Chapter 103.1

“You’re the next head of the family?”

Duke Alors looked at me in disbelief.

“You, of all people?!”

He shouted, his voice dripping with animosity. He couldn’t accept the reality before him, his body already battered and bruised.

“Someone of your lowly birth…!”

It was laughable that he would even question someone’s lineage in the three ducal families, where even a collateral family could become the head of the family if they received the head’s mark.

“I will take your power and give it to Pentas!”

He gathered a powerful magic in his fingertips.

“He has been raised as the perfect successor!”

His words made me frown.

Pentas Alors seemed too incompetent to be the perfect successor. Surely not.

“Was he not a puppet duke who lost the head’s mark and is now trying to manipulate the Alors ducal family?”

Even earlier, Pentas Alors seemed to be waiting for something. He should have joined forces with him to attack us, but he didn’t. That was why we lured Pentas Alors away. However, Pentas Alors managed to escape Argenta, as expected, though he didn’t join the battle.

“By the way, we subdued him on our way here.”

“What?”

Duke Alors raised an eyebrow.

“It seems he was waiting nearby.”

I wondered if the signals didn’t match?

My words contorted Duke Alors’s face.

“Surely he didn’t… he didn’t come because he was too arrogant…!”

He gritted his teeth.

“Stupid fool!”

Even though he had just called him the perfect successor, he was now changing his tune like a roller coaster.

“Anyway, I will fix all of this! You… you cannot become the head of the family!”

Duke Alors shouted, his wounded body emitting a blue light. He was drawing upon the power of the source. The magic he gathered in his fingertips became a powerful vortex, drawing in the water within the conference room.

“If you die, the head’s mark will naturally go to Pentas!”

More and more water gathered around Duke Alors. It felt as if even the water outside was being drawn in. As expected of a former head of the family, his skill in manipulating magic was exceptional.

Splash!

The water was churning violently, making it difficult to notice the rising water level.

If I didn’t have the power of water myself, I wouldn’t have been able to sense it. He was gathering the power of the source, intending to turn this place into an ocean and drown us in water.

He must have calculated that since I hadn’t been the head of the family for long, and he had been the head for a long time, his skill in manipulating water would be superior. However, his calculation would have been correct if I was still the weak Krua Alors that Duke Alors knew.

“I’m not like that incompetent fool who doesn’t know how to fight!”

By then, the water he had drawn from outside was up to his thighs—water that was hostile to us.

At that moment, I embraced Diello and released my magic.

Whoosh!

My blue magic collided with Duke Alors’s dark blue magic. As his magic, which had been dominating the water in the conference room, recoiled against mine, a large wave erupted as if violent waves had crashed into each other.

Crash!

But what if one wave was overwhelmingly larger than the other? The other wave would be swallowed up as if it never existed.

That was what happened to Duke Alors’s magic.

Even though he had released the power of the source, the difference in power was astonishing.

Clang!

Duke Alors’s magic, which had been enveloping the water, cracked.

“Ugh…!”

As the Duke stumbled from the force of the recoil, I completely seized control of the water.

“This is absurd!”

He shouted, but the water around him was already obeying its new master. I felt a strong sense of confidence, as though I were standing before the ocean.

…That I could overpower him.

Splash!

The water that stretched out imprisoned Duke Alors.

Just as he had done to me.

“….!”

His struggles created bubbles in the water. Duke Alors, who had been glaring at me with bloodshot eyes, gradually changed into a desperate expression as time passed.

“….!”

No matter how much Duke Alors struggled in the water, he couldn’t escape my magic.

I spoke to Diello, who had been watching me until then.

“Let’s finish this now.”

I took his hand.

“Show me a strong fire.”

A fire that would even drive away the steam.

Diello and I locked eyes. His blue eyes, which had seemed lost in the past, regained their light.

And then.

Crackle!

The water around us seemed to catch fire, and then a hot fire blazed on the sword in his hand as if oil had been poured on it. With each step he took, the water evaporated, creating a path.

Sizzle!

While the evaporating water emitted thick steam, the even stronger fire suppressed it. Diello approached Duke Alors and swung his sword. The afterimage of the burning sword pierced through the water.
