Kristin covered her mouth. "I often envy you wizards for being able to advance to the fifth level. But I never imagined that this fifth level would be so perilous, requiring such a heavy toll."
Her gaze suddenly became alert as she looked at Ivita and the Hearthstone Witch. "I've heard of mad witches creating plagues to annihilate cities, using Blood Magic to forcibly reveal the Door of Truth to the world."
"You wouldn't do that, would you?"
The Hearthstone Witch responded righteously, "The wolf is meant to eat the sheep. Whoever dares to obstruct this is going against the natural cycles of the world."
Kristin's look at her grew increasingly hostile.
Ivita interrupted them, saying, "Miss Kristin, rest assured, does this country still need to gather Blood Magic by killing people now?"
"I plan to gather Blood Magic during the sixth siege of Ambros City, to force the Door of Truth out."
