Magic City
I was waiting for the members to come. They were already five minutes late. But I had trust in the crimson scroll artifact.
It didn't take long for me to see the silhouettes of Otto and the others. But their facial expressions showed they were tired.
"System, what happened?" I asked the system in my mind.
[Ding! The crimson chains binding their mana cores were active for some time.]
Hearing that, my mouth curved into an arc. They must have thought I was too friendly. But they forgot about the crimson chains wrapping their mana cores.
They stopped before me.
"Master, we apologize. We were a few minutes late," Otto said to me.
Then the others started apologizing one by one. Their faces showed discomfort. They must have been hurt by the crimson chains. The members were avoiding eye contact.
They realized that the person in front of them was not only their young master, but a terrifying wizard as well.
