            <description><![CDATA[Vanusa stepped into the inner reaches of her bedchamber, drawing a deep, steadying breath as she narrowed her focus. Irene, unsettled by the inscrutable behavior, tightened her grip on her sword, her eyes tracking every movement of the woman whose identity and intentions remained a complete mystery. After a long moment of intense concentration, Vanusa finally let out a breath of relief and murmured…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Clark scrutinized his surroundings, his gaze shifting from the compass in his palm to the bleak horizon. Behind him, the vanguard soldiers—men pushed to their absolute limits—sat slumped on jagged rocks, sleeves rolled high to ward off the oppressive heat. Even the horses seemed mutinous, their frustrated snorts echoing in the heavy air. The river flowed just a few paces away, yet it offered…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[“Senior.” Cedric prodded Beric’s side with the tip of his wooden sword, wondering if the man had actually expired. There wasn&#8217;t so much as a flicker of life from the prone figure. It was baffling; Cedric was the one who had been run ragged the day before, yet it was Beric who looked like he’d been dragged through the underworld. “Senior, it’s time for…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[“Hmm?” A relief guard, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, let out a confused grunt. Usually, the night shift was desperate to scramble back to their barracks, yet here they were, huddled in a tight circle and whispering with such frantic intensity that they didn&#8217;t even notice his arrival. When he finally loomed over them to peer into the center of the huddle, the…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Silasque. The moment Ian heard Beric’s words, a fog seemed to lift from his mind. Right. I knew I’d smelled it before. That’s it. The crimson flower. It was the potted plant his mother had given him before his departure for the Great Desert; the sole means of saving Chieftain Winchen; the lingering trace that hinted at the connection between the illegitimate son Ian and…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The gallery owner stared at Ian with eyes half-glazed from drink. He had exotic features, a fairly robust build, and a distinctive beard woven into tight braids. Without a doubt, he was no native of Burgos. Ian pulled a chair over, sat across from him, and offered a calm smile. Even as he did, a faint, familiar scent wafted from the man—something he had…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[It was night—the hour when the mages, who had been sleeping soundly, began to stir one by one. Outside the window, a pale moon hung in the sky, though none could tell if a single day had passed or two. The mages sat up, massaging their aching backs. “Yawn. That was a good nap.” “What time is it?” “I’m more curious about what day it…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Tweller slowly wiped the blade of his axe with a dry cloth. The weapon was scarred with countless indelible stains of blood, yet remarkably, every single one was etched vividly into Tweller’s memory. Such was the inevitable fate of a warrior who lived by the blade. These marks were the very proof of his existence; how could he ever forget them? “Minister Tweller.” “What…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[“Good heavens&#8230;” The officials gathered in the briefing room let out troubled groans. The report Ian had submitted after returning from Karenna contained content that was nothing short of shocking. First, Toolun’s reach had taken deep root throughout various parts of Bariel. Second, his mother had met her end due to an ambush. And third, the defensive capabilities of the frontier bordering Hielo had…]]></description>

Or so everyone thought—except for the local residents who visited the royal palace to sell provisions and daily necessities. “…….” They froze in their tracks, staring up at a person dangling precariously from a massive chandelier. Judging by the long, flowing robes, he didn&#8217;t look like a low-level staffer, so what on earth was he doing up…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[“C-Cedric is a magic swordsman?” “I didn&#8217;t mishear that, did I?” If anything, those were the very words Cedric wanted to ask. Him, a magic swordsman? Were his ears playing tricks on him? But the mage standing before him remained firm, his gaze as resolute as a veteran doctor delivering a final, undeniable diagnosis. “Your name is Cedric?” “Yes, sir.” “Is every kid whose…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[We’re fucked. That was the only thought echoing through the minds of the Valizuad merchants and the vanguard soldiers the moment they laid eyes on Philea’s lifeless body. They didn&#8217;t even have the luxury to register the mages falling into a state of shocked mourning, nor could they focus on the sight of Ian, frozen as he cradled Philea in a long, harrowing embrace.…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Ian’s silence was absolute and enduring. From the moment he recovered Philea’s body and carried the unconscious Roel back to the Mayor’s manor, he had not uttered a single syllable. He simply sat there, spine rigid, his gaze fixed on the fading light of the sunset outside. Hale and Tommy exchanged worried glances, but they knew there was nothing they could do. “&#8230;Hale, Tommy.”…]]></description>

For a fleeting second, the terror etched into their faces was the look of those who had looked directly into the abyss of hell. In contrast, the local residents of Karenna watched with eyes full of curiosity—it had been a long time since they had…]]></description>

Right this way.” “Pass a message to the mages,” Ian instructed, his voice echoing lightly in the corridor. “Tell them to rest briefly and recover from their travel fatigue. Once they have settled, they are to resume their duties and draft their reports. I will personally brief His Majesty and the officials regarding Madam Darcy, so they must scrutinize her condition with…]]></description>

Observing him closely from the side, the bureaucrats instinctively shrank their necks, terrified that some grievous error had been discovered. He was an Emperor who never missed even the most microscopic mistake, possessing a terrifyingly flawless memory for even the slightest discrepancy in statements. To them, his calm, softly delivered reprimands were infinitely…]]></description>

