Episode 175
The emperor and the crown prince leave Altane Stadium.
We were left alone on the empty chessboard, so we sat down and said,
“… … “You almost got into a fight with all of the Templars.”
“But what was the crown prince thinking? “You tried to kill us, but now you let us live.”
The Crown Prince’s intention.
I said, wiping the sweat from my forehead.
“You didn’t help us.”
“sure?”
“I just didn’t want it taken away. If you tell me not to do something, I want to do it more. “He feels like a child who doesn’t want his ‘teddy bear’, which only he can play with, to be taken away by his younger cousin.”
“… … “He is a very unpredictable person.”
As a result, the crown prince’s
It is not wrong to say that we overcame a bigger crisis thanks to ‘obsession’.
“If we had fought, we would have lost, right?”
This question was not answered.
Of course, it would have been a difficult fight.
For a split second, I thought it might be worth a try.
Lord Bolvar and Monsieur Narmer. And Irene and Ruina don’t know… … .
To me, there are no ‘Skymountain Ogres’ who are comparable to the elite knights.
go.
Of course, even if we survived against the Templars.
Cleaning things up is the problem.
On that day, the Kingdom of Rhedian will become a sea of fire.
Even if the flames of the battlefield escape the entire kingdom, my hometown ‘Ar Del’ will have to shed countless blood.
When you think about just that point, it is true that you benefited from the crown prince.
“You perverted bastard. “Aren’t you completely psycho?”
I completely agree with what Strang said.
I benefited, but I did not owe anything.
Ultimately, all of these incidents started because of the crown prince’s ‘possessiveness’.
“I somehow got over this, but I don’t think there will be a next time.”
“Yes, that’s my opinion too. Today, I don’t know who the emperor is.”
“It seems clear that the crown prince already holds a significant portion of the power of the empire.
It was. “The crown prince let his guard down this time, but since today we have confirmed that our strength is not at ease, the next time will be even harsher.”
“What can we do?”
“… … “You have to be strong.”
I need to increase my strength more.
Ardel must become the most famous family on the continent.
So much so that not even the Empire can easily touch it.
Enough to stand up to even the crown prince’s sharp claws.
♦ ♦ ♦
Flame King Theron felt that his position was gradually decreasing as the crown prince’s influence grew.
He is still King Yeom, the owner of the Magic Tower.
Although he was called the ‘King of Wizards’.
“His Majesty the Crown Prince refused to serve alone.”
The uncomfortable air that spread throughout the palace was speaking.
You are no longer the Flame King of old.
All the power he had was at stake.
“It seems that due to the defeat of the Knights of the Apocalypse, the old knights have been removed from the first line. “They say it’s the same for wizards.”
“I heard that power is being reorganized according to the crown prince’s preference.”
“Why is this happening all of a sudden…” …
“It is said that King Yeom was out of sight of the Crown Prince.”
“There is an 8th class wizard in a small country.
“He showed up.”
“I heard it too. “You’re only 17, right?”
“There are many 8-star knights, but there is only one 8-class magician on the continent, the Flame King, right? Wait a minute, this is a much faster achievement than King Yeom, so what happens to the ‘throne’ occupied by King Yeom? “Shouldn’t the owner of the Magic Tower also change?”
“Shh. Don’t say that out loud for no reason. “What are you going to do if King Yeom hears?”
Uncomfortable gazes pouring towards you.
No, rumors.
The footless horse quickly spread throughout the empire.
Due to this incident, the rumor that Ruin Ardel rose to class 8 at the age of 17 spread throughout the empire.
At the same time, King Theron was in a situation where the ‘reputation’ he had built up over decades and the ‘power’ he had maintained for decades were being threatened.
“A new tower owner has appeared.”
“Is the tower owner really changing? “Then, who is the great border wizard?”
Wizard’s Tower.
This is not an institution of ‘state power’.
It is a power organization of ‘magicians’ that operates unrelated to the empire.
The wizard with the highest achievement on the entire continent becomes the owner of the ‘Magic Tower’.
Become the owner of the ‘throne’.

Until now, the wizard had been ‘Flame King Theron’.
If a wizard stronger and more talented than ‘Flame King Theron’ appears.
All the power he held is transferred to someone else.
King Yeom thought as he looked down at the capital city of Leverdain, which for the first time felt unfamiliar, like it was not his home.
Since when did it become like this?
It wasn’t like this at first.
Although the crown prince was a bit strange, he often followed him around, calling him ‘godfather’.
Schomertan was a clear candidate to become the next emperor, and he thought that he was the one who would provide wings to the crown prince’s back.
No, I also dreamed of greater power than just ‘wings’.
but.
Now, the wings are shattered.
“… … Ruin Ardel.”
Ever since that guy showed up.
It is from here that the back page of the history book titled ‘Flame King Theron’ is torn.
8 classes.
A state that was considered the realm of demigods, not humans.
He was a great ‘border wizard’ who could turn the entire Leverdine to ashes right now if he wanted to.
Now, the border area that was once ‘unique’ has become non-unique.
