Marvel's Magic Master

"I don't know if Julius's hidden second personality is good or bad, and what purpose the Time Demon has in parasitizing Julius's body. I just feel that it can't be a good thing."

Seeing Julius, Yami, and Lumiel return to the capital, they prepare to capture Patri.

George didn't follow, but instead began to ponder.

"Forget it, we'll just find out everything by searching their souls when the time comes."

He felt that instead of guessing here, it would be better to wait until he had dealt with the Word Demon and then directly confront Julius by capturing the Time Demon within him and searching his soul.

Simple, straightforward, and requires no brainpower.

In any case, according to his observation, the Time Demon, although the highest-ranking demon and one of the three pillars, is far more powerful than the Word Demon.

But it will most likely not withstand being ganged up on by everyone.

Whether it's good or bad, and what conspiracies or tricks are involved, will become clear at a glance.

Only when you can't defeat the enemy head-on do you need to use your brain to win by surprise.

If you completely overwhelm your opponent, then just push them without thinking.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry too much about whether the Time Demon is plotting some terrible conspiracy, just like the Word Demon.

After half an hour.

Finral opened a portal, and William Vankins, wearing a half-mask, followed Julius, Yami, and Lumiel to the Black Bulls' base.

"What important matter could possibly require you to come to Yomi's base?"

Having just received an urgent message from Julius, he rushed from the Golden Dawn's base to the palace as quickly as possible.

However, Julius did not tell him what the urgent matter was, but instead, along with Yami and an unfamiliar mage, took him to the Black Bulls' base.

They said you'd find out when you got there.

"William, do you know them?"

Julius pointed to all the members of the Three Eyes and the Night Eyes, who were sealed by light magic, and William Van's golden expression froze.

He removed the mask that covered half of his face with a curse, and the mask quickly began to change.

First, the curse inherited from his mother's family on half of his face quickly faded away; second, his hairstyle and mage robes also changed.

Finally, that originally gentle temperament suddenly turned sharp.

"Richter!"

Lumiel was momentarily stunned when he saw William's changed appearance.

Because at this moment, William really looked exactly like the Elf Chieftain Richter.

"The seal is lifted!"

Having forcibly taken control of the body, Patri quickly flew to take control, and the magic power within him surged to a level close to Julius's.

"Light Magic - Sword of Divine Punishment!"

Countless lightsabers instantly filled the entire sky, shooting towards Julius and all the Black Bulls members.

With Victor and the others arrested, and given that he himself had been specially invited, Patrick knew perfectly well that his identity had been exposed.

He dared not be careless in the slightest when facing the current Magic Emperor, Julius.

So he used his strongest attack right from the start, even if it couldn't kill Julius and Yami in one blow.

That would also temporarily hold them off, giving him a chance to rescue Witt and the main members of the White Night Eye and escape from here.

"How can it be!"

However, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, the unfamiliar mage who had come with Yami transformed into a giant dragon.

The dragon opened its mouth and swallowed all of its most powerful light magic, capable of destroying a city.

"Dragon Slayer Mages are the nemesis of mages of the same attribute."

Seeing this, George, standing among the crowd, smiled and shook his head.

Unless there is a significant difference in strength, mages using magic of the same element will generally be easily defeated when they encounter a Dragon Slayer mage.

Patri uses light magic, as does Lumiel, and Lumiel is inherently much stronger than Patri.

So even if Patri unleashed an attack at the level of a Magic Emperor, it would only replenish Lumiel's energy in her dragon form.

"Time Binding Magic: Stop Time!"

Julius, amazed by Lumiel's transformation, was quick to react and sealed Patriel with time magic before Patriel could even react to his strongest magic.

Next up was George.

He stepped forward and slapped Patley's soul out of William Vankins' body.

At this moment, Lumiel also returned to human form and deactivated her transformation.

"Patley, this is actually a misunderstanding."

Lumiel was about to step forward and explain the whole story, but before she could even open her mouth, she was met with a barrage of questions from Patley:
"It's you, you damn... beep beep beep."

"Luckily, it's a soul."

George, standing to the side, secretly chuckled as he watched Lumière stare in disbelief.

If Patri wasn't a spirit at this moment, Lumiel would probably be covered in spittle.

It is clear how much Patri hates Lumière.

After Patley finished venting, Lumière gently recounted the truth once again.

Of course, like Patri and Witt, they didn't believe a word Lumière said.

