A black-robed Magus, whose facial appearance they couldn't make out, entered the dungeon and instantly killed the dozen Rank 1 Magi guarding the cells.
The speed and ruthlessness with which this Magus had killed the rest had thoroughly shocked them.

As they saw this Magus wearing a black pointy hat appear before them, a mixture of hope and astonishment rippled through the hearts of these women.
However, there was still fear lingering in their eyes.
"It's time," they heard the Magus softly mutter.
