Chapter 305
The imperial palace, covered in pulsating darkness, and above it, in the sky, was a sharp, scar-shaped rift, just like back then. It was the world’s rift, the scar itself.
Roina silently gazed at that sight.
“Lutan, after we stop Ryuhyeon, there’s something I really want to talk about.”
“……Is that so? It’s a coincidence that I feel the same way.”
Roina smiled at Lutan. Even after regaining all her power, there was an existence that she couldn’t help but feel nervous about. That was the existence of Ryuhyeon. He was threatening this world again, after transcending a thousand years.
“Right now, Ryuhyeon is off guard. It’s the moment when the thousand-year contract is about to be fulfilled, so it’s only natural. He’s trying to manifest here by sacrificing everything in this empire and devouring the world. Just like back then.”
Roina swallowed hard. Everyone said they would help, but she couldn’t be certain. It was true that they were far weaker compared to Ryuhyeon, to the point that he could completely ignore them. But she couldn’t give up.
“Let’s go, let’s go and show him that this isn’t the end.”
Lutan nodded. He was no longer in the body of the Golden Dragon, but in the human body with its energy. In that case, he wouldn’t be able to exert the same power as before. But he only acted composed.
Roina and Lutan floated into the air together, facing the imperial palace. At that moment, a voice was heard.
“Finally, you’ve come here. Roina, Lutan.”
It was Ryuhyeon, disguised in the body of the crown prince. His pupils were purple, not his original blue. Roina’s body stiffened with tension.
“Ryuhyeon…! Just why, why won’t you give up? What benefit is there for you?”
“Benefit? Why wouldn’t there be a benefit when this world and you become mine? I told you. Soon, we will become one.”
Ryuhyeon smiled. Roina felt chills at his smile and involuntarily took a step back. But she couldn’t back down here. Everyone’s fate depended on her and Lutan.
Roina and Lutan gestured to each other and cast magic to bind Ryuhyeon.
“How foolish. You should know that you can’t do anything by holding onto my shell, right? And, Roina, you must know that you also need the crown prince’s body, don’t you?”
“No, I won’t be bound by the contract you created arbitrarily. I’m going to drive you out of that body.”
As soon as Roina finished speaking, magic circles rose from all over the place, binding the crown prince’s body, just as Roina and Lutan had done. It wasn’t to restrain him, but to take away the control of that body from Ryuhyeon.
And the humans hiding in the capital, whom Ryuhyeon had ignored, moved according to Roina’s words from within the Amasto mansion, achieving this result.
“Kuh…! You’ve been scheming well.”
Ryuhyeon gasped for breath in the crown prince’s body. He couldn’t even move, as everyone’s magic intertwined.
“You probably thought I would try to block the world’s rift. I took a hint from that and targeted the crown prince. Because, in fact, the medium that allows you to manifest in this world is none other than the crown prince. Isn’t that right?”
“How dare you… How dare you notice that fact. Ha!”
Ryuhyeon scoffed and spoke.
However, it was still insufficient, and the scholar who had asked the question further clarified his doubts. It was their nature to delve into any point of doubt until it was resolved.
“I was called a person with the talent of the stars, and I recently regained my true power. That is why these memories have also returned.”
“So, the first Grand Magician who existed since before the founding of the empire was actually…”
