The Mysterious Black Magician

The second sphere of the Galaxial Bomb hit the adult mammoth with a loud explosion.

Yman\'s mouth extended into a smile when he saw the health points on the enemy\'s life bar reached zero percent. It was a smile of satisfaction for his new spell. 

The Galaxial Bomb spell was a damage-type spell that caused an explosion to the target upon impact. It shot to the enemy while leaving a trail that looked like a sunray, however, the focal point of attack was the sphere itself.

Beside him, the three people were wearing a face of disbelief. They were surprised that the boosted monster died instantly. They even had difficulty defeating one of the Young Mammoth. And yet, he killed the stronger Adult Mammoth in just a blast of his spell.

Besides, what kind of spell is that? It looks beautiful? The three thought while awe-inspiring at the Galaxial Bomb\'s pattern.

.

He disregarded the dumbfounded faces around him and sped up the enhanced fire doll bird. They continued to fly away from the mountain. He could not waste another time as he had a bad feeling about the current situation.

However, before they could manage to escape from it, another monster appeared, and this time there were two of them.

Two Adult Mammoth were coming to them from the front.

Yman squinted his eyes as he was peering at the front. Not only that, but his perception also noticed another two presence from behind. They were chasing after them at a speed that could not be coped with ordinary eyes.

He lifted his hand above. Then the remaining Galaxian sphere also went higher like a drone being controlled by the person in control. It hovered above, about two meters from his head.

Achan and the others were looking at it in a trance. Both of them were curious about this spell of Crimson.

From the front and back, four monsters in total were currently chasing to hunt them. Without letting them get near, the four spheres of The Galaxian Bomb shot simultaneously at each enemy.

Boom!!

A loud explosion happened in the air and it was followed by grieving cries.

One of the monsters from behind was hit and the other one was able to avoid

The same thing happened to the monsters in front.

The monsters that were able to survive, after a little pause, proceeded to attack; however,  before they flapped their wings once again, they were greeted by other spheres.

Boom! Boom!

Another explosion erupted in the air. The Adult Mammoth although fast, they were hit by surprise.

Yman chuckled inwardly, seemingly fascinated at the spell. It was a good spell to fool the enemy. The first shot was to lower their guard and the second was to hit them by surprise. If the second failed to hit, there were third, fourth, fifth, and etcetera that would follow.

Such a skill was truly fascinating. The charred bodies of the Adult Mammoths fell below after the explosion. Black fumes were visible from their bodies as they were falling.

"Mr. Crimson, what spell is that sir?" Achan, who was behind him, asked in curiosity. It was the first time for her to see such a spell.

"Galaxial Bomb," he replied in a voice that could only be described as \'calm\'. Not even a tinge of worry was noticeable from it. In fact, he sounded like he was enjoying it. Probably, he was happy with his spell.

Achan gawked at the thought. She started to wonder what kind of person Crimson was. He seemed to be calm.  She also asked herself if it would be fine that she told him the truth about the current situation. 

Yman noticed the grip on his waist had become stronger, though he didn\'t bother by it. He guessed that she did it subconsciously. Perhaps she was worried about the situation and for the future of their department.

He decided to focus on piloting the bird.

Although he didn\'t show it, in truth, he was bothered by the situation in the mountain. After all, the resources in the mountain were very important to him.

Somewhere around the mountain, a creature was peeking under the shrubs. It had the eyes of a predator.

It was looking above towards the two birds flying below the clouds while speeding up towards the east.

From inside the lab, Cinde was transferring liquid of newly mixed herbs. It was the 7th attempt she made. She already failed 6 times. So this 7th attempt was very crucial for her.

It was the reason her focus was too deep. At the moment, she was at the final stage, transferring the finished product to the glass. The glass was as big as the index finger of her; even the shape was the same.

It was easy for her now to grind and mix the herbs. However, the next part was too difficult, using the alchemy spell to harmonize the ingredients and slowly turned them into a real elixir.

The higher rate of control to the spell, the better the result would come out.

She was wondering how Crimson could easily control his Alchemy spell like he already knew it long ago. What an unfair world. She thought.

But actually, she was only whining that she wasn\'t able to come with him to the mountain.

Cinde pursed her lips as she was deliberately transferring the liquid to the test tube.

A very crucial moment for her.

(However,)

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The room shook by together with the flapping sounds.

Suddenly, the glass she was holding fell and the liquid fell on the table. The table then clattered noisily. 

Seeing her hard work had gone to waste, her brows curled upward as she rushed outside in a bad mood.

Her eyes turned devilish and veins in a cross-shape appeared on her face.

The cause of his predicament was of course the weird noise that was coming from outside!

She grumbled. "The heck, we are busy here, you know!"

She angrily opened the beat-up door. It was still the same door that Czar had beaten up when he came into the Little Garden together with his men to recruit Cinde. They reattached it using some old wooden woods to cover the holes and slightly remodeled it into a cruder looking door.

Even Airi was wondering what the sound was that caused the room to shake.

They even heard the professor saying: "Hey, you guys! What are you doing lass?!" He shouted in an annoyed tone. Probably, he was doing something important too in his room, where he usually did his important research and experiments.

Airi chuckled soundlessly as she watched Cinde left the room with an annoyed face.

"Who the hell are you—!"

She shouted upon stepping outside. But soon stopped her words and turned into a happy smile. Because the person she saw was the person she was longing to see. 

However, she frowned when she noticed another person hugging him from the back while the two were riding on his summon creature!

"What the hell, Crimson! You are tasked to gather magical herbs, not to gather beautiful girls!" 

Yman gawked from Cinde\'s greetings. He glanced at her and saw her knitting her brows and was looking at him with suspicion. Her hands were on her hips as she bellowed at him. She looked like a wife who caught her husband in the act of doing something from her back.

(Regardless,)

What the heck is gathering beautiful girls? When did he become that popular? He thought inwardly.

He was the guy with a pitiful Charisma. Though it was increasing little by little from the past few days.

(On the other hand,)

Achan was taken aback at the piercing gaze shot to her from the beautiful wolf girl.

Yman scratched his face and wondered what Cindy\'s problem was. He lifted his hand, in the next second, a handkerchief materialized in his hand. 

Cindy was surprised when Crimson used it to wipe the sweat on her face. She was stunned. Then slowly turned red until a fume gushed out from her head. And also, her heart was going crazy!

Not only Cinde was stunned by Crimson\'s action, even the people with him at the moment were stunned also. 

Crimson had a girlfriend already! They thought.

He stopped only when he noticed their weird reactions. Well, he did wipe his sister whenever she was sweating.

But he put aside the issue and directly asked her if the professor was inside in which Cinde answered by questioning him if \'who were the people with him\'.

He answered briefly by saying that he just met them in the mountain and that he had important things he needed to discuss with the professor.

From Crimson\'s tone, it seemed like something had happened.

She then told him that Prof. Ronnie was in his workroom.

A sigh of relief escaped from his mouth.

"That\'s good, thanks," he said to her and directly went inside.

Airi was surprised to see Crimson together with some people that she assumed she recognized.
