The Dome of the Chairman’s Base
Year 2851 | Month 3 | Day 23

The Chairman has always been an arrogant man. He has always won every one on one battle he has ever entered, has always succeeded at everything he has done, and was born with one of the most powerful affinities.

It’s made him believe he’s close to being a perfect magician.

Which made it incredibly difficult for him to believe his own family when they tried to force him to work for the benefit of the Republic. Because his power should be used for himself and not the Republic.

And while a part of him believed he should just ignore them and do as he pleased – meaning killing them and moving on – another part decided that the best revenge he could get on them was to twist their logic around on them. To become the absolute ruler of the Republic and make what’s best for the Republic into what’s best for him.

Artorius genuinely thought it would be easy for him to achieve his goals. Because that’s just how things always go for him.

But then the doctor got in his way. And after him it was the other nations, and the other Class S magicians.

One after another, everything began to go wrong.

And now? As another blade from the blasted immortal pierces straight through his back and out his front? Just barely missing his heart in the process.

This brat…

The boy has been infuriating him ever since he appeared within the base. In nearly every way imaginable.

The apathetic look on the boy’s face, the indifference towards the Chairman himself, and the way the others sent him into the base seemingly confident he could beat the Chairman. Then the way the boy managed to actually wound him. And how he wouldn’t stop attacking no matter how many times Artorius sent him flying or destroyed his weapons.

And even though the Chairman knows why he is upset with him, he refuses to accept it.

Because the Chairman is absolute. And he will not let himself be defeated by a little boy barely over half his age.

So without hesitation, he finishes his spell and creates thousands of missiles made of pure anti-magic mana that slam into the ice one in a massive bombardment. Shattering the ice into pieces and letting the rift once again begin drawing everything nearby into it.

And the two closest things to the rift are Artorius himself along with the boy.

Artorius feels glee as he gets sucked into the anti-magic mana plane along with the so-called Undying Magician. Because he feels absolutely certain that the boy’s immortality will be stopped by the sheer amount of anti-magic mana inside of the plane.

After all, no magic can be used inside of the plane unless it’s anti-magic.

And even if the boy somehow manages to still not die in it, there isn’t a way for him to get out. So he’ll be stuck living forever inside of the anti-magic plane.

But Artorius’s glee is short-lived when he feels something piercing into his neck. And out of the corner of his eye, he sees the boy with his fangs digging straight through his shoulder using a gap in his armor made by the boy’s swords earlier in the battle.

That’s not all though as the boy grabs onto Artorius with both of his arms and his sword still stabbing straight through Artorius’s center. Not giving Artorius the chance to take the blade out and coat the wound in mana.

“Get off of me, boy!” Artorius roars, his voice echoing through the endless expanse of anti-magic mana.

To his surprise though, the boy actually does jump off of him. And he still doesn’t look like he’s showing any signs of pain or discomfort. Even though Artorius hurt the boy was pinning him in place.

Even the wounds he had are still closing. Clearing showing that his immortality works perfectly fine even in the anti-magic plane somehow.

But more importantly, for some reason Artorius finds the boy cutting off his own head with a knife he got from some storage device and throwing his head straight through the rift. Right after Artorius begins to close the rift.

Letting the head fly through the rift on its own before the rift closes.

Artorius feels more confused than ever even as his vision begins to fade from all the many wounds he’s collected in the battle. Wounds he is sure at this point must be fatal.

Did he just… kill himself? Or… what?

The Chairman isn’t sure what the boy just did. Especially since he sees the head on his body not growing back.

That is, until the boy’s corpse begins to vibrate along with the space around it. Following which the corpse turns into a blur and moves straight through the plane and slams into an invisible wall. Shattering the wall like glass and revealing the mortal world outside of the plane.

Artorius’s jaw drops as he watches the body reattach to a head that he can see just rolling on the ground outside of the rift.

Returning the immortal boy to perfect health again even as the rift stays open.

And Artorius’s vision continues to go dark.

Are you… kidding… me…

His thoughts come to a halt when his heart finally gives out, and he takes his last breath.

The Dome of the Chairman’s Base
Year 2851 | Month 3 | Day 23
Right after the two entered the rift

Archibald Winters feels shocked after seeing the two enter the rift into the anti-magic mana plane. And a part of him wonders if the battle is now hopeless. Because the Chairman should be able to escape if his wounds don’t kill him.

But that fear goes away when he sees the Undying Magician latching onto the Chairman and digging his fangs into the Class S magician’s shoulder. Following which the man roars out his anger and the rift begins to show signs of closing on its own.

Now Archibald only feels a minor anxiety at the thought of their ally being stuck in the anti-mana plane forever. Since he is certain there isn’t another anti-magic magician within the entire world.

And that worry grows even stronger the closer the rift gets to closing.

Only to turn into confusion when he sees a head suddenly flying out of the rift to slam into the ground right before the rift fully closes.

Huh?

Archibald blinks in confusion before sharing a glance with an equally confused Katherine. But when he turns back to the head again, he sees the thing trembling along with the space around it.

Then something shocking happens in the form of another rift suddenly breaking open right in front of them before the Undying Magician’s body flies through it and meets with the head. Following which he watches the body and head reattach like nothing happened.

Archibald feels his jaw dropping in both shock and awe. And he notices the expressions of several of the people nearby turning grim as they realize just how immortal the Undying Magician truly is.

So immortal that not even the anti-magic mana flooding the anti-magic mana plane can stop his regeneration. Not even a barrier between planes in fact.

After a few seconds of staring, Archibald and the others turn back towards the rift to find two new things to note.

The first being good news in the form of the Chairman’s eyes closing and his heart stopping beating, signifying his death.

And the second?

The fact that the rift isn’t closing, leading to a flood of anti-magic mana entering the mortal plane.

Shit…

He and the other magicians nearby immediately begin to worry again.

How are we going to deal with this?!
