"Get some new ones."

He donned the invisibility cloak again and walked out of the temporary laboratory built with numerous magic spells, briskly passing by the wandering magicians, even having the leisure to appreciate the scenery of Celia.

Edgar chose a piece of luminous stone with good quality and began cutting it. Even the magic for cutting was endowed with invisibility effects, everything proceeded in secret without anyone noticing, not even a magician passing by him detected anything.

He felt quite pleased about it, even somewhat smug, making faces at the passing magicians.

But just then, he suddenly heard some faint voices.

"Hmm?"

He looked around, and behind the luminous stones, he saw a white spiritual body kneeling on the ground, which immediately eased his tension.

So it’s just a white spiritual body that repeats things, I thought a magician had discovered me.

The white spiritual body was muttering something, and Edgar leaned closer out of curiosity to listen.

"Please spare me, why have I become your target, oh assassins..."

The spiritual body’s voice carried despair.

"Celia’s assassins, why do you extend your blades towards a fellow magician like me..."

Celia’s assassins?

Edgar suddenly felt an eerie sensation, instinctively looking around, but there was nothing besides the seemingly clueless magicians.

"Am I overthinking this?"

He breathed a sigh of relief and headed towards the laboratory, pondering over what exactly Celia’s assassins were, but then saw a broken stone tablet on the ground, with an automatically translated magic rune lighting up on it.

[It is said that Celia’s magicians are assassins, and their targets are their fellow magicians, which is the birthplace of the Black Night Comet]

"What is all this?"

The feeling of unease grew a little, making him disregard teasing the passing magicians and hurriedly return to the laboratory.

But as soon as he arrived there, his breath involuntarily stopped.

A staggering magician was standing at his laboratory!

"How is this possible?" he said in disbelief, "I clearly arranged an invisibility barrier and dispelling magic hints, how did someone still get in?"

It was just an unarmed magician, but recalling the Celia’s assassins he saw earlier, Edgar suddenly felt pressured and shot out a fireball from a great distance, blasting the magician into pieces.

He was momentarily stunned, then chuckled.

"Hehehe, turns out it really was an accidental intrusion, I’m just scaring myself."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, chuckled awkwardly, and raised his leg to clean up the magician’s remains.

"Ugh..." A groaning sound like an animated corpse suddenly echoed behind him.

"Ah!"

Edgar jumped in surprise, turned around, and saw another unarmed magician appearing behind him.

"What’s going on..." His face looked a bit grim "Is my barrier magic ineffective against them?"

He pulled out a short sword, intending to give the other a swift end, he was still in invisibility status, and the other hadn’t noticed him at all.

"Die!"

Yet the short sword missed.

"Eh?"

Edgar stumbled a bit, the magician disappeared into thin air in front of him?

No!

He quickly turned around and saw the magician appearing behind him again, still with that staggering, one-touch collapse look.

"!"

Even a fool should sense something was wrong by now, he immediately distanced himself from the magician, firing a rapid fireball.

However, the magician he targeted suddenly stopped wobbling and slowly lifted his head.

Showing him an eerie smile.

"Boom!"

The fireball exploded, thick smoke rose, nobody knew if it hit, but Edgar didn’t care, he rushed out of this temporary laboratory.

However, waiting for him outside the laboratory was a large group of staggering magicians.

His steps halted, and his body gradually stiffened.

The magicians blocked his only way out, and their gazes were fixed on him.

"I, I’m clearly wearing the invisibility cloak, right?" Edgar looked somewhat dumbfounded, touching the cloak, the invisibility effect was clearly still active.

Then, why could these magicians suddenly see him?

Facing his puzzled gaze, the magicians pulled out magic wands with one hand, and in the other hand, held daggers purely designed for assassination!

They completely lost the animated corpse-like sluggishness, and their movements instantly became terrifyingly agile, even able to cling to walls like spiders.

A swarm of "Celia’s assassins" pounced on Edgar, leaving no escape.

While behind him, the earlier magician hit by the fireball, no wait, wasn’t hit at all, also grinned and charged over.

"Don’t come near me, ah!"

...

"Later, I went to Celia several more times, each time casting stronger invisibility magic on myself, but each time I was seen through."

"Since then, I’ve known that all those magicians are so-called assassins, in the eyes of those adept in invisibility, my invisibility magic is ineffective."

"They saw through me from the very beginning, but didn’t expose me, which is using me for..."

Edgar gritted his teeth and said with a twisted expression:

"Using me for their amusement!"

Before Uffie and the others could comfort him, he let out a breath of stale air and muttered to himself:

"I really do hate Sain Dungeon."
