"Mmm...this feeling..."

Vera was a little disappointed to realize that she wouldn't end up with the same expression as Shirina. She tried to find a suitable term from her familiar vocabulary, but in the end, she could only say, "It's quite novel and wonderful."

"What's even more intriguing is how you, the Archons, distinguish between the Mana I was as a lich and the Mana I was as a human. From my perspective, they are essentially the same."

Curious, Vera looked at the grayish-white mana that had condensed in Ira's hand. Feeling the incongruity of her magic being continuously used, Vera asked, "Why can't the [Governor] use human mana, and can only use monster mana?"

Seeing Vera's curious question, Ira narrowed his eyes slightly, but in the end, he decided to explain...

Ira: "Why do you think it won't work?"

Vera: "Huh?"

...

"Humans cannot be used as bullets. This is a constraint on the governors, not a restriction. It is something that should not be done, not something that cannot be done. This is what I proposed and what I designed."

As Ira spoke, he looked at Vera, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "By erasing a few bytes of world runes from the talismanic sash around my neck in a special way, I can become an unrestrained ruler."

At that time, Ira will truly become a terrifying professional feared by all... a ruler belonging to the monsters.

"A demon... the Archon?"

Vera murmured to herself.
