After Sky pricked his finger with that special pocket knife that will stop his self-recovery, he started drawing a big and complicated magic circle with his blood. After he had drawn the circle, he focused his magic on it and activated the magic circle...

At this moment, everyone in Null Dimension is still having their normal life. Working, learning, eating, playing, sleeping, and more, none of them will ever know that within ten seconds, ninety-nine percent of the people on Null Dimension will fall into a deep slumber for more than two weeks (Kapis time) without even realizing it...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kapis Dimension.
"Are you serious about that? He really did that? Haha! He is surely getting crazier and crazier... But is the situation over there really that bad?... What? A physical dimensional block? Damn! That Terrence! He should have told me earlier! What is Terrence doing right now? Oh... That's great. It's good to know that he is able to temporarily put down his grudge toward Sky in this dire situation. But make sure he didn't get too close to Ai, okay? That guy can be very ruthless sometimes... Oh! Me? After I'm done crafting weapons for Junior, I will be heading to that lost kingdom to find out more about that pair of daggers... That's all? Alright! Be sure to stay in contact with me regularly. Bye."
After Chris cut off the call from Maria, he looked at Ben with a slightly troubled look.
"You heard the whole conversation between Maria and me, having any thoughts?" Chris asked.
"Well... It certainly does sound really bad, but I believe Sky and Maria will be able to keep everything under control. However, there is something I am concerned about... You told me that you trusted Rei, well, me too. But if it's not Rei... There is only one possibility left." said Ben, slightly anxious.
"Yeah... That physical dimensional block is not just a simple magic everyone can activate, even Michael would not be able to activate it by himself without a specific 'activator magic'. If it's not Rei the one that assisted him, it must be that other person." said Chris.
"Tsk... Damn it." said Ben.
"Mmm... You are right. Damn it indeed." said Chris.
"Anyway, here's the map I got from Dominic, you might want to have a good look at it before we started our journey to that lost kingdom." said Ben as he passed the map to Chris.
Chris nodded and took the map from Ben.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Null Dimension. Sky's house. Living room.
Sky is reading some really old books he borrowed from the dimensional library. Maria is doing some cleaning and tidying up since the house has been unoccupied for quite a few days, while Ai is playing with a fluffy pink bunny, yup, Pinky, she brought Pinky with her.
"Aww... Darling! Please get a rest! You had just done two huge ranged and complicated magics in a row! And Ai-chan, make sure you don't remove that sachet from Pinky, if not it will be a big mess." said Maria, like a mother who is nagging to her husband and daughter.
"Even though we are now having about two weeks left but I'm not planning to drag things to the deadline, if possible I would like to get everything under control within three days." said Sky as he flipped through the books.
Then, he suddenly stopped at a page and started reading. As he read the contents on that page more and more, he frowned and looks troubled.
"Hmm? Darling, what's wrong?" Maria asked as he stopped his cleaning after seeing Sky's troubled look.
"Have a look at this paragraph here." said Sky as he passed the book to Maria.
Maria took the book from Sky and started reading the mentioned paragraph, despite not understanding most parts of it but he is equally troubled by a particular sentence.
"Heeehhhh? It says that this physical magic block needs at least two people to activate it, one main applier and one activator. The most effective way to destroy this magic block is to eliminate the activator... Ah... Although I don't understand most of the context in that paragraph but... That activator... It can't be Rei-chan, right?" said Maria, rather shocked and once again refusing to believe it has anything to do with the Queen.
Sky shook his head.
"I don't know... Somehow I started to feel that it's not necessarily Rei the one who did it, it has a high possibility that someone else did it. However, that is not anything good as well." said Sky, rather thoughtful.
"What? But why? If it's someone else who did it, then, Rei-chan is innocent." said Maria, rather blunt.
"Hah... I believe you do realize how complicated the structure of this magic is, right? According to the record here, the person that acts as the activator has to be a female that is quite powerful and born with a very unique type of magic flow. Since this type of magic flow is very rare, right now we only know two individuals that passed all the requirements of the activator and we know both of them well enough. If it's not Rei, there is only one person left." said Sky as he frowned.
"A very powerful female aside from Rei-chan and has a similar magic flow as Rei-chan... Hah... (!)... Gracie-chan?" said Maria, slightly astonished.
"Yes... Grace. Although Rei and Grace haven't been interacting with each other very much nowadays, but they had been very close friends back then in the Kingdom before Rei became the Queen. To be honest, Ben has secretly mentioned to me that Chris feels that it might be someone close to Rei that is in charge of all the mess recently. So... I have been suspecting about her..." said Sky, rather troubled.
"Ah... I don't like how this is going..." said Maria.
"Me too..." said Sky...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might cause the writer to stop writing."
