As the flas of war was lit and continued to intensify, so remained oblivious to this or simply just doesn’t care.
“Seriously. You guys are starting your petty War now? Just when I’m finally on a vacation! Co on!” The God of ssengers, Hers, complained loudly as he just recently encountered a bunch of devils, angels and sorcerers throwing their attacks back and forth.
As for the village? It has long been evacuated and is now in ruins and turned into a battlefield thanks to their clash.
Right now, Hers was just looking for a place to stay at as he found himself tired after a mont of indulging in a red light district from a nearby town.
Just as Hers was tempted to leave and mind his own business, a devil noticed his presence and due to the wings on his boots, it mistaken him as an angel, albeit a weird one.
“DIEEE ANGELS!” Raising his War-axe, the devil jumped directly from the ground and imdiately reached Hers’s current altitude.
“Are you kidding ?” Hers stared at this attempt in a monotone expression. Although the devil’s stature is huge and his hideous face is scary, Hers have seen scarier faces than this.
With a simple flick of his wrist, Hers back-handed the devil back to the battlefield.
However, that would be a mistake he would soon regret as the other devils have taken notice of him.
“There! Another Angel!” A batch of low-class devils pointed their pointy nails towards Hers and flew towards him with their weapons brandished.
Hers’s fade twitched slightly.
‘Can’t I have so peace?! I was just passing by! I wasn’t provoking anyone!?’ Hers scread in his mind as a few devils managed to reach him and waved their weapons towards him.
Hers, known for his incredible speed, evaded them with ease, in his eyes, these devils were as slow as a snail.
“Weak.” He sneered, loud enough for the devils to hear.
He wasn’t being arrogant here, no.
He’s just stating a re fact.
Growl!
The devils, upon hearing his words, gritted their teeths in anger.
They were being humiliated right in front of them after all.
“Get his head!” Joining the ranks of devils is a High-class devil, his head also burning in anger.
Although his words weren’t directed at him but his anger issues combined with his sheer hate for the angels made it so whatever the Angels say, would always make him mad.
“Get my head? It would take you years before you can even catch up to my speed, much less take my head.” Hers arrogantly sneered as his figure vanished from their sight.
The devils could only hear the sound of wings flapping before their heads were taken from their shoulders.
This session repeated a few more tis with several devils. It doesn’t matter if it’s low or mid-class devil, even a High-class devil was no exception from the decapitation spree.
“Man, this is so fun! Too bad if father discovers this, he would be mad.” With a disappointed shake of his head, Hers took one last glimpse into the battlefield that was now littered with decapitated heads of the devils before flying off into nowhere.
The devils, who were left cowering beneath the fallen corpses of their fellow devils sighed in relief.
Finally, the ‘devil’ is gone! They all sighed in unison.
They have never encountered such a guy who was not only so fast that not even so Ultimate class devils could react but also likes to decapitate their heads like they’re so kind of vulnerable cattles.
“Who was that guy?” They all said under their breaths in unison, including the angels and the humans.

[Chamber PoV]
After settling with the battlefield and sending in the rest of the Mystic Guardians from the Sanctum Sanctorum to other battlefields after all, with the four students gone and kidnapped, there’s no point in having them protect the Sanctum Sanctorum.
‘How did he get past the Aegis of the Eternal Veil?’ I whispered under my breath out of confusion.
After all, the Aegis is supposed to protect the entire village from supernatural beings entering it.
Unless the children went outside the village which is highly unlikely as I specifically told them to stay at the village at all costs.
Which ans either Zekram has a ans to bypass the barrier I made or he found a loophole against the barrier.
Think Chamber, think!
What do devils use in the marvel world to enter the human world?
Wait a second?!
Suddenly, I finally realized what thod that Zekram could’ve used.
Human possession!
In the Marvel world, so devils has the ans to enter the human world and one of the famous and most used ones are possessing the inhabitants of the human world which are the humans themselves!
Goddammit! He must’ve possessed soone that is already inside the village. A villager probably.
If I were Zekram, in order to possess soone from the village is to wait for them to get out of the protected village and then plant so sort of mark inside the human.
