Chương 248: Midnight Ball (Part 1)
King Orcamp was walking back to his room so fast that his feet almost couldn't keep up. He was usually a very calm man, but right now, he was fuming. His face was red, and he was breathing heavily.
He slammed his study door open, marched inside, and drank a whole glass of water in one big gulp. Finally, he started to calm down.
His mind was racing, thinking about the incredible magic he had just seen Shirone use. It was called Ataraxia. It was so powerful it was scary. Orcamp remembered that Shirone's power came from an Archangel, a mighty angel from heaven. And he had heard there were seven more Arcangel just as strong!
A worried thought popped into his head. "Could even the mighty Valkyrie army stand against them?"
Then he shook his head and thought, 'Stop it. Don't think that far ahead. For now, this is good for me.'
He dreamed that if he could learn how to use Ataraxia himself, he could join "The Valkyrie," a group of the most powerful Magicians. He might even become one of the world's "Twelve Thrones," a title for one of the twelve most powerful monarchs. If he had that kind of power, everyone would have to recognize his kingdom, Kazura, as independent.
He was so lost in his daydream that he almost forgot he wasn't alone.
Orcamp: "Well? What do you think?"
A man named Arius stepped out from the shadows in the corner of the room. He was a strange and powerful mage. Today, he looked very serious and excited.
Arius: "It was truly remarkable. Ataraxia is an incredible ability."
Orcamp: "That's not what I'm asking. Can you copy it? Can you figure out how to do it?"
