Celine instinctively closed her eyes when the darkness surged towards her. At that moment, Link did exactly three things.

He ended the light distortion spell and erected a spiritual defensive barrier that he had recently acquired around Celine. He then cast a magical brand on the Red Dragon Magician known as Piceno.

The magical brand was almost undetectable and difficult to dispel. It ensured that its caster would be able to track down his or her target anywhere in the world.

When he was done, Link rushed to Celine’s side immediately. “How are you feeling?”

Celine shook her head, with one hand held against her forehead. “I’m alright. The darkness disappeared as soon as I closed my eyes. I probably didn’t close them fast enough, as my head’s throbbing now.”

Link looked at Celine’s face. Once he was sure that everything was alright and that she was not trying to put on a brave face, he turned around and strode towards the door. “I’ll go see who this person is!”

“Be careful. I think there’s much more to him than meets the eye!” Celine shouted after Link.

Link nodded. With one hand gripping on the handle of the Ode of a Full Moon sword, he exited the room. Sensing where the magical brand was, he made a dash towards it.

Back in the room, after putting on her clothes, Celine took out her rifle and came out on the veranda. She then propped up her rifle, ready to back Link up in his confrontation.

Seconds later, Link caught sight of the Red Dragon Magician Piceno outside the room. Strangely enough, he seemed to be heading towards the heart of the crack rather than trying to escape into the outside world.

Piceno was fast. He had also chosen to walk on an isolated path. However, it was daytime. Despite his efforts to avoid attention, he still managed to draw it to himself. Everyone was perplexed by the sight of Link and Piceno, the latter seemingly in a hurry to be somewhere.

“Stop him! Stop him this instant!” shouted Link while pointing at Piceno. He still did not have a clue as to who the man was or when he had infiltrated the realm crack, but his presence here troubled Link greatly.

The discovery of his presence had been made by accident. This had caught Piceno by surprise.

Link always hated situations like this, where neither side had come prepared, and there was no telling what would happen at any moment.

It was due to this uncertainty that Link kept some distance between himself and his quarry. He then psychically gave an order to a couple of Magicians nearby. “Keep back, don’t try to stop him. Let him pass through, but don’t let him get too close to the heart of the crack.”

Piceno was running straight towards the center of the crack. Maybe he already had a plan in mind, or maybe there was nowhere else he could run off to. In any case, Link decided to open an escape route for him so that he would not be driven into a corner and be forced to do something he would later regret.

The people up ahead stepped aside for Piceno to pass as soon as they heard Link’s voice, while Magicians and Warriors moved in on him from all directions. A Sunlight Warrior stood 60 feet away from the Red Dragon Magician, with his back facing the realm crack. If Piceno wanted to reach the center of the crack, he would have to deal with the Warrior in front of him first.

The Sunlight Warrior rushed at Piceno and roared, “Stop, in the name of the lord of Ferde!”

Piceno did not stop. Instead, he quickened his pace.

“Take him down!” shouted Link. One would only be put at a disadvantage by showing mercy to someone as dangerous as Piceno.

At that moment, everyone realized that Piceno was trouble. Hearing Link’s order, the Sunlight Warrior roared again, “Die!”

Boom! He slammed one foot into the ground and launched himself forward by activating Charge. His entire body emanated a dazzling golden light as he flew through the air like a golden arrow towards Piceno.

The ones Link had brought with him into the crack were all Elites. The Sunlight Warrior was in the early stages of Level-9. He would probably be able to charge into the wall of a small city in Norton Kingdom and leave a huge hole on it if he felt like it.

What happened next stunned everyone. The Warrior staggered all of a sudden in his trajectory, missing Piceno by inches.

What was even stranger was the fact that the Warrior showed no sign of stopping. He shouted, “You’re mine!”

He was now roaring and swinging his fists at empty air.
