Jack enjoyed the Masquerade until:
[Ding! Master of Foxes Activating!]
[Your Foxes are Facing Critical Danger!]
The scene before his eyes changed. For half an instant, he could see a sea of tentacles, a defeated water mage, and despairing foxes facing their doom. This was BAD!
As he returned to his senses, it all felt like a lie, the Masquerade still as peaceful and joyous as ever. How could the bigshots here not sense an attack of such a large scale?
"Kid, what happened? Your entire body's shaking!" The Old Ghost instantly noticed, only to cry out when Jack shared his experience: "T-this… is has to be a Space-Sealing Relic!"
"What's that?"
"It creates a death trap that no one from the outside world can detect or influence. Heck, even if the Flame Lord personally dealt with it, she wouldn't be in time to save your foxes!"
"You're saying…?!"
