Madam Silva chuckled while looking at Leo and the others arguing how disbelieving they were of her being a 5th Galaxy Mage.
"That's why I told you that you have a very cautious bodyguard, Leo," Madam Silva interrupted.
"Anyways, I'll personally introduce myself, since most of you here only knew me as Madam Silva," Madam Silva said, "I'm Silva Sylvani, a princess of a fallen Human Kingdom called Sylvania Kingdom."
"A princess?" Clydesdale was dubious as he was trying his best not to laugh. In his mind, he was saying, "With how old already you are, how could you even be considered as a princess? If you have mentioned a Queen, then I would have at least believe you."
"Oh, wait, since my seal has already been unlocked, then I might as well show you my real look," Madam Silva said.
*Whoooosh!
Seemingly as if a Magic spell was casted onto Madam Silva's body, her face covered in wrinkles suddenly turned fair skin, her eyes that looked really tired turned into clear looking eyes, her pale lips turned as red as blood, and her face of an old woman turned young. Her body also turned voluptuous, unlike before where it looked really fragile and old.
"You..." Clydesdale became even more disbelief. He would have been able to easily accept Madam Silva as someone being a 5th Galaxy Mage since she was already old, but for her to actually turn out to be young as a woman in her early twenties, he just can't believe it.
Madam Silva chuckled, but unlike before, it really made everyone's attention be attracted to how picture-perfect her looks were. To be honest, although she looked young, she was actually already in her late thirties. The only reason why she looked young was because she had broken through the 5th Galaxy level.
"Why?" Madam Silva can't help asking Evangelion who was looking weirdly at her, "Is there something wrong with my face?"
"Nothing..." Evangelion quickly turned his head away to hide how his face had obviously shown that he had fallen in love with Madam Silva, and he also immediately tried to calm his quickly beating heart in fear of it getting noticed.
"What do you mean about nothing?" Clydesdale quickly reprimanded. He just can't believe that the face of Madam Silva right now was actually her real age, so he continued, "Answer me, this is a Magic spell, right? Like for instance, those Magic spells that really old people back at Dragon Horn Empire used in order to hide their real physical appearance? Oh, that should be-"
Clydesdale wasn't able to finish his words when the sound of his mouth suddenly became soundless. He was still opening his mouth and blubbering some words, but the sound can't be heard by anyone anymore.
Leo at the side could only shoot a pitiful look at Clydesdale. Even his Master Olivia would immediately do such a thing as muting people's sound, especially whenever George and Charles said something insulting for her, so not to mention Clydesdale that had even dared called Madam Silva 'really old'. If the person that Clydesdale had called 'really old' right now was his Master Olivia instead, then she wouldn't only mute the sound of his mouth for a few minutes at best or days at worst, but would also send him to a one-month rigorous training, considering Clydesdale's cultivation, it would most likely be one of the 3 Danger zones around Silver Kingdom's territory, specifically the dark zone.
"Don't mind him," Madam Silva quickly turned solemn once again as she looked at Leo, "Anyways, going back to our topic. When Evangelion and Clydesdale were still preparing for this operation, I came to their tent to tell them about my findings. At first, they also can't believe it, but after showing them that my seal was unlocked, they finally believed me. It wasn't only that, two more other members of the Sword and Magic, specifically an Elder and an Elite member, had actually already knew about this important information. They didn't even hesitate to betray the Sword and Magic right at the very beginning of this war and had gone to help the Mischievous Lion organization instead."
"You meant those two people who helped my Master Olivia against Vladimir?" Leo asked. He had heard before from that fat merchant he had to meet prior to entering the Southern Fortress that two unknown people had helped his Master Olivia in her fight against Vladimir. He didn't expect that those two people were actually members of the Sword and Magic.
"Yes!" Madam Silva nodded.
Seconds later, Leo suddenly realized something, "Now that you've mentioned them, it's also a big question for me as to how my Master Olivia was able to contend against a 2nd Constellation level Mage in a one-on-one fight."
"Exactly, that's also one of the reasons why I can say for sure that the Vladimir we are seeing right now is not the real President of Sword and Magic organization, but instead Barbara who is just a 9th Galaxy Special Mage," Madam Silva clasped her hand, "If it was really Vladimir, your Master Olivia, despite being someone more powerful than her cultivation of 7th Galaxy Mage, would still be easily blown into pieces by him, not to mention the 9th Galaxy and 2nd Galaxy Mage who had helped her. You obviously don't know yet the capability of an actual Constellation level Mage, but all I can say is, the Constellation level is so powerful that just simply having our President alone in the Sword and Magic organization can already make its status similar in strength to an Empire."
Although Leo hasn't yet seen an actual Constellation level Mage, he had already read about them back at that time after he was finished preparing for this trip to Hundred Hills. Well, teacher Marvin had stopped in his discussion on the topic of Galaxy level, hence if he wants to know more he needs to do a self-study. Though he had just mentioned in the past that advance learning was disadvantageous, especially since he has the Silver Mage Academy to teach him about the topic that he would be needed, that was only because he still underestimated the capability of Mages, and now that he clearly knew about their capabilities, he is now serious about learning more about them.
