Akatsuki Translations

Ultimate magic suddenly appeared in Uuga’s conference room.

The ultimate magic that would normally require the concentration, cooperation, and effort of several skilled magicians to activate suddenly appeared in the middle of the conference room. The traces of magical power drawn in the sky, despite being about to crumble soon due to the lack of a foundation, persisted.

The magic circle sustaining in the air for a few seconds. That in itself is an extremely advanced technique. Moreover, if it is indeed magic that has reached the final stage, it should be praised as a miraculous feat.

Of course, such a thing doesn’t matter to the side that has the barrel of magical gun pointed at them.

“—-“

“Lynne, stop it.” -Ur

“【O Chant, be Quite】.” -Shizuku

Ur stopped her, and Shizuku shattered the magical formula. The chaotic scene that had turned into an uproar for a moment vanished in the next moment as if nothing had happened. Everyone present broke into a cold sweat. Gloria, who had probably experienced the most terrifying ordeal, pointed at Lynne with a trembling voice after being stunned for a while.

“Y-y-you…!” -Gloria

“I just demonstrated the magic of an outdated, stagnant, and degenerate family, though?” -Lynne

Even while being grabbed by the scruff of her neck by Ur, Lynne declared without any remorse. She had indeed snapped. Rather, was it better that she didn’t start shouting until now? But how should this be settled afterwards?

“Such a thing!!” -Gloria

Naturally, Gloria is also enraged. Several of her subordinates have already drawn their swords, with Eckstein is restraining them, but it’s unknown to what extent they can be stopped. First, something must be done about this atmosphere–

“What do you mean by ‘such a thing,’ Gloria?” -Diz

At that point, Diz interjected.

“Is it that you looked down on the other party’s family background, misjudged their magic despite being an errand girl of the 【Heavenly Demon】, and got a taste of your own medicine?” -Diz

“Ugh…!” -Gloria

Being told that, Gloria fell silent, unable to continue.

“You publicly insulted her, the head of a family holding a Temple rank, even if it’s the lowest. You should think a little about which side would be accused of outrageous rudeness.” -Diz

Saying that, Diz unexpectedly shifts her gaze behind Lucretia.

More precisely, she directs her gaze toward the members of the Gradol Sun Knight Order behind her.

“…………”

Their eyes looking at Gloria were sharp. Even before Lynne unleashed her magic, they had a look that suggested they could not stomach Gloria’s words and actions.

The Gradol Sun Knight Order, which had lost many in the Uuga incident, had united as a result of the expulsion of those who were connected to Caraleigh and tolerated wrongdoing.

We, the ones who remain, shall truly become the sword of God and the spirits.

At the end of the disaster and collapse, their awareness of that had become the strongest in history. Therefore, it was uncertain what would have happened if Lynne herself had not shown anger. Their anger would not change even if Lynne held an official position in Lust.

Depending on the situation, it could have been a conflict between the Knight Order and the Sun Knight Order.

“Ugh…” -Gloria

“Let’s change the atmosphere a bit, shall we?” -Jenna

Jenna suggested that and opened the window of the door. The breeze blowing through felt pleasant. The wind, which made one feel the summer heat gradually subsiding, further calmed the atmosphere.

In the meantime, Ur approached Lynne, whom he had pulled close, and spoke to her in a small voice.

“…Have you calmed down?” -Ur

“I am calm. I had no intention of actually activating that either.” -Lynne

The White King Formation drawn in the air, using only the magical power in the air as a foundation without anything else, was a byproduct she gained after acquiring 【Speed Writing】. Normally, it would crumble from the caster’s side due to lack of magical power, but she forcibly completed it with speed.

However, it is an incomplete technology with unstable power. What she showed just now was half a bluff.

“Shizuku’s 【Dispel Magic】 worked. If left alone, it would have crumbled quickly, right?” -Lynne

“If you’re calm, that’s good, but can you stand in front of Gloria without resorting to violence?” -Ur

“Is kicking okay?” -Lynne

“No.” -Ur

“I’m joking. I was seething, but I expected what she would say, so I’m calm. I just made it a bit flashy.” -Lynne

Ur wanted to retort about the “a bit” part, but she did seem to be calm.

In fact, while the current magic was indeed over the top, it was also effective. The other side’s spirits have been considerably dampened.

“I’m counting on you to keep fighting for a little longer.” -Ur

“Yes– Thank you for relying on me, Ur.” -Lynne

“Who else would I rely on for this kind of problem besides you?” -Ur

Saying that, Ur released her and took his seat. Lynne also stood up on the chair, drawing gazes to her. However, the gazes that were directed at her were clearly different from before, filled with awe.

“As you just saw…” -Lynne

Saying that, Lynne glared at Gloria. Perhaps she no longer had the composure to refute at this point, as she remained silent, pressured by the gaze.

“The effect, activation speed, and accuracy of the White King Formation of the Leyline family are progressing. It can exert a stable influence even on this 【Dragon-Devoured Uuga】. In fact, Uuga’s current 【Roar】 does not have attack capabilities against the urban areas. I adjusted it to disperse against the barrier.” -Lynne

The scales sway towards Lynne, indicating that it is a fact.

“I can control Uuga. When Uuga was born, I was the one who took control away from the heretics.” -Lynne

“…That may be insufficient as a supplement after showing that off, but I can also vouch for her abilities. Her technique and ability to interfere with Uuga are certain. Even the silver-rank magician of the 【White Serpent】 acknowledges it.” -Jain

Jain added his words there.

At this point, there was probably no one left who doubted Lynne’s power. The Envy side could no longer point out her lack of ability. Realizing that, Gloria made a disgruntled face.

Lynne’s ability and the strength of the White King Formation – she herself had experienced it, whoever she may be. No matter how much she tries to argue the insufficiency of the 【White King Formation】 from here on, it would be nothing more than lying to herself. Statements that deceive oneself will never move the spirit’s scales.

Is it over? Ur thought so.

“Splendid. The crystallization of the Leyline family’s refinement, I am truly impressed.”

However, there was a man who affirmed Lynne’s power, neither denying nor interrupting it.

Eckstein Lagoat. The vice-captain of the Envy Knight Order who had remained silent until then. Ur’s old acquaintance, with a face so beautiful that he could be mistaken for a woman, stepped forward quietly with a gentle smile.

The gong for the third round rings. Ur thought, “Please spare me.”