Please, come inside!&#8221; The soldiers breathed a collective sigh of relief, scanning their surroundings as the Mayor of Karenna enthusiastically welcomed them. Although they had not yet fully entered the city limits, the atmosphere and the vibrant reactions of the populace were overwhelmingly more positive than they had anticipated. Offering a polite nod, the commanding officer stepped forward. &#8220;Are you Onyx, the Mayor…]]></description>

Completely swallowed by the dense, primordial forest, the entrance to the temple remained entirely hidden even from locals who had resided in the vicinity for decades. Even the wild beasts of the mountains were completely oblivious to its existence, mindlessly circling the perimeter without ever drawing near. Stepping out from…]]></description>

How could you—!&#8221; Viviana clasped her hands together, her voice trembling as she tried to pacify Philea&#8217;s blazing fury.

            <description><![CDATA[The absolute power structure of Toolun was meticulously divided among three distinct pillars: the King, the aristocratic bureaucrats who appointed the King, and the noble families of the Elementalists. The King solidified their absolute authority by commanding the terrifying puppeteers, while the Elementalists—masters of the primal forces—oversaw the pragmatic, day-to-day operations of the nation, including national defense, firefighting, and internal security. And finally, the…]]></description>

It&#8217;s moving around just fine.&#8221; The mages huddled closely together, muttering in deeply disturbed whispers. Inside the glass jar sloshed a viscous, translucent fluid.

            <description><![CDATA[A temporary retreat. At Ian’s command, the mages slowly began to pick themselves up. They staggered forward, step by agonizing step, reaching out to grasp a comrade’s arm, steadying a leaning waist, or sharing what little mana they had left. The strength one gave saved a friend, and that friend in turn saved another. Eventually, that cycle of support returned to the source, ensuring…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Ian took a shallow, steadying breath, like a warrior offering a final prayer before stepping into a furnace. He turned his head, his gaze meeting that of his doppelgänger, who was wearing a serene, guileless smile. Though the clone shared his exact likeness, its expression was radiant and entirely unburdened by care. Ian wondered how it could smile like that, knowing the nature of…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Leading the charge alongside his soldiers, Martin suddenly grasped the gravity of the situation. To his front, a magic swordsman was tearing through his ranks like a rabid dog. To his rear, a swarm of Bariel mages had descended, systematically unraveling his formations. And then— “……!” Madam Darcy had vanished, her body liquefying into nothingness. No, to be precise, she was gone, leaving only…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[&#8220;Ugh&#8230; gag.&#8221; One of the Ruswena soldiers could no longer contain himself and began to dry heave violently. It was an odor unlike any he had encountered in his entire life—far worse than the stench of rotting corpses. The soldiers huddled away, muffling their noses with their sleeves as they retreated step by step. Those further back, unaware of the situation, grumbled for them to…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[&#8220;Your Highness!&#8221; The Ruswena Royal Palace was in an uproar. It had only been a short while since the vanguard&#8217;s departure. Hearing the persistent calls of his ministers—calls that seemed to hunt him down day after day—Eldert removed his glasses, feeling a bone-deep fatigue. &#8220;What is the matter?&#8221; &#8220;A battle has erupted near the Mage&#8217;s Forest, Sire. It appears the mages of Bariel have…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[&#8220;…This is madness.&#8221; Tommy’s face went deathly pale as he muttered the words. Only moments ago, he had been locked in combat with this mage. Now, in a heartbeat, the man had invoked forbidden magic. The mage showed neither hesitation nor fear. It was as if the concept of the abyssal curse—the price every mage naturally dreaded—had never even crossed his mind. He had…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Tommy and Nakina were taken aback by the unexpected sight. Upon emerging from the painting, they found themselves in the corridor of an entirely vacant building. It appeared to be a hotel, yet not a single trace of human presence could be heard. Even the usual outdoor clamor was non-existent, despite the sun being high in the sky. Did we take a wrong turn?…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[With every slight tick of the clock hand within the magical array, Vitor’s groans grew deeper. He felt his body collapsing, unable to withstand the physical toll of the forbidden magic; he sensed the rot through every organ. His only hope for survival lay in severing Ian Hielo’s breath before the spell dissipated. Though blinded, Vitor frantically pawed at the dirt with all his…]]></description>

It was the first sunrise since Ian and Beric had entered the painting. Ian’s parting instruction—that if they didn&#8217;t return by the following day, something was likely wrong—gnawed at their minds. With synchronized sighs, the two rose and…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Observing Vitor up close, Ian silently analyzed his physical features. Is he an outsider? His facial structure was radically distinct not only from the citizens of Bariel’s neighboring countries but also from the Northerners residing in the frigid upper territories. While the horrific melting of his skin and hair undoubtedly contributed to his grotesque appearance, one thing was absolutely certain: he did not possess…]]></description>

Far in the distance, the dragons sent to reconnoiter the airspace above the Mage&#8217;s Forest had plummeted from the sky, ensnared by an inexplicable golden net. They had been accompanied by Black Armor knights, yet it was impossible to discern exactly what had transpired. The only…]]></description>
