Chapter 223
“……”
Just before the Peacemaker was thrust into Ray’s body, blue butterflies took flight.
They covered Ray’s body, blocking Dale’s sword as it came down.
Thud!
Dale’s sword plunged straight down, yet Ray’s body merely disintegrated into hundreds of blue butterflies, scattering into the air. Like a fleeting illusion.
“What the hell is this?”
The warrior from another realm, re-gripping his Peacekeeper in reverse, coldly retorted.
“Please forgive my rudeness, our lord.”
A voice echoed. Dale looked up, and there stood a figure cloaked in blue.
“Would you not postpone taking this child’s life until a later hour?”
The Blue Mage Tower Lord resided there. As the continent’s foremost blue mage, possessing the power to weave webs across the entire land as needed and bind the consciousness of its targets.
The Blue Magic Tower of deceit and intrigue.
“That child could never be your equal. The truth is, they could never even reach the Shadow Lord’s heels, not in a lifetime.”
“…Then why are you blocking my path?”
“But when you kill that child, the backlash that act will bring is not something the current Shadow Lord can bear.”
“You speak of the Crimson Orb.”
“Ah, yes, that is it.”
It was at that very moment. The man clad in a crimson robe also appeared in that spot.
“……!”
Likewise, it was never a physical entity. Merely a consciousness bound by the Blue Mage Tower’s power.
