"Can you really help me break this red seal?"
The wizard felt somewhat dumbfounded, seeing the change in the girl's eyes. Not only that, the girl's eyes, which should have been black, now glowed with gorgeous purplish-black color.
Is it possible, the cacoon-vlinder is about to come out of its cocoon?
"I can do it. But, you will feel discomfort in the process. I don't know if you can endure it or not."
"I will handle it. If what I see is an illusion and someone is trying to trick me, I want to know the real truth. I wanted to know what purpose that person had in trapping me into an illusionary world and separating me from my friends. I can endure any pain."
The wizard's pair of red eyes sparkled in awe at the girl's intense devotion to it.
"Okay. I will open it now. You better sit down comfortably first. "
Xiao Yue complied and sat down in the lotus position, making sure to appear as comfortable as possible.
The wizard walked over, then put his index finger on Xiao Yue's forehead.
"Try not to move from your current position." warned the man earning a nod from Xiao Yue.
A purple-stage magic circle appeared between his index finger and the red dots on Xiao Yue's forehead.
At first, Xiao Yue felt nothing and thought the process of removing the seal on her forehead would go smoothly. But before long, she felt like tens, no… hundreds of needles pierce her head from all directions.
It was so painful, as if someone was chopping her head into pieces, making tears start gathering in the edge of her eyes. Xiao Yue bit her lip and gripped her clothes' fabric with both hands to endure the excruciating pain.
She tried her best not to move or change her position and endured the pain she felt.
Sweat running from head to toe soaked her clothes, making Xiao Yue felt uncomfortable. However, she ignored her discomfort and focused on controlling her body to not shift from her place.
Meanwhile, in front of the portal opening to the vampire realm, Lionel came with a white mask man.
Hokuto and Izzy were curious about the masked man and wondered what the man could do to open this portal door. They did not feel any elemental energy in the man, so they thought this masked man was just an ordinary human.
As the most potent wizard in this world, Zephyr could hide his magic cultivation level from anyone. He always hid it every time he went on a mission per his mother's request.
Only Kazuto knew the identity of this mysterious man, and he suddenly thought of Ren, the young man he had cared for and tutored since he was a child. Will master Z hold him responsible for the child's death?
If so, he was prepared to take whatever punishment the man would give. But before that, he wanted to save his inamorata first.
After tracing the traces of their magical energy using a life-tracking device, it discovered both of them had died.
All members of Ace Force have magic cultivation, at least in a blue-stage magic circle. The two people who died under mysterious circumstances were the two best members of his fellow captain's team. Therefore, now they get a sudden mission from The Hakim to find out the cause of these two people's death and the main culprit who killed them.
In the middle of his search, Lionel called him and said that one of the Elementalist Knights' inamorata was in the vampire realm. If that girl weren't in another world, Zephyr would not heed his former disciple's request.
But a vampire has kidnapped a human from the mortal realm. Zephyr inevitably had to act and capture the vampire.
There was already a secret agreement between the vampire king and the Hakim that vampires could not appear in front of humans or hunt humans as their food.
However, this certain vampire didn't just appear in front of a girl. He kidnapped her.
Zephyr could not allow this to happened and abandoned his mission to save the girl.
Zephyr stood face to face with a black hole that was thin like a crack in the ground. Then he raised a hand, creating an indigo magic circle.
Seeing the magic circle created by the masked white man causing Hokuto and Izzy to froze in place.
This man is a wizard!
It was the first time they had seen a wizard activate a magic circle for real. It was no wonder they lower jaw fell apart.
The portal hole was open but held back by a mysterious force, making Zephyr feel amazed as long as he remembered the power of a vampire might not exceed the level of a blue level wizard. Supposedly using an indigo-stage magic circle was enough to open this portal door forcefully.
Zephyr removed his magic circle again and activated a cyan-stage magic circle making Hokuto and Izzy dumbfounded.
A wizard who has an indigo magic circle alone was very rare, significantly above the indigo stage.
The two's surprise was understandable because they had never met a wizard before. But Lionel, who had known Zephyr for decades, was not different from the two dumbfounded Elementalist knights.
To Lionel's knowledge, Zephyr has two indigo magic circles, and now one of them has experienced a breakthrough to cyan? Since when?
Lionel thought Z's strength had reached its climax and wouldn't be able to get stronger anymore. Who would have thought that this man had grown stronger after nearly half a century of not seeing each other?
Oh, if only he had found out that his mentor had more than three magic circles from the start, what would Lionel's reaction be like?
No need to wait long, the portal to the vampire realm opened wide to form a circle like the mouth of a cave.
The first time Hokuto teamed up with Kazuto to open the portal, it took them hours to create a large hole. The moment they had the help of the other two Elementalist Knights, they found out someone was controlling the portal, making them barely to open it.
But now, that mysterious wizard can open it in just two minutes?!
