In Triblossom City, a dark beast tore a portal open and descended to a location just half a minute’s walk from the junction leading to Triblossom High School and Triblossom Elementary School. Its first appearance ruined a shop house, causing eight people inside, including the shop owner, to be severely injured. Simultaneously, it blew away a teenager and a kid who appeared to be passing by the area.

The teenager managed to save the kid but hit his head and collapsed. He was unable to gather the strength to run for his life.

Citizens ran for their lives as quickly as possible, following exactly what they had been taught since childhood: evacuate the moment they see a dark beast to make space for the Mages as battlefield and avoid becoming victims of the soon-to-begin intense battle.

Citizens reported the emergency to the authorities, and armed cops rushed to the location as fast as they could. However, the situation was out of their control this time as their weapons were useless against that giant dark beast.

It seemed like the dark beast had evolved, becoming immune to this level of assault from their mana-powered guns.

The dark beast soon turned its face toward them, and a dreadful attack soon fell upon them.

The Precaria Gem Squad, in charge of this city, had still yet to arrive; it takes time for them to reach here too.

While the cops desperately decided to take the impact, a shining shadow dashed in front of them from the roof of the nearby building, striking directly at the dark beast. The dark beast took the crash and fall backward, wrecking the floor and raising a cloud of dust. The silhouette took a casual backflip, stood still, and blocked away the swarming dust cloud.

Only now could people see the true shape of the savior.

Her dark-toned, pinkish knee-length hair gracefully flowed in the wind, her face displaying a sharp look that gave others a fierce impression. Her attire, however, mirrored Morganite, the leader of the Precaria Gem Squad, but in the opposite tune; Morganite was cutely pink and white-ish, while hers was dark pink and black-ish, a tone that lacked any upbeat charm.

Who is she?

Those few who hadn’t gotten the chance to flee all had the same question, as did the cops who still had their eyes wide open.

Who is she? A new Mage? Why have we never heard of any news reports about that? And she has a very mature appearance and body; there has never been a Mage with this kind of debut!

In most cases, Mages would now voice out the “Termination Order”, explaining who they are and their intention to purify the dark beast, similar to how police would show their warrant and explain themselves before continuing their search in someone’s house. But this girl said nothing.

She stared at the giant dark beast, closing the gap between her fingers to form a tight palm, and light started to glow along the edge of her palms. Then, without any spell incantation and no magical weapon activation through voice control, she slightly bent her knees and lunged herself into the battle with the dark beast.

The light emitted at the edge of both of her palms glowed stronger, and every slash she cast on the dark beast brought out its howl in pain. She was fast and spry, dodging all dark beast’s attacks while simultaneously injuring the beast, although the injuries she caused were not significant due to the beast hardened shell-like skin.

Their battle was intense; each strike aimed to take down the other. The impacts caused by each contact blew air blasts stronger, wave by wave. And she undoubtedly had the upper hand. With the light shining brightly like a star on her right palm, she dashed and pushed herself near the dark beast’s chest. The light blade form on the right palm pierced into the dimmed black stone attached to the beast’s chest like an almighty spear.

The black stone was the only weak point of the dark beast. Though this is obvious, that stone possessed hardness not easily broken or destroyed. Not every Mage had the ability to smash the black stone into pieces with just one shot; thus, whoever could do so would undoubtedly become the idol and hero of the public.

So, everyone who witnessed her piercing the stone paid her high respect instantly, even though her identity was still a mystery.

Dark beasts would disappear when the black stone is destroy. But before their disappearance, they launch their final and greatest attack. If this attack is managed well, the purification process that cleans away all dark aura that polluted environment can proceed. Items damaged by that dark aura can be recovered, and even some of the survivors’ wounds could be healed, although the destroyed buildings can’t be recovered in a glimpse. Legends have it that Mages hundreds of years ago might have been able to do so, but unfortunately, it’s not happening now, and obviously not going to happen to this lady who never brought out her FayOra Stone.

Everybody was awaiting her to manage the final blow from the beast and start the purification process, but she seemed exhausted and took the beast’s attack right on her face.

The giant claw smashed into her body, and she was thrown onto the wall just like a splash of mud. The impact even left a large dent under her body on the wall, and she collapsed onto the floor under the forces of gravity, not standing up again.

After the final attack, the dark beast vanished into a clump of dark mist and dissipated into thin air. As the gasping cops attempted to assist the brave lady, another silhouette, cloaked in a dark blue hue, leaped off the roof of another building and landed in front of her. Though clearly an adult male, none could recognized his face despite his face remain uncovered.

He lifted her into his arms while effortlessly casting a purification spell on the scene. The spell was remarkably effective, clearing away the dark aura in just a second; not even an experienced Mage could perform a purification that well!

After applying a few healing spell to the injured, he bent his knees and took a few jumps, reaching the rooftops. He carried the lady away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Another enigmatic figure, silent and seemingly a Mage but definitely not one; the mysterious pair had become the hottest topic in the city now.
