A Cave in the Mountain of the Armis Kingdom
Marni did not immediately answer Mariana's question, but first she took out almost all the items in the space ring, ranging from furniture, toiletries, laboratory tools, and beds. Next he put his goods on the corners of the cave that fit so that the cave he occupied became more aesthetic.
"Marni!" mariana's fingers pointed at Marni in anger.
"Wait and see. I'm testing the theory as long as I'm learning," replied Marni while cutting the paper in the form of a mini version of a human and some are in the form of a small fairy. Then Marni dripped her blood onto some paper dolls she made.
..."Wake up..."...
"Shikigami? Where did you learn this kind of thing?" mariana asked Marni who was observing her work.
"Wouldn't you tell me about magic, mana, and things like that when I was a kid. After I grew up, I started to get interested in studying astrology, fengshui, vodoo, taoism, daoism, onmyodo, tarot, mm. It was unexpected that it turned out to work here." said Marni lightly.
Mariana, who did not understand Marni's mind, finally stopped talking. He was busy observing the paper dolls carrying fibers and twigs. Then from those materials, they started making small dolls.
Then he turned his attention towards Marni who was busy ascetic. He was curious about what Marni was doing so he slowly approached Marni. Marni who felt the air of Mariana who approached opened her eyes.
"What are you doing?" marni said, while passing by taking pen and paper from the desk drawer. Marni starts writing down the names of people then passes on with the time of birth, and the date of birth that Mariana does not know what the point is.
..."Coming up..."...
Mariana saw several shadows springing up one by one before her. Seeing Marni calling one by one the shadows according to her name made Mariana gawk, she then glared as if in disbelief when she heard the whisper of the command that Marni did.
..."Take their blood, nails, and hair..."...
Although Mariana had never seen anyone do witchcraft, but that did not mean she did not know at all. Mariana realized that she was witnessing the practice of black magic.
"Marni! Holy hooch! Don't tell me you want to hang people!" mariana shouted out loudly, honey only Marni can hear. Perhaps if Mariana was still human, her voice would echo until it came out of the cave.
"But you don't have to kill them. Killing is evil, Marni. Revenge will not solve the problem" Mariana said.
"Unnormal circumstances, it is allowed. But right now we are either dead or I am dead. If you take on the role of a deer, even if you cry and the world sees it. Who would blame the tiger for killing the deer?" asked Marni who folded her hands on her chest while looking at Mariana with a gaze that seemed to speak 'you are too naive, man'.
Mariana, who was upset in addressing Marni, chose to go looking for fresh air outside to lighten her mind. It occurred to him to walk to meet people who could give him advice.

Rainforest - Frontier of the Afreda Region
The remaining followers of the Arkhaya clan, consisting of Aron, Sebastian, Lucas, Mark, Yu Gi, and Yu Qin, gathered at the Rain Forest cottage, where their master disappeared. Some of them traced the trail their master left behind and others stood guard around the cottage.
The last trace of their master was on the hill just behind the hideout. Unfortunately, they could not trace the coordinates of the magic transfer performed by their master. Finally it was decided they negotiated at the main table of the family room with the witness as well as the main suspect of the disappearance of their master.
"Sebastian.." Aron calls with an expressionless face. Sebastian's feeling of fear mixed with anxiety was clearly reflected in the look on his face.
"When did you actually realize Miss's loss?" aron's interrogation looked straight into Sebastian's eyes. Although Sebastian feels guilty but he is not a traitor. He wanted to complain about that but when at this point, Sebastian had no choice and could only compromise.
"Just like you. Before I only opened the door for you guys and suddenly I couldn't feel Miss's life" Sebastian responded, looking at his friends.
"You!!!" lucas yells that almost hit Sebastian but is prevented by Mark and Yu Gi.
"Hi, gais.." suddenly the voice of Miss they were looking for greeted and made everyone's gaze fixed on the direction Miss's voice came from. But they saw nothing there.
