As the children immersed themselves in their scholarly discussion, unaware of their surroundings, a presence materialized behind them, drawn by their intense focus and the intriguing objects they examined.A gentle, feminine voice broke the children's concentration, causing them to start in surprise. "Children," the voice spoke, and the trio realized with a jolt that someone had silently approached them.Instinctively, they scurried away, putting a few meters between themselves and the mysterious figure. Lily, her voice tinged with indignation, pointed an accusing finger at the newcomer. "You stalker!" she cried out.Undeterred, the figure spoke once more, and to the children's astonishment, it materialized beside them once again. "May I take a look at that?" the voice inquired, its tone polite and curious.The trio found themselves confronted by this enigmatic presence, unsure of how to respond to such a direct request. The figure's ability to seemingly teleport had left them unnerve

The children, trapped and powerless, could only watch in horror as their brother's blood stained the ground, their own bodies still held in the grip of the invisible force that rendered them immobile"Maybe I should have aimed for the thigh, that might be more painful, right?" Lucifer mused aloud, his voice dripping with a cold, calculating detachment. He was just about to unleash another spell when he sensed a subtle disturbance in the mana surrounding him."Ah, little sister, you've really become proficient in magic," he said, his tone tinged with a mixture of surprise and admiration. "It didn't take more than a few minutes to break free from an A-rank spell. At this rate, won't you surpass me soon?" Lucifer's chuckle was a menacing, mirthless sound that sent shivers down the spines of the children.But before he could continue, a voice cut through the air, its tone a stark contrast to Lucifer's cold, calculating demeanor. "Stop right now!" Sia's face was a picture of fury, her eyes

Despite being caught off guard, Zikk managed to deftly extricate himself from the situation without resorting to unnecessary actions.It was a testament to his skill and quick thinking that he emerged unscathed, especially considering I had launched my attack while cloaked in stealth."Who are you?" I demanded, my voice firm and unwavering as I confronted him."You attacked me out of nowhere, and now you ask who I am? I'm just trying to go home, you bastard!" Zikk retorted, his tone defiant and his demeanor unyielding.I couldn't help but admire his quick wit and sharp tongue.His response was delivered with such conviction that for a moment, I almost believed him. Zikk's acting skills were truly impressive, and I had to give credit where credit was due.I admit it, his acting was really good. “Stop the crap, young man!” I snorted and readied my blade. “I will make you spit out everything!” On the other hand, Zikk took out a small sword from inside his cloak, he was calm and collect

The night lamps lit up, casting a warm glow over the city. The soft hum of the lights was like a gentle melody, and even those asleep were drawn out of their slumber to watch the spectacle. The residents nearby, who had been oblivious to the commotion, were now fully awake and gathered around the scene, their faces aglow with wonder.As the mages inside the Blue Tower caught wind of the commotion, they too emerged from the tower's entrance, their blue robes fluttering in the gentle breeze. Their faces were set in stern, disapproving expressions, but even their haughty air couldn't hide the hint of concern that crept into their eyes as they took in the scene before them.The group of mages, their faces set in determined lines, were about to launch a fierce attack. But just as they were about to strike, a figure emerged from the shadows, his blue robes a slightly darker shade than those of the mages."Wait," he commanded, his voice firm and authoritative. "Don't attack."The mages hesit

It had been an eternity since I had unleashed the full fury of my domain, and yet, I found myself craving the sensation of absolute power. I didn't need to use this domain, but I wanted to demonstrate to these insolent mages the true extent of my authority.As I spoke the word "Kneel," the air seemed to vibrate with an otherworldly energy. The mages, once proud and defiant, now fell to their knees, their bodies ensnared by the crimson tendrils of my domain. The ground seemed to writhe and twist beneath them as if the very earth itself was rebelling against their insolence.The mages' auras, once a beacon of their power, now faltered and weakened, their heads spinning with the sheer force of my dominance. The air grew thick with the weight of their submission as if the very breath they drew was a reminder of their newfound servitude.The weaker mages, their bodies no match for the crushing pressure of my domain, began to vomit blood, their faces contorted in agony. Some of them, overwh
