he writes the name 'Vena starlight' on a clay tablet, with his mana. clay tablet starts absorbing the surrounding mana after a few seconds black orb shot toward the sky.

Pov; Vena
'I can see him, ohh his going inside the public toilet so he can kill that marquise, what devious little bastard we have. haha~' I need to be quick when he runs,
this artefact needs to be used after twenty minutes he uses the record of Yama. this fuking artefact is too complicated, why did those dragon ideots not make something simpler.' Vena thought looking at the black cube in her hand.
'that fool where is he running?' she said to herself after she saw Max hiding in a crowd and running out of the city.
'you can't run for me haha~' Vena said inside her mind, she used the concealment artefact again, which was deactivated until now so she can save its mana.
she started to run after him. Max stopped at the river bank outside of Starfall City.
'what is he doing, who is he wants to kill this time?' vena thought.
She saw Max writing something on record of Yama with his mana before she does anything black orb descended from the sky and entered her abdomen, where her mana core was located.
her mana start corrupting and after a few seconds her whole body become colourless and her heart stopped beating, she fall to the ground, and her eyes start closing, and after another second, all mana inside her body corrupted. She was dead?!!!
Dark Woods
Victor was reading a book that he had taken from the royal dragon library, suddenly he felt intense pain in his heart like part of his soul was forcefully removed. means that the one who made him a vampire using soul binding is now dead! Vena is dead?
he rushed towards the location where he last felled her presence, outside of Starfall City.
Capital Of Ainsworth Duchy, Ravenna City
nux was playing with Deus inside his lone, he suddenly saw a vision ' Man with silver purple hair will kill most living being with his rad sword, but this will not affect me or my family, still that fool with a hero complex' Sigh, nux let out cold air from his mouth, he was too annoyed by certain someone.
he opened the portal in front of him and entered it with Duse.
when he come out of the portal he saw Vena whose mana was corrupted and her heart was already stopped beating.
nux raised his hand and Vena's body was surrounded by a violet spherical barrier, it first stopped her soul from living her body and then nux used his violet energy reverse time.
when he reached a time where the black orb had only entered her body he stopped time and surrounded the black orb with violet-coloured energy and destroyed it.
After a few seconds, vena opened her eyes first thing she saw was violet eyes looking at her, those eyes were the same coloured as a phenomenon that happened a few days ago.
"Who are you? why you saved me?" asked Vena to nux who was playing with Duse's silver fur,
"I can't answer your first, and I only save you because I want to spend my time with my family," said nux looking in the direction of Ainsworth Duchy and then west where someone come out from the portal a few moments ago.
Pov: victor
'when I felt that Vena was dead, I opened a portal but before I enter the portal instance paint on my chest vanished, but I still entered the portal
"Who are you? why you saved me?" asked Vena to the boy in front of her.
'Who is he? I can't see his mana nor his level, fuck his pet is guardian level and the peak of that!!, so he must be too strong!!' but why he helped Vena?' Victor thought.
"I can't answer your first question and I only save you because I want to spend my time with my family," said the boy who saved Vena.
'his ignoring me, even he can sense my presence. whatever I'm going there' Victor thought and he starts walking toward Nux and Vena.
"vena are you all right, who attacked you," I asked Vena who still doesn't know that I'm standing beside her.
"Vic, yes I'm all right yo don't have to worry about me," said Vena she was still confused about my sudden arrival
'oh that crest is Duke Ainsworth's crest but why does someone like him need a crest of a human duke? what is going on? victor thought.
"Are you from the Ainsworth family?" Victor asked
"nux von Ainsworth, and don't tell anyone about me," said nux, he didn't say anything further.
'isn't nux Ainsworth where weakest among his family, but he used time magic to reverse mana corruption that suppose to be inconsevebal even for core Gardiyan' Victory thought
"yep, our lips are sealed," said Vena with play full voice, she tried to pet Deus but he ran away from her like some dense protagonist of Isekai novel.
nux opened a portal and entered with Duse.
"so what now, he tried to kill me," asked Vena her eyes burning with red mana.
"Isn't it simple, blood for blood" said Victor looking in the direction where Max was running.
Max was able to complete his mission but he will regret his choices for the rest of his life.

'monsters are behaving strangely after we killed that inferno beast. maybe there's another evolved beast in forest' thought Luke who was inside forest and found reason for the monster's stranger behaviour,
"yes he's on the second mission, to eliminate rank 2 "
Luke here a familiar voice but before he can do anything he saw a dagger moving in the direction of his heart, and he died.
