บท 2307: The Sovereign Path

Six years ago, after the Celestial expedition, Julian made a pivotal decision. He chose to walk his own path, chasing a vision that diverged from his fellow Earth Magus.

Like the rest of the Earth's champions, Julian's immediate priority was clear: to ascend to the peak of the Magus realm before the looming duel with Kronos, set for eight years.

But he knew the daunting truth—reaching that stage with his A-aptitude alone would take decades, anywhere from 10 to 30 years. The prospect of attaining the Grand Magus realm was even more elusive, a journey that could easily stretch to a few centuries.

Julian had always been a realist. He understood that relying solely on his proficiency in Earth and Fire elements wouldn't be enough to close the gap in time. His true strength lay in his mastery of the unique Law of Sovereignty, an ability that demanded much more than personal power—it required influence, command, and control over the masses.
