Marvel's Magic Master

……

Julius's second personality, whose real name is Lucius Zogratis.

He is the head of the Zogratis family of the Spade Kingdom, possessing the most powerful demon-possessed talent in the family's history.

Born with two souls in one body, and possessing two magical attributes: soul magic and time magic.

When the ritual was performed to summon a demon from the underworld to possess him, Astaroth, one of the three pillars of time, was directly summoned.

Unlike other demon summoners, he used his powerful soul magic to enslave the Time Demon, making it completely his follower.

After obtaining the power of the Time Demon, he saw all sorts of futures and devised a plan to devour other supreme demons, become the world's most powerful magic emperor, exterminate current humanity, and create a new human race.

But in those countless futures, there were a few in which he was hindered by mages from the Clover Kingdom and failed to complete his plan.

Just in case, he released Julius's personality and placed it in the Clover Kingdom, secretly influencing and manipulating Julius with soul magic.

Everything was going smoothly until a mage named George, whom we've never seen before in the future, appeared.

This weak human, whose magic was so insignificant that he thought he could kill with a single glance, actually saw through the Word Demon's plan and used some strange magic to greatly enhance the Black Bulls' power.

Although it was unexpected, he wasn't too worried.

After all, his current identity is the Magic Emperor of the Clover Kingdom, and he can take control of his body at any time. The subsequent plans also require the Clover Kingdom to have sufficient strength to be successfully completed.

The key is that if George interferes with his plans, killing him would be a simple matter for him.

Therefore, he plans to wait and see and not adjust his plans for the time being.

However, to his surprise, George discovered the Time Demon and unexpectedly expelled both himself and the Time Demon from his body.

Left with no other choice, he had to use soul magic to temporarily parasitize the Time Demon's body and control it in battle.

"Boss Julius, are you alright?"

Yami walked over to Julius and casually asked.

George's act of separating the demon from Julius's body not only surprised Lucius but also caught everyone off guard, and it's only now that they've realized what was happening.

"It's nothing, I just never thought I had that side to me."

Julius looked at Lucius, who was parasitizing the Time Demon, with a complicated expression.

Lucius was separated from George's body, and the soul magic that Lucius had been attached to his soul was naturally removed.

This instantly revealed his true identity and all of Lucius's plans to him.

"He is the Time Demon, a demon even more powerful than the Word Demon. We absolutely cannot let him escape today, or it will be a catastrophe for humanity!"

Julius unleashed his enormous spellbook, leading all humans and elves in an attack against the Time Demon controlled by Lucius.

He will not let Lucius's plan succeed; today he will eliminate Lucius and the Time Demon together right here.

Both he and Lucius aimed to create a beautiful world where classes did not exist.

But he absolutely did not approve of Lucius's approach.

He hoped to change the world little by little through his own efforts, just as he changed the Magic Knights.

Lucius's solution was to destroy all of humanity and use his soul magic to create new humans who would absolutely obey his commands, thereby achieving equality among humanity.

"attack!"

"Black Tyrannosaurus Rex kids, break through your limits today and charge with me!"

With a roar, Yami transformed back into a black dragon and led Asta and the others from the Black Tyrannosaurus Rex to the forefront.

Nowadays, apart from George, the weakest members of the Black Tyrannosaurus Rex are all at the vice-captain level, while most of them have captain-level strength.

The captain, Night, and Lumiel are even stronger than the Magic Emperor.

Therefore, they are now the strongest magic knight order in human history.

The other magic knights and all the elves followed the Black Tyrannosaurus Rex and launched an attack on Lucius.

"Ganbatte Kudasai!"

The only one who didn't make a move was George, who leisurely floated above the Shadow King's Palace and gave everyone a shout-out with a megaphone spell.

"Hmph, do you think I'm that useless Word Spirit?"

Lucius controlled the Time Demon, revealing its complete demonic form. The powerful energy caused the entire Shadow Palace to shake.

"In that case, I'll just wipe you all out here first!"

"Time Realm - Time Stop!"

