182 Ch. 182 'Time To Leave'

The wizard stared at the evil mermaids who were frozen in their place because time had stopped. Then he activated his power and realized that the remaining energy he had for this girl was running low.

Soon his borrowed celestial soul would disperse to nothing, and Niken could take over her body again. Therefore, what he will do now will be his last help before he leaves.

Niken's initially purple eyes got darker and showed signs of redness before finally, Niken's eyes turned red like a pureblood wizard's eyes.

Using Niken's power, the wizards rerun the frozen time and let the evil mermaids swim wildly, trying to destroy the water barrier.

Aqua resumed the purification ritual without knowing what had happened by the seashore while Lionel and Kazuto knocked the metal Elementalists and Lord Traze with ease.

It didn't take long before the evil mermaids, especially the evil Merylin, managed to destroy the water barrier, and they all swam out into the ocean.

Just before they crossed the border, a pair of giant red eyes appeared before them, stopping their swimming. The red eyes hypnotized the evil mermaids; hence their movement stopped as if someone controlled their mind.

The red eyes affected the evil mermaids' minds to the depths of their souls. Miraculously, the wizard was able to find the memories of their souls that had been buried for a long time and dug them back to the surface.

The evil spirits could never return to their original state because the memories and instinct to think clearly had sunk into their deepest astral souls. It would be very difficult to find them because searching for buried memories is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But the wizard was able to find it and not only one evil mermaid, but hundreds of evil mermaids simultaneously.

Niken, who saw what the wizard was doing through her body, was amazed, and she now could see him in a better light.

"I managed to bring back their buried memories, except for one. I can't find the mermaid princess's memories at all."

'Is it possible because her astral soul orb has been destroyed? The mix-blood wizard destroyed it.'

An eyebrow raised, hearing the sad voice from Niken inside his head. He didn't know why he felt frustrated whenever he listened to this girl's desperate voice tone.

He liked to hear Niken's confused tone and afraid of him, but he hated to hear her dejected voice. He wondered why?

The wizard shifted gaze to track the shards of the celestial orb. The fragments couldn't be seen through the normal eye, but the wizard could see them.

He uses Niken's powers as a time master as soon as he collects all of the celestial soul fragments. Then, the wizard rewinds the particular time for the orb, and the princess mermaid's celestial orb appeared above Niken's palm.

Then, the wizard used his magic to direct the orb into the evil Merylin's body, who was motionless due to being hypnotized by a pair of giant red eyes.

Just as the orb returned to its owner's body, the black scale on Merylin's skin peeled off, slowly revealing pure jade white skin. The tail, which was long and pointy, now tilted and widened to form a mermaid tail.

Slowly but surely, the evil Merylin started to return to its original physical form, while the other evil mermaids were still recovering. Although their process was much slower than Merylin's, the evil mermaids' dark scale began to peel off.

The wizard held his head felt dizzy, and saw the world around him rotating in his sight.

His time is up, and he will leave this girl's body. Seeing that the evil mermaids had begun to transform and his presence was no longer needed, the wizard entered Niken's astral dimension.

At least he hoped this time he could see this girl's face before he left. Unfortunately, his hopes were in vain because what he saw was a human figure enveloped in blinding yellow light.

The same thing happened to Niken's vision when she came face to face with the wizards. Niken saw human figures shrouded in the same light so that they couldn't see each other's faces.

"Too bad. Looks like we couldn't see each other for now."

"Hm. Thank you for helping me and saving my friends. I won't forget it for the rest of my life."

The wizards chuckled in light-hearted then walked towards Niken with vast strides while the blinding light enveloping his body began to fade, a sign he was going to leave this era.

Niken swallowed nervously, not understanding why the wizard had approached her. But she felt sure this person would not harm her, so she remained standing where she was.

In the next second, Niken was aghast to the point her brain stopped working literally at what the wizard doing to her. The wizard's hand wrapped around her waist and landed his lips on hers!

Niken felt the man's tongue push in and open her mouth, and at the same time, she felt something warm flowing into her mouth, making her loss at words.

With all her strength, Niken pushed the person's body with both hands, then swung her hand to slap the person without caring whether the wizard would angry or not.

Niken groaned in frustration as her hand didn't land on the desired target but instead penetrated the man as if she were a ghost.

"What are you doing!?" Niken wiped her lips angrily while glaring at the wizard who kissed her without her permission!

"Well, I did promise to help you open up your second magic circle. Your welcome."

Niken had not yet had time to retort the man's words when the light disappeared, and she did not see anyone there.

Niken was still wiping her lips with her hands as if she had just been exposed to germs and wanted to clean them from her lips. She did remember that the wizard offered his help to enable her to create a third magic circle.

But…

Does he have to kiss her?!
