Ian is not crazy.

He simply realized that this might be a way to help Nero break through Brittanicus' offensive.

after all--

The scene of the meteorite falling at this moment was exactly the same as the scene Nero saw in his dream.

This is definitely not a coincidence, but an arrangement of something in the dark.

He must seize this opportunity for her!

However, facing the approaching skyfire, Ian still felt a little worried.

This is something that came out of nowhere...can I really take it?

However, this thought only lasted for a second before disappearing completely.

It’s not a question of whether or not you can do it, but how well you can do it!

This is a promise from myself, and I will never give up on it.

Ian raised the staff in his hand.

It is something similar to a weapon specially made for the purpose of performing magic.

In the hands of ordinary people, it is just a more valuable root, but in the hands of a magician like Ian, it is an extremely powerful spellcasting tool.

The man pointed it toward the flames falling from the sky.

In an instant, a spell with complex patterns expanded out a dazzling blue halo with the gem-inlaid staff as the center.

This is the magic that Ian figured out himself!

“Go ahead—!”

The man injected "magic power" (a substance that is necessary to perform magic, and he named it this way because of its heavy sense of power) into it.

A buzzing sound.

The size of the aperture expanded to several times its previous size, and then flew upwards against the cold rain and lightning, like a net, stopping the falling meteorite in mid-air.

Is this a success?

There was a hint of excitement in Ian's eyes.

However, things did not go as smoothly as he had imagined.

After a period of stalemate with the meteorite in the sky, the aperture began to show signs of fatigue.

Then, the boundary that was originally stagnant in the air began to press towards the ground where Bai Ming was.

Oops!

Ian realized that he had underestimated the meteorite falling from the sky.

If this continues... I will be crushed to death here.

This absolutely cannot be done!

I also have to find a way to help Nero escape from a future where he becomes a tyrant and is despised by everyone!

The man tried his best but was unable to change the status quo.

Just when Ian was about to run out of strength, a figure appeared not far away.

That was Nero who was supposed to leave with his soldiers.

When she found out that Ian was gone, she immediately turned back and witnessed him fighting the meteorite alone.

The girl quickly realized that if she continued like this, her teacher would surely be buried under the meteorite.

Almost subconsciously, the young Roman emperor ran towards the one she loved, regardless of how dangerous the situation was.

"Teacher, let me help you!"

[This is extremely absurd.]

[You should know that Nero has never learned anything about magic, and he knows nothing about it. 】

[Even if she wants to help you, she probably doesn't know how to do it.]

[You realize that if you continue like this, both of you will die here.]

[“Nero, don’t come over here!”]

[You shouted out these words.]

[But it had no effect on the girl who loved you deeply - she still rushed towards you without hesitation, hoping to help you in some way.]

You are desperate.

[You were planning to help her solve the problem, but you didn't expect it to turn out like this, with both of you dying here at the same time.]

【This is not the result you want. 】

【only--】

[Things are once again developing in a direction you never expected. ]

it works.

Nero's support is useful.

Ian looked at her, who was holding the staff with him, with surprise in his eyes.

Her reserves of "magic power" were plentiful—probably several times more than her own.

What is going on here?

No, now is not the time to think about such things.

If Nero could help, he shouldn't have so many concerns.

She had come here at the risk of her own life - she had to respond to this trust with all her might!

Ian quickly adjusted the way he performed magic.

The magic power infused by Nero became the man's confidence to fight back.

The situation soon reversed.

The heavenly fire that was about to break through the aperture began to slow down little by little.

Eventually, it came to a complete stop and landed on the ground in a relatively non-destructive manner.

But even so, it still raised dust like waves.

Ten minutes later, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up.

Looking at the falling meteorite in front of him, Nero breathed a sigh of relief, and then became curious again.

"what is this?"

"It has already fallen to the ground, but it is still burning, like a flame that will never go out."

"..."

【You did not answer Nero immediately.】

[It's not that you disagree with her words, but you are also attracted by the falling meteorite in front of you. ]

【magic.】

【Deep magic.】

[This piece of fire that fell from the sky is constantly emitting an extremely exaggerated magical power. ]

【how so? 】

[You look at the meteorite, and for a moment you can't think of the answer to this question. ]

"Teacher? Teacher! Teacher?!!!!"

Nero called out three times before he brought Ian back from his contemplation of the meteorite.

"what happened to you?"

"I helped you stop it. Isn't that something worth being happy about? I'm confused as to why you have that expression on your face."

"..."

After all, it was the scene that Nero saw in his dream, so Ian did not hide it from her, but told her all his thoughts.

"'magic'?"

Nero looked at the still burning stone, his green eyes showing a little more concern.

"Teacher, if you put it that way, I actually have some ideas."

"Some thoughts outside of dreams."

"..."

Nero's dream only touched upon the falling of the meteorite. As for what happened after that, even she herself had no idea.

"what idea?"

"Yu--" Nero looked at the stone in front of him, his eyes flashing with excitement.

That's how she behaves when she has some ideas.

"I want to use this burning stone to forge a sword blade!"

"..."

[You never expected Nero to have such an idea. ]

[After all, anyone who has witnessed the near-destructive scene just now should not have such thoughts. ]

[But you know, Nero is definitely not the kind of person who would make a request for no reason. ]

【You decide to find out what's going on.】

"Nero, why did you think of using it to make a sword blade?" Ian asked.

"this--"

Nero put his hands on his hips and answered the question very seriously.

“Because I think it’s beautiful.”

"Beautiful?"

"Yes." Nero stretched out a hand and began to describe the scene of the meteorite falling. Her eyes gradually became focused in the process.

"Yu, I have already engraved this scene in my mind."

"..."

"Pfft."

Ian couldn't help but laugh, which made Nero a little unhappy.

"Teacher! What are you laughing at?" The girl pouted, "Is my idea so ridiculous?"

"No, the teacher is not laughing at you."

Ian stopped himself from laughing.

"Teacher, I'm happy for you. Even though you've become an emperor, you still have a heart that wants to appreciate beauty. This is a very good thing."

"In this way, the teacher won't have to worry that you will only see profit."

"So, teacher, what you mean is..."

"Of course I'm helping you." Ian gently touched Nero's head.

"When... have I ever rejected you?"

[The fire on the meteorite eventually went out.]

[Nero's sword-making plan also began at this time. ]

[You are afraid that she will be short-lived, so before starting, you keep telling her that this will be an extremely difficult process.]

【But you soon realize that this is meaningless. 】

[You underestimated Nero's determination - she really wanted to forge this meteorite that fell from the sky into a sword for herself.]
