Three days after the demon attack
Magic across the entire kingdom… stops.
No spells. No mana flow. No enchantments. No summoning. Nothing.
Even the academy's defensive arrays flicker out.
Panic spreads instantly.
Mages collapse trying to cast.
Artifacts turn to dead metal.
Princess Seraphina tries light magic
Nothing.
Her eyes widen.
That's impossible."Underground, Eryndor attempts to ignite his flame.
Nothing.
A dragon that old… without magic… is just flesh.
He growls.
This is wrong. This is not suppression. This is removal.Kael stands in the courtyard.
Perfectly fine.
He rolls his shoulders casually.
Seraphina notices immediately.
"Why are you unaffected?"
He looks at his hand.
Flexes it.
Because I don't use this world's system.
Silence.
The seal around his higher powers didn't weaken.
Because this world's magic wasn't touching him at all.presence reveals itself in the sky
No aura. No explosion.
Just a voice that overrides air.
Nihrex, The System Devourer
A being that feeds on magic systems.
It travels world to world.
Consumes the structure.
Leaves civilizations powerless.
This world is mine.
Mages are useless.
Knights are helpless.
Dragons are weakened.
Demons can't manifest.
Only one person stands unaffected.
Kael.Princess Seraphina looks at him slowly.
Realization settling in.
You're not bound to our rules are you
Kael gives a lazy half smile.
Not really.
Nihrex scans him.
Pauses.
For the first time
It senses something it cannot process.
You are… external.
Kael steps forward calmly.
Seal still active.
But this fight
Doesn't require world magic.
You picked the wrong world. Above the realm
Lyra leans forward.
Virelya's eyes shimmer.
The wives understand.
This isn't about power escalation.
This is about adaptability.
And Kael
He finally has an opponent who doesn't care about mana, status, or political drama.
Just survival.
