Varken found a book titled "The Ancient Forbidden" in the deepest corner of the library, which could only be opened by those of his bloodline. This book did not teach how to cast magic, but rather how to neutralize an opponent's magic with a single touch. Varken gathered his most trusted soldiers and spent days training them in this secret technique found within the pages. No longer just warriors, his soldiers had transformed into living shields that could "devour" magic.
When the day of battle arrived, Lyenne's army of Intent sent down massive fires and storms from the sky using the power of their imagination. However, Varken's soldiers used the special power they had learned from the book and raised their hands; every attack sent by the Intentionalists struck an invisible energy wall around the soldiers and instantly vanished. No matter how hard the Intentionalists tried, the soldiers continued to advance without taking a single wound.
By the time the soldiers reached the palace gates, Lyenne and Eren were stunned by what was happening. Varken's soldiers applied the final technique from the book, instantly draining the palace's entire energy source. Her magic extinguished, Lyenne fell to her knees, while the ancient spirit inside Eren grew weak and abandoned his body. Thanks to this secret book, Varken and his soldiers won a swift and decisive victory; the Empire of Intent collapsed, and order was restored to the Academy.
