All Across the Planet
Year 2852 | Month 1 | Day 9

Crimson glances in the direction of the newly designated Eternal Continents as he feels the device he created for the Undying Magician finally shatter. Meaning that the space magician of the former abandoned continents is finally deceased.

Marking the end of an era.

And what is no doubt going to be the beginning of a brand new era.

An era of the Undying Magician.

What Crimson finds even more interesting than any of this though is the fact that the Undying Magician slayed the space magician so quickly after Crimson detected the space magician’s reemergence in the material plane that he must have done it all on his own. Without any aid.

And if what Crimson sensed the moment the device shattered is to be believed, the space magician was strong enough to teleport an entire part of the material plane in to the void.

The area in-between the planes.

A place no mortal can survive. Much less escape from.

Not even the space magician would survive if he arrived there.

Although when Crimson checks his scrying spell to see the battle’s recording, since he did have it running even if he wasn’t watching until now, he finds that the space magician was already dead to rights by the time he activated the spell. Clearly as a last resort to take them both down together.

Until the Undying Magician revealed a brand new affinity.

“Out with the old, in with the new,” Crimson mutters with a faint grin at the sight of the birth of a new space magician in the old one’s place.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Chrono turns his attention in the direction of his successor’s continent. Where he senses a large swath of space having been ripped from the plane and dumped into the void. But when he sees that it was a battle his successor was participating in that dealt the blow to the area, he simply begins to watch a replay of what happened through his time magic.

And what he sees makes the Chrono’s lips quirk ever so slightly upwards. Intriguing the ouroboros in the process.

“Newssss on the Sssssuccessssssor?” the serpent asks while peeking his head out of the time-locked waters.

“The boy has claimed his spatial mana,” the Chrono declares, his voice echoing around the island.

The serpent closes his eyes for a moment before opening them again and declaring, “That he did.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adalwolf feels more than a little surprise as he stops flying in the direction of the space magician. Because he no longer senses the presence of the mark he’d recently placed on the magician’s body to track him during one of the doctor’s last expeditions to hunt in the war.

And on top of that, he senses the powerful mana fluctuations having vanished. Marking the death of the doctor.

The other Class S magicians of the Eternal Continents that were heading to the site of the battle all halt as well. With each one realizing the same thing one after another.

That the war is finally officially over.

Then, after a while passes in silence, the terminals of every Class S magician on the Eternal Continents begin to ring, along with the terminals of any Class A magician with power and influence over The Eternal Tower. And when they answer it, a message from the Undying Magician echoes throughout every single terminal.

“A meeting will be held in The Eternal Tower within my throne room in six hours.”

The message doesn’t give any further details, but none of the Class S magicians need any. Because they all know what it’ll be about.

And they all begin making their way over towards The Eternal Tower.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When one person arrives at The Eternal Tower’s throne room, he finds it completely barren. So he sits and waits in the room. Just standing near the dais holding the throne. And soon after him, one person after another arrives. With each one being of incredible importance to the Eternal Continents.

The surviving rulers of each state, the remaining Class S magicians of the Eternal Continents, the new staff who has moved to the Eternal Continents from other Magic Towers to work for the new Magic Tower. The Eternal Tower.

Even Adalwolf and Juan, two Class S magicians working as close allies to the Undying Magician arrive. Filling the hall down from the throne will people.

Eventually an entire three hours pass before every last person who was summoned arrives. At which point a bright flash of purple light shines from the throne along with a flare of spatial mana.

A flare that has a lot of the people in the room unaware of the doctor’s death turning towards it immediately while reaching for their weapons.

Only to freeze stiff when they see the Undying Magician simply sitting intimidatingly on his throne. All while radiating spatial mana on top of his usual fire and death mana.

Proving to everyone here that he is no longer just the only magician in the world to have two affinities.

He is now the only magician in the world to have three affinities at once.

A tri-affinity magician.

