General Alaina. 

"I am really not okay with this arrangement," Secre said with a foul face.

"Now~now~ Secre-chan don't be so angry. Let Julian explore his manhood" Finral teased Secre.

"Shut up your mouth before I seal your so-called manhood permanently" Secre gave a death glair to Finral making him flinch with fear.

Currently, both Secre and Finral were walking the roads of the red-light district.

"I don't think you need to worry about Julian. He knows his way around this area…"Finral said.

"And how do you know that?" Secre asked.

"When Julian was new to the squad, I went on a mission with him to the red light district to rescue a kidnapped noble.

He had his composer under control back then so there is no doubt that he will get the information he needs without his emotions taking over."

"I understand that he can control himself but why are you ogling every woman you see? Don't you have a fiance?" Secre asked.

"Th-thanks for reminding"

The exploration of the second day of the Obelisk city opened up some new doors of exploration for the Black Bulls.

The first thing Julian did was investigate the Black Market from where he got the information that a high-ranking Diamond Mage has been seen in the Red light district.

The Obelisk city was not just built on the ground but had some underground districts too. And reed light districts were one of them.

Although the area was underground, it didn't feel like it as there were multiple devices on the roof that made an image of the sky to make it seem like they were not really underground.

The red light district as expected had a lot of fancy decorations with a nice fragrance in the air.

In one room of the red light district, Julian and a woman who slowly started striping ,were alone in a room.

"~Booya~ is this your first time here~

~Older sister will make sure to teach you everything~" a woman touched Julian's chest with a seductive smile.

"Yes, it's my first time but I don't need you to teach me anything," Julian said as the woman made eye contact with him only to fall asleep instantly.

[Awww mannnn! another opportunity wasted...

Why are you such a pathetic virgin my dude? You had a girl ready to pop your cherry but you had to get your virginity shield activated] Kirin screamed in Julian's mind.

"Stop annoying me Kirin…

I am not interested in getting my cherry popped by just anyone. I will only do it with someone I love.

Moreover, I don't want to get some unknown disease that healing magic can't cure"

"Why are you set on getting me laid anyways? " Julian asked.

[Boy I have connections with your mind space, I know how horny of a teen you are.

Only I know about your huge collection of erotic books and comics

I am surprised that you didn't jump on the girl in front of you.]

"Stop worrying about me regarding this matter, everything has a time and I will someday have my chance too but this is not the time"

[Fine…..I am pretty sure Secre would have been pretty pissed if you got laid anyways ].

"I know.."

Julian put the dress back on the woman and left the money he was supposed to pay by her bead and left the room.

Using sealing magic he opened the door of the next room and took the two people immediately under his control.

[Is this the guy a captain? You humans indeed have some weird kinks] Kirin said seeing the position the two people were in.

The man was laying on the bed with a face full of pleasure while the woman was stepping on his manhood with a disgusted face.

"Humans have all sorts of fetishes, it's better if you don't think about it. As for your first question,

Yes, this is the guy we were searching for."

[Finally! It's the fifth brothel we looked around…it's been five hours since we are searching for this guy.

I was getting bored].

"I know you just want to taste the street foods. Just wait a few minutes more, we can fulfill your wish after that"

The first thing he did was seal the camera temporarily that was recoding the two people do the act.

Julian read through the man's memories and found the information he needed.

The man was supposed to keep an eye on the mages of the Clover kingdom who will arrive but forgot about it after indulging in pleasure.

From the man, Julian got the information that the spies are kept in a prison in the capital of Diamond Kingdom.

He was one of the people who caught a Clover Kingdom spy so he had the way to the prison in his mind.

After he was done taking information, he left them to do what they were doing by removing his control over them.

Julian sent Secre a magic signal to meet him at the discussed location as he left the brothel to buy Kirin some street food.

Kirin took the form of a snake and ate everything in one go.

"Didn't you want to have a taste? Why are you gulping it down in one go? "

[Did you forget I didn't have any digestive system? I will enjoy the taste talking my time]

"Sure sure "

Julian met up with Secre and Finral at the decided location and told them about the information he needed.

"Secre…why are you looking at me like that?"

Keeping her hands on her shoulders Secre asked " You didn't do anything inappropriate right?"

"Of course not! I didn't do anything "

This is when Kirin who was enjoying the food spoke up.

[He is lying….

He absolutely ravaged the woman he was with…

She kept begging him to spot but he went on like a beast in heat.

Not just one but he did that with two women from different brothels.

I don't think those two women will be normal ever again]

Julian forcefully shut Kirin up not as he was making the situation worse with every word he spoke.

