Chapter 274
Side Story 7
The Black Gold Grand Master.
It was the name of an emperor who, not merely in this dying age of magic, but throughout the entire history of the continent, was said to be mightier than any other.
Moreover, under the emperor’s rule, the Fourth Empire achieved a golden age that shone more brilliantly than any other time.
Until one day, suddenly, the empire vanished without a trace.
It could only be described as the empire vanishing, literally. The frozen northern lands, once the territory of the ‘Duke of Saxony,’ and after Dale of that very Saxon house became the ‘Great Emperor of Black Gold,’ were reborn as the emperor’s domain.
That very land vanished, literally disappeared. After it vanished, the sea filled the space it once occupied.
After the very heart of the Fourth Empire vanished, the continent was engulfed in an endless vortex of war.
The Fifth Empire, the Sixth Empire, and countless empires rose and fell in succession.
Amidst this chaos, even the Magic Towers, once hailed as the pillars of the continent, gradually lost their power and began fading into history.
For reasons unknown, the magic of the world was slowly dying.
The amount of mana that needed to be processed with aura and magic power dwindled to an absurdly small quantity, and even squeezing out what little remained could no longer restore its former glory.
High-level mages vanished one by one, and even those capable of wielding aura avatars grew fewer and fewer.
