Episode 240 “Wait, wait, waaaaaait! Kal! Let her go!” No sooner had I shouted than Kal swiftly withdrew his sword. “Elder!” “Cough, cough. Everyone… do not, under any circumstances, resist.” Clutching her throat, the woman quelled the clamor with a cold command, staggering upright as she regarded me with incredulity. “H-how are you here?” “That’s exactly what I want to ask you.” “……” “As a palace elder and one of the Mage King's confidants, what…

Episode 241 A dark chapel. I sat absent-mindedly, gazing up at the statue of the goddess. Moonlight streamed through the broken window, casting a white beam across the goddess’s face. For some reason, it felt both sacred and not quite sacred at the same time. “It feels different from the one I saw at church during the Green Festival prayer service.” Maybe it’s because this one is much bigger. Then again, the faces of gods are always drawn however humans imagine them, aren’t…

242His tone was flat, his expression impassive, yet somehow it all felt like a threat. The man brushed back Rubian’s hair with the utmost care, as though handling a glass doll, and gazed quietly down at her sleeping face. It was a scene of perfect stillness, but within that tableau, Ideline perceived an emotional tempest more turbulent than ever before. Ah, that look. 'That’s the face of someone completely smitten.' And it seemed he was well-practiced at holding those feelings…

Episode 243 Ch. 25 Royal Capital, Arcadia Palace. “So this is what it was.” The Mage King cried out, awash with ecstasy. “This was it!” Inside the dark laboratory. He embraced the blood-soaked corpses of the mages without a hint of concern. “Prepare the test subjects. I need to run one last confirmation!” The experiment involved injecting blood extracted from dark beasts into mages—a procedure originally conducted by the “First,” but now taken over by the Mage…

244“Have the residents been evacuated?” In response to the Emperor’s question, the captain of the knights answered with unwavering loyalty. “We’ve finished evacuating everyone in the southwestern area where we anticipate the fighting will take place. The barrier magical devices for the city walls, developed by the capital’s outpost mages led by Asha Drucan, are also operational.” Barrier magical devices. The Emperor recalled the appearance of those contraptions, the likes of which…

Episode 245 Thump. Thump. Attack magic rained down from above. A legion of golems loomed before him. Liam let out a short, shallow breath. Of course, the attack magic was deflected by the sturdy barrier, but he couldn’t help feeling anxious. The ruins of a collapsed temple. He was guarding the area around a half-destroyed chapel. Inside, Rubian was working to complete the portal, so until then, it was up to him to hold this position. ‘But where is this barrage of attack…

Episode 246 “Interfering, are you!” A blue spell circle flared at the mage’s fingertips. The ground trembled faintly. It didn’t matter. Liam advanced with deliberate steps, his gaze filled with nothing but that damned mage’s face. The reason he always lost his way right at his destination was because too many excellent thoughts crossed his mind. His thoughts chased one another endlessly, and before long he’d lose track of where he stood, wandering aimlessly. But now, for once,…

Episode 247 Dawn was breaking. As the bright sunlight scattered across the land, the traces of last night’s fierce battle were laid bare. Perhaps it was because we had fought against a golem army. There wasn’t blood everywhere, so it didn’t feel quite so gruesome… 'Wow. The terrain has changed.' A hill had sprung up overnight, and the ground was deeply gouged as if clawed by some great beast. 'Whatever it was, something truly extraordinary must have happened…

248Just then, Father tapped the map. “Not a bad idea. Good.” He quickly issued orders to his nearby officers. “First, summon Leon and the knights waiting at the harbor and reorganize our formation. Select those who will remain here to protect the people and those who will join me in striking the palace. If anyone surrenders or flees, let them go, but any priests in red-embroidered vestments are to be captured at all costs—and killed if they resist.” “Yes, sir.” “Ideline, what…

Episode 249 Leviathan stared vacantly ahead, then thrust his face at the nearby adjutant. “This is an order. Slap me.” “Excuse me?” “I think I must be dreaming right now.” “Sorry, I have to disobey that order.” The adjutant, inciting insubordination against his unhinged commander, went off to fight against the distant attacks of the mages. This was near the capital's fortress. Attack spells rained down from above, and an army of earth golems charged from the…

