Chapter 106. Become a Butterfly (2)
Keter held out both palms.
In the right hand, come-
A mana sphere appeared in his left hand.
“I already know that you use both aura and mana at the same time. Is that how to kill a god? However, I am not blessed with an aura and mana at the same time.”
“I am not blessed either. And listen to the story to the end.”
match!
Keter clapped her hands.
Aura and Mana repel each other like magnets.
If you give it a shock like this, it should explode normally. However, no explosion occurred.
However, a brilliant light leaked through his fingers.
“This… … ?’”
Gyro’s eyes widened at the sight he was seeing for the first time in his life. Aura and mana are like fire and water. How can you not be surprised to see the sight of fire and water merging with each other?
Keter opened her hands. A white orb was formed in his hand.
Chizuzuzu means!
The white sphere created by fusion of aura and mana could not maintain its shape and collapsed from the inside and disappeared.
Kether, who had turned her hand, spoke of a taboo in this world.
“Call the power you showed me just ‘Nothing’. This power, which is a fusion of aura and mana, has only the advantages of the two characteristics, and no disadvantages. The size of the power is also overwhelming. Of course, you can’t get it for free. Come on Mana. Both need at least 100 years worth.”
“With that child’s power, can you kill a god?”
“No way. It should also serve as the level of a 7-star prime. My guess is that the 8-star Irregular refers to Prime with the power of Ain. And if you want to kill the queen, you have to reach a higher level, 9 stars, a level that is not even known. You need ‘Ain Sof (Unlimited)’, which is more than Ain’s power. This is all I know.”
“… Boss, where the hell did you learn the secret of such power?”
“Don’t ask me if you know I won’t tell you.”
“sorry. I’m so dumbfounded… I said something stupid.”
Gyro lowered his head and was silent for a long time.
Even during that spare time, Keter practiced self-injury training and waited patiently.
“The fact that I need Ajin means that it is impossible for me to kill God.”
“If it was impossible, I wouldn’t have told you it was possible. did you forget Saying that I am not blessed either. There is a way to make it artificially blessed.”
In a word, a blessed constitution refers to a body that has both aura and mana.
Keter explained that if you completely give up your acquired aura, you will be able to have both aura and mana at the same time.
Even so, Gyro shook his head.
“I don’t know when I’ll be able to build up 100 years worth of mana with Aura. I don’t know how long it will take, and even if I’ve created an Ajin, I don’t know if I’ll be able to reach the level of 7 stars.”
“Did you hope for a fluke like a magic sword? I don’t think there will be any. Aren’t you trying to eat your life too raw?”
“When I came across the shortcut called the Demonic Sword, I couldn’t dare to go up the mountain road where I couldn’t see the top. It’s not even 8 stars, it’s only after 9 stars that it’s worth fighting the queen… What about monarchs? If you have the power of Ain on a 7-star Prime, is it worth winning?”
“Hmm, wait.”
The sword of the east that I had personally faced, ‘Dial that cuts the sky’, clearly used the power of Ain.
But it wasn’t his. It was an Ain borrowed from the outside.
Of course, Lillian is the only one who can lend Ain’s power to the Sword of the East.
In other words, even Dayal is not a perfect 8 star. Half 8 stars. It can be inferred that it is between the 7th and 8th stars.
If Dayal and 7-star Prime fight, Dayal using Ain will win unconditionally.

However, if you fight an 8-star Irregular, Dayar will lose. Because the Ain’s power he possesses is not his, but borrowed from outside. Obviously there will be limits.
So, are other lords like Dayal?
I don’t know that because even Keter hasn’t fought.
“If the monarch is alone, and there are four grandmasters who risk their lives to attract attention, it might be possible.”
“Looking at it, it seems realistically impossible. Why did the boss say there was a possibility in liqueur?”
“Because being able to get an Ajin isn’t just about knowing how to fuse Aura and Mana. It’s like going from a 5-star master to a 6-star grandmaster. It is an area that cannot be broken simply with the total amount of power. It is the realm of what is commonly referred to as enlightenment. You seem to have the potential to become an 8-star irregular.”
“Is the boss prime? I heard that when you become Prime, your body returns to its prime and does not age. Otherwise, there is no way you would know this much information.”
“What you’re curious about is my identity? Or how to get revenge?”
“It’s because I don’t think there’s any need for me to step forward if the boss is Prime and his goal is to kill Queen Lillian.”
Gyro felt so far away from the method Keter had told him, and his heart was broken. Even drunkenness did not bolster his courage.
Gyro’s growth stopped at 4 stars. It’s a state where you can’t even get a title. Moreover, he is over 60 years old.
It is absurd to start training again and challenge the 5-star master, 6-star grandmaster, and 7-star prime. In addition, the prerequisite must be that you throw away all your auras and start over.
Growing up so slowly, you can’t get revenge on the queen. Because time is equal for everyone.
As Gyro trains, the Queen also becomes stronger. Not only that, but this country will also become stronger. The 4th monarch may become the 6th monarch.
He was grateful that Keter rated him highly, but Gyro was not confident. Starting all over again, and becoming an 8-star irregular.
A desperate gyro is not weak. If anyone hears the words of Kether, their minds will collapse.
match!
Keter slapped Gyro on the cheek. At the sincere slap, Gyro’s head turned.
“Certainly, compared to the 4 Lords and Lillian, you are like a bug.”
“… … .”
