Since Toad agreed to Herag to take care of Fran, he naturally went all out.

The first thing he did was not to scare Fran away and didn't make a move immediately.

Instead, he chose a more stable method, which was to seal off the surrounding space completely, cutting off Fran's escape route.

The range of space Toad could manipulate was so vast that Fran didn't even realize he was already in a massive cage of heaven and earth.

By the time Fran sensed something was amiss and tried to flee, he had already reached the boundary of the space and couldn't get out.

In the end, a desperate fight was to no avail, and he died at the hands of Toad.

Herag reached out to touch the space in front of him and found that the space here was indeed sealed and had yet to be lifted.

This place is now a temporary independent space, and whatever happens here won't be sensed by other places.

Herag looked back at Fran's body and said, "Is there any completely clean way to dispose of this body? I'm afraid someone from the Eye of the Storm will trace something."

A Level 3 Wizard is an extremely important figure in any faction, and once such a figure dies, it will inevitably be investigated to the end.

Fran could come to kill Herag, and even if he killed him, Serlandir would just compensate a bit, and nothing would happen to him.

But the reverse is not possible. If the people from the Eye of the Storm knew Fran died at Herag's hands, they would certainly want Herag dead.

Not only would they want Herag dead, but Serlandir would have to bleed heavily to quell this matter.

It seems very unfair, but Fran and Herag are not equals in identity and strength.

Therefore, the same thing Fran can do, Herag cannot.

Ultimately, it's still a lack of strength; Herag knows that if he were strong enough, even if he killed Fran, the Eye of the Storm wouldn't dare say anything.

Toad pondered, "I can handle it completely clean; I can exile the body into the space turbulence. Once in the space turbulence, no one can retrieve anything from it."

Space turbulence is an extremely terrifying area, where even rules are broken.

"Exile into space turbulence? How do you manage that?" Herag asked curiously.

Toad said, "My internal space connects to a place that leads to space turbulence; I can directly eject things there."

"Huh? Your internal space can connect to space turbulence?" Herag was somewhat shocked.

Such a terrifying place as space turbulence, and someone can connect there internally, aren't they afraid of backlash?

Toad didn't understand why Herag was so surprised and said blandly, "Yes, I generally throw unwanted trash there."

Herag thought for a moment, took out a ring and some powder, and said, "Can you also toss these into the space turbulence for me?"

The ring was Malcolm's ring, containing a bunch of things needing disposal.

The powder was Malcolm's remains; Herag had kept it to be completely eradicated.

This was the right time to dispose of Fran's body; the two master and apprentice could head off together, a kind of fate.

Toad glanced and said, "No problem."

He opened his mouth, a suction force came, and Fran's body on the ground, along with the space ring and powder in Herag's hand, were all sucked in.

Herag hadn't found a good way to dispose of these things, and now it was just right.

After Toad handled these, he lifted the seal on the surrounding space, then quickly shrank in size, becoming a palm-sized little toad, lightly leaping onto Herag's shoulder.

Herag looked around, discerned the direction, and walked towards Shahai City.

He could also go into the Divine State to inform Reese of the situation here and have Vernon send an airship for him.

But doing so might seem strange; how would Reese know about happenings in the pollution zone without the Magic Net?

Of course, many reasons could explain it, like some special communication magic.

Herag thought about it and decided against adding unnecessary trouble.

Things aren't like before; previously, he was weak and not well-known, with few paying attention to him.

Now, however, quite a few are silently watching his movements.

Reaching the Level 2 Wizard level tends to draw attention.

For Herag, returning to Shahai City was just a longer walk, just more effort.

Spend more time, have less trouble.

On his way to Shahai City, Herag encountered four people from the Nightingale Commerce Association on an airship, including his two assistants.

They said others were either dead or missing, and they were also heading back to Shahai City.

It's too dangerous in the pollution zone to search for others, barely being able to protect themselves.

Upon seeing Herag, they were delighted; having a Level 2 Wizard with them greatly increased their chances of returning alive to Shahai City.

More importantly, Herag is an important figure in the Nightingale Commerce Association; having him alive is the best news.

After being attacked by unknown figures against the airship, their first thought was that it was targeted at Herag.

If the Nightingale Commerce Association wants to continue to grow, they still need Herag to provide more magic potion formulas.

Talent is always the most important.

"Mr. Herag, are you okay?" the female assistant asked.

Herag calmly replied, "I'm fine, let's hurry back to Shahai City."

The four immediately followed behind Herag, continuing forward.

They found it difficult to discern direction in the pollution zone and could only follow Herag.

Noticing Herag walking in one direction without any hesitation, they felt more at ease knowing he could determine the direction.

With four burdens, their pace was slower, and Herag couldn't just leave them behind and return himself.

There was no need to do so without any danger, so he brought them back.

If not for himself, the airship wouldn't have crashed.

About two days later, they could see the outline of Shahai City from afar.

The four from the Nightingale Commerce Association couldn't help but be excited, feeling grateful when watching Herag's figure ahead.

They were indeed afraid Herag might leave them behind, as no one wanted to linger in the pollution zone more than necessary.

Yet Herag patiently led them through the pollution zone and even offered shelter in the Wildfire Tent for the night.
