The moment the darkness of the [Lord's Domain] settled completely around them, Emilia felt it: she couldn't cast her spells.
She instinctively lifted her scepter and tried to gather mana like she always did.
Divine Beam! Spectral Flames!
Nothing happened. No warmth formed at the tip of her weapon.
It was as if someone had cut an invisible thread that linked her to the world itself.
She tried again, forcing more focus. Still nothing.
Her mana was there inside her body, but she could not draw it out. It felt sealed.
Leon watched her reaction from the corner of his eye and immediately understood what was happening.
'This is the complete opposite of the [Trace of Magic Chamber],' he thought with a faint grin. 'Instead of cutting off strength, this guy is cutting off magic.'
It was a terrifying ability. Any mage who entered this domain would instantly become useless.
Emilia, who relied heavily on magic for offense, had just lost most of her power in a single moment.
