Marvel's Magic Master

Seeing that everyone present was staring at him with disbelief on their faces, George smiled and stepped forward, waving his hand.

He knew Julius's purpose, of course, but since it wouldn't do him any harm, he simply went along with it.

"How could a mere commoner possess such powerful magical abilities?"

"His magic seems very weak, could there be a mistake?"

"Judging from his appearance, he must have just obtained the magic book recently. How come I've never heard of him before?"

While observing George, the mages of the Magic Knights began to whisper among themselves.

Even though it came from the Magic Emperor, they still didn't believe that a boy who looked so young and had such low magic power could do so much and uncover the Demon of Words' conspiracy.

Over the years, under the subtle influence of the Magic Emperor, the noble mages who have been cultivated have reduced their discrimination against commoners and lower classes to a great extent.

Furthermore, with Jack and Yami, both non-noble captains, their strength is indeed convincing.

Therefore, if they are truly powerful commoners and lower-class citizens, most noble mages, except for a few extreme nobles, would not find them unacceptable.

However, George didn't seem like a particularly talented mage to them at all.

If you said it was Yuno, the commoner whom the Golden Dawn had taken in, then they would be somewhat more inclined to believe it.

After all, Yuno possessed the same four-leaf clover grimoire as the first Magic Emperor, and was selected by all nine captains during the selection process.

“It was indeed George who rescued me from the seal, and his expertise in magical research is something even I am ashamed of.”

Just then, the first Magic Emperor, Lumiel, entered from the side hall with Sekorei.

Upon seeing Lumiel's appearance, the mages below gasped in surprise once again.

Although the current Magic Emperor has just told them that George has lifted the seal of the first Magic Emperor.

But when they actually saw the first Magic Emperor himself appear, they were still taken aback.

At this moment, Julius nodded to George, who then stepped forward to stand before Langiers Bird, the vice-commander of the Golden Dawn.

Langiers Byrd belonged to a small minority of more extreme nobles who were extremely discriminatory towards commoners and the lower classes.

Furthermore, since George was from his brother's Black Bulls crew, a look of disgust immediately appeared on his face when he saw George approaching.

"You lowly commoner, what do you want to do?"

“You have the soul of an elf inside you, and I will help you separate it.”

George raised an eyebrow.

"How could I not know that there is another soul within me? You lowly commoner, what methods did you use to deceive the Magic Emperor?"

Before Langiers could finish speaking, George slapped him across the face.

"How dare you attack me!"

Langiers' expression immediately changed, and a black spatial sphere appeared beside him, smashing directly towards George.

If an ordinary mage were hit by that black spatial sphere, they would be severely injured even if they didn't die.

However, just as the black space sphere was about to touch George's body, an invisible membrane suddenly appeared on George's body surface.

The black spatial sphere vanished instantly upon encountering the invisible membrane, as if it had never existed.

This thin film is a new type of magical defense barrier that George created by studying the anti-magic properties of the Asta Slayer Sword.

It consumes very little magic power when used, almost negligible, but the effect is incredibly good.

All energy attacks with magical effects will automatically disappear upon contact with this anti-magic membrane, reverting to the most basic magical particles.

"force."

George imbued his right hand with power magic and slammed it hard into the face of the incredulous Langiers.

"boom!"

Langier was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the right wall of the main hall and losing consciousness.

"It's done."

George clapped his hands, and a somewhat bewildered elven soul rose from Langiers's body, whose face was swollen like a steamed bun and whose teeth were half missing.

"There really is an elf's soul!"

The mages present were all amazed that George, with such low magical power, could instantly defeat the vice-captain mage, whose strength was second only to the captain.

Meanwhile, they watched with a mixture of fear and trepidation as the elven souls emanated from Langiers.

At this moment, they completely believed everything the Magic Emperor said, and were also very glad that the Word Demon's conspiracy had been discovered in advance.

Otherwise, they might be possessed by elves without even realizing it, and watch helplessly as the elves use their bodies to destroy the kingdom, their loved ones, and their friends.

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

"Mimosa, go and treat Langiers."

