Sovereign of the Ashes

Sein’s arrival immediately drew the attention of every Magus World powerhouse present.

To the two native Rank Four creatures of Eversurge, his overwhelming aura was a clear sign that this was a force they could not hope to withstand.

It did not matter that Sein had only recently advanced to Rank Four.

With the destructive potential of his Ashen Law, the deep reserves he had built up before his breakthrough, and the enhancement provided by the Faceless Mask, Sein was already a serious contender among Rank Four beings.

These two native Rank Four creatures, who had never once left their homeplane, knew nothing about the vastness of the Astral Realm or the terrifying might of the stronger civilizations beyond.

In that sense, this conquest by the Magus Civilization was also a rude awakening.

Once these creatures were captured and sold through the Magus Alliance’s market, they would come to understand just how insignificant they were and just how powerful their conquerors had been.

“Is that the apprentice of your junior you mentioned before? Looks like he’s a bit stronger than the other one in his generation,” Berecca, the grand master of the Order of the Green Bounty, remarked to Bernice via voice transmission.

Berecca had seen Sein once before, back during the Wild Gorilla World War.

But clearly, the high-ranking Rank Four knight had not paid much attention to the then-Rank Two mage. She had forgotten him entirely.

Now, standing before the masked Sein, even someone like her felt a subtle pressure radiating from him.

Since Sein was no longer a demigod on the verge of a breakthrough, the Faceless Mask no longer needed to suppress his energy anymore.
