My eyes seemed to turn white.

I kept thinking about the magic circle in my head, but I didn’t feel anything.

I couldn’t feel my body being sucked into the air at all.

‘The magic doesn’t work….’

“You have a nice expression. You never made that expression in front of me.”

Iker talked to me quietly.

“You should have noticed that I was here.”

What shall I do?

What should I do?

“The only place where the imperial family can’t teleport, Academy. You’d believe that and hide like a scared rat, don’t you?”

I closed my eyes and bit my lips tightly.

‘Please, come on. Please. Just this once.’

However, the magic was not invoked.

“Now the Academy’s teleportation restrictions are nothing.”

Iker talked satisfactorily looking around the monsters around him.

‘How much mana have you accumulated?’

It was the principal who adjusted the teleportation restrictions of the Academy.

He is a former court magician under the direct control of the emperor and even a candidate for Trump.

I heard that his mana is simply more than the royal family.

Iker’s mana increased to the point where he was not subject to such restrictions.

“But it’s no use now. I’ve put restrictions on teleportation throughout the empire, in every space.”

It meant that teleportation is now impossible throughout the continent.

If I encounter a monster, I can’t avoid dangerous situations unless I kill it myself.

“One last time, I’ll say it again.”

Iker asked, shining his greedy eyes covered with arrogance.

“Come to me, Yerine Spade.”

My head stopped and I didn’t turn.

I couldn’t think of what to do.

“I think this is enough. My patience is limited, so make a quick decision.”

Iker took a step forward and spoke in a threatening voice.

“Are you going to live with me or die with those little trunks?”

Cassius was the first to respond to what he said.

“No, Yerine, Iker must be……..”

“I didn’t ask you. Be quiet.”

As soon as I looked around, I ran into Cassius’s shining golden eyes.

Even under these circumstances, his golden eyes, which shine brightly like the sun, was stained with desperation beyond words.

“Even in this situation, you’re looking at that worthless fellow, not me.”

I looked up at Iker’s very nervous voice.

“Yes, I understand you wouldn’t answer–”

Rayl rushed over and said.

“Your Majesty, give her some more time.”

But Iker couldn’t hear him.

“Attack.”

As soon as his words fell, the monsters that were gently attached to the wall rushed toward us.

As a huge number of monsters rushed back and forth, it seemed as if a black hole had opened in front of us.

Everyone used magic from place to place, and colourful flashes flew deeper into the darkness than the abyss.

“Everyone, get out of here!”

The monsters stopped as the blazing blue flame blew off.

However, the more powerful ones approached with momentum as if they would completely swallow up the flame.

As soon as I was fighting with the maximum flame, the monster in front of me opened his mouth with sharp teeth.

A red light was flowing out of the mouth of a cave-like monster.

‘This thing!’

As soon as I demonstrated defensive magic, a red flash hit the shield and was deflected.

Along with it, flashes began to fly here and there simultaneously.

The monsters began to reflect on their magic.

“Ugh!”

The monster, which absorbed much magic, gradually spewed out various magic.

I was using both defensive magic and flame magic at the same time, so it was over when my mind distracted.

Now the monster started to spit out the flames I blew.

I tried to block it somehow with a shield, but the firepower of the monster turned blue, and the firepower became too strong for me to withstand.

Eventually, I was able to stop all the flames with a shield but soon bounced back to the back of the tower.

“Ugh…”

“Yerine!”

I heard the voices of Astra and Erica who were flying out and attacking.

My arms and knees hit the ground hurt so much.

The hot blood was flowing from the nose.

When I looked up, I could only see the image of a monster with his arms stretched out and his mouth opened in the dust.

‘Cassius?’

I couldn’t see his black hair and his golden eyes shining like the sun.

Eugene was not seen either.

“Everyone, if you want to save these two, stop the attack.”

Iker’s voice flowed out of the dirt.

Soon he walked slowly out of the cloud of dust.

Rayl followed him out, and two monsters were floating behind him.

Someone was held in the hands of such a monster.

“Cassius! Eugene!”

Cassius, caught in the legs and hands of a bizarrely grown monster, had a troubled look on his face.

The monster held his legs and shoulders with his smallmouth.

Cassius struggled to shake off the monster, but the more his teeth dug into him. Blood drops were dripping beneath such a monster.

“Prince, Ace!”

Professor Frain, who was bleeding from her head, shouted as her face turned white.

