Chapter 247: You Shall Not Pass (2)
As the sun was starting to rise in Grisa, the capital of the Lillian Kingdom, its border was put on alert because of the massive dust storm of unidentified origin rushing toward the capital. The thunderous noise, the rolling smoke, the shockwaves tearing across the plains—it all looked like magic, or perhaps like an unstoppable bull moving at an impossible speed.
To stop it, six-circle royal mages were deployed, and they cast seven-circle spells to completely stop the dust storm. They used the Dimensional Barrier, a supreme defensive spell that separated space from space itself, blocking all physical attacks.
However, the barrier didn’t actually do anything as the raging dust storm suddenly began to slow down on its own, then came to a halt right before the city gates. What they thought was a storm was actually people.
Keter looked refreshed, while Daat seemed exhausted, and Decameron was emotionless as usual. Behind them, the rest of their group was trying to catch their breath.
“Keter El Sefira, the bastard of Sefira...”
One of the royal mages who was floating in the air came down, calling Keter’s name. He was a middle-aged man and looked extremely strict.
“You have violated the strict laws of the kingdom. Sefira is not a family authorized to use magic. Therefore, I will arrest everyone involved, including the deputy patriarch of Sefira, Hissop.”
The person who stepped forward wasn’t Daat or Keter. It was Charcoal, the royal mage who followed Keter from the beginning to the end.
“You don’t know anything, Royal Mage Hamon.”
“...Royal Mage Charcoal, why are you with Sefira?”
“That’s... Phew, let me catch my breath first. I used magic to support myself, but running for an entire day is still hard.”
Splash!
