Sliding opening the wooden door, Julia and Zak walked inside the traditional Japanese fashioned room. Sitting on the ground, a man with long blue hair was carefully drawing runes on a Peak 3-star Bow.

The old Vampire Tobias was sitting opposite Aditya and observing him. From time to time, he would correct the mistakes that Aditya made. When the future queen and her little brother entered, Tobias nodded at them and then signaled them to sit near him.

Julia and Zak sat 3 meters away from Aditya. He was so focused on drawing runs that he did not even notice it when Julia and Zak arrived. It was like he was immersed in his own little world.

He was holding a golden color pen that had a large and long tip. The pen was made from a special raze material. This pen is used for drawing runes on any weapon or armor or artifact.

The golden bow was on his thighs. He was carefully drawing small runes on the lower limb of the golden bow. Compared to a few days, his movement now was very fluid and rapid. Over the few days of continuous practice, Aditya’s drawing speed has tremendously increased.

Each of his strokes looked very elegant. Watching this scene Julia and Zak for some reason started to feel very calm and relaxed. All the worries and nervousness that Julia previously had seemed to have instantly disappeared. Her mind started feeling peaceful. Julia and Zak felt they could keep looking for hours.

Seeing how beautifully Aditya drew runes on the bow, Julia felt dazed. His movement was flexible and filled with elegance. Added to how focused he was when drawing runes, at this moment Aditya looked very handsome.

Just like Julia and Zak, the old man Tobias was also dazed watching Aditya draw runes. Watching this boy draw runes, Tobias had a proud face. Compared to a few ago when he started, Aditya had improved tremendously. As his teacher, the old vampire felt very proud.

Around 9 minutes later, Aditya finally was done drawing one of the 3-star spells. Under Tobias, Aditya learned that he can modify each spell and combine multiple spells when drawing runes. At this moment he had just finished drawing a 3-star rune spell that will increase the damage of normal arrow shots by [30%].

After finishing drawing the first spell, he wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead as he sighed in relief. When drawing runes, he had to be extremely careful. Even a small mistake could end up resulting in an error. Sometimes a small mistake could end up potentially ruining the weapon or armor.

“Aditya that’s enough for now. You can take a rest.” Aditya put the golden pen down and looked at Tobias. Before this old man was hell-bent on teaching him everything before the dungeon was born but now he was asking him to rest.

It has been 3 days since the mana vortex appeared. After those 3 days, now the size of the mana vortex has become 211.7 meters. With the increase in size, the mana suction force of the vortex also increased tremendously. At this point, one can see the Mana vortex even from 20 km away.

Now whoever goes 15 km near the mana vortex will instantly die from the tremendous pressure of the mana near the mana vortex. Several 2-order soldiers like this. A powerful gust of winds was constantly blowing toward the west, in the direction of the mana vortex.

During these 3 days, the rain and the storm never stopped. The rain only continued to get stronger and stronger. The rain already had drowned the farming lands in the water. The people who lived near the river had to move away because of the flood. According to the report, several towns that were built in valleys were flooded with water. The situation was only getting worse. Even though the Empire has dispatched several thousand soldiers to help the normal people, the situation only continues to get worse with the increase in death rates.

Now with the increase in size, Adam and everyone was worried about another thing. If the mana vortex consciously increases in size like this, in a day or so, this city will become uninhabitable. The dense mana pressure will reach the city and will instantly crush all the normal people and the 1st order cultivators.

Now Adam and everyone was praying that the Mana vortex will stop sucking mana from the atmosphere.

During these 3 days, an army of 600,000 thousand came to Apogale city. More troops are on their way. The King has sent food supplies, healing potions, and mana stones to help Adam. One by one along with the huge army, the nobles of the Empire were also coming to join the battle.

All the soldiers were made to set up tents outside the city while the nobles were allowed to stay in luxurious inns. Adam did not invite the low-rank nobles to his house. Normally he would have let the nobles stay in his castle since 80% of the castle was destroyed, and he did not have enough rooms for everyone. Also letting the nobles stay in his castle would mean that he would also have to sacrifice his and his family’s privacy.

At that same time, Adam also allowed ordinary people to escape the city. When the battle starts even he is not sure if he will be able to keep the citizen of this city safe. A huge number of people left the city, making the whole Apogale city empty.

