Lord Shadow

Azief saw that Arial had also gain an interest to the magic circles around the capital. And he also began reading books about magic

There is an Archmage living in the castle.

That is what he deduces from what he sees.

Arial effort in trying to decipher magic or why there is no people in the capital of Vern reach a dead end.

Azief also flies over to see the magic circle. He rose to the sky and look at it and he also memorized it in his mind

'This must be some kind of formation.' He mutters to himself. Azief did not like learning magic that touches upon the concept of time and space.

He knew very well how dangerous it is to play with time-space but he would not reject knowledge that comes to him

But he knows that he always need to exercise cautions with this kind of magic that touches the very fabric of reality

It is different from the kind of magic that he is used to.

Most of the magic he has had runic writings.

The magic circle might look like just circle shaped that overlapped and overlaid on top of each other but there must be a rule to it.

If he remembers it right, the magic in Arial worlds is quite diverse.

Some of the magic in Arial worlds follows some laws.

Others did not and could connect with the intangible like using emotions to power spells.

That is very rare.

In some worlds, the magic could be categorized and even divided into rules and laws that governs it.

For that kind of world, the magic laws are organized and there is rules to it.

And then there are worlds that did not follow this kind of rules.

This kind of world is even more terrifying.

And the magic is also more terrifying and sinister.

Like a true love kiss could break a curse, the tears of a grieving mother could be an ingredient for a sinister curse and so on and so forth.

Earth X however have these two kinds of magic in the same plane.

Fortunately, enough, unlike the time of Levitia where gods and goddess roam the land, in Arial era, magic has thinned considerably.

But it did not mean that magic is gone.

There is still Elves that still retains most of the magic power.

And Azief is quiet sure that before the advent of the Darkness rising, the world was filled with magic and when Azief recalls it again, the magic that fills the world at that time is thicker than the magic power on Earth

Azief is curious of how Arial would go back to the past.

'Even though there is a magic circle…...'

Azief of course knows it must have something to do with the magic circle all over the capital city but the problem with this deduction is that the magic circle has no magical power.

And even though Arial learns the methods of Levitia, it is inner energy and not magic.

And while there is a way for him to derive a method of using inner energy to activate magical formation, Arial certainly did not have Azief ability of deducing things like that.

At least not in his current level

So, he is quite curious of how Arial would be able to use the magic circle to go back to the past. Actually, going back to the past is harder than going to the future.

Azief did not want to think of the implications of going back to the past and the science of it all, but going to the past is probably a hundred times if not a thousand times harder than going to the future.

That is also what fascinates him about the people of this world.

Their technology is still stuck in the medieval era, but their magic…. their magic is the kind of magic that is even hard to find in some advanced hybrid civilization of science and magic.

Azief floated and phase himself through walls and arrive at one of the towers in the Imperial Palace.

This tower is a secret tower. Even though Arial boasted that he had gone around all over the Imperial Palace, there is still many secrets of the palace that he did not found.

As for the library of Levitia, that is fate and destiny guiding him. As for these other secrets chambers and secret towers, he has not destiny with them

There is a book on top of a table in that secret tower.

The book is the same book that Arial had flipped around trying to make sense of the magic circle. And Azief knew that there is a magic to activate the magic circle.

Arial had brought that book down to the secret library below

How will Arial activate the magic circle if he does not have magic? Even if he found out how to activate the magic circle Arial does not know and does not practice magic

The Arial he met in the other timeline, does have magic. But he got that later in his life. And that magi itself is not the same kind of magic like most understand it.

There are many kinds of magic in Arial world. Arial was bestowed by the Divines and had Divine Magic

That is also because he had Divine Blood. If not how could someone who have no magic suddenly be able to use magic?

But for most of his life, Arial had never uses magic as even he himself does not know that he had magic until Amara awakened that magic inside of him

It is not logical that Amara would appear in front of Arial right now and stimulate his magic.

If this was the case, when Arial does go into another timeline, he should have used magic when he was at the Succession War and the War of Conquest

But there was no such thing.

He put it in the back of his mind as he returns back to hover beside Arial and quickly speeded up the projection.

While he was speeding up the projection Azief could feel that slowly the projection had become slower

But, he attributed it to the helmet slowly having its power drained

From what he reads at the manual, once the battery of the helmet is exhausted he would be forced out to exit from the projection

Of course, Azief did not know that he is currently not in a projection of Earth X, but he is really on that time and space.

Not knowing all of this, Azief keep observing. All the while, the Demon Army had ben conquering all the kingdoms

After all of the kingdoms had been conquered by the Demon Army, finally the Demon King sent a contingent to Vern.

Azief found out that the Demon Army did attack Vern and it is one of their first target after the Dukedom. But the magic that the Archmage had uses had annihilated all of the Demon Army that came to attack

And since then, the advisors of the Demon King had restrained the Demon King from going there until it is completely safe.

It was unlucky for the Human Continent that the Demon King did not follow that expedition.

If he did, then he would probably also be wiped out with all of his two hundred thousand soldiers

With that kind of casualties, it is not surprising that the advisors are cautious.

It wasn't until they conquered everyone before they finally muster their courage to go once again to Vern. But this time, they did not send that many soldiers and they were sent to verify the situation there and to report back

Azief saw that a continent of Demon soldiers had come as a vanguard. Arial notices this and lured them and slaughtered them all.

But, it is clear that Arial could not defeat all of the soldiers of the Demon Army. He retreated back to the Imperial Palace.

Azief in a glance could see that while Arial had been training, he had too little time to become a true expert.

It was a pity. If he had more time….

But then he looks at Arial fortune.

The once illusory fortune is slowly becoming solid.

And like Azief had suspected, the Demon Army did not relent. They found out now that they could enter the imperial city

Azief also notices that the Archmage might have bind the lives of the Demonic soldiers to the magic circle and it causes them unable to enter the magic circle.

But even magic experience entropy. After years, it had weakened and the Demon Army could now march into the Imperial city.

In Arial timeline, Arial force had become the orthodoxy power of the Human Continent, replacing the Vern Empire

But, in this timeline, even though Great Renasia had become an overlord in the far east, to many of the Caelum nobles they still recognize the orthodoxy of the Vern imperial family.

So, even though the Demon King had already conquered almost all of the kingdoms in the Human Continent, the capture of the seat of the orthodoxy of the Human Continent is both symbolical and necessary to show the changing of an era, just like when Arial become Emperor after his victory in Arleans.

Azief knows Arial could not win in this battle.
