After I died, my personal maid rebelled.

Upon hearing this, Medivh chuckled softly; he had already pinpointed the other party's identity.

The use of the word "defense" is indeed strange. Medivh's respect for Oswald stemmed not only from an affirmation of Oswald's personal abilities, but also from his recognition, as a fellow superior, of Oswald's sense of responsibility.

It was not power that bound Oswald's ambition, but responsibility that confined him to the position called ruler!

If Oswald truly is the most transcendent being in the world, someone even some find troublesome and helpless, he could completely give up the struggle and become the freest breeze.

But Oswald, who shielded the people behind him, lost his own wind, lost the eyes that could see ahead, and also lost his human body.

As for the superior who seemed oblivious to the weight of his responsibilities, Medivh bluntly exposed his identity.

"Great Sage, I've always wanted to have a talk with you."

The four elders living in the royal city were once hailed as the cornerstones of the kingdom.

Baird the Dragon Slayer, Archbishop John, the Archmage Medivh, and the Great Sage Baltazar.

Incidentally, the Great Sage had many different names, but Medivh speculated that Baltazar was his real name.

The four figures symbolize courage and wisdom, and also represent the maintenance of political and moral stability.

Aside from the open-minded Baird, Medivh was always wary of John and Baltazar, and the relationship between the four was far from friendly.

If John represents a reclusive lifestyle, then Baltazar is a diving master who cannot be observed.

"You are as perceptive as ever."

Baltazar, who was controlling Diana's body, did not deny it, nor did he need to.

"You know what, Medivh, I still believe that you are the one who should be the president of the Wizarding Guild, but you insist on serving the so-called royal power."

Medivh slowly shook his head. "Because humans are a warlike race, the strength of the King and the Central District can prevent many unnecessary internal conflicts. If I do not strengthen the royal authority, the kingdom will forever remain fragmented."

"You do have a long-term vision, but I've gained the upper hand this time. The situation you're worried about may very well happen in the near future."

Baltazar smiled and suggested, "If you can help me kill Oswald, I might be willing to inherit your ideals and ensure the kingdom's long-term peace and stability."

"One more thing to clarify: the calamity arose because the chaotic timeline spiraled out of control. I regret what happened to Baird, and given your current situation, I can only offer you limited assistance."

Medivh sighed when Baird was mentioned. "I sometimes miss Baird, even though we didn't exchange more than a few words."

"Are you deliberately avoiding answering questions about Oswald?" Baltazar turned to look at Medivh, but Medivh stared straight ahead, unmoved.

The more these people feared Oswald, the more Medivh became convinced that Oswald was the one who could turn everything around.

The world has already deteriorated to this extent. If I'm not mistaken, Frank and John have already met with misfortune. If Oswald and the Northern Territory were to fall at this point...

Medivh scratched the commotion on his face and said expressionlessly, "Once I become undead, you can naturally control me to deal with Oswald."

"Ha, I'm more afraid he'll devour your power... It comes down to the original problem, my old friend, Oswald is an extremely special being, and all three of his states are very dangerous."

"If you don't mind, could you tell me about it? Just to satisfy the curiosity of this dying man."

Baltazar sighed helplessly at Medivh's somewhat shameless request, unlike John, who was like a rat in the gutter, or Baird, who was open-minded and steadfast.

Baltazar always regretted that Medivh, a man of flexibility and responsibility, did not join their great cause.

But the Great Sage was wary of the great mage before him, especially one of such high rank and power. Perhaps he should have a good talk with Medivh sooner, but he dared not relinquish the initiative to Medivh.

This somewhat made up for the regret, as Baltazar revealed the secret in the final moments of Medivh's life.

In order to keep Medivh listening, Baltazar even put his hand on Medivh's shoulder to slow down his immortalization.

At that moment, the two seemed to become true, close friends.

Baltazar unleashed his magic and began his narration with seriousness.

"First of all, you need to understand one concept: Oswald was a person who had experienced death and resurrection, so his soul itself carried the traces and characteristics of death."

"The second point concerns the stability of the soul. You just need to understand that Oswald's soul is completely immune to the influence of the external environment."

"So this is Oswald's initial state, a surge in power under the overlapping state of life and death. You can understand it as Oswald's strength increasing rapidly every time a trait in his soul is triggered."

"The soul is infinitely mysterious and indescribable. In other words, we can't possibly guess how many times Oswald's soul traits were triggered. Severe injury, near death, or death in a dream could all trigger it."

"This is Oswald's first unobservable state, while the second state is equally dangerous, which is when his body begins to become undead while his soul remains stable."

"During this period, due to the existence of immortality magic, Oswald's physical body perfectly matched the superimposed state of life and death of his soul. Once Oswald stabilizes the immortality magic within him, he will directly transform into an existence that none of us can comprehend."

"Although this path is not easy to achieve, we are still worried that something behind Oswald might help him complete the transformation directly..."

At this point, Baltazar paused. In fact, according to their observation, Oswald at that time had gradually recovered his original strength while manipulating the new power of immortality magic.

Even if the battle against the Blood-Clad Saintess doesn't break out, they will quickly plan an attack on Oswald.

"The third state, my old friend, you have seen it too, Oswald has become completely undead, and has clearly stood at the pinnacle of the undead system."

"Don't be surprised by the changes in his body. It's the result of him, being at the top of the food chain, using immortality magic to assimilate other creatures or undead."

"Oswald is too dangerous now. If his soul can withstand his continued assimilation, he will become the most terrible nightmare for all living beings in the not-too-distant future..."
