[Seraphine's POV] This war is not the first war I've faced while pregnant. It's also not my first life-and-death struggle. Countless times, I've come close to death, surviving attacks from mysterious Alphas, Omegas, and creatures of unknown origin. I'm not afraid of them, though. But the war I'm facing now is different. It's not just about the existence of the ten mysterious Alphas who have surrounded Cassian so skillfully; it's the first war Dorian Phoenix has planned since I exposed his identity. Ever since Jesse mentioned the name Dorian Phoenix, I've felt his presence drawing nearer to me. I'm certain that this war the Maximilian Kingdom is facing is part of Dorian Phoenix's plan to prevent me from meeting Cassian. Or perhaps, he already knew I would come here and is luring me in. ‘He might kill me if he finds out I have the power to see the future. And the fact that he's still letting me live up to this point is because he doesn't know anything about my identity,’ I think to

[Seraphine's POV] "Cassian!" After steeling my resolve, I began my struggle to save Cassian from the terrible illusion he was facing. I didn't rush foolishly into the midst of this battlefield without thinking. Instead, I called out his name loudly. I intentionally employed this crazy technique to get the attention of the ten Alphas surrounding him to some extent. My task here was to divide the roles. Five Alphas for Cassian to defeat, and five others for me to dominate with my powers. But before that, I had to bring Cassian's consciousness back so I could communicate with him using telepathy. "Cassian!" I shouted again, hoping that this time my voice could break his focus. Repeatedly shouting didn't work, and it seemed to backfire on me. My loud voice attracted the attention of the Alpha warriors engaged in battle against the Maximilian kingdom's warriors, but it didn't divert their attention from Cassian. "Hey, isn't that the Omega's voice?" "You're not wrong. It seems there's

[Seraphine's POV] ‘And what about you?’ Cassian responded to my warning. Even though we were quite far apart, and I couldn't know what he was thinking right now, I could still guess his current reaction. Cassian might still be suspicious of me, given my secretive history with him. Hearing my seemingly suspicious plan, Cassian might view me as someone who is also planning something behind his back. He might still fear that I might run away from him once again. ‘I will focus my time control on the five Alphas I manipulate,’ I replied. ‘Then, after you defeat the other five Alphas, I will help you defeat the five alphas within my control. But before that time comes, I want you to win your own battle, Cassian. Maybe I can give you some guidance here and there. But you need to remember, I can't fully support you when my power is focused on the other five alphas.’ I said what I needed to say to him before Cassian started the battle. Fortunately, the tree I was hiding in provided me wi

[Seraphine's POV] I was on the brink of death, almost killed, all because I had forgotten the essence of our plan. True to its name, the Thunder Maze was indeed a labyrinth possessed by the Thunder God, and it was the ultimate weapon to defeat anyone trapped inside. The labyrinth I beheld still resembled an ordinary black maze, as if it had emerged from the depths of the earth. After a considerable time, the air around me suddenly grew calm, signaling the onset of the second round. The crimson moon in the sky grew larger with each passing moment. Its light was deep red and thick, as if it were about to spew forth a sea of blood. When I looked up, I saw the moon drawing closer, as if it were on the verge of touching the maze's tower. /Boom!/ The thunder responded once more from that red moon, making me wonder if the Thunder God would descend from there. /Crack!/ And what I had assumed seemed to become reality. The crimson moon, descending gradually to Earth, had a purpose. This m

[Seraphine's Perspective]The awaited response continued to elude me. The fake Jesse before me remained steadfast in wearing that nauseating smile on his face.His gaze made me feel uncomfortable, as if he were scrutinizing me with such detail, almost as if he were undressing me with his face concealed behind a mask of false friendliness.Curiosity surged within me with each passing second we spent together. The sense of unease grew along with the buried desire to swiftly locate Cassian's current whereabouts.The only shortcut I could fathom was one: I had to harness my powers against this impostor Jesse. Be it brainwashing, hypnotism, or memory manipulation, I had to attempt it.[You cannot exert any influence over him]my bloodstream seemed to plummet to its lowest point, an unprecedented sensation.What I was endeavoring hadn't reached its zenith, and I was merely striving to establish a connection between my magic and the magic of this counterfeit Jesse so that I could do somethin
