Aryandor quickly returned to the rebels and circled around them.

Most of the rebels were wounded and resting.
Ian and McDowell.
Ian’s space magic only reduced the size even if the leaders rushed in, and McDowell showed a huge scale of magic even if he lost one of his arms.
This happened because Aryandor, the secret weapon of the rebels, and Daemon of the Spirit Magic were not present.
The rebel leaders correctly recognized that this was Aryandor’s operational failure.
However, they did not rebel against Aryandor.
The anger of the leaders over Jeffrin’s death was not small.
The leaders had been together before the rebels were properly formed, and they knew each other well.
Those who have lost what is most important to the Empire.
So there was a deep bond with each other.
So, in this situation where Jeffrey died, I thought they would have made the same choice even if they were themselves.
Therefore, there was no resistance from the leaders of the operation failure.
However, the dissatisfaction of the soldiers had to be stopped.
“Thanks to Aryandor-sama, I was able to live… … .”
So, the leadership made it look like Aryandor saved the soldiers.
Of course, it wasn’t wrong.
As Aryandor, who was in the Persian territory, arrived at the battlefield in front of the Academy, the Academy’s troops also withdrew.
However, if Aryandor had been on the battlefield from the beginning, he cleverly hid that there would be no such damage to the troops.
It was not possible to control the general public sentiment of the soldiers with such a pun, but it was still possible to rectify it to some extent.
“Then what will you do now?”
In such a state, the leaders gathered and held a meeting.
The public sentiment of the soldiers was also a problem, but there was another problem.
“How does the law of breaking the magic of time exist?”
The first to speak was Damon who went to the Persian estate with Aryandor.
Why the rebels were able to fight the Empire.
It was thanks to necromancer magic and time magic.
Spirit magic filled the shortage of soldiers, and time magic made it possible to fight against strong wizards and swordsmen.
Without either of these two, the rebels could not stand against the Empire.
Because neither the military nor the human resources were superior to the Empire at all.
The rebels believed only in these two abilities.
There, one trust was broken.
There is a method of destroying time magic that was thought to be invincible.
Rather, time magic became Aryandor’s weakness.
Aryandor believed in time magic and had the ability to focus on attack.
There, the magic of time disappeared, and neither Ian, Cromwell, McDowell nor anyone else had an equal battle with the academy who had never graduated.
Confidence in ability from the leadership position was broken.
“I don’t know for sure.”
“Is it all if you don’t know?”
“Damon, please restrain yourself. Fighting doesn’t give you the answer, isn’t it?”
Benderwood, standing next to Damon, stopped him.
Damon then calmed his excitement and sat down.
Benderwood turned and looked at Aryandor.
“Aryandor, as a slave, I am not wise, but I know the situation is serious. Are there any solutions or countermeasures for this?”
This is Benderwood, who once fought the future Rudy.
He also missed Lie and Yuni, who had both caught at the academy, and was defeated by Rudy.
Thinking that such a person had the ability to break the magic of time, the rebels could not stop Rudy and could be defeated.
“There is no solution now.”
“Aryandor… … .”
Aryandor stood up.
“But, let’s try to save it.”
Then he walked out of the barracks.
Benderwood sighed and opened his mouth.
“… … The meeting does not end here.”
Aryandor stepped out and returned to his private barracks.
Then I started writing a letter.
‘Clearly, I heard that Priscilla disappeared from the words of ‘that person’.’
I heard that Priscilla’s contractor in the past was handled by ‘that person’, and Serena, who was going to be the next user, did not get Priscilla.
By the way, how did Rudy Astria have that spirit?
Worst case… … No, it shouldn’t have happened.
It was a bad situation for people near the space magic user to have spirits, but it was the worst situation for the space magic user to directly sign a contract with.
In fact, time magic is not a perfect technique.
There were plenty of countermeasures to it.
However, it is not easy to recognize that the countermeasure is a countermeasure.
No one else had ever dealt with time magic, so it was clear that they would win before they could figure it out.
However, space magic was an exception.
Space magic, even if you have never dealt with time magic, you can already recognize time magic with your body.
Time and space must approach each other’s realms when used.
Whether it’s space magic or time magic, it’s not a magic used in the current dimension.
A magic used in the invisible dimension of space and time.
