Lith was falling freely. His hair went against gravity and with each passing second, Ren's life could be seen slipping away as he howled loudly in Lith's arms.

The crowd of commoners and nobles that were fighting were able to hear Ren's howls. Looking up, they could see someone inching towards them and momentarily, the clash stopped as everyone gazed up.

They all wondered whose side this newcomer was.

Flying was prohibited in the city center but nobles could be an exception to this rule. This made the commoners think the coming party was in the opposite faction.

However, the nobles on the ground were confused. They knew no new reinforcement was coming as almost all the barons were here in the clash. So they wondered who this person was.

The indecisiveness of the people on the ground didn't last for long as they shoved aside their confusion and went back to fighting.

Their thought process was that they'll know whose side the party was once he lands, so they didn't bother too much with it.

Lith, who was falling freely with his feet facing the crowd, suddenly flipped upside-down and charged head-on.

Noticing that the person from above had no plans of stopping, the crowd below went into a turmoil and yelled at each other to get away from the area of impact.

Just as Lith was ten meters away from hitting the ground, he extended his hand out and pointed his index finger down.

As soon as Lith's index finger touched the ground, his eyes turned serious and he said,

"Stop."

Immediately, the whole Lisbel Square turned silent as the people froze in their respective places.

With everyone having stopped, Lith got onto his feet and went to the middle of everyone.

He took a spear out of his space ring and swirling it in the air, stabbed the ground with it and said softly,

"Search."

Lith's spiritual power exploded from within and spread out, flowing through each and everyone that was frozen.

His eyes turned red from their usual purple and in his vision, everything turned dark.

But soon, Lith saw a few flickering red lights and as he focused onto them, the flickers took the form of a man.

Many such shapes were formed and focusing solely on them, the dark background started to fade while the red flickers stayed.

Lith's red eye color started changing to it's usual purple as well but stopped halfway through.

Lith walked towards the people that had the red flickers within them and one by one, took them out of the crowd and threw them in a separate space that he made via magic.

Once everything was over, Lith's eyes reverted to their original color.

He then had a good look at the crowd and after analysing their faces for a good few minutes, snapped his finger and vanished from his spot.

Time that was stopped by Lith started running once again and the people that were fighting, resumed fighting as if nothing had happened.

Leaving them alone, Lith went back to Alea.

As soon as he reached, Alea jumped on Lith's back and said in surprise,

"Woooooow! What did you there, little cousin!?"

She hadn't seen such a thing before and was very much surprised.

"Well before I answer you, let's go the castle." Lith replied.

"Why?" Alea asked.

Lith chuckled and pointing towards Ren in his arms, said, "This guy is probably dead. I need to revive him."

More surprise could be seen on Alea's face as she heard that. She immediately turn to look at Ren, only to see him lying in Lith's arms as if he was dead.

"He died!?" She exclaimed.

Lith chuckled again. "Who knows? Let's go to the castle first."

Ren of course wasn't dead. He just passed out when Lith flipped upside-down before and was about to crash on the ground.

He was an innocent puppy who wasn't used to such things. These adventures were a bit too much for the golden retriever.

Reaching the castle, Lith strolled with Alea in the hallways and explained the things he had done.

He firstly used Time and Space spells to stop time all around Lisbel Square.

Once that happened, he picked a few suspicious people from there and got out.

That's about it, there was nothing else.

Alea pouted hearing all of that and hitting Lith's sides softly, said, "little cousin, I know that much. I can clearly see it. Explain in detail what you did."

She wanted to know the mechanisms that Lith used to make those spells.

"Oh." Lith realized he only just gave her the bare minimum. It seemed Alea wanted to know the mechanisms that went behind the spells and everything.

He cleared his throat and continued with his explanation as Alea asked for more.

Firstly, Lith used the entry level Time Stop spell and mixed it with various different kinds of Space spells.

Space spells were complicated to use as their application ranged from a small dot in space to infinity and beyond.

While falling down, Lith was chanting and making the Time Stop spell spread everywhere in the space he wanted their effects to be applied.

This meant the whole of Lisbel Square. He had to do it inch by inch but due to his tremendous mental capacity, it didn't take too long and was done in just a few seconds.

Once Time Stop was spread everywhere, Lith had to make it active. He did that by chanting the activation method in his mind and once he was down at the ground level, he imbued energy within his words and said 'stop' in the ancient vampire language.

Ancient Vampire Language was immensely powerful, but if even a single syllable was misspelt, the head of the person speaking would explode.

But, Lith was pretty fluent in it and being the son of the strongest Vampire, such effects were minuscule on his body.

Once Lith explained this much to Alea, she asked him to explain the things he did to get the suspicious people.

Lith thought for a second whether he should say his secrets or not, but then felt it was alright to say a few things and continued in with his explanation.

Lith explained that he had innate powers and was just using those. He could feel the aura of people and due to that, he could tell if someone was in a disguise or hiding their true identity.

There was more to things than what Lith answered Alea. Not only could Lith catch their disguise, he could also study their magic rank, body's physical traits, and so on.

Despite wearing clothes, the person's whole being would be stripped in front of Lith's eyes.

Using that ability, Lith found that there were a few humans in the mix of elves and took them out.

He also found a few elves who were probably collaborating with the humans and took them for questioning as well.

Alea was surprised to know that there were humans here, but then she let go of the topic as she wasn't interested in conflict, but only the mechanisms of magic.

Lith talked with Alea for the next half an hour and once she was satisfied, went to an empty courtyard and brought the most suspicious person among all from his separate space.

He extended his hand to the side and out of thin air, pulled the guy out by holding his collar and threw him on the ground.

The guy was shocked to find himself he somewhere else but before he could say or do anything, Lith was right in front of him.

Lith looked down at the guy from above and held his head in his palm.

With calmness in his eyes, he said, "Extraction."

"AHHHHHHH!"

The guy shouted so loudly that Ren, who was sleeping on Lith's shoulder, woke up in alarm.

When brought to the castle, Lith changed Ren's state from being passed out to being sleepy and put him on his shoulder to let him sleep.

Lith looked at the alarmed Ren and said with a chuckle, "go back to sleep. There's nothing here."

He focused back on the guy and closed his eyes, trying to establish a connection with his consciousness.

Soon, the guy stopped shouting and zoned out as his consciousness got invaded by Lith.

In a few seconds, Lith was in the guy's mind and rummaged through his memories.

It hadn't even been a second since Lith broke inside, when he heard a screech, cursing:

"WHO DARES!?"