The leader of the Golden Dawn did not blame George for knocking out his vice-leader. He simply instructed the female mage in charge of healing in the guild to give Langris a simple treatment.

After sealing the elf's soul with the bottle, George approached another female mage from Golden Dawn.

The female mage immediately covered her face:
"Is it only by slapping its face that the elf's soul can be separated?"

"No, I just don't like him."

George shrugged, gently patted the female mage's chest, and separated her elven soul.

Upon hearing this, the other mages, though some harbored slight dissatisfaction, dared not utter another word.

After believing the Magic Emperor's words, most mages felt grateful to George and thought that Langris deserved to be beaten.

In this way, George separated them one by one, and soon he had almost finished screening all nine knightly orders.

Among them, four were at the regimental commander level and were possessed.

However, just as George reached the last mage named Ronnie, an unexpected incident occurred.

"Blade Storm!"

Ronnie opened his mouth, and a solid steel sword suddenly appeared above George's head, launching a silent sneak attack.

Clearly, he intended to kill George, who was capable of separating the souls of elves, on the spot.

This scene caught everyone off guard, and naturally, no one had time to react.

However, George was not among these people:
"We noticed your problem a long time ago, otherwise we wouldn't have chosen you to be the last one."

George smirked, and a spatial portal appeared above his head, taking all the physical steel swords inside.

"Silent and silent!"

Ronnie, who was preparing to launch a second attack, discovered that George had taken away his ability to speak.

"Snapped!"

George punched Ronnie in the chest, and two illusory souls were sent flying out of Ronnie's body.

One of them, with ears characteristic of elves, was none other than Bauer, the elf who had originally possessed Ronnie.

The other one was entirely black, with two demon horns on its head; it was a fragment of the Word Spirit Demon's soul.

It turns out that before the Word Demon was sealed by Secore with magic stones, a wisp of its soul had already been separated and left outside.

That's how he was able to continue his conspiracy, guiding Patri to complete the reincarnation magic, completely unsealing his original body, and summoning him to the human world. He just hadn't expected that his plan would be seen through by this unknown George, who actually possessed the magic to separate elf souls.

To avoid being discovered and to prevent his plans from being ruined, the Word Demon planned to ambush and kill George when he was splitting the human mage he controlled.

"open!"

Instead of sealing the demon directly, George opened the bottle and released the souls of all the elves.

This allowed them and the mages of the nine great knight orders to witness firsthand the existence of the Word Demon.

At the same time, Bauer also told all the elves about how he had been controlled by the Word Demon.

So you were the real murderer all along!

Patri looked at the wisp of the Word Demon's soul in the air, his face filled with rage, and roared with the soul of many elves, ready to take revenge.

When the demon realized that his scheme had been exposed, he immediately turned into a cloud of black smoke and tried to escape.

"Come back!"

George pointed the bottle at the Word Demon and cast a sealing spell, forcibly sealing a wisp of the Word Demon's soul into the bottle.

After everything had settled down, Patri led the elves to Lumiel and said with a face full of remorse:
"I'm sorry, we misunderstood you!"

“You were just deceived by him, and if I hadn’t been ambushed that day and hadn’t arrived in time, you wouldn’t have been killed.”

Lumiel did not blame the elves at all.

After receiving Lumiel's forgiveness, Patriel led the elves to apologize to the possessed human mage and thank George for helping them capture the Word Demon.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let's move on to the next step of the plan."

Julius was surprised to find that he had captured the hidden demonic spirit fragment, which brought the elves to the side of humanity.

So they immediately ordered the reformed Night Demon Eye Mages to bring out the human mage bodies they had recently cloned.

The Three Mystic Eyes were captured, and they learned of Patri's true purpose from the deceived Byakugan Mystic Eyes mages.

Most of them chose to surrender and rejoined the ranks of mages in the Clover Kingdom, under the direct command and management of the Magic Emperor.

This included Sally, the magical scientist who created the replica of William.

A small number of those who harbored extreme hatred towards the kingdom were directly imprisoned.