Finral was doing his best to not burst out laughing while Secre's grip on Julian's shoulder tightened as her eyes glowed red.

"Ki-Kirin was just joking. Nothing of that sort happened Secre. You can tell by our connection, right?

Let's go on a date after this mission, this will make up for it right?"

"Right…..I believe you.

And Kirin don't forget that I know some seals that can permanently seal off a spirit "

[Yes ma'am!!]

[ Never know she had that side to herself….what was that called again…yes Yandere ] Kirin said in his mind.

'Whose fault do you think it is !'.

"Now ~now let's change the topic for now. Let's decide our next course of action." Finral said.

"Let's set out for the capital immediately," Julian said with both of them agreeing.

Finral created a portal to go directly outside the city to avoid any further hustle.

As soon as Julian exited the portal, he felt a change in the air.

He showed three fingers to Finral who immediately closed the portal leaving Julian alone in the area in front of the city.

'The wind is moving in an unnatural direction….as if forcefully changed…

The mana in the air is too dense….someone is using mana zone'

He looked back and saw that the city guards were not present, finally, he looked up to see someone floating in the sky.

A woman whose long purple woman waved along the wind. She wore silver plates all over her body fitted with diamonds which appeared to be the armor of some sort.

Julian could recognize the woman from her facial features.

General Alaina.

One of the old generals of the Diamond Kingdom and one of the expert strategists.

Not much was known about her battle powers as she appeared very less but she is estimated to be very strong.

"How did you know we will appear here ?" Julian said loud enough for the woman to hear.

"Manipulating information….." the woman's voice rang around Julian.

"No matter from which direction of the city you came out, I would have been preset there. "

Her voice appeared to be calm without a thread of confidence.

"The captain…from whom you took information….was set up by me.

I had to know who infiltrated our kingdom to take appropriate steps. "

"Then you must know who I am from my powers," Julian said.

"Julian of the Black Bulls…..the one with spatial magic must be Finral.

I advise you to surrender peacefully and come with me. If you do that I am willing to let your comrades go"

"What if I refuse ?" Julian said.

"Then I take to take you down before taking you with me"

"Since you know who I am, you should also be knowing about my powers

Shouldn't you be more prepared to face me?" Julian asked.

"If it's you, I don't think using numbers will be useful….

I alone should be enough " Alaina said as an overwhelming mana pressure erupted out of her taking the form of a white Hawk.

Julian responded back with his own mana pressure that pushed her back making Alaina surprised for a second.

The next second she did something that Julian had only seen only a handful of times.

[Mana zone: Breath of Notus]

Her mana pressure condensed around her wand as she shot a terrifying beam of wind at Julian.

[Lighning Spirit Assimilation: Spirit Dive]

Lightning crackled around Julian as he immediately got out of the way for the beam to hit the ground and cause a large explosion.

Not even a second passed as she appeared behind Julian slashing her wand that that now taken the form of a condensed wind sword.

[Aquila Favonia]

Julian was quick to respond and countered back with one dagger coated in red flames and another coated in black lightning.

[Wind Mana zone: Mirage of ignorance]

Hundreds of slashes made of fire and lightning were sent at Alaina but she was able to dodge most of them as if she was moving with the wind.

Her mastery over the mana zone was to a level that she could appear at an area within her range.

Moreover, her speed was something that was to be cautious off.

Small Wyverns made of wind circled around Julian releasing bullet-like attacks from their wings as well as beams from their mouth.

[Lightning spirit magic: Lightning steam]

A sound chirping of thousands of birds rang out as streams of lightning emerged from Julian's hand destroying all of them.

"I had received information about your red flames, but never knew about you using lightning magic " Alaina's monotonous voice rang out around Julian.

"Now you know about it "

[Mana Zone Dark Flame Magic: lava Dragon's roar]

A large red dragon shot out of Julian's daggers and gulped down Alaina in one go.

[Wind mana zone: Breath of Notus ]

Boom!

A strong beam burst out of the dragon's stomach slicing it apart.

Kagune emerged behind him sending two [ obs of chaos ], one made of flames and another made of lighting at Alaina.

Alaina felt danger from the orbs and sent another Mana pressure-enveloped beam to destroy the one made of flames but the one made of lightning hit her.

[ Wind Mana zone: Wind Clone ]

Instead of her getting hurt, her body turned into a blast of wind and disappeared as her unscattered figure appeared behind Julian ready with another sword slash.

[Lightning Spirit Magic: Strike of Indra ]

Boom!

