"What do you mean?" Zayn asked.
"You are not the candidate for my killing machine, Zayn. You are just the lever, and now, I will activate it."
He slammed his right palm to the ground, where a large magic circle suddenly appeared beneath Zayn in a bright red color while both he and leader Argen grinned widely.
"Thank you for voluntarily surrendering yourself; we didn't have to go to the trouble of looking for you. This is what you get for always trying to be a hypocrite. Someone who has killed so many, playing the role of a hero. Truly shameful," continued leader Nicholas, slowly standing up with the help of leader Argen. "But don't worry, after this, you won't have to think about your soft heart anymore because we'll turn it into mush."
Zayn tried to use magic, but nothing came out. He couldn't even feel it, as if he had become a regular human, just like Ailord.
