Once I Deal with the Culprit

Whoosh!

With a faint tearing sound, Riezel teleported back to Franzer Villa with Liz and Eulalie.

Luna had not been brought along.

She was still asleep, so Riezel simply placed her in Liz's bedchamber with Evie and Leo.

When the group returned to Franzer Villa, it had, unsurprisingly, become a battlefield as well.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ...

Mages with pitch-black eyes roared like madmen as they fired Transformation System magic in every direction throughout Franzer Villa. Flames, ice, lightning, storms, and all sorts of phenomena erupted in rapid succession, blasting apart every corner of the estate.

The knights were fighting too. Some belonged to the Franzer Family's Knight Order, while others were unidentified knights with black eyes, fighting like berserkers.

The once orderly Franzer Villa had become utterly chaotic. Even the magical defense system protecting the estate seemed to have been breached, leaving the Franzer Knight Order struggling desperately.

Riezel even spotted several Black Shadows darting about like phantoms, slipping into the villa one after another as though they had another objective.

Seeing this, Riezel's expression turned cold.

Sacred Rite: Aurora.

Meteor-like streaks of light appeared behind Riezel, then shot out under his control toward the black-eyed knights.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...!

A series of explosions immediately followed, forcefully intervening in the battle.

Riezel controlled the tracking magic, causing the auroras to arc through the air, turn corners, and even shoot high into the sky before plunging down. Without exception, they struck the black-eyed knights.

The black-eyed knights screamed as they were blasted away without any warning.

The Franzer Family's knights froze at the sight, while the Black-Eyed Knights who had not yet been targeted by Riezel's magic flew into a rage.

They abandoned their opponents and charged toward Riezel.

"Liz, Ellie."
