Seak and Nevil stepped out of the portal and looked at the museum " Wow real secure " Seak said sarcastically " Hey Seak this place has a history and tight security " " Nevil we are fighting Ames who has power given by a warlock from a higher realm "
" Well at least we have cellphones to tell others about the location " " Maybe you shouldn't " Seak felt magic above " Seak put up " " I know " Seak calmly cast a shield and the floor above broke down .
" Hmm I wouldn't have expected someone would guard such a weak seal , but when the new disciple of the principal was bought here . I don't know what you were thinking "
" Seak are you okay " " He is and worry about Ames first " Nevil's helper warned him as Ames was pulled by a shining thread " I'm fine you idiot "
He pulled the enemy down but felt Ames about to fly and followed " What I would expect " Seak cast a physical spell of a hook and dropped it to catch the broken floor " Nevil help me out "
Nevil conjured some flames and chains to bind Ames while Seak connected the string to the hook and Nevil shot Ames while Seak attacked with his thread by making it take Ames's magic .
" It's futile to resist " " yeah we are attacking " Ames made a shield and tried to cut the thread but fails " This is not over you fool " Ames pointed down and struck the shield guarded by Seak's book of runes which was casting a barrier and a stealth spell .
" Pathetic " Seak frowned and retrieved his book of runes to see Ames fight for it " Ames stop it , if you let Severus into this realm you'll kill us all " Seak felt the magic he took hold of and frowns .
Seak used a thread and whispered at one end " Keep him busy " Seak disappeared and Nevil grunted , hoping Seak could finish and looked at the thread ' Hey , what does Seak's thread do ? " Nevil asked his helper thinking he could use it .
' It's a conductor for the magic you can use it but you have to control it or the magic might break the thread " Nevil looked at the thread and a bright idea came to his mind " Then I'll just enchant it "
Nevil pinched the air to seize a little magic and threw it to the thread allowing it to pull as the thread got denser which made it shorter " Seak whatever it is you are doing please finish it " Nevil whispered to himself .
" You shouldn't be resisting it will only get harder " Ames spoke in a loud and thunderous voice but without intention " All bad guys say that " Nevil felt an angry cloud and raised his arm releasing the chains to block it with a barrier .
" You are the bad guy for preventing his glory " ' Oh man it's the cringey and rusted words of a villain ' Nevil complained as he tried to summon chains but lightning kept striking " Argh stop with the lightning "
" You're right this is more efficient " ' Run ! " " Uh oh " rocks came to Nevil under Ames's command . He abandoned the shield and teleported with the ring but it was hard to see so his landing position was very random .
" Where'd you go ? " Ames didn't see any blood on the rocks " Here " Ames turned to see Nevil and light on his hand using it to temporarily distract Ames " Seak now would be a good time for that plan of yours " Nevil summoned some chains to hold Ames and Ames took hold of something hidden in the air .
" Finally something worthy of a gift to the lord " Ames healed his eyes and looked very satisfied at the book of runes to open it for inspection and see a blinding spell " What !? " the book burned as Seak revealed his presence .
" That should distract him long enough Nevil get us the hell out of here " Seak stepped on conjured barriers like they were platforms " Let's split for now " Nevil used the ring and teleported away from the dazed Ames .
He was too shocked which led to him dropping his guard and allowing Seak to throw a spell to paralyze his body .
Seak grunted seeing a figure trying to break the barrier set up by students to protect the shield . Seak ran down a slope and forcefully pushed the figure as some fog left their body .
" Berserker magic makes the user feel very strong and feel full of energy " Seak looked at the shield and at the fog of magic " I'll strengthen it maybe it will cause a riot with the enemy " he took possession of the fog like drinking water and gave the magic to the seal as the seal got stronger but the changes were noticeable .
He concealed himself again and ran out to find someone attacking the school ' Must be some people who enjoy power ' he run up the floor using conjured barriers and found a sorcerer blowing ice and breaking them with rocks .
' Another person losing control ' Seak conjured two-bladed daggers with no handle and made them spin letting loose on the sorcerer " You think you're strong ? " small stone pebbles rose from the ground and attacked the swords .
Seak threw a spell that creates momentum equal to the momentum of the pebbles making them fall while a few of his swords stab the sorcerer " Ergh " he held the blade tightly and pulled it out as Seak watches the pebbles sensing the magic that was imbued .
" Get out !!! " the lightning struck the stones chaining through the conductor enchanted pebbles " Smart " he canceled a few pebbles' enchantments to lessen the casualties of the surrounding sorcerers ' How do I deal with this crazy and smart guy without messing with the realm's magic ? '
The mad sorcerer smiled and raised his hands " You're worth fighting with full power " he struck his arms down as thunder dropped on Seak's position . Seak conjured a shield while being forced to the ground with one knee down ' He's stupid ' he pushed up the shield with two hands and felt pebbles aiming at his abdomen .
