I, the All-Class Magus, All My Awakening Skills are LvMax

John had used up nearly all his MP to finally break the seals on the chains.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a deep breath, gradually calming himself.

The weakening he was experiencing was severe; a single misstep could mean a grave end.

After carefully removing the chains from his wrists and ankles, John felt a slight relief.

At the same time, he noticed that the debuff on him had changed to a 50% reduction in all attributes.

He looked thoughtfully at the chains lying on the ground.

It seemed that not only these chains were suppressing him, but everything in this secret realm had a stifling effect on them.

He could distinctly feel an uncomfortable force in the air, a power he felt he had encountered before, yet it also felt strangely unfamiliar.

He carefully checked the system map and realized that their captors must be very confident—perhaps due to a drug or something else—because there was no one guarding him directly.

There were only a few hostile red dots outside in the courtyard.

But these red dots were at least twenty to thirty meters away from him.

As long as he was careful, he should be able to avoid detection.

He noticed the nearest blue dot on the map was Leopold.

Without any hesitation, John slipped into the adjacent room, knowing that acting as a group was better than going it alone.

He was also uncertain of the condition of the others; if they were injured or otherwise impaired, they would need immediate help.

He moved his body slightly, disliking the feeling of weakness that enveloped him, as if some force had been forcibly extracted from him.

Calming himself, he headed towards the door, following the map's directions to the room next door.

Leopold was there.

After ensuring there was no one at the door, John pushed it open and entered.

Leopold's situation was exactly like his own: previously chained at both hands and feet and still unconscious, seemingly oppressed by the same forces.

John checked his remaining MP and began to unlock the handcuffs on Leopold's hands.

The leg irons shouldn't be a big problem either.

He took out the Bloodthirsty Blade again and carefully traced along the chains.

After channeling nearly 90% of his MP into the task, he finally freed Leopold from the chains...

John felt a wave of dizziness, a side effect of excessive MP use.

He couldn't help but give a wry smile; it had been a long time since he'd felt so powerless.

After freeing him from the chains, Leopold slowly came to consciousness.

A pained expression crossed his face as he too seemed to be suffering from a severe headache, but his eyes soon fell on John nearby.

"Big brother?"

Leopold tried to reach for John, but winced and clutched his head in pain the next second.

"Don't get too excited just yet. First, take a moment to feel if there's any discomfort elsewhere, and then check if you can access your storage ring," John advised in a lowered voice.

Leopold grimaced as he carefully tuned into his body's sensations, then his eyes widened in horror.

Overwhelmed by the shock, he found himself unable to speak, only managing to shake his head frantically at John.

John instantly understood; the situation was likely the same as his own, exactly as he had imagined.

They were completely suppressed and unable to use items like their storage rings.

"We seem to have been brought into a strange secret realm. We're under a weakening buff, and it looks like our attributes have been reduced by about 50%," John quickly explained everything he knew to Leopold, who stared back with eyes wide in alarm.

Leopold tried to speak, but found his throat painfully dry, unable to utter a word.

He could only grasp John's hand.

"Calm down a bit; we still need to find the others."

Now that Leopold had also entered this secret realm, it was certain that the rest had too.

They had to regroup as quickly as possible to avoid any mishaps.

John glanced at the chains on the ground and eventually stored them in his system backpack.

Although the storage ring was unusable, fortunately, the system backpack still worked.

However, compared to the storage ring, the space in the system backpack was much smaller.

Leopold, fully aware that his storage ring was out of commission, was shocked to see John easily stowing away the chains.

He quickly regained his composure, albeit with a hint of envy.

"Big brother, I'm really envious that you inherited Principal Sophia's secret realm. Even in times like this, you can still store items in there, it's like having an extra-large ring on you at all times."

John didn't bother explaining; after all, too much explanation would be pointless.

Yet, he felt a realization dawning on him from Leopold's comment.

Indeed, owning such a vast secret realm meant that even if he used it as a storage ring on a daily basis, it would be more than sufficient.

He hadn't expected Leopold to be so perceptive, thinking of things he himself hadn't considered!

After getting up and walking a few steps, Leopold nearly collapsed back to the ground.

Although their strength had indeed been reduced by 50%, it shouldn't have weakened him to this extent.

He could barely walk steadily!

Leopold made a concerted effort to control his emotions before following John again.

They cautiously left the room, but this time John noticed that although Archibald's blue dot was nearby, the two girls' blue dots were not within the display range.

This meant that either the girls were being held further away, or they hadn't entered the secret realm.

However, the latter seemed unlikely since both Leopold and Archibald had entered; how could the two girls have escaped?

They needed to find the girls quickly to prevent any real trouble right under their noses—that would be a true embarrassment.

Fortunately, John had previously liked to store some supplies in his system backpack.

He found that his MP recovery was extremely slow in this place.

After drinking several bottles of MP recovery potions, he finally returned to his normal state.

The two stealthily made their way to Archibald's room.

The young man was still soundly asleep, even snoring loudly.

Seeing Archibald sleeping so soundly, Leopold couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He thought that even if the sky fell, this guy probably wouldn't worry a bit.

To be able to sleep so deeply under such circumstances was truly incredible.

Noticing John's pale face, Leopold could guess that it was likely due to the overuse of MP.

He tried to mimic John's method to unlock the shackles but quickly realized he couldn't do it! He had only managed to trace the first pattern before running out of MP!

His gaze towards John changed in that instant.

He always knew his brother was incredibly skilled, but he had never imagined John could be this formidable!

There were twenty to thirty patterns to be traced, and he could barely manage the first one, while John had traced several and could still continue.

This was the real difference between him and John.
