Rayn raised a hand to his mouth and gave a dry cough to hide his embarrassment. Then, with a hint of emotion in his voice, he said, "It seems like our goals are the same, truly great minds think alike.""No, no, no... you're overestimating me.""Who would think alike with a lunatic like you?""I'm not as crazy as you...""Hey! Don't slander me! I'm not that crazy!"To Rayn's surprise, his words seemed to strike a nerve with everyone. They reacted as though someone had pricked them with a needle, even taking two steps back from him."?"Rayn tilted his head in confusion. "What do you mean by that?"Kaelen, who seemed like a fairly nice guy, pursed his lips before answering, "You know we're just First Level Wizards, right?""Yeah.""Then don't you think it's a bit crazy for a First Level Wizard to plot against hundreds of creatures, the weakest being Fourth Level and the strongest Seventh Level?""Huh?" Rayn felt as though his brain couldn't keep up with the conversation. "Not to mentio

After a brief silence, Rayn suddenly changed the subject. "Speaking of which, where is David?" His gaze swept across the group before settling on Kaelen and Anya. He remembered hearing some information about "Kaiden" earlier. "That country warrior... is it him?" Seraphina frowned slightly and shook her head. "To be honest, I'm not too sure, but what I can confirm is that guy David is definitely not dead." "Oh?" Her answer immediately caught the attention of the other three. They moved a little closer, quietly listening to what she had to say. Seraphina brushed her hair aside. "David, that guy's main focus was on Alchemy, with a secondary focus on Puppetry. Plus, his mentor is the foremost Human Body Refining Alchemist of the entire Nolun Workshop. Even I don't know how many spare bodies that guy really has." "Then it seems that Kaiden is indeed not David, but judging by his actions, he should also be a Wizard." Rayn felt a little disappointed. It seemed that David's c

The towering column of chaotic light above the church district swayed in the night sky, turning Lingyuan City into an eerie painting. Piercing alarms rang across the city as countless figures rushed towards the light, and the once orderly streets gradually descended into chaos. Rayn and his companions had expected that causing such a disturbance would make escaping the Royal City extremely difficult. Seraphina had nearly erased her presence completely. This was her unique talent, one that could buy her precious time to escape even when facing a Demigod. Kaelen's body shimmered with complex radiance, while Anya was surrounded by a faint green glow. Intricate Runes danced at Reks' fingertips as he prepared for any unexpected danger. Beyond relying on their individual talents, none of them hesitated to bring out their high-tier witchcraft artifacts and cast protective spells on themselves. Reks had even made arrangements in advance for his army of mechanical bodies, positioning

Wizard Camp When Rayn and his four companions stepped through the gates of the Wizard Camp, a familiar yet long-missed sense of ease immediately washed over them. There was no interference from the Power of Faith here, nor the noise and chaos of the mortal world. All around them were pure magical energy and the familiar presence of their fellow Wizards. The tension that had built up over the past few days gradually faded, replaced by the satisfaction of completing their mission and the anticipation of the rewards awaiting them. "Welcome back!" Several Low Tier Wizards responsible for receiving returning apprentices stepped forward, their eyes filled with admiration and a trace of envy. It was clear that the camp had already received news of what had happened. Before long, an updated contribution ranking was released and displayed for everyone to see. This time, instead of directly imprinting the information into everyone's minds as before, the camp had erected a gigantic

With the Sage's help, someone of high status and power, many things became easier. Like Rayn and the others' small maneuvers in the Royal Capital, their actions had proceeded smoothly partly because the Sage had used his abilities to cover them up. When David confirmed that Rayn and the others would act that night to initiate faith contamination, thereby creating opportunities for the High Tier Wizards, he decided to secure an additional contribution by teaming up with the Sage for one final move. They secretly gathered all the high-ranking officials of the various races, those who held the highest authority among mortals and could mobilize armies and organize resistance. Then, they activated a prearranged magic trap devised by the Sage, instantly slaughtering everyone before they could react. This was why, while Rayn and his four companions successfully escaped the Royal Capital, the city was thrown into chaos without anyone capable of managing the situation or organizing an eff