He also felt shields blocking the pebbles and hears shouts " Protect the sorcerer !!! " " Do not interfere " the mad sorcerer prepared a spell but Seak had accumulated the magic he gathered from the remnants of his opponent and dashed forward giving his opponent a big push .
He turned back and told the other students " Consider the debt paid " he look forward at the angry man as he took realization of the familiar magic Seak was using " YOU !!! " ' He just took the little bits of higher realm magic that was around the area ... He might be a great obstacle to lord Severus '
Seak made chains with sharp edges and started whipping the air as the chains were duplicated and separated . The loosed chains flew to his opponent as they were stopped by thunder " You are strong come serve lord Severus . " clang clang clang Seak connected the chains and made them turn to create a train of loose chains flying to the barrier shielding his opponent .
" This is of no use cease your struggle and become Lord Severus's servant " but he was caught off guard by Seak's lack of concern " I don't think I will " the opponent saw the chains returning to him and see a big opening in front of his lower body as he sees Seak collecting the chains .
" Quite interesting and simple tactic " the collection of chains raised above his hands as he pinched his fingers with a sphere floating in between " Such magic is not something you can handle " " Maybe not but neither will you "
Seak clenched his middle finger and put his thumb above it whilst the small orb of magic compressed from the enemy's barrier flew between his ring and index finger " Bye bye " a flick sent the orb through the barrier and hit the stomach " And just to be sure " showed his other hand showing another orb as it flew to the orb with a homing spell .
The orb hit its mark as the two fused and exploded . The sorcerer's body was still fine but he had broken limbs that were infected with barriers preventing it from healing " You'll be a good experiment subject " Seak sent the half-beaten body to his storage .
' I should probably protect the school while Nevil is gone ' he gathered the leftover magic laying around as he looked at the sorcerers returning to their defensive positions ' Right I should visit the ward too ' Seak went inside and saw many injured students and went in to help .
" Oh hello you must be the guy from this morning " a mature lady talked to Seak as he was stitching back the wounds with magic " Oh hello is there anything you need ? " " No just ... I hope you forgive Iana she tends to seduce others to get a higher position " " Are you her mom ? " " No I'm one of the teachers who knows her " " Well she died so no way for me to apologize " Seak made a nonhurtful comment as he didn't add any thoughts rather than a fact .
" Right she did die " Seak took a deep breath and looked at a dead body being escorted out " Okay I'll at least apologize to her corpse " Seak got out of the ward and went to the place where he can find the corpse " Hey where is Iana " " Oh her body is over there " " But there's nothing that looks like her " they both looked at where the sorceress pointed and found no corpse .
He took a sniff of the air and picked up a familiar and rotting stench ' I got an idea on what happened to her ' he followed the stench as he walks as quickly as he can ' And I thought this is the last time I could find that kind of magic but to think she received his help ' he took the magic he collected and started creating electricity as the surrounding students felt danger .
" Don't worry I am just disinfecting " the electricity hit some students but didn't affect their concentration ' Where is she where is she ' Seak kept looking as he followed the path where brighter electricity was ' Wait she might be tricking me ... Then I'll play make believe ' he narrowed his eyes and put on illusion glasses as he spies around walking the same path guided by lightning .
" Here you are " Seak raised his hand and slammed the lightning to the ground as a great portion conducted its way toward the hidden threat " What the ? " Seak looked at the sorceress in front of him and realized she wasn't Iana but the one he fought years ago .
" I can't believe you went to apologize " " And I can't believe how much of an apology you needed for you to forgive me ... let me guess torturing me and making me your servant " an electricity hit its point as Seak sighed " Of course , you would still be alive " " Evacuate " some students alarmed everyone as Iana grabbed a student and started to drain his life until Seak threw a spell blade cutting her hand off .
" Ugh , you bastard " the student hit her hand out and started to run " Are you the combination of thunder and necromancy ? " strings took her hand as they stitched her arm back " You will pay for that " Iana looked at Seak and raises her hand at the direction of a town burial grounds .
Clang Seak struck Iana's barrier with a conjured sword as she strikes back by thrusting her open arm at him " I thought you can only stand behind the shields of the knights " Iana told Seak " That should be a necromancer who stands behind their army " Iana smiled as she cast necromancy to the bodies' vices .