Like Cassius, Eugene huffed and set up a monster with his feet, but was caught in the monster’s arms.

A greedy open-mouthed monster bit his leg.

“Ugh…”

Looking at the two distressed people, Iker smiled pleasantly.

“You’d better not use magic, either.”

Iker looked back and talked.

“You two can already feel it, right? The mana is escaping. If you use magic for no reason, you’ll only lose your mana and magic power.”

Then he turned his head and looked straight ahead.

He smiled at me staring blankly at the scene.

Anger from deep inside my heart wrapped my whole body.

The anger will be hotter than the blue flame I created, and more than the lava asleep in the deep volcano.

“This bastard.”

Even in my voice, which was filled with anger, Iker smiled as if he were having fun.

“Now, Yerine, you know that. How much these two love you.”

“Yerine, don’t listen to him! I’m fine, uh…….”

They can’t be fine.

They couldn’t have been.

“To be honest, I was surprised to hear Diamond’s report. I didn’t know these two wouldn’t fall for the love potion.”

I looked at Iker with burning eyes.

Sincerely, I felt like I wanted to erase him from the world.

“Yerine, if you don’t come to me, these two will turn into ragged bodies in front of your eyes.”

When the Postade died, a scene that the Duke of Ale Club told me passed through my mind.

Eugene and Cassius shook their heads, but blood continued to flow beneath them.

“They’ve loved you so much, but are you going to give them away and save your own life?”

It was really bad.

I felt like I was going to get sick.

I looked up at the two men caught by the monster.

Even though the monster twisted his body in pain, I couldn’t see with my eyes open, seeing him crying out to me that I shouldn’t go.

Finally, I closed my eyes.

“Yerine, listen to me!”

I heard a cry of tears.

The owner of the cry was none other than Rayl.

“Please listen to me!”

He was shedding tears.

“You’re all going to die!”

His cry rang out in the tranquil spire.

Just then, I heard something popping from the top.

The green flash was exploding like a fireworks display.

It was Eugene’s attack magic.

“Get out of here, everybody!”

Eugene, who escaped from the monster’s grip with blood, shouted.

Just then, Erica blew a purple flash and a red flash.

Cassius used magic toward the monster, who was struck by a purple flash in time, and when the monster’s restraint was loosened, he escaped and succeeded.

The red flash, which was precisely directed at Iker, bounced off the shield and deflected towards Rayl.

“How dare you…!”

Angry Iker waved his hand.

More monsters flowed through the broken tower.

As we were driven to the edge of the tower, which was so black in front of us, we desperately flashed, looking at the drooping lumps filled with windows and stairs.

However, it was not enough to knock down that many numbers.

‘Please……!’

Have you ever experienced something like this before?

Really desperately, I wanted someone’s help.

I wanted someone to give me an answer to get out of this situation.

Then, someone’s voice passed through my head.

<i>[If you have any difficulties, come and see me anytime.]</i>

I didn’t understand what she said back then.

And I didn’t know what she could do for me.

But now I desperately wanted her help.

<i>[When something happens that you can’t seem to solve in the near future, or when you feel you need someone’s help.]</i>

Even when I thought of the voice in my head, the monster was constantly narrowing the distance.

Her voice became stronger when I blew up the blue flame.

<i>[Come find me]</i>

The monster’s greedy mouth was seen in the flames.

I saw black hands stretching out as if they were trying to drag us down to hell.

“Please.”

I closed my eyes as hard as I could and murmured.

Thinking of the red-eyed white woman who smiled at me.

“Help me.”

The heat swallowed the red eyes.

The heat was spreading from the left eye.

But it didn’t hurt.

I felt my body being sucked into the air.

Even with my eyes closed, I felt the black darkness coming toward us lifted.

I felt as if someone was pushing me into the white light.

When I opened my eyes, the monsters were completely gone.

The wreckage of the tower, Iker, and the smell of air-filled blood.

“This is…….”

It was the forest where the woman was, which I saw in my dream.

As soon as I realized where I was, I heard the sound of a bird chirping.

The bird, flying up from the tree, head to the blue sky, where there was no darkness.

It was so peaceful.

As if nothing had happened.

“Ugh, my head….”

Looking back, everyone was there.

“Where are we?”

When asked by Cassius while stumbling and wiping his sweaty forehead, I couldn’t answer either.
