Sabrina!

Sabrina Thorneheart, the only daughter of the Thorneheart household and Arthurs little sister.

Born seven years ago, she was tested to not only have an impossibly high mana affinity in rare life and ice magic but she was rumored to have the potential to be the ninth circle mage

In comparison, he who awakened aura in a mage family could be said to be nothing but a stain, thankfully neither of his parents seemed to care about it as they both equally treated them with love

Thinking back to yesterday when Sabrina laughed cheerfully as she ran behind him in the training ground, Arthur couldn't believe that someone would kidnap his cute little sister no less

"Could it be that someone decided to take advantage of my parent's leave for the border to attack?"

"If so, who could it be?"

Considering the fact that the Thorneheart family was an aristocratic family, it was no surprise that they had a lot of enemies

It's also why up till the culprits who tried to assassinate him a few years a haven't been found, one because there were too many suspects, and two all the recent turmoil in the empire

However, even if that was the case, Arthur wasn't too surprised since as his younger sister he had already made some protective measures for situations like this.

"Whoever you are don't let me catch you or else I'll make you regret your whole existence!"

Cursing angrily, the surrounding air unknowingly began to tremble causing Anna who had been silent all this while, to begin to tremble

.........….

[Somewhere underground near the Thorneheart viscounty]

Surrounding a somewhat hidden cave entrance, just like Elena described a group of fully clad, masked men blocked its surroundings making sure nothing could go in or go out without their knowledge

Wearing a fully white robe with red stripes and a white pointed mask, had it not been for the giant red octopus on the back of their robes they could easily be mistaken as templars from the church of Light

And right now, in this cave guarded by these masked men a man who dressed similarly to them was currently cursing out loud

"Damn, what is this! How could she be protected like this? The information told us nothing about it!"

"Could it be that we were played!"

Pulling on his hair, the man couldn't help but be frustrated by the current situation

Yes unlike the others who were masked, he was different. Wearing a pair of gloves on his hand, long messy sewed green hair, dark circle and huge bags under his eyes

He looked like a typical researcher who hadn't slept in days due to his work

Fortunately, just as he was about to lose his mind, a calm voice sounded from behind him

"Avalon, calm down. Don't forget we don't have much time"

"How long would it take you to break down that defense or whatever that is?"

And Avalon hearing this couldn't help but calm down as a strange smile crept on his face

"ha-ha so you're even here my friend, you might as well help me"

"Or could it be that you're still pretending to be mysterious in front of me?" said Avalon

Unfortunately, just like he had expected there was no reply, to which he just spoke and continued to look at the project right in front of him

Floating in a giant black orb, was an unconscious Sabrina Thorneheart the only daughter a of the Thorneheart household and Arthurs only sister

However, right now she was in their custody

*Boom! *

Throwing a fist at the giant orb, apart from the initial gust of wind thanks to the power behind the fist, there was not even a crack on it. Obviously, his punch just now had no effect

"arghhh! Do you see it! How could I Avalon have the greatest seed in my possession and not be able to touch it!"

"Damn you Thornehearts! How could you torture me like so!"

Flashing a flurry of emotions, although he seemed calm now but the madness behind his eyes could not be hidden

And the figure hidden behind him, after seeing this remained silent for a while before speaking up

"Move, ill break it for you, but then you have to act as soon as possible"

"Although I don't know why but I get the feeling we should leave here soon"

Not giving Avalon a chance to reply, a giant sword slash came from behind hitting the orb directly with a wave of mana

*BOOM! *

Along with a loud sound, Avalon immediately noticed a difference in the orb. This time unlike before there was a crack on it

"ha-ha I knew I could count on you, do these enough times and with her in our hands, maybe all our dreams might come true!"

Laughing to the sky, Avalon completely ignored the figures bad feeling and instead pressed him to continue attacking the orb 

And the figure seeing this, didn't waste any more time and readied himself for the next slash.

Unfortunately, what neither the masked men outside nor two of them inside the cave knew was that along with the first crack a chain reaction had taken place in the Thorneheart viscounty.

[Soul world]

Sitting on the round table under the stars of the soul world, Arthur at this moment was having a meeting with his dependents in regards to his missing sister

And as his dependent, they could all feel a portion of Arthurs emotion and right now they could feel he was really angry

"My Lord, thanks to the connection of my slime shield on the young miss I can vaguely sense their position"

"Adding to the fact that they most likely be hiding, then these are the best hiding posts within the area"

"If we split up our forces, we should be able to find the young miss by nightfall today"

Spreading a map on the table, Leona the slime queen and one of the newer dependents spoke up attracting everyone's attention 

However, just before anyone could reply, a sudden change occurred.

"Ack!"

Placing her palm on her chest, she suddenly felt a strong stinging sensation causing her to frown almost instantly

"Also master, it seems like the kidnappers have managed to create a crack in the shield"

As she said this, unknowingly the air instantly became several degrees colder.