Silence spreads through the already relatively quiet hall in an instant. Meanwhile the rain outside continues beating down, filling the place with light mist mixed in with the candles burning lightly behind him.

Only for those candles to begin blazing as well thanks to the Undying Magician’s fire mana. With his glowing crimson eyes shining just as brightly as the candles.

“The doctor, Leodmir Archeron, has been slain by me,” the Undying Magician’s voice echoes throughout the silent hall amidst the sounds of crackling flames and the patter of rain on the tower walls. And several of the officials present quickly notice the drones recording and broadcasting the events in the throne room of the tower all across the Eternal Continent. “The war is now officially over.”

The silence of the hall grows even more deafening despite the crackling flames and the pattering rain. Meanwhile cheers resound all throughout the entirety of the Eternal Continents at the news of the evil doctor finally being dead.

The greatest boogieman of their days. Ever since the start of the war, when he would slaughter people by the masses during the war. And even after being defeated and vanishing, when he would appear and slaughter people before vanishing again.

All thanks to his space magic.

Magic that the Undying Magician is now using himself.

Even the dead king and the Fire Overlord of the Eternal Continents show faint hints of being impressed from the corners of the room they’re in. Along with the other Class S magicians in the hall.

Meanwhile Crimson finds the whole affair amusing from his own Magic Tower as he watches the Undying Magician through his blood scrying spell. And the Chrono watches on, seemingly indifferent without a change in his expression.

“I have been dealing with shit for years now, ever since I first became immortal and the doctor found me soon after,” the Undying Magician continues to speak. His voice spreading all across the continents, and even to other continents as people share the broadcast. “I learned how to cast spells, was treated as an experiment, learned how to fight. Then I did fight. And fought. And I fought some more. To the point that I for some time wondered if it would ever end. Whether it was when I was brought to the Kingdom of the Fallen and turned into a vampire.” His gaze turns towards the Dead King. “Or when I was fighting against the nobles of the Kingdom of the Fallen.” His gaze remains locked on the Dead King before finally breaking away as he indifferently leans back on his throne. “Even when I fought against the other nations for the kingdom. I never stopped wondering if it would ever end.”

Silence spreads across the world in every place currently watching the broadcast. With every last person watching waiting for his next words.

“And now? After trials and tribulations, I’ve found my answer,” the Undying Magician eventually continues before tapping his finger periodically on his throne’s arm rest. “I’ve dealt with all of those who have tried to use me as some experiment.” He stops tapping as his glowing eyes narrow dangerously. “Every last one.” His eyes return to normal again, no longer narrowed. “Now the doctor is dead. My last enemy. And I’m ready to finally live in peace again for the first time since becoming immortal.”

The Undying Magician shifts his head to rest it on the palm of his hand, with his elbow resting on the throne’s armrest as he asks, “What about you? Are you all ready for peace as well? For the end to the constant warring in the Eternal Continents? The constant threat opposed to the commonfolk? The non-magicians and magicians alike?”

Silence spreads through the throne room and the planet beyond from everyone watching the broadcast.

“I thought so,” the Undying Magician says with the faintest hint of a smile appearing on his face. “Then let us celebrate the end of the last era for the Eternal Continents, and hopefully the beginning of a new era. One of peace and development. Of trade and advancement between the Eternal Continents and the rest of the world.”

The atmosphere suddenly becomes strongly oppressed as the people in it feel fire, death, and spatial mana flood it like a storm. And while it isn’t enough to strongly bother the Class S magicians, it makes those weaker than them at least flinch or put up their own barriers to protect themselves.

“But if you shatter my peace, I won’t hesitate to return the favor,” the Undying Magician says while sitting up straight again. “No matter how long it takes, I will always repay shed blood. And when I do, I will be stronger than when the blood was shed. I will always be stronger. Do remember that.”

Then he vanishes in a flash of purple light as he teleports away from the throne room.

Leaving silence in his wake as the candles continue to burn without melting the wax they’re on.

Burning forevermore in The Eternal Tower as a reminder of the Undying Magician himself.
