"What happened here?"
The Three people, Conrad, flew to the wooden stake. This broken stake was probably the only thing with any discernible shape in this space.
As far as the eye could see, the ground was full of cracks, and even a large fissure had started to spew lava. The clear sky grew increasingly scorching, as if it would crack the entire earth.
"There must have been a battle here. The magical aura is so chaotic."
Edward frowned, carefully sensing the flow of magic in the space. This powerful and noisy magical residue gave him an unsettling feeling.
"Let's find that crazy woman first. We are Magic Emperors; what is there to be afraid of?"
Jester said arrogantly.
He had the right to be.
Conrad, who was in charge, was the 27th Magic Emperor of the Clover Kingdom, the predecessor of Julius.
Ten years ago, Conrad initiated a plan to destroy the Clover Kingdom and was sealed by Julius using Time Magic.
When the elves invaded, the moment Julius was killed by Licht, the seal could no longer be maintained, and he immediately broke free.
This time, he did not act rashly but formulated a detailed plan.
Through the emperor sword—Astdia, he sought out three Magic Emperors from previous generations who had unexpectedly "fallen asleep" to form a Magic Emperor team and collectively destroy the Clover Kingdom.
To establish a new order!
During this time, Conrad resurrected Edward, the 20th Magic Emperor who used Ice Wedge Magic, and Jester, the 16th Magic Emperor who used Barrier Magic.
Now they had come here to resurrect Princia, the 11th Magic Emperor, to add strength to their plan to destroy the Clover Kingdom.
These Magic Emperors shared one commonality: they were all persecuted by Royal Nobles and forced to step down.
Some even fell into a deep sleep because of it... "Come out."
Conrad pointed the emperor sword at the shattered wooden stake, and a blue light shot out, but the expected crystal coffin did not appear.
"Come out."
Conrad tried again, not believing it. Jester on the side was laughing so hard he was shaking: "27th, what exactly are you doing? This isn't your shooting range."
"Shut up."
Conrad was somewhat puzzled. Could it be that someone had gotten there first?
But only the emperor sword Astdia could summon the crystal coffin, so who could have taken it?
Adam, at this moment, was quietly approaching Conrad with Princia.
He had seen that legendary emperor sword in some books. It was a divine artifact that stored the magic and wisdom of past Magic Emperors, and also contained their souls.
If he used it as a weapon, it would be incredibly cool.
Adam used Snake's Formlessness to get close to Conrad, and while the Three people Magic Emperors were pondering why Princia had disappeared.
Adam grabbed the emperor sword, about to pull it away.
"Who?"
Several golden keys appeared around Conrad, and with a "crack," wind, lightning, fire... several elemental attacks blasted towards the emperor sword.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Adam immediately pushed Princia aside and revealed himself to continue fighting Conrad for the emperor sword.
"Who are you?"
The emperor sword also emitted a dazzling blue light, and Conrad, utterly bewildered, shouted at Adam.
"Give me the emperor sword. This thing is too deep for you to handle!"
Adam didn't respond, his whole body erupting in dazzling white light. With a loud "bang," he withstood the elemental magic attack, concentrating all his strength in his palm, pulling the sword hilt with Conrad, neither willing to yield.
"Princia, why did you resurrect early?"
Jester and Edward surrounded her. Princia took out her grimoire. She was still a bit confused, unsure what was going on.
"Should we help Conrad deal with that kid first?"
Although Edward was also a bit unclear about the situation, for the sake of their grand plan, they had to kill any obstructing enemies.
"Hmm."
Just as Edward and Jester took out their grimoires to attack Adam with magic, Princia immediately stepped in front of them.
The two had previously overlooked Princia, assuming she wouldn't side against the Magic Emperor team.
Unexpectedly, Princia directly blocked them, and a black and white chessboard had already appeared before them.
"Princia, don't forget the despicable actions of the Clover Royal Nobles. That boy's magic level must be that of a Clover royal. I hope you don't aid evil and instead join us in avenging ourselves against Clover."
Edward shouted.
Princia's body was out of her control, and even deep down, everything prioritized Adam's safety.
"Legion Magic, Purgatory Game!"
The chess pieces leaped from the chessboard, transforming into various magical soldiers, charging directly towards Edward and Jester.
"Barrier Magic, Polar Night Sanctuary!"
"Ice Wedge Magic, Absolute Freezing!"
A very special transparent material enveloped the Three people in a small space, the entire interior covered by ultra-low temperature ice magic, forming an ice prison.
"Twentieth, can you let me out?"
Not only was Princia shivering from the cold, but even Jester, her closest companion to Edward, was trembling from the cold.
"Quick battle!"
Edward created a giant ice castle that rose from the ground, emitting a beam of extreme freezing light towards Princia.
Wherever the deep blue light reached, the magical soldiers were instantly frozen into ice sculptures.
At this moment, Jester also compressed a barrier into a long spear and shot it towards Princia.
"I'll hit!"
Princia punched the spear away and charged directly towards Jester.
She needed to end the battle quickly. Fighting two Magic Emperors by herself was still too strenuous.
All the magical soldiers were frozen into ice sculptures, and the extreme freezing light began to sweep towards Princia.
Jester generated countless sharp fragments and shot them towards Princia.
"Queen's Shadow Warrior!"
There was no word for 'retreat' in Princia's dictionary. She summoned four more magical soldiers, their bodies covered in mecha, using the chess pieces as shields, constantly changing positions in the air as they approached Edward.
Edward was not as agile as Jester, making him Princia's first choice for a quick battle.
Edward and Jester would not let this woman have her way, constantly activating their magic to prevent Princia's advance.
They intended to wear this woman down and kill her here.
"Diligent ox, provide me with earth-shattering divine power."
Adam decided to change his strategy. He was starting to struggle against Conrad's magical offensive.
Better to have nothing himself than to let the enemy have it.
Adam, with the Ox's Divine Power pushed to its limit, moved his hand to the sword's blade. With a "crack," the emperor sword was actually broken by the two of them fighting over it.
"My sword!"
Conrad held the hilt of the emperor sword, with only one-third of the blade remaining.
The other two-thirds were now attached to a hilt created by Adam's magic.
"Kid, I'm going to kill you."