Episode 250 What I saw was a pitch-black cavern. A deep shadow cast by the faint light of the moon. The shadow resembled the Mage Kingdom’s sigil. It was, in other words, The shadow of a great dragon. He had been waiting for something for a very long time. “Vistal.” The very woman who had betrayed him and fled—whom he loathed beyond measure. “Humans possess a beautiful strength.” The goddess loved humans. He could not understand. A life that didn’t even last a…

Episode 251 “Kal…” A sense washed over me, a conviction that something was terribly wrong. I stretched out my hand, searching for the man hidden in the darkness. I grabbed him by the collar. I couldn’t hold back any longer. “Give me Khalid.” The man laughed again. “That’s my line.” “…” “Wistal.” In the pitch-black gloom, glinting eyes stared at me and licked over my skin. “It’s time you revealed yourself.” The magic within me writhed…

Episode 252 “I’m telling you, you can do it, right? Huh? Then, just think—won’t you be able to find your parents who abandoned you and get your revenge? Isn’t that so?” “…” “Damn, look at him clamming up again. Never listens, does he?” The man dusted off his hands. “Anyway… raising brats costs a lot. Hey! Don’t feed this one.” “Again? Tsk, tsk. Serves him right for acting out.” The men standing nearby snickered and walked away. Khalid silently…

Episode 253 The human body is transient and helplessly frail. I must separate this space. Muttering thus, the god unleashed a mighty power and then fell into a deep slumber within a new vessel. Time in the cave flowed so slowly, it seemed nearly at a standstill. Khalid, too, slipped in and out of a profound sleep, together with the divine beast. Before long, the boy grew into a young man. Judging by the growth of his body, it must have been only several years, yet Kal realized that the…

254“……” “……” “……What.” As I pulled away, I saw Kal’s face, utterly stunned. He looked as if he’d just witnessed the sun rising in the west. ‘…Uh.’ What’s with that reaction? ‘Was that… not right?’ Khalid blinked and murmured, “I was just about to say… there was blood on your lips…” He trailed off, unable to finish. His face was flushed all the way up to his hairline, and my heart gave a sharp thud. What? ‘C-come to…

Episode 255 Father stared fixedly at my lips. ‘He’s not looking at the lips I kissed Khalid with—he’s looking at the wound near my lips. Yes, it’s the wound near my lips he’s concerned about. The wound near my lips…’ As expected, Father clicked his tongue lightly and produced a small bandage from his coat. Ever prepared—the mark of a man with three reckless children. “Who would lay a hand on someone else’s daughter’s lips…?” Rip, tap. “How dare they……

Episode 256 The Mage King strained desperately to move his mana, but it was futile. This was a new restraint, crafted by Rubian solely for the purpose of binding the Mage King. Had he fully transformed into a dark mage, things might have been different, but his plan had stalled partway through. The Mage King was overcome by the feeling that he’d been ensnared by Rubian herself. “Guards! Guards! Capture the intruders! Where are my mages?” He shouted, but no one came. Why not?…

Episode 257 “Kill me? Me? How dare you, non-mages! Who do you think—!” “Shut up. Shut up! Shut up! Please, just! Shut up!” Void shrieked, losing all reason. At that moment, the “First” let out a beastly roar and invoked his magic. The binding spell that shot out from him halted Void’s movements abruptly. “Ghk.” “If you meant to kill me, you should have succeeded with your ambush!” The “First” rose from his kneeling position. And just as he prepared to…

258 At that moment. “The spell circle’s done—let’s go!” Rubian had finished inscribing the sigil that would lead down to the royal palace’s underground. Yet Khalid had hardly moved for some time now. To be precise, since she’d told him all that had happened in the tower. “…My soul, you said?” “Yes. My soul drifted off somewhere and came back. I just explained it, didn’t I?” “…” “Hey, what’s wrong? I get that it’s something to be shocked by.…

Episode 259 “……” Steady breaths touched his skin, then drifted away. He sat before the bars, gazing quietly at the woman who slept, her head pillowed on his palm. This was serious. Now, he knew how those gentle features curved when she smiled. ‘Just once more…’ Would he not see it again? Suddenly, he felt the gritty sensation of dirt on the back of his hand. Despite the supremely uncomfortable position, there was no pain. Rather, he was just grateful that this…
