793.

Leo, who had blown away the room where Roon was, let his sword hang loose and walked trudge-trudge toward the dormitory building.

Crackle- Crackle-

The dormitory room burning from Leo’s magic.

Whoosh-!

After a moment, the flames died down.

And from the ruined dormitory building, one person walked out.

Platinum hair and large golden eyes.

The elf, who had an somehow untouchable atmosphere, possessed a beautiful appearance that would make anyone who saw them lose their mind.

Roon Orweni.

The student council president of Seirun and the elf called the reincarnation of Luna, Progenitor of the Starry Skies, by the world.

Actually Luna Rubinance herself.

‘…How unfamiliar.’

She felt the same strange feeling as when she saw Kar, who was Arron’s reincarnation.

It seemed she could never get used to seeing someone she knew in a completely different appearance.

Even so…

“Pretty.”

When Leo muttered dryly, Roon looked down at Leo and crouched down.

Then she rested her chin on her hand and tilted her head.

“Of course. If this face isn’t pretty, you’d need to go to the hospital.”

At those words, Leo let out a hollow laugh.

“Did you cast the magic?”

“That’s right.”

“Why did you cast it?”

If it had been the Luna that Leo knew, she would have rolled her eyes and charged at him the moment he cast magic.

But Roon showed the tolerance to ask for a reason.

“Why are you asking that?”

“I was going to let it slide if it was a mistake.”

At Leo’s question, Roon spoke in a listless voice.

She looked somehow extremely unmotivated.

The words about letting it slide were also true.

Leo saw through that fact and clicked his tongue.

‘She’s definitely lost it.’

“I did it on purpose.”

“Why did you do that?”

Even at the words that it was intentional, Roon asked back in the same unmotivated voice.

“Because I want to fight.”

“I see.”

“Aren’t you angry?”

“Angry? Not particularly.”

Roon shook her head.

“There have been many people like you.”

She became the student council president of Seirun at a young age.

On top of that, Roon had gained tremendous fame by receiving the evaluation of being the reincarnation of the Progenitor of the Starry Skies.

To be honest, there were countless people who didn’t believe in Roon’s fame.

There were also many who wanted to defeat Roon and gain that fame.

And most of those people were elves.

Surpassing the reincarnation of the Progenitor of the Starry Skies meant, in other words, that one could become the successor to the Progenitor of the Starry Skies.

For various reasons, Roon had to be put to the test countless times in elven society.

Each time, she thoroughly crushed her opponents and solidified her position.

‘Most of them denied Kail’s existence.’

Roon let out a small sigh as she recalled those from before.

Among them were those who had risen to the position of Heroes.

As time passed and even those who couldn’t win against Roon could gain fame just by achieving some results, it had now reached the point where all races wanted to challenge Roon.

This was because, unlike Rea, Kar, and Valhar who avoided fights, Roon didn’t avoid the fights that came to her.

In Roon’s eyes, Leo was just one of the many challengers who coveted fame.

So there was no reason to be angry.

She would simply grant what they wanted to those who rushed toward the fire like moths.

Roon reached out her hand without even drawing her staff.

Snap-!

When she flicked her finger, giant roots grew from the ground.

Crack-crack-crack-!

The roots wrapped around Leo and dragged him straight into the ground.

“The room’s a mess. I wonder if I should sleep in another room?”

When Roon sighed and looked around the room.

Thud-! Crack-crack-crack-!

“…?”

Leo burst through the plant roots that Roon had created with magic and shot up into the sky.

Roon, who turned her head back toward Leo, exclaimed in admiration.

“Wow, you’re strong.”

Seeing Roon genuinely admiring him, Leo tilted his head.

“Don’t you have anything more?”

A provocative action.

Despite such an attitude, Roon calmly waved her hand.

“How about this?”

Flash-!

Countless magic circles were created in the void.

Star magic imbued with various attributes.

Seeing that, Leo crossed his arms.

“With just this much?”

At Leo’s provocative words, Roon flicked her fingers.

The magic activated all at once and poured down on Leo.

Hot flames, swirling lightning, hail pouring from the sky. Blinding flashes.

An immeasurable feast of magic.

Leo, who had been watching the countless spells pouring down on him, raised his sword.

Whoosh-

A flame aura settled on Leo’s sword.

Kail, the Hero of the Beginning, was not bound by attributes.

The mana characteristic called purity granted Kail the ability to freely handle all attributes.

That’s why during his time as Kail, he used attributes according to the situation.

But after reincarnation.

Leo had been using the flame attribute most frequently.

While this was somewhat influenced by his maternal family, the Jerdingers, the reason Leo chose the flame attribute as his main was because the enemy he had to defeat was Erebos.

‘The Calamity Flame that never goes out.’

Leo’s mana characteristic was certainly a natural enemy to Erebos.