Centered on Lucius, time was frozen throughout the Shadow Palace, and Yami and the others were also frozen in this area due to time magic.

At this point, only three people were still able to move within the Time Realm.

The first one is naturally Lucius, who uses the Time Domain.

The second is Julius, who possesses the four-leaf clover time magic book.

The third one is George.

"So you really do know time magic!"

Lucius's gaze sharpened as he looked at George, who was floating in the air completely unaffected by the time magic.

Julius's time magic hadn't worked on George, which made him suspect that George might be proficient in time magic, and now it turned out to be true.

"I know a tiny bit about everything."

George shrugged and didn't offer to help.

Because at this point, Julius had already used his control over time magic to minimize its impact on everyone.

Although Julius's time magic level is not as high as that of the Time Demon, he is still a Magic Emperor and can still exert some influence.

At this point, the Time Domain, due to Julius's interference, could no longer freeze everyone; at most, it could only slow them down by half.

"Roar!"

Even though Night and Lumiel were half as slow, they were still very fast as dragons, and they were the first to arrive in front of Lucius and unleash their roar.

Lucius remained calm, having foreseen the attack using time magic, and thus had a plan in place.

They easily avoided this terrible attack.

And so, the two sides began their massive brawl in the Shadow King's Palace.

As the battle intensified, and as the members of the Black Tyrannosaurus Rex became more proficient in their dragon-slaying magic...

Lucius, who initially had the upper hand, gradually found it difficult to cope!

"Damn it, what exactly is this dragon power? How did it increase the power of these mages so much? And that elven chieftain and Julius, so annoying!"

During the battle, what gave him the biggest headache was the Black Tyrannosaurus Rex, whose entire force was equipped with dragon-slaying magic. Next were the Elf Chieftain and Julius, who could negate some of his magic.

As the battle continued, Lucius felt increasingly uneasy, realizing that it was no longer possible for him to defeat so many powerful opponents on his own. If he didn't leave soon, he might die here today.

So he did everything he could to find an opportunity and quickly escaped the encirclement.

He planned to first escape to the Kingdom of Spades, find his younger siblings who were also possessed by equally powerful demons, and then come together to destroy the Kingdom of Clover.

I'll kill you before I leave!

Upon escaping the encirclement, Lucius did not flee immediately but instead rushed towards George.

The battle can be lost, but George must die!
He wasn't acting impulsively to avenge George exposing his identity; rather, he was worried that George had turned all the mages in the Clover Kingdom into Dragon Slayer Mages, meaning that even if he brought all the demon-possessed individuals and all the Spade Kingdom's magic knights, he still wouldn't be able to win.

"Is this a case of 'You have a path to heaven but choose not to take it, and you have no gate to hell but insist on barging in'?"

Seeing Lucius charging toward him with murderous intent, George shook his head and activated the authority of the Demon Sequence Sequence Zero Abyss.

His eyes seemed like an abyss that truly contained countless demons, radiating an endless subtle pressure that only demons could sense.

Instantly, the Time Demon's body stopped a meter in front of George. No matter how Lucius manipulated it, the Time Demon's body dared not move an inch, and it began to tremble from body to soul.

"How could this be? Who are you?"

Lucius looked up into George's unfathomable eyes, and an overwhelming sense of fear welled up inside him.

What kind of being could intimidate the Time Demon, one of the three pillars of Hell, with just its aura?
Could it be that the strongest beings in the Underworld are not the three pillars, but even higher-level demons?

Demon Emperor? Demon Lord? Demon Creator?
Just as Lucius's mind was wandering, a long sword covered in dark, energy-devouring power cleaved him vertically in two.

It was Yami who arrived in time to regain his human form and deliver the fatal blow.

George, on the other hand, casually summoned the souls of Lucius and the Time Demon, and reviewed their memories.

"So Yuno is actually a prince of the Spade Kingdom. No wonder he has such strong magical talent and was able to obtain the four-leaf clover grimoire."

The Kingdom of Spades is one of the four kingdoms in this world. It is located in the north of the Kingdom of Clover, with a strong demon zone in the middle. It is known as the Kingdom of Winter and the Kingdom of Mist, and is also known as the Kingdom of Demon Gods.

