A middle-aged man with a smooth grey robe and meticulously combed hair walked out of the mage tower. That mage curbed all his mana fluctuations, but the few mana fluctuations that occasionally leaked out made everyone feel apprehensive. Moreover, the Extraordinary Power contained within his body made everyone feel as if they couldn't resist it.
As this mage appeared, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Even Albert, who had been busy with his own matters from the start, ceased his actions and raised his head to look at the mage at the entrance of the mage tower.
