Return of The Unrivaled Spear Knight
Chapter 315
“Hold on a moment, Sir Cain.” Icarus made the angry knight step back; then she turned to Lugia. “Then do you mean that our master stayed missing for all this time because he was in the Demon Realm?”
“Hey, you’re kidding me, right? That’s absurd!” Cain shouted.
The spear buzzed in Cain’s direction, almost as if it were smirking at Cain.
-Why is it absurd?
“...What?” Cain asked.
-He had to verify it.
Cain crumpled up his face, frustrated by Lugia’s continual vagueness.
“Explain it in a way I can understand!”
-He knows the future, but a variable that even he didn’t expect showed up. Thus, he headed to the Tower of Trials to check it.
“He kn-knows the future? Wait, what do you mean when you said he headed to the Tower of Trials for that reason?” Cain narrowed his eyes.
-All the truths in the world are hidden on the highest floor of the Tower.
The more Lugia continued, the more frustrated Cain became. He was about to blow his top and start shouting at the demon spear.
“...I heard about that story,” someone quietly said with a voice that was as sweet as rain in a drought. Cain and the others automatically turned their heads to the speaker.
“Do you know something about it?” Icarus asked.
Lilith, the one with the sweet voice, nodded.
“The legend about how all the truths in the world are hidden in the Tower is not only famous among wizards but also around the entire continent,” she said.
“The-then, it’s really...?” Cain mumbled in disbelief.
“But it’s just a legend...” Lilith glanced at Lugia. “It is known that there is a mirror called the ‘Full Moon Mirror’ on the highest floor of the Tower.”
“The Full Moon Mirror?”
“It’s a mythical treasure from the ancient age of magic that shows anything the user wants to see. It doesn’t matter if it’s related to the past, present, or future.”
Icarus and Cain stared at her in amazement.
Christian, who had been watching the situation, interrupted.
“But, Lilith, the Full Moon Mirror is...”
“I know what you want to say.” Lilith held her hand up and nodded, immediately silencing Christian. Lilith’s eyes shone. “Everyone always has to pay a price to achieve a grand goal; it’s the way of the world to sacrifice something in order to acquire the things we want. Time, effort... it can be anything.”
“So my master had to... go to hell to pay the price?” Cain muttered in disbelief.
“It’s purely a conjecture of mine.” Lilith shrugged.
Cain gaped blankly.
“I’m not sure what the variable is, but using the Full Moon Mirror surely has an upside. Using that mirror, we would be able to get to the bottom of every shady event that happened over the past three years—like the disappearance of Emperor Marcus and the death of the Dark God. The ancient wizards tried to overcome the hurdle of Class 9, where they would practically be considered gods, using the Full Moon Mirror for a reason,” Lilith said.
Some old memories of hers seemed to come to mind.
“The Joshua I know would have collected information before he moved. He’s known to always finish his job perfectly, but it’s only possible because he prepares very thoroughly and collects every possible piece of information before he makes a move.”
-Do you want to know one more thing?
Lugia finally broke his silence.
-The Emperor you mentioned didn’t disappear on his own.
“...What?”
-To be accurate...
Lugia trailed off for a moment and hummed again. Shortly after, it followed up with yet another shocking remark.
-He got killed.
“...What?” Everyone’s jaw dropped.
“I...”
At that moment, Cazes felt the ground tremble faintly, making his eyes widen.
“...Thunder in this weather?” the bald man murmured. “The timing is...”
“...No.” Cazes shook his head. The bald man tilted his head in confusion.
“It’s mana, not a lightning bolt.” Cazes concisely murmured. His eyes shone with thrill.
The shockwave had come from at least dozens of kilometers away from them, but it was strong enough for Cazes and the bald man to feel it, even though they were in the capital. After he noticed how powerful and familiar the shockwave was, he realized it resembled that of someone who he missed very much. Cazes unconsciously clenched his fists. He needed to go to the origin of the shockwave and check it out himself.
“Tell everyone to prepare to depart!” Cazes instructed and sprang forward, disappearing in a flash.
The bald man just blankly stared at Cazes’s back, dumbfounded by the unexpected order.
“Huh?” he mumbled.

A raging wind that was powerful enough to turn the ground upside down blew toward Draxia, but he simply swung his sword to defend himself. The gale subsided with a pop! like he’d burst a leather drum. He smiled.
“Are you really the famous Hero King? You’re not even pulling out your red spear... I guess it was a false alarm.”
Joshua remained silent.
“Or did you really get injured in the Great Plain of Kraden?” Draxia asked.
“It’s a little bit disappointing,” Anna, who was near Draxia, quipped. “If that’s all he’s got, it looks like I could deal with him.”
“Do it,” Draxia suggested.
“...Father?” Anna’s eyes widened.
Draxia shrugged.
“From what I know, you recently took an interest in someone.”
“...Ah!” Anna gaped.
“Isn’t he a perfect opponent to test it on?” Draxia looked straight ahead without waiting for Anna’s answer.
“You must be wondering why I’m confident in front of the famous Hero King,” he said to Joshua. “It’s simple: while you disappeared from the continent, a new power, one that is powerful enough to crush the Nine Stars, has shown up.”
Joshua still remained expressionless, but Draxia’s smile only deepened.
“It’s called materialization of aura. I’ll give you a taste of my power.”
As soon as Draxia finished speaking, a loud rumbling shook the sky.
“Besides, you would have no intention to answer my question, so I’ll have to get my answer after I make you kneel...” Draxia smiled contentedly.
“You talk a lot,” Joshua replied, finally breaking his silence.
Draxia’s eyes widened slightly.
“Are you going to fight with your mouth? Come.”
At the same time, Joshua created a thrumming sound that was incomparably louder than the one Draxia created, filling the sky.
“The materialization you talk about is just a cheap trick. Yes, you all thought I was using a cheap trick when I was using my spear. In other words, the important part in a fight is who is using a weapon, not what the weapon is or what technique that person is using.” Joshua shrugged.
Draxia flinched as the same raging wind started to blow from everywhere, threatening to hack him to pieces.
“I admit that even cheap tricks come in handy from time to time because even dog poop can be used as medicine.[1]”
“D-dog poop?” Draxia stuttered.
“If you truly think that your dog poop is the sky...” Joshua said, the humming sound swelling with every word.
“...I’ll show you the real sky now.”
1. In 동의보감 (ancient Korean medicine book), there is a record of using dog poop as medicine, so there is an idiom in Korea “개똥도 약에 쓰려면 없다 (One cannot find dog poop when they try to make medicine out of it)” ☜
