Maisel's idea worked wonders. And he now stood in the center of the circle, using the signet ring to activate the one-time teleportation circle which would lose its function after a single use. There was no need for one to operate manually or even the need to feed it mana, it would surely bring Maisel to the real ceremony venue. Though, that was the least of his worries.
The world changed around Maisel again, he looked at the beast and then at himself. The coming fight would be disastrous and he knows that very much. Adam was a powerful mage on his own, but there were countless individuals as well as a particular woman that caused Maisel to dread the situation even further.
Who she was and her power, he didn't know. All he understood was that her strength might exceed his and unless he used his full force, it would be virtually impossible for him to win the fight.
Meaning, there was only one option left.
