"Splat!"
With a mix of red and white bean curd-like substances exploding from his occiput, Marquis Orens’ expression forever froze in fear, regret, and reluctance...
"L... Lord Rein, I... I..."
And the last Third Level Crystallization Wizard of the Isodre School, upon seeing Rein kill three people in just a few seconds, even an Imperial Marquis without hesitation, was so shocked that he stamred incoherently.
"Don’t be afraid, tell your background and why you’re here." Rein smiled, addressing the last person.
Upon seeing the smile on Rein’s face, the person felt a sudden surge of great honor and encouragent, as if a drowning person grasping a straw. For a mont, he stopped stamring and quickly said:
"Lord Rein, I co from the Isodre School, under orders from Deputy Sect Leader Malcolm, to assist Marquis Orens..."
As he was narrating, suddenly, a complex mark on the right chest of his Wizard Robe flashed slightly.
"Witchcraft communication? Let’s hear it." Rein glanced and said.
"Yes... Lord Rein."
The Crystallization Wizard quickly injected spiritual power, and a projection symbol appeared in mid-air.
It was a ssage, not real-ti communication.
Normally, the most common communication thod for Third Level Crystalized Wizards is ssaging.
After all, maintaining real-ti communication requires a much higher spiritual power consumption, rarely chosen by non-Dawn Wizards.
A middle-aged man’s voice ca through: "Abort mission, return imdiately."
The words infuriated the Third Level Crystallization Wizard!
It was just half an hour short!
If only you had inford half an hour earlier, how nice that would be. Now that you’ve inford , it’s useless!
"You’ve been cooperative, so I don’t need to kill you for now. Later, escort to the Shirendil Plateau, to the base of the Isodre School, any problems?"
"N... no problem!" The Crystallization Wizard instantly understood, if he refused, he would die imdiately, leading the way back might offer a slim chance of survival, so he quickly nodded.
"Very good."
Saying so, Rein gently placed his hand on the other person’s chest.
As a ripple of dark silver flashed by, the person began to be slowly covered by a layer of dark silver tal.
"L... Lord..."
The person was terrified, thinking Rein would end his life.
"Don’t be afraid, I heard the Wizards of the Isodre School like to turn enemies into stone sculptures, perhaps tal sculptures are more aesthetic."
Until the person was entirely covered, including his face, Rein left two small openings near his nostrils for him to breathe.
Rein intended to imprison, not to kill.
Imdiately after, Rein carried the ’tal sculpture’, flickered his figure, and disappeared from the room once again.
Shortly after Rein left.
A maid held a bottle of fine wine, respectfully knocked at the door for a long ti, never hearing any sound from inside, causing her curiosity to rise.
So, she gently opened the door, and the scene made her scream!
"Ah!"
...
anwhile,
Rein appeared again, already near the Temple entrance.
"Carrying objects, no, carrying people through, does spiritual power consumption increase greatly?" Rein looked at the tal statue in his hand, contemplative.
Just now, he had used the newly mastered ability ’Shadow Shifting’ once again, but found the spiritual power consumption increased geotrically when carrying soone.
Thinking about it, if carrying individuals were easy, Quinnna’s value would greatly increase, and Second Prince Everton wouldn’t offer Quinnna so easily.
"So, currently this ability is mainly suitable for personal use."
"Additionally, areas protected by Witch Arrays cannot be directly traversed." Rein glanced at the magnificent Temple and pondered.
Previously he wanted to shift within directly but found significant resistance.
Though forceful entry might be possible, given it’s an allied area, entering violently isn’t appropriate, hence, Rein appeared near the Temple entrance.
....
A few minutes later, Rein casually walked into the Temple.
"Captain!" Angus, Evelyn, and Neoro excitedly exclaid.
"Lord Rein," Punishnt Knight Brandel smiled and said.
"Rein!" And the beautiful Jennifer lifted her long skirt hem, quickly coming beside Rein.
But she seed to rember the presence of others around, especially Lagaray nearby, thus abruptly halted two steps before, not instantly falling into Rein’s embrace.
While Barbarian maiden Lagaray, being a High Rank Fierce Warrior, had relatively better self-control, her pretty face still couldn’t suppress the joy.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine."
Rein proactively stepped forward and hugged the beautiful woman, comforting her.
Faced with Crystallization Wizards and Titled Knights, the pressure Jennifer felt as an ordinary person is imaginable.
Then, Rein went ahead and hugged Lagaray, stroked her silky hair, saying, "You’ve worked hard."
"Not at all, it’s good that you’re back." Lagaray, being a barbarian, daringly loved and hated, hugged Rein heavily, then kissed his cheek and said.
...
"Lord Brandel, thank you for not hesitating to help." Rein smiled, stepping forward to greet.
