Magnus didn't expect that he would be defeated using the same trick..

He had strengthened and improved his control over his Demonic Eyes just to ensure that he wouldn't be defeated by this lowly mana-draining technique.

However, because he was controlling his Flame Dragon Lightning, he had difficulty activating the powers of his implanted eyes.

It doesn't mean that he can no longer activate these eyes but it would require more effort and he only planned to do it if he noticed that Vincent started casting another Mana Art.

In the end, he failed to notice the Mana Drain's activation until it was too late.

The drain in his mana was too subtle that he didn't notice immediately.

"Tsk.. Just what kind of technique is that.. I'm not even near you.." Magnus grumbled as he recalled that Vincent's Mana Drain before has short cast range. Even if it had gotten larger, the draining rate shouldn't be that fast if the distance was wide..

"It was slightly improved.. In any case, I think I've already seen enough.. Should we end the night here?" Vincent said.

"What? I haven't even---" Magnus wanted to say something more but he suddenly looked up and noticed Shane and Brycen watching them.

"Hmph!"

He immediately turned around and left the training ground. It seems that he still respects the 3rd and 4th Disciples. Furthermore, the reason why he went here was to blow some steam off because he knows that the 30th Tower was probably destroyed by now.

Although he didn't want that to happen, it would probably be a miracle if the first disciple somehow won and defended the Tower.

Magnus sighed at this as felt that his actions were futile..

As soon as he left, the soldiers including Ayla and Elena started celebrating Vincent's victory.. If it wasn't late at night, Vincent would probably invite them to a drink.

Their night ended just like that as he worriedly looked at the villa where his master is resting.

***

Three days had passed and Ignacy has still not woken up.

According to Thyrus and Levent, passing over the title of the Tower Lord to Mikhail took a lot of stress on his body.

The ceremony didn't just involve passing over the staff but also a World Essence..

Vincent had no idea about this new word but it seems like it was some sort of powerful liquid that will stay in the Tower Lord's body to strengthen him and increase his talent in magic.

There could be more effects from having this but only the Tower Lords are truly aware of its secrets.

Because it left Ignacy's body, he has been weakened by a lot and if not for Vincent's top-grade potions, he would probably be in an even worse condition.

"Are you guys ready?" Vincent asked after seeing Ayla, Turhan, Faviona, and Dianne.

Vincent has been waiting for them to get ready since he's planning to bring Krusk to the Silent Creek Dungeon and he needed a few people that will go with him.

As soon as his plan was leaked, these four immediately volunteered since they were all interested in the Mythical Beast's transformation.

Well, it wasn't a sure thing that Krusk can transform after going there. However, this young mythical beast might find an inspiration to turn back to his human form.

This is still so much better than doing nothing at all.

"We're ready!"historical

"Vincent, can you really not help me? I just want some drops of his blood.. If he transformed into a human, there might be some changes in his blood.. right? So it's better to do it now before we go to the dungeon.." Faviona whispered as soon as she got near to him.

She's really interested in the Mythical Beast's blood and perhaps, any Alchemist would have the same reaction.

"I'll try to speak with him but it will still be his decision."

"That's good enough!" Faviona clasped his hands in joy as if it was already guaranteed that she'll receive the drop of blood she was requesting.

She then swiftly entered the Vermillion Hawk and docked outside his residence..

"I apologize.. My master has been lacking some inspiration with her research for a few years now.." Dianne softly said as she gave an apologetic smile to Vincent.

"It's fine.. I've also received a lot of help from your Master.."

"Thank you.." Dianne replied and as she was about to enter the Vermillion Hawk she immediately recalled something.

"I think I forgot to congratulate you on your recovery.. You look better with those eyes.."

"Thank you.. But is there a difference?"

"Of course.. Your eyes were previously dull compared to now. It's now full of life. You look so much better and also—Ah.. I mean, you're probably unable to notice it since you're not looking in a mirror.. Hehe."

"Oh.. That's true.." Vincent agreed since he couldn't remember when he had last seen his face in a mirror.

Thud.. Thud.. Thud..

Suddenly, the Mythical Beast that was resting in the lake started coming out as it headed towards Vincent and the others.

"Krusk.. activate the cloth that I've given you.. I have plenty of them so don't mind if they lose durability a lot faster than you expected."

"I got it.." Krusk replied as he triggered the piece of cloth tied on the tip of his tail.

Well, mythical beasts can use Magic Tools without any issues.

With this in mind, Vincent looked for an item that will provide stealth or any anti-tracking skills to Krusk.

Since he's a large mythical beast, he can easily attract others' attention and might cause some trouble while they are traveling.

The Night Spider Silk is the best item for this, so Vincent prepared a lot of them during the past few days for this event.

After everyone boarded the Vermillion Hawk, Vincent piloted it with Ayla who volunteered to be the co-pilot.. She was very interested in the flying vessel because she had realized that it was actually fully enhanced by Vincent.

This girl had truly become an Enhancement Enthusiast.. She would always take an interest in anything that was enhanced..

As they were peacefully traveling in the sky, Krusk suddenly warned Vincent..

'Vincent, I can feel the Overseer's presence around here.. Be careful.'