Meanwhile, Julius was also interrogating William Vankins.

William looked at Patley, who had been separated from his body, sighed, and told him everything he knew without hiding anything.

“I am a sinner of the kingdom, and I am willing to accept any punishment, even death.”

It turns out that William Vankins was the illegitimate son of a great nobleman. He was separated from his family since childhood and was found when he was eight years old because the nobleman had no heir.

However, due to the curse of her mother's family, the upper half of her face was covered by an ugly curse, which led to her being viciously abused by her stepmother.

He didn't have a true and only friend until Patley's soul awakened within him.

After obtaining the four-leaf clover grimoire at the age of fifteen, he encountered the current Magic Emperor, Julius.

Julius gave him a mask that could conceal the curse and recruited him into his magic knight order.

From that moment on, he vowed to build the most powerful magic knight order to help Julius and repay Julius's kindness.

Unfortunately, his best friend Patley was going to fight the Magic Emperor and the Clover Kingdom.

On one side is his best and most important friend, and on the other is the respected Magic Emperor and the kingdom he must protect.

This put him in a dilemma, and in the end he could only become a quail and let nature take its course.

"No matter the reason, you have betrayed the kingdom. Fortunately, Yami and his team discovered and resolved the problem in advance, preventing too much damage."

Julius first gave a stern reprimand, then smiled and said:

"So you must make up for this mistake, help Yami and the others deal with the aftermath, and work even harder to protect the kingdom in the future."

"Boss, you're being way too biased towards this guy. He's made such a big mistake and there's been no punishment."

Yami hugged his former most reliable teammate and complained to his former guild leader.

William's eyes instantly reddened, and he raised his hand to solemnly swear an oath to Julius.

"Of course there will be a punishment. William will be fined half a year's salary, and then the Black Bulls Knights will be given as a reward."

Julius touched his chin.

Yami immediately burst into laughter: "That's more like it!"

By the way, starting today, our knightly order will no longer be called the Black Bulls, but the Black Tyrannosaurus Rex.

For the Golden Dawn, a knightly order whose members are almost entirely nobles, the wages of the knights are of no concern whatsoever.

Their monthly allowance is equivalent to several years' salary for the Knights.

However, it's a different story for knightly orders like the Black Bulls, which are mostly not composed of nobles; for them, money is truly the only source of income.

Especially those like Yami who enjoy drinking, smoking, and gambling.

Basically, my salary runs out very quickly after I receive it.

Although he was the leader of the kingdom's nine most powerful knightly orders, he was also quite poor. William's six months' salary was just enough to tide him over.

"No need to explain, Richter will understand naturally after he is resurrected."

George turned his gaze back to Lumiel, who was still patiently explaining to Patley. He went up, patted him on the shoulder, and reached out to capture Patley's soul in his hand.

"If we were lying to you, there would be no need to explain so much now; we could just seal the souls of your elven race."

So you don't need to doubt anything anymore. We will resurrect Richter and destroy the Word Demon. You just need to watch to know the truth.

Patley fell silent upon hearing George's words.

Because that's indeed the case. If the previous plan was to lure him out, it was to save the humans who were possessed by the elves.

Now that the other party has captured him, they can use special magic to expel the elf's soul from the human body, so why bother deceiving them?
On the other side, Julius watched as George so casually controlled Patley's soul, a fleeting look of surprise in his eyes.

As a mage who is extremely fond of studying magic, he can see how exquisite George's control over magic is.

Even he couldn't compare.

Moreover, neither the power of dragons nor the magic that manipulates souls is something an ordinary fifteen-year-old mage can master.

But the clever man didn't delve into it; it was clear that George was on the side of the Clover Kingdom.

He also trusted Yami's judgment.

Of course, I should have a good chat with this person about magic if I have the chance; I'm sure I'll gain a lot from it.

Thinking of this, a bright smile appeared on his face.

He was always overjoyed to see a new kind of magic appear; studying magic was his greatest hobby.

"Yami, don't let anyone else know about this for now. Take your team to the underwater temple and the witch's forest and get those two magic stones."

I went to Fagraine to borrow his magic stone, and William went to Yuno to get the last magic stone.

Once all the magic stones are gathered and the spirit's soul is separated, then a plan to destroy the Word-Spell Demon will be devised.

The Clover Kingdom is not a monolithic entity, especially the current king, who has always been resentful of the Magic Emperor's excessive power.

