The first rays of sunlight crept over the horizon as the announcement system echoed across Kiten.
Giving his announcement, Sekke waited for a response.And it did come — in the form of a massive army of giant chess pieces flying straight toward the town.
"Sigh... They have eyes but can't see Mt. Tai," muttered Sekke, turning off the announcement system as he prepared for battle.
[Bronze Creation Magic: Weapon Make – Gaster Blaster]
A colossal bronze construct in the shape of a beastly skull emerged above the town, casting an enormous shadow.Sekke stood atop its head, smirking as he fired the blast.
A beam of concentrated mana erupted from the creature's jaws, slicing through the army and erasing every giant in its path.
"After what we went through, this looks rather mild," said Vritra from within.
"Can't help it — the higher you climb, the smaller the ants look," Sekke replied with a shrug. Using his ki-sensing, he quickly pinpointed the caster and decided to end it before any more civilians were caught in the crossfire.
[Sun Spirit Magic: Sunshine Blitz]
Disappearing in a golden blur, Sekke reappeared in a town near the Clover Kingdom's capital.
There stood a red-haired woman in a white military uniform, glaring coldly at him."So it's you who's neutralizing my attacks. I am Princia Funnybunny, th—"
Her words were cut short as her body split cleanly in half.
"Yeah, not in the mood for monologues today," muttered Sekke, Extase dripping with blood as he yawned lazily before sheathing it.
[Mana Zone: Bronze Age]
Sekke's mana flooded the entire kingdom once again — but this time, only to disintegrate the remains of the chess-piece soldiers, preventing collateral damage.
"Alright, where should I go next?" he muttered, tucking Extase away.

Magic Tool Research Lab, Branch Zero – Clover Kingdom
Conrad stared at the screen in disbelief.A single magic knight had just killed one of the strongest Wizard Kings in one strike.
Asta and the others weren't faring much better — shock written all over their faces. They knew Sekke was strong, but this was on another level entirely.
"Alright! As expected of Sekke! He must've broken his limits again!!! I can't hold back either — I'll surpass myself right here, right now!!!" yelled Asta, his spirit reignited.
Conrad snapped out of his daze, glaring at the overexcited twerp before restraining him with his magic once again.
"You think you all have a chance just because of one magic knight? See this," Conrad sneered, gesturing toward a display.
The screen showed the Magic Knight Captains — injured, restrained, and suspended inside the flying stadium.A massive barrier surrounded it, glowing ominously.
"Can you guys be any more obvious?" came a familiar voice from another feed.
Everyone turned — Sekke was floating outside the barrier, arms crossed and an unimpressed look on his face.
"I mean, it clearly looks like a boss villain location to me," said Sekke dryly, tapping the barrier.
"Heh, that barrier was created by Jester Garandros, the 16th Wizard King. His [Barrier Magic] combined with limitless mana—"
[Glass Debuff Magic: Shatter]
A single flick.The sound of glass breaking echoed through the air as the "unbreakable" barrier shattered instantly.
"FBI, OPEN UP!!!" yelled Sekke, flying straight into the stadium.
Conrad's jaw dropped.'Just what the hell is that magic knight?!' he thought, rage simmering beneath disbelief.
"I need to go. If we don't deal with this now, he'll ruin everything," Conrad said sharply before creating a gate and vanishing through it.
The Black Bulls were left stunned.Wizard Kings revived? Sekke returned? Sekke lost his muscles? Sekke killed one Wizard King in one hit? Then broke another Wizard King's barrier with a flick? And the villain just fled?
"…So Sekke's back?" asked Noelle hesitantly.
"Are we sure it's him though? He looked… different," said Finral.
"He's Sekke," said Secre softly, a faint smile tugging at her lips.
"Then we've got to go help him!!!" yelled Asta, struggling against his restraints.
Everyone nodded grimly — though first, they had to free Asta.

Triumph Tournament Stadium
Walking through the halls of the stadium, Sekke hummed a tune — his ki and mana sensing already revealing everything inside.
He sliced a door open casually and stepped in, finding someone restrained and stuck to the wall.
"Hello there. How've you been, Yami-san?" asked Sekke, spotting a familiar face.
"Huh…" Yami looked up weakly, his eyes widening when he sensed the ki."So you came back, huh… dumbass," he smirked.
Sekke smiled back. "Well, I had to get my 10,000 yuls from you."
"Too bad. I gambled it all away — salary cuts after the elf invasion," Yami replied.
"Sounds like a you problem. I'll charge interest," Sekke shrugged, freeing him and summoning one of the witch queen's healing bottle from his storage.
"You look like crap. What's with the beard?" said Yami.
"You look worse. How'd you get beaten up this bad?" Sekke shot back.
"Got distracted mid-fight — sudden urge to take a dump," said Yami, deadpan.
Sekke gave him a side-eye before using the Witch Queen's healing spell over his wounds.
"Alright, let's go kick some ass," Sekke said.
Yami cracked his knuckles, grinning.

"So you're saying you already killed one of the Wizard Kings?" Yami asked.
"That redhead was a Wizard King? Huh. She died in one hit," Sekke replied in mild surprise.
"Meh. Must've been a weak one," Yami shrugged.
The two stopped before a large door. Strong mana signatures pulsed behind it.
Yami's senses sharpened — these were powerful enemies.Sekke remained unfazed.
Opening the door, they found three men and… a small child tied to the wall.
"…You sick pedos," muttered Sekke darkly.
"Huh?" Conrad blinked in confusion.
"What are you doing with that kid? Back away, you freaks!" Sekke demanded.
Yami burst out laughing while Conrad looked like he might explode.
"Don't worry, kid, we'll save you," said Sekke confidently.
"T-That kid is the old man Julius," Yami wheezed between laughs.
"…" Sekke blinked.He scanned the kid with ki-sensing — and, indeed, it was Julius.
"Greetings, Wizard King. Long time no see. I see you're pretending to be weak to surprise them — clever," Sekke said solemnly.
The three enemy Wizard Kings froze, turning toward Julius in alarm — only for their vision to suddenly tilt.
A flash of red.
[Extase: Retract]
"I swear, this works every time," Sekke said casually, Extase dripping blood after severing all three heads in one motion.
Yami just stared at him, deadpan.'This sumbass just killed three Wizard Kings in a single move.'
"Well then, Yami-san, Wizard King, if you'll excuse me — I'm going home to sleep," said Sekke, vanishing in a golden flash.
Yami and Julius stood there in silence, unsure how to process what had just happened.

Back in Kiten
"I'm back," said Sekke, yawning as he walked in.
"Welcome back, Se-chan," said his mother warmly.
"Bah-ha! How's the situation out there?" asked Zuk.
"Nothing serious. Some old Wizard Kings came back to destroy the world. I killed them. Now I'm going to sleep. Don't wake me up," said Sekke, walking toward his room.
The couple stared at their son's retreating figure — speechless.
