Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 131

(EP-131.1) Nova #2

131 – Ars Nova #2

The Black Mage Pelto was said to be the best among the High Road’s Sages.

It was in ‘past tense’ because he went crazy.

However, very occasionally, like the sun breaking through the clouds and shining down on the earth, there were rare moments when his brilliance would flicker once again.

“Sir Pelto, do you have something to say? Can you please try that again?”

That was why the other Sages always listened to what Pelto had to say.

Now that the Black Mage had spoken, everyone eagerly anticipated what would come out of his mouth.

As if he had noticed our expectations, he got up from his seat and roared eloquently.

“Killing-! Death-! Destruction-! Slaughter-!”

Then he climbed up the table and started jumping around. Seeing this, Blue Mage Osyeon touched his forehead and sighed, “Here we go again. Is it time for pills?”

Without the need to confirm it or not, Black Mage Pelto ran wild in all directions with a foaming mouth.

“Hi-Hi-! Destruction-!”

With the disturbance escalating, as the Chairman of the Sages, Hynax could no longer bear to watch and pulled out a long staff from the air.

—High Rank Sleep Magic. Somnus-.

With a strange light, Pelto slumped on the floor in no time. Finally, Hynax sighed and said.

“I’ve just calmed him down. Please understand Sir Pelto’s abnormal tendencies. It’s just that he got too close to the truth while breaking through to the 6th Rank.”

He twirled his finger next to his ears, like how Elga would mock Aira from behind.

But Sir Pelto pointed a finger at me and said, “Solomon.”

Fortunately, they dismissed it as the ramblings of a madman. But I had a feeling that it wasn’t a coincidence on Pelto’s part.

However, Mirna didn’t seem pleased with the situation.

“What kind of commotion is this? Anyway, I know that you know something about King Solomon’s magic. Tell me everything you know.”

“Understood.”

Hynax nodded at Mirna’s orders.

He orated while stroking his beard.

“Demon King Solomon created 72 spells for the world. From the 72nd to the 1st, each one of them was astonishing and capable of astounding the world. Especially the four completed spells in the end, that were on a different level.”

“You mean the four grand spells with personalities, ‘Ars Nova’? It’s a story that even young children who are new to magic know.”

Mirna elaborated. Well, I also knew a few things about Ars Nova. They were the final grand spells painstakingly created by King Solomon.

They were like the new order.

This new order – Ars Nova meaning the Four Great Spells.

One of them was the magic I acquired and the one that tormented Professor Balan, ‘Gamigin’.

「You have calmly judged the situation!

See? I didn’t just fool around, I also did my due diligence!

Seureuk.

Hynax took out a long pipe and flicked his fingers to ignite it. He said after taking a puff.

“But like Pelto over there, Solomon went mad one day. Ironically, the spells he created for humans ended up killing many.”