He always wanted to reclaim the power of the Magic Emperor and become the true king who controlled the entire country.

However, he himself is an incompetent fool and nothing to fear.

However, if the king were to learn that many of the Magic Knights were possessed by elves, and that the leader of the Golden Dawn was the leader of the Night Demon Eyes...

It's inevitable that they will collude with some nobles to cause trouble.

This will certainly have an impact on the stability of the Clover Kingdom, and may especially affect innocent civilians and commoners.

In addition, the Diamond Kingdom has always been eyeing the country covetously, and the Spade Kingdom is shrouded in layers of mystery, with demons within stirring up trouble.

Therefore, it is best to eliminate the Word Demon secretly without alerting others.

When the time comes, the story will be that demons invaded the kingdom, and the Magic Emperor, leading the nine knight orders, slayed the demons, thwarted their plot, and protected the kingdom.

This not only solved the problem but also enhanced the prestige of the Magic Knights, leaving the king and the restless nobles speechless.

"no problem!"

William and Yami nodded simultaneously.

As for George, after learning that he didn't need to help the Knights' mages separate the spirit souls for the time being, he took the magic stones he had obtained and went to study them.

There are ten magic stones in total. One was found in Sosi Village, and five were collected from the White Night Demon Eye Base.

We're still short four pieces.

The location of these four pieces had already been investigated by the White Night Demon Eye.

The Undersea Temple has one piece, the Witch Forest has one piece, the leader of the Crimson Lions has one piece, and Yuno, Asta's good brother from the orphanage, also has one piece.

However, none of them knew the true function of the magic stone; they simply wore it around their necks as an ornament.

According to Julius's plan, he should be able to collect all the magic stones soon, and with the help of ten magic stones, he can replicate most of the laws of this world.

The next day, Yami secretly led some of her team members to the underwater temple, while the rest went to the Witch's Forest with Lumiel.

As for George, he was naturally researching magic stones at the base. His purpose in using the power of dragons to enhance the Black Bulls' strength was precisely for this.

The Black Bulls can handle anything themselves, so he can focus on his research.

A week later, Yami and Lumiel returned safely with their team, bringing back the two magic stones.

The process wasn't entirely smooth, but thanks to the team members' formidable strength, Yami and Lumiel didn't even have to lift a finger to resolve the situation.

As for the two magic stones belonging to Fagraine and Yuno, Julius and William had already delivered them a few days ago.

All ten magic stones have been collected.

That afternoon, Julius found an excuse to gather all nine knightly orders together.

"The reason I have summoned you here today is because there is a mission that concerns the safety of the entire kingdom and even all of humanity, and it requires everyone's joint efforts to complete."

Upon hearing the Magic Emperor's serious words, all the captains and mages present, except for Yami and William, were in an uproar.

There is only one event in history that has affected the safety of all humankind.

That was the Demon God Crisis more than 500 years ago.

Finally, the first Magic Emperor paid the ultimate price to defeat the demon god.

And now, there's even a crisis involving all of humanity, yet how come they haven't noticed at all?

"Quiet, here's what happened."

Julius recounted the truth behind the great war between the first Magic Emperor and the Demon God five hundred years ago, as well as the entire plan of the Word-Power Demon.

These truths struck like a thunderbolt, leaving all the mages present utterly astonished.

The demon god is actually the chieftain of the elves. Everything is a conspiracy by the demon of words. The souls of the elves are still hidden within them and will be possessed by the souls of the elves.

The thought of the tragic fate that would befall the kingdom and humanity if the Demon of Words' plan succeeded sent chills down their spines.

Fortunately, all of this was seen through by a brave and resourceful young man.

He rescued the first Magic Emperor who was sealed away and found the Elf race who had been deceived by the Word Demon.

They also created a special magic that could successfully separate the souls of elves, giving us sufficient protection.

He is George, a new recruit of the Black Tyrannosaurus Rex this year, from the village of Sosi outside Huiwai.

Next, he will separate the elven souls hidden within your bodies.

Julius pointed his finger at George, who was standing next to Yomi.

He was committed to creating a future without classes, so naturally he wouldn't let such a great opportunity slip by.

What could be more compelling for nobles to set aside class prejudices than the story of a commoner born outside of Huiwai who saved the entire kingdom and humanity?

Just like how he promoted Jack, who came from a common background, and Yami, who came from abroad, to be the captains of the group.
