Elf Dance Veil

Peters Kingdom.

Elder Kraf's gaze was grave. Even with an enormous mountain range separating them, the entire Elder Council could still clearly see the dazzling, fiery-gold radiance that had suddenly appeared on the horizon.

That light was like a colossal pillar holding up the heavens, plunging straight down from the sky and slamming viciously into the earth with unstoppable force.

Elder Strong asked in confusion, "That seems to be the Chaos Kingdom, doesn't it? I wonder what happened. Did their god successfully recover to its peak, or were they attacked by someone else?"

Whatever the case, before they had an answer, the entire Elder Council remained uneasy. None of them could sleep soundly.

However, they soon received an answer. The pillar of light had landed in the capital of the Chaos Kingdom, and that place had now become a scorched wasteland. Nothing remained.

Something huge had happened!

This had clearly been the work of some powerful mage. Elder Kraf did not know whether the Uruk Kingdom was responsible, but no matter what, the most important thing now was to quickly sever all ties with the Chaos Kingdom!

They immediately issued orders for all mages in the Chaos Kingdom to return home and stop involving themselves in the Chaos Kingdom's affairs.

Previously, they had seen that the Chaos Kingdom possessed the ability to manipulate people's hearts. After considering it, they had decided to form an alliance with them. Later, when they heard that their master was about to recover to the realm of an Archmage, they had even felt fortunate that they had made the right choice.

They had not expected the slap in the face to come so quickly. They did not even know who had destroyed the Chaos capital.

Many people saw the pillar of light that had appeared within the Chaos Kingdom, and the news spread rapidly.

Dean Ornis swiftly arrived at Hekate's Astrology Tower. The power of that pillar of light had exceeded everyone's imagination. As a Magus, he understood its terrifying might even more clearly. This was absolutely something only an Archmage could accomplish!

"Hekate, did you see what happened in the Chaos Kingdom?! That fiery-gold pillar of light standing between heaven and earth!" Dean Ornis asked with a solemn expression.

"I saw it."

Hekate spoke somewhat weakly.

She had not expected that skill to drain all the magic power from her body and consume several hundred years of her lifespan. Her breakthrough in Magic Level had also deducted one thousand years from her life. In such a short time, she had lost over a thousand years of lifespan. Who could withstand that?

Hekate felt as though stars were spinning all around her head, and she felt like she might faint at any moment.

"The power of that magic is simply beyond anything we can resist. The entire capital of the Chaos Kingdom vanished beneath it! Teacher Hekate, let's run!" Dean Ornis said with utter resolve. He had even prepared himself to abandon the entire Uruk Kingdom.

As long as the green hills remained, there would always be firewood to burn!

Hekate held her forehead with one hand and waved the other. "Stop panicking. I cast that magic."

Dean Ornis froze instantly, then burst into wild joy. "My heavens, Teacher Hekate, you've already become this powerful? Having you in the Uruk Kingdom is truly our greatest honor!"

As he spoke, the dean practically wanted to kneel down and lick her feet.

Licking the feet of the strong was not cowardice. It was knowing how to recognize the times!

"Stop putting so many titles on me. I just didn't like the look of them. They turned the surrounding kingdoms into a complete mess, so I merely delivered justice on heaven's behalf."

Dean Ornis immediately seized the opportunity and fawned, "Then I'll have the Uruk Kingdom's finest craftsmen carve a statue of you and announce your achievements to the entire world. You are a great figure whose name will never fade from the history of the Uruk Kingdom!"

Hekate was speechless. "No, no, no. I don't want to be so high-profile, and I don't care about achievements. I only want to cultivate in peace. If you publicize me and attract even more enemies for me, the losses will outweigh the gains."

"Don't admit that we destroyed the Chaos Kingdom's capital, either. Just quietly annex the lands of the surrounding kingdoms. Their governments have already collapsed anyway, so the annexation should not be difficult."

Hearing this, Dean Ornis calmed down.

"That's true. The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind; those who rise above others are always criticized by the masses. Keeping a low profile is the true way." Dean Ornis smiled and hurriedly arranged for people to annex the lands of the surrounding kingdoms.

Under his rule, the Uruk Kingdom's territory would expand to its greatest extent!

This was something that would be written in grand detail in the history of the Uruk Kingdom. Hekate might not care for fame, but he certainly did!

Dean Ornis felt an unparalleled radiance shining behind him. Though he was several hundred years old, he walked with the bouncing steps of a child as he left the Astrology Tower with a silly grin.

After the dean left, Hekate could no longer hold on and fainted.

The next day.

Hekate opened her eyes. Her dizziness had vanished, and she no longer felt any discomfort. She casually opened Gift of Fate and made her daily draw.

Duang~

Gift of Fate: You obtained a Rare-Tier close-fitting garment, Elf Dance Veil. Lost 500 Gold Pounds.

Oh, she had drawn equipment.

Five hundred Gold Pounds was nothing.

She had picked up who knew how many treasures through Deep Sea Call.

Accept the gift.

A thin, translucent gauze garment appeared in her hands.

A few black lines appeared on Hekate's forehead. This thing looked a lot like the sexy lingerie from Earth.

Still, its effect was to accelerate magic power recovery, which was quite good.

After hesitating for a while, she put it on anyway.

It was worn underneath, so no one could see it. Besides, even if someone did, so what? She was a woman now.

At that thought, Hekate silently sighed.

For some reason, whenever she thought about how she was already a woman, with so many beautiful women around her, a quiet sorrow welled up inside her.

Perhaps this was what it meant to only realize something's worth after losing it.

After feeling gloomy for a moment, Hekate stood up.

Her attack on the Chaos capital yesterday had merely been to test the power of that skill. She had not resonated with Soviel in order to attack others.

Hekate activated all her Resonance Stars. Seven tiny stars of different colors orbited around her.

"Resonance!"

First, she placed the magic framework she had previously designed, along with the server's operating magic runes, into Sun Star. That way, the signals enhanced by the sun could spread across the entire world.

Moreover, with this server, the Magic Crystal Phone could save the magic runes used for storage and leave the sun responsible for storing everything.

After finishing this, Hekate took out a blank magic crystal and inscribed the designed magic runes into it. Half a day later, the inscription was complete. She then infused it with magic power, and the magic runes began operating smoothly. The heat generation was greatly reduced!

Although there was still plenty of room for optimization, reaching this point was already very good.
