Leon took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

What is the harmony of elements?

In his mind, the summoned creatures of the four elements of Arpina were dancing.

Fire, water, wind, earth.

An organic and cyclical balance of the four elements.

Fire is destructive, but it regenerates life through the earth, water is soft and flexible, and wind brings change and renewal.

Each has its own unique nature and power, but they become more powerful when they interact with each other, and they are so closely connected that when everything is in harmony, true perfection is achieved.

‘Perfect balance… … .’

The meaning flashed through my mind.

Facts I already knew felt very new.

I had a small epiphany.

‘The properties of wood, electricity, light, and darkness are no exception.’

Leon opened his eyes and turned his palm over.

Then a magic circle was formed and the energies of the elements flowed out in harmony.

Leon realized that he had reached the absolute beginner level.

The number of threads of will has increased to nine, and nine-stage chanting has become possible.

If you have enough magical power, you can cast magic.

There was no need to worry about the amount of magical power, as I would increase my level by taking elixirs again.

‘Now, all you have to do is hone your secret magic.’

The two-star magic of Glorious Lightning was Lightning and Lightning.

From 3rd star, you can use secret magic.

Normally there would be at least one movement magic, but since it was a magic specialized for attack, there was only secret magic.

Leon continued to practice without stopping.

There was a lot of work piling up.

Not only the Lightning of Glory, but also the B+ grade plant magic ‘Manbap’ had to be entered into 1st rank quickly.

I had to learn the secrets of creation and gradually master the art of creating golems.

The art of creating golems was somewhat similar to the art of potion making.

It was a skill that had to be learned through trial and error.

Leon would only go back to reality when he needed an elixir, and would practice careful magic control for ten hours while completing quests and then return to the orb.

I spent 100 days in the jewel.

In reality, it had not even been a month.

Leon raised his palm in the forest inside the jewel.

“Hit it.”

Dark clouds slowly gathered in the sky and then dispersed in an instant.

The magic has not been manifested.

“Whew… … This is difficult.”

As expected, it was impossible to reach the beginner level of secret arts within 4 months.

“You’re probably the only greedy guy who wants to learn the secret magic in 4 months.”

Kito was mumbling next to me.

After Kito returned, Leon was able to know each other’s whereabouts through the servant horse contract.

It was possible to convey one’s intentions alone.

“Because I was only obsessed with this.”

Leon answered with a regretful voice.

Neither the ten thousand leaves nor the secrets of creation were touched.

“I know. But even for the most talented person, it would take several years, and at your current pace, it’s obvious you’ll finish it in less than a year. There’s no reason to rush, right?”

Leon’s regret subsided at Kito’s words.

It was true that I was impatient because I had done too much work at Rare.

“I have to do some real-life training again. … … What should I do about the training room?”

“I don’t understand.”

Kito sat on Leon’s shoulder.

The fluttering wings tickled the back of Leon’s head.

She knew everything about the situation, except that Leon was possessed.

Being a servant horse meant that Leon could no longer do dangerous things, so it didn’t matter if he found out everything.

I already knew about the jewel.

“Why do you want to stay in Widia?”

“Um… ….”

“If you were still an apprentice, you wouldn’t be saying this, but now that you’re a high-ranking wizard, why keep hiding it like this and be restricted?”

Leon thought about that too.

But when he first became a magician, he felt unstable and came back thinking that he couldn’t make Leah think that he was dead.

After that, he caught the attention of the top leader and became his personal disciple.

“If it weren’t for Widia, wouldn’t the fact that your attribute changed be resolved? Rather, if it were somewhere else, they wouldn’t even know that your attribute changed, so they would try to treat you with the utmost respect. ”

“I don’t become strong to receive extreme treatment.”

“Then why do you want to become stronger?”

Leon remembered how he felt when he first wanted to learn magic.

After I was able to walk on two legs, I wanted to travel all over this continent and became fascinated by the mystery of magic itself.

What will we discover if we dig deep into the end?

What lies at the end of the magic called the source?

And the conditions that must naturally come first to achieve the above two goals.

We had to survive in this world overflowing with power inflation.

After encountering Porn who was trying to take Leon’s life in Widia, the idea that he had to become stronger in order to survive became stronger.

It’s become the top priority now.

Leon told Kito honestly, leaving out the first reason.

“You were born a wizard. But even now, you still can’t seem to recall a sense of belonging. It’s the sense of responsibility to protect your people.”

There was a bitter look on Kito’s face as he said those words.

Leon stared at her intently, and she mumbled.

“The people of Widia are not you. … … Anyway, how about cooling off your head? It seems like you’ve been here for quite some time. ”

Leon assumed it was the same reason he couldn’t say anything, and pretended not to know.

