The leader of Nightfall was an old man, widely known as a serious heavyweight in the criminal underworld. He would use any means necessary to expand the organization.

Even to his experienced eyes, this was a truly unanticipated sight. His men had phenomenal weapons that were far beyond what anybody could cope with. Only a monster could match the extreme power of ten Tempest Scepters.

As he watched the battle unfold, he was reminded of a rumor. A veteran assassin who knew all there was to know about people in the underworld had appeared at the Red Rose Ball in the royal palace, and that same veteran tasted defeat for the first time in his career. He even possessed a supreme relic, yet a little royal court magician had neutralized it.

Is this the one they call Noelle Springfield? the old man thought. She was a rising star, said to have suppressed a high-level mutant goblin emperor and produced outstanding results during the wyvern incident on the western frontier. All eyes were on her.

The old man determined that this girl was the worst kind of danger to their organization. He was in no position to hesitate in deciding how to deal with her.

“We will use it,” he commanded.

“Yes, sir.” The leader’s aide produced a cup that shone with a violet light. They had their own supreme relic. It took entire cities, or even entire countries, to afford such rare dungeon relics.

This one was the Cruel God’s Goblet, an item with the ability to invigorate all the magicite in a fixed area, doubling the output of magical weapons—at the cost of half of the user’s remaining lifespan. It was the secret weapon the old man had prepared in case he needed to do battle with royal court magicians. He had used it many times to defeat skilled magicians.

I’m sure she’s undergone an unimaginable amount of training as a magician, he thought. But in this world, success is about being smart. It’s perfectly easy to bring down the powerful. They believed the dragon-slaying hero was unbeatable, but even he died an early death thanks to a clever plot.

His aide activated the Cruel God’s Goblet. Its ominous violet light flooded the room.

The little magician had managed to stand up to ten of their illegally produced Tempest Scepters, but the power of the goblet would mercilessly undo everything she had achieved. It doubled the output of the weapons, allowing them to release even stronger wind magic.

She tried to resist, but there was no fighting this. There was no way to keep up. She was forced back by a power so much stronger than hers that it was cruel. It was like a giant fighting a mouse. A human facing magical weapons and a supreme relic would be crushed beyond recognition. This was no fight; this was an absolute annihilation.

With an ear-splitting roar, the battle was brought to an early conclusion.

“Our work here is done. Let’s go.” The old man turned his back and began walking toward the exit.