Zyro, unable to refute, lowered his head.
Keter punched him in the side this time. No matter how hard he hit him, he rolled on the ground, unable to even budge from the attacks of the three men.
“say. I am a bug.”
Despite the insulting comments, Gyro muttered with dead eyes.
“I am a bug.”
“Then become a butterfly. Gyro.”
“… … !”
“A bug that crawls on the ground won’t even go unnoticed by Lillian. She will only be trampled to death by the feet of the four great lords who stand by her side. But if I become a butterfly, at least I’ll be able to face her face to face. Might be annoying if done well. If you’re lucky, you might be able to look down from time to time.”
Keter held out her hand.
“Insects just fight like worms.”
“… Heh.”
Gyro laughed.
Soon it became madness.
“hahahaha, hot hot hot! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Gyro did not hold Keter’s hand and stood up alone. Life was returning to his eyes.
“Isn’t that too much? Seeing people as bugs.”
“That’s what it says.”
“The boss saved my life twice.”
“They gave a lot of evidence that they wanted to live, so I had no choice but to throw a rope at them. You are the one holding the rope.”
“Ah, was that too? hot hot.”
Gyro sighed deeply as he slung the giant sword on his shoulder.
“I just thought of something to do. I’m itching to the arena of Adeus, the land of warriors. They said that even master level strongmen would risk their lives fighting there. If you go there, you can either die or become a 5-star master.”
“You don’t have to tell me.”
“If I somehow become a 5-star master, I will join the Twilight Guild. Do you know where it is?”
“know.”
Guild Twilight.
A guild of cursed arms owners. The total number is unknown, but from what I know there are probably eight or nine.
Although the number of members is small, it can be said that it is an elite guild that is more powerful than any other place because all of them are owners of cursed weapons.
‘Certainly, they have a high level of understanding of cursed weapons.’
I’ve fought two of them in a past life. I came to ask for my soul. The result, of course, killed them both.
Do you want to come to me in this life too?
Or will the future change because of the gyro?
“You know about Twilight, but don’t you stop me?”
The Twilight Guild is not just a group of owners of cursed weapons.
They are a global criminal organization. They commit all sorts of murder and plunder. The only difference is that the target is not a commoner, but an aristocrat.
The bounty on their heads alone is at least 500,000 gold, and the whole world is trying with their eyes on to catch Twilight.
“Gyro. I am not the kind of person who feels pity for poor, innocent humans dying.”
“I thought the boss was a hero.”
“Ha, are you crazy to hear the sound of a hero?”
“Then are you a villain?”
“no. I am me.”
“What can I say, but… It’s crazy, boss.”
“You have good guts in front of a madman.”
“Isn’t it a crazy boss and a crazy subordinate? Next time we meet, I will call you boss.”
“Come on, subordinate.”
Gyro put his left hand on his belly button and bowed deeply.
“Hello, boss.”
* * *
The day after Gyro left.
Undoubtedly, the morning sun rose, and Sephira was filled with unprecedented tension and busyness.
All troops, including soldiers and knights, were on strict alert, and retainers and servants also stayed in their assigned places. They remained quiet without even breathing.
As if even the world sympathizes with Sephira’s silence, not a handful of wind blows. The chirping of birds, the cry of insects. It was as if the world had stopped.
All of this is because Sephira’s conference hall has been opened.
It’s not just Keter preparing for the future.
Basil, the owner of the house, also made a bold decision to change Sephira’s future.
At this event where Sephira’s future is being discussed, all key members of the family must attend.
At the conference held for the first time in 20 years, the tension felt by Sephira’s retainers was indescribable. In the past, whenever a great conference was held, a new wind always blew through Sephira.
Key figures enter the conference hall one after another. The corridor leading to the conference hall was lined with members of the Galactic Knights.
Two galactic knights searched me in front of the gate of the conference hall. From head to groin to toe. No one was an exception. Elders Panir and Leganon were also searched.
After the body search is over, attendees dip their fingers in the clean well water they brought up at dawn and put it on their foreheads.
When the water drops on your forehead run down your chin, you swear while looking at the ceiling engraved with the names of your ancestors.
“I, Panir el Sephira, swear to my ancestors with a warm heart and a cold soul. Beyond this gate, I swear that I will speak only the truth and will not remain silent for the sake of Sephira’s well-being.”
When the oath of oath is over, you can finally enter the conference hall.
There were three silver tables in the conference hall.
In the center of the table at the head position, Basil, the head of the household, was seated, and the elders, Panir and Leganon, were seated on either side of him. There was one vacancy there, that of Elder Ricotta.
The heads of departments in charge of family administration were seated on the right side of the table of honor. Head of Finance Department, Head of Human Resources Department, Head of Agriculture Department. And Vulcanus, head of the workshop, filled the last position.
The knight commanders sat on the left.
The leader of the Holy Knights, the leader of the Galaxy Knights, and the leader of the Star Knights.
cooong!
The thick doors of the conference hall were closed, and soon the butler Sous Vide stood up to proceed.
“Twelve members, one vacant seat, eleven current staff. Count Basil El Sephira. Please declare the beginning of the great conference.”
Basil, dressed in black ceremonial clothes with a silver belt, tapped the heavy wooden board lightly with his gavel.
land, land.
A deep echo echoes through the conference hall. Then Basil spoke in a solemn voice.
“Let’s start the 92nd Great Conference.”
