248 Ch. 248 'The Clock Magic Circle'

Not to mention that the sound of an anguished howl as if holding back pain made Niken's heart feel sore.

Grrrrr!!

Kazuto growled, trying to escape from the spike's thrust that drew his entire body. Alas, the spike extended into the sky, making Kazuto unable to move.

Yang Shuo displayed an evil smirk as he saw him have managed to trap the black knight. Now the wolf shifter's life was under his palm.

Yang Shuo created a spear made of silver and aimed it towards Kazuto's heart.

Niken's heart felt like it stopped beating at the vampire's intentions. She hoped that Kazuto would find a way to get out of the spikes, but the black wolf was too busy chewing the spike to notice the spear, who was ready to stab him to death.

"Say goodbye to him, my girl."

Just after Yang Shuo uttered his last words, the spear shot out at high speed stabbed Kazuto.

"NOOOOOO!!!"

Niken couldn't help but look at that gruesome scene.

The spear stabbed through Kazuto's heart, causing the wolf shifter to grind before finally, the light in his eyes went out.

The wolf shifter limped between the spikes that limply stabbed his body, making Niken's tears pour down her cheeks.

"No, Kazu." cried Niken relentlessly, calling her loved one, hoping the black wolf would move a muscle.

But, nothing. The black wolf stilled as if it was already dead a long time ago.

"Give it up, Xiao Yue. Now you have no reason to expel me."

"..." Niken looked down weakly because she still couldn't bear to accept the fact that Kazuto died in front of her.

Her brain still couldn't process this tragic truth.

She had just reunited with Kazuto after being separated for two months. She just got her memories back and broke out of the illusionary world.

Niken had just found out about Kazuto's past and was determined to return the big smile to the man.

But why...

Why did they have to end up tragically like this?

Niken didn't want to accept this fact. She refused to accept that Kazuto would leave her for good.

Niken's hands rose and gripped the bars as if the electricity didn't hurt her at all.

Niken could feel electric shocks attacking her palms. The longer she gripped the poles, the sting was getting bigger, as if trying to make her release her grasp.

However, Niken refused to loosen her grip. Her grasps tightened with no intention of letting go.

She didn't care about the pain assaulting her or her palms starting to burn as if they were burning.

She was determined to get out of this cage, which was preventing her from using her magic.

Niken's eyes, which initially purplish-black, have now become a brilliant and sparkling bright purple color.

Yang Shuo widened his eyes and did not expect Niken to have the body resistance to withstand his cage's electric shock.

Just as Yang Shuo was about to do something to prevent Niken from getting out of his cage, Niken managed to crush the two bars in her grip.

Without further ado, Niken came out of the cage and put her palms on the ground.

Her two brilliant purple eyes glowed brighter and brighter, and the sky showed an enormous magic circle filling the horizon.

Niken's magic circle's shape was unique and different from the magic circle of the wizard.

The magic circle was purple and had twelve numerals in ancient roman script.

These numbers form a circle like a clock. Inside this clock's magic ring, there was another circle that moved clockwise.

The inner-circle stopped moving in the next second, followed by all the creatures in this vampire realm.

Not only an ordinary vampire, Yang Shuo, who had drunk Niken's blood and was immune to Niken's power, also stopped moving.

Even Zephyr, the strongest wizard and should still be able to move in Niken's time dimension, froze on the spot just like everyone else.

In this vampire realm, the only person who could move and control the magic circle of time on the horizon was Niken alone.

Miraculously, not only did her eyes change, but Niken's hair color had also changed.

At the ends of her hair, there was a purplish glow like ombre hair with purple ends.

However, this purple color creeps and spread into Niken's black hair.

As soon as all of Niken's hair was a purple shade that matches her eyes' color, the inner circle of the magic circle moved again, and this time, it moved counterclockwise.

At the same time, the surroundings moved backward.

Kazuto's eyes that had been dim now glowed again, then the spear that had stabbed into Kazuto's heart came out, followed by the blood that came back into Kazuto's body.

The world seemed to be experiencing a reverse in time thanks to Niken's clock magic circle.

Without realizing it, Niken's nose was bleeding, and her head felt dizzy. But Niken still held on to ensure the time came back when Kazuto hadn't turned into a wolf yet.

Once things returned to what she wanted, Niken stopped her magic technique, and time went back to normal.

Currently, Niken was in Kazuto's arms, and the man was holding her bridal style while not stopping kissing the top of her head.

She did it!

She managed to reverse this world's event and saved Kazuto!

Apart from Niken, no one in the world knew what happened or aware of what Niken just did.

Niken linked her thoughts into Kazuto's mind through their mind-linking and told him everything.

At first, Kazuto was surprised to find out that he had already died before this.

Through Niken's thinking, Kazuto came to know what abilities the vampire in front of him had, and he knew his weakness.

This time he wouldn't let the vampire set the same trap on him.

Niken felt that her eyelids felt very heavy, and the earth seemed to shake in front of her. Her overwhelming fatigue did not escape Kazuto's attention.

"Thanks for saving me. Now, you can go rest. This time I won't let him won again." Kazuto said with high confidence and letting Niken fall asleep.
