"My head hurts." After the blond youth said those two words.

A wizard apprentice immediately bowed and asked, "Teacher, do we still need a new blood bag?" The so-called blood bags referred to the women who were imprisoned in the small rooms.

The youth nodded.

The Magus immediately left the room and went to get his master's blood. The other Magus was still standing at his original spot respectfully.

"Jacob." The young man softly spoke the Magus' name, "Has there been any progress in finding the dragon cave?"

The Magus called Jacob spoke in a low voice, "There's new information, Mentor."

"Is that so?" The youth's expression was somewhat astonished. It was obvious that he hadn't heard of any new progress in the matter of the dragon cave for a long time.

Jacob went on, "Later he found our drugman, hoping to get an explanation, and accidentally told us that he had seen worse monsters elsewhere."

"A monster more terrifying than the 'female Fiend'?" The youth's eyes brightened a little.

Jacob nodded. "That's right. We suspect that it's the legendary 'dragon'."

"Investigate further along this line of information." With that, the youth lightly coughed twice. "Cough, cough."

"I have to find the dragon cave as soon as possible," the teenager said with a pained expression. "My body won't be able to hold on for much longer."

"Don't worry," Jacob replied firmly. "Teacher."

At this moment, the Magus who had gone out earlier grabbed a woman by the hair and dragged her into the room. The woman's body was covered with the scars of abuse.

The woman wailed and prayed, hoping to survive. However, no one paid attention to the sound she made.

The teenager waved at her. Before the woman could react, she was dragged to the bedside.

The woman saw the corpse beside her with its throat cut open. The Sickle s that could not be seen by mortals had already bitten countless small holes into the corpse, and one of its eyeballs had been eaten too. All that was left was an empty black hole.

Panic immediately filled the woman's body. She opened her mouth wide, and her tears flowed naturally, but she could not make a sound. She could not even make a wail or a plea.

She knelt on the ground and looked at the youth sitting on the bed. A small and exquisite dagger appeared in his hand. The tip of the dagger was embedded with a sapphire. This sapphire gave off a very calming aura.

The dagger slowly pressed against the woman's throat, but the woman's expression gradually relaxed. Death in a panic often results in incontinence, so that the room becomes unbearably stinky. That's why the boy chose to use this dagger with magical powers to cut open the throat of his opponent.

The dagger in his hand slashed across the woman's throat, blood flowing from the wound on his white neck. However, the blood didn't follow the woman's body all the way to the ground. Instead, it ignored the gravity and flew up. The maid handed the boy an exquisite porcelain cup, and the blood formed an arrow in the air and fell into the cup.

The youth held the warm blood to his lips and then gently took a sip. He did not need to drink all of a person's blood. He only needed to drink a little to temporarily stop his illness. As for the remaining corpses, he would leave them to his Sickle.

The youth passed the remaining blood in his hand to the maid beside the bed. His headache was quickly relieved. Blood from a virgin was indeed able to alleviate his illness. However, this was not a long-term solution, because every time the blood of these mortals was consumed, the effect would decrease. He had to find the dragon blood as soon as possible to cure the pain on his body.

After drinking the blood, the pain in his body lessened a little, and his feelings towards the "Modern isolation" became a little clearer.

The barrier he left behind was like a huge net that had been battered by a violent storm, constantly swaying, as if it would be torn apart in the next second, but it was also incomparably tough. No matter how the opponent attacked, it would always be able to resist and dissolve, as if there was no end to the energy it could absorb.

But the youth knew that there was an end to the attack that the "Modern isolation" could absorb, and that end would be reached very soon.

He sat on the bed and waved his hand. The light purple dome covering the whole area suddenly shook and then disappeared into the air.

***************

When Zhou Heng punched out his last punch, it suddenly missed. The crumbling membrane suddenly disappeared, although it could not be seen from his vision, but the ice-cold feeling in his hand had disappeared, and he no longer felt uncomfortable inside his body.

Zhou Heng could clearly feel that although his attack had affected the barrier, the barrier was not broken by him.

When Andrea also saw this scene, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. His teacher, one of the "King of Greed and Sickle", had unraveled his own "Modern isolation" spell.

Why? Andrea simply did not understand. Without the protection of the Modern isolation, the entire workshop would be exposed to the mortal world. Before long, there would be mortals approaching this place, and the matter of them capturing a large number of mortal women might very well be exposed. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand the reason why his teacher removed the barrier.

Actually, the reason why the youth removed the barrier was simple — the barrier was about to break and he was about to lay down a new barrier.

A ball of light purple energy flew out from the youth's hand, passed through the ceiling and arrived at the top of the workshop area.

Andrea saw the ball of pure magic energy. In his eyes, the light purple ball slowly expanded and slowly turned into a new barrier.

Zhou Heng was unable to see the ball of energy in the air, but he could feel that the aura he loathed was growing and spreading in the air.

He immediately rushed back to grab Xu Lingshan and Ding Ling under his arms and then ran outside.

Seeing that Zhou Heng wanted to take the chance to slip away, Andrea wanted to try and stop him, but he saw that the ball of energy in the air seemed to have extended out its tentacles, separated a small part of the energy and quickly pierced towards Zhou Heng's back.

Andrea imagined how he would deal with the Magus King if he could use this attack on him. But very quickly, Andrea came to a conclusion.

"He's finished." Andrea thought.

"The might of the Magus King had already surpassed Andrea's imagination. Even as the disciple of the King, before he personally witnessed it, it was difficult for him to believe that someone could use the energy of a witch to such an amazing degree. Modern isolation "was a defensive type of barrier magic, but in the hands of the Magus King, it had an attack power. No matter how mysterious Zhou Heng was, he would never be a match for the Magus King.

No one could stop the intentions of the Magus King, be it mortals, Zhou Heng, or their prey.

— The legendary Dragon King.
