Stepping onto the battlefield and fighting isn’t everything. When wizards engage in battles, sometimes the location doesn’t matter.

It varies depending on how deep a wizard has delved into knowledge and skill, and there was no need to mention the battles between sages and former sages.

Loo tightly entwined herself, solemnly contemplating the curse that was consuming her power along with Hayden’s power.

Whether she was fighting Melphyrous or the curse was shining more brightly. Those trapped behind the barriers must be ruthlessly exploited.

“Are you okay, Lady Ophelia?”

“I was going to ask that.”

Ophelia seemed to feel the same way.

“Well, it’s power I can’t use anyway.”

Loo understood the bitterness in her tone well.

“Shall we try using it now?”

Hayden responded, embracing Loo from behind. With her spine, hip joint, and legs completely broken, Loo found it difficult to sit without Hayden’s magical support.

Ophelia looked at Loo with a puzzled expression.

“That… well, I’m a selfish person too, but I do want to lift the curse quickly.”

Huh? Loo raised her head and looked at Ophelia.

“Leaving aside the curse, I’m worried about Genesis Yang’s physical condition.”

“It’s okay. Even though the ribs are more broken, I’ve already helped.”

“That’s quite a frightening sound, Genesis Yang…”

Ophelia, touching her forehead, shook her head. But around the three people, Hayden’s white light was already swirling menacingly, preparing to assist.

“When has Hayden ever been selective about helping? Why bring up such words now, Ophelia?”

Hayden, who had been comfortably adjusting Loo’s posture for a while, laughed as if amused.

“Well, considering what Hayden did today alone, isn’t that enough? I haven’t forgotten my duty as a young sage, Your Majesty.”

All sages have a duty to protect and teach young sages. Even Carlos grew up that way, and Hayden also learned from Sophia Clarice.

“Do you think you won’t be able to handle it?”

“No, today I was surprised that I didn’t feel much power, but it’s not me that’s important; it’s Genesis Yang’s condition that matters.”

Hayden, with Loo’s weight completely on him, looked up into the air.

“That’s also a valid point, but Loo will be fine. We should help someone who is not okay right now.”

At those words, Ophelia and Loo’s expressions changed.

“Is Melphyrous falling behind, Your Majesty?”

“Is the situation not good?”

The two were surprised and asked again.

“Let’s say the power of those killed by Carlos in the last 430 years is being put to good use. And Ophelia, including your power, we need to stop that for now. Go.”

At those words, Ophelia straightened up without saying a word.

“Imperial Ray?”

The Imperial Ray battalion commander, who was standing far away, shouted.

“We’re ready, Your Majesty!”

“What about the Western Army?”
Countess Plache, gripping the sword tightly, responded from her side.

“Just give the order.”

Loo, looking at her mother, smiled once more.

“This time, Ophelia, you have to do it yourself. Loo is just assisting.”

A small head near Hayden’s shoulders nodded vigorously.

“Shall we begin?”

The star in the western sky hanging on Ophelia’s waist began to sparkle.

The area near the sea is still frightening and noisy. People were quietly evacuating and running away.

Everyone realized that something was wrong. What does the emperor intend to do with the East? Abandon it? The East might become the land of rebels.

Those in the East followed Dragonlord, but those who saw the fierce fleet heading for the Mel River this morning couldn’t guarantee that Dragonlord would continue to protect the East.

“Uh…”

Amidst the chaos, there was a brave woman carrying three people in a carriage drawn by two calmly neighing horses. There was a murmuring sound behind her, but she didn’t turn around and silently drove the carriage.

“Click…”

Duke Negrete woke up unavoidably due to tremendous pain. His vision shook violently.

His body ached. Wet clothes were uncomfortable, the cold body temperature in contact was chilling, and when he realized that both hands and feet were completely tied, he became extremely uneasy.

He hoped that Mabu wouldn’t notice that he had awakened, so he tightly sealed his mouth.

‘Where is this? Where are we going?’

Since
Honestly, in a state where it is unclear who attacked him, he had to gather information at least. At that moment, he was suddenly pulled away, harshly.

Then, he faced the people who had already noticed that he had awakened.

“You can walk on your own now.”

Lady Godio nodded at the duke. The woman who had kidnapped the duke did not say anything and swiftly drew a dagger.

“No, Lady Godio?”

Duke Negrete, about to feel relieved, flinched at the approaching woman with a dagger and the two men holding him on either side.

“Lady, what is this…!”

But the woman, after cutting only the rope binding the duke’s ankles, stepped back without saying a word. Once again, the duke looked at Lady Godio. Could he relax now?

However, Lady Godio, without looking at Duke Negrete, expressed gratitude to the woman.
