牛奶色隔壁有夫之妇

No one inside that place could understand what was happening. A powerful vampire who could go up against rank 1 mages was not fighting against a youth who had recently started on his magical journey.

What was the meaning behind that? Lucas and Liz knew Arthur had a secret, but they would keep it because he was their friend.

Sybille grabbed an old piece of paper and wrote the contract using her blood. It stated that she would have to obey all orders coming from Arthur for one hundred years, and if she went against the terms written in the contract, she would die a horrible death.

She stamped a symbol on it, and then it was done. Arthur grabbed the contract and read all of it, making sure it was correct. After that, he signed it, and she did the same.

"Done, now can you free me from this place?" Sybille asked, jumping with joy.

For her, it was not a big deal to follow orders of someone from one hundred years, as that was a small period for her. She also knew that in a dangerous world like that one, a youth like Arthur could die making her more willing to write such a contract.

Not only that, but Sybille had been inside that tomb for a long time, and she was getting crazy! No one would endure such a thing. The only reason she was still sane was because of the villagers who often came to talk to her throughout the generations.

She did not care if Arthur was lying or not. Getting out was the only thing she wished.

"Now, can you free my friends and send everyone away so that we can both be alone?" Arthur said.

Sybille waved her hands, freeing both Liz and Lucas, who could finally sigh in relief after realizing the situation was under control. Then, the two of them, alongside all the other villagers, left the tomb, returning to the village.

The only people inside were Arthur and Sybille, who could not understand who the youth in front of her were.

"Who are you exactly?" Sybille asked.

"I am a dragon. The reason for me being in such a decaying school is because I have a task. Now, you won\'t tell that to anyone, right? If you lie, then you are dead."

"What? A dragon? No way! I have never seen one, and I have been around for a long time. But if I remember correctly, weren\'t you supposed to be an enormous creature with wings, and not a good-looking man?"

"I am both. Now, let me get you out of here."

The reason Arthur was so confident in freeing her, and the reason he asked everyone else to leave, was his devour skill! He had not used it in a while, so it was not in cooldown, and he believed eating a spell or magical formation would be easy.

He walked around the room, looking for what was trapping Sybille inside that tomb.

"Do you know who trapped you here, and why?"

"I do not know. I woke up inside this place a long time ago with my memories a mess. Also, I do not know what is trapping me here. The only thing I know is that I can\'t pass through that door or touch the walls of this place." Sybille said.

"I see."

The entire tomb was under a powerful magical formation which would trap her inside. The most extraordinary thing was the fact that it was not a formation which would trap all vampires, as those Sybille turned could leave just fine.

The formation trapped Sybille, and Sybille only. Arthur wondered what was her real identity for someone to do such a thing. Now, what he needed to find was the core of the formation, and that had to be an object nearby.

Could it be the throne? The dinner table? Or the coffin where Sybille slept? No, that should not be the case. It had to be something Sybille would never think of, so even if she sent vampires to seek answers around the world, she would find nothing.

"This is it!" Arthur thought.

He walked toward her, which got her by surprise. "What are you doing?" She said with her cheeks getting red as Arthur got close enough for the two to share breaths.

Then he placed his hands behind her neck, taking out the necklace she was wearing.

"What do you want with my necklace? My mother gave me, and I never take it off!" Sybille said.

Even though she was a friendly vampire, for a split second she wanted to punch Arthur in the face because of the stealing.

"You never wondered why the vampires you sent found nothing about this magical formation? Whoever did this is a genius…"

"What do you mean?"

"All magical formations have a core. I believe you know that. So, instead of using an item around this area to be the core, they used the necklace. Sybille, whoever trapped you here, knew you a lot. Enough to be certain you would never take your necklace off." Arthur said.

"I see…"

The sadness on her face was clear as the blue sky. Sybille thought a lot about who had done that to her throughout the years, and even though she was not willing to accept it, she knew it was someone close to her, but who?

She never had the chance to find that out, but now that could change! Arthur had the core of the formation in hands, so all he had to do was eat the mana from the necklace, destroying the formation, and that was what he did!

Arthur opened up his mouth, and it expanded in a bizarre way, not looking like his mouth anymore but like a black hole who could devour an entire planet! Then, he placed the necklace in front of it, and slowly the mana from the necklace was being absorbed, going straight into Arthur\'s belly!

Not only was he destroying the formation and freeing Sybille, but his mana pool was increasing a lot, which he could turn into Spiritual Force later, making his journey to the rank 2 a little easier.

It took him a few minutes to finish the job, and each second that passed made Sybille more and more anxious. She wanted him to succeed. She wanted to leave and found out who did that to her!

"All done." Arthur said as his mouth returned to normal, and he slowly walked toward Sybille again.

She turned red again as Arthur pulled her hair to the side to make it easier for him to put the necklace where it was.

The pale neck of hers was charming, and when Arthur looked down, he saw the two white peaks moving with Sybille\'s breathing. A normal man could not resist such temptation, but Arthur was no normal man, so looked up again, and then pointed toward the door.

Sybille knew what it meant. She slowly walked toward it, and lots of feelings filled her body. Happiness of finally leaving that place, but also fear of not working in the end, and that Arthur was playing with her.

But when she tried to pass through the door, it worked! She went down to her knees and started crying tears of blood.

"I… I am finally free…"

Inside an unknown palace, a pale youth felt a pulse inside his body.

"No way… she escaped?"