This way, once the marked human goes back inside the village, Zekram can simply trigger the mark and successfully possess the human.
Shit! I should’ve expected sothing like this happen, I wasn’t just expecting it to happen this soon.
I already know this unconventional thod and yet I didn’t bother patching it up!
As I was tempted to slap my forehead for being such a failure, I realized it’s not worth it.
I might as well save the strength to save my students. After all, it is my fault they found themselves in such a situation.
Let’s see, Serafall didn’t tell the exact location, so I’m quite a bit blind here.
Maybe it’s one of the eting locations we used to had or worse, the headquarters of the Bael territory.
Knowing Zekram, he would definitely choose the latter as it is not only the safest place for him, but it is also the place I haven't been into.
Zekram knows about my portal, hence the most convenient location for him is his headquarters.
‘That dog.’ I clenched my fists as the conclusion I made.
No doubt I am right about this. I’ve been the one who has been cautious of Zekram the most and longest, so I know his cautiousness better than everyone.
Now, the only left question is how would I infiltrate sothing as large and protected as Bael Headquarters? I don’t even think I would be able to enter its territory without being stopped or questioned.
Should I break through it like a brute?
But by then, Zekram would have been alerted and escaped by the ti I get to him.
I need to get to him as quiet as possible.
Haha~
Why am I even having this kind of problem? I just have the perfect spell for it!

“You’re a bad man! Bad!” Inside a dimly lit hall, a huge cage can be seen hanging on the ceiling with four children tied inside.
Tam, the usual loud mouth among them was hurling heretical curses upon curses towards their kidnapper.
anwhile, Belle, Augustus and Faust were being quiet, taking the mont to try and think of how to get out of this predicant.
Thankfully, with Tam’s loud mouth, Zekram’s attention weren’t on them so they had so ti to brainstorm about their escape thods.
[What if we try to have Tam burst open this cage? Then we can go and snatch our rings?] Augustus proposed through the telepathic connection they ford.
The mont they woke up after being forced into a sleep in the village, they realized that they’ve been robbed of every possession they had and the most important of all were their magic rings that would’ve allowed them to conjure a portal to escape.
[August. This cage is sohow made of tal that stricts our usage of mana. It sohow suppresses our magic. It’s already a miracle you were able to form a telepathic connection with us.] Belle replied, making August blush in embarrassnt from being praised.
[W-Well, master always tells that I’m a magical genius. Maybe it’s that…] Embarrassed, Augustus tries to shift the praise to their master, Chamber.
[Guys Guys. I think I have a way to get us out of here…] Faust, who has been quiet since the mont he woke up, finally spoke, interrupting them.
[What?] Belle, eager to escape, asked.
[First, let tell you sothing. Before Master took in. I was able to cause a massive explosion that took out everything and everyone around out of anger. Master told that it is so sort of a powerful tool inside called the Sacred Gear. He intended to help how to use it again but with his tight schedule, it kept getting delayed.] Faust explanation caused varied reactions from his fellow disciples.
[Explosion?]
[Sacred Gear?]
Both Belle and Augustus turned to him in surprise.
How co they’ve never heard of this kind of thing before?
[If I could sohow muster to use to again. Maybe we have a chance getting out of here. After all, this cage only suppresses our magical energies but not the Sacred Gear as it is a tool not a magical energy.]
Faust’s words were et with nod of eager heads from Belle and Augustus.
[But how are you going to do it?] Belle asked.
[I’m not sure. Maybe I can just try to feel the sa feeling I felt back then. I just need so ti.] Hearing his words, Belle and Augustus nodded their heads in unison. Determined to buy enough ti for Faust to recall how to use the Sacred Gear.
‘Wish us luck.’ Belle prayed in her mind. While other part of her wishes that their master knows about their situation and is coming to rescue them right now.
After all, they’re still novices and a bunch of rookie, they just recently experienced their first murder and now they were placed in a very difficult situation.
“Master, where are you?” She silently cried to herself.
Unbeknownst to them, a certain soone was already coming to rescue them and she’ll make sure she’s successful.
