"Was that... Explosive Talisman really that powerful?"
Looking at the room blasted into rubble, Magician felt dazed. He had intended to use the Explosive Talisman as cover, weakening the notebook's power to create an opening for his next move.
But... he had never expected to send the Antigonus Family Notebook flying outright.
"A miscalculation..."
As he remembered it, an Explosive Talisman shouldn't have been this powerful.
No, this wasn't the time to think about that.
The notebook still hadn't truly been dealt with!
With no time to dwell on it, Magician raced in the direction the notebook had flown.
The situation had changed so quickly that the surrounding Mandated Punishers failed to react for a moment.
Lanevus, previously the greatest threat, had been knocked flat by a notebook in a spectacularly dramatic fashion. None of them had expected this turn of events.

He had never expected Church personnel to be inside the Circus.
For a moment, the atmosphere grew awkward.
"Who are you?" The captain of the Mandated Punishers broke the silence, his expression hostile.
Through his Spirit Vision, Magician's spirituality looked extremely conspicuous. The man was definitely a Beyonder-and a suspicious one at that.
Magician didn't answer. He merely stared coldly at the captain.
He wasn't in