But the reason the pure mana characteristic was a natural enemy to the Calamity Flame was because of its ability to neutralize that immortality, not because it was a natural enemy of the flame itself.

In his previous life, the Calamity Flame had taken everything from Leo.

His dear friends who were more precious than life.

Even Kail, the Hero of the Beginning, and his own life.

‘Only the same flame can counter the Calamity Flame.’

In his previous life, only Dweno, who wielded the golden flames, could stop the Calamity Flame.

‘If I only inherit Dweno’s power, I’ll just be repeating the same thing as in my previous life.’

That’s why Leo worked hard to obtain flames that could rival Dweno’s.

He also helped complete Runia’s white flames into flames that could destroy the Calamity Flame.

Kwaaaaaaaaa-!

The crimson flame aura that burst from Leo’s sword devoured Roon’s magic.

Roon’s eyes widened at the sight.

‘That’s on par with that pervert’s flames?’

But his surprise was only momentary.

‘Just because it rivals Dweno’s firepower doesn’t mean he’s as strong as Dweno.’

Roon’s eyes became indifferent again as he raised his hand.

Then he brought his raised hand down.

Kuwoong-!

Tremendous pressure crashed down on Leo.

Kugagagagagagang-!

The ground beneath Leo collapsed, and the surrounding area was half-destroyed.

Powerful gravity magic.

Since the caster was Luna, its power was beyond imagination.

Kwang-!

Leo also couldn’t resist the gravity and was slammed into the ground.

But…

Hwareureureuk-

Mana burst from Leo’s body.

‘Magic?’

Surprise flickered in Roon’s pupils.

Kwaaaaaa-!

Crimson flames shot up to the sky, burning away the gravity magic formula completely.

Leo brushed off the remaining embers from his body.

And looked up at Roon.

Roon looked at Leo and muttered irritably.

“How annoying.”

‘Annoying…’

Leo’s eyes darkened.

‘Right, from the perspective of someone being challenged, the challenger might be annoying.’

But what stood before Leo now was none other than Luna Rubinance.

The archmage who loved magic and cheered more passionately than anyone for new magical possibilities.

A creative woman who pursued the unconventional over the conventional and showed intellectual curiosity brighter than anyone at new discoveries.

The battle between Leo and Roon was literally over in an instant.

But Roon must have seen it.

A new possibility he didn’t know about.

He should have felt curiosity, not annoyance, toward the unknown existence that was Leo.

The Luna Rubinance that Leo knew was that kind of woman.

But the current Luna… Roon simply dismissed Leo as an annoying existence.

Roon reached his hand into the void.

Uwoong-! Tak-!

A summoned staff was caught in Roon’s hand.

Leo knew well what that meant.

‘Here it comes.’

Flash!

Hundreds of magic circles were created in the sky.

But the creation of magic circles didn’t stop there.

Leo lowered his stance.

Kugagagagagagak-!

The spells all activated at once, unleashing bombardment.

Leo, who had bent his knees, leaped.

Kwagagagagagagagang-!

Befitting Luna, who had the nickname “Destroyer,” the surrounding area was swept away in an instant.

‘Super senses.’

Leo opened his super senses.

Sharply honed senses.

Along with that, he used aura to draw out his body’s strength to the maximum.

He deflected the incoming magic with his sword, changing its trajectory.

Kwang-!

The deflected magic caused a massive explosion.

Despite the numbing shock in his fingertips, Leo didn’t stop.

He quickly closed the distance with Roon.

‘… Just like the Luna I know.’

Roon’s combat style was all too familiar to Leo.

It hadn’t changed at all from 5000 years ago.

This contrasted with Leo, whose combat style had continuously changed after reincarnation.

He had accepted the abilities that developed over 5000 years and made them his own.

While the basic foundation hadn’t changed, it was true that he had endlessly evolved and grown.

But Roon, whose previous appearance was hard to find, had kept his combat style exactly as it was 5000 years ago.

Something from the past was holding Roon back.

Leo’s eyes narrowed.

‘Right. He’s not weak even now.’

Rather, from Tartaros’s perspective, he would still be a thrilling terror.

Probably only two people in this world could avoid Roon’s magical bombardment and approach like this.

‘Arron and Dweno.’

Leo could also avoid the magical bombardment and close the distance like this because he knew Roon too well.

It’s just that his opponent was too unfavorable.

But…

‘That won’t do.’

Kwak-!

Leo, who had approached right below Roon, kicked off the ground.

Seeing this, Roon used fly magic to soar into the sky at tremendous speed.

Kwang-!

Leo used aura step to kick off the void.

Flames exploded from his toes, gaining acceleration.

‘The Luna Rubinance I knew was like a star.’

She always shone.

Sometimes so brightly it was annoying.

But… that’s why she was Luna.

Just as a star that doesn’t shine isn’t a star.

A Luna that doesn’t shine isn’t Luna.

Even if her appearance had changed.