The vices became ghastly figures and flew to Seak as he hears " Why didn't you bring me back " " You could've saved me " " How could you " they screamed right at Seak but because Seak never saved them they only made complaints " You should choose them wisely the only thing they will do is complain for what I could've done "
Seak clapped his hand , spreading the vices as Iana gathered them and fling them at Seak again , who sent them back at her as she heard complaints of unfairness . Seak wiped his sword turning it from a normal blade to a black frame that looks like a drawing where lines were used to draw and decorate the blade .
He stabbed the vices bringing them inside his sword and felt more coming ' She is a little stupid ' Seak slashed to bring the vices of the sorcerers inside the frame as the resulting work became a dark sword emitting a mix of gas .
Seak dashed to Iana and was blocked by a shield familiar with the school's magic " You should've paid attention ... this corpse is more than capable of using the previous owner's magic " the sorcerers started sending vices at Seak as he made another sword to trap them inside the frame .
' Of course , she would but as long as this army is distracting me with the required control of Iana then I just have to keep it this way so no one will come here ... unless they have a mage who is hiding but there are many sorcerers who are concentrated to guard the principal '
He jumped while slashing down and saw Iana ' Despite being an undead she is stronger because of the perfect fusion of two different magic ' Iana smiled raising her hand . Seak turned in the direction to see the corpse of the necromancer emit her vices as it struggled to get out of the body .
The vice was so great that Iana smiled sending it to Seak who started to fight the vice hearing her scream " You killed my husband , my child , my family " " Yeah don't care you deserved it " Seak threw the sword down on Iana's feet breaking the frame allowing the vices to surround Iana as they inflicted wounds at her .
" Why were you alive " " You were a scum b**** seducing the masters " Iana tried to take control but the vices were too strong for her to do anything other than shielding a few attacks . Seak was on the other hand busy dealing with the giant vice " Necromancy has a branch that extracts vices she seems good at it . "
He flew to the ground and started to run as the vice followed him yelling out " Come back, murderer !!! " " Says you " Seak kept running as he heard the annoying voice coming from the vice . He ran to dead sorcerers as the vice of the necromancer followed him ' But it doesn't mean I can't do the same on another trait '
A glow was emitted from the ground as virtues were extracted and followed behind Seak with the vice chasing him as he reached the place where dead sorcerers are at . The virtues following him were turned into a shield as the vice tried to break it .
Seak kneeled on the ground as he spread his magic and whispered " Help me with this next breath I give " virtues were extracted from the corpse as they started to fight the powerful vice ' Now to buy time and fight Iana ... this way no other stronger subordinates will try to attack the school . '
Seak figured out that Severus would know what was happening because he analyzed his magic . He found that they were live streaming the action which meant Severus would know Seak's ability to take the enemy's magic . Iana using necromancer was a good way to stop him from attacking the forces who were destroying the much inferior shields .
' But it's only some time until Severus finds out those shields are like a product of a factory ' Seak found Iana holding a few vices out ' That's still enough for me ' " Over here " Seak taunted and aggroed her attention by showing her the magic he used to repel and insult her .
" Why you ! " Iana lost her cool and ignored the vices whilst virtues hidden behind Seak appeared and reinforced the magic into a shield blocking away Iana as she tried to force her magic derived from necromancy to give Seak instant death .
' Not a bad sorcerer to derive instant death from necromancy ... too bad you can't even handle your anger ' Seak stomped the ground casting a magic circle budging a brick up to trip Iana a little making her head go done as he pressed the ground and swung the other leg kicking her away using the same magic that pissed her off .
" You are belittling me ! " Iana screamed at Seak while gaining her ground " Yes I am " Iana lost her cool and started to show him an even more powerful magic " ' As expected of necromancy crafted from a high-level lich '
Iana gathered all the vices and created death magic and shot it at Seak ' Too easy to anger ' he stretched his hand down to the level of his knee and swiped the magic and the virtues to his closing hands .
Then a circle was drawn releasing the magic and virtues as a net was formed and caught the magic Iana released " You can't keep fighting me forever " Seak was pushed back trying to keep the magic from going any further as the two spells battled in the form of an orb .
" Neither can you " the winds were pushing both of them away as Seak motioned for help from surrounding students " Help our fellow student " they lined up and cast simple spells to block Iana's control over her magic .
" Thanks " Seak pushed for a little and took control of the entire magic with the battling death and shield magic and the opposites of virtues and vices . He pulled the magic close to him and corrected any errors putting the death and vices in the center blocking them with the shield whilst adding the virtues to protect and empower the shield .
" Sorry but goodbye " he threw the magic as it opened and covered Iana trapping her to deal with her magic and the vices which killed her . They all heard screams coming from the golden sphere with green and dark lights emitting from some holes .
