"Please… let me make it in time!"
Cabel was riding the horse with the magic crystal containing the soul of the duchess in a bag hanging on his shoulder.
He already teleported near the capital, however he still needed to ride a horse to arrive at the plaza where he felt the most condense of mana. Because of the barrier surrounding it as a precaution made it impossible to use any teleportation scroll.
He can't teleport directly to the palace because of the barrier that was put up to the whole place. While he tries to contact them, no one seems to answer because of how busy they've become as the attack was too unprecedented and the plaza has more civilians that are needed to safely evacuate.
"Why the hell did they put mana restrictions now!"
Cabel was more frustrated than ever. He can sense as he gets closer that the mana surrounding the capital was different to a normal mana user like him.
