In the center of the city, there is often a department guarding a system, and in the iconic tower of the imperial capital, there is such a system - Horus's Dawn. This system originated from The Divine Realm and was created by Horus, symbolizing the protection of royal authority. Within its coverage, it assigns levels to the magical powers used in Magic. When the magical power exceeds a certain value, it is considered a Magic crime. The original system would automatically punish those who commit Magic crimes. However, due to the passage of time and the ravages of war, this function no longer exists. Since the war between gods and demons and the death of Horus, no one can restore this skill. The modern Horus's Dawn only measures the level and is then handled by the government.
Ten years later, the system is still running. In Zhanlan City, the Situ family does not care, while in Gu Island, it's because the father is deliberately causing trouble and the guardians have a sadistic nature!
"Report to the commander, high-level magic has appeared in the northwest suburban area, with a danger level of S!"
"S level?" The chair spun, and the pipe emitted thin smoke. This was a chubby middle-aged man with a lazy appearance, enjoying the pleasure of smoking a pipe.
"Yes, commander. How should we handle it?"
"S level can only be seen on the battlefield. There is no good reason for it to appear in the suburbs of a big city. Let me think about it!" The chubby man tapped his head, deeply contemplating. "Ah, right! Isn't there a recent kidnapping case? Duke Qin is investigating it. Inform Duke Qin to go and see what's going on. That way, we can save ourselves the trouble!"
"Is that... alright?"
"Idiot! Let Duke Qin go. With his abilities, he can handle this easily. Do you want us to go to the suburbs and fight with them, then capture and interrogate them?" The chubby man harshly knocked on the subordinate's head.
"But, Commander, this is our job!"
"Use your brain. This way, we fulfill our responsibility without working so hard. And if the Duke can find any clue, it's a win-win situation. Learn something, you newcomers. Take care of what needs to be taken care of and turn a blind eye to those that don't."
"Yes, understood, commander!"
These guardians are like this, dragging their feet and trying to save effort. The intelligence is never on time, so Magic battles have never been effectively controlled.
The chubby man took a deep puff of his cigar, continuing to enjoy the hazy feeling. "Also, don't rush. Test the values a few more times to ensure accuracy before going. Providing false information is troublesome!"
The officer who reported had only been here for a few days, hoping to do something, but seeing his superior's indifferent attitude, his fiery ambition was instantly extinguished.

It wasn't until later that I realized the place we were hiding was an abandoned warehouse in the harbor. Within that hour, nobody was under rational control, and all emotions had turned into anger. My eyes were no longer pitch black, but blood-red, instilling endless fear and trembling in anyone who dared to meet my gaze.
My throat was dry, yearning for something to drink.
A six-year-old child seemed like a bloodthirsty vampire, as a single movement turned the subordinate demon in front of me into ashes, and another movement shattered the restraints on Magic like glass.
Lena watched everything that happened and ended from the most hidden corner of the warehouse, relying on her superior reflexes.
For six years, the holy and beautiful image of my mother was destroyed in an instant by this man, like a crumbling figure of faith. What remained was the ugly truth, deeply stimulating my heart, completely liberating the self that had never been discovered. In this moment, I had nothing, and I didn't want to possess anything, or even see anything worth possessing.
"This kind of flame actually appears in the child from The Human Realm. Why?" The red-haired man looked at the flickering flame, deeply puzzled.
"Because it is inherited, inherited from his father's flame!"
"Are you saying that Qin Feng also possesses the Flame of the Heavenly Demon? In other words, the Qin family from The Human Realm has intermarried with the Demon race; otherwise, the Flame of the Heavenly Demon would not appear in The Human Realm! The Flame of the Heavenly Demon is a disaster to the gods, humans, and demons. Duke Qin, worthy of being Duke Qin, has actually hidden it for so long.""The legend of the demon fire says that it will destroy all order. In order to prevent them from falling into a predicament, you will not be able to leave alive today!"
"You dare to threaten me, you wretched woman!" The man with red hair forcefully squeezed his mother's neck.
"Cough cough ~~~~ cough cough ~~~~ I am not the one threatening you. This situation was never something you could choose!"
"Ah!" I screamed frantically as a sea of fire surged, engulfing the man with red hair.
The man with red hair spread his pitch-black wings, and the scattered feathers were consumed by the demon fire.
In my field of vision, the man with red hair had disappeared, but my intuition told me that he was nearby.
The warehouse was in chaos. Where could the man with red hair be? His blood-red eyes rolled eerily.
No one can escape. That was the only thought in my mind. Everything in my sight was not allowed to survive.
Flames gathered in my right fist. The small fist was enveloped in dark red flames. The muscles in my face twitched slightly as I attacked the figure behind me with my fist transformed into an eagle's claw.
The red-haired head was painfully pulled out from the shadow. His red eyes widened, his face twisted in agony. His limbs struggled continuously, but after touching the demon, it was a piercing pain for him. He wanted to scream, but he could no longer feel the connection between his head and neck.
"Crack!" I tore apart one of the red-haired wings with my left hand, licking the flowing blood with my tongue. It was a joyless feeling. Am I really a vampire? No, Bai Qin Yang once said in a later conversation that my liking for blood is not because I need it. It's just a bad habit I had in the past. Not drinking blood would not have any impact on me. Drinking blood is just a way for me to feel happy. After drinking blood, I become extremely excited and frenzied.
"Gahaha!" The sound of maniacal laughter echoed throughout the warehouse. The flames grew hotter, and the moonlight seemed to be infected, appearing even brighter red!
