Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

15 – 15.

“Now, let’s start with elemental magic.”

After following the Grand Duke, I took out my staff from the subspace for the first time in a long time.

“I will go.”

On the outside, she looks like a fragile beauty, but the true identity of the Grand Duke is a dragon.

There is no chance that my magic will reach you, so it won’t matter if I do my best.

I slowly aimed my staff at the Archduke.

“Are you not taking out the toy I showed you before?”

“I don’t think it will be useful for training, so I’m not taking it out.”

“Well thought out.”

After answering the Archduke, I concentrated and drew a huge magic circle.

One magic circle, one more, one more.

It took about three seconds for the magic circle to turn into ten and then back again.

It takes about 5 seconds for the hundred magic circles to gather in the first drawn magic circle and become one again.

After repeating this process five times, five highly condensed magic circles lined up in the form of spears in front of my eyes.

And I drew a magic circle once again in front of the five stretched magic circles.

The time it took to draw the new magic circle was longer than the combined time it took to draw all the previous magic circles.

“Winter. Jim wants you to show your cruelty here.”

After the short chanting, the last drawn magic circle glowed white and turned into a blizzard.

The blizzard passed through the magic circle drawn in advance,

After passing through the first magic circle, the snow that formed the blizzard froze one by one,

After passing through the second magic circle, each frozen snow became a spear of ice,

When it passed through the third magic circle, the coldness of the blizzard grew stronger and spread with the momentum to freeze everything.

The fourth magic circle gave each ice spear strengthening and acceleration,

The ice spears that passed through the last magic circle rushed toward the target I had set, antiaircraft, with the guidance magic applied.

“Fortunately, it hasn’t rusted too much.”

In front of the ice spear that filled his field of vision, the archduke spat out briefly as if willingly.

Tak.

You snapped your fingers.

It was just a small hand gesture, but it was enough to detonate all the ice spears I’ve ever created.

With a roaring air explosion, I prepared the next magic while watching the ice spear explode.

“The fury of the sky is also only a spear of burden.”

This time, lightning.

Hundreds of lightning bolts that burned quite a few knights with one branch were directed at the Archduke, but they did not reach them either.

“Okay, let’s try another magic this time.”

After that, I showed various magics such as strengthening, space, and barriers in front of the Grand Duke.

It felt like reviewing what I had already learned, rather than learning something new.

“Good. I was worried because I had to leave magic behind for a while, but I know you have talent.”

“Did I tell you I placed a spell… ?”

“Hmm, hmm! That’s not important!”

What is this dragon?

I’m not the type to bribe servants, so it’s probably magic.

I’ll have to say something to Crawl when I get back.

“Anyway! Her mother’s greatest pleasure is that you faithfully follow her mother’s teachings!”

“If it’s teaching, is it an incantation?”

Actually, if you’re a mage, it’s possible to skip quite a few incantations.

Nevertheless, the Archduke always emphasized that I should sing the chant when teaching me, so I consciously used the chant even briefly when using all magic, including auxiliary magic.

The Archduke seemed to like it.

“Yes, yes!”

This dragon strangely emphasized the importance of chanting.

Since I first learned magic, I had several artifacts that allowed me to skip chanting, and it didn’t take long for me to become a wizard and be able to skip chanting without tools, but he always emphasized to me not to forget chanting. I didn’t hear why.

“My dear, what do you think magic is?”

At the Grand Duke’s question, which suddenly changed his mood, I answered after thinking a little.

“Isn’t it an act of twisting the world using magic as a medium?”

“Twist, la. That’s not an incorrect expression. It is to arbitrarily do things that would not normally happen.”

If the masters’ aura embodies their images into reality, magic is the power that exists at the opposite point.

The power to understand the laws of this world and twist it as desired, instead of establishing the inner world.

“Thunderbolts strike where lightning would not normally strike, the immovable ground moves, and fire blooms where there is nothing to burn. By the way, have you ever thought about that ‘originally’?”