The separation between realms broke messing up all of the space laws and the mana and magic on the air .
' I'm outta here ' Seak saw Nevil appearing using his ring " Hey where are you going ? " " To the higher realm of Severus , I can battle him there without being noticed " " By who ? " " A higher existence of powerful magic and forbidden knowledge "
Seak opened a portal amidst the chaos of two realms to find himself outside a castle he heard the tall grass rustling louder than his walk and sighed " You know following me is a bad idea right Nevil ? " " Oh come on I still have to take care of the problem with Severus "
" And leave the principal without a good helper additionally once you did take care of this ordeal I won't send you down and you won't use my ability to travel realms by taking it until you can do it without having emotions copied with it "
Seak kept walking making Nevil run to him " Why should I not copy your emotions ? " " Because I use a similar technique to learn magic because to me it was very hard to hold back " " What do you mean by that ? "
" Answering the second last question I have reexperienced the lives of others while they don't have any emotions , once you remember that part of the memories you will begin to question your identity when you receive those memories "
" So like a DID ? " " Yep so try not to let those memories pop out and change absorbing memories to subconsciousness to actively reexperiencing the memories that are required for that specific subject or branch "
" That's the idea ? " " Yes but you have to block off the emotions and think of it like a live show where you will be with the audience " " Right ... another question wanna just teleport there ? " " NO ! "
Nevil backed off a little since this was the first time Seak shouted to him " Uh , Why ? " " The mana of this realm is too much for your feeble little ring " " What do you mean feeble this ring was a treasure from another realm "
" Lower realm to be accurate and it needs to adapt to this realm's mana or magic before it can be used " " Then can't you portal us with your magic ? " " Can't do , I might open up more portals since the higher realm is trying to absorb your lower realm making some twists and turns on space "
" You sound like you experienced this situation " " Why yes I did and didn't " Seak stopped in front of a barrier and touched it " A realm separation barrier " " What's that "
" To avoid any damage done to a realm during an absorption , a barrier is erected or at least some mages do so . That barrier prevents some fragments of the realm from being absorbed from exiting " " But why would they contain a realm around a castle ? " ...
" Nevil , why do you think that of all lower realms ... Severus chose yours ? " " Uhm because we have shields and he didn't like to lose ? " " Think again what thing or someone do your realm have that Severus wants ? "
" Valuable things hmm What is the difference between higher and lower realms ? " " Higher realms have powerful magic , lower realms have simple and easy-to-control magic " " Oh I know an artifact that has a large magic input and output " Seak shook his head at Nevil
" Wait ... what was that you said about our art of magic having more thoughts than the higher realms ? " " I meant to say that your arts or techniques are more precise than the higher realms "
" THE GRIMOIRE " " Good guess but no " " What !? " " Nevil what Severus wants that is in the lower realm isn't knowledge of the shields or anything belonging to the Lower realm ... what he wants is ... "
...
Right after Seak and Nevil left the school the masters and the principal are creating a seal " Principal what about the students ? " " Let them defend this place we are working something even harder than this "
" What if they die this time ? " the principal froze looking at the masters " Then we will continue and make sure that Severus does not defeat us " they all gather in a circle and started to create a shield to protect the realm .
...
" The principal " Nevil was shocked " Wait I thought they wanted me ? " Seak sighed and continued to walk " Nevil when I say something that does not belong to the realm you are not the only one . "
" So you are saying that the principal is also the same as me ? " " Not entirely but let's say she has something that doesn't belong to the realm " " What ? " " Talk later the barrier is open and the guards are alarmed "
Nevil dodged a rock and felt the magic of the higher realm " Your right about the higher realms having strong mana on the air " " Don't use that ring or it'll pop and create more portals than we can handle "
Seak looked at the cannons in the distance " I get that already " Nevil conjured a shield and blocked another boulder coming . While he slowly loses control of keeping the mana together and letting it break .
" Seak how the hell do you keep the shield together ? " Nevil pulled the mana together like he was lifting a heavy weight for only a few seconds before dropping it " Experience " " How does that help ? Give me a quick lesson ! "
Nevil started to take only a little mana to strengthen his body " Why does it hurt so much " " Yeah bad idea to use enhancement with such strong mana " Seak created two platforms and jump to grab Nevil away from a landmine spell Nevil accidentally stepped on .
" This is war Nevil and we are fighting against too many people at once so you better think smart instead of work hard " Nevil heaved a deep breath and saw people casting spells to fire " Yeah you're right "
Nevil conjured a spell on his foot and stomped the ground to spread the spell lowering the temperature " You know you could've killed yourself " Seak said having wrapped his body with a warming spell .
