The tiny black void that had appeared in the sky wasn't noticed by many since most of the people were already busy taking anything they could to flee from the fire.

They had no time to watch the fire as they could tell that it would spread everywhere.

Nevertheless, the spell continued to act… The void seemed to have created gravitational pull, drawing the searing flames toward it with an irresistible force!

As the flames were inexorably drawn upward, they twisted and writhed as their once-fierce intensity gradually waned in the presence of the enigmatic void.

As soon as this happened, the people couldn't help but stop as they wanted to see why the heat brought by the fire disappeared so suddenly.

"W-what is that?"

"The fire is being taken by that dark thing!"

"Magic! Only Magicians are capable of that!"

"Oh my! Thank you, Fortune Goddess! It's the blessing of the goddess!"

"No, it must be the Divine Sorcerer! It must be the Black Seal!"

"Right, that's the Black Seal of the Divine Sorcerer that stopped the demons from invading!"

Spectators watched in awe as the fiery blaze was silently and methodically consumed by the unfathomable darkness, leaving behind only a faint, spectral residue of dissipating smoke.

Soon, a profound stillness settled over the town as the last vestiges of the flames were inexorably drawn into the enigmatic void, leaving behind a haunting tranquility in their wake.

The spectacle soon ended as the small black hole suspended in the sky slowly disappeared after it effortlessly quelled the raging inferno.

The people couldn't help but feel grateful as they thanked whoever they believed made it happen.

Tyler, the leading police officer in the town, immediately started looking for the magicians who had saved them from the catastrophe.

"Esteemed Arcanists! Thank you for saving us!" Tyler expressed, as the two other police officers followed suit, conveying their gratitude.

Despite being only fourth-class Combat Arts practitioners, possessing merely 2 or 3 Spell Lights in their bodies, they were still able to discern the fluctuation of Arcane Energy emanating from the Arcanists before the appearance of the black hole.

There was no doubt that one of the individuals in their group was responsible for unleashing that enigmatic spell.

They had no idea what Arcane Path was used at that time or if that was simply a Talisman or a Magic Artifact. However, the method they used was not important right now.

They were really grateful for the help they received at such a perfect time.

"Mhmm… You're welcome. Now that the problem is settled, can we ask you something about the recent incidents around here? We've been looking for someone." Gale inquired as she approached the police officers.

Tyler's eyes brightened upon hearing this. He was certain that their town chief would be unable to adequately reward these individuals for their assistance, so he hoped that they would be content with simply answering their questions.

"Recent incidents? Are you talking about the disappearance of many Arcanists? We have no idea about this as well, but if we have a guess about it…" Tyler paused, lowering his voice before continuing.

"It's probably the Kingdom's forces trying to—"

"Ahem, we already know about that…" Gale interjected, halting Tyler's explanation.

"What I want to hear is the truth… I know that all the places in the eastern and southern region are now controlled by the leader of the Rebel Army or the Marquis… I want to know about the mysterious helpers he obtained that live in a disappearing castle in the depths of the Mystic Forest. We heard that the people in that place have an airship that visits towns and cities from time to time." Gale asked.

Evidently, Gale and her companions had conducted extensive investigations in the eastern region, yielding a wealth of information.

One significant discovery was the presence of the Masked Devil Incarnate in the heart of the Mystic Forest, where they observed numerous lightning strikes being unleashed.

However, despite their efforts to trace the origin of these lightning strikes, their attempts proved futile. They wasted a lot of time just for this task!

Subsequently, they fortuitously interrogated a group of rebels who disclosed the existence of the castle. It was during this time that they grasped the current state of affairs in the eastern region of the kingdom.

Nevertheless, even with their persistent search within the forest for the castle, they still failed to catch even a glimpse of it after weeks of relentless effort.

They were even going back and forth in the castle and forest multiple times to replenish their supplies, yet their actions ended in disappointment.

Upon finding a few high-ranking rebels, they gleaned information about the airship utilized by the enigmatic castle for transporting goods and materials, as well as selling their potions in the market.

"That airship? Ugh… I apologize, but we only know a few things about it. We don't even know their names. We only know that they can be trusted since the Marquis approved them. However, if you wish to procure their products, you may do so in the next city… All their products were already sold out in our town." Tyler responded.

"What if we wish to converse with them?" Gale inquired, her eyes faintly glowing.

"Ahem… Then you can await their arrival in three days, as they are scheduled to deliver several potions here… Despite the lessened number of Arcanists, the low-level potions they offer can be utilized by ordinary individuals to alleviate ailments, treat injuries, aid in sleep, and more… So they are still earning a lot of money in this town…" Tyler replied.

"Interesting… I wonder how much money they needed that they were even actively selling to a small town…" Gale muttered with a smile.

She finally found an opportunity to meet the Masked Devil.

"I'm hoping that the missing people were really in that place…" One of the tenth-year students whispered.

After all, the main reason for coming here was to find the missing Dark Arcanists, including Miss Faith, who was rumored to have taken all the treasures in the Academy before going missing!
