In the Divine Light Kingdom, Krai and Rirui moved through the heart of the city, their eyes scanning the surroundings with sharp vigilance. Both were draped in heavy traveling cloaks, their hoods pulled low to mask their features. Beneath those shadows, no one could guess that a warrior of the elves—a woman of peerless beauty—was walking right among them.Every time they passed the grim displays of humans practicing slavery against the demi-human races, Rirui bit her lower lip so hard it bled."If only their powers weren't sealed," Rirui hissed, her voice dripping with pure vitriol. "The humans who enslave them would already be dead."Suddenly remembering she was in Krai’s presence, she quickly clamped her mouth shut. She looked away, fearful that her outburst might have provoked him."You’re right," Krai said quietly. "It is a hideous sight. They claim to uphold equality through their faith, yet they have long since abandoned their consciences."Rirui fell silent, surprised by his wo

Clink!A teleportation magic circle erupted directly beneath the feet of the slaves."What is happening?! Who’s casting magic?!" one of the slave owners barked, his voice cracking with sudden fear.In an instant, chaos swallowed the city. Panic rippled through the streets as slave owners desperately tried to command their property to scramble away from the glowing arrays. Because the master’s word was absolute, the slaves were forced to obey, dragging their broken bodies to avoid the agonizing constriction of the collars around their necks.High atop the city ramparts, Krai gazed down at the meticulously arranged rows of houses with a complicated expression."Behind the splendor of this city lies the endless suffering of the enslaved. It is an ironic truth I loathe to accept, yet I cannot deny its reality.""...Master, I have finished relocating the slaves.""Good work, Agnes.""Thank you, Master."..."Where am I? What happened?""Were we... teleported? By who? Is there actually some

"[Wind Magic: Hell’s Gale!]"A massive tornado manifested instantly, sweeping through the ranks of the C-rank monster horde, tearing them to shreds in a violent vortex."[Light Magic: Ray of Divine Judgment!]"In the sky above, thousands of luminous blades coalesced from pure mana, raining down upon the five B-rank monsters standing in the gale's path.As the residual mana began to flicker and fade, the scene revealed a grim landscape. Carcasses were piled high like mountains, and the scent of iron hung heavy in the air as monster blood flowed like a rising tide.Rirui stood frozen, her eyes wide as she witnessed the sheer scale of Evelyn’s light magic. A bitter smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she let out a despondent mutter."As expected of Lord Krai’s beloved... the gap between our power is simply too vast.""My, my~ thank you for the compliment."Evelyn appeared beside Rirui as if stepping out of thin air."Though you say that, you know this power was also a gift from the

This world is home to thousands of unsolved enigmas. Chief among them: where did the Chaos Masters vanish after their reign over the world met its end?Even now, long-lived beings—demons, elves, and spirits alike—still find themselves haunted by this mystery.While most have faded into history, a small, hidden vestige remains. These are the descendants of the retainers and companions who once served the Chaos Masters of old.What drives their obsession with the Chaos Masters' whereabouts? Naturally, it is the search for clues regarding their own lineage.It wasn't just the Chaos Masters who vanished without a trace; their ancestors disappeared as well, wiped from the world as if they had never existed to begin with.The disappearance of their forebears is undoubtedly linked to the Chaos Masters. It couldn't be anything else.And so, when the ruins of the Chaos Masters were finally unearthed, many of these descendants emerged from the shadows, driven by the hope of finding answers.Cur

A violent collision of powers erupted. Devastating waves of mana rippled outward, threatening to erase everything within their reach from existence.Krai suppressed the surging magical tides with nothing more than a sharp, cold stare. Beside him, Agnes remained perfectly composed, while Evelyn appeared slightly on edge."Master, if they aren't stopped soon, the aftershocks may affect the Ruins of the Chaos Master," Agnes reminded him with polite concern."I wouldn't want that," Krai replied simply."Shall I step in and stop them?""No. I’ll handle it myself."Flash!Dark energy coalesced into a dense mass within Duke Tei’s palm."Die—!!!"Simultaneously, a brilliant divine radiance enveloped the holy sword held by the High Elf."You're the one who shall perish!"Just as the two powers were about to collide in a cataclysmic boom, a black shadow flickered through the air, coming to a dead halt right between them.Both Duke Tei and the High Elf realized someone had intervened, but it was
