168: New Realization (2)

“These bastards and their tricks!”

Siegfried raised his mana to the peak in order to release the shackles which were holding him.

The space fluctuated responding to him, but the shackles didn’t move.

It wasn’t magic suppressing the mana. If that was the case, the space shaking wouldn’t have even occurred.

Still, he couldn’t break them.

‘What is this?’

Even if he was a Great Magician, he was still young.

There was a lot of magic he hadn’t witnessed so he didn’t know of the sealing type.

Even so, he was a Great Magician and his opponents were 5th and 6th class magicians. Maybe give them credit and consider it as two 6th class magicians.

There was a wall between the 6th class and 7th class which wasn’t narrow. Even if the two used their best, they couldn’t take on a 7th class.

“Must be flustered, Principal.”

Siegfried looked at Javelin.

He could see the evil intention from the smiling face and this only made him more annoyed.

Serpent mocked Siegfried.

“The only thing you can do is look at us like that? Hahaha! If you are a genius you should use your brain!”

“Damned old man…”

“Uh-huh. You will never understand it. Right. If it was just me and him, we wouldn’t have been able to create such a situation. But…”

Serpent grinned.

“In this world, if you look for a way to neutralize one Great Magician, there are plenty of ways! And it is your fault for rushing in without any tricks! Puahaha!”

Javelin and Serpent really did assume the worst situation and dealt with it.

Even in the situation where the elders of the Magic world could be involved.

A powerful sealing magic which immobilizes Great Magician Siegfried.

Perhaps, maybe against the 1st and 2nd elder too.

They must have thought of ample plans to deal with them all.

With a smile, Javelin said,

“Huhu. Even the most famous Siegfried wouldn’t have expected this.”

“This is the problem with geniuses. You always believe that anything is possible with your own abilities. Funny people! Look at you now! Kuahaha!”

Serpent’s eyes gleamed in madness.

“Kuak.”

Siegfried struggled to escape from it, but the more he did, the stronger it became.

“It is a sealing art which is hard to find in that mysterious nation beyond the East. Solving it will be difficult.”

“Damned bastards.”

“Your mouth is still alive, 7th elder.”

“3rd elder… Do you think everything will work out?”

“Looks pretty fine to me.”

Serpent smiled, revealing his yellow teeth.

Siegfried asked Jamie.

“Young lord, what about you? I don’t think you are sealed.”

“They are messing with the mana.”

Siegfried frowned so Jamie showed the grey marble.

“They prepared a lot.”

“How long will it take to solve that?”

“Well…”

Siegfried couldn’t answer.

It was impossible for him to determine the structure of the sealing art.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t do it.

He just didn’t know what this mysterious nation this was from, but the ones who used it were magicians below 6th class.

If he had time, he could try and get out.

“Can you hold one?”

Jamie stared at Siegfried and then lowered his head slightly and spoke.

A blind spot where the lips couldn’t be seen from their position.

It was a spot where Siegfried alone could understand it.

“… will you be alright?”

“I think so.”

“Now, now. enough chatting. The Principal…”

Javelin snapped his fingers.

Darkness began to emerge from the air and began to wrap around Siegfried.

“I hope you get some rest.”

Siegfried yelled through his clenched teeth, not liking the situation.

“Bastard. Once I am out, I will definitely kill you! I swear on my soul!”

And with that, Siegfried disappeared.

Javelin smiled at it.

“When the most dangerous one disappears, I feel more at ease.”

Jamie who listened spoke to Javelin.

“You must know that it is impossible to keep elder Siegfried tied with such a sealing art.”

“We can buy time. And in that time… our plans will be finished.”

“Fufu. It isn’t like we care for kids, Welton’s child.”

“You dirty old man. Apophis was found because you couldn’t break through the 7th class wall, right?”

Serpent smiled but it was terrifying, as if Jamie hit the right spot.

“Do you want to have your chances of growing up cut off because of that mouth of yours?”

Normally, Jamie would have said something back, but now he decided to stay still.

This man was a crazy one.

“But, what do we do now?”

Javelin adjusted his glasses and walked around Jamie.

“The remaining seals are to be used on the elders who might intervene, and they are simple seals which can be used on you, but I am afraid of the repercussions of killing him.”

If Jamie is killed, the Welton family known for the best swordsmanship and the Bell family, one of the most powerful in the Seldam kingdom would become enemies to the 3rd elder.

And there will be more enemies in the future, but these two families were too huge.

And there was a high chance that they would halt their future plans. But to release Jamie was like asking for the same result.

“Can’t we just erase his memory?”

