Bab 209: Penthesilea (Terror Construct) VS. James

When Eisenhart heard the name Penthesilea from the mouth of the scarlet werewolf, he frowned, recognizing that this was not a small matter. The only famous person in history known to have used the name Penthesilea was the Amazonian queen who died at the hands of Achilles during the Trojan War.

All mages were familiar with this historical figure due to the education they received at the Hightower. Specifically, Penthesilea hailed from a time period that mages considered crucial for understanding the foundations of their magical world.

The era that mages used to comprehend the basics of the magical world was divided into four periods.

The First Era was the Modern era, the era in which they currently lived. It began in the 18th century and continued to the present day. In this era, mana was scarce, and ancient magic was largely regarded as legend and hearsay. Utilizing ancient magic in this era was seen as nothing short of a miracle.
