Book 1 Chapter 504

Luna, with her arms crossed, glared at the elves blocking her path with a crooked gaze.

Lunaria flinched at the sight of Luna, who tilted her head slightly, looking rebellious.

'Come to think of it, Luna-nim is…'

She recalled an incident from Luna's world.

Barharun.

The city of High Elves.

There, Lunaria had conquered the world in the role of an elf princess.

'The attitude of the High Elves I saw back then wasn't much different from the Pure Blood Society.'

Moreover, Lunaria clearly remembered how the High Elves treated Luna at the time.

Later, when she entered Dwenon's world, Lunaria was able to read records about how the elves collapsed during the age of disaster.

That's why she understood why Luna was reacting that way.

"What's the matter?"

Lunaria took a step forward, looking at the members of the Pure Blood Society.

Their characteristic red eyes gleamed coldly.

Even in the current elf society, the perception of the Pure Blood Society is not good.

Lunaria, who had always viewed them unfavorably, reacted with displeasure.

However, she also knew that many elves were still caught up in blood purity ideology.

Therefore, Lunaria could guess why they were blocking the path.

"Lunaria El Lundaya. You are the future of Seirun and a candidate for student council president. Have you forgotten that you must always maintain your dignity?"

'As expected, they came here to spout nonsense.'

Lunaria let out an annoyed sigh.

"You're acting rebelliously again."

"I understand better than anyone that I am the student council president of Seirun. And I haven't done anything that would be detrimental, have I?"

"The very fact that you walk alone in such a dirty alley damages the prestige of the elves."

Lunaria looked up at the sky and muttered, 'Wow, I'm going crazy.'

"You shouldn't use such vulgar language. Anyway, why are you associating with such low-class elves?"

The elf from the Pure Blood Society, who was at the front, frowned at Luna.

"Rumors are circulating. There's someone who wanders the streets drunk and disgraces the elves in this area."

"Who could it be?"

Luna, with her arms crossed, murmured as if curious, and the elves of the Pure Blood Society contorted their faces.

"Isn't it you?"

"Was it?"

Luna smiled faintly.

"You are a disgrace to the elves."

"Lunaria El Lundaya. To associate with an elf like this. You should be ashamed."

"Aren't you ashamed in front of the name of the Progenitor?"

Lunaria looked dumbfounded.

'Who are you talking about the Progenitor of the Nebula in front of right now!'

She was talking about the Progenitor of the Nebula herself.

And while insulting Luna herself!

Lunaria fidgeted and looked at Luna.

However, Luna seemed to be finding the current situation quite novel and amusing.

"What's wrong with the current Lunaria? The Progenitor of the Nebula would probably favor this Lunaria even more."

Chuckling, Luna pulled Lunaria into her embrace.

"Oof?!"

Lunaria, her face buried in Luna's chest, widened her eyes and looked up at Luna.

Luna looked down at Lunaria and winked one eye.

Lunaria, who was awkwardly held in Luna's arms, took a breath.

'It feels like my mother's embrace.'

Lunaria, feeling warmth and wearing a relaxed expression, suddenly muttered.

'But you're surprisingly amazing.'

It was enough to naturally think that.

"How dare you presume to know the Progenitor's intentions so carelessly?"

"This is surprisingly interesting."

Luna smiled brightly at the elf who kept contradicting her by mentioning herself.

"Lunaria El Lundaya. By befriending a human like Leo Flov, your relationships are becoming increasingly messy."

However, at the words that followed, Luna's smiling face suddenly changed.

Lunaria, who was in Luna's arms, also felt the atmosphere change and wore a bewildered expression.

"What did you say about Leo?"

Thump-

Luna released Lunaria from her embrace and took a step forward.

"He's a thief who carelessly stole the elves' treasure."

"And he acts all high and mighty as if he was chosen by the Progenitor."

"A despicable human who exaggerates his achievements to gain fame."

The Pure Blood Society slandered Leo.

They had no hesitation in trampling on others.

