Chapter 25
Gulp.
A spurt of red blood spilled from Dante’s mouth.
Sitting upright to complete his incantation, Dante clutched his chest, his face turning pale.
It felt like his insides were burning away.
“…But with this, all the necessary magical tools are complete.”
He had completed the two magical tools he originally planned to make.
And one more, hastily crafted just in case of an emergency.
At that moment, there was a knock, and the door opened.
The person who entered was the aide to Grand Duke Bahar.
“Sir Sorcerer, have you finished creating the magical tools?”
Dante wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with a handkerchief and slowly stood up.
“Yes. What happened with the assassins?”
“We specially hired one SS-class, and the others were carefully selected from the S-class.”
“Understood. Thank you for letting me know.”
A bit of color returned to Dante’s pale face.
After the aide bowed and exited, Dante slumped into the chair with a thud.
“Please… let it end here…”
This was already the second attack.
If it failed again, next time, he would have to face Grand Duke Serenia herself—fully prepared.
“No matter how childlike she appears, facing Grand Duke Serenia head-on is something I should avoid at all costs.”
Of course, this time he had taken precautions so she couldn’t dispel the sorcery using something like his hair again.
Still, considering she defeated A-class assassins even in a child’s form, he knew better than to let his guard down.
“This time, I won’t die.”
To survive, he would use every bit of future knowledge he possessed.
Dante’s violet eyes glinted sharply as he clenched his fists.
One death… one failure… was more than enough.
