Urged by the man to hurry, I tried my best to get some energy running through my limbs by activating my Divine Armor. No longer bound, I felt free at last, and it was a wonderful feeling.I tried my best to resist the urge to teach the couple who were still in the cell a lesson, and followed the mage out of the basement.No longer restricted by my shackles, the couple no longer put on airs in front of me. They became cautious and meek as if worried that I might lunge at them and rip out their throats.The further we got out of the building, the more surprised I was, because the Mage's Association was a complete mess. There were fleeing bodies left and right, and I was so stunned that I stopped in place for a moment. The mage quickly took my hand and dragged me forward, almost dragging me out of the Mage's Association.In the distance, I could see a group of people standing on the other side of the building, surrounded by a mess. Wailing bodies lay on the floor, a

The next day, I went to see Old Jeff, wondering whether the old man had finally grown a conscience to worry about me if I told him about how I was captured by the Mage's Association. Of course, I also had to inform him that I was going to be absent for a few days."So you finally remembered about poor old Jeff, do you? Where the hell have you been? And you've only barely skimmed the surface of your dressmaking lessons, you lazy brat. Do you really want to learn it or not? With your current skills, you can probably churn out something half-assed and impress a couple of girls, but try starting a business and you'll barely make it out of the front door. Make sure you don't tell anyone I'm your teacher, either. I've still got a reputation to uphold!"Sure enough, Old Jeff lectured me without the slightest kindness."Yes, yes, of course, I want to keep learning! I was really held up by something this time! It was so bad I almost didn't get to see you again," I sulked like

Amazing or not, it was true that I was a warrior, even though I was also a mage. Otherwise, I had absolutely no idea how I was going to explain to them why I was so strong. In fact, what I just did was probably nothing for any trained, high-ranked warrior. Of course, I also had to rely on my Divine Armor to boost my strength and balance. With my current strength, lifting up such a large pot without any help was still going to be a struggle.At this time, I was approached by a man whose hair had become white with age, accompanied by several other villagers. He walked slowly, but before he even reached me, his earnest voice reached my ears."Thank you very much, kind sir. I don't know what we would've done if you hadn't come to our help today."When the old man tried to bow to me, I quickly stopped him."Don't mention it, Sir. I just happened to be passing by, it's nothing."The old man nodded in gratitude and then raised his head to look at me."I am the

With Alyshah missing and myself half-buried in the ground, there was no way I could get away in time. I raised several Wind and Earth walls in front of me, as well as a Wind Pillar so that I could divert the magical beast’s flames. At the same time, I used my Divine Armor to protect my body and raised my shield. That was all I could do for now.When the magical beast’s blast of flames finally made contact with my magic, there were loud crackling sounds. The flames that hit my Wind Wall were only slightly weakened, continuing straight toward me, but finally dissipated when they hit my Earth Barrier.“Yes, I managed to block it!” I cheered out loud. Yet before I could feel proud for long, the Earth Barrier suddenly turned red. The dirt had absorbed all the heat from the flames and gradually turned black. With a single flap of the beast’s wings, my Earth Barrier turned into ashes and scattered in the wind.“What?!” I exclaimed. B

Strongly resisting the urge to slap the woman across the face. I slowly went up to them and glared at Alfred.“Is that so?”The woman’s words seemed to have given Alfred a reminder and he was no longer cowering. Now, he was again proud and haughty with the assumption that he had any sort of power over me because of his connections.“You think you’re all high and mighty just because you’re a mage? My uncle is one of the grandmasters of Rowe’s Mage’s Association! Do you know what sort of consequences you’re in for if you dare offend me?!” he barked.Furious, I rolled up my sleeves and made my way over to teach that bastard a lesson.Lucky for them, the village chief quickly rushed over to stop me, “Leon, please! You should think about how you’re going to deal with that magical beast instead. By the way, have you two not eaten? Why don’t we prepare some food for you?”Befor
