Arthur's victory was witnessed by all the people on the continent. Almost as soon as the battle reached its conclusion, the live broadcast was immediately cut off, and the vaulted ceiling above the arena gradually closed.Upon seeing this scene, Case couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly. Clearly, he hadn't instructed anyone to close the vault of the arena; someone must be manipulating it with magic. Glancing down, he noticed Harry quietly using an incantation to retract the vault.It seemed that in this battle, Arthur had sustained some injuries.Case couldn't help but think so. A little reflection would make the source of everything clear. Arthur obviously couldn't use magic, but in the recent battle, he had used it. Moreover, the energy was not small, to the extent that he easily killed a level 9 mage.Case speculated that Arthur might have used something to activate magic within his body, and now his body was experiencing backlash. Case's guess was almost correct but i

Brand stared at Arthur for a while before saying, "I already know that I don't have any noteworthy abilities. I can't discern any changes in you."Arthur remained silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Alright, so about the strongest masters of the Hastings family, is each generation of the Hastings family supposed to be like that?"Hearing this, Brand couldn't help but chuckle a bit, shaking his head, "Of course not. If every generation of the Hastings family had the ability to become the strongest on the continent, how could you and I end up in the situation we are in now?"Arthur, with his terrible magic aptitude, and he with sporadic prophetic abilities—most of the time, they couldn't be of much help.Upon hearing this, Arthur couldn't help but narrow his eyes a bit.Brand, caught by his gaze, felt a bit startled and instinctively asked, "So, what's going on?"At this moment, Arthur suddenly spoke, "I am also one of the individuals with the potential to become the strongest on

Arthur looked at Riert and replied, "I don't see anything unusual from Robert; it seems to be a prohibition spell."Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Anyway, Robert is now dead, and he doesn't even have a brain. The two of us should quickly agree on a solution."The situation was grave, and there was silence. Riert couldn't help but furrow his brow.At this point, Arthur suddenly spoke again, "Actually, I don't think we need to complicate things. The world has changed, and the government's power can't be dispersed as much as before. Perhaps this is an opportunity for us to unite the government's forces."Case and Riert had no objections, but they had already calculated in their minds. Clearly, they didn't find anything wrong with what Arthur said.Looking at them, Arthur brought up the main reason he came here today, "Moreover, elemental energy is coming back to life. Sooner or later, new forces that we have never known will emerge. Unity of power is crucial at this time."Case n

The black mist quickly dissipated, revealing Michael's true form. His skin tone in the upper part of his body was relatively normal, but as it descended, it darkened, culminating in his feet and hands, both stained with a branch-like black color. Moreover, this black hue was rather faint, as if his lower body were a wandering phantom. Indeed, he could float in the air like a spirit, fitting well with the name of his race, demonkin.His facial features underwent minimal changes, with only his eyes turning completely black. In the center were bright yellow pupils emitting a blood-red light. Demonkin were inherently bloodthirsty, and even if Michael portrayed himself as calm, his fierce eyes revealed a common trait of his race.His body floated in mid-air, and the black mist lingered around him like a cloak. Arthur squinted slightly, observing the purity in Michael's eyes and the deep intensity of the surrounding black mist. He couldn't help but comment, "Seems like you're a high-

United with the Elves, the Mermen are also one of the two most powerful non-human races on the continent. They rule over the Moonlit Isles, a land of magical gemstones. Both the islands and the surrounding sea of the Moonlit Isles are their territories.Their inherently fierce and bloodthirsty nature makes anyone hesitant to trespass even a little into their domain, as doing so might result in being torn into pieces. Fortunately, they confine their rule to their own land and punish those who enter without approval. They have no intentions of invading elsewhere.If they harbored ambitions to dominate the entire mainland, it would be a significant concern for humanity, even more so than the Beastfolk tribe. As their name suggests, they have a humanoid upper body and a fish tail lower body.According to records, their appearance is as beautiful as the Elves. The race is in constant conflict with humans, aspiring to claim vast human territories for themselves, the Beastfolk tribe.
