What was waiting for Russell, who returned to the royal capital using the warp gate, was a summons from the royal family.
An urgent call without even a little time to rest or prepare.
Perhaps, although not directly, it was because of the thought that with war approaching, a superhuman strength like Russell could not be toyed with.
Daria, Russell’s teacher, was guiding him.
He looked a little more tired than when we met before.
It has to be that way.
Now that White Tower is on the battlefield, Nicolo is maintaining the supply line, and Hemingway is forming the rearguard—.
The magical security of the royal capital was left entirely to her.
In the meantime, since I had not let go of any of my existing responsibilities, it seemed inevitable that even if I was not physically exhausted, I would feel mental fatigue.
Daria muttered as she walked along the garden inside the royal castle, perhaps fully aware of the situation.
“They say people should live by looking at the sunlight, so it’s nice to be taking a walk with my youngest student around lunch time for the first time in a while. good.”
It was also something I said in an attempt to lighten the mood.
Although Endymion is not directly waging an all-out war, a friendly country has been attacked.
These current wars could become a fuse at any time and turn into an all-out war against the empire.
Perhaps because of this, there was a strange tension not only in the royal capital but also within the royal castle.
It must not have been an illusion that the faces of the knights who came and went and raised their nods were stiff, and that the maids and servants seemed to talk less than usual.
“Rather… … .”
As I was observing the atmosphere, Daria suddenly turned around, her tail trailing off.
I continued to move forward in the direction I had been going backwards.
“… … “It seems like I found what I was looking for.”
Perhaps because she was in the 8th circle, it was easy for her to see Russell’s skills, which had not been readily apparent in the past.
This time was no exception.
As she swept over Russell’s entire body and headed towards his heart, her eyes were bright.
“Even before departure, if you hit it well, you can say that it is mid 7th circle level. I would have thought that its magical power will soon rise to 7th circle master level.”
The reason he hasn’t been able to face the wall yet is simply because his skills are lacking, and his capabilities aren’t much different from those of the 7th Circle Masters.
“I was just lucky.”
Russell smiled bitterly as he said that. As he said, Russell never thought that everything he had achieved was through his own efforts.
However, I was lucky enough to be born as a descendant of the savior of the other world, and I was also lucky enough to inherit what the Dragon God King left behind.
It would be a lie to say that there was no effort at all in the process, but it could not be denied that we were lucky.
The moment you say that, go!
“Ugh-!”
In an instant, a star flashed before my eyes.
The speed was so fast that even a super-talented person could not react, and it was a blow that did not contain even a single hint of hostility.
It was Daria’s and her teacher’s honey balm.
“You’re so excited that you’re making noises about pooping in the bed.”
“yes?”
A rhyme so clean you can’t believe it’s teaching. Daria’s admonition was not yet over.
“No matter how high the quality of the mineral you obtained, forging it into a famous sword is entirely due to the efforts of a craftsman and the flame he lit, so the power you have now would not have been possible without your own efforts.”
Daria stopped walking backwards and came closer, tapping Russell’s solar plexus.
“Spread your shoulders. This guy. No matter what anyone says, aren’t you the one that Daria Snowwhite recognized and accepted as her disciple? “If you’re not a bastard, then my insight is the problem.”
He then started giggling and laughing as if his own words were very funny.
Russell laughed a little as he read his thoughts and sensed his teacher’s words and actions to resolve them, and felt a part of his heart relax.
“Master.”
“Yes?”
Daria tilted her head at Russell’s call, and Russell answered her calmly.
“thank you.”
“Why are you suddenly thanking me, you foolish guy?”
Even though he said that, did he not feel bad? Daria slightly turned her head to hide her blushing face.
.
.
Just a few minutes later.
The place where Daria and Russell arrived was the conference hall located in the center of the royal palace.
A conference hall built on a large scale to accommodate not only high-ranking officials from each ministry but also great lords from nearby royal capitals.
It was a conference hall that was recognized as a noble of the capital and was visited several times as the rank rose.
However, today the atmosphere in the conference room was more solemn than usual. The atmosphere is not just heavy, but even gloomy.
Although Hecate ascended to the position of regent, was it judged that she did not yet have enough experience to overcome the great trials of war alone?
“Are you here?”
The king, who is said to have retired from the front line, was also seated at the head of the conference hall.
Hecate was sitting right next to the king.
“Lord of Flame Towers, Daria Snowwhite comes to see His Majesty the King.”
“Russell Raymond, a mage from the Flame Tower, meets with His Majesty the King.”
Following his teacher, Russell also bowed his head in accordance with the law and courtesy, and then Daria narrowed her eyes as she surveyed the atmosphere of the conference room.
“But Your Majesty, is something going on?”
It was natural for the atmosphere to become solemn during the war, but the atmosphere was even heavier than the meeting held yesterday.

Even she, the kingdom’s core force and the backbone of its power, did not expect—.
In other words, this was no different from saying that something happened in that short period of time from the Flame Tower to the conference hall.
In response to Daria’s question, the King let out a long sigh.
“Just a few minutes ago, I saw one in Kiel and flew in.”
It was clearly tragic news.
* * *
Kkwareung-!
The earth shook along with the thunderous force. The ground trembles violently as if an earthquake has occurred, and along with it, sharp rocks rise up randomly from the point where the huge shock wave hit.
