The Strong and The Weak

The moment the Mystic Bloodline Cist's lid was closed, all the rune symbols on it started to shimmer darkly. The next moment, black glowing veins suddenly grew from the rune symbols, and they started to connect with each other until the entire Cist appeared like it was wrapped in tree veins. It was the end of the sealing process. 

When the sealing process was complete, the black veins suddenly started to pulse in a crimson hue, and except that there was nothing but silence. 

Lillian looked at the sealed Cist with an ashen expression as she couldn't sense anything, as if Alina had vanished from this world. Furthermore, when she tried to probe the sealed Cist, her martial sense bounced back! 

Ace's solemn voice sounded, "Don't worry, if someone goes wrong, I'll pull her out. There's no need for you to worry. I'll leave this Cist with you so she'll be close to you. You should cheer for her and hope she'll succeed!"
