The Golem Mage

Beatrice’s eyes followed Alec as he flew away, but she quickly redirected her attention back to her own issues, as she curled her fingers, causing visible strands of mana to materialize in the air and wrap themselves around the human Puppet’s body.

Despite appearing extremely fragile and on the brink of collapse, Beatrice’s worries were somewhat quelled by the fact that she had managed to obtain some of Albert’s blood.

As with a gentle motion, she raised the human Puppet using the mana threads, their strength helping to support its compromised state, the flaming pikes that had previously pinned it down dissipated upon Albert’s demise since he was the one who had cast the spell.

Once the puppet’s body was level with her own, Beatrice carefully poured out the collected blood, swiftly returning the tube to her space ring, as the blood was suspended mid air by some type of force, extending her right index finger, she began to inscribe intricate symbols in the air.

What took the spectators by surprise was the suspended blood obediently following the movements of her finger, like a delicate stream being gradually drawn out and tracing her ethereal calligraphy.

After a mere two seconds elapsed, it became evident to the crowd that what Beatrice was creating was a set of runes, the eerie feeling emanating from these symbols was intensified by the knowledge that they required someone’s blood to activate.

Yet, in this moment, Beatrice cared little for how she appeared to others, normally, she would hesitate to employ such spells, but the overwhelming sense of helplessness she felt—having to rely on Alec as a constant savior—had been her breaking point.

She was determined to do whatever it took to secure victory for her team, even if it meant delving into the secret spells of the Marionette clan.
