"Heh heh heh... Yakus, how are these fireworks?"
In the clouds, Land chuckled softly, holding Yakus, who was clutching his own tail, once more in his claws and asked gently.
"Lord Land is right, these are indeed the most beautiful fireworks I've ever seen in my life so far.
But I think next time, when Lord Land invites me, the fireworks will surely be even more beautiful, won't they? I'm somewhat looking forward to that."
Yakus also smiled.
For the death of the soldiers who were with the baron and the townspeople, he felt no remorse.
This guy clearly wasn't someone with a kind heart.
"Hahaha! Yakus! As long as you work hard for me and research more spells, I believe the next fireworks won't be long in coming."
Land laughed heartily, feeling particularly joyful.
Although the recent activation of the [Dragon Flame Jade] consumed nearly seventy percent of his stamina and magic power, its power was truly astonishing.
In his view, it definitely rivaled that of an eighth-ring spell.
Fire itself is the most damaging and violent element, matched with a terrifying shock wave.
The real power, even among eighth-ring spells, stands near the top, I believe.
If that deceitful Silver Dragon had taken such a hit previously.
Land could guarantee! The opponent would definitely go directly to meet her god!
At the same time, it's the best skill he currently has.
Unlike a skill like Dragon Meteor.
The [Dragon Flame Jade] is also a group damage skill, but when it hits directly, its power can rival that of a single-target spell.
It is a skill balancing both single-target and group damage.
Moreover, he didn't even use full power this time! To be honest, he's quite curious to see the power with total consumption or after using ninety percent of his stamina and magic.
However, being somewhat cautious by nature, he wouldn't allow himself to appear in an especially weak state, as that might cause him to lose the opportunity to escape if he encounters a formidable enemy at an unfortunate time.
"I look forward to that day, Lord Land!
By the way, is there any particular spell you need me to research? Honestly, I'm full of vigor right now."
Yakus was enthusiastic, eager to return to researching spells, hoping to achieve more outstanding results to gain Land's favor and usher in the next fireworks more quickly.
"Next, I want you to research a spell called..."
Land and Yakus chatted leisurely in the air, only leaving with Yakus after a long while.
And the news of the death of the baron in this small town spread.
When people nearby heard from the townsfolk that it was because of divine punishment from above, they felt it was absurd.
But when they arrived and saw the tragic scene of the incident, they fell silent.
They didn't believe it was divine punishment; they thought Baron Karl had offended someone!
Offended an extremely powerful caster!
At least a level 18 or 19.
A caster infinitely close to Legend!
Only such a strong individual, fully exerting their most powerful spell, could possibly have caused such a scene of utter destruction, right?
There are only a few such strong individuals in the entire kingdom.
Even though Baron Karl was highly disliked, being confined to a mountainous small town, he shouldn't have offended any major figures, right?
How did he suffer such punishment out of nowhere?
It's hard to comprehend.
And there's no way to uncover the truth.
This was one of the reasons Land chose [Dragon Flame Jade] to avenge Yakus.
There was certainly the intention to further experiment with the power of [Dragon Flame Jade] and observe its actual effect.
How could he not intend to hide himself?
[Dragon Flame Jade] attacks the target from thousands of meters above; those on the ground who die are clueless about who did it.
However, if [Dragon Meteor] were used to kill Baron Karl in one strike,
his true identity would be immediately exposed, wouldn't it?
Though he isn't afraid of these ants, he doesn't want to provoke unnecessary trouble.
Unless... he exterminates every human in this small town.
While Land views humans in this world as ants, in his calmer, more normal moods, he has no interest in killing these ants one by one.
It's like when you were young, playing with an ant nest; you pour boiling water into the nest, but those that escape or are outside you don't bother to pay too much attention to, nor do you pour boiling water to kill them.
Your focus is solely on the nest.
The lives of ants unrelated to you would only be taken when you're in a mischievous mood.
Because, perhaps your time is more valuable than the lives of these ants!
Even if it's just for a second!
This is a very sad, yet very ironic reality.
Green Forest.
During Land's absence, a few more magical creatures flew out from it.
Green City.
On the top floor of the Magic Tower.
The same room filled with books, beside the wooden table, an elderly man with white hair and a beard carefully perused the information the Magic Owl had just delivered.
"To the honorable Great Mage:
According to your instructions, now it's been over five months in the Green Forest.
Today, Amos, that rebel, developed an extremely powerful seventh-ring fire skill for the Evil Dragon, further enhancing the dragon's power.
Not sure if it's an illusion, but I feel that the Evil Dragon seems to have grown significantly, becoming much stronger than before.
To prevent any unforeseen events, I earnestly request you gather forces promptly to annihilate the Evil Dragon and all its kin."
"Young people just can't keep their cool, they don't have a vision for the future!
It's rare to have an Evil Dragon that runs a business, earning its own money. Isn't it a waste not to fatten it up before slaughtering?"
The old man shook his head with a wry smile, his tone filled with mockery towards the letter writer.
He paid no heed to the part mentioning the Evil Dragon appearing much stronger.
He thought the writer was simply impatiently urging them to send troops to attack and liberate him from the Evil Dragon.
So he continued to write:
"Hold on! Stay steady! The fish can grow even bigger! Young man, look further ahead!"
At the same time.
In Aire City.
In a villa on the edge of the Central Business Street.
A somewhat plump Aganfu lay on a soft sofa, naked from the waist up.
A maid by his side gently massaged his back with small hands, making him hum contentedly with eyes half-closed.
On a nearby seat, there was a small wooden box playing soothing music.
This was an alchemist-forged music box, not very expensive, but certainly not cheap either, with a price of about 70 Silver Rable, a symbol of affluence.
Aganfu was immersed in it, almost falling asleep.
BANG!!!
But at that moment, the door was brutally kicked open.
The massaging maid froze in shock, and Aganfu was scared nearly to death, trembling all over as he looked towards the door.
Then he saw the intruder was a guard who had been following him even before he met Land.
This made him furious, roaring:
"You wretch! Do you know what you're doing? If you don't have a reasonable explanation, I'll definitely send you back to the master! Let him skin you alive and eat you!"
