Capturing the Male Lead: Red String System

ARC 3.8: CHILD OF LIGHT

"Let's enter the palace now." Auris stated.

Zachariah nodded and guided Auris to the main palace. As they carefully approach the back of the palace, Auris's system sends a notification.

[Master! It's a dark magician! There's a dark magician protecting the book!]

How strong is the dark magician?

[Stronger than the demon emperor.]

How strong are you, Kuai?

[If the system took over the master's body and fought with the dark magician, it would die but the master's soul power would deteriorate.]

Can I still recover?

[In this world, the master's soul power wouldn't. But after going back to space, the master can recover his soul power.]

Understand. If we get caught, take over my body and fight with it.

[Yes, master.]

Auris and Zachariah entered the hidden path and arrived at Zachariah's room. Auris didn't bother to scrutinize the room. They left the room as soon as they arrived there. After a while, the two of them are hiding their presence as they hide from the knights guarding the royal library.

"Do you know how we could enter?" Auris whispered.

"There's a five minute loophole when the knights are changing shift. We could enter the library then." Zachariah seriously answered.

Auris nodded as they waited for the knights to leave. Although Zachariah could enter the royal library, Auris couldn't because the candidates are not supposed to enter the main palace.

When the knights leave their posts, Auris and Zachariah look at each other as they quietly walk towards the door of the royal library.

Auris saw Zachariah stopping and awkwardly staring at him.

Auris raises his eyebrows at him and asks, "Why are you stopping? We're gonna get caught if you don't move faster!"

With a stiff smile, Zachariah answered, "There's an incantation."

"What type?" Auris asked with a frown.

"Dark magic."

Auris looks carefully at the incantation at the door, after noticing the incantation is something he couldn't bypass, Auris calls out his system.

Kuai, do you know how to remove this?

[There's two options. The Master can use his light magic to open it. Or, Prince Zachariah can use his authority to open it.]

Authority?

[Well, his authority as the crown prince.]

Auris facepalmed when he heard that. If they use Zachariah's authority, they'll surely get caught!

Forget about that! Then how can I remove it using my light element?

[Just like healing, pour your energy into the medium to weaken the seal. But I want to warn you, to remove a seal made by a dark magician, you need to use your purest light magic or it might backfire to you.]

Purest? How pure is my light magic right now?

[95%]

Even if I'm the child of the Goddess of Light!?

[It's not impossible to use 100%, master. Although it might wear you out because you're not that proficient to use the purest light energy, you'll need to concentrate to wield it.]