Two abilities that are at the center of the world and are used by similar dimensions.
When time changes, there is a warp of space, and when a change of space occurs, a warp of time occurs.
They were able to recognize each other’s use of each other’s abilities.
The problem is that even if you are aware of the opponent’s abilities, you cannot reach out to the opponent’s territory.
Time has time-specific domains, and space has space-specific domains.
Whether it be time magic or space magic, you cannot engage in any realm other than your own.
Only those who have been taught the ability can access that unique realm.
Time had to be taught by the magic user of time, and space had to be taught by the magic user of space.
Even though they were taught space magic, they could not touch the realm of time, and those who had not received it could not even see the realm.
This is why time and space are called the realms of God.
‘but… … .’
Just because you can’t see the realm, doesn’t mean you can’t reach out to it, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any loopholes in your abilities.
Even if he twisted the realm of time, he had to bring that ability into reality anyway.
It was the only loophole in time and space.
If it was blocked before applying the ability to reality, no matter how much ability it used, it was meaningless.
It was Priscilla who did that role.
Someone who knows how to use space magic has a countermeasure.
It really could have been the worst.
‘But I didn’t fully use my abilities.’
So there was still a chance.
A chance to change this situation somehow.
Aryandor wrote all the letters and moved his mana.
“Time Regression.”
Then all the contents of the letter disappeared.
time regression.
I slowly turned back the time and made the content disappear.
However, this magic was not continuous magic.
Once the magic was released, the content returned.
The reason for using this magic was for confidentiality.
An ordinary person cannot dispel this magic.
So the time regression continues and remains empty.
Aryandor took the lost letter and headed towards the cage inside the barracks.
The person to whom Aryandor sends the letter is the one who will recognize it.
The person who taught Aryandor the magic of time.
because it was sent to him.
Aryandor put down his pen and let out a sigh.
‘Then I’m on my own… … I’ll have to move.’
***
The sound of birdsong sounds like the morning.
But the sunlight did not feel as if someone had pulled a curtain.
I feel pain in my shoulder and I can’t move well.
It felt like someone had bandaged it.
But, last night obviously… … .
“I remember I just slept… … ?”
I opened my eyes.
Then I saw a well-bandaged shoulder.
“Did you sleep well?”
And a voice came.
“Astina-senpai.”
A smiling Astina was in front of me.
“What if you go to sleep right away while you are bleeding like that? No matter how much magic you receive, you have to sleep with bandages.”
“Ahaha… … .”
I laughed awkwardly.
After the battle was over, and receiving treatment with magic, I was relieved and fell asleep as soon as I saw the bed.
“Have you been here all night longer than that?”
“Because it could make your condition worse.”
“Then if you put a doctor on it… … .”
“Can you treat a benefactor like that? As the owner of the estate, I must take care of it.”
Astina smiled kindly.
Talking like this made it clear that I had changed my future.
I succeeded in saving Astina.
I don’t know how I used it, but I stopped the time magic and saved Astina.
Although I failed to catch Aryandor, I was thrilled that I just saved Astina.
“Thank you for saving me. Rudy.”
I laughed at Astina’s words.
“It was only possible because of the help of other people.”
Evan and Cromwell, plus Astina and other people around.
It was possible because everyone was there.
Astina shook her head at my words.
“I am not talking about yesterday.”
“yes?”
“It was a long time ago.”
“If before.”
“It’s a story in the capital.”
Astina opened her mouth as she recalled that time.
“I was terrified. I thought about what would happen to me when I died dozens of times, and I was constantly thinking about what to do to cope with the situation. When I died, I tried to separate from you when you said you were going to be weird. Even if Luna and Lie stayed by your side or had time to see you at the academy, they didn’t go to you. That way, even if I die, you will be able to live well.”
Astina continued.
“Still, I struggled. to survive somehow. Trying to save my life somehow. tried and tried In order to respond to Aryandor’s time magic, he did a lot of research and grew his strength. Still, it lacked a lot. So he joined the Imperial Army. I thought a lot there. Even if I die, you can still live like you. That’s how I tried to accept reality.”
Then Astina smiled and looked at me.
“Then you came. and told me to believe in yourself You will surely save me.”
Astina gently placed her hand on mine.
