bang!
At that time, Russell was struggling to control the chill that flowed into his body.
‘What kind of energy is this… … .’
The energy that froze the mana rod as soon as it penetrated and ran wild was enough to remind me of a beast.
However, Russell’s counterattack was also formidable.
He tried to transform his entire body’s mana closer to fire properties and at the same time put a rein on his rampaging energy.
Bang, bang!
Each time energy clashed with energy, an intense shock wave spread throughout the body.
bang!
With the resulting shock wave, Russell’s body soared upward and fell repeatedly, as if he were jumping.
‘Tsk… … .’
Russell gritted his teeth as he felt blood flowing down the corner of his mouth.
It was a pain that felt like I was losing consciousness, but I intuitively realized that if I lost consciousness now, I might be in an irreversible situation.
You have to endure it somehow.
It was clear that if he had failed, he would have turned into an ice statue and died in the middle of an underwater cave where no one could find him.
Bang, bang-.
Meanwhile, the two energies continued to collide without stopping, and as shock waves were scattered throughout Mana Road, a thought passed through Russell’s head.
‘If shock waves are going to continue to occur anyway… … .’
Let’s use this shock wave instead. That’s what I thought.
If other people had heard it, they would have definitely dismissed it as nonsense.
But Russell was different.
‘Carefully induce chills.’
While pretending to have a tense confrontation, it creates a gap and induces chills in some people.
Not too much, just what you can handle.
The place Russell led was a fairly narrow part of Mana Road.
In the East, it is also called a vein, and it flows from a large tributary and extends intricately like a spider web throughout the body. … That part.
Although it may seem unimportant at first glance because it is a thin and narrow path, piercing the entire body’s veins was more important than imagined.
It doesn’t really matter when you’re in the low circle, but as you go up to the high circle, the mana control ability itself changes depending on the level of hit of Semac.
And, even Russell had not yet pioneered the entire telegraph system.
‘Use this opportunity to break through the Semac.’
As the decision was made, Russell lost some of his magic.
As if spinning silk thread, he made it thin and at the same time, he repeatedly poured his energy into the vein where the chill had flowed.
─Kkkwang!
The two energies collide and a small sound of thunder rings out.
Since not much energy collided in a narrow space, the roar was also not loud.
‘Turn it off!’
However, despite the small sound, the pain Russell felt was beyond imagination.
It has to be that way.
Because the shock wave that occurred broke down the wall blocking Semac.
For a moment, I felt as if my eyes were becoming dizzy, but what came immediately afterwards was a feeling of coolness and relief.
This happened because the wall collapsed and energy began to flow freely into the small newly connected passage.
‘It’s done—!’
With tingling and coolness coexisting, Russell clenched his fist in his heart.
It was a moment that proved that the initial idea of using the repulsive force at the moment of collision to strike the Semac was not just an illusion.
Moreover, if you consume your power little by little in this way, one day you will be able to rein in the rampaging main stream of cold energy.
It’s truly a two-win situation.
After that, Russell continued to repeat the series of actions.
An action that intentionally induces cold energy towards Semac and creates a repulsive force there, causing the wall to collapse.
Even so, it is a weak and thin vein compared to the main stream of Mana Road.
Moreover, the number of veins extending throughout the body like a spider web was countless.
It is a task that requires not only caution but also enough time.
Thump, thump, thump-.
Soon, with loud and small sounds flowing from all over his body, Russell lost track of time.
It was a moment of falling into selflessness.
.
.
About two months after Russell left the royal capital, it was late at night when even the moonlight that had fallen crookedly hung at the top of the sky.
“Hmm… … .”
Hecate, who was still busy with her backlog of work, groaned and adjusted her posture to sit down.
Perhaps because I had been crossing my legs for quite some time, one side of my pelvis felt stiff.
‘I need to fix it… … .’
Even though I know it’s not a good posture, I guess it’s become a habit, because if I concentrate, I keep repeating this posture.
Lying next to the sighing woman were still a mountain of documents.
These were documents that everyone had to take on when they sat in the position of regent.
To be precise, I should say that I took it upon myself.
The position that replaced the king’s duties was the regent, so the amount of work could not have been small.

Because we need to know what the size of Endymion is and all the big and small things reported from its numerous fiefdoms.
In addition, there were various things to look into, including administrative, diplomatic, and tax issues. That was the king’s job, and it was the regent who carried out the king’s job.
However, if you ask me if that means I have to reduce my sleep for over a month… … That’s not it again.
Nevertheless, the reason why the amount of work was so large was simply because she took on a lot of work herself in order to get used to the position of regent as quickly as possible.
There were times when the situation was the situation.
‘It’s a situation where we can’t take our eyes off the internal affairs of the empire.’
As if to illustrate the situation, many of the documents in front of her were actually spies from the empire.
As Russell said, part of it is about abnormal phenomena linked to cultists occurring throughout the empire.
And most of them… … .
‘The princes’ war for supremacy.’
“Parts of the 2nd prince faction and the 4th princess faction clashed in the Cobalt Plains, resulting in 1,000 casualties and serious injuries to the 2nd prince faction… … , the damage from the 4th Princess faction was 1,300 dead and seriously injured… … .」
“Currently, both sides are in a lull… … .」
“Multiple local wars break out in the Beament Mountains. A clash between the 1st prince faction and the 3rd prince faction is expected… … .」
“I guess the goals of both sides are… … .」
“The majority of the empire’s superhumans are currently observing the situation in silence, or we are trying to figure out whether there is another plan in sight… … .」
This was the content of intelligence that had been received not long ago. But what turned the situation around was a piece of intelligence delivered 20 days ago.
