— Dead mana glomes

    Cale flinched as he looked toward Saint Jack. Jack’s face was filled with anger but he couldn't understand at this moment with what.

he couldn't even think about Adileo's unruly request.

There was something brewing on this battlefield he could tell.

Jack started to speak to Cale.

“It’s a sacrifice.”

'huh?'

‘What?’

Adileo and Cale were both confused but soon the answer came from two sources—though one can only be heard by Adileo.

“That is the sound of the people that sacrificed by enemies for dead mana to power the golems!”

[ They are sacrificing people for dead mana. ]

'...freaks.'

The the description that went through Adileo's head at both of the explanations and as always it was spot on.

Cale realized that Hannah and Jack looked very similar when they were extremely angry.

Saint Jack’s body was shaking in anger.

“Young master-nim, please take me to the source of that noise at the center of the Alchemists’ Tower. And that dead mana-”

Jack wanted to go to the center of the Northern Alchemists’ Tower where the noise was coming from.

At this moment he couldn't even think about Adileo.

There was something he needed to do.

Until now there was nobody here who could take him there but it was now possible.

And then…

“Please destroy the dead mana.”

This was the person who controlled the fire of purification that had burned up Imperial Prince Adin’s golems.

Jack looked toward Cale.

Cale felt the need to organize the information about the situation after seeing the desperate look on Jack’s face.

“Aaaaaaaaah!”

They heard another terrible scream.

Cale flinched at the scream but still started to speak.

“Dead mana and sacrificing people. What do you mean by that?”

They had already located all four of the dead mana storage facilities through the map Cale memorized at the Southern Alchemists’ Tower.

Mary and the Dark Elves were already heading toward them.

Most importantly, the dead mana storage facility for the Northern Alchemists’ Tower was not located inside the tower but at a remote location.

But now Jack was saying that the dead mana storage facility was at the center of the Northern Alchemists’ Tower?

It did not make any sense.

He was also saying that they were using people as power sources.

Cale started to frown.

Black despair was what fueled the golems to move.
The black despair was even more terrible than dead mana.

Squeeze.

Cale squeezed Jack’s arm.

Jack finally calmed down a bit and answered Cale’s question.
