Herag packed up for a while, preparing to leave. He looked back at the bed, which was a mess, and recalled the events of last night with endless satisfaction.

He left the room, finding the Nightingale Commerce Association members already waiting in the hall.

They chatted casually, waiting for Herag to wake up and depart.

Herag came to the hall, glanced at everyone, and said, "Let's go."

The Nightingale Commerce Association members naturally saw Misu coming out of Herag's room but didn't find it strange.

In their view, given Herag's status, this was quite normal.

Herag arrived at the port, and once on the airship, called out the Toad.

He took out the Talisman Stone and sent Misu a message: "I'm leaving."

A while later, Misu replied: "Okay."

Herag saw the message, smiled slightly without sending another, and put away the Talisman Stone.

...

The airship quickly flew out of Shahai City, entering the desolate pollution zone.

Herag stood by the window, looking at the desolate scenery around and spoke to the Toad on his shoulder, "Do you think Fran will come this time?"

"You deliberately arranged the itinerary so tight, pretending you want to get things done and return to Silver Moon City immediately, just to lure him here, right?" the Toad said.

Herag nodded: "Precisely, just not sure if he'll take the bait."

Typically, Fran wouldn't be able to rush over from Eye of the Storm to chase Herag in such a short time.

Herag had stayed in Silver Moon City for years, and this trip was a sudden decision.

If taking an airship, it would take several months to get here from Eye of the Storm.

So theoretically, Herag's trip should be safe, without Fran's attacks.

But Level 3 Wizards have many methods, always able to quickly rush over once hearing the news.

Herag glanced at the calm land below and said, "Whether I can survive this time depends on you."

"Don't worry, although I'm just a projection, dealing with a Level 3 Creature is no problem. When the time comes, just stay inside, and come out after I handle him," the Toad said.

The Toad's body contains countless independent spaces. When Fran arrives, Herag just needs to dive in.

Unless Fran can blow up the Toad directly, Herag won't be in any danger.

The Toad's body is Level 6 Strength, and Fran's ability can't pose a threat to him.

Flying high in the air, the airship gradually entered the night.

Herag's Spiritual Power was highly concentrated, staying alert.

The Toad suddenly said: "He's here."

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding space began to distort, and the airship instantly shattered into pieces before exploding into countless fragments falling toward the ground.

Herag floated mid-air, the Toad perched on his shoulder, and he looked up at the sky.

In the depths of the sky, there was the shadow of a Winged Dragon, with a black figure standing on its back.

Herag glanced at the falling airship, the Nightingale Commerce Association members used various tools to escape.

Of course, there were also bodies falling with the airship debris.

Herag had no way to deal with this, only to ask Vernon to compensate the deceased's families afterward.

"After not seeing you for years, I didn't expect you've stepped into the Level 2 Wizard threshold. If my poor disciple hadn't died at your hands, he would now be a Level 2 Wizard too. With his talent and intellect, he'd definitely advance to Level 3 Wizard, what a pity." Fran's voice came from high above.

The Winged Dragon swiftly descended, stopping in front of Herag.

Fran's appearance hadn't changed one bit; he was still that middle-aged man from the Mediterranean.

"Mr. Fran, long time no see," Herag smiled.

Fran said, "Don't worry, after I kill you today, I won't bother your relatives and friends; I don't have time to waste on such meaningless things. The Black Space is still with you, right? Give it to me, and you can die easily."

"Uh... I left it at home, why don't you come with me to get it?" Herag asked.

Fran's face slightly changed: "Seems you're confident with backup. Why do you think you can survive against me? Every Level 3 Wizard's movement in Serlandir, I know about. No one is near here. Even the Tapia sisters are still in the distant north. Do you think I'd hesitate to kill you because of your status? Or do you think I'd fear the Toad on your shoulder?"

Herag nodded, looking at the Toad on his shoulder: "Bro, can you handle it?"

"Piece of cake," the Toad said.

Herag turned and smiled: "That's right, it's thanks to this Toad."

Fran then seriously surveyed the Toad, but no matter how he looked, this seemed just a regular Toad, nothing special.

The Toad crawled forward, casually strolling in the void, its size rapidly expanded, instantly transforming into a giant Toad as tall as five stories.

It opened its mouth and sucked Herag inside.

Once inside the Toad's Space, Herag found himself in pitch darkness, using a Light Technique to see the surroundings.

He discovered the place was actually a study, surrounded by rows of bookshelves filled with books.

"Read for a while here, and I'll let you know when it's done," the Toad's voice came from all around.

Fran looked solemnly at the Toad; he still couldn't feel any aura from the Toad, not even a sense of threat.

This was the most alarming thing for him.

Judging by the Toad's display, it must be an extremely powerful Demon.

But even such a powerful Demon did not give him a hint of threat.

Fran wouldn't be arrogant enough to think he was strong and the Toad was weak, thus no threat felt.

On the contrary, it was highly likely because the Toad was too strong, leaving Fran unable to sense even a bit of threat.

Just as an ant wouldn't fear an elephant, they belonged to entirely different levels, not of the same world.

Fran reached out, Magic Power surging, the robe he wore billowing with the wind.

A black chain appeared, growing longer, starting to weave through the surrounding void.

Once formed, this black chain flew toward the Toad, seemingly wanting to bind him.

The Toad stared with its giant lantern-like eyes, neither dodging nor avoiding, showing no sign of fear.

Judging by its appearance, it seemed to be observing Fran's use of Magic, analyzing the principle of the black chain Magic.

Fran felt the intention revealed in the Toad's eyes, and his mood immediately grew heavier.

This meant the Toad completely ignored him.

The black chain quickly bound the Toad, igniting black flames on the chain.
