Chapter 21 - The Reckoning.

With a horrifying look Zezo push away Selene and demanded "What do you think you are doing... are you out of your mind?"

"Is quite pitiful a mage of your stature not able to sense magic? if you were able to sense mana then you should have realised it sooner." Selene mocks

" Since you can't you aren't able to make out the difference- Zezo san for all this time do you think you have been fooling everyone... the fact that you are hiding as half-elf also."

Selene then let out an evil grin.

"The fact that you are an ex-member of Ruins, the leading guild in the entire nation!; have you heard of this story?;

"A year ago a young man showed up in Ardania and surprisingly got accepted in Ruins, the details weren't clear how it happened, but everyone was shocked. How could someone get inside the guild where even mages of S class caliber fail to get invited;

Eventually, The young man turned out to be performing excellently in the guild. He could complete an S class rank mission faster than most of his members but he prefers going solo;

He also has a friendly and charismatic aura that makes it easier for people to be friends with him."

Selene moves around the room as she continues her deliberation.

"Now, listen this is where things got interesting. the young man majority of the time will always face problems when identifying several opponents hiding;

Don't you find it weird? A man that got compared to a rank of S class but fails something as basic as that. As people started to raise suspicions, he left the guild."

Selene suddenly stops moving and tilts her face towards Zezo with an uncanny look.

"Then six months ago, the same young man showed up here in this abandoned land. I already did my research, Zezo. After observing all this time, I can confirm... you can't sense magic at all."

Zezo stood dumbfounded as the whole situation happened, shocked him to the core.

"You said earlier that you and Fanny took care of the matter...but where are the missing members?"

Selene slowly walks over to Zezo and stood face to face with him.

"Say Zezo-san...do you even really care about your guild members... you always act like goody shoes but when a situation arrives that suits you, you won't hesitate to throw everybody off...While you would selfishly climb over the height without looking back."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Just explain the situation, Selene" Zezo demanded trying his best to ignore Selene's taunting words.

"That's why I like you..."

Selene slowly extends her right hand and rubs Zezo's cheek with her sharp nails.

"Join me and you can get everything you wish for..." Selene said in a seductive tone,

Zezo suddenly raises his hand and throws Selene's skinny hand from his face.

"tell me one thing...are you the one that did this to Gin."

" oh my... are you feeling emotional now? Yeah, I'm the one who drained Gin's magic energy along with his lie force... he was growing complacent so I had to remove him." Selene replied in an apathetic tone.

"Gin trusted you. He will be at your side no matter what it is... But you killed him! didn't you Selene?

"Ara...but I don't feel attached nor feel even a single thing about the guild at all... To me, he was nothing more than a pebble."

"Shut up... you are really a rotten vixen Selene, don't you feel a single thing for what you have done?" Zezo screams

" Does it mean I got rejected?"

Selene rolls her eyes sideways and places her hand over her chin and acts emotionally.

"Then ... die for me Zezo-san~"

Selene jumps back and weaves her hand to cast a magic spell.

"Summon double-layered scarlet magic circle" Selene yelled. Then above her a huge scarlet rune magic appeared.

"Activate!" The magic circle starts to rotate as the bullet of scarlet magic starts shooting toward Zezo.

Zezo abandons his guild master body and runs to the side of the room to dodge the incoming attacks.

As he was about to reach the edge of the room another magic circle appeared before him and started firing but Zezo jumped immediately to the ceiling to avoid it...

"I won't give you a chance to attack Zezo san...I will let you dance in my magic for a while" Selene mockingly declared.

Damn her magic speed magic is really fast. I can't conjure any spells...at this rate...I have to use that"

As Zezo tried to counter her magic by pulling out a hidden technique of his own Selene immediately recognizes Zezo's intention and she didn't hesitate to activate her trump card first.

"Not so fast". By clicking her staff on the ground a huge green rune magic circle appears before her.

Suddenly Zezo fell to the ground and as he helplessly tried to get up his body will just lie on flat on the ground...he was already at the mercy of this weird magic he haven't experienced before.

"What...is this magic…I can't get up."

"Is..useless to resist you are under the effect of Extraction magic or also known as Aggamon's Extraction Ceremony spell...a very popular magic in my place."

Ahhh...my energy… they're slipping out from my body...

"Your life force will rapidly move out from your body under this spell. This is the same magic that I used on Gin...since Gin didn't have enough magic inside him he died in a matter of a few seconds...how shameful. I wanted to see him suffer a bit."

"Selene...you bitch...I will make you pay for this!" Zezo shouts to Selene, while desperately trying to get up from the ground.

"How exactly? You are already at my mercy...I took a whole night to prepare this, be grateful. This is your last chance Zezo join me... leave behind all these stupid guild things...and let's peruse the keys that will open to endless magic."

Zezo then immediately has a flashback and recalls the promise he made himself the day he abandoned his homeland.

"I…. I refuse..."

"sigh. Well, you are really disappointed till the end Zezo...I guess all men are idiots after all."

"Art of Invocation Style no. 5: Memento of Burning Fate"

Without hesitation, Selene conjures an invocation spell.

In front of her, a tome appears, the tome starts flipping violently and the pages were ripped out in the air, the pages combust violently in the air shaping themselves in a swirly fire. They swirly quickly coil themselves into three fire coils and launch in the direction of Zezo.

With a huge loud explosion, the meeting room starts crumbling and the door was blown off at the mere shockwave.

Everyone in the Arena shocked by the explosion stared in the direction of the smoke while the normal citizens started to panic.

" out of all invocation spells. style no. 5 is a powerful spell that is even forbidden to use in the tournament...when used on a defenseless mage no matter what class it is...it will completely eradicate one's existence."

Selene turns her back and conjures a magic circle.

"Where is this idiot...? How long will it take to dispose of a little girl?

Behind her out from the smoke a sword emerged out and went over her hair at a tremendous speed.

Due to the shock, Selene immediately disrupted the communication circle and quietly turned back.

From the smoke, a brilliant white robe-clad with shining silver dragon mettle at the shoulders and with a white hair rose out slowly from the smoke.

"Tch.." Selene clicked her tongue.

Zezo clenched his fist as she looked at Selene with a burning hatred.

"I won't forgive you…I will make you pay for your crime Selene...I will definitely make you regret what you did to the person who he trusted so much on you!"
