(EP-132.2) Nova #3

132 – Ars Nova #3

As I lowered my hostility, Professor Balan started to spill what she knew.

“When, when I woke up, it was already like this. My head was only filled with thoughts of rallying the army again for the resurrection of the King. And, eliminate the traitors….”

“So that’s why you attacked the Draco Family?”

“Hah, those Draco scoundrels are traitors. Filthy scums who betrayed the King. They don’t know loyalty nor honor, just a bunch of tail-cutting lizards.”

Professor Balan was filled with anger towards the Draco Family. On the other hand, she also spoke to me about how much effort she had put into the revival of Angmar.

Seems like she’s more loyal than I thought.

“It’s not just the Draco scoundrels who betrayed us, King’s descendant. There is a traitor among those guys! I am certain of it.”

“Those guys? A traitor?”

Who are you talking about?

I couldn’t figure it out. However, in a true Professor fashion, Balan skillfully pointed out the parts that I couldn’t understand.

“The King’s descendant, do you not know at all? The betrayal of that day? The agonising cry of pain while being torn to shreds…?”

“I don’t know.”

Seureuruek.

Balan’s cold hands grabbed my cheeks.

Then, with great regret, she burst into tears which horrifyingly smeared her dark makeup.

“You don’t know? It can’t be, you’re really like a dull nymph…?”

‘… Dull nymph, you’re insulting me now!?’

Without giving me a chance to object, Balan continued rambling, mainly revolving around how great Demon King Angmar was and how much of a transcendent Mage he was.

“The so called Mages of the present are not worthy of such a title…, they are not Mages, ah, nay! They are just a bunch of fakes playing childish games. There is only one true Mage, now and forever.”

“Hmm.”

“In particular, his 72 magical creations are the epitome of truth in this world. And among them, the most noteworthy of all is none other than Gamigin—.”

“Heung….”

Thinking I might hear nothing but praises for Solomon till morning if I let this continue, I decided to cut the conversation short.

“So, who betrayed whom and how?”

Hearing my question, Balan gritted her teeth.

“It’s them. There was a traitor among us. How dare a servant who was granted the will by the great King betray him-.”

“You mean one of the Ars Nova betrayed you?”

“That’s right. Exactly that. Perhaps it was due to the influence of the volatile human emotions, or simply, they harbored impure thoughts-.”

Among the 72 magics that Solomon created, the last four spells were so powerful that they have their own will; able to use a human vessel of their own.

They were called – Ars Nova. They were like the 4 Heavenly Kings under their creator, the Demon King.

But one of them betrayed their creator at the decisive moment, and in the end, King Solomon was torn to pieces by the heroes of the four families.

“Hmm.”

Now, my lingering doubts had been cleared up.

Even if the heroes of the four families were strong, could they really defeat King Solomon, who had achieved the mythical Rank 10?

But if it was Solomon’s own sword that pierced him, things would start making sense.

“King’s descendant, a problem arises here. I, Balan Sabrnak, can feel the presence of my siblings. It’s not just me, but the other Ars Nova have also been unleashed into the world.”

“Are they also pretending to be human like Professor Balan?”

“Yes, it’s highly probable. Agares, seems to be sealed in the Saintess, but the other two….”

“Can you locate their whereabouts?”

“If it were the great me of the past, it might have been possible. But as the current Balan Sabrnak, I am unable to. However, they also wouldn’t be able to recognize me.”

“But among them, there is a traitor, right? Doesn’t that mean my life could be in danger? The traitor could target me.”

“That’s an excellent conclusion. But seeing that you are still alive, it seems that they haven’t caught on yet. I must say, this is a splendid disguise. A Half-fairy… No one would ever think of it.”

“Then how did Professor Balan deduce my identity?”

“Unless you have an intense magical exchange like we did, they shouldn’t be able to discern your true identity.”

It was a perfect disguise — Professor Balan continued to praise my actions. It seemed that she was convinced that I was living as a Half-Fairy to hide my Angmar blood.

“And with the body of a weak and clumsy Half-Fairy, you even managed to seduce the maidens of the Draco and Lioness Families. I, Balan Sabrnak, am deeply impressed.”

“They will give birth to many Angmar offspring.”

“An, and then after using them as sows, you’ll behead them and display their heads at the castle gates! Indeed, no one else could’ve ever thought of such a revenge.”

“… Behead?”

“By beheading then, wouldn’t the revenge be completed? An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. That’s the long-standing law of Angmar, heuheuheu-“

… Professor Balan seemed to be misunderstanding something. There was no reason for me to do such a horrific thing to Elga and Mirna.

“I have no intention of beheading them. That isn’t my revenge.”

“……?”

Professor Balan raised an eyebrow as if she was unable to comprehend my words. Then, she finally nodded, seemingly to have understood something.

“I-I will follow your great wisdom, as always. Well, it seems the time has come. I’m not sure if the others are paying attention to me. Please avoid prolonged contact with me.”

Seureuk.

Professor Balan got up from the sofa, and I got up from my seat as well.

But just as I was about to leave the room, Professor Balan said.

“Finding out that Agares is sealed within Saintess Priga’s body is a great achievement. I will try to find a way to extract them from her.”

“Even with a ruined body, there should be something I can do”—muttered Balan, with her words turning obscure at the end. It looked like she was planning on using her hypnotic magic.

More importantly, on the Saintess that had an Ars Nova sealed within.

I had an ominous premonition that if handled incorrectly, the Saintess might awaken as a boss like in the original.

“Don’t do anything unnecessary. From now on, report to me before taking any action.”

“Understood. You have become the reference point of my life, which felt like wandering aimlessly in the sea without a sail. I’m truly grateful that you have spared my life….”

“Then, see you later.”

“King’s descendant, since you just had close contact with me, it would be best to lay low for a while. Maybe for about two weeks….”

That was the end of the conversation.

Although there were some unsettling parts, ultimately, it could be said that I had gained a useful ally.
