"Remember, your tower master just attained the S-rank after years of hard labour, whereas our master has been in the S-rank for years!" stated another warrior, mockingly."You…" Alfred clenched his fists. He held the magic staff in his palm, the tip of the staff glowing with a red light from inside the jewel. It was like a burning inferno within it, ready to erupt with a scary blazing flame at any time.But eventually, he began to cool down. He would make amends afterwards.The embarrassing incident that occurred months ago would not be forgotten by him. He was harassed by a warhorse in front of a crowd!It could be argued that for a mage like him, it was worse than death. That a common baron had dared to harm a mage like him made him sick to his stomach.Alfred had lived in opulence and nobility ever since it was discovered that he had the potential to become a mage.Even pure-blood nobles would not dare to offend him, but a commoner blood baron dared to disgrace him.He'd never forg
As I watched the carriage travel further into the dune, I collapsed onto a human pillow inside of it.The horses' hooves made a faint thud on the sand.Constantly moving ahead, the carriage drew nearer and nearer to the ravine under the assailants' eyes. Yet, the carriages continued to move forward as though they were on their usual route, seemingly unaware of any danger.The centaurs remained silent as they rode into the night. The shapes of many opponents were already visible in their eyes.All they had to do was wait for the opposition to act.The helmets they were wearing made it impossible to see their facial expressions. Only a small opening in the helmet, which displayed their eyes, and a breathing area around the nose were left.As they approached closer, they tightened their grip on their spears, ready to charge at any moment, or they could draw the sword and even the hammer from their belt and engage in a close battle.They had to take precautions to avoid upsetting the mona
"Don't play games with me, boss." As his eyes flared with lethal brilliance, the knight laughed.With regard to the baron and those two knights, his mask-covered eyes were filled with disdain and scorn. He had no idea that the two knights could harm him, despite the fact that they had materialised out of nowhere.His entire body suddenly burst into a roaring surge of a blazing blue aura. His pace accelerated rapidly. He appeared to avoid the two centaurs "with ease," demonstrating that he was even faster than a warhorse.Suddenly, he was reaching me from all angles.The knight's strategy was simple. To defeat an army, first, the commander must be defeated."Very fast." Amazed, I must say.The knight was a real A-rank knight with a great deal of combat experience, and he moved at an incredibly quick pace.He radiated a bluish aura that caused waves in the sand."Die! Trash!"The knight jumped to his feet and lunged at me with his sword.Despite this, his sword never reached its intende
It's all a misunderstanding, Baron Ethan, I assure you. Even so, the assailant sought to provide an explanation.I disregarded what he said. Even an idiot would see something odd about the circumstances. With such strength, surely a random gang of people in the desert wouldn't linger in the desert merely to rob a carriage?"How did you discover information about my locations?" I inquired.Rui's expression darkened when she heard what I said. When the carriage had left Cloud City, the only way for these people to find out about their plans was for someone in Cloud City to alert them.They had already cleaned the three families thoroughly. Yet, it appeared that some additional forces were still lurking in the city."That isn't your fault. You cannot match yourself to the other party - even if the other party publicly placed spies in your home, all you can do is observe." I quietly explained.What options does Rui have if a Duke wants to send a spy to her city? Nothing.Forget about plac
The two magicians were apprehended and led over. They were no longer wearing their mask or hood covers. The first wizard appeared to be a little older, and scholarly, but with a trace of viciousness in his terrified and anxious gaze.And then there's the second mage... I immediately recognised who it was after the mask was taken off."Such an odd coincidence, Mr Alfred." I laughed."Do you believe that I purposely caused you to suffer in this life?" I couldn't help but laugh once again. This was the person who pretended to be arrogant and powerful despite having only mediocre talents because he was a product of the Red Tower.So a warhorse made love to him. The pain must have been cured, otherwise, he would have healed it by now, given how evolved magic is.Yet, surely, even magic cannot alleviate psychological pain?If these two wizards were placed in a tower during combat, they would make an excellent weapon. But before they had a chance to perform any spells, these two walked onto
"I was just lost in my thoughts. Is there anything else you'd like to say?" I gave Alfred a friendly smile."That's all I know," Alfred hesitated before he finally said. "Can you please let me go? I'm simply an ordinary wizard, and I had a disagreement with these guys. I even used the flame wall to warn you. We, therefore, don't actually need to be adversaries.""Yeah, I am quite clear." I agreed by nodding. I commented that he was certainly telling the truth. "I'm not going to kill you."Alfred immediately bowed down in elation, as if he had caught a glimpse of hope."I am eternally grateful for your kindness!"But before he could raise his head, he heard a blast of wind and a hammer slam into the back of his head.Blood and brain tissue splattered on the ground as his body dropped heavily. His head was like a watermelon and completely exploded."I won't kill you. Someone else, however, will." I smirked. I would kill Alfred even if he didn't know anything. Considering that he had alr
"All right, let's get started." When the other party continued to look on silently, Luther spoke.Dray didn't waste any time talking after understanding. Dray immediately mobilised 60% of his maximum strength and gathered it in his hand.Weapons were not permitted because it was only a friendly battle. Moreover, skills couldn't be employed due of potential risks.Dray struck the air with a straightforward fist motion.Boom!It sounded like an air blast that echoed throughout the entire plaza and vast field.Out of nowhere, a fist-shaped deep blue aura materialised. It swept towards Luther while making deep ruts in the earth and exuding a frightening atmosphere.The aura fist continued to grow stronger as it advanced. As it continued to tear down the earth foot by foot, it eventually accumulated a tremendous amount of force.Boom! Boom! Boom!Luther's body was surrounded by a green glow that flickered with the air. It quickly manifested as a sizable shield that intercepted the punch.C
"He must be captured and killed, immediately! The removal of further risks can only happen after that. Our family has been thrust into the spotlight as a result of the problems he has caused, we cannot afford to be careless."Zephyr's expression was solemn."No matter how strong or numerous our Azure Dragon family is, at the end of the day, it is just a county if one thing goes wrong."There was a brief silence.While that was accurate, the mastermind posed a dilemma. All the spies they had placed in Cloud City vanished out of thin air in a matter of days. Also, they sent investigators to Cloud City but were unsuccessful in uncovering any information.Although several citizens claimed that a noble had been staying in Cloud City, no one knew who the noble was.There was no sign of him prior to this, making it seem as though he had just materialized. That also ruled out the idea that the mastermind might have been a noble from one of the nearby cities.The Azure Dragon family's failure