War Hammer.
It was a shock wave created by Arex Kaylen, one of Endymion’s superhuman Auror practitioners, literally swinging his massive war hammer.
No matter how immortal the undead are, they will be nothing more than moths in the face of this level of destructive power.
but… … .
“Whoop, whoop-.”
What was holding him back right now wasn’t just the undead.
An archenemy, a superhuman who can be said to be the pride of Britannia.
And not just one, but two… … .
“You damn bastards!”
Areks gritted his teeth.
Each time, he wondered if it was stone dust, sand, or fragments of a broken tooth in his mouth.
Unknown things are chewing and making crunching sounds.
The large body, which looked like four adults stacked on top of each other, had already been stained with blood for a long time, and its skin and fur were scorched in various places, giving off a bad smell.
Moreover, the biggest wound of all was the stab wound that penetrated his left shoulder.
‘I only suffered a wound the size of a finger… … It’s hard to move your entire shoulder.’
It has to be that way.
Because what pierced his shoulder was not an ordinary blade, but a spear of lightning.
Perhaps the remnants of the electrical current are still eating away at my nerves and joints.
Coogggggggggg-.
As the sand dust slowly cleared, two men slowly emerged from among the shattered undead fragments.
An older man each holding a sword with both hands, and a handsome old man with a long white beard.
They were Ziabol Neagle, an Auror trainee belonging to the Empire, and Walter Piglet, who was said to be one of the elders of the Empire’s magic world.
Both of them are part of the new superhumans that the empire is proud of.
“Even after receiving such injuries, do you still have this much strength left? Indeed, the power of those Endymions is not something that can be ignored.”
Ziabol received Walter’s words.
“But you won’t be able to hold out for long, right? “Maybe thirty minutes at most.”
“joy. “If you thought you had won, you would have told me over and over again that letting your guard down was your weakness.”
“No problem.”
The two people chatted peacefully, as if they were okay with Arex in front of them.
It has to be that way.
Although Areks was superior in time and experience as a superhuman, his compatibility with the two people in front of him was not so good.
‘He’s a dual swordsman who uses quick swords and a wizard whose main skill is lightning magic… … .’
It is bound to be a mismatch with someone who chose power by reducing speed.
What’s worse, if it’s just one person, there are as many as two such partners.
‘We’ll have to retreat first.’
To do that, you must first shake off the enemies in front of you.
With his long experience, he could read the entire battlefield in an instant and held his war hammer tightly.
Well-trained speculation threatens to crush the entire area.
─────────Boom boom!!
The hammer in his hand begins to rotate menacingly.
The rotation that took place created a storm-like shape as the atmosphere rose up, and nearby rocks and sand dust rose up roughly, blocking the view.
It was an unbelievable sight that it had been created with pure physical force alone.
He is a superhuman because he can create such a scene.
However, the two men in front of Areks were also people who had stepped into the realm of superhumans.
“Are you going to try more?”
“Be persistent!”
Instead of being embarrassed, the two men immediately responded.
He crossed his twin swords in a t-shape to raise his spirits, and converted the magic pumped up from his heart into lightning and applied it to his fingers.
Pajjijijijiji-!
Meanwhile, the storm created by Arex reaches its peak, and the destructive power created by adding rotation to rotation is absorbed into the hammer!
Kwak-ga-ga-ga-gak!
Ziabol swung his dual swords.
A fast, fearsome slash that rushes in as if it will tear apart the storm!
The moment when two slashes tear apart a part of the storm, like the sharp fangs of an animal biting the back of the neck of its prey!
“now!”
With a signal, Walter lowered his hands.
The bright blue magic light that arose from the tip of the fingernail left traces of the fingernail in the air, and along its path, ten rays of lightning struck the torn apart storm.
It’s because it’s difficult to handle, but its destructive power is such that even fire attribute magic can be folded with one finger, such as lightning magic.
The bright blue lightning unique to lightning magic reaches Arex beyond the storm, and flashes!
Kwajijijijijijit-!
The moment when electricity roars through the storm.
“Aaaah!”
Areks roared like a bear.
Overcoming the pain of lightning magic, he struck the ground with a hammer full of centrifugal force.
───────────!!!!!!!!!!
The ground explodes before the sound, and the shock wave spreads in a fan shape.
The earth, pushed out by the impact, surged like a wave and swept the entire area indiscriminately.
Truly a miracle of great destruction!
Sand dust and stone dust flew around more violently than before, instantly blinding the view.
“Huh, are you planning to do a surprise attack after blocking the view?”
“Do your best!”
The two people, who had escaped the destruction, took their stances to prepare for the attack that would follow, and the sound of a horn was heard in their ears.
Pooh, pooh-ooh-.
The sound of a horn commanding the army to retreat.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo on.
A little while after that.
As the shaking subsided, the scene beyond the sand dust was clearly revealed.
“Retreat, retreat!”
“Beat the wire! “Reorganize!”
Soldiers retreating here and there to avoid the undead, and… … .
“her!”
“I took it out.”
Arex was no longer left in the land that had been horribly crushed by the hammer.
However, only a puddle of blood remained, vaporizing from the heat of the lightning, as if to show that his condition was not all that well.
Push shush shush -.

“This is the first item of the report that just came in.”
