Chapter 14
Far away—
In places Rudeus had never seen—
Something shifted.
A high-level mage paused mid-study.
"…That disturbance…"
A warrior frowned at the sky.
"…That wasn't natural."
A noble overseeing magical research looked up.
"…Someone used high-tier magic…"
None of them knew where.
None of them knew who.
But they all felt it.
Because Emperor-tier magic—
Could not be hidden.
And Rudeus—
Had used it casually.
"…Something has appeared."
That conclusion spread—
Quietly.
But inevitably.
