Chapter 323: 15 year old Inglis and the Prisma Battle (1)
Arlman city, near the east wall—
A faint rainbow-colored haze spread over the area as a group of Magic Stone Beasts, the Prisma’s minions, approached. The moment people came into contact with the haze, they began to turn into Magic Stone Beasts. The Prisma intercepting force that was stationed in the city was about to experience a huge upheaval even before the battle started.
The same was true for the select team who came from the Knight Academy, led by Principal Miliera. Maurice, a second-year, was suddenly transformed into a Magic Stone Beast.
「E-, even Maurice turned! This is absurd, Principal! What does he mean by Prism Powder?!」
Silva, clearly dismayed, demanded an answer from Miliera.
「I heard it was some kind of secret medicine possessed by members of the Ironblood Chain Brigade… It has an effect similar to Prism Flow that, when given to animals, it can turn them into Magic Stone Beasts, and in larger doses, even Highlanders will turn!」
「——! So, Maurice was a mole for…?!」
「Indeed. In retrospect, the brigade had a better grasp of the movements within the royal castle than we did, and there were hints that they had informants lurking in places! They even managed to rope in Leon the Holy Knight… Perhaps it’s no surprise they have people within the academy! But, see what’s happening before you! It’s possible that Prism Powder has some effects on the transformation!」
Even Miliera had never heard of a phenomenon where a human being turned into a Magic Stone Beast. Maurice mentioned the Prism Powder being hot before he turned, but that might not be the only cause. Something reacted to the Prism Powder.
