"I don\'t have the face to apologize to you but my heart would feel too heavy if I don\'t say it. I am sorry that I came too late." Luke offered a heartfelt apology hoping that she would understand the concern he had for her current situation.

…

Nelson had already escaped Clara\'s clutches by taking advantage of her gullible personality but Luke had managed to secure Violet before anything worse could have happened to her.

Jack on the other hand was not faring so good. He was being chased by two monsters each more difficult to handle than the other. Christina specifically was making his attempt to escape a living hell. She was so fast that he wasn\'t able to create a distance between him and his pursuers. 

Without any room to breathe, Jack was like a trapped beast being slowly driven into the corner by the combined assault of Christina and Zach. No matter which direction he chose to escape into, Christina and Zach were able to find him in mere minutes.

Unknown to him, Zach had already employed his drones to target Jack in order to not let him escape their hands. If not for the help that he received from the drones, Jack might really have been able to escape the moment he activated his magic on top of the hill.

Like a cornered beast, Jack struggled to the best of his abilities but the years he had spent in the prison had degraded his actual ability. Despite being at the top of A rank, his actual prowess at the moment was barely A rank. Moreover, the depletion of the magic power in his body had caused all his abilities to weaken. He needed to take some time to recover before he could cast more powerful spells to save his skin. But that was only possible if he could somehow shake off his pursuers.

His opponent on the other hand seemed to be a mage who was at the top of A rank and was young enough to be called a genius in any place, even the capital of the empire. While she was at her peak, he couldn\'t even muster the totality of his degraded strength due to the lack of practice and mana at the moment. The girl was not only an experienced fighter but also an equally accomplished mage capable of pressuring him without putting in much effort. 

Moreover, her partner was so cunning that he was able to cut off all of Jack\'s escape routes whenever he tried to make a move.  I think you should take a look at

However, he was unwilling to give up after all that effort he had put in after coming out of that hellish place. As such, using the ambient air he already had in his control, he pushed out with all the force he could muster. The dust in the vicinity and the falling leaves from the trees became the camouflage for him as he snuck out in the middle of all the confusion.

While Zach\'s drones couldn\'t catch wind of the escaping Jack due to the screen he had put up, Christina wasn\'t fooled. Her senses were completely locked on Jack as she kept a track of his mana to judge his location.

Another failed attempt caused Jack\'s face to darken and his brows to furrow in worry as he contemplated the remaining options he had left.

In the end, there was nothing more effective than facing his enemies head on. He needed to use the weaker link in the opponents in order to deal a powerful blow before making his escape. Otherwise, the two enemies would keep on chasing after him like they had been until then.

Determining the weaker of the two wasn\'t even a choice for him. There was no way that the man was more powerful compared to the woman who had been pestering him for so long. In his opinion, the man was most probably a tracker that the woman had brought with her to chase after him.

Therefore, without wasting any more time, he conjured up a small storm that occupied less area as compared to before but the strength condensed in it was enough to blow a grown man off into the distance. Jack meant to repel Zach with the help of the strong gust so as to create an opening for his escape.

Unfortunately for him, Zach wasn\'t the soft persimmon he had imagined him to be.

Reaching into the Weapons Arsenal, Zach pulled out the lightsaber and injected his force into the hilt which made the lightsaber glow with murderous red light. He didn\'t even think before cutting off the wind blades in that windstorm. The plasma had reached such a high temperature that it even scorched the air around it. Jack\'s magic fell apart as soon as Zach cut it with the lightsaber in his hand.

Jack had never seen a swordsman who could cut apart magic like the man in front of him had. He could not even sense the wind element around that strange sword he was wielding. It was as if the sword was creating a vacuum around it.

His sense of danger tingled and he chose to believe the keen instinct he had developed over the years. He assigned a danger tag to Zach based on the few interactions with him. He was obviously a dangerous but low-key character who was bound to give him even more trouble than that woman earlier.
