The Spellcaster World Shaken!

"Collapse overnight, like the Molta Empire did over three thousand years ago? How is that possible?"

"Exactly. The Northern Spellcaster World and Osum have more than forty Archmages between them. What force could bring us down?"

The Archmages could not see where the threat would come from. They had not even grasped how dire the situation had become.

"Yes, more than forty Archmages. What formidable strength! But you've heard of the Holy Light Empire and the Light Church, haven't you? In the Holy Light Empire, Spellcasters are heretics, plain and simple. That is the threat! The source of it all is the Light Church!"

Merlin's words gave the Archmages pause. They immediately thought of the Light Church. It was powerful; one or two large Spellcaster Organizations alone could never stand against it.

The Light Church had at least a dozen Archmages of its own and had supposedly been left behind by a god. The Spellcasters, of course, did not believe in gods. They gained their power by unraveling the mysteries of the elements themselves.

For years, the Light Church and the Spellcasters had left each other in peace. On the few occasions when the church launched wars against heretics, the Black Moon Kingdom had stopped them. To these Spellcaster Organizations, those conflicts had seemed to belong to another world.

Could the Light Church threaten the entire Spellcaster World? The Archmages had their doubts.

Merlin sighed softly. If he had not come from the Void Realm and learned that the terrifying Light God Lord, a supreme existence, stood behind the Light Church, he probably would not have believed it posed a threat to the Spellcaster World either.

"Enough. There's no need to argue. The Holy Light Empire and the Black Moon Kingdom are at war. The outcome will be decided soon.
