A soft yet haunting voice caused a fire to ignite in the Founder's body. It was as if a lightning bolt had struck him, leaving him rooted in place.
It was such a beautiful voice that it was scary and struck his soul every time it sounded.
When the black-haired woman said this, she turned around and looked at it. She glanced at the scroll in his hands, smiled, and started walking towards him.
As she walked, a strange aura spread out into the surroundings, somehow making the dark room light.

"There is jealousy that eats away at your soul and that you can't let go because it means getting into a place where you shouldn't be. You feel the need to kill him because you are afraid that someone will steal the woman you love. But, if you are feeling the need to kill someone, you should not. Founder of the Spiritual Academy, someone worthy of respect when talking about your strength.
I was once told that you were a man I should watch out for. That was why I thought not to mess with you. But, this time, you are trying to touch a person you shouldn't." She said and stood in front of him.
For some strange reason, he couldn't move. Internally, he wanted to move because he knew the person before him.
How could he not know her? The most respected woman currently in the entire Nevod Mountain Range, Lady Charlotte.
Still, he couldn't move.
'This is... Her ability?' He thought in shock, and she smiled.
"How about? How does my ability feel? Amazing, isn't it?" she asked, smiling wickedly. Her smile made the Founder shudder with fear.
'Spirit, help me!' he shouted internally, trying to communicate with his spirit. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not move. Though he cried out in his mind, he could not communicate with it.
This feeling...
'It's terrifying...' In shock, he could only watch as she took the scroll from his hand.
His physical appearance began to dry up at great speed then, and not even his spiritual power could resist him. In the end, the Founder, with a stunned and dead look, fell forward.
He was dead.
One of the highest powers in the world had died within seconds from a death curse.
Even Charlotte felt her body shudder. It wasn't real fear; she just thought in the case that, that curse had hit Matt.
'Coming down the mountain had its benefits.' She thought.
She honestly didn't care about this guy's death. From the start, he was a man destined to die.
Someone she wouldn't care about, even if he died in the most painful way possible.
'I think it's about time I paid my visit to this place. My husband, you've made so many enemies that I'm worried about you. It's a good thing I got here before you, but... Sigh, would you stop getting into trouble? Go back to your place; you need to strengthen yourself for what's to come.' She thought with a slight sigh as she looked out the window.
She could feel the Divine Knights coming running on the other side of the mountain.
Still, she could only sigh and disappear soon after.
No one noticed her presence here, but they did notice something else.
Soon, a large number of people rushed into the office.
"Founder, what happened!? We felt a terrifying energy!" Those who came in were members of the Alignment. They were powerful and experienced people.
But when they saw the Founder lying on the ground, like a dry branch of any tree, they took several steps back.
"A--- THE FOUNDER IS DEAD!" A scream came out of their mouths, alerting many people who heard this, including Mia Holmer, who ran to the office to see what the hell had happened.
