Episode 97 – The Purge (2/2)

That’s because a nore scale battles, while the Purge engaged in many small-scale battles One of the reasons why the lands under the shi+eld didn’t have a true army was because there was no outside threat that could e-scale attack The other reason was the existence of the shi+eld that unconditionally protected the people under it

1449 years ago, the Great Mage Wars were abruptly halted due to a sudden spread of a terrible disease – the Ink The God Aegis Arite, the ancestor of the Arite faether and erected the shi+eld of Aegis – a large-scale spherical barrier that separated their land fro them to survive the calamity

After the disaster, all that was left of the previous civilizations populating the large continent of Halnea were ruins occupied by terrible erous wilderness outside the shi+eld was titled as the Forbidden zone where only the Purge and people with special pere could venture out to

The Purge were the greatly respected elites which excelled at coh Nelaira Helyot only joined the Purge after her Muni days, her combat prowess could not be underestimated

However, the reason why Kiel paid special attention to this person wasn’t because she joined the Purge – even though he did think that any elibu that could attain a high position in a field of work el deserved the ute to fight for her own path, different from what her family had planned for her, which resonated with his own private struggles

The reason why Kiel especially remembered Nelaira Helyot was because she beca classes related to the operation of the Purge Since Kiel had always been quite interested in the ured that he would be taking her classes sooner or later, therefore, he found her worth re

Kiel’s gaze didn’t linger on Nelaira for long, he continued his inspection of other participants The next face he didn’t recognize so he quickly moved on to the 6th participant

It was an argel with a wild air about hi out everywhere messily There were several strands of hair on top of his head that were especially eye-catching which were colored in a warm yellow similar to the color of his eyes

Judging by his glare and wild aura, Kiel would have thought hi, if it weren’t for his cute baby face that totally ruined the i any fear that he could have evoked

Kiel instantly recognized this strange person as Deora Thayn

The report stated that Deora Thayn was specialized in Teic and was especially proficient in using fire While Deora Thayn, as a member of the Thayn fa, his specialty wasn’t combat The only reason why he had applied for the battle type Muni exam was because there were no other exams that would allow him to demonstrate his peculiar abilities

There were several reasons why Kiel remembered this person Firstly, the report stated that Deora Thayn was currently an assistant professor at Muni teaching Teic related subjects While Kiel was not sure whether he would be taking any of his subjects, he still chose to remember his name

Secondly, Kiel chose to remember ic, for Kiel ever since his childhood despised fire the most The mere mention of fire made his blood boil

Lastly, as imprinted in Kiel’swith Deora Thayn: “Will explode if called ‘firecracker’”

The tip was so strange that it had left Kiel staring at the report du what that tip actually meant

Deora Thayn seeaze because his eyes locked with Kiel’s No words were spoken, but Kiel iaze would probably be along the lines of “What theare you looking at, punk??”

Kiel averted his eyes not wanting to inadvertently provoke a… firecracker, and he continued his scan There were only three people left that he hadn’t yet inspected

The 7th person was unfamiliar to Kiel, however, the person after that was extremely familiar to Kiel

It was a tall argel with a long and wild mane of dark red hair His hair was speckled with old No – those strands weren’t blond, they weren’t yellow – they were pure gold that shi+ned in the sunlight dazzlingly The eyes that accoolden as his hair Those eyes were so golden that they looked like they wereunder the sun

Those golden eyes both especially stood out against and greatly complihily handso body could make most females weak in the knees, and his powerful, thick aura screa “alpha-male” would conquer the rest

Theabout hi one feel inferior in every way He was like an e down on all mortals

The picture Kiel had seen in the report couldn’t co Zor Arite in person Nor could the e compare to those he had felt when he initially read about him

No, when he had initially read about Zor Arite, his body didn’t freeze like it froze right now, nor did his face turn this unsightly He also hadn’t gotten an urge to slaainst the wall out of frustration like he was feeling now

Out of all the powerful people I could have been pitted against, it had to be Zor Arite!

Zor freaking Arite!

Kiel couldn’t help but grit his teeth to stop hi out loud

He remembered this person especially clearly, and it wasn’t because he was an Arite, even though all Arites were considered as monsters not to be trifled with It also wasn’t because this person could use pure mana, like every other Arite

No The reason why this particular argel was deeply imprinted in Kiel’she sahen he opened Elaru’s book of people to watch out for

He was the first person mentioned in the book

And it wasn’t by accident

He was the first person mentioned because he was the most powerful one out of all the people in the report – the leader of the golden generation of Muni, the previous heir of the argel branch of the Arite fae

Not only that, but the person rote the report was very helpful in writing the advice for dealing with Zor Arite Kiel remembered that advice by heart, every and each word

Well, that’s because the entire advice consisted of a single word: “Forfeit”
