Release That Succubus



While Luke was struggling to reach Violet, the force behind the skin piercing gales increased tremendously. His body began to lose ground against the wind and he was soon knocked off his feet before crashing into several objects before hitting the wall with enough force to knock the wind out of him.

Jack had turned his limiter off and was operating at full mana capacity. He was in no position to control the force of the wind that he was manipulating. As such, Luke wasn't able to retain his senses after slamming into various obstacles and fell groggily to the ground as he verged on the edge of unconsciousness.

Violet was shocked because she hadn't expected that Jack had been holding back against her. Just the force of the gale was more powerful than that wrist blade he had used against her. If he had used such a power at the beginning of the fight with her, she would not have survived until Luke arrived to save her from that final blow.

Luke was already an A rank mage but he had been unable to stand his ground against Jack which meant that Jack was at the very least S rank with a powerful elemental control ability. She was only a peak B rank mage and had only survived this long because Jack had probably never intended to kill her.

Based on deductive logic, she finally figured out what Jack's real purpose was. He had probably been ordered by the Hunter family to take control and capture her following her father's arrest thereby crippling the Windsor family essentially. Therefore, Jack had been holding back against her even though it was taking him longer to get his desired result. Unfortunately, her luck ran out once Luke made his appearance and threw a wrench in Jack's plans.

The way things were going; Luke was going to end up dead in her place. Jack probably had orders to follow when it came to her but when it came to Luke he had no inhibitions and would not hesitate to kill him. Therefore, before things could escalate to that point, Violet felt that she needed to take matters into her own hand.

She hurriedly entered the hurricane's range with her already torn body. Jack noticed her moving towards the eye of the hurricane and controlled the wind element around her to soften its edges. He didn't want to fail in his task after coming so far just because Violet had a death wish.

Violet successfully pulled off the gamble and pushed Luke out of the range of the hurricane taking advantage of Jack's original purpose.

Luke was thrown out with a lot of force because Violet was already augmenting her body with her magic in an attempt to keep herself from bleeding out. The augmentation not only allowed her to strengthen her body and internal organs but also sent her immune system and body recovery rate into overdrive. This enabled her to hold on a bit longer by forcefully stopping her wounds from bleeding out by concentrating the platelets in her blood and strengthening them.

She had already thought out everything in order to save Luke from getting hurt further since there was already no chance of escape at the hands of Jack. Therefore, while pushing Luke out of harm's way, she slipped a little something into his hand that remained unseen by Jack and even Luke didn't notice it at the time.

Luke was too groggy to see everything clearly but he knew that he couldn't beat Jack even if he tried his hardest. Before he could use his identity to threaten Jack, he was pushed out by Violet and his remaining senses began to fade out slowly beginning with a tunnel vision.

Once Jack got a hold of Violet, he was the least bothered about Luke who was close to passing out. He was already a wanted criminal and didn't mind getting one more hit on his extremely bloody record.

The last thing that Luke witnessed before losing control of all his senses was Jack lifting Violet on to his broad shoulder and carrying her out of the Windsor family mansion without any resistance. It felt as if Violet was going with him willingly in order to save his life.

…

With an ocean of regret in her heart, Clara rushed home at the fastest pace she could muster after augmenting her body with all the magic she was currently left with after the long chase. As soon as she found out that she had been fooled by the black clothed man, she had turned back but the amount of mana she had wasted in the chase and the time she had wasted made her feel extremely stupid and extremely worried at the same time.

As soon as she reached home, she felt that something was extremely wrong with her house. There were guards and servants lying on the ground in heaps as if some kind of hurricane had passed through their midst destroying everything in its wake.

She bent down to check whether the guards were breathing or not. Thankfully, they were only unconscious and none of them seemed to have died.

Even though the worst hadn't happened, Clara couldn't calm down at all. She ran into her home and rushed straight towards her elder sister's office. The door looked like something had burst through it. Only a small piece of wood was still hanging along with the iron hinge of the giant door.

The strength of the invader had to be even more terrifying than hers to pull of something of this level. The scene inside was even more terrifying. The furniture and the decorations in the room were all crushed into the wall as if some explosion had taken place in the center of the room.

Clara's heart was pounding with worry as she blamed herself for the destruction that had ravaged her home. She was currently restraining herself from crying out because she still needed to find Violet.
