Chapter 150
The dirt ground where Jenas stood surged upward massively into the sky. This was definitely magic.
“Archbishop Luzef! Archbishop Luzef is…!”
I looked around in alarm for Archbishop Luzef, but fortunately Yuanna Lucy and Anata had already picked him up from where he lay on the ground.
“Margaret!”
Kaiden used magic. I hadn’t even shared my mana with him separately.
I watched as yellow sparks crackled like lightning from Enoch Aster Klaus Langrid’s sword, my eyes widening in surprise.
‘Ah. His sealed mana has finally been released.’
Only then did I understand what Jenas had said moments before. Why he appeared in his adult form.
“Did you just realize? The sealed mana has been unlocked. The structure of this Island is all organically connected. Since the Magical Beast Mother Body was born within the Island, it became one of the components that make up the Island anyway.”
Jenas continued his explanation in an excited voice, as if telling an amusing story.
“Since one of those interconnected structural elements disappeared, the rules of the Island that my sister and I worked so hard to create have developed cracks. How about it? Isn’t it entertaining?”
‘What…?’
Could that be why he told me to deal with the Magical Beast Mother Body?
So I’ve been in the palm of Jenas’s hand all this time.
I had suspected he had some ulterior motive from the moment he told me how to kill the Magical Beast Mother Body. But I never thought it would actually be true.
Right. It was always a conversation between test subject and experimenter. We, as the absolute test subjects, were at a disadvantage.
While I was thinking such thoughts, Jenas suddenly leaped high into the sky again.
A magic circle appeared a step too late where we had been standing, and as it activated, the dirt ground erupted upward in an explosion.
Boom!
“Put Margaret down.”
Kaiden’s silver hair fluttered in the fierce wind as he approached from a distance. And seeing Kaiden like that, Jenas spoke to him with an amused expression.
“If you do it that way, Margaret will get hurt. Regardless of her condition, you’ll be satisfied as long as I return Margaret, right?”
Only then did Kaiden’s gaze, directed at me, waver sharply.
Seeing that, Jenas burst into laughter. In that moment, I struggled to get down from his embrace.
He looked down at me and sighed. At the same time, something like pure white rope materialized and bound my body tightly. Damn it!
Jenas, observing me as if I were a fascinating creature, asked me a question.
“I wanted to have a conversation with you in my true form, but circumstances don’t allow it. Shall we slip away somewhere private?”
That sounded like some outdated senior making a crude pass at a junior at a university retreat. What nonsense.
I tried to attack him using mana the way I had learned from Prince of Asdal, but it was useless. Right, there’s no way I could be a match for him.
I didn’t survive all this time just to see such an anticlimactic ending.
Jenas created a magic circle beneath his feet. It emanated such tremendous power that no one seemed able to pass through it.
Those standing in the distance seemed to be calling out to me desperately, but there was nothing I could do.
‘Wait, was there ever anything I could actually do in the first place?’
Now that a Great Mage like Jenas had regained his mana, it would be difficult for others to rescue me.
But since I had successfully rescued Anata, they would surely be able to find a way to escape.
‘I’ve already made my peace with it. It doesn’t have to be me who escapes the Island.’
And so I was kidnapped by Jenas along with Eun-ji.

Langrid Empire, Duke Flone’s Mansion.
Rosemary, the youngest of House Flone, had been bustling about since morning.
Someone who seemed to know something about the disappearance of her beloved second sister, Margaret Rose Flone, was visiting the mansion early in the morning.
Rosemary dressed in a guest-receiving gown and glanced at Baila, who had been Margaret’s dedicated maid until last year.
“Baila, you said this person is from the Vilterheim Family?”
Baila nodded calmly in response to Rosemary’s question.
“Yes, they should arrive shortly. Innis is waiting—shall we head there now?”
My older sister was always so diligent.
Rosemary nodded vigorously, opened the door, and stepped out. Then she moved with hurried, rapid steps.
If it looked like I was running, Innis would certainly scold me, so running was out of the question.
I was moving hastily with such thoughts when it happened.
Flash! Boom crash!
Rosemary stopped abruptly in the middle of the corridor and peered out the window.
Dozens of jagged bolts of lightning struck fiercely from the sky, almost as if divine punishment were descending. I had never seen anything like it before.
In a world already turbulent, even the heavens now seemed ominous.
“That doesn’t seem like ordinary thunder and lightning.”
Baila answered quietly to Rosemary’s murmur.
