After dealing with the Chairman and the aftermath of the battle, I quickly make my way back to the Undying Caverns with the two Class S magicians traveling alongside me. Meanwhile the other Class A magicians still at the base deal with everything back there. Including but not limited to collecting all of the documents and other stuff inside of said base and sealing the place off.
Especially after one of the Class A magicians decided to try poking at the spot that’s frozen in time, only to be frozen along with it. Likely forever. Seeing as no one has time magic to dispel that or alter it to free them. Except that one magician. The Chrono as Incendia described him.
There’s one thing that’s bothering me though as I fly back towards the Kingdom of the Fallen. That being the time magic in my own body.
It reacted to the Chrono’s time magic, and the area with time frozen.
Then again, I guess that makes sense. After all, it reacted to the doctor’s space magic. My own space magic I mean. So why wouldn’t my time magic react to someone else’s time magic?
It would be stranger if it didn’t.
Unfortunately, it didn’t react enough for me to do anything with it. So my time and space mana still remain unusable for me.
Which is a pity. But I at least know it’s possible to awaken both of them.
As long as the space and time magicians are still alive, that is.
Anyways, we continue flying all the way to the Undying Caverns even after entering the Kingdom of the Fallen. Only for us to be greeted by the sight of thousands of soldiers all arrayed outside of my Undying Caverns while kneeling towards us. Or towards me to be more specific.
I raise a brow while looking down at them from atop the platform of ice one of the Class S magicians made.
Looks like they already know of our victory against the Chairman. Which makes me wonder who spilled the beans.
My curiosity doesn’t last long though before I find Lilith already standing at the back of the army with a faint smile on her face and her daughter standing next to her. The woman no doubt having arrived long before us with her dark affinity to warn everyone of our arrival.
Then again, she could always just have called.
Regardless, all of the people down there begin to shout as one, “Welcome back, Your Highness! And congratulations on your successful hunt!”
The corner of my lips quirk upwards as the Class S magicians and I just float here on platforms made of ice. And after a brief pause, I go ahead and raise a single fist into the air without saying a word. Which immediately sets off cheers all throughout the soldiers.
Cheers at the sight of the war drawing closer and closer to a close. And at the loss of another powerful enemy.
My next enemy is also already set in stone in my mind. With that being the doctor.
Because there is no way I’m letting him die by someone else’s hands. Not to mention that I need him to unseal even the smallest sliver of my space mana. All to convert one of my mana arcs to space mana.
So at this point there’s nothing left standing in my way from targeting him.
While there is still the Collective Kingdoms left to fight with, it’s only a matter of time before they fall. What with it being them against the Kingdom of the Fallen, Natra, Hardlight, and the Republic at this point. With the other nations having already been completely eliminated.
Although normally the Republic would have been eliminated from the war as well and wouldn’t be able to help us. But they get a pass according to the skeleton because they pretty much turned the nation over to us before the Chairman even died.
And with all of those nations along with several Class S magicians targeting the Collective Kingdoms, it’s only a matter of time before the kingdoms fall. Leaving nothing but the Kingdom of the Fallen remaining.
Well, us and the allies we’ve made. But Natra made an agreement that they’ll join the Kingdom of the Fallen as an independently governing nation. Meaning they have full rights to govern themselves and the Kingdom of the Fallen can’t do anything to change their laws, but they are technically a part of the Kingdom of the Fallen.
As for Hardlight? They are now a part of the Kingdom of the Fallen. So they don’t really even exist anymore. They’re just part of our forces and territory.
And the same goes for the Republic.
Which technically includes all of the Class S magicians of the Republic. But only on paper. Seeing as none of them actually have to listen to our commands.
They’ll help us if they want.
It’s just that the Class S water magician here with me seems to be helping. Even after the battle ended.
I’m not entirely sure why.
Actually, the way all of the Republic magicians have been treating me ever since seeing that battle has been a little strange in general. Almost like they’re both revering me and afraid of me.
Was my little stunt about cutting off my own head and throwing it through the rift really that frightening to them?
Or maybe it was how my body broke through the boundary between the planes?
That might have been it.
Then again, it doesn’t really matter all that much why they’re treating me this way. I feel a little weird about the treatment since it’s drastically different from what I’m used to, but I’m not upset with it.
In fact, it feels good compared to the usual ‘experimental subject’ treatment I have always gotten from people after they’ve seen my powers at work.
I wonder if they’ve finally been frightened enough to stop messing with me?
That would be great.