That ‘unique’ position was threatened.
To a 17 year old kid.
There must be only one sun in the world.
The most suitable for the crown prince’s desire to collect.
A brilliantly shining jewel must also be one.
As long as there are two suns, there are no history books for King Yeom in this land.
“Doom Prime.”
“… … Yes, tower owner.”
“What would it have been like if you had won against Ruin Ar Del in the Great Festival last year?”
“Would history have been different?”
He graduated at the top of his class at the Reinark Horseman Training School, but was pushed out by Ruin Ardel.
Another genius who missed out on winning the Grand Festival.
The magic swordsman, Doom Prime, was silent.
It was something he had imagined at one time, but now he has stopped even imagining it.
The gap has already widened far and wide.
“As expected, you are no fun.”
King Yeom snorted as if he had expected it.
His boring personality still remained.
“The tower owner will soon change. A new history book will unfold. that
So, why don’t you leave me?”
The atmosphere at the Magic Tower became chaotic.
This is because of rumors that the tower owner may change.
However, Doom Prime remains by the Flame King’s side until the end.
The same goes for when interest in Doom Prime waned with the appearance of Ruin Ardel.
He was called ‘Yeomwangbaragi’.
I was standing next to King Yeom.
Doom Prime opened his mouth after being silent for a long time.
“To me, ‘top owner’ is King Yeom. “There is only one.”
“… “okay?”
Flame King Theron laughed bitterly.
In this situation, the person who is by his side until the end is his former disciple who had lost interest in the appearance of Ruin Ardel.
What kind of ironic situation is this?
Theron said in a slightly playful voice.
“Then, go and kill Ruin Ardel.”
Killing Ruin Ardel.
This was impossible with Doom Prime’s current skills.
no.
Even if it was possible, it should not have been done.
There is no one who does not know that the crown prince has chosen him as his prey.
peel.
You must kill, but you must not kill.
It is a kind of inviolable sanctuary.
However, Doom Prime nodded.
“I’ll be back.”
Seeing his former student turning his back without hesitation, Flame King Theron smiled for the first time in a long time.
“Arthur. Just kidding. “It’s absolutely impossible with your skills.”
However, Doom Prime hesitated, as if he was disappointed.
King Yan’s eyes narrowed.
“It looks like you weren’t joking.”
“… … “If you need it, I’ll cut it for you.”
“With your skills? okay. You were pretty strong too, but only for people your age. Ruin Ardel is already far beyond his age level.”
“I know.”
“Still, you’re going to go? That’s such a soft feeling. If you are a wizard, you can change the world
Face your s*xuality coldly. “Because there is no longer a king to look after you.”
“If I come back, if I succeed… … . “Please look at me kindly then.”
In response to Doom Prime’s words, the Flame King spoke in a boring voice.
“… … “You are still living in the past.”
Doom Prime.
Sword family that produced sword masters
Adopted child of the Prime family.
This is the person who saw through his ‘talent’ while starving on the streets and allowed him to live as the ‘son’ of the Prime family, who were worried about having no children.
It was Flame King Theron.
“It is the life that King Yeom gave me, so it will be used as King Yeom wants.”
Doom Prime, who only wanted the love of the Flame King, was ready to repay the favor.
For a moment, King Yan’s eyes lit up.
“Are you sure it’s okay for me to use it as I wish?”
“yes.”
“Even if it is a path to death that one should not take?”
“I will go to hell.”
At Doom Prime’s serious words, Flame King Theron twitched the corners of his mouth as if he was amused for the first time in a while.
“It turns out that you can tell pretty funny jokes too.”
“… … Is that so.”
“I wish I had known sooner.”
At that moment, King Yan’s eyes glowed black.
“..!”
Doom Prime was startled and tried to take a step back.
The magician’s eyes glow black.
As a wizard, he knew better than anyone else what this meant.
What the world knew… … .
The great border wizard called a demigod must never be dealt with.
The fact that we are dealing with magic.
but.
“Do you regret it?”
“It’s already late.”
It’s too late to regret it.
The Flame King’s hand touched Doom Prime’s head.
“Kaaaaaaak!”
The 8th class wizard’s mind control spell was cast on Doom Prime.
But this is different from simple black magic.
The path seemed different.
The matte stone in King Yeom’s hand was giving off a musty smell, not of a human, but of a ‘demon’.
Material for making the ‘demon sword’ used by demons.
No, more fundamentally, it is the basis of the power that demons wield.
Ma Young-seok.
This Demon Youngseok was forcibly touching Doom Prime’s mana circle.
Doom Prime struggled in excruciating pain, but the more he struggled, the more he looked at the Flame King’s face.
turned red.
His face was so obsessed with jealousy that it almost looked like it wasn’t human.
He laughed.
Brighter than ever.
“Isn’t this the moment you’ve been longing for? So, smile. “Because this is the moment you truly become my ‘disciple.’”
Flame King Theron, who was called the ‘Border Wizard’, crossed the thin ‘border’ between humans and demons.
