ALICE, who was still unable to digest how this magical tree could exist in the palace's backyard, was immediately snapped when she suddenly found herself in front of the table separating Artemys and Monica. Not yet had he shown his shock, Xavier's voice had already invaded his head. And Alice could only return stunned by the situation.
Meanwhile, the perpetrator who had deceptively teleported Alice unannounced was standing still on the roof of the palace in Cornnas. He had just spoken to Jenny about Artemys' departure. Xavier soon disappears and appears right between Achilles and Menez who are watching the fight between Evillia and Gilbert, Cleria, Emily, and Edelweiss—fifth fight in Edelweiss's barier creation.
Emily is already stronger, Xavier's inner seeing Emily turn her body into lightning—it seems like she has focused on strengthening herself after her defeat at Menez's hands.
“I didn't think Queen Evillia was that strong. He could face all four commanders at once without receiving many injuries. Menez, are you ya—”
If not for his excellent self-control, Achilles would have been surprised to see the sudden presence of others.
“—Commander Xavier.”
“Sister Xavier, you've arrived. What the hell's going on? I can't feel the air of your presence.”
Xavier did not look at the two people on either side; his eyes did not move from the fight inside the barrier. At this point, Cleria was the weakest of the four – commanders to lose her peri making Cleria's combat power normal. If it wasn't for Edelweiss healing them constantly, he might have been dead by now. Reinhart would be sad if that happened.
But Edelweiss is more skilled than I thought.
Edelweiss only had [Healing Magic], [Barrier Magic], and [Rune Magic]. However, the way he uses all of them is very effective and brilliant. Especially [Healing Magic]. This was the first time Xavier had seen [Healing Magic] being used to attack. Only Edelweiss managed to wound Evillia.
“Nueva has died at the hands of Edward Penumbra who turned out to be Lucifer,” Xavier said without looking at the two men beside him. “I've killed Lucifer. I'm stronger because of that. No one can sense my existence without me being convinced, even with [Sensory Magic] though. But telling me that's not why I'm here.”
“...I know my father won't survive, but I don't think Edward did. I'm being pity.” Achilles sighed softly. “Menez has said you need me. Let me guess, you want to rule the Islan and want me to be your prime minister?”
“...I'm not surprised.”
“Good. Prepare yourself. After I speak with the five warring people, we will pay a visit to the Desert Kingdom and Caligula Kingdom. We will form a new empire in the midst of the ongoing war. But you don't have to worry, I have the same intentions as you.”
Xavier instantly disappeared from where he stood and reappeared right between Evillia and the four commanders who attacked simultaneously. Both of his hands were raised lulifying their attacks.
“Earthing,” said Xavier at a time when others were surprised by his sudden presence. “As the new emperor of Vermillion Empire and Islan as a whole, I give you two options. To the commanders, will you serve me as a new emperor or oppose? And as for the queen of the elves, are you going to be my subordinate or an enemy? Please selected. You guys have one minute. I've already killed Emperor Nueva, so make sure you think before choosing.”
...—In the meantime, In A Dimension—...
Scattered earth debris filled the chaotic dimensional space. There were so many arenas that had already been destroyed, but there were still many left. Fie was in one of those arenas, maybe this is the hundredth arena so he punched. The reason, every arena was smashed apart after receiving some shock effects that his punch and Vermyna lay.
“Is it just like this when your [Anti Magic] is no longer useful?” vermyna asked who had just landed a dozen meters in front of the nephalem.
Fie could not deny when Vermyna said that her [Anti-Magic] was useless. Because, right now his [Anti Magic] was indeed unable to overcome something that was level above Supreme Magic. Being nephalem made his [Anti-Magic] significantly weakened, so it was no longer automatic. If he returned to being a nephilim, perhaps [Anti Magic] would be able to withstand Vermyna's power.
However, being a nephilim while in the presence of an opponent of Vermyna's caliber was a fatal mistake. Moreover, his opponent could use life energy. It will be finished quickly.
I indeed had to use the [Magic Reactor], the nephalem's inner self as it ran from its kneeling position on one leg. My physical strength is still superior, but I can't destroy that body.— can only give him pain.
[Magic Reactor] was Fie's main force as a nephalem. He can create any magic with it. Supreme Magic is not an exception. It's like the [Ruler of Heaven], but it's far superior. It's just, Fie can't hold much magic. Maximum he could only create two magic at the same time. Fie did not have the [Magic Container] to hold all the magic that [Magic Reactor] created.
Therefore, even though Fie could create all of Supreme Magic, he could not put it all together into him. He cannot be the same creature as Edenia even though the potential is there. And that was also the reason why he was not trying to obtain Supreme Magic. Because, if he had one of the Supreme Magic, his fighting options were reduced.
“I'll show you the difference between us,” Fie said as he let out a white blaze from the right hand—and the left hand let out a blaze of black energy [Complete Annihilation]. “You said I was just a fake anomaly creature, an imitation creature? I'll show you the difference to an ancient creature like you.”
Fie did not wait for Vermyna's reply, in an instant he was right in front of the opponent.
