“What are you on about, crazy bastard?”
-Snap!
Adrian responded by snapping his fingers.
-Whoosh!
Then, as if drawing a line with a brush, a black shadow streaked across in front of Zerith’s eyes.
“Haaa?”
Prince Parma, not understanding the situation, expressed his confusion, but soon he felt a sharp sensation on his left shoulder…
-Phooof!
He saw that his arm was missing, with blood spurting from his shoulder where the arm should have been. He blinked with a dazed expression.
Then, as he realized the injury, an intense pain surged through him, and he screamed in agony.
“Aaaargh! I’m about to die! Aaaagh!”
A moment later, a giant eagle with wings spanning at least 2 meters appeared behind Adrian.
The eagle was massive, and it had the severed arm in its beak, with the Force Sword still attached to it.
“I spent 70 trillion loot to buy weapons this time, you know? I have a feeling I can pay it off soon. There’s Vanguard equipment scattered all over the place, and a sky fortress rolling in the backyard. Oh, is this your family’s treasure vault?”
“Ugh! Don’t tell me, is that your goal?”
“Ah, that too! For my revenge, and to earn money, killing two birds with one stone.”
As Adrian flicked his hand again, the black eagle soared high into the sky and disappeared.
Fearing that the eagle might attack again, the terrified prince clenched his buttocks.
Approaching him, Adrian tapped his cheek with the magic staff he was carrying and said, “Two ribs, one humerus, one carpal bone, and one tarsal bone.”
“Wha… what?”
“These are the bones that you broke.”
“…”
“Of course, if it were just fractures, I could endure them. I have strong patience. But you know without me saying, right? You mentally tormented me too much. Even I have my limits.”
As Adrian calmly spoke, a chilling coldness permeated Arcia’s expressionless face. She seemed ready to draw her sword at any moment. Adrian intervened and said, “I won’t let you die easily.”
“Uh… Mercy…”
Adrian smiled and used healing magic on Zerith, stopping the bleeding but not completely healing him.
He then approached the Knight Commander, who was retreating, and asked, “And the rest of you!?”
The Knight Commander nodded in response, “Shall I show you the way to the Lord’s office.”
“How Kind of you.”
About 30 minutes had passed since the battle with Parma Viscounty had concluded.
————————————
“My, MY. I had no idea there would be another visitor.”
Elfred, the information chief of the Bringum Empire and a 7th Circle Archmage, concealed within Parma’s ranks just before the battle, turned her head upon hearing a familiar voice.
[Huh! The Duchess Olivia Riverdale?]
Her gaze met with an unexpected figure standing before her.
Where her gaze landed, an unexpected giant stood—the core aristocrat of the Lucias Kingdom and the 2nd generation Archmage, ‘Duke Riverdale.’
“You’re head of intelligence of the Bringum Empire, Earl Elfred, right?”
With dazzling golden hair and bright yellow eyes, the Duchess of Riverdale, as striking as her hair color, was nothing short of gorgeous and could easily be mistaken for a celebrity.
However, Earl Elfred, with jet-black hair as striking as Olivia’s appearance, was equally beautiful, and people passing by could only marvel at the stunning figures of both.
“Ladies! War might break out soon, so please, take she—eek!”
An amiable middle-aged man approached the two, but upon the women vanishing like ghosts, he recoiled in shock.
[It seems our fate has intertwined!] Elfred remarked.
Olivia and Elfred used a Blink spell to change their location to the rooftop of a high-rise building.
Zzing!
The celestial Sky Fortress above sensed their magic and attempted a reconnaissance spell.
However, the detection spell recognized both women as sovereigns and returned to standby mode.
“You’re quite the experts.”
“You’re not so bad yourself.”
They praised each other for evading the celestial sky fortress’s surveillance, but soon squinted their eyes, expressing suspicion.
“Now that I think about it, Marquis Lawrence has joined the Riverdale family, right? Did you come to assist him for some reason?”
“No, that’s not the case. It’s unnecessary for our kingdom to intervene in a territorial war. We’d only bring dishonor to ourselves. But I suppose I can make the excuse that I came to offer support. What about you, Earl Elfred, head of intelligence of the Bringum Empire? What brings you here?”
“I found it interesting while watching the news.”
“Personal interest? Is that really it?”
“Yes.”
While the Bringum Empire and the Lucias Kingdom appeared to have a symbiotic relationship on the surface, given their extensive shared border, the potential for turning into enemies at any moment was always present.
Because of this, a tense mental battle unfolded between the two, sparking enough friction to feel like a spark was about to fly.
“Did you come to personally confirm whether Marquis Lawrence is really your father’s private disciple?”
“Don’t make baseless insinuations. He is our benefactor. Every piece of evidence Marquis Lawrence presented was undeniably authentic.”
A sharp question.
In reality, Olivia Riverdale, the Duchess, couldn’t entirely believe the fact that Adrian was her father’s disciple. Hence, she had come to witness the territorial war with a mix of curiosity and doubt.
However, since she showed no outward signs of skepticism, Earl Elfred couldn’t ascertain the truth.
Following that, Olivia launched a counterattack.
“The Kingdom of Reinharts and our Lucias are allies. If you have any thoughts of taking Marquis Lawrence to your empire, it would be wise to reconsider. We won’t just stand by and watch.”
“As I mentioned before, it’s a personal interest. Of course, I can’t deny the element of information gathering.”
As if reading each other’s thoughts, both precisely hit the key points.
“…”
“…”
Well, that didn’t take long…
Knowing that no matter how much they probed and countered, the other wouldn’t yield to what they wanted, the mental battle between the two quickly lost its vigor.
“Well, let’s leave it at that.”
“I agree. There’s no use growling at each other. It’ll only wear us out.”
A mental ceasefire was declared, and the two became conscious of each other without exchanging another word.
How much time had passed like that?
-Ziijijik!
The two archmages, sensitive to magical fluctuations, felt that spatial movement coordinates were being encoded in the Viscounty of Parma.
It was a ‘teleportation interference spell.’
A crucial tool on the modern battlefield to hinder enemy ambushes and escapes.
And the unfolding of this magic meant…
The beginning of the war.
“Over there?”
A moment later, they discovered a massive flying saucer (sky fortresses), gradually approaching the city of Parma from a distant place invisible to the human eye.
“He attacked right away without even giving his enemy a moment’s time.”
“No way? Is that Marquis Lawrence?”
“Huh, oh my….”
“Even if the situation is advantageous, to outpace your own vanguard and take unilateral action. It’s too reckless.”
“It looks like the woman next to him is his fiancée and the Aura Master, Countess Klein.”
Balancing dangerously on the rooftop railing, the two, using long-sight magic, exchanged not a conversation but a dialogue as if broadcasting the live situation.
When they first met, there were growls and now, they shared the same expression, fearing Adrian’s recklessness.
However.
“Huh?”
“Ah…”
Upon witnessing Adrian and Arcia single-handedly piercing through Viscounty’s defense line, overwhelming the enemy’s vanguards, the faces of Olivia Riverdale and Earl Elfred stiffened.
“What, what is that?”
“…”
To speak favorably, Adrian’s combat style was innovative; to speak critically, it was almost fanatical.
A mage engaging in close combat—such a sight had never been seen or heard of before.