“I was thinking about that anyway. I haven’t been out of the training room for a long time.”

Leon, who came out of the jewel, returned to his private room.

After catching up on some sleep, Leon took out a history book he had borrowed from the central library.

It seemed like something I needed to know in order to use the brilliance of creation.

And it was just as I was opening the book.

Ku-kung-

The ground shook.

It was a powerful vibration that literally shook the earth.

The shock felt like it was shaking the entire city.

Leon sat up abruptly.

As we left our private room, we came into view of the defensive barrier surrounding the entire city.

And then I saw a huge black chain piercing through one of them.

It looked as if it had a weapon that giants used.

High-grade artifact.

But that wasn’t the point.

The chain was stuck in the ground, collapsing the building right in front of Leon.

The building directly in front of Leon’s private room was the residence of the entrance residents.

There are also children from orphanages like Leon living there.

“Uh… … ?”

The building completely collapsed.

‘The people inside are… …?’

Besides, this was the time when the residents of the entrance were finishing their work hours.

As Leon stared blankly, the crack that started at the point where the chain was pierced grew wider and wider until it eventually shattered into pieces.

Passus-

The movements of the wizards belonging to Widia, who were busy flying in the sky, became faster.

At the same time, a huge flow of magical power was felt.

Leon turned his gaze.

Outside the city gates the sky was dark.

It was a very strange sight to see the sky darkening exactly from outside the main gate, as if a line had been drawn from the main gate.

Under that sky, the silhouette of a man wearing a robe was visible, very small.

A huge amount of magical power was gathering in front of him.

And the clear sky over the city gradually became dark as dark clouds gathered.

Kururung-

It was quite different from the darkness outside the main gate.

Suddenly, Rydra appeared in front of the robed man.

A similar flow of magical power was felt around Raidra.

Something black rose from the ground in front of the robed man.

It was a huge figure large enough to reach the man floating in the sky.

It had three heads, each of which was simply round, without any particular shape.

And on its head were countless eyeballs.

The torso had things like human arms sticking out, or animal tails and wings hanging out in a jumble.

And the whole body was made of mucus.

It was a hybrid monster that made you vomit just by looking at it.

Soon rain began to fall from the sky covered with dark clouds.

The wind picked up and a storm was brewing.

At the same time, countless lightning strikes struck the monster.

Kwakwang- Kwakwang-

The lightning struck continuously, but the monster did not move at all.

I couldn’t even tell if there was a hit or not.

“Leon!”

Leon turned his head at the familiar voice coming from his ear.

It was Leah.

She came over to him urgently and grabbed his arm.

“All the academy students and disciples are gathered here now. You have to go there.”

Leon wondered if there was a separate shelter.

But as we crossed the main street and headed towards the back, we saw people gathered together as if they were ready to leave.

Individual disciples, general disciples, academy students, etc.

All the young wizards were gathered together.

And four mysterious-class magicians, including Arpina, were leading them.

Arpina watched Leon coming and then opened her mouth.

“Get out of Widia right now.”

‘You’re running away?’

As Leon realized that the situation was more serious than he thought, one of the students spoke up.

There was a student who had a displeased expression on his face while waiting.

“Can’t we fight back too?”

Arpina immediately shook her head.

As if there was a reason to leave.

“If you fight, there’s only death. Especially you. Other high-ranking wizards will block this place, so we’ll leave right away.”

“… Is this an opponent you can’t beat?”

“… .”

She didn’t answer his words, but turned her gaze towards the city gate.

It seemed like he was watching the fight between Lydra and the robed man.

Even after a long time, there was no answer.

As if that was the answer in itself, several students bit their lips and made angry faces.

Arpina turned away from that face and quickly approached the other mystic magicians.

Arpina gave the subspace pouch to Deke, a mid-level mystic wizard.

“It contains the Tower Lord’s token and his items. You have it.”

Arpina raised her palm without even waiting for an answer.

Then, the bodies of the numerous people gathered there floated into the air.

Leon was among the regular disciples along with Leah.

It seems that even the ordinary disciples joined because they were judged to be out of their element.

It was fortunate that I didn’t throw it away as useless.

Leon suddenly noticed one of their faces.

It was Aaron.

After Leon became the Tower Master’s disciple, he was the man who had always avoided him, knowingly or unknowingly.

His face was different from other ordinary disciples.

Although he had a nervous expression on his face, it was different from the anxious feeling of the other ordinary disciples.

Leon, who always kept a distance from Aaron and was on guard, noticed this.

And that was strangely jarring.
