Episode 250 Chapter 50: Noble Soul (3)

Noble Soul (3)

Aether's Far East, Easters Plateau.

There was a beautiful tourist spot called 'Heavenly Dragon Cliff,' named so because the shadow cast on the cliff by the sun resembled a dragon ascending to the heavens.

Although it seemed to have lost its value as a tourist destination 100 years ago due to the erosion of dark magic, it still received the breath of life from countless adventurers who visited the place.

As of today, it appears to have met its end.

Clouds rise from the ground.

Not metaphorical clouds, but actual clouds that float in the sky.

However, due to the distortion of space, they momentarily descended and settled on the ground, confused about their original position.

As the clouds were blown away by the wind, a terrain that looked more like a basin than a cliff was revealed.

The beautiful and majestic cliff had completely collapsed into a plain, and the mountain range that formed the backbone of Easters was uprooted and forcibly repositioned. Adventurers visiting the place might have to redraw their maps.

"...Ah. This is troublesome."

Rudrick Hollow, the master of the Tower of New Moon.

He tried to wipe the blood dripping from his mouth with his sleeve, but realized that his right arm had long been crushed and disappeared beyond the dimensional rift.

"Haha, as expected, the Twelve Constellations are still a bit too much for me..."

His duel with the Gray October was quite an experience for him.

The magic battle between spatial magicians is different from an ordinary magic battle.

For those who ignore spatial constraints when fighting, even the phrase 'one step ahead' becomes meaningless.

Step-by-step!

Walking through the clouds, the October Moon appeared with a cold, hardened expression, gazing at Rudrick lying on the ground.

"You're doing something pointless. Is there a reason for this? Magician."

"Who knows."

Though he knew he would lose, it wasn't completely without meaning.

He could change 'a very small incident' that would happen in the future.

As Rudrick predicted, the October Moon would sense the distortion of fate from the Silver November Moon here.

Of course, anyone at the 9th class level would be aware of the current twist in fate, so it was impossible for the October Moon not to notice it.

However, he likely wouldn't discover the most critical 'cause of the twisted fate. When the Twelve Constellations interfere with worldly affairs, all events and stories become distorted.

The October Moon wouldn't act in ignorance. He would undoubtedly use the Silver November Moon to find and eliminate the 'one cause' of the twisted fate.

This must not happen.

While the October Moon could observe the world, he couldn't see the very small and trivial things. His fatal flaw had to be exploited to the fullest.

Someday... until the boy could oppose the October Moon.

"There are less than ten years left until the end of the world's flow. You're struggling meaninglessly, magician."
