Nameless King

Blind Sorcerer studied the barrier with Kaya’s help. He examined every detail but didn’t touch the barrier. It was still too early to try to break through the gate.

‘Huh, that turned out to be harder than I thought. Does the Chief Elder really specialize in making barriers? The Elder was able to create the best castle, though it should be since it’s the most valuable treasury.” Blind Sorcerer inwardly muttered.

It took him a few hours to study the barrier and figure out how he could break it down. Blind Sorcerer had a lot of experience in this, so for this, he hypnotized Ron and Kaya. They possessed powers perfect for destabilizing barriers. 𝑏𝘥𝘰𝑣𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

‘Okay, time to go.’ Blind Sorcerer thought.

Kaya took one last look at the barrier and turned around.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Suddenly the space shuddered, and purple electrical discharges appeared in the air. Kaya instinctively had goosebumps all over her body, trembling with fear as if she had encountered something terrifying.

Crackling.

A portal opened in the air. A tall man in a black robe with long purple hair and green eyes emerged from it. He had amethyst earrings and a tear tattoo under his left eye.

“Hmm? A child? What are you doing here? You’re an academy student. Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping right now?” The man said in a thoughtful manner.

‘What a powerful aura… I see, it’s him, Claus Olden, Chief Elder or Head of the Academy…’ Blind Sorcerer muttered inwardly.

Claus was the only one in the academy who could give Blind Sorcerer trouble. He was an unusually strong mage. Even the Elders were no stronger than an average student compared to him.

‘He would have no trouble noticing that Kaya is under hypnosis… Good, in that case, I’ll do just that.’ Blind Sorcerer shook his head.

“What…?” Kaya muttered, “Where am I?”

Suddenly Kaya looked like she was lost. She looked around, her gaze aloof and slightly blank. Then she saw Claus and flinched.

“You are… I’m sorry I didn’t greet you!” Kaya bowed low.

“Don’t be.” Claus waved his hand, “How did you get in here? You know this is a restricted area for students and teachers, don’t you?”

“Yes… I’m sorry… I can’t answer your question.” Kaya lowered her head.

“Hmm… Apparently you’re sleepwalking. Well, go back to your room and don’t come here again. Next time I’ll have to punish you. I hope you understand that.” Claus said calmly.

“Of course, I’m sorry, I don’t know how I got in here.” Kaya bowed as she left.

Claus stared intently at her back but ended up doing nothing. It was rare, but it wasn’t the first time a student had entered the forbidden area. Most of the time, it was due to curiosity. Claus understood that, so for the first time, he forgave such students.

‘There are too many inquisitive students this year… Eh, being Head of the Academy is harder than I imagined.’ Claus shook his head as he disappeared.

…

‘Good, everything went as planned.’ Blind Sorcerer smiled.

He knew that a lost apprentice would not make Claus suspicious, but the situation would have been very different if he had gone there. Claus was a wise man, there was no way he would have let Blind Sorcerer leave there alive.

‘Clearly, he doesn’t just need these two to break the barrier, but they’re also his cover. Damn, isn’t it immoral to use these kids like this?’ Wain chuckled.

It took him a long time to figure out exactly what the Blind Sorcerer was going to do, but now everything was falling into place and moving toward a climax.

…

The next day, Blind Sorcerer didn’t have classes. His class needed to rest after what happened, and so did he.

In the meantime, he was preparing to break into the barrier. Kaya and Ron were the two main elements, but that was only part of the plan.

“Good, that should be enough.” Blind Sorcerer muttered.

On the table in front of him were several scrolls and magical artifacts. One thing stood out. It was a dark, bloody ring. It gave off a strong smell of blood and an eerie aura. Also next to the ring was a gray coin with a picture of an open jaw. These were his main trumps.

The light from the blue moon shone through the window, and the ring on Blind Sorcerer’s finger shone brightly. The objects disappeared, and he left the room.

After a while, Ron and Kaya joined him, Skeleton approached the academy, waiting for Blind Sorcerer to start what he had been waiting for for so long finally.

“As soon as we break the barrier, run away at once. Claus won’t feel sorry for you because you’re apprentices. He’ll kill you if possible.” Blind Sorcerer muttered.

Ron and Kaya nodded.

After a while, they entered the spire, and Blind Sorcerer immediately began to act.

He placed several pentagram-shaped scrolls on the barrier. The symbols shone brightly on the scrolls, pressure came down on the barrier, it shuddered, but it wasn’t enough.

Whooooosh.

Several artifacts appeared beside the Blind Sorcerer. They headed toward the barrier like meteors.

“Good. Ron, Kaya, go!” Blind Sorcerer exclaimed as he created a huge magical circle.

Ron and Kaya used their most powerful spells. Ron created a massive gravity spear, it was so heavy it attracted other objects to it. Pieces of stone flew out of the walls and soared next to the spear, like asteroids around a planet.

Kaya used electricity and ice to create four crystals; they pointed in one direction.

“Attack!” Blind Sorcerer exclaimed.

Ron threw his spear, lightning rays flew out of the ice crystals, and a huge laser appeared from the magic circle. It all simultaneously attacked the barrier at one point.

The barrier tried to resist and recover, but the scrolls and artifacts prevented it from doing so.

Many cracks appeared across the barrier, and it exploded. Waves of energy spread apart that destroyed part of the spire. The explosion tossed Ron and Kaya aside, and they hit the solid walls and passed out.

“I’m finally here.” Blind Sorcerer muttered.
