Re: The Villainess Does It With Class

Chapter 249 - Mana Storm

The magician shook his head.

"Other than the mana fluctuation, something else is happening in her head. I don't know what it is but it's not harmful to her."

He could sense a trace of magic that is unheard of and he had never encountered before. But he couldn't sense any hostility from it, making him curious and eager to explore.

Leon met his steady gaze.

"Can you do something about it? I will pay. Any amount is fine. I just… my daughter..." he choked on his overwhelming concern and trailed away.

The magician's eyes shrank.

"I'm sorry…"

He really can't solve it himself. The lady set that as a coping mechanism and if he forcibly intercept it, it will rebound on both of them and that would surely end up ugly.

Both of them become despondent. There was nothing to do and they couldn't do anything at all…

The magician felt guilty as he watched their bleak expressions. If it was the arcane tower's master, maybe he could do something. But the magicians and the priests can't directly speak to him and they rarely even see him. Aside from Z, no one can get close to him at all.

'Well, if it's Z, maybe he can ask the master. But… the master doesn't want to associate himself with people…'

He then paused.

'But he ordered us to help here… then maybe?'

"Maybe we could ask the--"

Before he could finish his sentence, the wind suddenly picked up, rushing inside the room. All the people gathered were taken aback and just as they were about to act, the situation got worse.

"Ahh!" Someone screamed after getting hit by a flying vase.

The magician sensed the unstable fluctuations in the air and immediately got into action, putting a barrier inside the room. The two priests then shielded the people so they wouldn't get hit by flying debris.

The magician's eyes widened upon realizing what was happening.

"Everyone get out!" He bellowed and motioned the two priests with him.

It's a mana storm!

Because of the huge amount of unstable mana, it will kick up a storm and end in an explosion. Looking at the fierce gale inside the room which is still steadily growing, it's a huge one. If any normal people are present, it will surely lead to death!

The priests understood what he meant and ushered the maids out. Both Leon and Nathan were unwilling at first but because of years of experience, they could sense how dangerous the situation was for them.

"Contact the tower master!" After giving the order, he gritted his teeth and strengthened the barrier in the room, wanting to contain the mana storm and not let it affect the whole mansion.

But he is only a mere magician. He could only minimize the damage and not guarantee that everyone would be safe, including himself. Heck, he can't even endure the mana fluctuation at all and there were already scratches on his face and body. He is already sweating like crazy just to maintain the thickness and efficiency of the erected barrier.

He just hopes that the storm won't grow bigger. And to his dismay, a fierce storm, the color of azure, grew bigger, almost swallowing the room. He gawked at the massive mana that is still growing and he paled. He can't even be amazed at how pure it is anymore and had started fearing for his life.

If this goes on then there is nothing he can do…

How terrible is this lady's mana reserve?! She actually have this much?

No… not only this much… 

Mana storms are the product of unstable mana but it doesn't mean that it is everything. It's only the part that had escaped the core...

"This is so unreasonable…" he murmured, feeling astonished and helpless at the same time.

What a rare talent.

But if this is not solved soon, this talent would turn into waste. 

Outside the room, Leon and Nathan stared at the closed door that seemed like it's about to break. They could still feel the fluctuations in the air even if they are already separated by the barrier. The priests were even more frantic but they ignored them, as their hearts and minds were thinking about Nadia.

Everything happened so fast they could hardly digest anything. The fact that Nadia has mana still hasn't sunk in and was in the back of their minds. 

"Are they going to be okay?" Leon anxiously asked the priests.

"Don't worry, we already contacted Lord Janus. Let's just hope that he would come quickly." One of them answered wearily.

Nathan clenched his fists, stopping himself from not recklessly charging inside. He knows that he is powerless and he could only wait there in distress.

---**

The magician was in a terrible circumstance at the moment. He was already having a nosebleed from making sure that the barrier won't break. He wanted to give up and was desperately wishing that the master would come and save him. Save everyone here. Because he's about to fail and that would be terrible.

At the moment, he's actually shedding tears.

Terrible! So terrible!

As he was at the end of his wits, the heaven's finally heard his prayer. Janus came.

He gawked at the stalwart figure in front of him. In his eyes, Janus looked so manly right now. His presence made him let out a relieved sigh and be optimistic.

Janus put a barrier and teleported the poor magician out of there. He then stared at the wild mana storm in the middle of the room and clicked his tongue.

"The seal broke huh…" 

It was inevitable but he didn't know that it would be this soon. Something must have triggered it which resulted in this catastrophe. If it followed the pace, then everything would have been fine. There would be no mana storm.

He suddenly felt annoyed and wanted to hunt down whoever caused this to happen. But firstly, he needed to calm this unstable state of Nadia.

He approached the bed-- no, what is supposed to be the bed because it's gone now. Disintegrated like fine dust. The whole room was a mess and everything in here was ruined. He ignored the state of the surroundings and focused on the sleeping woman.

"Here it goes…"