“After the disappearance of the Seven, a global war broke out… The world is in chaos. I’m beginning to wonder if the entire continent is truly heading toward destruction.”
The disappearance of the Seven.
Prince of Asdal from the Hestia Kingdom, Crown Prince Enoch from the Langrid Empire—the disappearance of heirs to lead two powerful nations had thrown the world into great turmoil.
Moreover, the Saint who appeared for the first time in a hundred years and key figures such as the Magic Tower Master of the Langrid Empire all vanished on the same day and hour. Political crime was the prevailing theory, but there was no evidence.
The absence of such powerful heirs caused shifts in political forces, and conflicts arising from the movements of the Temple and Magic Tower continued, eventually leading to continental war.
War typically requires long preparation periods and must go through various diplomatic procedures such as ultimatums, yet all nations skipped even those processes as if they had been waiting and launched fierce battles.
It was a war started by hyenas eyeing the vacant seat, determined to carve out their own place.
Until the missing ones returned, or their remains were found, or the truth of the incident was properly revealed, there seemed to be no end to this chaotic times.
Boom! Crash crash boom!
At the loud thunder that erupted once more, Rosemary flinched and drew her neck in.
“Look there. This world might truly be heading toward destruction.”
Rosemary pointed out the window. Suddenly, the shape of the clouds in the sky seemed strange—as if cracks were forming in the world itself.
Was a dimensional gate opening? After entertaining such an absurd thought, Rosemary bit her lower lip hard.
The end times. Perhaps this world truly was heading down the path of destruction.
“I don’t care if the world ends—I just want to see Margaret’s face one more time.”
Because they shared similar temperaments and neither would yield, Margaret and Rosemary fought constantly.
But such quarrels were only possible because there was an assumption that Margaret would always be by my side. If I had known she would disappear from my life without warning like this, I would have gotten along better with her.
Rosemary’s throat tightened, and she pressed her lips firmly shut, swallowing her tears. After a long moment, she spoke to Baila with a face of firm resolve.
“Let’s go. Innis must be waiting.”
I will find my second sister. I absolutely will.

“Damn it, what are you?”
Kaiden quickly activated the Magic Circle, but the manifestation failed. The magic unraveled immediately.
The earring burned so intensely it was unbearable. The surging Mana was disrupted by the strange wavelength emanating from the earring.
Swept up by the force that ravaged his insides, Kaiden coughed up blood violently.
Cough, cough.
Kaiden collapsed onto the ground, spitting out a clot of blood, then drew a deep breath.
Before him, a pair of pristine white shoes—those of an adult man—stood imposingly.
“You’ve endured much hardship.”
Though the voice sounded almost encouraging toward the fallen man, it carried an unmistakable air of weariness.
Kaiden fought desperately to maintain his consciousness. He could not allow himself to lose his mind so pathetically.
With bloodshot eyes and clenched teeth, he lifted his head. He thought it would be better to tear off his entire ear than to remove the Earring, but even that was impossible.
Yet even that proved futile—the Mana repelled his hand before he could act.
“What kind of dirty trick did you pull on me?”
“Hmm. You withstood that power? More impressive than I expected. Our descendant, you’ve grown quite splendidly.”
Jenas’s admiration left Kaiden without even the strength to curse back.
Kaiden finally collapsed to the ground.
As if he had been waiting for this moment, Jenas pressed Kaiden’s shoulder down with his foot, pinning him to the floor, and laughed with an arrogant expression.
“To create a body that could survive for a thousand years without eating and never age with time, I even resorted to dark Magic. The price was that my body became too frail to contain greater Mana than I currently possess. That’s why I needed a body like yours—young and burning with hot blood.”
Jenas methodically examined Kaiden’s body from head to toe, as if appraising merchandise.
“Among the bloodline of the Rohade Family, no child has ever matched my Compatibility as perfectly as you. The quantity of Magic Power, the ability to digest it, a sturdy physique. Could there be a more perfect body for my use?”
Jenas seized Kaiden by the collar and lifted him. He slowly lowered his head toward Kaiden.
Complex Magic Formulas began to flow through Jenas’s Red Eyes as he stared directly at Kaiden.
‘Damn! Damn!’
Kaiden felt his entire body becoming paralyzed by Jenas’s gaze.
He resisted with all his might to avoid being dominated, but he had no means to overcome one who had laid this Trap for so many ages in preparation for this very moment.
