"Urrgghhh.." A low pained grunt came from the pale man. Staring daggers at the group of young acolytes before him, he screamed that it startled all of them, "Let me go this instant or else!"

The pale man seemed not to lose his fierceness, however it only caused Emery to further strengthen the restraint of his dark roots, turning the pale man's face even whiter.

Emery and his friends proceeded to ignore the other party, who was still throwing out death threats here and there.

"We should return right away. They might need our help!" Emery said with a worried tone, as he quickly cast [Spatial Gate].

But Thrax stopped him. He thought that, since he was the target of those people, it might be best for Emery not to return.

However, Emery couldn't just run away and let his master and the others remain in danger.

"You can stay here and guard the prisoners, i must go"

Afterward he quickly enters the spatial gate, making the other helpless follow him.

A moment later, the group arrived just outside of the Terra castle. At the moment, it was apparent that Emery was worried about his master's safety.

After all, Magus Xion's condition when he was taken away was far from the word fine. Moreover, until the last moment they separated, he was still being overwhelmed by the strange-looking magus.

Emery immediately used his spirit reading, trying to gain knowledge of what was happening and discovered that his master was still alive. It seemed that the fight had just ended.

A look of surprise appeared on his face before swiftly replaced by one of that joy. Emery immediately cast [Blink] and appeared close to where Magus Xion was.

Magus Xion looked elated when he saw Emery was fine. But then, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and dropped his knees to the ground.

Seeing that, Emery immediately ran over to him.

"Master!"

If Emery wasn't too occupied with the concerns regarding his master, he would notice there was a dark-skinned woman dressed in golden Terra armor standing next to what appeared to be the strange magus lifeless body.

This woman was Silica, Lord Izta's second wife. She also should be the second strongest person in Terra, a magus-level figure.

Apparently, she was forced to exit her cultivation chamber because of the attack. And as soon as the 'Shadowbane' warriors saw her arrival, they immediately dispersed and left the magus behind, surrounded by enemies.

Emery lifted his head when he was sure his master was fine, finally recognizing the other party and gave his gratitude for saving his master.

Pointing his finger at the strange magus who was lying on the ground, Emery asked. "Is he dead?"

Magus Xion, who had recovered some of his breath, was silent at the question. On the other hand, Magus Silica didn't answer and instead walked toward the corpse.

Emery saw her swinging her arm in a casual manner. He was confused by her gesture, but he soon realized that a gust of wind was blowing at the corpse and the strange magus' body disappeared into the air as if it were ashes.

"I'm afraid not. He has run away." said magus Silica

Apparently the strange magus was able to escape even though they were surrounded by two magus level figures and dozens of capable knights.

The fact that someone as capable as him, trying to capture Emery was certainly bad news.

Emery woke up from his thoughts and once again expressed his gratitude to Magus Silica, this time for helping him. After all, those people had come here to catch him.

Noticing the look on Emery's face, Magus Xion slowly stood up. He then put his hand on Emery's shoulder and said, "What matters is that you are saved."

Emery knew his master was trying to comfort him, telling him it wasn't his fault. Even so, he couldn't help but feel bitter when he saw the corpses of the knights lying on the ground. - all died because of him.

Without realizing it, he sighed. A long and deep one.

Emery wasn't given the chance to feel sorry for himself anymore, because Klea and the others had arrived. The group then quickly entered Terra Castle, making their way to its chamber.

There, Magus Xion took a seat as he still needed to take care of his wounds. Meanwhile, Magus Silica sat where Lord Izta usually sat.

The chamber was silent until it was Magus Silica who broke the ice.

"My lord is leaving me in charge of this castle, but I know that your safety comes first. If you have anything to share about tonight's attack, please tell us so we can be more prepared."

They had captured the pale man and were, in fact, ready to interrogate him. However, Magus Silica let Emery decide what to do with him.

Seeing Emery's hesitation to share she added, "I can understand if you can't share details on this matter. If that's the case, I will then leave the prisoner under your care."

At the same time, the tied pale man was brought into the chamber by Yuria.

Seeing that, Magus Silica looked at Emery and said, "So, what would you like to do, Emery?"

Emery glanced toward where Magus Xion was and saw the latter's bad condition. He also turned to his friends. who seemed to be a little confused by the situation.

No one in this place knew about his situation with Grand Magus Zenonia, except for his master, and it didn't take a genius to see that this had everything to do with her.

Klea was looking at the hesitant Emery and said, "If you can't say anything about it... Then so be it." Her unexpected response managed to evoke strange gazes from Julian and the two others.

She, who had always been the astute one of the group, had figured out what happened to Emery, albeit roughly. She managed to connect all the dots: Magus Xion's previous arrival to Earth and the secret Khaos Space Emery had told her about.

She decided to keep her opinion to herself, but cant help to feel irritated with all the secrecy Emery currently has.

Emery turned to Magus Xion, saw the latter's gaze, and understood his master let him be the one to decide.

For a second, he wondered if telling them this would only endanger them more. But then knowing tonight's attack had wounded and even took many lives of the knights, Emery finally made his decision.

"It's best if you all know..." Taking a deep breath, Emery pointed his finger at the pale man and said, "This man was sent by Grand Magus Zenoia, master of the Darkness Institute. The reason she's doing this is because she wants something from me. She wanted this so much it was enough to make her hurt Master Xion, her own disciple, and send people to attack this castle."

Emery's words surprised everyone. Magus Silica, on the other hand, became annoyed.

"If that's the case, we should take the captive and report this matter to the headmaster"

As soon as those words were spoken, the pale man suddenly laughed.

"Hahahaha… Captured by a bunch of kids… Hahahaha..."

Immediately after that, the man's pale complexion suddenly darkened very quickly and Emery could see countless red streaks appeared all over him.

"Watch out!!" shouted Yurika, as she realized what the pale man was about to do.

She tried to move away from the pale man when the latter successfully exploded his spirit force. A burst of energy occurred and it was bright enough that Emery needed to cover his eyes.

When he opened them again, Emery saw the man's body had turned gray and it was slowly turning to dust.