'Certainly, for this kind of person, the truth doesn't matter. What matters is what they want to believe.'

Luna curled the corners of her lips.

She was all too familiar with this kind of elf.

But familiarity didn't mean she wasn't angry.

'Especially insulting Kyle is even more unforgivable.'

"Who are you calling that sort of nonsense…!"

Lunaria, with a fierce expression, was about to charge at the Pure Blood Society when she suddenly saw Luna's face.

Luna's face, which had shown no change when they insulted her, was now as cold as ice.

The moment Lunaria flinched.

Luna reached out her hand.

*Grasp-*!

"Ugh?!"

The elf at the very front grabbed his throat.

His body floated and was pulled in front of Luna.

"Gaaak!"

"What is this?!"

"How dare you attack us!"

The elves, enraged, tried to cast spells.

At that moment, Luna flicked her finger lightly.

*Click-!*

*Whoosh-!*

A small gust of wind blew.

"No…!"

"W-What is this!"

"Why can't we cast magic?"

The elves of the Pure Blood Society looked astonished.

They couldn't cast Star Magic.

It wasn't a matter of the magic not activating.

The very stellar mana required to use Star Magic had disappeared.

"You will not be able to use Star Magic from now on."

Luna said as if it were nothing.

"What absurd nonsense!"

The elf whose throat was held by Luna's magic let out a desperate cry.

"For ordinary magic, it would be impossible. But for Star Magic, it's possible. Your Star Magic is incomplete."

The current Star Magic incantation is the Star Magic passed down by Seirun to later generations.

Of course, it demonstrates powerful effects even with just that.

However, its fatal flaw is that as Luna's unique magic, the Star Magic passed down by Seirun is an inferior copy.

And that it's not even properly completed.

If Seirun had had more time, it would have been perfected, but unfortunately, the Comet Mage did not have time.

"You know that when you use magic with an incantation, an invisible trace is imprinted on your body, right? It's the path of mana. I've ruined that path."

"Impossible…!"

"Yeah. Usually, it's impossible. But I can do it."

"What?!"

"Because I am the creator of this magic."

Luna smiled faintly.

The other elves of the Pure Blood Society cried out, asking what she meant.

However, the face of the elf held by Luna turned ashen.

Those with twisted ideologies are not necessarily insensitive or unintelligent.

He finally understood what was happening.

"P-Progenitor…?"

Luna, having dispelled the perception-hindering magic, smiled cruelly.

"I'm not as benevolent or kind-natured as the stories say. I only feel satisfied when I punish those who offend me."

With a blank expression, Luna pushed away the elf.

"Cough!"

He scrambled on the ground and quickly bowed his head.

"O, Progenitor of the Nebula! Please forgive me for the blasphemy I spoke!"

Seeing him trembling in fear and shouting, the members of the Pure Blood Society who followed him also sensed that something was wrong.

"I did not create this magic for you brats to learn it. And I certainly didn't create it for you to divide yourselves by class."

Luna said coldly.

"More importantly. Insulting him is absolutely unforgivable."

Luna turned her head.

"You will never be able to use Star Magic again."

"P-Progenitor!"

Luna snorted and flicked her finger again.

Along with it, their movements stopped.

"What did you do to them?"

Lunaria quickly approached Luna and asked.

"I erased their memories of the events up to a moment ago."

Seeing Luna reply as if it were nothing, Lunaria turned around with a surprised expression.

Indeed, the members of the Pure Blood Society who had challenged Luna were looking around, bewildered.

Despite the commotion, the surroundings were quiet.

She had controlled the area with magic.

"You're amazing."

"Lichinas or Dwenon would have scolded me if they knew. But well, they're not here right now."

Luna smiled bitterly.

Seeing Luna like that, Lunaria wore a apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry for showing you this."

"It has nothing to do with you. I know well that that's the elf species' trait."

Luna shrugged her shoulders as if she didn't care.

"Well, since I'm feeling down, shall we go somewhere to lift our spirits?"

