...One can only say that Adou was very strong; he did not cry.
There was no helping it, summoners are like that.
Even after Aiwass advanced to become a Great Sin Scholar, he was ultimately still a “scholar,” and continued to suppress the Great Sin Beasts with the power of the Celestial Marshals and the Pillar Gods.
Only when Aiwass truly became the Beast Master of Great Sin Beasts, capable of merging with the Great Sin Beasts at any time, would his ability to protect himself fundamentally leap forward...
transitioning from a summoning profession to a transformation profession.
——Master of Beasts, Great Sin Beast Master, Beast Master...
Whatever the title, in essence, he was the supreme lord of the Great Sin Beasts.
...
That was a brand-new profession developed by “Aiwass,” with the name chosen by Aiwass Moriarty himself.
It involved transforming oneself into the seventh sin—branding one’s own flesh with the mark of “Pride.” To truly rule over the Beasts of the Six Sins with one’s own power, one’s own body.@@@@
...Just as the Clow Cards were rewritten as the Sakura Cards.
In this world, before Aiwass reached that status, there would not be a second “Beast Master” in this world.
Just as the profession of Great Sin Scholar was also a name coined by Aiwass.
If one were to confront the Serpent Celestial Marshal head-on, defy one’s own destiny...
or even touch upon the Seat of the Pillar God, one would at least have to reach that realm.
The Demon Scholar would advance to Great Sin Scholar at the fourth energy level, and would undergo a second-class advancement at the seventh energy level.
The task of class transfer to Master of Beasts required that Aiwass collect six attribute Great Sin Beasts, and level all of them up to the seventh energy level.
Additionally, he would have to prepare six attribute Celestial Marshal Shards, as well as Sacred Weapons or Transcendent materials of the same caliber to “crown” them.
The Bear Celestial Marshal was a Celestial Marshal of both fire and earth attributes.
It could be used as either fire attribute or earth attribute.
Moreover, Aiwass remembered...
within the dense forest of the Bear Celestial Marshal, there were many Flame Butterflies.
According to the mystical knowledge Aiwass had obtained from the school library, that dense forest should be the territory delineated by the Bear Celestial Marshal in the Dream Realm, “Everburn Valley.”
The Silver-Crowned Dragon was always gazing at and guarding Everburn Valley, preventing the Bear Celestial Marshal from leaving here and moving to other areas of the Dream Realm.
The Bear Celestial Marshal would ignite the souls of cowards, the lazy, and the escapist, turning them into Flame Butterflies, making them burn and dedicate all their power.
That power would turn into flames, smelting the weak and healing the strong.
Once the Silver-Crowned Dragon had chosen the souls that belonged to Him, it would then be the turn of the Bear Celestial Marshal, ranked first on the Path of Authority, to choose.
He would first select the souls of cowards and the strong—the former would become fragile butterflies, burning themselves continuously until they turned to ash.
The latter, on the other hand, would turn into beasts and hunters, endlessly battling each other in the burning forest valley.
Even if Star Antimony ignored Avalon, it had to prioritize the issue of the Narcissus Duchy’s independence.
Otherwise, if they showed no reaction, even the currently loyal Black Hawk Domain might start getting some ideas.
But the independence of the Narcissus Duchy was carried out with the support, or rather insinuation, of Avalon.
Under the relentless harassment of the Gryphon Legion, supplies from the rear simply couldn’t reach the front line—the Gryphons just stayed within the borders of the Iris Flower, and Star Antimony couldn’t directly cross the sea to attack the heart of Avalon and didn’t want to open a third front to attack the Iris Flower.
Thus, they could only launch vehement condemnation against the Iris Flower, beyond that they were powerless.
Aiwass felt...
Unless there was a surprise, the Ring of Ouroboros ceremony, originally scheduled for version 3.0...
or June 1900, would probably have to be brought forward.
The war had already started a month ago.
It was now early February, when the spring blooms.
And on Star Antimony’s side, it was clear they wouldn’t last until next summer.
Not to mention the Iris Flower’s continued menacing gaze, and even now the Black Hawk Domain was beginning to have opinions.
When they saw the independence of the Narcissus Duchy was almost impossible to stop, they became dissatisfied with their fate as cannon fodder.
In Star Antimony, whether they were Alchemists, Necromancers, Demon Scholars, or Witches, they all had one thing in common—they were all squishy Mages with exalted status.
If they wanted robust physical careers, they had to look to the Black Hawk Domain.
They would have to resort to expensive Golems or the still in development Armed Gargoyles...
therefore, they ultimately relied on the Hunters from Black Hawk.
Armed with Star Antimony’s advanced automatic weapons, they became the most numerous army of Star Antimony.
And the former territory of the Black Hawk Domain was right next to the Narcissus Duchy.
With the supplies and reinforcements from Star Antimony constantly harassed by the Gryphons, they could only keep conscripting from the Black Hawk Domain and sending them north to confront those Mages.
—Being another Duchy under Star Antimony’s rule, why should we send troops to fight when they are causing an uprising?
Now, even the soldiers of the Black Hawk’s army were beginning to voice their discontent.
And the Goblin Merchants took the opportunity to bleed them dry, raising the prices of war materials by several times.
So Aiwass knew...
the Ring of Ouroboros would likely happen this year.
He couldn’t delay his studies in the Holy Nation any longer.
Because Star Antimony people could not accept defeat in battle.
It could even be said...
at most, they only had three months left.
—At most three months, Star Antimony must fall.
