Level 3 Wizards are most proud of their ability to control various rule powers.

They have comprehended multiple rule powers, allowing them to utilize these powers to exhibit various formidable abilities.

Moreover, having gained the recognition of the World Will, their degree of control over rules is extremely high, which ordinary Level 2 Wizards cannot match.

This is also the vast gap between Level 2 Wizards and Level 3 Wizards, with a huge difference in power.

However, the Toad's mastery of various rules has reached a level that even Svallo, a Level 3 Wizard, can barely comprehend.

The opponent's means of attack seem to only be at the Level 3 Wizard's level, but in terms of rules, it far surpasses Level 3 Wizards.

These factors combined lead to the battle appearing so simple.

Seeing this, Herag became even more determined to become stronger.

He also wanted to be able to casually kill a Level 3 Wizard with a slap someday, then he would command the entire Wizard Plane at will.

After the Toad dealt with these three people, he lifted the multiple layers of space around Herag.

From Herag's perspective, the whole process actually ended in less than a minute.

He flew to the Toad's side and asked, "What about their souls?"

"Already scattered altogether," the Toad replied.

He seemed to have merely caused the physical demise of these three, but in reality, he dealt with their souls as well.

For the Toad, this was a matter of course—just using a bit more force, and the opponent's body and soul perished together.

Herag glanced at the bloodied corpses ahead and said, "Leave things like space rings; deal with the rest."

The Toad nodded, opened his mouth to reveal a pitch-black void within, absorbing all the limbs and flesh into the space stream.

Herag was a bit puzzled, noticing sometimes when the Toad opened his mouth it appeared as a normal oral structure, while other times it was a black hole.

As expected, Svallo had no space rings, giving Herag nothing.

In contrast, the other two Level 2 Wizards each had space rings, not just one.

Herag collected a total of five space rings, wondering why the two were carrying so many.

These space rings varied in size, containing numerous items, almost like warehouses, with everything inside.

After a simple count, Herag had a rough idea of their contents and began searching for what he wanted.

What he most desired were various Keys of Rules, but he found none within.

It's understandable that though these two were Level 2 Wizards, they wouldn't carry such precious items as Keys of Rules around.

Either they've used them themselves or sold them elsewhere, not carrying them daily.

But there was some harvest regarding Second-level Spell Model Books, particularly a Wind Second-Level Spell named Wind's Sigh.

Wind's Sigh is a reconnaissance-type spell that uses the Wind's rules to gather intelligence from faraway places.

This investigative method using rule powers is hard for ordinary people to guard against.

After all, who would suspect an innocuous gust of wind?

Unless hiding within this Witch Array, it's nearly impossible to evade the reconnaissance of Wind's Sigh.

Herag estimated the opponent likely discovered his departure from Black Rock Valley and learned his path and direction through this method, leading to their prior ambush.

Besides Wind's Sigh, there were also two Second-level Spell Model Books, both relating to Thunder Element rules.

One is the Thunder Fall Technique, which is genuine thunder rather than merely a small current.

Once the Thunder Fall Technique is cast, it summons a real lightning strike from the sky, containing terrifying thunder power and destructive might.

This lightning powered by rule strength holds far more destructive force than normal natural thunder.

The last Second-level Spell, Thunder Chain, is a type of control spell.

This spell can form a chain composed of lightning, binding the target with Thunder Rule Power.

While binding, it relentlessly discharges thunder power, torments the target.

This spell is specially designed for restraining powerful targets, as weaker targets cannot withstand the thunder power within the Thunder Chain.

The weak are directly electrocuted, rendering bindings unnecessary.

But if the target is strong enough, the Thunder Chain can effectively limit their mobility.

A potent target won't succumb to death due to the thunder power, while the Thunder Chain continues exhausting their stamina and magic power.

A highly effective control spell causing significant restrictions on the target, ceaselessly draining their strength.

Herag took all three spells out, putting them into his space ring for future use.

He couldn't learn from the Spell Model Books now as he lacked the crucial Key of Rules, missing the rule powers required.

"Where are you planning to go now? Heading back to the Land of Dawn might be troublesome," the Toad said.

Herag understood his implication. Having eliminated the three of Svallo, he stood against the Taylor Family.

Returning to the Land of Dawn, the Taylor Family definitely wouldn't let it rest.

He killed three of them, with one being a Level 3 Wizard, demanding his life for theirs.

Moreover, he's suspected of killing Medel and swindled over seventy thousand Magic Stones from Reece.

These compounded issues made Herag believe the Taylor Family wouldn't spare him.

The Toad's implication was clear; returning would certainly cause trouble, so consider fleeing.

Herag pondered; he knew he had to flee but planned to first return to Silver Moon City to consult with Pries there.

After all, he's ultimately part of Dawn Mage Mike's circle.

The situation's escalation would certainly alert figures of that level.

With the Toad present, he could flee at any time.

While there's room to maneuver, Herag intends to try to negotiate.

He's bound by numerous interests now, beyond an individual matter.

"Heading to Silver Moon City first, Toad, stay alert for anything unusual. If anything happens, take me away promptly. We'll head to Wisteria Ridge and leave with Reese and the others." Herag said.

The Toad nodded, without any objections, shrinking rapidly to perch on Herag's shoulder again.

With the Toad beside him, Herag needn't worry about covert attacks.

Even if he doesn't notice, it's enough that the Toad can detect any move against him.