"Yes! Where should we go first?"

"The best way to lift spirits is to spend money."

***

The place Luna and Lunaria headed to was Kurazh Street.

As expected of the Twilight Festival, Kurazh Street was bustling with activity.

Impromptu auctions were being held all over the street.

Tourists, caught up in the festive atmosphere, actively participated in the auctions to buy good souvenirs.

Not only sales and auctions, but street performances were also in full swing.

Luna, as usual, reached for the alcohol sold on the street.

Holding a glass of wine in one hand, Luna looked around the street and came across a street where storytellers gathered.

Among them, there were an overwhelming number of stories about great heroes.

"Now! Then! Who was the man loved by the Progenitor of the Nebula, Luna!"

At the voice that echoed, Lunaria's ears perked up.

"It was the Divine Blacksmith! Dwenon!"

At that shout, Lunaria burst into laughter and looked at Luna's face.

Luna's face had turned menacing.

Seeing Luna's expression, Lunaria covered her mouth.

"How were things with Dwenon-nim?"

"You said you saw Dwenon directly?"

"Yes. I met him in the world of heroes."

"He asked you to be his nude model, right?"

"……Yes."

"Do you think I would like such a pervert?!"

Seeing Luna's face contorted, Lunaria scratched her cheek.

"Then, among the great heroes, were there no couples?"

"No. There were no couples. Of course, there were people they had feelings for."

"R-Really?"

Lunaria's eyes widened.

"Of course."

"W-Who liked whom?"

Lunaria swallowed dryly and asked.

Luna looked at Lunaria, finished her drink, and smiled faintly.

"Kyle loved me."

"What?"

"He loved me intensely."

Luna said something that Leo would have kicked her butt for, calmly.

"Ah, I can't handle this," Luna sighed, holding her head.

"He loved me so passionately and courted me. He always looked at me with burning eyes."

"…I thought he was cold when I met him. That's surprising."

Lunaria recalled Kyle, the Hero of Beginning, whom she had met briefly in Dwenon's world.

He had an impression that was somewhat dry and emotionless.

Seeing Lunaria, Luna said,

"Yeah. He was that kind of person. But it's true that Kyle loved me. By the way, this is an absolute secret. Especially from Leo."

"Ah, yes. But why specifically a secret from Leo…?"

"Because it's a secret."

Luna put her index finger to her lips and smiled playfully.

At that smile, Lunaria nodded dazedly, and Luna grabbed passersby and said,

"Did you know?! The Hero of Beginning, Kyle, liked the Progenitor of the Nebula, Luna!"

Lunaria looked at Luna, who was acting like a complete drunkard with a perfectly straight face, with a serious expression.

'It doesn't seem like a secret at all?'

"Alright, everyone! I'll introduce you to a mysterious potion! Its name is the Love Potion!"

At the familiar name of an item from the street auction, Luna narrowed her eyes, and Lunaria looked bewildered.

Anyone with magical knowledge would know how absurd the Love Potion is.

As expected, as jeers erupted from various places, the auctioneer said,

"The exact origin of this potion cannot be revealed, but for now, let's just buy it as if we're being fooled! Who knows if love will truly be achieved?"

However, the auctioneer shamelessly continued his speech.

In fact, in auctions like this, absurd items sometimes appear.

Because it's a festival, there are also just amusing items.

The Love Potion put up for auction was contained in a beautiful bottle.

The golden potion, emitting a beautiful radiance, looked valuable enough as a decorative item in itself.

The liquid itself looked like a work of art, and a few young couples, caught up in the festive mood, showed interest and participated in the auction.

"There's all sorts of things coming out."

Lunaria let out a hollow laugh.

"That potion…"

"Yes?"

"It looks a bit like a potion made by some pervert. Let's buy it to check."

"Ah, yes."

Lunaria participated in the auction with a bewildered expression.

Luna let out a hollow laugh while staring intently at the Love Potion.

'Nah, it can't be.'
