802.
Whoooooosh—
As the wind blew, the acrid smell of burning pierced his nostrils.
His white hair fluttering, Leo watched Erebos, who had taken Kail’s form, with red eyes.
At this moment, it was as if time had stopped.
“The Hero of the Beginning, Kail? That’s impossible! Even if he really existed, he’s a figure from 5000 years ago. What the hell is this?”
“Someone’s pretending to be…”
Those dispatched from the Rodren Empire began to stir.
Then
Flash—!
Roon stretched out his hand and summoned his magic staff.
Snap—!
Roon’s eyes flashed with killing intent as he aimed his staff at Erebos.
Kwagagagagagang—!
A tremendous magical bombardment was unleashed from Roon’s staff.
Though it was magic cast in an instant, its power was beyond imagination.
Everyone looked at Roon with shocked eyes.
“Is it possible to deploy magic of this magnitude in such a short moment?”
A mage dispatched from the Rodren Empire muttered with an incredulous expression.
Literally a realm of magic that transcended common sense by far.
“Seirun Student Council President. Even so, attacking so suddenly…”
As Raina spoke with a flustered face, Leo said.
“That was a fragment of Erebos just now.”
“What?!”
Seeing Leo draw his sword and speak calmly, Raina’s eyes widened.
“Hey! Leo! Are you sure?”
As Cal asked in panic, Leo looked toward the place where smoke was rising thickly and said.
“I’m certain. That attack just now was at a level that could damage even a Legion Commander.”
Whoosh—!
Wind blew, scattering dust.
When the dust cleared, the group wore expressions of utter dismay.
They knew it was magic of extraordinary power.
But…
“The mountain…”
Cal’s jaw dropped.
Nothing remained where Roon had fired his magic.
It wasn’t a matter of the terrain changing or anything like that.
Literally everything exposed to the magic had vanished without a trace.
Seeing the magic that had bored a massive hole, Cal gulped dryly.
Roon, called the genius of the century.
He knew that even the title of genius was insufficient.
As the reincarnation of the Progenitor of the Starry Skies, Roon had overcome countless trials after making his name.
Trials that others might have died from several times over.
But Roon had overcome all of them with ease.
Even so, Cal had vaguely thought that this capability wasn’t everything.
Roon had…
No, not just Roon, but Rea, who was his peer, also seemed to be hiding their true potential.
But he never dreamed it would be at this level.
‘And this is just a fragmentary level.’
As Cal wore a fed-up expression.
Thud— Thud—
Erebos emerged through the thick dust clouds.
“Hmm?”
Erebos’s head tilted slightly.
Swoosh—
Then he extended his left hand.
Flicker—
Black flames wavered, and simultaneously a greatsword appeared.
Leo and Roon’s eyes stirred.
‘It’s identical.’
The way he drew the sword from extradimensional space.
Even the small habits were identical to the Hero of the Beginning.
Grip—!
Erebos grasped the greatsword with both hands.
Seeing this, Leo clicked his tongue and rushed forward.
“Roon!”
“Tch!”
Roon deployed his mana.
Instead of the longsword in his hand, Leo drew a greatsword identical to Erebos’s from extradimensional space.
Gooooooo—! Flicker—
Seeing black aura gathering on Erebos’s greatsword, Leo gritted his teeth and drew up gray aura.
Whoosh—!
As Erebos swung his greatsword, the atmosphere trembled.
Leo swung his greatsword imbued with gray aura to meet it before Erebos’s greatsword could complete its swing.
Gray aura and black aura crossed.
Just before the greatswords collided.
Roon deployed shield magic.
A clash of forces containing tremendous power.
The collision distorted the atmosphere and cracked the surrounding ground.
Along with that, an enormous shockwave swept over them.
“What? I can’t hear any…”
Runia muttered unconsciously, then started.
‘Sound…’
She couldn’t hear.
Looking to the side with a bewildered face, she saw Eiran speaking with a panicked expression.
But only her lips moved; no sound could be heard.
Leo couldn’t withstand the shockwave and was blown back.
Kiiiiiiing— Gwagagakakakang—!
Then tinnitus came, and tremendous impact sounds began reaching their ears.
As their hearing returned, everyone unconsciously covered their ears.
“Ugh? Just how much power was contained in that sword?!”
Raina spoke with a shocked expression.
“Is Leo alright? Senior Roon! Wouldn’t it be better to block with magic…”
“No. That sword strike just now can’t be blocked with magic.”
“What?”
“That sword strike didn’t just contain aura.”
Roon glared at Erebos with cold eyes.
“It also contained magic. Powerful dispel magic.”
“What? Even so, there’s no way Senior Roon’s magic could be easily dispelled…”
“There is.”
Roon bit his lips.
‘If I can just weaken the magic’s power, I can destroy magic with aura.’
Roon is a flawless, perfect mage as a magic user.
Not only in magic research and development, but also in combat magic, he possesses skills that no one else can match.
In the field of magic research and development, among the people Roon had seen, the one who was as excellent as himself was Risinass.