Meanwhile, Julia and Paige spent their whole days making all kinds of healing potions, mana recovery potions, life-saving potions, body strengthening potions, etc. Since both Paige and Julia was alchemist, they wanted to contribute with potions. Adam also allowed them to use all the reserved alchemy ingredients to make potions.

During these 3 days, Aditya did not sleep even for a second. He was only allowed to stop if he needed to go to the washroom or if he needed to eat. The old man Tobias left Aditya with no room for discussion. But Aditya has to admit that drawing runes seems to make his mind peaceful and make his heart calm.

By now dark circles had appeared under his eyes. His eyes were slightly red. There was a tired look on his face even though he didn’t show his exhausted side to anyone.

“Grandpa, let me finish drawing runes to this bow.” Drawing runes requires continuous use of Mana.

Normally Aditya would have run out of mana in a few hours. But with the black heart, he had a huge amount of mana. Even after 3 sleepless nights of constantly drawing runes, Aditya still had over [100+] mana. The old man knew about this and perfectly took advantage of this.

Even if Aditya did not have this huge pool of mana, the old man would have forced him to drink mana recovery potions and continue with his practice.

“Aditya, don’t push yourself.” This time Tobias raised his voice a little. His words left no room for discussion.

“You’re not a machine. If you do not get enough rest then you won’t be able to fight. Besides, by now you almost have learned everything. As long as you keep practicing and go through the notes that I gave you, you will become a 3-star runemaster.” It was Tobias’ selfish intent to teach Aditya before the fight started. He at least wants Aditya to take proper rest before the fight begins.

“Aditya, Grandpa Tobias is right. You need some rest. Come with me.” Without waiting for Aditya to reply, she pulled his right hand and walked out of the room leaving Tobias and Zak behind.

Sigh!

Aditya opened the system and looked at his progression.

[Rune Monarch class Progression to 3rd order: – 90.1%]

’72 hours of nonstop hard work finally paid off.’ Aditya was a little happy with his progress.

Julia bought Aditya all the way to his bedroom. He hasn’t returned to his bedroom for the last 3 days. Without waiting for him to say anything, she simply pushed him onto the bed.

“Sleep” Julia was then about to leave.

“Where are you going?” Aditya asked back.

“Going back to my room.” Julia also needed some time to rest. She and Paige have been working for 3 days without any breaks.

Just when Julia opened the door to leave, Aditya’s words stopped her. “Can I sleep on your thighs?” Even Aditya is not sure how or why he requested this kind of thing. Maybe he just wanted to feel her warmth before the battle started or maybe he desired to spend some time with her before the battle began.

Whatever the reason was, Julia did not mind. She turned around and looked at Aditya with a hidden blush. She did not say anything. After looking at his eyes for a few seconds, she closed the door.

‘I thought she was seriously going to reject.’ Given Julia’s personality, she normally would have rejected him.

Gulp!

Aditya was slightly nervous and also very excited about being able to lay on her lap. A moment later, Aditya found his head on her lap. He couldn’t describe the emotions he currently felt.

Feeling the warmth of her body, he suddenly began feeling very sleepy. Unable to keep his eyelids open anymore, after closing his eyes, he did not realize when he fell asleep.

“Sleep well.” Even if Julia wanted to, her dad forbade her from joining this battle. She, her mother, and Zak were asked to stay in the castle. If Aditya was in Adam’s place, even he would have done the same thing.

She smiled as she gently stroked his dark blue long hair.

About 15 minutes later, Julia who hasn’t gotten to sleep for 3 days straight also started to feel sleepy. She put Aditya’s head on the pillow and without even realizing she just laid next to him and fell asleep.

About 30 minutes later, Julia’s mother, Sophie came to call Aditya for dinner.

Knock! Knock! 𝓇𝘦𝒶.𝘤𝘰𝑚

“Aditya, dinner is ready.” Seeing Aditya not answering, Sophie opened the door.

Click!

She was stunned to see both Aditya and Julia sleeping on the same bed. She couldn’t help but smile seeing this scene.

“Sleep well. Tomorrow will be a very difficult day for both of you.” Sophie did not disturb them and left after closing the door.
