“So powerful!” Klein looked at the phantom of a dragon soul and Ron in shock. One could not tell if he was referring to the strength of the gold-tier magical weapon or Ron.
When Howen saw the other party’s performance, he was shocked and in disbelief. When Ron was making his moves earlier, he had seen his strength. “Ron is actually a level-8 Great Mage! How is this possible? Previously, when we fought at the banquet, he was only a level-5 Great Mage. It has only been a few days, and he has already advanced three levels in a row? He has become a level-8 Great Mage?”
He did not know if it was because the other party had concealed his strength that day, or if the other party was really so talented that he could advance three levels in a short period of time. He could not accept either of these scenarios.
After killing five people in a row, Ron stretched out his hand and beckoned. Instantly, the phantom of a dragon soul gave a roar and flew directly toward Ron. When it reached Ron’s hand, the phantom of a dragon soul plunged directly into the Ice Wand; it could change freely. Seeing this made Howen and Klein very envious.
But Serena was overjoyed to see Ron so powerful and suave. She quickly retracted her magical power, and the Thunder Pearl regained its calm and she kept it away.
“Brother Ron!”
Serena threw herself directly into Ron’s arms and said in a happy but slightly aggrieved voice.
Ron looked at Serena worriedly and said, “Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine. Brother Ron, you came just in time. Otherwise, I… I…” After saying this, she buried herself in Ron’s chest and cried, feeling very aggrieved.
“Don’t worry, no one can hurt you with me around,” said Ron gently, patting Serena on the back.
…
“Hehe, not bad, not bad. You are really a befitting descendant of mine. Your first attempt to save someone has been extraordinary. I, your Old Ancestor, give you a full score,” On the other side, Romo, who was watching the entire battle through the Visitation Talisman, said. He was very pleased with Ron’s performance.
[Ding… Warning, warning. System has discovered that a descendant with a genius aptitude for magical power is in danger.]
[Ding… System has generated an urgent mission: Save the 17th generation descendant, Ron Nicholas.]
Damn, what’s going on?
Romo was stunned when he heard the System notification.
Ron has already finished off the assassins, and he is still in danger?
…
At the same time, dozens of kilometers away from the battlefield, a man in black was flying rapidly. His target was the battlefield earlier. He was dressed in a black robe, which covered his entire body completely from top to bottom. Even his collar was up, covering most of his face.
As he was flying, his expression suddenly changed. Then, he stretched out his hand and looked. He instantly saw five dead worms in his hand. Immediately, he frowned.
“Why are they all dead?” said the man in black with a frown. The five worms were called Paired Worms. Worms like these existed in pairs. Normally, one was male and the other was female. If any of them died, the other worm would die immediately. The man in black had placed the male worms in his subordinates. If a subordinate died, the parasitic worm in him would also die immediately. In this way, the female worm sensing the death of the male worm would also die. Through this method, he would be able to know his subordinates’ condition..
Previously, he had already learned of the death of his three subordinates through this method. He knew this mission was certainly very difficult and was afraid that those subordinates would not be able to complete it. Hence, he had sent another person over to help and check on them. Unexpectedly, the remaining five people had all died almost the same time. Something definitely went wrong.
Winterfrost is up ahead. Has the City Lord of Winterfrost, Lein Dupont, intervened?
Only a Great Archmage could kill his subordinates in one go. Thinking of this, he flew even faster. At this moment, he suddenly saw an ice-blue shadow, and it was emitting a powerful aura.
He focused his magical power on his eyes and took a closer look. Instantly, he saw that the ice-blue shadow was actually the phantom of a dragon soul. The black-robed person was instantly shocked. This was actually a gold-tier magical weapon! And the person using this gold-tier magical weapon was actually a mere Great Mage? And there were the corpses of his subordinates below? His subordinates had actually been killed by a mere Great Mage using a gold-tier magical weapon! This was just great. As a dignified Great Archmage, he did not even have a gold-tier magical weapon himself. He could just kill the other party and give himself a gold-tier magical weapon! Thinking of this, his speed was getting slightly faster. But before he could accelerate, he immediately stopped. He looked around with a grave expression, as if he had discovered some great danger.
“Who is it? Come out!” the man in black said loudly. Then, with a wave of his hand, a large mass of black things instantly emerged from his clothes. They were densely packed like a black cloud, and they were even emitting buzzing sounds. Moving closer, it could be seen that it was a group of flying insects the size of rice grains. These flying insects were all bred by the man in black. At this moment, as he released them, they charged towards a certain place in the sky because he could sense that there was someone hiding there.
Boom!
Suddenly, a burst of magical power radiated outwards. An eruption of magical power had occurred in that place, and a large portion of his insect cloud was directly blown up and a hole appeared. However, a figure had also appeared in that place. This was a very ordinary-looking old man dressed in servant’s clothing. Although he was very ordinary, the black-robed man did not dare to underestimate him at all, because he was obviously an expert of the Great Archmage realm.
This person was Karuman. When he saw Karuman appear, the black-robed man was shocked. He had thought that it was Lein Dupont, the City Lord of Winterfrost. Who would have known that it was not Lein Dupont but such an old man? How could such a small city like Winterfrost have so many Great Archmagi?
The man in black looked at Karuman carefully and suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He pointed at Karuman and said, “Are you Karuman?”
“Hmm? You know me?” Karuman said as he looked at the other party in shock. He had always kept a very low profile in his operations. He knew his own situation. He did not have any background, so he did not dare to act in a high-profile manner lest he offended someone.. Only in a place where there was no one around would he dare to commit murder and plunder.
