Ian calmly observed the battlefield.

Though wizards had the privilege of hanging back safely, this was an important battle and Ian's help might be needed at any moment.

The outcome seemed mostly decided already. The gates were broken and Sir Kanbento's soldiers were pouring in like a flood. Even Sir Salvador's special unit appeared to be performing well.

'Just need to capture Count Mokrick and head back,' Ian thought.

As he leisurely rode toward the castle, he hoped the enemies would surrender, but if they chose to fight to the death, he'd have to use magic again. For enemies with nowhere to run, magic would be lethal.

"Caw! Master!" Just then, Oberon fluttered down onto Ian's staff.

"What is it?"

"Monster! Monster!"

[I saw a huge monster!]

"..."

Ian frowned deeply. Why did something always have to go wrong?

"Inside the castle?"

[Yes!]

'Count Mokrick must have connections with black wizards,' Ian thought as he hurried forward.

The rebellion had seemed too reckless, but if black wizards were pulling strings behind the scenes, it made more sense.

Ian entered through the main gate and immediately felt something strange.

'This magic feels familiar...'

A massive half-human beast was rampaging inside. The mystery of transformation emanated from the monster - meaning it had been artificially transformed by magic.

"Keep your distance! Don't approach first!"

Knights had already surrounded the monster, led by Sir Salvador who had experience hunting monsters. Salvador, Belenka, and Sir Kanbento's movements stood out most, though Belenka's movements were somewhat sluggish. She must have been injured in the fighting.

"I-I hate fights like this!" The swordsman supporting Belenka was none other than Savage.

Savage displayed an oddly cowardly swordsmanship style, but through sheer coincidence proved excellent at keeping the monster in check.

The knights were holding firm, but that was all they could do.

"Argh!"

"Damn it! Fall back!"

The monster was too large and violent. Proper weapons were needed to face it. Swords were versatile against humans but merely adequate against monsters.

Ian immediately prepared his magic.

"[Spear of Flame!]"

[Using Skill: Spear of Flame]

A blazing fire spear appeared. Ian hurled it straight at the monster.

BOOM!

The fire spear struck true, but the monster kept moving with flames covering its body.

...Though it wasn't completely unscathed. As flesh melted and burned away, what lay beneath the skin was revealed.

"W-what is that!"

"Urgh...!"

Twisted human bodies were trapped beneath the monster's skin, packed in like sausages. The compressed humans were powering the monster's movements.

"Lady Mokrick!" someone screamed - one of Count Mokrick's knights.

Trembling like a madman, he cried out: "That's- that's Lady Mokrick!"

He had recognized the woman's face embedded in the monster's upper thigh.

"The young master is there too... and the nurse..."

Human faces floated beneath the peeled skin. They had one thing in common - they were all members of Count Mokrick's family.

"Now I understand how a mere human transformed into such a massive body," Ian's voice rang out ominously as he uncovered the horrific truth.

"This monster was made by fusing Count Mokrick's entire family together."

Ian continued: "That's why it's so huge."

"..."

Ian's eyes met those protruding from beneath the monster's torso. The man with dead fish-gray eyes was Count Mokrick himself.

"You've created quite something," Ian called out while preparing his next spell.

"Haven't you, Karenne?"

The monster's neck twisted 180 degrees. Embedded in the back of its head was the face of a beautiful woman Ian knew.

"Do you have some grudge against our society, Ian?!"

It was Karenne the Transmuter. She was the one who had fused Count Mokrick's family together.

Chaos is the power of black wizards. The more chaotic the world becomes, the more valuable magic becomes. When law and order break down, those with power naturally become kings.

The Transmuter Karenne had infiltrated Count Mokrick's domain on the Regent's orders.

'Theo of House Gremlin, you say?'

'Yes... he's being pursued by assassins...'

'Hmm. I can't ignore a noble's troubles. Open the gates.'

Using her "boyfriend" Theo as cover, Karenne met privately with Count Mokrick. She easily took control of the Count's body.

