If the Arnold kingdom is the western power, then the eastern power is the Eiwell Empire. It is a huge country that essentially dominates the eastern part of the world, and the rise of its magic is no less than that of the Arnold Kingdom.

But there are always black rumors about the Aywell Empire.

Human body experiments with magic. There are other groups that use magic as a tool for murder... And in fact, the rumor was not true, but it was definitely close.

Eiwell Empire, Imperial Capital. There was a crowd under the castle standing there. And among them was a man who stood out.

She puts glossy black hair together behind her and flushes it forward. For men, hair is long and looks like a woman at first sight. Although neutral, it can be understood as a man by looking at the muscles that can be seen from the top of the suit.

"Well, you've gathered, gentlemen."

When sitting at the round table, the man sounds a clear voice. Underground space illuminated by artificial light. There are six people gathered together.

What the hell are they talking about here?

"Let's start with a status report. Currently, the war is definitely spreading. But the problem is... special forces born in the kingdom. His name is Astral, a special selection unit. Among them is Lydia Einsworth."

The moment she heard the words, a little girl holding her hair together from side to side opened her mouth. The color of the hair was golden, reflecting sparkle and light.

"You just have to kill him, don't you?

"Fear, you're right. Kill the people who get in the way of the plan. That's why I'm sure of it. But Lydia Einsworth is one of the awakeners. Killing them will be unlimited."

"... is that so?

"I'm sure you've already distributed the materials."

"Sorry, Eins. I didn't read it."

And so called Ice, he sighs a little.

"Hah... well, that's also your virtue. I'll share it with you later."

"Thank you."

When Eins takes a breath, he explains the current situation to everyone again.

"Let's get back to it. As I have said, the greatest obstacle to this project is the Kingdom of Arnold. That's why we created an organization called Astral, a special selection unit. A handful of elites, including a selection of kingdom members. Honestly, except for Lydia Einsworth, she's a junk fish... but she won't be able to be alarmed."

I had already investigated the special selection unit Astral. The existence of the Special Selection Unit, Astral, has not been made public in the Kingdom, but they are collecting that information with certainty.

The enemy at hand talks to Lydia, but the real target is never her.

"What's going on with him? Why can't we get it back here?

A man asking questions in a messy tone. An arrogant attitude toward short-haired red hair. But there is no one to point it out.

"Dry. I told you about it before... but I couldn't help but say it wasn't a good time. We didn't know the rituals in that village either."

The man seemed to be called dry by Eins.

"So, it's been three years?

"That's right. But don't worry. Apparently, his education is carried out by Lydia-Aynesworth. She must also be aware of his specificity."

"I see. So, you're taking away where you grew up...?

"Life and death don't matter. All I need is his soul."

Keep talking like that in a serious tone.

Who the hell does he mean? It was about Ray, nothing else. A boy named Ray. Lydia and the others have not yet come to the truth, but the Yewell Empire already knew.

His presence is what should transform the world.

"So...? What are we gonna do now?

The voice was made to tear apart the slightest silence. It was a woman's voice, but it sounded like she was lazy somewhere. She was politely grinding her nails. It seems that I've listened to what I've been saying.

"Zwei is right, but we should try to spread the fire first. Ray still needs time to grow up."

"When the fruit ripens, you take it away?

"That's right."

"Hmm, well, I don't care if I can live this easy life in the future."

"To do that, we must do something about him."

"Yes, yes. I'll help you!

When she gently flushed her orange hair back, she stopped showing interest after that.

So Eins turns the subject into something else again.

"Well, we should investigate the village again first."

"Well, is that information definitive?

An energetic man in glasses opened his mouth.

"Xex, I'm sure you've already shared that?

"But it doesn't seem like a hundred stories. I can't believe it until I see it with my own eyes. Everything prioritizes my experience."

Then you should go to the inspection at a later date. I'll tell the army that. "

"Thank you. But is he really the zeroth person?"

And again, Xex questioned it. In contrast, Eins answers with his eyes as if he were staring into a void.

"This is all a sensory problem. But there's no doubt. That's what my instinct tells me. He is the end of the world....."

Having heard the words, there was nothing more to mention. The six of us here have already noticed.

The heterogeneity of the existence of a boy named Ray. I haven't met him yet, but the six of us here are definitely connected to him.

"That's all for today's meeting. I will tell the military what I think of the future."

Stand up.

And the six human beings on the spot leave the underground space. The last of them was Einstein. Untie the tied hair and keep the weight on your back.

Parallax and long hair dance slightly.

When he scratches it up at once, he leaks a loud voice.

"Finally, here we are... finally."

It's a plea.

The sights I've been waiting for for so many years. It was finally coming right before us. At the earlier meeting, he was suppressing his excitement, but now that he's alone, he can smile.

It's never a pure smile that looks forward to something.

An evil smile that makes your desires come true. Of course, I never thought of it as evil.

It has climbed to the township of the Yewell Empire and is one of the top posts in the army. Unlike the Kingdom of Arnold and others, they had clear goals.

It's about ruling this world.

I think that this empire can be an empire if it controls everything in the world. We cannot choose the means to do so. No matter how much human sacrifice is made, no matter how much blood is shed.

Everything is in the hands of the world.

"Ah, zero Ray . I'm looking forward to seeing you."

The Seven Wise Men's Seven Sages, an organization in the Aywell Empire. The reign of Ice at the top was as if she were calling her lover's name and murmuring Ray's name ─ ─.