Even if she was living a new life.

The fact that this was her essence remained unchanged.

Hwaak-!

Leo chased until he was close enough that their breaths could touch.

“Damn.”

Roon clicked her tongue.

“I guess I’ve reached my limit too.”

The fact that she had been defeated seemed shocking.

But even with this absurd situation, she still lacked motivation.

“Am I obsolete now too?”

She simply mocked herself and accepted the situation with indifference.

Seeing Roon like this, Leo shouted irritably.

“Snap out of it! You damn brat!”

Whack-!

Leo’s palm struck Roon’s right ear.

The impact bounced right off due to her powerful shield magic.

A shock that crushed his hand.

But Leo didn’t care and put more force into it, sending Roon flying.

Crash-!

Roon flew and crashed into the ground.

Leo slowly flew toward her.

***

‘What the hell is he.’

Holding her ringing head, Roon shakily got up.

It was shocking.

She never thought she, a Great Hero, would be defeated.

‘Well… there’s no law saying someone with our level of skill can’t be reborn.’

But it made sense.

During the Age of Calamity… the existence of Great Heroes was like a miracle.

There was no law saying that miracle couldn’t happen again.

‘Honestly. It doesn’t make sense. Why should we go through that hell again.’

Roon made an irritated expression.

Her head was ringing and her ears were muffled.

Only a ringing tinnitus from the shock echoed in her ears.

‘Kail never got rewarded in the end.’

She gritted her teeth thinking of her friend who couldn’t be revived.

‘I hate it all.’

She hated saving the world and magic too.

‘Why wasn’t Kail revived!’

Roon squeezed her eyes shut, thinking of Kail who must have fought Erebos alone and lonely in the end.

‘I miss Kail.’

When she had that thought.

The tinnitus that had been echoing in her ears disappeared.

♬-♪–♪.

Along with it, a beautiful melody could be heard faintly.

‘A song?’

Roon opened her eyes, feeling a bit puzzled.

And she saw it.

A human girl fighting against Runia.

‘Chelsea… Rwallin, was it?’

The moment she realized Chelsea’s presence.

She saw a dazzling flash racing before her eyes.

‘That child is… Iliana Raden?’

These were the children she had dismissed as Kail’s imitations made by Risinass.

She thought their limits would be clear.

Children she hadn’t paid attention to, thinking they were Risinass’s wrong choice.

No, maybe even saying such things was too bothersome.

She simply had no interest in these children at all.

But…

‘These children… harbored such potential?’

This was magic she’d never seen before.

Creative and innovative.

She could tell at once that these spells were magic that maximized the user’s potential.

And on one hand, she felt tremendous nostalgia.

‘Who on earth created that magic?’

The techniques embedded in the magic.

The way the techniques were woven together.

They were all too familiar to Roon.

She couldn’t not know even if she wanted to.

This magic was created by herself.

Long ago.

It was definitely something created by herself from when she passionately loved magic.

‘But… I don’t know this magic.’

Roon gritted her teeth.

An indescribable emotion struck her chest.

Those spells seemed to be speaking to her.

What the hell are you now.

‘I… I…’

As Roon clenched her fist.

Thwack-!

“Kyaah?!”

Someone kicked her butt.

Luna fell forward and rubbed her butt while looking back.

There was Leo looking down at Roon.

“What are you doing!”

“Don’t you feel anything watching that magic?”

“…?”

“How long are you going to pathetically think about a dead guy?”

“…!”

“If that guy were reborn, what would you want him to do? You’d want him to move forward, wouldn’t you?”

Roon’s eyes wavered at Leo’s words.

“Then what about him? If the situation were reversed and he knew you were like this? He’d be so pleased. Right?”

“You… who are you?”

Roon asked with a trembling voice.

At that question, Leo extended his hand.

“Being trapped in the past isn’t like you.”

Magic arose from Leo’s hand.

Seeing that magic, Roon’s eyes widened greatly.

Soon tears burst from those eyes.

Seeing Roon like that, Leo spoke in his characteristically unkind tone.

“You don’t need me to help you up to stand, do you? Luna Rubinance.”

“I wouldn’t want that. You damn bastard.”

Speaking roughly, Roon, no, Luna got up.

She gritted her teeth as if tears would burst out at any moment.

Leo, who had been watching Luna stagger to her feet, chuckled softly and held out what he had in his hand.

It was a flower created with flower-blooming magic.

Luna received the flower with trembling hands.

Looking at Luna like that, Leo said.

“Whether in your past life or now, flowers suit you well.”

At those words, Luna hung her head low.

At his rough yet warm words, the tears she had been holding back came pouring out.

“Or maybe they suit you even better now?”

“You damn bastard….”

Luna headbutted Leo’s chest.

And Leo, looking down at Luna who was sobbing quietly, sighed and patted her back.

Luna, with her face buried in Leo’s chest, burst into tears.