As soon as she released a slash that Julian countered, a bolt of lighting fell on her causing an explosion.

A small vortex appeared around Alaina removing the smoke of the explosion to reveal her armors with some cracks.

"Your ability of mana zone and level of magic control is exceptional Julian but this is not enough…."

[Wind mana zone: Blades of Nortus ]

Mana around Julian became chaotic as multiple copies of Alaina started to appear all around him with various weapons in their hands.

Julian's body got enveloped in black lightning as he took his stance.

He swiped his daggers at one of them who came from above with an axe and simultaneously cut one in half with his Kagune.

[Dark Flame Magic: Great Fire annihilation ]

The sky got covered with a sea of red flames enveloping the wind clones attacking him.

Five different clones aimed their wands at Julian and released a devastating beam at him.

[Mana zone: Lava Dragon's roar ]

Meeting the beams were five large flame dragons that shot out of Julian's body.

The sky rumbled as multiple bolts of lightning fell on Alaina's original body, she managed to dodge most of them but two of them hit her shattering her armor.

Julian immediately dashed at her while his winds released flame missiles at her.

Multiple hawks of wind came out of her back to confront the missiles while she engaged Julian in a close combat match.

Julian noticed that her ability to become part of the wind to dodge even point-range attacks had a cooldown and it was in that period so Julian had to take her down now.

All her attacks were coated with mana pressure and Grand Master Reinforcement Magic so even one hit from her would be deadly for Julian.

But with the ability of Sharingan, KI, and speed from lightning magic, Julian completely suppressed her getting large on her chest and almost slicing her arm off before Alina created an explosion to create distance as multiple clones of wind formed again attacking Julian.

Condensing multiple orbs of chaos, Julian rotated his body and sent out condensed rotating spears of red flames and black lightning destroying multiple clones.

Condensing a large bow, Julian shot multiple arrows that pierced the chest of every single clone present there except the original one who destroyed the arrow and cast a large spell.

[Wind mana zone: Vortex confinement ]

A large tornado formed around Julian assaulting him with blades of wind from all directions. The tornado was so large that it reached the sky.

Clones of wind formed Inside the tornado and attacked Julian from all directions along with the blades of a tornado.

Small cuts started to form all over Julian's body but it was not too severe as he was countering all the attacks.

Julian's eyes glowed brightly as Dragon scales started to grow around his body increasing his defense.

He rotated his body creating a tornado in reverse made of red flames which started to absorb the wind tornado eating away it's mana.

'Her's evasiveness is taking too much time…'

[Yeah I know…..she can even dodge lightning magic spells which are insanely fast ]

'I will try something buy me some time'

Julian canceled the Spirit Dive as Kirin started attacking all the wind clones what were not destroyed by the flame tornado.

Meanwhile, Alaina took out some of the stones from her shattered armor and began chewing on them which should heal her injuries.

'Seems like I underestimated him too much….

The rumors about his powers didn't turn out to be rumors after all.

Even his captain Yami Sukehiro was not so troublesome to fight. I have to stop him here, I have no other choice'

She looked at her injury which for some reason was not healing as if the healing mana was disappearing before it can even act.

'What the hell is this'

Woosh!

The tornado of wind she created disappeared as the tornado of flames completely absorbed it completely developing the battlefield.

All Alaina saw was red as her expression started to crumble.

She became a part of the wind as multiple spears of blue lightning hit the place she was standing.

Kirin disappeared and attacked Alaina from all directions.

She showered Kirin back with all kinds of spells in her arsenal and managed to restrain him.

Somehow Julian's presence had disappeared into the red tornado that was surrounding her.

A few minutes later Julian appeared in front of her slashing his dagger but she blended with the wind to dodge his attack again.

This is when both Kirin smirked and entered Julian's body.

[Mana zone Sealing Magic: Location lock ]

He pointed his finger in a direction and shot a black bullet that hit something invisible in the air.

Bang!

[Forbidden magic: Yang Magic Suppression seal ]

Alaina's eyes widened with shock to see Julian detect her location. What came as more shocking was that she felt her magic going out of her control.

Julian appeared near Alaina with lightning magic and held her face as black lightning surged all over her body making her scream with pain.

[Sealing Magic: Physical strength Suppression seal ]

Purple lines started to spread all over her body completely taking over control of her body. This made her fall to the ground and cry out with more pain as she fell her bones breaking.

"That was a good fight but it will take more than this for the Diamond Kingdom to stop me"

The last thing she saw before losing consciousness was two red menacing eyes looking into her soul.
