An outcast dropout, surviving on the frontier and rising to become an S-ranked counter-magician.

The First Boundary City.

Silas was making his final preparations. The purpose of attacking the Warding City was its magic element. Releasing the Sefirot Tree would require a huge amount of magical elements. It would require many human sacrifices. This is the final stage of the plan. It is necessary to confine a special class anti-magician, or a first class anti-magician with comparable power, but that is Claudia's role. The generation of wards is her domain.

What, then, does Silas accomplish?

It is to break the warding that is the keystone of this ward city. Warding is something that has existed ever since humans built this city hundreds of years ago, and it is an absolute defense. Only humans are allowed inside these walls. Strictly speaking, if you don't possess even a small amount of human's magical form and unique domain, the Personal Field, you will be blocked by the warding. Although many humans don't know it, these wards are truly protecting humans from the demon race.

When Silas realized this fact, he was astonished. He wondered if such an elaborate ward existed in this world. Even on the demon's side, it is impossible for them to create wards of this scale, and of this high quality. And seven of them unfolded and kept it up. It was no mean feat.

He was currently transforming his existence into a human being. It was because of his ability to manipulate the magic element and the Personal Field 《Personal Field》 at will that Silas was able to hide in this ward city, but now he was in the guise of a completely different person. It was a security anti-magician. At first glance, it was nothing out of the ordinary. Then he reaches the front of the sanctuary after making sure there are no humans around.

''........here?''

Silas came to the door of the sanctuary. He knew that a function existed beyond this to maintain the wards. In the first place, he had rarely entered the sanctuary, even now that he was ranked first in the special class anti-magician order. Only once had he entered the sanctuary with Her Majesty the Queen. Even though he was ranked first in the Special Class Counter-Magician Order, he didn't know everything about humans.

And he had an answer to the question of what to do with this ward. It was impossible to destroy them from the outside in the first place. If it could be easily destroyed, humans would have been destroyed long ago. Yes, he concluded. And this answer is only possible because of him. No, strictly speaking, there was no need to change the figure itself. What the sanctuary is aware of is the magical form and the inherent domain 《Personal Field》. They were unique to royalty, and even only the queen could possess them, and even Silas took the time to copy them.

That's how long it took him nearly ten years....... He used the small amount of time he had spent in audience with Her Majesty to scrounge up the building blocks. Little by little, little by little, he continued to scrounge them up. Of course, there weren't many times when he would come to the royal castle and have an audience with her. So whenever Silas brought her into view, he continued to stare at her as if he could see through her essence. His ability is both an alteration and a copy of it. But its essence is the rewriting of its components. Therefore, you cannot transform without understanding those of your opponent.

After many years, he fully understood Her Majesty's Magical Form and Unique Domain 《Personal Field》.............and brought it under his control.

''It's.......open.

He held up his hand with a swoosh and the sanctuary opened its doors. There was uncertainty. There was no certainty in his mind that he would succeed completely. There was even the possibility of a trap or the door not opening. Nevertheless, Silas had won the bet.

''........''

When I walked in, there was a blank space. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing there. But his gaze was directed to the bright red sphere in the center.

(Is this the one controlling it...?)

Soon you will understand what you are controlling. It's a type of holy relic 《Relic》. There are relics 《relic》 on the demon's side as well, but I've never seen anything as elaborate as this one.

(Now let's destroy it...)

You may think so, but you will soon realize that it is impossible to destroy this Relic. In the first place, the Relic is not only for humans. It is a substitute that all living things cannot understand. Considering this possibility, he touched the sphere.

(Disarming........can it work........)

As soon as he touches it, he cuts off the flow of magic element that is connected to the Relic and the outside. Then he senses that the ward has been lifted, but he realizes that this is only a matter of time.

''I see........I see.......Even if it is cancelled, the specification will automatically return after a few hours......What kind of structure is that?''

Silas immediately sensed that magic element was flowing from that Relic, the Holy Relic. If this continued, this magic element would generate wards again. Of course, if he obstructed it all the way here, he could prevent the ward from regenerating, but he would now have to gather at the meeting as the first in the special class anti-magic master order. Moreover, he also plans to lock up all the special class anti-magicians there through Claudia's magic.

He couldn't just stand on his feet here.

Fortunately, we can break the wards for a few hours. That's enough. As soon as the warding is lifted, the demons have already been called in. Perhaps some individuals may have already invaded the interior.

''Hahaha... no, we haven't succeeded yet.

I can't help but smile. It is indeed funny when things go so well. The plan goes smoothly, as if someone told me to do so.

Then Silas leaves the sanctuary.

There was no more time to wait until the attack on the Warding City.
