Forced Transmigration
45 - Time and Opportunity

...⪻⪼...

An hour earlier, the Empire's border with Rizery City.

“Sial! How could I possibly be off guard!”

Veister screamed in frustration as he tried to chase after Ivew with his teleportation magic towards the Rizery mansion. The young man with two-colored eyes was exhausted and could only teleport half the way.

His bead of eyes stared around as it caught the existence of the Rizery family's blue Mansion from a distance. Wiping the sweat flowing down his forehead Veister rose to his feet and began to walk under the scorching afternoon sun.

“The black magician! His attack weakens my magic!”

Veister muttered and continued walking even though the effects of the black magician's attack were still tormenting him. As Veister's steps grew dim, he passed an aquamarine-eyed young man in a uniform identical to light blue was riding his horse towards the imperial border area. The young man immediately got off his carriage and helped Veister who was about to fall.

“Hey you're okay, Mister?”

The young man embraces the nearly-falling Veister and puts his ear closer to Veister's mouth which is starting to run out of sound.

“Bring me ... to the Rizery mansion! Hurry up!”

The aquamarine-eyed youth looked at the exhausted Veister and then nodded. Helping the silver-black robed young man climb onto his horse and begin to spur his horse towards the Rizery Mansion.

Veister's two-colored bead stared at Rizery's Mansion which was beginning to enter his vision and felt riled up when it saw a faint black light visible in one of the rooms.

The aquamarine-eyed youth who was in front of Veister glanced at him when he heard Veister who kept sighing. Entering the gate of the Rizery mansion the two gasped when they heard the broken glass in one of the rooms in the mansion.

The faint bead eyes of the two young men caught the blackish glow coming out from the bedroom window. Veister began to panic as he felt the bracelet he had given Ivew react.

“Ivew! You can hear me, right?”

Veister shouted in panic as the horse that the young man was carrying drove faster towards the courtyard of the mansion. The aquamarine-eyed young man glanced at Veister who mentioned the name Ivew.

Isn't that Laveron's sister's name? Inner youth with the aquamarine eyes.

“That voice! Ivew where are you? Stay away from her! He's dangerous!”

Veister who had initially breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ivew's voice enter his head again panicked when he heard the heavy voice from the figure that attacked him earlier. The two-colored-eyed youth stared at the Rizery mansion that was fifteen meters away from them.

“Sial! Ivew wait ak-”

Veister was silent when he no longer heard Ivew's voice in his head. The young man felt that his gift bracelet to Ivew broke. The two soon get off the horse and meet Leister and Laveron who also just returned with their horses. The two young men looked in shock at Veister and the young man with those aquamarine eyes.

“Master Wine, where are you from? And ... Mr Veister? Why are you here?” leister asked looking at Veister who looked dirty and also exhausted.

“I ran out on patrol and met him on the border road towards the mansion,” obviously Wine glanced at Veister who was standing next to him with his aquamarine eyes.

“Dia ... Veister?”

Laveron asked and glanced at the figure of Veister who was in front of him. The young man with the two-colored bead nodded his head in disarray and again exclaimed in panic.

“What's with Ivew?”

Laveron asked cutting off Veister's speech. The young man's navy bead looked at the silent Veister and glanced towards the broken bedroom window. Leister and Laveron followed Veister's gaze and stared at the broken window of the room.

The three fell silent as they felt a gripping aura from the window slit. Several knights of the Rizery family ran around them along with Diano who ran out from inside the mansion.

“What's up, Diano?” leister asked looking at the panicked expression on the obsidian-eyed young man's face.

“I don't know! Suddenly we heard the glass breaking in Lady Mirabeth's room and when the servants checked it there was no answer from inside the room. We tried to force open the door, but failed as if something was blocking it!”

Diano explained with a gasp of breath after running from his study room when he got a report from his servant. The young man with obsidian eyes had already tried to open the door of Ivew's room using either his aura or his sword slash but there was no result he could get until he took the initiative to see things from the outside.

Laveron who heard Diano's explanation immediately ran into the mansion towards the sister's room followed by Wine who wanted to help her. Leister who saw Laveron ran glanced at the exhausted Veister beside him.

“What happened, Mr Veister?” leister asked looked at Laveron who started chanting the spell and directed his strength towards the crack of the broken room window.

The young man with two-colored eyes clucked in annoyance as the light that appeared in his palm again disappeared and did not reach the broken crack on the room window. Leister immediately helped Veister who was almost knocked down. His ruby bead stared at Veister's pale face and was covered in sweat.

“So the one with me on that trip wasn't you?”

Leister asked again and looked at Veister who was shaking his head. The young man with ruby eyes immediately understood the situation and began to realize Veister's cat's strange demeanor during the trip with him. The black cat who usually fell asleep while in Laveron's embrace when exposed to the wind was just staring straight ahead during the trip with him.

The ruby-eyed youth faintly also felt a strange aura from the cat that was inside his arms. However, he soon ignores her by being distracted by the conversation Laveron and Ivew had behind him.

“So who is that figure disguised to be you?”

Diano who had listened to the conversation asked and looked at Leister who helped embrace Veister's shoulder to stand up better. The young man with two-colored eyes clenched his hands and stared at the increasingly black light coming out from the crack of the broken window.

“He's a black magician and his goal is to kill the users of natural forces!”

Leister fell silent and glanced at the broken window glass. The two young men gasped as they looked back at the other glass in the same room shattering and took out a black tendril full of thorns on both sides. Veister began to raise his hand and directed his strength towards the tendril that came out from the glass gap.

“Light uctter!”

A silver-brown colored light shot out from both of Veister's palms and moved to cut the tendrils full of thorns that stuck out the window. The two young men immediately dodged when the tendril almost hit them. Leister closed his nose as he felt a foul odor emanating.

Veister's two-colored bead stared intently at the black smoke coming out from the tendrils. The two young men gasped when they heard the commotion from inside the room and immediately stared towards the window of the room. Leister's ruby bead widened as she stared at the grinning black figure wide on the window glass and immediately disappeared.

Veister immediately looked up as he sensed something approaching towards them and immediately shouted

some knights were talking to Diano around them for cover.

“Dodge everything!”