It is the kingdom with the most powerful military and magical forces among the four kingdoms.

The Kingdom of Spades is ruled by the Grindelwald family, a peace-loving family. Therefore, although the Kingdom of Spades is powerful, it has never invaded the other three kingdoms.

But this peaceful and tranquil situation was shattered fifteen years ago.

Within the Kingdom of Spades, there exists a family called Zoglatis. This family possesses the ritual to summon demons, and can acquire their power to fight by signing contracts with them.

Originally, with the talent of this family's mage, he could at most summon a mid-level demon to form a contract.

However, decades ago, four prodigies with exceptional talent for summoning demons emerged in this family.

The leader of them was Lucius Zoglatis.

He summoned the Time Demon, one of the three pillars of the Underworld, and used soul magic to completely control it.

Moreover, he foresaw different future developments, changed his name and identity, and used his first personality to infiltrate the Clover and become the Magic Emperor.

The second, third, and fourth sons, who were born later, summoned the strongest demon Lucifer, the space demon Beelzebub, and the new three pillars Mechichura, who replaced the time demon, respectively.

However, they lacked the soul magic to fully control these three strongest demons, and were instead influenced, gradually turning evil.

Fifteen years ago, the three siblings used demonic powers to launch a coup, killing the king and queen and seizing control of the Kingdom of Spades.

Only the newborn Prince Yuno escaped the Kingdom of Spades under the protection of the First Division Commander and arrived at Haji Village on the border of the Kingdom of Clover.

In the end, presumably to lure away the pursuers, the First Division Commander left Yuno outside the orphanage.

That led to the later adoption of Asta and their participation in the Magic Knights' examination in the capital.

Lucifer and his associates influenced the coup d'état by controlling the entire Kingdom of Spades, then cultivating a large number of demon-possessed individuals to invade the other three kingdoms, and finally establishing a passage that would allow all demons to descend upon the human world.

Lucius had foreseen the outcome through time magic and knew that they were destined to fail.

So he waits for Lucifer and the other demons to be defeated by humans, absorbs their power, becomes the most powerful magic emperor, and achieves his goal.

Everything ended, the Shadow Palace closed, and Julius revealed all the memories that Lucius had sealed away.

George also added some additional points.

"Pitch-black tripolarity!"

After listening to Julius and George's account, everyone's faces turned solemn.

Today, they experienced firsthand the Time Demon, one of the three pillars.

It took so many people ganging up on him to barely subdue him.

The Dark Tripolarity has three demons of this level, as well as a large number of demon-possessed individuals.

Each of those possessed possessed the strength of a captain.

If a real fight breaks out, the mages on the Clover Kingdom's side will not have the advantage in numbers.

"Actually, we still have advantages."

Seeing everyone's serious expressions, George smiled and analyzed:
"First, we have the advantage of intelligence."

We currently have a good understanding of the situation with the black tripolar, while they are unaware that we know about their situation.

Therefore, we have the initiative in terms of intelligence.

We could strike before they act, catching them off guard, or gang up on any lone individuals, taking them down one by one.

Secondly, we are not alone. As long as we inform the Hearts, Diamonds, Undersea Temple, and Witch Forest of the Dark Tripolar's purpose, I believe they will do their best to help us.

After all, if the Dark Tripolarity were to achieve its goal and allow demons to invade the human world, they would all be doomed.

Third, since Yuno is the prince of the Spade Kingdom and the rightful heir of the Spade Kingdom.

Then we can use Yuno's identity to get most of the mages in the Spade Kingdom to choose neutrality.

Finally, all that's left is to deal with the Dark Triad and their demon-possessed minions.

After hearing George's analysis, everyone's eyes gradually lit up.

Looking at it this way, the pitch-black tripolar doesn't seem so difficult to deal with!
“George is right, next…”

Julius nodded and quickly began making arrangements.

"That's settled. If all goes well, we'll attack the Kingdom of Spades a week from now. We must finish the battle before they can react!"
