Standing in this pitch-black realm, the bodyguards' faces instantly turned deathly pale, their eyes revealing an undisguised, deep fear. It was as if some unseen, intangible yet undeniably real force was exerting an indescribable pressure on them.
Their bodies began to tremble slightly involuntarily, their hearts pounded violently as if they were about to burst out of their chests, and their breathing became increasingly rapid.
Faced with such terrifying Eternal Night magic, the bodyguards were as if their souls had been ripped out, completely losing control of their own movements. They could only watch helplessly as fear slowly eroded and devoured their fragile inner world.
In this eerie darkness, strange lights flickered intermittently, as if countless pairs of malicious and resentful eyes were silently watching them.
Even more terrifying, intermittent, eerie, low murmurs reached the bodyguards' ears. The eerie and chilling tone was exactly like a death knell emanating from the depths of hell, scaring them out of their wits and filling them with dread!
In this suffocating atmosphere of despair, the bodyguards were terrified and tried their best to escape this terrible place. However, they suddenly realized that their legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and every step required all their strength. It was as if a mysterious and powerful force was tightly wrapped around their bodies, making it difficult for them to break free.
No matter how much they struggled, the bodyguards couldn't break free from this eerie bondage. Trapped in place, they watched helplessly as the surrounding darkness deepened, fear ever-present. At this moment, they had no choice but to stand silently in this endless, terrifying night, anxiously awaiting their unknown doom. Time ticked by, the oppressive atmosphere grew increasingly intense, and the bodyguards' unease intensified with each passing second...
"Alright, Sister Maya, that should be about right." Baifeng Uesugi didn't personally activate the magic, so he naturally couldn't see what was happening in the Eternal Night. However, just from the facial expressions of those bodyguards, he could already tell that this pair of people had probably reached their limit.
"Mmm," Maya Yotsuba responded softly. Then, with a thought, she ended the " Eternal Night " spell.
The moment the magic was broken, the bodyguards who had been struggling to hold on collapsed to the ground with a huge sigh of relief. Deep fear still lingered in their eyes for a long time.
"Take them away and let them rest properly. Also, double their bonuses, "Maya Yotsuba said with a joyful expression.
As Maya Yotsuba finished speaking, another team of well-trained bodyguards quickly appeared. They swiftly helped the exhausted bodyguards up and led them away from the scene.
When the newly arrived pair of bodyguards took away the previous bodyguards, the fear in their eyes was undisguised, but Maya Yotsuba didn't seem to care.
Recalling when she first unleashed " Eternal Night," she didn't intentionally manipulate the power. Instead, she allowed " Eternal Night " to freely generate the scenarios that the bodyguards feared most in their minds. Then, she selected one or two individuals from among them and attempted to control their behavior through " Eternal Night."
When she successfully controlled the behavior and mind of the bodyguards under the influence of " Eternal Night " for a short period of time, she couldn't help but feel a surge of astonishment. Then, she continued to use " Eternal Night " to create some events that she desired. Although this also caused some damage to the bodyguards' minds, it was still slightly less powerful than the terrifying scene created by " Eternal Night " that exposed the bodyguards' deepest fears.
" Bai Feng, this ' Eternal Night ' is truly amazing! It can actually use illusions to manipulate people's behavior," Maya Yotsuba exclaimed in amazement.
Baifeng Uesugi smiled and replied, "I'm glad you like it. However, it should be noted that when ' Eternal Night ' encounters magicians with extremely powerful mental strength, its influence may be relatively weaker."
Maya Yotsuba understood this, as she was well aware of the characteristics and limitations of illusions. "I understand that; after all, illusions are like that—they always have some flaws. But if we can exhaust the target's mind before casting ' Eternal Night,' wouldn't ' Eternal Night ' become an invincible force?" Clearly, Maya Yotsuba had a deep understanding of illusions and was well aware of their shortcomings and countermeasures.
Baifeng Uesugi nodded in agreement and smiled, saying, "Yes, that's true." He acknowledged Bai Feng's insight.
Hearing Baifeng Uesugi's charismatic voice, Maya Yotsuba felt her heart race. She tilted her head slightly, looking at the handsome and charming man before her, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection.
" Sister Maya- nee, I'll entrust ' Eternal Night Night' to you directly. As for ' Absolute Defense,' could you please pass it on to Mayumi for me?"
Baifeng Uesugi said softly, gently stroking Maya Yotsuba's silky smooth hair.
He doesn't plan to return to the academy yet, as he needs to research the Innate Magic for Shizuku Kitayama. Once he has researched Shizuku Kitayama's Innate Magic, he can return to the school to see them.
Maya Yotsuba felt the warmth emanating from Baifeng Uesugi's fingers, a sweet feeling welling up inside her. She blushed and nodded softly, saying, "Yes, don't worry, leave this to me."
Baifeng Uesugi smiled with satisfaction, then carefully handed the Absolute Defense " to Maya Yotsuba. He held Maya Yotsuba's slender waist tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his embrace.
