As Olivurn’s protective barrier shattered, the remnants of its mana dispersed, streaming as particles of light into the book held by Karyl. For a brief moment, the old tome seemed almost alive, a faint glow of energy pulsing through it.
Crack... Crackle...
The chill of the Freezing Talon seeped into Olivurn’s chest, freezing the area around his heart. Karyl didn’t remove the blade; instead, he gently laid Olivurn on the ground.
“You... You fucking...!!”
Belin Vallention’s voice shook with rage as he looked at the fallen emperor.
“Don’t interfere,” Karyl warned, turning his gaze toward him and exhaling slowly. “Sir Belin, you of all people should understand that this is no longer a battle bound by human limitations. The war between the empire and our free nation has already concluded.”
Silence fell over the hall.
Karyl had delivered his warning not as an arrogant victor, but rather with the solemn awareness that his struggle had transcended the realm of men. For him, Olivurn’s death merely meant crossing the threshold toward something far greater.
“We have yet to reach the final resolution,” he continued, directing everyone’s gaze toward Narh Di Maug, who stood silently among them.
“I see...” Narh Di Maug glanced at the book in Karyl’s hand with the faintest hint of amusement. “You’ve managed to defy my expectations yet again, human. The potential of your kind... It never fails to astonish. But tell me, Karyl, how did you come into possession of Polsetia?”