“A part of the Imperial Great Swordsman, Feewel Roinan, joined the 5th Prince’s side… … .」
“The 5th prince’s strength overwhelms the 6th princess’s strength, and at the forefront are unidentified black knights… … !」
“The 3rd prince’s entire force was annihilated by the 5th prince!”
Among those who had been fighting for the throne, the 5th prince, who was said to be the weakest, suddenly emerged.
From where he had been summoned, he had included a large number of unknown strong men in his army.
The 5th prince’s subsequent actions were truly devastating.
“The 5th prince beheads the 1st prince who surrendered with a white flag!”
“The 2nd prince and 4th princess join forces to stop the 5th prince. In the battle that followed immediately after, 5,000 people died… … .」
In fact, it could be said that the 5th prince was the closest to imperial authority.
A few days after that.
Another piece of intelligence came in and shook the entire Endymion.
“The 5th Prince declares official recognition of the existence of the Black Tower.”
“The Black Knights who were at the forefront of the 5th Prince’s side were also revealed to be Death Knights created with the help of cultists… … .」
The mastermind who helped the cultists operate secretly in the empire.
It was the moment when it was finally revealed to the public who was behind it.
.
.
A cultist.
Otherwise called warlocks, their actions were so ugly and terrible that they were even called the heroes of the continent.
In other words, they are not welcome not only in Endymion but also anywhere on the continent.
Is it because of that?
To cultists, the Black Tower was like an unfulfillable wish or dream.
However, the 5th prince, who was no different from being decided as the next emperor, recognized the black tower.
In fact, it was no different from admitting that he had joined hands with cultists.
Naturally, there was a backlash in the empire’s magic world.
It is natural that many of the tower owners who have been keeping quiet are moving.
Roderick Armstrong was one of them.
He is the Empire’s 8th circle wizard and the strongest wizard in the Yellow Tower lineage who prevented Nicolo from taking the name of the Dark Tower.
It is said that the rock fortress he creates can block Hemingway’s tidal wave and withstand even Daria’s flame for a moment.
His old ball plunged from high in the sky to the ground.
The rock fortress he was proud of has long since been reduced to a handful of sand and scattered.
Quagwagwagwang!
There was a loud bang, sand and dust rose high, and the sound of wings flapping rang out.
fluttering-.
An ink-colored film that does not allow even a single speck of light, and black hair. And pale skin and hateful eyes.
The person who appeared was a man who appeared to be in his 30s at most.
However, Roderick Armstrong, the 8th Circle wizard, was overwhelmed by such a man.
Hwaak-.
The sand dust that had risen high in the wings is swept away in one go.
A pit that was more than a dozen meters deep, and Roderick wriggling like an insect inside it.
The man who discovered him quickly descended downward.
Then, he hits his back with a violent step.
Boom, boom!
“Wow!”
The pain of having my spine crushed!
Rodrik screamed as if he were dying.
I instinctively flailed my arms and legs to escape.
But… … .
His leg had already been viciously torn off by something below the knee.
And his disciples and like-minded magic tower owners were looking at Roderick like that.
They were all sitting on the floor, their bodies covered in blood and dust, and their expressions clearly showed defeat.
Now, the man’s next actions will determine Rodrik’s life or death.
It was then.
“stop.”
A young voice suddenly heard, stopping the black-haired man’s actions.
“Let’s leave it at that for now. Jillian.”
Gillian, the black-haired man, secretly gritted his teeth at the voice that did not even have the slightest sense.
Puzzle-.
Hiding his distorted face behind his flowing hair, he removed the foot that was trampling on Rodrik.
“hmm.”
With a small sigh, the owner of the young voice got out of the palanquin.
A gorgeous palanquin that looks like it was made from an entire throne. I guess I just turned sixteen or seventeen.
The boy got off the palanquin and approached the inside of the pit at a leisurely pace, and then grabbed Rodrik’s hair with a harsh hand.
Wow!
“Then why did you do such a vain thing? Lord Roderick. “It would have been better if I did not get involved in the squabbles between the princes like before and just served whoever became the emperor.”
A voice I can’t tell if it’s mocking or pity.
Roderick, who made eye contact with the boy along with the voice, unconsciously closed his mouth.
“─!!”
The colorless, gray despair that flowed from the boy’s eyes, which he was forced to face, seemed to color the world murky.
And what existed beyond that despair was an abyss with no end.
“Yes, you… … “5, you are not His Highness the 5th Prince.”
Roderick opened his mouth in a trembling voice. A voice that would never leak out of his pit as all his body’s energy had drained out.
“5… … “What have you done to His Highness the Prince?”
The prince took pity on the bird with a broken leg and took care of it without sleeping properly.
He was a weak-hearted person who liked the flowers in the garden but hesitated to pick them.
He said that the 5th prince he knew would never look like that.
At Roderick’s words, the owner of the young voice, wearing the shell of the 5th prince, muttered with a small sneer.
“What should I do?”
“… … ?”
“I already ate.”
It was a truly bizarre smile, with only one corner of his mouth twisted and curled up.
And then another full moon.
Another piece of intelligence arrived at Endymion.
“The winner of the battle for succession to the throne is the 5th prince.”
“It is confirmed that the 5th prince will ascend to the position of emperor, and the coronation ceremony will be held in a week… … .」
The owner of the empire has changed.
