As I approached Aurelian, he stood up unsteadily.

"You ...... do realize that this is my stage now?
"Haha, your stage?　Don't make me laugh. This is our stage. It's not a place for a prude like you.
That's my line.

　Aurelian smiles triumphantly.

　Hmm, there's magic all over this space.
　It's a kind of warding magic. The range is the entire capital.

I call this the "fair space".

　Aurelian continues as if to say.

I call it the Fair Space," Aurelian continued, "a modified version of a spell created by a demon god. If this magic is activated, all those within the result will be leveled. Even your life and death are in my hands.
"The Demon God created it?　I'm not sure what to make of it.

　I want to sigh.

It's too late to beg for your life.

　Aurelian's face twisted in anger, he held up his hand, and the air around us changed completely.
　And with that, the magic in me is being transformed.

You are now an equal.

　Aurelian grinned, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

　I see, that's it.
　Analyzing the magic formula, I understood.

"So you've equalized the strength of all the wizards ...... in the whole of King's Landing.
"That's what I meant. That's what I did. I equalized the power of all the wizards in the whole city and gave it to you. The world is unhappy because there are strong and weak. It's impossible for you to defeat me now that you only have the average strength of King's Landing at best.
You think you've beaten me with that?

　As long as I analyzed the magic power inside me.
　It seems that Aurelian is telling the truth.

　Aurelian deploys his magic formula.

"This time you will perish!

　Aurelian chanted, and launched an Efreet Flare around me.

""Kurt!"

　I heard the voices of Lara, Marise, and Cynthia, who were probably watching nearby.

　But what are the three of them worried about?
　This kind of magic is .......


It's just a child's plaything, after all.


　I used my warding magic to perfectly block the Efreet Flare and looked at Aurelian again.

"What the heck ......?

　Aurelian was stunned and opened his mouth.

What do you mean?　You're the average person in King's Landing, you're not supposed to be able to block my magic.
Have you ever heard of the term mid-range value?

　Averages are inevitably skewed when there is an outlier.
　The median, on the other hand, can represent the middle value without the influence of some outstanding entities.
　So what I'm saying is.

I should have used the median instead of the mean. The average for King's Landing was raised by me alone. Therefore, I still have enough strength to beat you at this level.
"Oh, no way!　You can't do that! How many people do you think are in King's Landing?　I'm sure you're not the only one.
That's what I mean in a nutshell.

　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.
　Aurelian is getting closer and closer to me, step by step.

But!　I'm not the only one with a deep hand.

The atmosphere of the Fair Space changed again.
　The surrounding scenery seemed to change into a mess, like paint mixed in water.

"Your magic power is indeed enormous. But that magic power. I'll take it from you.

　Aurelian points his palm at me.

　And my magic was absorbed by him.

It's easy to do this kind of thing in the Fair Space.

　While I was doing this, my magic power was slowly being transferred to Aurelian.

What do you think?　I'm going to take your magic and give it to you. I'll take your magic and gain even more power. I'll be able to take over this royal city ......, or even the world.
"Hmm.

　But you know what?
The magic of 《Fair Space》 itself is quite well done. There are many improvements, but to be able to manipulate your opponent's magic so freely...
　I'll pay my respects to it and go along with his plan.


"It'll take longer to suck all the power out of you if you do it little by little. Take more at once.




　I intentionally increased the amount of magic that was being sucked up and sent it to Aurelian.

　Then...

Aaahhhh!

　Aurelian screamed and sprawled on the ground.
　His body was in excruciating pain, and his mind must have been on the verge of collapse.

　Still, Aurelian looks up at me.

"What's this huge amount of magic power ......!　Is this what your magic is really like?
"What, you've only sent a tenth of it in and you've already given up? And you were going to take all my magic power with you?

　I was too stunned to say anything.
　Let's just say that ...... tried to suck my magic power and take it for itself.
　The problem is that if he accepts all my magic power, the container called Aurelian will collapse.
　More magic is not always better. If you don't control it well, it can get out of control.
　He was overconfident in himself.
　That's why he was so naive to think he could just accept my magic.

"Your head's too high.
Guh!

　I stomped on Aurelian's head with my right foot, who still couldn't stand up.

　He had stirred up so much trouble in the capital on the joyous "Culture Day".
　I think it's time for the finale.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

　I summon a new sword in my hand.

"That sword is ......!

　I heard Aurelian gulp.


　--Shel-abeth.


　It's a sword that's been in my hands for 500 years.

If I can't do it, I'll entrust this sword to Kurt at ....... I want you to use this sword to defeat the Fool King.

　Riley, I certainly appreciate your sentiment.

I'm not going to let that happen again.　"Oh, am I going to be beaten again?

　Aurelian is powerless to resist the glowing shell-elves I raise.
　Aurelian's body turned into particles of light, and he was slowly fading away.

Aurelian's body became a particle of light, and he was slowly disappearing.　I've been waiting 500 years for this! If it weren't for you, I would have taken over the world with this magic?　That's absurd. ......
What are you talking about?

　A flash.
　Aurelian's body was completely obliterated when he was sliced open by Shelley Beth.

　The last thing I said was.
　Finally, I said.

"You're a thousand years too young to challenge me.
