Synopsis

The chapter opens with Bluich showing off her powerful magic, comparable to an imperial mage. A figure, possibly Cannavaro, is being questioned about their actions, and it's revealed a ritual to open a gate for hell knights is underway, using a statue of a fallen angel. This ritual seems to involve a magical barrier that has a drawback: the user can't move without it backfiring. Bluich tests the barrier by moving and also seems to absorb mana in response to a crisis.
