Chapter 49 - 49: An Incident in the Border (1/2)

Meanwhile, in the City of Themis, darkness, and malice continues to loom.

The Master of the Shadows is currently lounging in his room. Dark curtains prevent the sunlight from coming in, making his chambers gloomy.

He was drowning on his thoughts and played the events in his mind. He swirls a cup of scarlet liquid on his hand.

He can't figure out who protected the Oracle Clan from his assault. He assumes this person is the same one who saved those Holy Guardian Lords the day of his initial arrival.

'Who else can intervene?'

He can only grit the annoyance of his existence. He can't believe someone dares to defy him. Only a few can, and he suspects none of them would.

Who is this person who continues to hinder his plans? He just wanted to eradicate the insignificant Oracle Clan and everyone against him.

A sinister smile forms on his lips as he devises a new plan. He can't do anything for now, but it doesn't mean he won't try.

Not long, his younger brother came in to change his bandages and give his medicines. This unknown, potent drug is new to them as they try to remedy its effects.

The Master remains silent as he watches his little brother patiently tend on him. He remains expressionless as he looks at him with an icy gaze.

His younger brother looks at him after carefully tending to him. He wanted to ask if he is doing well but hesitated.

After caring for his brother's injuries, the younger sibling accompanies him in his isolated, gloomy room. He can only smile as he silently wishes for his elder brother's quick recovery.

In the middle of his contemplation, his elder brother broke his silence.

”Can I entrust you to accomplish something?” the elder brother asked.

The younger brother's face lits up as he nods. His elder brother smiles in contentment as he leans to him and discloses his plans.

Meanwhile, in the Hidden Lake, Eu discloses her plans and concerns with her companions.

Despite her abilities, she can't always monitor the Borders and prevent everything from occurring. She still needs everyone's involvement and helps her out.

”Teia, can you make it rain?” Eu curiously asked.

Triteia is a water nymph and can easily manipulate this element. Of course, she can but why did Eu ask as she looks at her quizzically.

”It is so cold, Little Eu. Why do you want to make it rain? Even if I could, I might snow instead…” Triteia responded.

”No worries. If you can, I could take care of the rest.” Eu replied.

Eu smiles as she refrains from disclosing the entirety of her plans. Triteia can only agree with her.

Eu nods and smiles in contentment. She pulls a parchment from her wizardry storage and let Trieteia study the spell.

Triteia knits her brows and inspects the diagram. It consists of multiple layers of spells, but she has no idea what it can actually do.

Eu explains that she will cast an enchantment that draws power to her water spell. Water can generate magic by itself, and she will take advantage of that capability.

Meanwhile, Triteia can't comprehend what she is talking about. She just decided to agree and help her with the construction.

Eu pulls another scroll and hands over to Triteia.

She looks at the instructions and knits her brows. Everything seems complicated but straightforward at the same time.

Gwyddien is also there and reads the parchment on Triteia's hand. He can't help himself to be amazed by the woven magic — water, light, wind, fire, and void spell.

Eu's skills are simply peerless.

Triteia's water magic is the core, while Eu creates branches of other spells disguising it as rain. It is phenomenal.

Still, he can't figure out this enchantment's purpose.

It sounds like a conspicuous, magical trick show.

Triteia and Gwyddien wanted to inquire more about the spell.

While Eu wanted to indulge and explain, but she needs to cast it first before anything else. She promises to explain after and the reason for this immediate decision.

Triteia nods her head and agrees to help. She always trusts Eu's better judgment. If she needs this spell to be immediately enforced, she has a valid reason for doing so.

Eu smiles gratefully for her assistance.

Triteia casts the spell Eu requires.

Meanwhile, Eu closes her eyes, and the sky darkened. A cold gush of winds starts to blow, disturbing the once solemn place.

Loose leaves begin to fly and follow the swirling winds. Eu started casting a high-level nature wind spell.

Triteia holds her ground as the wind pierces through her. She can feel Eu is carefully intertwining two spells like her own.

A sphere of wind and water magic is formed.

Eu opened her eyes, and she cast another spell. Her purple amethyst eyes glow while she concentrates on intertwining another set of enchantments.

Eu is casting the spells so efficiently while Gwyddien can't help himself to be amazed by her skills. It looks so simple the way she is doing things.

This is the first time he witnesses her cast an enchantment, and he is awestruck. He never met anyone who can be as skilled as her.

Her graceful, precise movements are simply exemplary. Not even the Divine Witch Circe can do such an impressive feat.