After possessing Count Mokrick, Karenne immediately declared independence and attempted rebellion.

Though the sudden declaration of independence baffled surrounding nobles and the Count's retainers alike...what could subordinates do when their lord had declared it?

Count Mokrick's castle was in the mountains, making it difficult for outside forces to approach. This made the Count's decisions absolute.

Thus began Count Mokrick's rebellion...though Karenne had no particular plans.

What could she accomplish with one tiny county? Her role was simply to be a thorn in the Emperor's side - prolonging the war and deepening conflicts between nobles!

Since Karenne only needed to help the Regent, she planned to keep playing Count Mokrick for a while.

But then...

'The wizard was defeated?'

'Yes... another wizard suddenly provoked him...'

The earth wizard Reize guarding the castle had been defeated.

By whom?

'It was a wizard called Ian...'

'!!!'

Karenne was dumbfounded.

Wizard Ian? That dark wizard?!

Why was his name coming up here?!

'Are you certain? Wizard Ian?'

'Yes, certainly.'

Karenne immediately exploded in fury...at Heavenly Wizard Bertholdt.

'You utterly incompetent fool! All talk and no action!'

Indeed. Bertholdt and Karenne had been given different missions, each using their specialties to carry out the Regent's orders in different places.

And Bertholdt's mission was...to bring Ian before the Regent.

But Ian appearing here meant that idiot Bertholdt had failed!

'My lord! The gates have been breached!'

The bad news arrived, but Karenne wasn't particularly disappointed. She'd expected this since hearing of Ian's arrival.

'Everything's gone wrong again! Damn it!'

Karenne immediately used whatever magic she could. She cast magic to fuse all of Count Mokrick's family together, centered on the Count's body.

Combining the whole family created quite a substantial mass. Karenne transformed the fused humans into a monstrous form.

She controlled the monster's body to fight the invaders.

"You've created quite something! Haven't you, Karenne!"

"Do you have some grudge against our society, Ian?!"

Karenne was sick of Ian.

Just what was his problem?! Why did he keep interfering with their society's work?!

'If I can eliminate him here...!'

Karenne moved to crush Ian.

But right then...

"Lord Wizard!"

"???"

A face attached to the monster's lower jaw called out.

Though startled, Ian recognized the face.

"Theo Gremlin?"

It was none other than Count Gremlin's son, Theo.

Ian hadn't known what happened to him after Karenne kidnapped him...but hearing him call out like this, he didn't seem completely broken at least.

"Save me! Please save me!"

"No, darling! Are you crazy?!"

Though Karenne cried out in shock, Theo wouldn't stop.

"Every moment alive is endless agony! I want to ascend to heaven and rest eternally! Lord Wizard!"

"Shut up! Darling! You'll pay for this later!"

"End my suffering!"

"..."

Ian retracted his assessment of Theo being unbroken. His condition seemed very precarious.

Suddenly the monster stopped moving.

Ian looked up at Theo. As part of the monster's composition, he might have some control over its body.

If so, Theo must be the one who stopped it now.

"Theo! Are you prepared?!"

"I am!"

"No! Darling!"

Ian called upon the mystery of devastation. The battlefield covered in blood and carnage was the perfect place for devastation to take root.

At the same time, he summoned the mystery of flame from the burning ground.

"[Flames of Devastation!]"

The monster had withstood normal fire magic...but how would it fare against infernal flames empowered by devastation!

Ian hurled the infernal flames at the monster's head.

"[Burn everything to ash!]"

A massive pillar of flame erupted with a blinding flash.

This was destructive power far beyond a normal fire wizard's magic - terrible flames crafted solely for devastation.

"Good heavens..."

Sir Kanbento crossed himself while shielding his face.

Though he had witnessed magic several times before, this power was incomparable to any other magic.

'Is this human ability? Or divine punishment from heaven?'

It seemed almost like the power of a god.

The monster, now a huge mass of meat, burned like a torch for a long time.

Enjoy the chappy!