“We are saving you because of your background. Lucky little boy.”

Jamie sighed watching the two of them act all high and mighty in front of him.

“Why are you sighing?”

“Are you the one who made a contract with the demon?”

“Even in this situation you are digging for information?”

“A foolish old man blinded by greed made a contract with the demon, then the demon would have taken his heart. And the eyes turned black a little earlier, they were yours.”

“This child… let’s hear it.”

As Serpent approached Jamie ready to hit him, Javelin stopped him.

“Don’t.”

“… you want to put up with his insults?”

“It will be a real headache if you harm him.”

“Erase his memory. Then you can manipulate the memory as if he was injured.”

“Not possible. Don’t look down on him, Great Magician.”

As Javelin said that, Serpent frowned.

To him, who hadn’t yet mastered his magical realization, the word Great Magician was a repulsion.

He glared at Javelin and clicked his tongue as he turned around. Just looking at the child was hurting his pride.

‘This bastard really.’

He was sure.

Javelin was the one who made a contract with demons.

Seeing Serpent walk back, Javelin smiled at Jamie.

“Right. I am the contractor.”

“You are truly mad.”

“Think of it that way.”

“What are you up to? Judging from how meticulous it is, it seems that equality of talent isn’t your goal.”

“Haha. That is something to coax the world.”

Javelin smiled and looked at Jamie.

“Seems like you locked the space. Seeing that no one came despite the commotion.”

“Right. So, wouldn’t that help in Jamie’s questions being answered?”

The space they were in was isolated from the outside world.

If not for it, the teachers at Phoenix academy are of high quality and it seems like this was done to deceive the eyes of others.

There was little chance of being helped from outside.

“Well. Mr. Jamie. You might be a genius, but as long as this grey marble exists, neither magic nor sword can be used.”

“We had to be prepared, so we have carefully prepared ourselves to deal with any situation.”

Jamie closed his eyes at Serpent’s whisper.

“Let me ask you one last thing.”

“Do you think I will answer?”

“Clear up my doubts.”

“Ugh. Maybe I should listen to the question first?”

“Are you planning to make even the Demon King descend?”

He asked.

If Apophis wasn’t made for equality, then what was it made for?

First, Serpent would be hoping to expand his control.

And Serpent doesn’t care about people. He was nothing but a selfish human trash.

Being such a simple minded person, it was clear that he joined hands with a demon.

Then… What about the Demon contractor?

Was Apophis a medicine for the demons too?

‘No.’

There is only one thing they want.

‘Character’ unity.

Apophis is a drug which affects the mana core. And the effect will spread to the entire body, it would be more accurate to say that they would wish for all humans to take this, and rule over Apophis.

And if all humans begin to consume it, the human core will be amplified and that would make excellent sacrifices for the demons.

“Is it not?”

Javelin didn’t answer.

He just smiled.

“Well, I don’t think it will happen so soon. But I am looking forward to it.”

And the Magic world is the start.

And then they would leave this. And they’ll go to a new place and conduct this all over again.

To not be caught by anyone.

Even if they found out, they had to leave the Magic World first. So they prepare for the dangerous situations from scratch.

“Wicked bastard.”

“The current situation is quite nice for us.”

Because the world is concentrating on Zenith.

Even if their identity is discovered, there will be fewer pursuers than they expect.

For Javelin, the present world is the best to achieve his purpose.

“Quite interesting. Hold on longer.”

Javelin reached out to Jamie’s head.

He could feel the sleep magic entering his mind.

“But…”

At the moment that darkness was spreading.

“Isolation, are you sure?”

Jamie’s eyes turned purple.

“You… what is this power?!”

“Javelin get away!”

“Too late.”

They tried to block all the interference they could and prepared for all types of scenarios.

The problem was that Jamie had reincarnated.

A reincarnation of a dark magician who was as strong as the 12 Gods!

“You were too close to me.”

The grey marble controlled the mana, but it couldn’t control the black mana which he created in the Shadow World.

<Eat it!>

A huge, sharp snout protruded from the darkness and bit the upper body of Javelin.

Being close, he reacted quickly, but Leviathan’s power far exceeded his expectations.

Javelin mumbled with a distorted face.

“This..”

Blood and flesh splattered in all directions.

Javelin was hit by a single blow and the most terrifying one.

Serpent couldn’t control his expressions at the vicious sight.

With a shocked face he mumbled.

“Y-You… are a dark magician?!”

“You never thought of this possibility, right?”

The purple eyes which flickered in darkness.

“I will make you cough everything out and then kill you.”

Terrifying fear began to encroach the entire space they isolated.
