After saying goodbye to sard, Linus ordered link to absorb the iron essence, and completely absorbed the iron into space. Just as he removed restriction his body experienced a feeling of euphoria, he had surpassed his peak power from the previous life


    He was an tier 3 mage before, but was killed by angels plot, but who would have thought the heaven fragment will absorb their spiritual power and analyzed them to incorporate in inception. Which makes him even more powerful.


    “hey link, we have money right? we should go using the carriage”


    “master we have money but you shouldn''t waste time like this, and yes we have lost count of the two basic denomination ‘spark’, and ‘flamos’ which are used by commoners, as for ‘Ember’ and ‘Luxor’ there is still a billions of them stored in storehouse”


    “you are no fun link, anyway lets leave from here first”


    Linus summoned the bug, chaos wasp which specialized in disturbance of essence in surrounding so that no one can find what happened here than Linus created the rift and left. The prison room was once again surrounded with the silence and somber atmosphere


    Linus appeared a kilometer away from the city wall, yet the wall was visible from there, they were tall enough to easily stop a 25 meter beast. Linus used his spirit power to change his face shape to that of a sharp chinned man with cane in his hand and a silver hand-clock in his other hand he appeared as a certified noble. While wearing a double breasted court, He opened the clock and “the execution will be done in 10 minute.” Linus muttered to himself.


    Linus walked toward the city and entered the city of radiance and light Luminara, from the large iron gate which can be lowered using chains, though mostly used in wartime, and the city suffered last war almost 57 years ago, that must be the reason why the soldiers looked so lax as if nothing can happen, and this is the situation when a major event is happening inside. The soldiers casted strange gazes to Linus, as this was the first time they saw a noble passing through the city without any carriage, and without his steward and 10’s of servants, his suit also looked a little different.


    Linus didn’t care about soldier’s gazes and entered the city, he arrived at the carriage stand and asked to take him to a nearby inn, Linus sat inside awkwardly as the carriage men took glances at him repeatedly. Linus paid 4 sparks to travel 3 kilometer on a private carriage. The carriage-man was visibly disappointed as he saw Linus count the flamos coin in his hand than gave him a spark. Linus just chuckled, [how petty of you master] “what do you mean, did you not see how uncomfortable and awkward that whole ride was” said Linus righteously, clearly amusing himself from that poor man’s expression, [sigh ……], Linus sighed and turned around to stop the carriage men and tossed a Luxor his way than entered the inn.


    Linus walked the rowdy inn, everyone was talking loudly and drinking, Linus came to the counter and asked for a private room on 1st floor.


    “that will be 3 sparks deposit for 1st day than 2 sparks for subsequent days”


    “Linus took out 1 flamos and handed it to the receptionist than took the key and walked into his room”


    After entering the room he swiftly opened a rift and arrived in an alleyway near the town plaza where the execution will take place.


    “hey link say, should I save him?” [if master want to than go ahead] “ don’t spout nonsense why would I want to save him” Linus asked with a frown


    [master wouldn’t have asked me if you weren’t planning to save him, master should go ahead and save him]


    Linus cackled his tongue in annoyance, hearing link’s answer


    “hmm than lets save him, although I don’t like him, I don’t hate him either, he has always been distant as if afraid to bring harm to me, I didn’t get to know him in previous life, as I was not strong enough but now”


    Linus chuckled as he walked outside the alley and went toward the platform while his face was warping into a hideous scar from one temple to the other sides chick, as if he suffered a mortal wound and survived it. His clothes a lot different from before. He continued walking than stood behind the crowd, waiting to watch the show, as just it was starting [arrived just on time.]


    After a min passed, a person bounded by chain was brought on execution platform, his figure was battered and his eyes appeared lifeless. Just as Linus was observing him, he felt two auras appear it was of peak tier 2 divine priest, one was of the deacon and other was a royal guard, as according to treaty of peace from battle of continent 300 years ago, no king was allowed to be a mage higher than rank 5 expert.


    After the arrival of royal family and deacon, The executioner stood up to and started listing Lucas''s crimes,


    “Lucas vesper the count of Vesperia, tried to betray the country by colluding with dark alliance, and tried to harm his majesty’s reputation by falsely accusing his majesty of the murder of his late brother, he betrayed his majesty ”Alfred Herbert“ our previous king. For this crimes his majesty Alger Herbert has ordered the execution of Lucas vesper, his county will be relinquished to royal family. And their title is retrieved. His son will be exiled to ancient ruins.”The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.


    hearing about his son there was a glint in his eyes but not many people saw it except Linus, who was observing him intently while muttering to himself “so there really was something he was hiding, looks like I have no choice but to save him.”


    The execution was starting, ————— just as it was starting a person with overgrown black robe with a sickle in his hand came and chopped the neck of executioner.


    Linus quickly used his sickle to cut the chains and threw his father into the rift he created to the inn.


