Voxius leaves his study to find out that the children were not able to finish the quest. They request him to support their friend he asks them if they've determined anything from their quest and they look confused and say we failed what was there to learn? He tells them a story of when he was just a novice still learning the roots of magic that he also failed the same quest they were given they ask if it's about teamwork and determination he laughs and says that's most of it. But the most crucial part is to never give up or lose sight of what you need to do in order to accomplish your goal. They wrap up their lesson and head to bed, they wake up the following morning to Mel and Voxius practicing a modern type of necromancy spell, they ask if there's anything they can do to help them they say no it's an extraordinarily difficult type of spell that novices shouldn't try doing under any circumstances. But he says that they can try to practice this other type of necromancy spell that will aid them in case of emergencies but to be careful cause if they don't do it correctly it can backfire horribly. They try using the spell near the waters on the mountain so just in case they mess up they'll be secure in the purified water, they try the spell and everything is going well until the skeletons try slashing them. But for some reason, they arouse a weird suspicion that it's not their skeletons they jump into the purified water the skeletons try to follow but all end up dying. Then out of nowhere an explosion type magic is shot towards them they run down the mountain towards Mel and Voxius for safety they ask what's wrong and who used explosion magic they say it wasn't them and that they were attacked but didn't see who fired it at them. Voxius tells Mel to stay and protect the children while he goes find the perpetrator she agrees and stays behind but suddenly out of nowhere a gang of notorious criminals come out and try to ambush them Voxius uses a protection spell while Mel summons undead knights. Voxius asks who they are, and they say they are the Occult of The Demon Gazramuk sent to retrieve the child and resummon the demon. Voxius asks who ordered them and they reply don't worry cause you won't be alive long enough to discover who they are, they attack and Voxius defends he uses a single spell and kills all but one then asks directly who ordered you? The last one alive pulls a knife out of his satchel and slices his own throat Mel brings the children inside to relax them, At that time Mel and Voxius have a conversation about how they knew about the demon and where it was they think back to of anybody who knew about the demon and they remember one person who would have such knowledge and set a plan together, to find out where they are.
