As the people at the edge of the Awakening Platform watched Nina's Magic Gem take the form of two crossed bones, connected in the middle position, she felt a red pentagram appear in her subconscious.

When the people in the stands on that platform saw her gem glow a vivid cyan, something shocking that happens once every 10 million awakened magicians, she understood her unique power.

Nina's power allows the user to manipulate dark energy to drain the life out of their opponents. By directing this dark energy at her targets, the user can drain their life force, gradually weakening them while strengthening herself. This ability allows the user to regenerate during combat, becoming more resilient and powerful as their enemies weaken.

The life drain would not only cause physical damage to opponents but could also affect their minds and spirits, leaving them exhausted and depleted of vital energy. The user could channel this stolen energy to heal their own wounds or to increase their strength, endurance, and magical power, making them a threat on the battlefield.

That was a power of the same classification as Vicente's first magical form, something internal to the individual that could affect the outside of their body.

Nina couldn't form a weapon or anything like that. Her weapon would be her hands or her own skin, through which she could channel this special power.

She learned all this in a few seconds when she felt the properties of her pentagram.

She didn't care if it was a power that would lead her to the Dark Path, let alone if her talent was high. The most important thing for her now was that she had awakened magical powers!

For many years, she feared she wouldn't get any powers. When she finally received her Magic Gem, she couldn't help but smile happily as tears streamed from her eyes.

Amid this special moment for her and her family, the same thing that had happened to Lauren was about to happen in this Awakening Temple!

As soon as she awakened such a powerful talent, the strongest of the watchers there moved to try to get closer to Nina.

"Girl, come with me!" One said as he appeared behind Nina, eager to take this girl into his organization and let her begin her journey.

But the moment five Sky Sovereigns appeared around Nina, the whole building shook as a terrifying aura rose from one of the highest floors of the building.

"Daring!" Vicente opened his mouth as his pentagrams appeared simultaneously. The entire space around the building was under his control, impossible to enter or leave.

"She's not someone with no support for trash like you to even think about approaching!" Vicente said as a metal throne formed behind him, and he floated above the Awakening Platform.

Everyone on the platform looked up at him and felt the terrifying power of a Sky Sovereign at the peak of his level, while an oppressive sensation made everyone below the 3rd stage in that place faint.

The five experts who appeared near Nina looked in Vicente's direction and found it difficult to move their muscles.

'Who is that person?' The man in the black cloak wondered as he felt the darkness in his body weaken in front of such a person.

The shadows on Vicente's metal throne seemed to have a life of their own, giving off a feeling that even his companions couldn't help but wonder if he didn't have a power of darkness as well.

However, Rory, Nova, and the others knew Vicente's story and easily imagined that this was the extent of his hatred for those who had taken Lauren.

The man in the black cloak was a member of such an organization!

Several of them were scattered throughout the kingdom.

Vicente hadn't acted against any of them yet because doing so wouldn't help him with Lauren, but that didn't mean he didn't hate them.

"Vicente." Sacred Devotee Barber appeared beside his daughter's young friend, sensing how terrible this boy was.

Vicente then announced to everyone. "Everyone here will forget what happened today. Either you commit to that, or I'm going to have to get blood all over this place."

'Shit!'

'Who is this person?'

The 4th stage experts wondered, but they could do nothing to find out who Vicente was or even try to change the situation. Vicente was already so strong that he alone could kill all the people in this building!

The wisest of them said. "I didn't know she was already with someone so strong. I'm sorry, I spoke too soon. I promise not to tell anyone."

"Your promise isn't good enough!" Vicente floated this man over to him and then placed a mark of slavery on this person, making his pentagrams mark this individual.

"From now on, you may never speak against Nina Fuller or talk about what happened on this occasion," Vicente said as he gave the only order he would give to this individual.

The others swallowed their saliva, seeing he was strong enough to mark them and make them do things for him.

But everyone there had already realized that if they didn't do what he wanted, they would die. So the people there accepted, with Vicente even marking the members of that temple who saw Nina's result.

"Was that necessary?" Jasmine appeared beside him as she saw Vice finish marking her father.

"I can't risk Nina's life," Vicente said as he landed next to where his sister had collapsed.

He then looked at the experts in the area and said. "If something happens to her, I'll blame you. Even if it's not your fault, I will hunt you down wherever you are." His eyes shone with murderous intent.

He knew that until he became stronger, his mark on these people wouldn't be as strong, and there would be ways for these men to hurt Nina. They couldn't talk about her to other people. Still, they could direct people who weren't there today to look for someone in the city and eventually pass on her information to others.

So, in addition to his mark, he made sure those people knew what would happen to them if anything happened to her.

"Casey, erase the memory of everyone below the 4th stage," Vicente ordered as the subject already moved to erase the minds of the unconscious people in the area.

Vicente looked at Eve and said. "From now on, Nina will wear a mask 24 hours daily. I don't even want our men to know about her talent."

Eve understood as Nova approached him and said. "I will help ensure that no one but us knows about this, Vicente. But sooner or later, it's going to get out."

"Then let it be as late as possible. I don't mind if her talent leaks out when she's already a High-level Mage. But until then, we have to make sure it doesn't." He said before his group left, happy for Nina but also worried.

A superb talent was good but also problematic!
