Legion20
So i know everyone thinks its Archmage Deirus, but i feel like thats a bit too on the nose for Legion. So it had me thinking about what other person, a male Archmage in particular, would not only know Count Lark but also have a grudge against Lith. So here comes the conspiracy theory, The mysterious archmage may be Archmage Lukart. First off, he supposedly dies to Nalear with a Blazing Sun, however thats the equivalent to saying that the villain definetly dies in an explosion, so he could have possibly survived. Secondly, the person who killed Lark was NOT AWAKENED, it says in the chapter that before leaving he had to chant his spells. Third, Lark explicitely asks how the person could betray his COUNTRY and kill so many people, which is odd when the mage only attacked a single household, so this could be actually a reference to Lukart’s rebellion and the disease he helped create. Fourth, as mentioned earlier, Lark KNOWS this person, as the mage in question mentions the fact that he “warned him”, which certainly is possible since Lark is from an old noble household and could have possibly been tried to be recruited by Lukart. Fifth, this event occurs on the “blackest day” which, as Scarlett points out, is the day the undead spent more time out than the living, which could be symbolic since everyone has assumed Lukart to be “dead”. Sixth, as mentioned before, the mage in question has had “everything taken away from him” which could likely be referring to Lukart’s loss of power and his family when his rebellion was overthrown. Seventh, although Deirus is currently the most likely candidate, I think its very unlikely considering all of the eyes that Jirni has put on him. Similarly, I don’t think its Meln because he wanted to chant his spells due to his Awakening
If he can't win as a Beast, he better learn to fight as an Abomination. That exemption for Origin Flames should apply to his Chaos Magic too. Also, his Bloodline Ability to conjure pseudo-Abominations relies on Spirit Magic so it should be fair game too.......This is gonna end with lizzie crying for daddy to save him.
