In the underground chamber beneath Count Ward's residence, the Magi remained motionless long after the battle had ended.
Gillian York turned to Marlow, who was looking at the book in his hands with a complicated look on his face, and couldn't help but ask:
"My Prince, that… that man, Nilrem… I mean, Lord Nilrem, he was truly a Mana Core Magus?"
Marlow closed his eyes and thought back to the conversation he'd once had with the wandering Magus in the palace courtyard, and all the times he had spoken ill of him within closed doors.
To think that a person, whom he had found so annoying, would actually turn out to be the one to save his life. And not just that, Nilrem had effectively saved the entire city from bloody destruction.
If a Mana Core-level undead existence had wreaked havoc in the capital, no one could tell for certain how much chaos would ensue. This was especially so given that both Maximillian and Bunosilo were away from the city.
