It's over! Everything is over!

At this moment, Augustus Kante's heart was filled with utter dejection.
His hands were placed in front of him, bound by two triangular illusory shackles. As a result, his Path strength was also sealed.
In fact, Augustus himself had not engaged in violent resistance at all throughout the ordeal.
Or rather, as soon as the cargo ship had just arrived at the port and a dozen of fully armed inspectors on gryphons suddenly charged over, his mind had already crashed.
And just at that time, when Augustus saw those who had been jesting with him on board entering a state of combat as if they had a pre-arranged plan... his mind completely went blank.
The barrier was erected in an instant, and a mix of large rituals prepared for an imminent encounter altered the atmosphere with their spell arrays.