" O-o-oh th-that's s-so emba-barassing " Nevil shivered thanks to the cold he created but it did do a number to the barrage of fireballs . Seak threw Nevil a warming spell and looked at the walls of the castle .
" You know instead of staying here we should just sneak in and destroy it from the inside " " Are we using the traitor tactic we don't have time for that " " Don't worry the moment I left a shield strengthened by the magic of theirs "
A boulder was thrown in their direction " I already had a plan " Seak backed a little and Nevil followed him .
" Did that kill them ? " " Pretty sure it did they are lower realm sorcerers they couldn't possibly handle the mana of a realm far from theirs " " What about the traitor ? " " The one who manages who broke the mind control spell ? "
" The soldiers were divided by sorcerers or mages who are using mind control on them to amass their troops . But some soldiers aren't mind-controlled they were supposed to be the prime suspects but those soldiers are just soldiers but it doesn't make them any more dangerous . "
" Oi those Lower realm dwellers don't spill light red blood , we do " they looked at the boulder stained with the clear light red blood of their own . They also found water containers under the boulder of the many names of the mages and the soldiers .
" Only the mages were under the mind control spell , but it wouldn't mean that the soldiers can't control magic in secret . Severus has a wide range of ideas that pops out of his head , While one of them may be a scenario of what he is experiencing , it is also a bad thing . "
" Lord Severus , we can't find the traitor but it is among our ranks . " " They may have been stolen from the real traitor to disorient our order ... " " But who is it ? " " A lower realm can't possibly get past our defenses it may be someone of our realm or higher "
" If he chooses a scenario he will concentrate on that scenario as the rest of them thins and disappears or fades . So he is someone who can see a wide grass field and he will walk in the direction he highly suspected . "
" Sir we captured a few spies among the ranks of the soldiers " " Great I believe there is still more , good work in finding them in a matter of minutes " " Yes sir thank you for giving me such praise "
" But who said we shouldn't control his path and trick him to keep walking that path " a soldier was killed by a hooded figure and disappeared into the shadows that the dusk sun cast.
" Sir there are still traitors " " What about the believer faction they always obey the rules of the realms and believe in the wall that protects each realm from others "
" As he grows more impatient , he loses more control of himself and will not even notice the frequent attacks . We can keep this game going as dusk ends and midnight strikes . "
Shadows got taller as the sun slowly sets leaving more dead bodies caused by fatal attacks and gruesomely killed allies framed to be traitors as the calming sunset disappears .
" He will relax at one point letting his guard down " " Then we strike " " His guard may be down but the real traitors won't be all those dead people are enough to give them an opening and possibly we won't be doing much "
" But should continue just to be sure that everything goes well " Seak threw Nevil a soldier's clothes he made from a copy of the soldiers they killed " Come on let's act as the "real" traitors of Severus or maybe the rebellion "
" So am I the rebel or are you the traitor " " Neither , that little mind game isn't working on me Nevil " Nevil laughed a little or chuckled " Worth a try to get a record of tricking you " " You remind me of my brother "
" Really ? " " Except for the stupid part , I could never be able to lie or hide the truth properly to him either he finds his way out of it . " " Offended with the first part " " Then again you remind me of my sister small and innocent always helping others . "
" I'd like to meet her " " Yeah enough chit chat let's go " they walked into a secret meeting place disguised as a normal rebel and traitor " Someone has allowed an opening which of you factions did it "
The traitor group was looking at the rebel factions who are against Severus's way of doing things " We thought it was you which is why our schedule was a bit delayed " " I know who " Nevil said following Seak's script .
" Remember that today was the day where Severus invades a lower realm " " Are you telling me that someone found a small opening and widened it " " Yes , but we don't know which faction it was "
" Then we still don't know if they are an ally or not " " I do " Seak spoke out making sure their disguises are still intact " They come from the lower realm they found the small opening " " How do you know ? " Seak showed them a white cloth stained with Nevil's blood .
" They spilled blood redder and darker than ours . Their spells broke apart after some time ... but it was profound but chaotic because of our mana . " " How do you know ? " " I found that information in the castle , heard gossip between mages who were controlled "
" How did you find out ? " " They had the same speaking pattern , the eyes of the mages were no window to the soul but a wall . " " So the number of mages was suddenly thinned because they were the pawns of the mages that were framed ? "
" No , they were hidden and drugged until the remaining mages can control them or when the staff has enough power to do so " " So when are you suggesting we strike Severus his guard is still up " " No he's not even thinking about internal affairs anymore , those lower realm dwellers have already given him the satisfaction of a job after all "
" Then we strike at dawn to be sure everyone gets some rest "
