Chapter 724
The Great Square had been a trap. Just one hour ago, Caster Spellbound had stood on the edge of the massive, glowing green crater. He had prepared to fight Inquisitor Graves to save his friend, Sikoa. But Graves had not stayed to fight. Graves was a coward and a spy. When Caster’s golden magic flared, Graves had smiled his terrible, sick smile. Graves had grabbed Sikoa, stepped backward into the toxic green light of the torn dimension, and vanished. Graves had teleported away. He took Sikoa with him, fleeing directly to the heavily guarded borders of the Crimson Alliance, leaving his twenty Enforcers behind to shoot at Caster. Caster could not save her then. He had to use his golden gravity to knock the Enforcers to the ground and escape back into the shadows. He had failed to catch her, but he refused to let her die. Now, Caster stood inside a small, damp, lead-lined safehouse deep beneath the city. The room was completely hidden. It was lit by a few dim, white magical lanterns.
Chapter 723
Caster looked at the dying woman in the mud. He looked at the angry, rabid faces of the people charging at him. His heart broke completely. Inquisitor Graves had set him up. Graves had placed snipers on the rooftops. Graves knew that if Caster tried to be peaceful, the Inquisition could force the mob to attack by murdering their own innocent citizens and blaming it on Caster. They were willing to kill their own people just to make Caster look like the villain. The mob crashed into Caster’s golden aura. They beat their fists against the invisible wall of light. They screamed terrible curses at him. They threw mud and rocks. Caster stood in the center of the hateful storm. His golden eyes burned with tears. He could not turn their weapons to flowers anymore. There were too many of them. The golden magic in his chest was draining rapidly. His human body was failing under the immense pressure. Blood dripped from his nose and ears. If he stayed here and tried to be peaceful, the gold

The distance closed rapidly. One hundred feet. Fifty feet. Twenty feet. "Die, traitor!" the lead city guard yelled. He lunged forward, thrusting his sharp steel sword directly at Caster’s chest. Caster did not dodge. He did not block with his wooden stick. He simply raised his empty left hand. A soft, gentle wave of warm golden light pulsed from his palm. The golden light hit the guard’s sharp steel sword. The sword did not explode. It did not melt. It simply turned into thousands of soft, beautiful, glowing yellow flower petals. The guard stumbled forward, holding an empty hilt. The yellow flower petals blew into his face, smelling like sweet summer honey. The guard gasped in absolute shock. He dropped the hilt and fell to his knees in the mud. The rest of the mob crashed into Caster. A large man swung a heavy iron pipe at Caster’s head. Caster blinked his golden eyes. The heavy iron pipe turned into a splash of clean, cool, fresh water. The water washed over Caster’s face
Chapter 721
Caster Spellbound stopped walking. He looked up at a giant blue crystal hovering over a ruined bakery. He saw Elara’s face. He felt a deep, twisting sickness in his empty stomach. He knew she was about to tell a massive lie. "For days, we told you that the Rogue Vector—the man named Caster Spellbound—was a dangerous monster," Elara’s giant face looked down at the city. "But today, we have uncovered the absolute, horrifying truth."Elara pressed a button on her control panel. The image on the giant broadcast crystals changed. It showed a magical recording. It was the recording from the intelligence room inside the Crimson Engine. It showed Elias Thorpe, the evil, scarred leader of the Crimson Alliance. And standing right next to him was Caster Spellbound. Because the recording had no sound, the people of Glassview could not hear what Caster and Elias were saying. They could not hear Caster telling Elias that he was a monster. They only saw the two men standing close together in a

The dark, wet tunnels of the sewers were far behind him. Caster Spellbound walked up the broken stone steps and stepped out into the ruined streets of Glassview. The cold rain continued to fall from the pitch-black sky. The water hit his face, washing away the mud and the dark blood, but it could not wash away the terrible exhaustion in his bones. He was just an old man in a simple, torn gray shirt. He held a broken wooden walking stick in his left hand. In his belt, he carried a single, sharp steel dagger belonging to his friend, Sikoa. But he did not look weak. His gray eyes were completely gone. In their place, two solid, brilliant, burning golden suns illuminated the dark street. The warm, heavy golden light pushed the shadows away. It pushed the freezing rain away. The raindrops actually turned into soft, glowing white steam before they could even touch his skin. He walked slowly, but every single step carried the weight of a mountain. "I am coming, Sikoa," Caster whispered
Chapter 719
"Archmage," Thaddeus whispered. His voice was weak and wet. "They came... the men in black coats.""The Inquisition," Caster realized immediately. His jaw clenched in pure anger. "Graves.""Yes," Thaddeus coughed. "He took the rogue. He took Sikoa. He locked my students in the closet."Solon hurried over to the heavy steel closet door. He pulled a small iron pin from his pocket and picked the lock expertly. He pulled the door open. Kira and the other scholars spilled out of the closet. They were crying and shaking. Kira ran to Master Thaddeus and fell to her knees, hugging the old man. "They took her, Caster!" Kira wept, looking up at him. Her green eyes were full of tears. "Sikoa tried to fight them, but they used anti-magic bombs. Graves chained her.""Where did they take her, Kira?" Caster asked. His voice was incredibly soft, but it carried a terrifying, dangerous weight. "Graves said he was taking her to the center of the city," Kira sobbed. "He said he was taking her to the g
