Charles followed Parker to the front door of the penthouse.
Staring at the closed door, Charles kicked it open.
"Boom!"
The door was sent flying. Parker rushed into the room first, and Charles followed suit. In the hallway entrance, Charles saw the trophies related to Drake placed on the floor.
Parker entered the study and stopped at the door. Charles, seeing this, walked over.
"This is where the scent disappeared."
Hearing Parker's words, Charles nodded. He then said, "You can go back now, Parker. I'll handle the rest."
Parker nodded, then directly returned to the summoning realm.
Now, Charles stood at the door of the study, looking inside. He saw a massive mirror lying on the floor in the study.
Observing the scene, Charles thought for a moment, understanding what had happened.
This was a combination of the quicksand carpet and the magical mirror prison – a clever idea that could trap Balthazar for so long.
Charles aimed his Dragon Ring at the mirror in front of him, then waved his hand, controlling the mirror to float in the air.
As the mirror flipped over, Charles brought Balthazar from inside to the mirror.
Balthazar, seeing Charles appear outside the mirror, sighed and said, "Just find another mirror, and I can come out."
Charles directly took out a full-body mirror from the storage space and placed it in front of the mirror inside. The two mirrors reflected each other.
This was the principle of the magic mirror prison. Everything in the mirror's world was the opposite. Only by finding another mirror inside could one escape through it.
Previously, the mirror faced the quicksand, and as there were no other mirrors inside, so there was no way out.
Now, the full-body mirror in Charles's hand shook, and Balthazar jumped out from inside.
After Balthazar came out, he bypassed the quicksand carpet, grabbed the map and the matryoshka on the table.
Only then did he say, "Maxim took away the matryoshka containing Morgana. We need to go immediately and stop his next move."
Charles put away the mirror, looking at the matryoshka in Balthazar's hand. Curious, Charles asked, "Was David locked inside?"
Balthazar nodded, somewhat helpless, and said, "I told him not to wander around, but he didn't listen."
Waving his magic, a burst of light flashed, and the matryoshka in Balthazar's hand opened. David also ran out from inside.
Released from captivity, David stood to the side, panting heavily.
"Teacher, senior brother, Maxim attacked me in the school bathroom..."
Balthazar directly interrupted, "There's no time now. Maxim is going to release Morgana and we need to go immediately."
After Balthazar's words, he walked downstairs. Charles patted David's back and reassured, "Don't worry, things will pass."
David nodded and followed Charles down.
Getting into Balthazar's vintage car, Charles frowned, "Using this might be too slow."
Balthazar extended his hand, placing it on the car roof. In the next moment, the vintage car transformed into a Ferrari sports car.
Seeing the transformation, Charles's eyes lit up. This move was great. He needed to learn it later, so he wouldn't have to buy any cars; he could just transform one himself.
Balthazar stepped on the gas pedal, and the car sped away.
...
Meanwhile, Maxim arrived at his desired location. He placed the matryoshka in the center of the magic circle. Then, he asked Drake, "Are the antennas on the rooftop arranged?"
"Already arranged, and there's no mistake," Drake replied.
Maxim nodded. He pointed his wand at the matryoshka, and after a surge of magical power, the outer layer of the matryoshka ignited.
A young female mage dressed as a nun emerged. She looked at Maxim and said, "Thank you for saving me, Arch Mage Horvath."
Maxim, looking at the member of Morgana and Drake, said, "Your tasks is to guard this place. Do not let anyone approach."
"Yes!"
Initially, Maxim planned to absorb their magic and resurrect Morgana himself. However, Charles's strength, unexpectedly, made him change his mind. Now, he had to let these two stall them for a while.
Maxim looked at the matryoshka in front of him. Pointing his wand at it, magical power flowed into it.
"Rise from death."
With the continuous influx of magical power, the next second-
"Boom!"
The lid of the matryoshka burst open, and a black liquid, like venom, sprayed out and gathered into a humanoid figure.
Looking at the woman who appeared in front of him, Maxim exclaimed, "Veronica!"
Veronica slowly opened her eyes and then spoke with an icy tone, "It's me, Horvath, Morgana."
"Don't look so disappointed."
At this moment, Morgana controlled Veronica's body, then pointed to the matryoshka on the ground, saying, "Smash it, Maxim. I don't want to see him anymore."
Maxim picked up the matryoshka from the ground, holding it in his hands.
"Before the energy ring gathers, I can't resurrect myself."
Hearing Morgana's words, Maxim nodded, indicating that he understood. He would do his best to guard this place.
Morgana did not hesitate. She began casting the resurrection spell.
"Spirits from all walks of life, answer the call, come quickly to meet me."
"The resurrection spell has boundless magic power; resurrection is at hand."
As Morgana released the magic, a red beam appeared from beneath her, rushing towards the satellite dish on a nearby building, forming a magical circuit in the sky.
Then, as Morgana continued to release magic, the second magical circuit appeared in the sky, beginning to build a magic array overhead.
At this moment, driving the car, Balthazar looked at the magical circuits appearing in the sky and said, " Morgana has come out. Charles, as the future Supreme Merlin, you must find a way to eliminate Morgana."
"Only the Supreme Merlin can defeat Morgana."