‘And regarding combat magic…’
Thud- Thud-
Roon bit his lips tightly as he watched Erebos, who had Kail’s appearance, approaching him.
‘It’s Kail.’
The sense of utilizing magic in combat.
And even the versatility of applying magic to martial arts and summoning.
Kail is an archmage who makes even Roon admire him.
And when Kail destroys an opponent’s barrier magic, he incorporates dispel spells into his aura.
This sounds easy to say, but it’s an absurd technique that’s only possible because Kail is a mage knight of that level.
‘So it’s not just simply copying Kail’s outward appearance.’
Roon clenched his fist.
‘Moreover, judging by the power of the sword strikes… it’s close to Kail in his prime.’
Power close to Kail’s when he departed on the final expedition.
With his current self, it would be difficult to handle alone.
“That Leo kid… is he okay?”
Then Cal spoke with a worried voice.
At those words, Roon curled up the corners of his mouth.
‘Of course, I’m not alone right now.’
“He’s not someone who’ll be taken down by just that much. That guy… he’s tenacious.”
“Would it kill you to show some concern?”
Then Leo appeared beside Roon using spatial movement magic.
Seeing him calmly brushing off the dirt covering his entire body, he looked fine.
Cal’s eyes widened at the sight.
“What, what? Leo! You knew how to use magic too?”
“So what?”
“You used aura and summoning! But how can you use magic?”
Looking at the shocked Cal, Leo chuckled.
“Didn’t I mention? I’m All-Class.”
“What?”
Cal made a dumbfounded expression.
Besides him, the others also looked at Leo with surprised eyes.
Leaving behind people’s surprised gazes, Leo looked at Erebos and said.
“Lady Raina.”
“Yeah?”
“Please take the investigation team and the kids to Flobe Estate.”
“What? We’re going to fight together too!”
“R-right. We can’t let just the two of you fight!”
When Lunia and Eiran spoke up indignantly, Leo said.
“Sorry, but this battlefield is still too early for you guys.”
A year ago was a time when he had barely regained any of his power compared to now.
That’s why he received help from the students.
But not now.
Leo has regained even more power than back then.
‘And Luna is here too.’
When the two of them engage in battle.
The companion who could produce maximum synergy was none other than Luna.
The current Luna is a reincarnator like himself, not the Arron of that time, so she hasn’t fully regained her power, but that’s okay since their compatibility would be good.
‘Crucially…’
“The enemy isn’t just that one thing.”
“Huh?”
Rummmmmmmmmble-
Then the ground began to shake.
At that sound, Roon perked up his ears.
“Leo, don’t tell me that’s…”
“That’s right.”
Leo glared at Erebos with Kail’s appearance with sharp eyes.
“It’s the right hand.”
“…This got troublesome.”
Roon irritably extended his hand.
“L-Lady Raina!”
Then one summoner covering one eye urgently called Raina.
“What?”
“A-an enormous number of mabeast armies are heading toward Flobe Estate!”
“What? Where did mabeasts suddenly appear from?”
“I-I don’t know! But it’s an enormous number!”
Raina bit her lips tightly.
Leo said to such Raina.
“We’ll handle this, so please take care of Flobe Estate.”
“…Got it. Kids, follow me.”
At Raina’s words, Eiran and Cal hurriedly prepared to move.
“Senior Roon…”
Lunia, who was left alone, called Roon with a worried face.
Looking at such Lunia, Roon winked.
“Don’t worry, Lunia. Just trust this big sister.”
“…”
“Don’t worry.”
Roon said while putting his arm around Leo’s neck.
“This Roon-sama together with this guy is invincible!”
Seeing Roon smile brightly, Lunia nodded heavily and headed toward Flobe Estate.
When Lunia disappeared, Leo said casually.
“We’re not exactly invincible, are we?”
“Do you want to say such things in this atmosphere?”
Roon glared at Leo who broke the mood and released the shoulder embrace while saying.
“Hey, damn fireball. Why are you annoyingly wearing that appearance?”
“Indeed. Luna Rubinance, is it.”
Erebos with Kail’s appearance made an interested expression.
“Reincarnation, how fascinating. Then…”
Erebos, who stroked his chin, looked at Leo.
“Are you the surviving Hero?”
“Damn glad to see me?”
Leo glared at Erebos with a murderous smile.
Erebos, who was looking at such Leo, made an amused expression.
“Interesting. To think you’re receiving the blessing of the Frozen Realm of Death.”
Leo’s eyes twitched.
“The fact that you’re on this side means… you’re absent from that world right now.”
“….”
“Indeed. Interesting. How interesting.”
Erebos hummed as if he was enjoying himself.
‘This bastard….’
When Leo gritted his teeth.
“More importantly, I asked why you annoyingly took that form!”
Roon growled fiercely.
He wanted to smash the face of Erebos before his eyes right away.
“The reason I took this form? Why are you asking something so obvious?”
Erebos spoke as if it was natural.
“Because it’s the appearance of the strongest being I know.”
