SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar



A massive, imposing golden statue stood before Kuzon.

It was at least fifty meters tall, though the power and authority it exuded made it appear even larger.

The small mountains and hills dwarfed in comparison to the sheer mass the construct had.

Made up of energy, and having a semi transparent form, despite the golden light that comprised it, the statue stood magnificently erect.

It had an emperor's robe, with a cape that fluttered with the harsh winds that blew. The massive crown that floated atop it's head like a halo also spun slowly.

It held a scepter on one hand, and a blade was locked in the hips closest its other hand.

'Looks like the First Prince and Princess are taking refuge in it's chest region. That should be where the defense is toughest, then...' Kuzon's thoughts echoed as he gazed upon the massive thing before him.

It's eyes glowed white, and it's lips were drawn in a frown, displaying disapproval. Its meaning brought a grim expectation to Kuzon.

However, despite the size and magnificent design the massive being had, there was one more thing Kuzon noticed.

No, perhaps it was the most important aspect to this whole thing.

'Its body is comprised of Aether. Every aspect of it...' It was the first time he had seen so much Aether gathered in one place and used by someone in this world.

'The first prince really is special, isn't he?'

"JUDGEMENT HAS COME." The deep, loud, thunderous, and authoritarian tone of the construct emerged, sending vibrations into the air.

Kuzon felt the very atmosphere shake in response to the voice, though he remained fine.

'Haha. Look at this monster. He's leagues above the others.' However, despite saying that, Kuzon couldn't help but smile to himself.

That was because, for the first time since he arrived at this world, he was meeting an actual challenge.

'Neron is not counted. There's no way I'm counting him.'

That 'man' would always be out of the equation whenever power was involved. And he used the term 'man' very loosely.

"Looks like I can't slack off too much, am I right?"

"DIE." The statue stretched it's scepter at Kuzon, preparing a high-density Aether blast.

'Hm. It's quite dangerous, that blast.' Having this thought, Kuzon decided it was time.for him to take action.

"[Marionette]." A bright idea instantly sparked in his mind as he watched his opponent's trump card. "Let's do something similar."

>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!<

The golden blast destroyed everything that separated it from Kuzon's location, busting up even the landscape that spread beneath.

Nothing was spared.

The destruction caused a massive quake to consume the area, and the golden explosion ascended to the sky.

However—

"[Marionette: Absolute Emperor Avatar]. Complete."

Emerging from the golden explosion was an entity that was made from Kuzon's multiple golden threads.

It was a hundred meters tall, about twice as large as the already massive construct that had manifested first.

It had neither cape now a royal robe. No, this avatar was actually dressed like a Wizard Mage, same as Kuzon.

It wasn't just the outfit. It seemed his complete appearance of was burned into the construct, making it a much larger replica of the original.

Of course, it was glowing in golden light, and unlike the semi-transparent body of its counterpart, this energy construct was too dense to reveal any such quality.

Other than the casing on it's chest that was tinted golden, barely enough for anyone to see through it, every other part of the Absolute Emperor's Avatar was simply shimmering in dense golden light.

"Haaa... I haven't tried this out before." Kuzon's voice echoed through the lips of his avatar as he lowered his gaze and looked at the First Prince's shorter construct.

"What do you think, Prince Kuzon?"

"...."

There was no response, but that didn't stop Kuzon from taking a step forward, donning a smile of absolute confidence.

"Do you still think you can kill me?"

'What the heck is that?!' The First Prince, Kuzon Midas, thought to himself, his jaws nearly dropping as he saw the massive construct before him.

Wasn't something like this unnatural? No, impossible!

'How much Divine Energy does he have?! How is he using so much!'

As the First Prince, he had been blessed with Divine Energy—same as the Emperor. That was the sign of their legitimacy to the throne. The closer a Royal was to the hierarchy, the more Divine Energy they would display.

Gloria Midas, for example, had Divine Energy, most of which were displayed the higher she went in her 'Gears'. His other siblings had fragments too, but nothing compared to his and the Emperor's.

'No... even father admitted that I have an unnatural amount of Divine Energy!'

Far more than any Emperor before them. Even his father's supply of Divine Energy paled in comparison to his.

In essence, he was the only one who could do something like this. It was what made his Original Magic so invincible.

No Spell could work against Divine Energy this dense and pure. He was invincible in this construct of his.

Plus, the destructive power it possessed, as well as the crippling pressure it emitted, made it the absolute greatest in the Midas Empire.

So why...?

Why did an illegitimate child have so much Divine Energy compared to him?

'Does that mean he's actually... the First Prince? No, he looks much younger than I am. But does that really matter?!'

In the Midas Empire, the one with the highest amount of Divine Energy was the rightful heir to the throne.

It just so happened that the firstborn children usually had the highest amount.

'B-but what if...! What if he's the one?!' Kuzon could feel himself shivering as the logic all came rushing into his brain.

'What should I do? Hand over the throne to hi—?'

His eyes instantly widened the moment that thought crossed his mind.

He remembered the slaughter the man before him had led, as well as the countless destruction he had wrought upon the Midas Empire.

'Someone like you isn't worthy! You're not worthy of the throne!' Kuzon Midas roared in his thoughts.

"The only one who can be Emperor... is ME!"
