Several tens of thousands of miles away, the location of the castle where the emperor and supreme leader of the asura race belonging to the Oblon world resides.
In the throne room, Emperor Thannath stood in the center of a huge magic circle formed from countless runes and strange encryptions.
Above each line and engraving of the magic circle was crushed Soul Stone powder, including the powder charged with mana and magic of more than ten Third Order Soul Stones. This kind of ability to destroy a Soul Stone into powder but still contain the power and use it in magical formations was something that Bai Zemin was far from achieving and was only possible thanks to the best blacksmith in the history of the empire teaming up with a talented Magic Rune Inscriber.
