Chapter 22
5. Continued Will of Fire – 02
“Please sit here.”
A large room of the grand duke’s family that Reiner gave to use as a space to learn magic.
There was nothing in the room, it was literally empty. Such a place that can go beyond the level of something empty and even be called desolate.
Say sat quietly in the middle of the room, in a calm and undisturbed posture.
“…..”
And Cirilla saw the sight and involuntarily stopped her breathing. For she was afraid that the sound of her exhalation would break the sight she was looking at.
Looking at Sei, who created a clean atmosphere in this empty room just by sitting still, Cirilla had an outrageous thought without realizing it.
It is said that Sei’s appearance now is even more angelic and even more beautiful than just before, when Sei spread her wings, which she had been hiding as proof of being an Elyos.
“… Cirilla? Why?”
“Oh, no. I’m sorry, sister.”
The moment Cirilla utters her words, a spell is broken. And, seeing the sight of the room restored to its original state, Cirilla felt something unsatisfying.
The scene from just now wouldn’t have been easy to appreciate, even if it cost tens of millions of dollars.
Leaving behind the slight regret welling up in her heart, Cirilla coolly sat down in front of her, where Sei had pointed him to sit.
“As Master told Cirilla earlier, I want to teach you magic.”
With her words, Sei slightly raised her own right hand.
Hwaruk.
In an instant, a flame formed on Sei’s right hand, and the flame turned into wind, which then changed into cold air, and the cold air changed from thunderbolt to earth, and then returned to flame again.
It took only one second to reach this point. Cirilla stared in awe at the spectacle, which she could almost call an art.
It was beautiful. Although she was Cirilla, who knew nothing about her magic, she could not easily recognize how sophisticated and artistic the process of transforming a pure element in nature into another element was. There was.
“Although she is crude, she can still use moderate magic as she has spent a considerable amount of time in the material world. That’s why, Cirilla, I’m confident that I’m not lacking enough to teach you as a decent wizard.”
“… Uh, but if my sister has this level of skill, why do I need to learn magic? That… Even if she had to use magic, her sister would be able to solve everything with a bang… “
According to Reiner’s words, there’s only three years left until everything comes to an end.
At first glance, three years is quite long, but at the same time, from the point of view of ‘learning’ something, it was an extremely short time.
Actually, at the Magic Tower, it took at least 10 years to grow into a wizard who could do his part.
However, at Cirilla’s words, Sei calmly shook her head.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not in a position to use magic recklessly in front of others.”
“Why?”
“Because I am an Elyos.”
Flutter.
The wings spread out from Sei’s back again. It wasn’t 6 wings like we saw earlier, but 2 wings like an ordinary angel.
“Cirilla, originally Elyos were not allowed to walk on the ground carelessly. Because the Elyos are servants of the Heavenly God, and they were created only to be His hands and feet.”
“But I am here like this. The reason is because I have a job entrusted to me by the Heavenly God.”
“What did the heavenly god tell you to do? What is it?”
“It’s a secret.”
Cirilla made a puzzled expression at Sei’s determined answer. But what can I do? The angel said it was a secret, so I have to do it.
“I can’t reveal everything to Cirilla. If there is one thing I can tell you, it is that it is a matter of extreme caution and secrecy. If possible, no one in the world should find out that I am present on earth.”
Actually, I’ve been caught a few times already, but that’s unavoidable. Sei smiled bitterly.
“But you casually told me and Yuri that you are an Elyos, right?”
“That’s because you and Yurika serve the Master, the apostle of the stars. If you are like that, I can trust and trust you more than anyone else.”
I don’t know if it’s anyone else, but I can trust anyone related to my master.
“The magic I use is basically the magic that has gone through the process of replacing the divine magic unique to the Elyos as the magic of the material world. It may not be possible to use such small-scale magic, but the use of magic that acts on the world itself, such as great miracle magic, would be impossible for me now.”
Because if she uses magic that touches the fundamental laws by accessing the world like great miracle magic, the ‘object’ Sei has been pursuing for hundreds of years will immediately notice that she has descended into the material world.
“And please don’t judge me by mere human magic systems. I am not a trivial wizard to the extent of being caught up in the yoke of time and flustered.”
Just right.
