Master Sylvia suddenly stopped walking as she said 

"I don't know." 

"What?" John asked 

Without saying anything else, Master Sylvia continued to walk. They were right outside of the mansion and were heading to their carriage, Other nobles could be seen heading home too. 

Some crying, some traumatised, others in rage. They seemed to be complaining to the royal knights who were late to party. 

The sun had set it was dark out, the entire garden and area around the mansion was lit up by a strong light 

The one who was taking most of the complaints, was the same guy from before. The one who John assumed to be the leader. 

But while all of this happened, John felt as if time had stopped. He wasn't interested in it nor did he care to check. 

The only things which he could think of was the words his Master had just told him. 

[I don't know?] 

"O-Oi... Ma-master... You're joke- joking right...?" John asked 

His voice broke in between the sentence and he himself didn't know what to say. There was no way anything bad would happen to Serena, or so he believed. 

[It's Serena after all... She knows how to take care of herself. There's no way anything bad would happen to her... I get it... Master's playing a joke right now... Aren't you master?] 

Master continued to walk without saying anything. 

"Master... Oi... Master! Why aren't you saying anything...?" John asked 

Master suddenly stopped before turning her head to the side. 

"She was kidnapped." 

The moment John heard that, he hung his head. 

As Master Sylvia began walking again, with his head still hung, john asked. 

"Where were you?" 

There was no reply, the only sound which could be heard were the sound of footsteps. 

"Where's Ariel, Lydia and the kids?" 

John had hidden them, but he wasn't sure if Master Sylvia would find them. If they woke up, they'd be able to be able to get out of their spots. 

"In the carriage." 

"Then, where were you when everyone was under attack?" John asked 

Master Sylvia stopped walking before letting John stand on his two feet. 

"Where were you?" Master Sylvia asked 

"I was- I was... I..." 

John stared at the ground below him and stared at his own shadow as he replied 

"I couldn't control it... I-" 

John was interrupted by Master who said 

"Don't question where others were, when you slowed others down yourself." 

She then continued to walk in the direction she was originally heading. 

John clenched his fists, not because of how Master sylvia hadn't appeared to save them, but because of how right she was. 

He did nothing, he couldn't do nothing, despite all his training, he still ended up being useless when it counted the most. 

Blood began to drip to the ground as John continued to clench his fist. He was tightening his hand with every passing second. 

"De... Depre..." 

Without finish, John cast 'levite' on himself before propelling himself straight up to the air. 

"Velox." 

Like an air cannon, he flew straight up into the air. As the wind pressure hit on to his face, he looked down and noticed that there were a few who had their eyes on him. 

Some started pointing at the sky, but he didn't care anymore. 

He couldn't see anything which showed signs of Serena anywhere. As he looked at the duke's mansion, his eyes widened. 

Over a third of it, had been removed, almost as if a giant finger had just come out of the sky and scr.a.p.ed away at it. 

"Serena had to deal with all of that, alone...?" John asked 

He was afraid of checking, but it was his last his hope. 

[Deprehendre] 

He pinpointed it to Serena's magic trace, and got nothing. 

"Deprehendre." 

Once again, there was nothing 

"Deprehendre." 

"Deprehendre, Deprehendre, Dreprehendre... Drepre... Damn it..." 

His eyes started to tear up as he continuously failed to track her. 

"Work, damn it..." He muttered as slammed his hand on his leg. 

*Clap* 

As he did so, the sound of a clap could be heard, and in that moment, he gained another idea. That idea was the only thing which was keeping him sane for the moment 

[Amplificare] Translation: Amplify 

With the use of magic, John created a small field in front of his mouth where all vibrations which passed through it, would be amplified 

"Highest output..." John muttered 

John took in a deep breath as he wiped the tears from his eye before shouting 

"SERENA!!!!!!!!!!" 

The sound resounded through the mansion's property all the way to the city. 

Everyone could hear it as John took another deep breath before shouting again. 

"SERENA!!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!" 

A few windows in the mansion broke from all the pressure and people beneath him covered their ears due to how loud it was. 

John shouted a third time, before waiting for a moment. 

A minute passed, and then another and on the third, John could feel his patience past his limit. 

The clouds around him began to darken as his hair turned pitch black. Rain began to fall as a dark air surrounded him. 

Thunder began to strike around the area, as the clouds and rain reached the city. 

Meanwhile, John stood directly underneath it, completely unbothered as thunder struck by the area right next to him. 

He raised his head, his eyes clouded in darkness as he put on an emotionless expression 

"I'll find you... No matter how long it takes... Knowing you, you'll be fine. Just wait for me, Serena." 

John then looked at the mansion which had been partly destroyed before saying. 

"That boy... I'll kill him myself." 

Dark lightning began to pass through John's body as he activated 'Tenebris Fulgurationem' On top of that, a clock was formed in front of him. 

[Modero] Translation: Slow down 

*Tic* *Toc* 

Time slowed down before John disappeared.