During the few days that Yami and Lumiel split up to retrieve the magic stone, George provided some helpful knowledge.

Sally quickly created physical replicas of the human mages who were possessed by elves.

"George, thank you for your help!"

After the clone was brought up, Julius looked at George.

To allow the elf's soul to perfectly enter the clone and completely resurrect, George's soul magic is still needed.

George didn't care and with one hand, he slapped all the elven souls into the clone's body.

Due to the influence of the spirit's soul, the appearance of the clone and the human mage on the other side also underwent some subtle changes.

At the same time, their ears rapidly grew longer, transforming into the distinctive pointed elf ears.

"What a horrible guy."

The human mages who watched George effortlessly place the elven soul into the clone all reached a consensus.

Although George doesn't possess great magical power, he is proficient in many special spells, whether it's the vice-captain level spell from Langris or the sneak attack spell from the demon.

They were all easily defeated by his negligible magic.

Furthermore, they can manipulate other people's souls at will, whether by separating them from the body or putting them into the body, which is a terrifying ability.

They even thought that in a one-on-one fight, even a captain-level expert might not be able to defeat George.

"Okay, now we're going to complete the last step."

Open the Shadow Palace, use the magic stone to revive the Elf Chieftain, and completely kill the Word Demon to prevent him from causing disaster in the human world in the future.

Do you have any opinions?

Seeing that all the elves had been resurrected, Julius announced the final battle plan.

The mages of the nine great knight orders all raised their hands, performed a special knightly salute, and loudly replied:
"I am willing to obey your orders, sir, to defend the kingdom, and to slay the demon!"

"It's not too bad."

After finishing everything, George nodded to himself upon seeing this.

The noble mages of the nine great knight orders all have some of the quirks typical of nobles, and they also enjoy many privileges.

However, when it came to defending the kingdom, each and every one of them was truly determined to fight to the death.

Even if the enemy is a terrible demon, they will not back down.

That is the glory that belongs to nobles and knights.

"All of us elves are willing to obey commands!"

Patri led all the elves, thus demonstrating the elves' stance.

Reviving the patriarch to kill the murderer, the Word-Spell Demon, was also something the Elven race had to do.

"Alright, let's rest for two hours, formulate a battle strategy, and then open the Shadow Palace to annihilate the Word Demon."

Seeing this, Julius smiled with satisfaction.

With humans and elves joining forces, he was now absolutely certain of victory in the battles to come.

While Julius and Lumihil were devising a strategy for a joint human-elf battle, George pulled out a fragment of the Word-Power Demon's soul and began a forced soul search.

Soon, George had obtained all the information about the Underworld that the Word Demon possessed, as well as its own Word Magic.

Regarding information about the Underworld, the Word Spirit Demon, as a higher-ranking demon, certainly possessed more knowledge than the lowest-ranking demon, Libe, which gave George a deeper understanding of the Underworld.

As for the Word Demon's magic, it is actually very powerful; it can basically achieve anything it says.

It is already roughly equivalent to the effect of words following the law.

A mage of the rank of captain could be instantly killed by their incantation magic if one is not careful.

It also possesses the Disintegration Spear, capable of disintegrating any magic, and the ability to summon special magical creatures from the underworld that can devour magic and life force.

However, the drawback is also obvious: once the mouth is sealed, the power of the Word Magic is prohibited, and the strength will be greatly reduced.

He told Julius about this weakness before opening the Shadow Palace, and Julius immediately organized a special support magic team to suppress sound.

Sound-blocking magic isn't particularly rare; it's just that it's generally auxiliary and doesn't help in combat.

If Julius hadn't known this weakness of the Word Demon beforehand, he certainly wouldn't have summoned a mage with similar abilities.

But now that we know this, we can specifically target this weakness by organizing mages with sound magic to directly seal the voice of the Word Demon at the start of the battle.

Two hours later, the elves used elven magic to open the Shadow Palace.

The Shadow Palace was located in the capital, which naturally caused quite a stir.

However, Julius, who was prepared, covered it up under the pretext of a special magical experiment, thus preventing any panic.
