Treasury

After Vale shattered the capital's barrier with his dragon form, he used his Transformation Art again; this time, he morphed into an ordinary citizen who had sneaked into the city with his Presence Shift Spell.

He dashed towards the palace, and with his Rune Analysis Spell and Presence Shift Spell, he dodged any kind of Rune Traps.

Well, he could easily decipher how these Runes worked with such a spell in his arsenal.

Furthermore, he didn't want to use his brute force since his presence would be exposed, which was something he avoided.

As he kept doing this for a few more minutes, he finally reached the Treasury's gate. It was guarded by two guards, but he chose to knock them out by choking them with his Darkness Manipulation Spell.

His Rune Analysis Spell noticed that once their hearts stopped beating, a strange Magic Circle would activate.

He had no idea what Magic Circle it was, so it was better to avoid it.

'This gate…'