    Now he can play, To his heart’s content with the burden gone.


    Silence…… everyone was silent, no one would have thought some one will make ruckus in front of deacon. The severed head rolled toward the deacon’s feet which was ashen from shame. He was invited by his majesty Alger to proceed over this execution, and to do the rites. And yet a person kidnapped the criminal right under his nose and is standing there bravely challenging their authority, and since he is weaker than him, he can’t even make a move, the same thought process was going through in Alger’s mind.


    “I am noel from Psion, and whoever decided to pin this crimes on Lucas''s head is an idiot. I will show you how Alger Herbert his majesty killed his own blood brother by poisoning him”


    “Link create a virtual scene and project it to everyone”


    A bright blue screen appeared on top of his head, the scene began to show of how, Alger and deacon Samuel were sitting on dining table relishing and eating their food while Alger was smiling from ear to ear and seeing Alfred trembling like a fish outside of water, than he died and foam was coming out from his mouth, . This scene although short and fast caused more harm to Alger''s position then any long speech ever could.


    As the scene came to an end Alger''s body was trembling from rage, he wanted to shout he didn’t poisoned his brother on dining table. But no one would believe him, and if the investigation happened from the different faction, it will be know that he killed his brother by suffocating and by paralyzing him. All of this because of this man standing on the platform. He became the king by such meticulous panning yet this bastard has destroyed it, no its still salvageable. I just had to prove this whole thing as a move by dark alliance and just dismiss this thing as an illusion.


    “what, you think this is an illusion, I created to smear Alger''s reputation, well than make a committee and don’t include the church of light, they were the ones who proposed the new tax increase bill after all.”


    Hearing noel’s word and seeing the magic panel above their head. The crowd was in uproar, not because of the death of old king, but because of the tax increment, in the eyes of public the old king was just a bastard who didn’t considered the commoners as even human, the people thought after the death of king, the new king will change some policies in favor of commoners for some years to stabilize his position


    They were commoners not idiots, and the commoners has become more wise after the invention of newspaper by consortium’s Winfried Vallejos, no one knows who he is, but only that he came from consortium from the Terrandria [the land of dwarves ]. They had thought


    Deacon Samuel''s face went black, their plan was to increase the tax very slowly by trying to hike the prices of everyday product. Loss, they will suffer huge loss if they didn’t pacified the people now. And when did he killed Alfred, he didn’t even knew when or how Alfred had died. Alger was in same situation, he had to pacify the situation, by either denying the claims or this dogs will rebel and gave the other factions a reason to make a move against him.


    “I will take my leave, people of Aurelia beware of your royalty and the pope you serve, you are not worshiping the god, but a beast in skin of human. He is between you and your god.” Linus said as he opened the rift and escaped in a breath, After saying this noel disappeared from there, and left a chaos wasp there, everyone was still in shock from the sudden information they have gained, crowd was in uproar, some noble were afraid of the consequences and some were happy for the church’s misfortune. from the moment he appeared not even 2 minute has passed. The people were still processing the information and before the tier 2 royal protector can make a move he disappeared.


    Just as the unknown man disappeared the tier 5 protector of royal came and inspected the rift to follow him, but the little bug blew off at that time, The surrounding essence was still in chaos. Essence was the building block of a mage, it is ever present, however the essence consist of different elements like, light, dark, fire, water, earth, and even air, however they follow a uniform structure, and if it is disturbed than using essence will be even harder, as only essence and faith power can eliminate essence of opposite nature, The protector used his essence power and removed the screen from above, although quite difficultly.


    People started to disappear from the crowd seemingly going to their faction to report the situation. This is a good situation to reduce light church’s influence. While the commoners were still chanting against their king, to reduce the tax.


    Alger stood up and decided to salvage the situation however much as he can, he was the only one left deacon Samuel has already ran away, when that man disappeared. Alger appeared on balcony and raised his hand with a solemn face.


    “silence, do you really have only this much trust in your king, that noel person was from the dark alliance, their only motive is to cause mass suffering, do you really think I would kill my blood brother for a throne, my brother died of sickness, not by poison, this was personally tested by deacon Samuel, as for the tax raise, this is false claim, we never planned to increase the tax. I will take my leave, we will investigate this man and his motives than release a official report, and before that anyone causing trouble will be apprehended under suspicion of a spy”


    Hearing Alger''s nonsense, the noble of Aurelia kingdom were naturally down as the tax raise was one of the major reason, they supported Alger, but they also understand this situation has gotten messy.


    While some other nobles who were from unity hall of the Church’s congregation. Were very happy, as they will be able to increase their influence in the alliance


    Linus was sitting on his throne drinking wine while swirling the cup, “this is quite fun link” [yes master, it felt like I am a villain, trying to plot the end of world] link chirped happily with his unknown words. [Also you should use this noel identity some more, you looked so cool]


    “yeah I know, lets visit father in that identity”