Feeling lightly dizzy at hearing a story I didn’t know come up again, I reflected on the question.

The magic of ‘Chien Chronicles’ was just an ability obtained by investing stats and skill points.

There may have been detailed settings, but I wasn’t the kind of person who cared about those things.

Of course, the magic I learned directly in this world was a little different, but even with that knowledge, it was difficult to answer that question easily.

“Isn’t it the order of the world to be ‘originally’?”

“Yes, it is natural. In other words, it is a law. Then, lady, when do you think the law came about?”

When did the laws of the world come into existence?

How would I know that?

I am not an archaeologist or a historian.

If this was Earth, I would have told you a verse from Genesis, but I couldn’t.

“Kiriya… is it?”

So the answer I came up with instead is Kiri, the god of light.

I didn’t study theology, so I didn’t know the doctrine of the holy kingdom.

“Well, half of the answer is correct. She also had a pretty big influence on her order.”

“Um… Where should I start talking?”

After a brief pause, she continued with a serious expression.

” Common Sense. Rule. Order. There are many names for it, but in fact not many truly know about it. I just vaguely know that it exists. Even the magicians who understand and twist that common sense do not fully understand it.”

“But think about it. Is there anything in this world without a cause? There must be a time and a reason why even human laws came into existence, but it makes no sense that there is no such thing as a law in the world.”

After catching his breath for a moment, the Grand Duke asked me a question again.

“How much do you know about the gods?”

—————————————————————————————

God.

‘Chien Chronicles’ is basically a fantasy worldview.

Of course, there are many gods, but with the exception of Kiriya, the god of light, all of them only mention one or two words and do not appear directly.

Forgotten temples and the like appear quite often as dungeons, and appear as one or two lines of mention there.

“Actually, I don’t know all that well.”

Since several generations ago, the relationship between the Empire and the Holy Kingdom has not been very good.

I don’t openly persecute religion, but I don’t respect it either.

So I don’t have any priests close to me, and I’ve never been taught catechism, so I know very little about the gods.

I know at least the names of the gods mentioned in the game, but it’s hard to say I know anything with just that.

“Well, it’s worth it. It’s been a long time since they disappeared from this land.”

“Humans, no. The intelligent beings on this earth generally pursue the light and avoid the darkness. Fearing death, praising life, seeing a duel and admiring it as honorable, seeing a massacre as cruel.”

“That… “

A story so obvious that you don’t need to give a reason.

But if you ask me why it’s natural… Why?

“The reason is very simple. For long ago, life defeated death, duel decapitated slaughter, and light dispelled darkness.”

“World Tree, Sarion, Kiriya… “

“Oh, aside from the World Tree and Kiriya, not many people remember Sarion’s name. “

Sarion is the name of an old god mentioned in the description of ‘Sarion’s Sword’, one of the ending class swords in ‘The Chronicles of Shien’.

“Anyway, the laws of this world originate from each god. It is not simply life and death, light and darkness, duels and slaughter.”

The Grand Duke raised one hand to make fire, make water, and blow wind.

“Fire, water, wind, earth, and lightning, all of these originate from their respective gods.”

“Well, actually, when and why they disappeared is not very important. The reason why the original woman told you this story is because it has something to do with you moving on to the next stage.”

“The next level, you mean the Great Mage.”

At my words, the Archduke nodded his head and said.”

“Um, um. Honey, have you ever thought about it? Unlike the master, why is the great mage clearly distinguished from the mage?”

A knight who is said to be the strongest in history and a knight who has just established an image are equally called masters. Why do only wizards clearly distinguish the stages?

Until now, I thought the difference was due to the characteristics of wizards who were close to scholars, unlike knights who were just physical.

“My dear, touch this.”

The Archduke put a small spark on his hand and said to me.

As I looked at the Archduke with suspicious eyes, the Archduke angrily urged me.

“Couldn’t the original woman harm you! Hurry!”

By the way, there are quite a few alixirs that treat burns in a funny way, so I followed the archduke’s words and reached out into the fire.
