Gadwin’s eyes popped open, staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. In the next moment, a wave of pain seared across his body, making him recall what had happened before he fell unconscious. He remembered tossing the Chancellor through a portal, ensuring his safety. Before the bombs exploded around him, he piled on the thickest mana that
Cornelius and I left Minsk after stalling the Purnesian Army. Then, we met up with the Reichenstein domain’s militia only about twenty minutes south. With a wave of her arm, Cornelius created a large ice wall that stretched across a significant portion of the field. Various holes dotted the structure, allowing one to peek out
I let out a deep breath as I scanned the frozen area around me. Moments before, the Purnesian soldiers had all been eating the meal I cooked. But now, they were all blanketed in a sheet of ice. “So… how was my acting?” I turned to Cornelius who had been responsible for the wide range
In just over an hour, the thick wall of ice that blocked entry into the Kingdom of Sistina had been knocked down. Captain Chrusciki marveled at how thick that wall was, given how quickly it was cast. However, the Ice magician had merely needed to fill in the key areas that had been blown wide
Raganoff eyed the ice wall that had been erected before him, clicking his tongue at how magicians of Sistina could show off their fancy spells. Living in a kingdom rich in mana made quite the difference in this world as the Purnesians had been forced to reinvent their livelihood around its absence. But now, they

The scent of blood clung to the back of my nostrils. Perhaps, I was imagining it since I had the luxury of staying several steps away, leaving Gadwin to do the killing. Regardless, something was nauseating. A feeling choked the back of my throat and made me want to gag. ‘How many was this now?’
My eyes darted back and forth between the mess of round balls on the ground. The scent of gunpowder was now recognizable. Out of reflex, I stepped back two paces. “B-Bombs!” “Don’t worry, these aren’t going to explode unless you activate the Fire Stone inside. Then you have about two seconds to leave the room.”
I felt a cold shiver run down my spine as I saw the portals hovering around me. Each one had a gun poking out and aimed straight at me, as if daring me to make a move. Even in a panic, I could tell exactly what they were holding. The distinct design of the magic