In the Celestial World, the cultivation is separated into different thresholds. As of now, he is only able to learn three of them, specifically the Star, Galaxy, and Constellation level.
The first level was the creation of Stars inside the Mages consciousness, hence being called the Star level. Those Stars would act as the Magic core of a Mage, hence they don't need to always gather Pure Mana in their surroundings anymore because it would be the Stars themselves that would do that job.
The second level was forming the 10 Stars inside a Mage consciousness into a Galaxy, hence being called the Galaxy level. Unlike in the Star level, in order for a Galaxy level Mage to breakthrough, they first needed to gather 20 Stars for 2nd Galaxy, 30 Stars for 3rd Galaxy, 40 Stars for 4th Galaxy, and so on and so forth. Those Galaxy doesn't only have a similar function to those of the Stars, but they also slowly turned the Mages body into a compatible container for Mana, which would, in turn, improve the Mages physical strength and defense, Magic Power and defense, and lastly, their capability in manipulating Mana and Mana Capacity.
The third level was the transformation into a Constellation, hence being called the Constellation level. Using all of the Galaxies of Stars inside the Mage consciousness when they were still in the Galaxy level, the Mages would then slowly transform each of the 10 Galaxies inside their consciousness into their very own personal Constellation.
Although it may sound very easy since it's just forming a Constellation, it's absolutely not, because each person has a different Constellation that can best represent them, and one such reference is how a Mage looked to be when they turned into their Magic Manifestation.
However, since there is only one reference, which is in fact actually only half accurate, the Mage would need to look for 9 more Constellations that can best represent them, and doing so requires tens or hundreds at best and thousands or tens of thousands at worst of the amount of trial and error, which not only waste the time they needed to make that Constellation but also more Magical resources because right after knowing that the Constellation they have transformed is a failure, they would then be required to destroy the entire Constellation and create ten Stars and form a new Galaxy once again, so as to form another Constellation.
In the book that he had read, it was repeatedly reminded clearly that if a Mage doesn't destroy their failed Constellation and would just let the Constellation stay in their consciousness for some time, maybe because they need to gather more Magical resources before destroying it or they��re thinking to make do of the Constellation for the meantime, the Constellation would actually become a double-edged sword, but the other end which is pointing to the Mage themselves, would be the sharpest one. In short, it would cost their own body more damage compared to how much they can cause their opponents. There were various negative effects mentioned in the book, but he didn't understand them any further because he hasn't yet reached such a level, hence it is unnecessary to learn them yet.
Those Constellations don't only have both the function of the Stars and the Galaxies. In this level, the Mage is finally a perfect container for Mana, and hence those Constellations they have made would be their transformation. In other words, they are able to do 10 Magic Manifestation. The only difference to the ordinary Magic Manifestation is, it's no longer just an enhancement or increase in something and such, but rather the Mage would literally turn into their Magic Manifestation. Like for example, Lu Ming can turn into an actual Giant Devil like his Magic Manifestation, not some Mana body that shows the form of a Giant Devil.
That's why he became very doubtful because his Master Olivia, although she's indeed powerful than people at the same cultivation as her, was actually able to contend against someone in the Constellation level and not to mention Vladimir was said to be in the 2nd Constellation level, which means he can transform into two different forms, with each one being much more powerful than the other.
"But why did you have to kill all of the Sword and Magic members, though? Just like Evangelion and Clydesdale, they could have understood you when you told them about it, right?" Leo can't help asking. He finally realized after hearing Madam Silva's explanation that the operation to kill him was changed into an operation to abduct him instead, but still why did they set-up their own people to all die in the hands of the Mischievous Lion organization? It's just so unnecessary and a waste of manpower.
"Those people weren't even members of the Sword and Magic. Do you really think that the Mischievous Lion organization would be able to contend with us if we really dare to send out hundreds of our men? With your meager strength as of this moment, even if you include all the 24 Elders you have in this battle, they would still be helpless against us. Not to mention, your simple plan like sending a signal through mirror reflection would be immediately cut off in the get-go, and only that second part of your plan would be able to affect us, at least by a little bit. No one, as in literally no one, would be able to easily stop hundreds of our men, even the Dragon Horn Empire themselves!" Madam Silva said with a proud look in her eyes.
Leo nodded his head repeatedly in understanding, "Tell me if I'm wrong, I'm guessing that they are the Black organization, right?"
"Indeed, they are members of the Black organization." Madam Silva nodded with a smile on her face.
"Oh, so that's why..."
After hearing Madam Silva's explanation, Leo finally understood how he was able to easily win this fight. At first, he had already thought of many reasons why they would be losing in this fight since it's the Sword and Magic that they would be fighting against, an organization similar in strength to an Empire, but unexpectedly he was actually able to easily win against them, and it was actually just by using two of his plans, specifically he has 3 more plans remaining, and not to mention it would soon turn to be a complete wipe-out.. This was completely really dubious to happen for the Sword and Magic organization, unless of course if the Mischievous Lion organization became similar in strength to Kingdoms or the Sword and Magic organization had only sent out a bunch of cannon fodder.
