“––I am your demise, snake.”Like a distant sound, Magi’s voice reverberated in the arena. It reached everyone as if he was just as close to them as he was to Dokuji, catching their attention entirely as they were silenced.His voice felt rather different, and along with it was a cold intimidation that reached the masses. “Big words, however, do you have the strength to back it up?” Dokuji readies himself, dashing forward once more to clash with the now new form Magi had taken.Dokuji had a gist that this could be a certain magic provided by the machine that converts Elemental Magics into a Unique one, however, it was impossible to generate two types of magic with one elemental magic as he already had Portal Magic. It didn’t add up. Perhaps there was more than that, making it all the more a mystery that he needs to know. “Unwise to challenge me.” Magi replied, ignoring the question as he saw Dokuji move forward, his eyes able to keep up with Dokuji now.Like earlier, Dokuji attempt
“Infinity Shift, Integration.”With his power now integrated into his Grant, Glazier, Magi would now be able to use it with the power of his ability.Although it should have been impossible to change it, for Magi's Grant, it was relatively easy due to it only being but a gun with an empty core after Magi couldn't constantly supply it with Ice Magic.“Enough of this! I will make it so you won't have to walk!”Dokuji lunged in, disappearing as soon as his feet left the ground. Magi could sense that Dokuji was close but with him moving faster than the wind can react, Magi couldn't pinpoint where he would appear. So to know, he would fire his pistol on the ground, opening the first and sealed portal, firing the next upwards as the sealed portal below him opens up the same time as he opened the other.Dokuji's attack came right after, missing as Magi reappears above him, launching a punch that delivered a constant velocity as they now began to fall indefinitely. "Keh! You–"Dokuji cursed
As the tournament of the Mixed Magic Arts concluded, the Res Trackers were ousted due to their affiliation with Magi.The tournament had concluded with Red as the winner, and without a fight, they lost against them once again.News about Magi's arrest had begun to circulate. The Cold Mercenary was now taken in custody, locked away at the high-level underground prison of Moonblight. Kira and the others knew they couldn't appeal otherwise now that Magi was in their hands along with the people's ire. With the heat focused on them, there was nothing they can do but wait it out."Cian's missing and Magi has been captured. This is the worse that could happen!" Kira shouted as she slammed her fist into the desk, breaking it down into two."Just what the hell happened?!" She ground her molars, frustrated at what had happened. It had been two days until that day. "Even though we didn't know that much of Magi's past, there was something that stopped us from doing so, to think that it was th
11 years ago, Magi and Cian were only normal orphans. However, that wasn't the whole truth. The moment that they were kept inside the orphanage, was also the start of their cultivation as future mercenaries.Magi, who showed all kinda talents in both intelligence and power became the first one to lure the eyes of that one single person, Shanti.Shanti, who was still young at the time, however, has the same look and smile, as if he never ages. He was interested in Magi's capabilities as a mercenary, but not only that, he had begun to claim him as his property.He would throw hardships in Magi's way. Be it accidents, or sudden raise in food prices and even the man who bumped into Teresa was someone Shanti had hired to do that.It was all made just to see Magi's almost expressionless face make a despaired expression.But that was not enough. He wanted to get close to him, see how he can break him, and finally see the weeping that Magi never showed anyone.Then, it came to him. An idea.
"What the hell... what the hell!"Standing atop the highest building in Moonblight, Cian screamed out his frustration, looking into the distance.Remembering those times when he had practically lived in luxury, getting almost everything he wanted, only to know that it came from the act of killing innocents.Cian believed that Magi had only taken missions that led them to eliminate condemned criminals in Newyark.However, it was not the case."That was all fucking hit fees."It was why he left the digitalizer. He immediately realized that what they'd led up until now was a life made from the blood of others, and Cian couldn't help but be disgusted by it.Even if Magi was his brother, this feeling in his chest, felt like a betrayal."––AGH!"Cia conjured fires in his arm, throwing it into the sky as it exploded along with his tantrum. He couldn't keep it all to himself.Soon enough, the sentient guards from below would start to detect his activities, seeing it as an act of terrorism as t
"It seems like you came back sooner." Greeting them warmly, Sumire spoke. They looked down at Violet and Sabrine as they arrived with the army of sentries."It must have been hard to go around the city without being noticed, not to mention with an army.""Not particularly. All we needed was to go through the sewerage." Violet responded as one sentry stepped up, seemingly wet.Sumire's eyes scrunched, seemingly disgusted upon hearing that. However, she would disregard that as she sighed. "Anyways, welcome to our base in Moonblight. It's not as big as the one at the Outskirts, but this is where we base ourselves in Moonblight. I'll have your other sentries... go somewhere.""..."With the rest of the sentries following another personnel, they were led to another place.Despite Sumire's humility, before them was an oval-like building that looked like an industrial organization's office. It was in District B, where most of the organized company buildings resided."How did you even get t
"I see. Alright. That's fine. It's fine..."Lowering the phone slowly, Kira sighed after the phone call. She would do it again as she turned to look into the window."What did Teresa say?"Saeko asked Kira after that call, seeing as how the conversation went, it seems like it was not good."She said that Cian is nowhere to be found nor Sabrine and Violet. They completely separated themselves from us."Kira lowered her head, holding her face with her two hands.She felt disappointed and frustrated at the same time, losing someone who was just as talented was a waste, not to mention that they were friends.She had thought that Magi had trusted her when he began to open up to her, but it seems like he hasn't opened up completely to her after all."Tsk. What am I doing wrong here?" She asked herself."You did nothing wrong, Kira. It's just that those two needs to deal with their problems. But I wish that they didn't have to involve us in it. Now, look at us."Vincent scoffed, his arms cro
An hour earlier, before the Pandemonium's siege on Red Trackers."What do you know...?"With his face leaning against the bars of the small window of the door, Magi glared at the two convicts that fell on their rear, both visibly scared by his actions."W-Wait. Don't you wanna get out first?!" "G-Geul. I think he's asking about something else..."As the two convicts spoke, they slowly began to realize what Magi meant by those words."Hal, I think he's asking about Toru. He's already dead, isn't he?"Geul, the taller convict looked at Magi, able to guess that Toru was dead even despite being locked up in there. It was enough evidence that they can know about news from the outside despite this being a maximum security prison.It meant that they know something about this place, and possibly, about Pandemonium."This is not about him. Tell me what you know about Pandemonium."Cutting straight to the chase, Magi didn't mince his words and asked. As soon as he mentioned Pandemonium though
