The Road to Chapter 50: Aldric’s Complete Ascension Timeline Explained
Q1: Why was Aldric hiding his true circle rank before Chapter 50?
A1: Aldric’s young physical body lacked the cellular density needed to endure the internal friction of high-level mana circulation. Revealing high-circle capabilities prematurely would have exposed him to assassination by the Tower of Magic before his physical frame could survive sustained combat.
Q2: What specific spell did Aldric use to force Julian to his knees?
A2: He deployed an ancient 7th-circle gravity matrix derived from his past life, known in archival texts as Aura of the Fallen Sovereign. The spell increases local atmospheric pressure while draining surrounding ambient mana, neutralizing the opponent's ability to construct spell circles.
Q3: Does Chapter 50 confirm Aldric's identity to the public?
A3: While the general student body and minor nobles simply view him as an unprecedented monster prodigy, high-ranking observers from the Tower of Magic explicitly recognized his unique spell formulation as the signature magic of the ancient Archmage.