“Thank you, Rudy. Thanks to you, I was able to live.”
Astina’s voice was trembling, so she could feel her emotions.
Astina-senpai must have thought a lot too.
Who wouldn’t have been terrified when he said he was going to die?
fear of death.
Doubts about yourself.
surrounding circumstances.
A number of things must have pressed Astina.
Rather, the fact that I told Astina-senpai that I was going to die may have put more pressure on me.
It could have been better for Astina if it was just that Astina remained unaware of the future and I saved her.
Nevertheless, Astina persevered.
He believed in me and believed in himself.
“I just want to thank Astina-senpai who persevered until the end.”
I said with a smile.
Then Astina let out a sigh.
“In this case, you can just accept the thanks. There’s no need to blame others. However.”
However, he soon smiled softly.
“I like Rudy like that too.”
***
Conference room in the imperial capital.
“Ian Astria, you did a great job. It seems that the spirit of the rebels has died a lot thanks to that.”
“It’s overrated. your majesty.”
“It’s overdone. Didn’t you do that much damage to the rebels? This should give you peace of mind for a while. And Astina Persia. You worked really hard too.”
“thank you. It was possible because of the help of many people.”
“Huh, come to think of it, Rudy Astria helped me a lot. I must have seen him in front of Gwain until a few days ago, but when did he get there? … . Is he okay?”
“Yes, I am resting well.”
“Hey, Astina Persia. Thanks for the reply, but Guain asked someone else.”
The emperor turned his head and looked to the side.
It was the seat of the Duke of Astria.
It used to be where Ian was sitting, but now someone else is sitting there.
Ferian Astria, father of Rudy and Ian. he was sitting
“Do you know where Rudy Astria is now?”
Perian Astria replied to this.
“I do not know.”
“Then the duke would not be located in the capital even if there was a war, and his face would not shine once while his sons were making these achievements. I don’t know where that son is even though he’s injured. May I ask what you’ve been up to? Perian Astria?”
“sorry. your majesty.”
Perian bowed his head to the emperor.
“Gwain asked you what you did.”
“What will a nobleman who has announced his retirement do? I was just in the mansion enjoying my hobbies.”
“Are hobbies more important than war?”
“no. My sons have grown up so well, so I believed that they would take care of them.”
The Emperor looked at Perian with sharp eyes.
“You are still the Duke of the Empire. Declaring retirement does not mean that I am retired!”
“sorry. your majesty.”
The emperor grabbed his forehead with his hand.
“Originally, I would like to punish the Astrian family, but I will not do it because of your sons. So, stay in the capital until you properly hand over the family to one of your two sons.”
“I will obey your orders.”
Perian only quietly answered.
Soon after, the emperor turned his head and looked at the prime minister, Jason Ophilus, who was next to him.
“Prime Minister Ophilus, give separate prizes to Rudi Astria and Ian Astria, and watch Perian Astria for a while.”
“All right. your majesty.”
“Then the meeting will end here.”
So the people in the meeting room got up.
“Hmmm.”
“Is it time for a generation to change?”
The nobles who got up from the conference hall chatted among themselves.
This was a back story about Perian.
He was a perian who was scorned by the emperor and almost received punishment.
So it could be said that his status was completely dead.
However, his expression did not change.
Hearing such sarcasm was only humbling.
The nobles thought they would react that way because they were going to retire anyway, but there was another idea in Perian’s head.
Spirit magic in the Astrian Territory.
He thought of doing research on it.
‘I can hear this sound a hundred times. As long as the research proceeds properly.’
Perian thought so and left his seat and headed for the mansion.
***
that time.
“Now leave your seat. Damn children.”
There was a man walking down a dark road spitting out swear words.
A man wearing a hood and covering his body and face.
His body was covered in blood and dust.
A man who fought a war between the rebels and the imperial army.
I used a lot of energy, and because I ran non-stop, I lost a lot of stamina.
‘Yes, you can’t miss the opportunity.’
Now was a great opportunity.
Perian Astria is absent.
Damon of the rebels is also busy with work.
Since the rebels have been defeated, there is no need to worry about anything else.
So there was no one to stop it.
Now, here, in the Astrian estate, the man was Rudy’s teacher, Robert.
He has now arrived at the Astria estate where the necromancers are gathered.
