Kenja no Mago

Synopsis

Schtrom completes his destruction of the Empire by demonising commoners who kill the nobility. With the Empire destroyed Schtrom claims he has achieved his goal and no longer needs an army, so he sets the Demonoids free. Miria questions his hatred of the Empire so Schtrom explains that he was a Lord of the Empire, but he disagreed with the Empire keeping slaves and made life for commoners as prosperous as possible. The other Lords hated him as most of their workforce moved to live on Schtrom's lands, reducing their tax profits, so King Herald framed Schtrom for kidnapping commoners living on his land to sell as slaves. The furious commoners set fire to Schtrom's home, killing his wife Aria and their unborn son. Fuelled by grief Schtrom demonised himself and swore to destroy the Blusfia Empire. Now having achieved his goal Schtrom becomes aimless. Zest sends his subordinate Lawrence to convince the Demonoids to attack Sweed Kingdom neighbouring Earlshied, hoping to draw Shin into a battle and provide Schtrom the new goal of destroying Shin. At a ceremony naming August as Diseum's official heir, news reaches them of the attack on Sweed. Shin announces he is renaming his club the Ultimate Magicians before they fly to Sweed.
