Chapter 563
The sharp iron knife rushed straight toward Caster Spellbound’s chest.The angry merchant’s face was twisted in pure hate. The screaming mob pressed in from all sides. Caster gripped his wooden walking stick.Deep inside his empty soul, the tiny, warm seed of new golden magic began to flare. It was a sun waiting to explode. Caster knew if he released it, he would blind the whole market, but he would also show the entire world exactly where he was.He had no choice. He braced himself to unleash the god-like power. But the golden light never came out.BOOM! A deafening explosion rocked the busy market square. It was not magic. It was a thick, heavy cloud of gray smoke and blinding white light.A metal cylinder had been thrown into the middle of the angry mob. It was a flash-bang grenade.The merchant screamed and dropped his knife. He covered his eyes, completely blinded by the flash. The men and women holding pitchforks and heavy stones fell backward, coughing and choking on the thic

The boy scrambled backward. He was completely panicked. His breathing was fast and shallow. He looked at the angry faces surrounding him. He was so terrified that he lost control of his mind.When a young, untrained mage panics, their magic can leak out. It is a defense mechanism, like a scared animal bearing its teeth.The boy threw his hands up to protect his face.ZAP. A tiny, bright blue spark of magic accidentally shot out of his trembling fingertips.It was a completely harmless, minor spark. It was the kind of spark used to light a candle or warm a cup of tea.But the blue spark flew through the air and hit the dry, cloth awning hanging over the merchant’s apple stall.The old, dry cloth caught fire instantly. A small, bright orange flame erupted on the edge of the awning.The fire was tiny. A single cup of water could have put it out in one second. But the crowd’s reaction was disproportionate. It was immediate, and it was violently insane."He is attacking us!" the merchant s

Inside the alley, a group of ten mages was arguing. They were not fighting normal citizens. They were fighting each other.On one side stood Guildmaster Thorne. He was the leader of the Iron Weavers Guild. He wore a heavy leather apron, and his hands glowed with faint, hot red fire. Behind him stood four nervous young apprentices.On the other side stood Guildmaster Lin. She was the leader of the Water Bearers Society. She wore flowing blue silk robes. Her hands were raised, and a sharp, spinning disk of pure blue water hovered over her palm like a deadly saw blade."You stole our daily bread rations, Thorne!" Guildmaster Lin screamed. Her face was red with anger. "The city banks pulled our funding! We have no gold left! My students are starving, and your boys broke into our pantry this morning!""We took what was ours!" Thorne yelled back. He stepped forward, raising a heavy iron hammer that smoked with heat. "Your water-mages refused to clean our drinking water! You locked your door

"Look at him!" the woman yelled. "He is one of them! He pulls the dirt magic! He is going to bring the gray ash to our homes!""Ash-eater!" a man shouted. He picked up a rotting, soft apple from a fruit cart and threw it.The rotten apple hit the young mage on the side of the head. It exploded into a messy, sticky paste.The young mage scrambled to his feet. He was crying. He looked at the angry faces surrounding him. He did not try to cast a spell to defend himself. He turned and ran as fast as he could down the street, slipping in the mud as he fled.The crowd cheered loudly as the boy ran away.Caster stood by a stone wall. His heart broke into a million pieces.These were not evil monsters. These were just ordinary bakers, farmers, and merchants. But fear had poisoned their minds. The political lie told by the High Council was working perfectly.The Council had blamed the fall of the Sage Tower on secret magic and dark spells. They had told the public that magic users were dangero

Caster Spellbound stood perfectly still. His old, rough brown cloak was completely soaked. The cold rain poured down on the dark, empty street of Glassview. The freezing water ran down his wrinkled face. He gripped his wooden walking stick tightly.Ten feet away, a tall man stood in the shadows. The man wore a long, dark coat and a wide leather hat. Water dripped from the brim of his hat. In his hand, he held a heavy, shining silver pistol. The gun was pointed straight at Caster’s chest.Caster recognized the man instantly. "Valen Cross," Caster whispered. His voice was calm, even though his heart beat a little faster.Valen was a deadly assassin. He was the greatest spy for the Twin Moons Consortium. A few days ago, Valen had helped Caster sneak into the enemy fortress. But Valen was a man who played his own games. Valen worked for gold and survival.Valen did not pull the trigger. He stared at Caster for a long, quiet minute. The only sound was the heavy rain hitting the stone road.

Caster gritted his teeth. He squeezed his eyes shut. “No,” Caster commanded his own soul. “Stay asleep.”He forced the golden magic down. He locked it away in the deepest, darkest box in his mind. The physical pain of suppressing the divine power was agonizing. It felt like swallowing a burning coal. But he could not reveal his power. If he used the golden light, they would know he was not a farmer. They would know he was the Rogue Vector.Caster let his body go completely limp in Mercer’s giant hands. He coughed weakly, playing the part of a helpless victim."Please," Caster gasped, acting as if the breath was being crushed out of him. "I told you... everything."Graves watched Caster carefully. He watched the old man's eyes. He watched the way his body hung limply in the air.Graves sighed. He waved his pale hand. "Put him down, Mercer," Graves ordered smoothly."But he knows something!" Mercer argued, shaking Caster one more time."Put him down," Graves repeated, his voice turnin
