2026-09-20 03:00:48The following day, I found myself sitting in the garden of the Lozano estate with Alice.
The estate was unusually lively compared to the quiet atmosphere I had become accustomed to. Servants moved through the grounds preparing for tomorrow's fireworks festival, while decorations were being carried from one part of the estate to another.
Tomorrow was more than just a celebration.
For the Lozano family, it was a day of remembrance.
Alice had apparently already learne

Chapter 82: The Unnatural Power
Elira stood beside me, surrounded by flickering flames that burned within a layer of frost.Cold Flame.I hadn't seen her use it like this in a while.The pale flames danced around her body, intertwining with the ice beneath her feet without consuming it. Every movement she made left behind a thin layer of frost, while the heat from the flames distorted the air around her.There was excitement in her eyes.After everything that had happened, she finally had access to her Unique Skill again.But she wasn't reckless.Even with Cold Flame flowing freely through her body, I could see the caution in her expression.She knew exactly who we were facing.I shifted my gaze toward Valen, who remained completely still with the same blank expression he had worn since our arrival, devoid of anger or any trace of emotion.What happened to him?Zinnia had told me about Valen before.From everything she had gathered, he should have been around Class 6.Not Class 8.There was a massive difference betw
Chapter 81: Partners
I quickly scanned the ruined hall before my gaze settled on Elira, who was tightly holding an unfamiliar woman with long pastel-colored hair against her chest.The woman looked unconscious, but the way Elira held her made it obvious that she wasn't just some random person.Elira looked exhausted, yet she refused to let go of the woman, while Balthazar stood beside them, guarding her as well.Who is she?I couldn't help but wonder.There was clearly something important going on between them.My gaze shifted to the other side of the hall, where the three mercenaries Zinnia had mentioned stood together.They were still fighting the man across from them, but a beautiful woman wielding a single sword immediately caught my attention.Hmm...I stared at her for a moment.There was something familiar about her.Where have I seen her before?I couldn't remember.Before I coul
Chapter 80: Against a Class 8 Mage — Part 2
I arrived at the Adelram estate, but something immediately felt wrong.At first glance, the area seemed completely normal. However, when I focused on the Adelram mansion, I could sense something sinister coming from inside.Something happened.I was about to move forward when I noticed someone following me.I didn't turn around immediately.It was Lucia and my sister, Alice.They were hiding well, but with my Unique Skill active, I could still sense their presence. The sinister mana coming from the mansion had made my senses even sharper.I decided to play along, turning the corner as though I hadn't noticed them before stopping to wait.Sure enough, someone suddenly rushed toward me.Instead of pretending to be surprised, I simply stood there with my arms crossed as Lucia froze, Alice stopping just behind her.I raised an eyebrow as I looked between them."Why are you two here?"My gaze settled on Lucia before shifting to Alice."And you even brought Alice with you?"Lucia immediatel
Chapter 79: Against a Class 8 Mage — Part 1
The hall was almost unrecognizable, its marble floor cracked beneath the aftermath of the battle as smoke drifted through the air and shattered stone lay scattered across the room.At the center of it all stood Valen Adelram.His expression remained completely empty.His eyes held no recognition, only a hollow emptiness that made him seem like a completely different person.He simply stared at the people standing before him as though they were obstacles that needed to be removed.Elira stood behind Kyla, Sven, and Stefano, her eyes fixed on the man she had known since childhood, yet the figure before her now felt like a complete stranger.Balthazar stood several steps away with his fists clenched at his sides before his eyes suddenly shifted toward the edge of the ruined hall, where someone lay motionless among the debris.A woman with long pastel-colored hair lay motionless against the floor, and Balthazar's eyes widened the moment h
Chapter 78: The Fallen Duke
Everything was already in motion.Inside the Adelram estate, Elira stood with the three mercenaries, Kyla, Stefano, and Sven, facing the current patriarch of the Adelram Ducal Family.Valen Adelram.Or what remained of him.He stood motionless in the center of the hall, his once-proud expression gone, leaving behind only a blank, lifeless stare devoid of anger, hatred, recognition, or any trace of the person he once was.Yet the overwhelming magical pressure radiating from his body was more than enough to make everyone in the room understand the situation.He was a Class 8 mage.Kyla tightened her grip on her weapon.Sven stood beside her, his usually emotionless face slowly changing as he stared at Valen, while Stefano's constant anger gave way to unease.Elira remained behind them with her hood still covering most of her face, her gaze fixed steadily on Valen.This isn't the man I remember.Elira remembered Valen from her childhood as a kind man who had always treated her warmly. He
Chapter 77: Preparation Complete?
The carriage finally reached Adelram Territory in the afternoon.The journey had been quiet and uneventful, with only the steady sound of the wheels rolling along the road and the occasional movement of the horses breaking the silence.Inside the carriage, Elira sat quietly beneath her hood while Kyla handled the reins near the front with Sven and Stefano beside her, the three mercenaries remaining mostly silent throughout the uneventful journey.That changed when the Adelram estate finally appeared in the distance, its imposing walls stretching across the horizon as the road ahead led them steadily toward the sprawling grounds.At first glance, nothing seemed unusual, with the quiet roads leading toward an estate that appeared to be functioning as normally as any other afternoon.Servants could be seen moving through the grounds, while guards stood at their assigned positions.Yet the sight stirred Kyla's instincts, honed by years as a merc
