After the explosion settles the arena is littered with heaps of bodies.

However, I think I can tentatively say that they are all still alive for the time being. I expressly warned them. Its so sad that these people are my direct descendants yet they are on the verge of death.

No, lets think positive. They arent dead yet.

Bastard. What did you do?

Liorg unsteadily gets to his feet.

His right arm is dyed red. If hes not careful that arm will be useless for the rest of his life.

On the plus side, hes less wounded that I thought he would be. He must have judged that he wouldnt be in time to stop it so he sent all the power to his right arm.

What? I only threatened you a little. Your core, your source of power was scared of me and went wild.

What a joke

Its actually the truth but Liorg doesnt seem to believe me.

To begin with, magic is created from the core of our being, our root if you will. If the core is altered or scared, the magic produced by it can go out of control.

Well, whatever. Care to admit that Im the founder? Even a little?

Liorgs hatred returned as soon as I spoke.

Should I praise him that he can still show such great hostility towards me or should I admonish him that hes that stupid he cant tell the ability of his opponent?

Not in the slightest.

I see. However, the fact is that Im perfectly fine and you are not. I am closer to the founder than you.

Sealing magic, compulsion magic, recovery magic, magic of an unknown origin that causes other powers to run wild. Theres no way to handle multiple magics at such a high level. You are using a special tool to use your magic.

Kukuku. Laughter rises up from deep in my stomach.

Yare yare. Did you see me come with a magic tool or use one? I understand that you dont want to admit my ability but your argument is hilarious.

Theres no other way a mongrel can obtain such power!

Mongrel..

Wheres this obsession with pure blood come from? It wasnt like this 2000 years ago.

I am royalty. Its ridiculous to fall behind a mongrel. Defeat is not permitted even if I die!

Liorg thrust out his mostly dead right arm and a magic formation appears.

That is?

Ill let you see it. The difference between you and me. The origin magic that is only conveyed to royalty.

Thats origin magic? Three-dimensional formations have appeared. What magic is he going to use? I dont know yet but he seems happy with it so Ill stop hindering him for a bit.
