""RAAAAHHHHH!!!"


    The scepter was lifted once more, and this time an unquestionably high-density energy beam was about to beunched.


    The cackles of golden electricity, and the immense heat it generated caused everything around them to melt..


    The sh of two powerful sources of energy became a huge burden for the environment to bear, and it seemed like the world would get destroyed if they kept up their bout.


    "BEGONE!" The scepter''s beam of energy wasunched at the chest region of the the taller construct, pouring all the power it had amassed into destroying the casing that held the man in control.


    Unfortunately...


    >FSHUUUUUUUUU<


    ... It was ineffective.


    "My turn." The taller, much grander construct spoke calmly.


    It raised it''s hand, and a royal golden de suddenly appeared.


    Based on its action, it was clear what the objective was.


    ''It''s going to bring the de down!'' Kuzon Midas thought to himself.


    His scepter was to thin to handle the weight of such a tall de, so he quickly resorted to the de his construct had by the hip.


    >WHUUUUUSSSHHHH!!!<


    The de descended with great fervor, causing the clouds to part instantly, and cutting through the winds itself.


    It seemed as though space warped as the de fell, crashing upon the only thing the mighty First Prince could defend with.


    "KEUK!"


    The weight instantly sent his construct to his knees.


    The ground copsed, forcing the collosal being to sink inside, unable to rise thanks to the sheer weight that held him down.


    "Ngh!" Kuzon Midas felt his a sting in his chest as he stood within the protective haven of his construct.


    Despite being in his Supreme Emperor Mage Mode, and even using his Original Magic, he couldn''t do anything against the opponent that was overwhelming him!


    ''I... I thought I had studied him well. I knew I hadn''t seen his full power, but to think it was this scary!'' Sweat fell from his face even though his determined re remained. ''What a monster!''


    As the First Prince, he had once been challenged by all his siblings, and he was able to dominate them with his power.


    Even his father, the Emperor, already admitted that he had surpassed him. The moment the old man passed away, he would be the new Emperor.


    They all called him a monster genius! The rising sun of their Midas Empire.


    Yet... YET...!!!


    ''Such an entity exists?!'' He couldn''t believe that the limits of his power and that of the other person was as far as heaven and earth.


    In the end, even though he named his Original Magic after the Supreme Emperor, he found himself kneeling before another.


    The Absolute Emperor!

    "Looks like fifty meters is the tallest he can go. That''s a shame. Should I have just utilized the same height he used?" Kuzon whispered to himself as he watched the construct of his opponent struggle against one simple attack.


    ''Using [Marite], I can make this thing as big as possible. Though it would just unnecessary consume too much Aether. Then again, I have an Aether powerhouse with me...''


    ~Hey! I heard that!~


    ''I thought you were asleep. Isn''t that why you haven''t been speaking for some time now?'' Kuzon smiled.


    ~I just woke up. Seems you''re still in the fight. I''m going back to sleep.~


    Kuzon shook his head in a mock manner, unable to contain his wide grin.


    ''You don''t even help me?''


    ~Pfft. As if you need my help.~ With that, Leo returned to his peaceful rest.


    Even though it was quite lonely being by himself, he couldn''t deny he enjoyed the peace that apanied Leo''s sleep.


    There wasn''t any nagging, at the very least.


    And as for what Leo said, it was already ringly true.


    ''As he is now... this guy can''t stand a chance." As Kuzon was still locked in his thoughts, a brilliant idea suddenly shed in his mind.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Ah, that could work!" A beam of excitement coursed through his face.


    "I mean, I''m going to kill both him and his sister anyway. Might as well do it like this..."


    While his opponent was still struggling under the weight of his de, Kuzon''s expression lit up, and his lips moved.


    "[Marite Worms]... kill her."

    "B-brother..." Gloria whispered, feeling her body slowly turning against her. "I... I don''t feel so good."


    Kuzon, who had been so distracted with the giant de that kept crushing his construct, hadn''t had the leeway to look at his younger sister.


    However, the moment he heard her trembling voice, his eyes darted in her direction.


    That was when he saw it.


    "A-ah...? W-what is... this...?" His widened eyes took in the strange sight of his sister.


    Her body had turned pale, and it seemed like worm-like substances were crawling inside her skin.


    The worst part was the appearance of multiple cracks on her body. They glowed golden, and no matter how anyone looked at the situation, it didn''t look good.


    "G-Gloria, what''s wro—?"


    Before Kuzon couldplete his statement, her body was consumed by the worm-like beings, and the cracks grew too bright to be controlled.


    And then....


    >FSSSHHUUUUUUUUU<


    Her body turned into golden dust, falling right before his eyes.


    Kuzon''s bloodshot eyes took in the scene, his thoughts unable to fully.make sense of what he was seeing.


    Was his sister dead?


    Was Gloria home forever?


    He struggled to ask himself the question, and the only answer he could find was a very simple one


    YES!


    She was GONE!


    Lost forever.


    The moment that thought settled into his mind, Kuzon couldn''t hold it in anymore; his pain and his tears.


    "Haaa... Aaaaahhhhh.... ARRRRRGHHHHH!!!"


    His scream echoes within the lonely expanse that protected him.


    Trembling violently, with his bloodshot eyes streaming out tears, Kuzon''s gaze shifted from the remnant dust that was his sister''s corpse, and turned in the direction of the malefactor.


    At this point, he no longer cared about legitimacy or session. His thoughts didn''t consider the throne, or anything about the Midas Empire


    Only one thought currently upied his mind.


    "I''LL KILL YOU!"