As Sei snaps her fingers, magic circles begin to appear in various places in the empty room. And Cirilla was able to instinctively recognize those magic circles. Even if you don’t know it, those magic circles play a role in distorting the inside and outside of this room.
“As long as you live in this space, the relative time between the outside world and the inside of this space will be infinitely different. Will suffice.”
As Reiner said, if Cirilla was truly born with a gift from heaven, then the reason she can’t use magic right now is because she never had a chance to encounter magic.
“Then, it seems that your curiosity has been answered, so let’s start the class in earnest. Even though we don’t need to be bound by time, that doesn’t mean we can waste time indefinitely.”
At Sei’s words, Cirilla asked her a question in a serious voice that was different from before.
“Sei-sister, what kind of magic are you planning to teach me? And what kind of magic should I learn?”
The boy whom she trusts and trusts more than anyone else in the world said this.
She says she is the heavenly princess in the future she foresaw. She said that as far as she knew, there was no one in this world who could surpass the magic you were born with.
When she heard those words from the young master, she felt that Cirilla’s feelings were not joy that she had such great talent latent in her, but some kind of anxiety.
Say said. After being chosen as the ‘Apostle of the Stars’, Bocchan, it is said that she has the ability to foresee the future of this world.
And in her judgment, the fact that she could see into the future and figure out what was going to happen in the future was truly an omnipotent power that was unmatched in this world.
For a person who knows everything that will happen in the future, a true crisis is a rare occurrence.
However, such an omnipotent person smiled woefully at her and begged her. Please be with me, can you be my strength? In the future I’m walking forward, can you help me?
I realized. He does not know what will happen in the future, but the people he will fight against are like huge disasters that are difficult to overcome with human power.
That’s why you need strength. No matter what threats in this world come, no matter what kind of power oppresses him, a powerful force that can shake off all of them and protect him.
For that, she could do anything.
“I intend to teach you everything.”
As Sei snaps his fingers once more, the scenery around him changes once more.
All the knowledge in the world existed in the field of vision reflected in Cirilla’s eyes.
From the reason why the sun rises and the moon sets, why humans cycle through life and death, the movement of stars and celestial bodies, and the fundamental principles hidden by nature itself.

Say literally, tells Cirilla the source of the world and… I was going to present the truth that encompasses him.
“You will be able to learn everything from me and put it into reality. And if you stand at the end, there will be no such thing as impossible for you. Of course, Cirilla, if you can accept all of me.”
I know. The fact that if Cirilla were to stray from her path, she might literally become a demon in the sky.
If that happens, the world will face something greater than all the catastrophes since recorded history put together.
But at the same time, she believes in the Apostle of the Stars. And she trusts him to whom she is loyal, even to her own soul, whom she chooses to serve as her master.
He will surely show her Cirilla her right future and lead her to a better future for her.
But none of that had anything to do with Cirilla. At this moment, Cirilla wanted only one thing.
“…I want power. Strong power to stand side by side with the young master and burn all enemies who stand in his way.”
“That, too, will come true as you wish.”
Wow.
The next moment, the room is dyed black. No, it wasn’t dyed black. It was just that the flow of energy floating on Sei’s hand rotated violently, taking the form of darkness that seemed to absorb light before.
“Cirilla, you are determined to pursue absolute power. To you, this technology is the crystallization of what you are pursuing.”
The magic power on Sei’s left hand and the energy on his right hand begin to cross each other.
The two energies, which are known to never be able to mix with each other, began to fuse very naturally, as if it had to have been so from the beginning, and after an endless cycle, they began to become one transcendent and destructive power.
“The fusion of energy and magic. And at the end, the caster’s deviation from the material world… Although I haven’t completed this technique, Cirilla, you can do it.”
Seeing the light of transcendence hovering around Sei’s fingertips, Cirilla trembled without realizing it.
I know. Beyond logic and intuition, beyond understanding, Cirilla realized. He has that light, and that power of destruction… I know somehow
It transcended all time and space, and it was something like a destiny engraved in her soul itself.
“That… The name of that technology, and… The identity of that light, what the hell is it?”
And Sei looked at Cirilla with her eyes closed and quietly opened her own mouth.
“The name of this technique is Heavenly Demon God.”
“This is the power of a heavenly demon that only Cirilla can master in this world.”
