Damien was the first to act, as he swiftly moved his hands to his face and tearing off his Keith’s skin, and revealing a gleaming golden mask.
Beneath the mask, there was no expression at all, he was emanating an icy aura.
The only visible feature was the space between the eyes, which Terran fixated on.
Terran’s gaze fixated on the srizing charm exuded by the pupils before him.
He carefully studied the intricate details of the golden mask, yet found himself unable to discern any significant information from it.
He also realized that the mask possessed a powerful concealnt ability, preventing him from using his ntal energy to uncover Cardinal Damien’s true appearance.
"Well, well, I thought we were making progress and that I would finally see your real face, Who would’ve guessed you had yet another disguise beneath the first one?, How long have you been playing this Keith ga?" Terran asked playfully, while maintaining his battle-ready stance.
The Cardinal’s green flas intensified, signaling his growing seriousness.
Terran could sense the shift in the atmosphere.
Suddenly, a loud crack and a booming sound caught Terran’s attention.
He turned to the Minotaur, whom he had previously overlooked despite being their initial opponent.
The Minotaur unleashed his Domain, causing a flickering broken crown to materialize on his head.
The Cardinal’s eyes changed, even though he still wore his mask.
Terran couldn’t see his emotions, but he knew that things were about to escalate to a whole new level of difficulty.
#At the War God Mage Academy#
"Ergency, Elder! The power levels released during the Blood Moon Battle in Latvia City have far exceeded our estimates,"
a young mage rushed into Elder Alfred’s peak , shouting.
The old man, who had been lazily lounging about, groaned in annoyance at the sight of the approaching mage.
"Beatrice, please help get rid of this troublemaker, Co up with any excuse you can think of, as long as I don’t have to deal with him,"
Elder Alfred said, his snoring almost causing his nose to twitch.
Beatrice observed from the sidelines as her master gave her a command she had no interest in carrying out.
"I won’t do that, master, Soone’s life might be in danger, You should take responsibility for your duties,"
she replied, her face remaining cold and devoid of visible emotion.
"You ungrateful disciple!, How dare you speak to your master like that?, And this isn’t even my responsibility, It was that Dean who put in charge, He’s always been a thorn in my side, constantly trying to shorten my sleeping hours, Ahhh, I can’t take it anymore! I’ll kill everyone responsible for cutting into my rest ti!" Elder Alfred exclaid.
Initially, he had been calm, but upon realizing his precious sleep was at stake, he flew into a fit of anger and carried the young mage who had delivered the ssage.
Beatrice couldn’t help but smile as she witnessed her master move for the first ti in days.
She had tried everything to motivate him, but all her efforts had failed.
The Dean had been relentless in assigning him more work, which led to his decision to retire from taking on disciples.
Although Beatrice knew he was a skilled master with a vast knowledge base, his laziness was undeniably a Big flaw.
"Co back safely, master,"
Beatrice whispered silently as she watched her master depart from the academy in a streak of light. She then returned to the book the old man had given her to read.
The book’s covers were torn, but the contents remained intact.
On the first page, there was a title that read, "Strings of Illusion: Unveiling the Puppeteer’s Art."

#anwhile, inside the Abyss Realm near the Orcs’ kingdoms...#
"Finally, we can remove the crown from your head after waiting for so long," Arthur grumbled.
They had been waiting all day for the crown to beco ineffective, allowing Alec to return to his normal state and use his mana.
"Just a few more minutes, it should be happening soon!" Agnes added.
"I can’t wait!" Knight chid in.
They had all eagerly wanted to venture deep into the Outer Ring of the Abyss battlefield after Jas had willing explained to them where Igor wanted them to spend five days.
Although it was just the outer ring of the Abyss Battlefield but, it was a place where the geniuses of the second dinsion races engaged in life and death battles.
The longer they stayed, the greater the rewards, but also the longer they stay the greater the danger involved.
And With their cultivation levels increased, they felt confident and eager to test their strength against others, after being cooped up in the edge of the Abyss battlefield.
