Robert hesitated among the choices.At this moment, Joel suddenly spoke, "If we don't declare our stance now, waiting until the four major family factions win the battle, it will be too late."He said so clearly because he felt Arthur was undoubtedly going to lose. Regardless, he didn't believe someone with no magical talent like Arthur could defeat an old fox like Nicholas, who had lived for hundreds of millions of years.Upon hearing this, Robert's finger couldn't help but twitch slightly, his gaze deep and thoughtful. Just then, Riert interjected, "Currently, nothing can be certain. The best way to avoid harm on any front is to wait for the battle between Arthur and Nicholas to conclude. If Arthur wins, we can still maintain a good relationship with him. If Nicholas wins, we can start building a new relationship with them from that moment without any major issues."Riert didn't understand why they had to worry about this issue. In his opinion, Arthur and Nicholas should be the o
Lance wore a serious expression as he briefed Arthur on the situation, saying, "Certainly, the four major clans must have orchestrated this. There are currently many conflicting opinions about you on the internet."What Lance was really concerned about came next. It seemed someone was guiding the direction of online discourse. There were numerous derogatory opinions about Arthur, some even claiming he was unworthy of his current position. Arthur, seemingly indifferent, remarked, "Regardless, it's the truth. There's no need to get worked up about it."Lance furrowed his brow slightly but ultimately said nothing more. Michael couldn't help but glance at Arthur, who genuinely seemed unfazed by the online commentary. Honestly, Michael admired his mindset.Then Arthur continued, "Lance, ignore the magical talent discussions. Have someone investigate the opinions affecting me and the Hastings clan. Sue them all for me."He had the resources to do so. Lance immediately nodded and made
Robert blinked, trying to appear more spirited. He seemed a bit tired as he spoke, "I'm fine, just been having some headaches lately." Case didn't say anything more upon hearing this. Despite Robert's seeming abnormality, Case couldn't discern any unusual signs from him.Case offered, "Do you need me to perform the replacement procedure for you?" Not exerting himself too much, Robert nodded and said, "Alright." With that, he stepped back.Case followed suit, moving a little forward. However, he didn't catch it in time—when Robert stepped back, his eyes suddenly darkened slightly as if covered by a veil of black mist. It was a fleeting change, almost as if it had never occurred.Case didn't need a microphone. He harnessed his power and began speaking, "Prepare." His voice resonated loudly and clearly, reaching everyone's ears.Without looking at Case, Nicholas spoke in a low tone, "Currently, there are indeed many hidden talents. Last time, I didn't realize this person had suc
Nicholas's relentless attacks threw nearly a third of the battlefield into chaos. The ground erupted into deep craters, and dust scattered in all directions. Everyone watched in awe at his power.At this moment, the dust suddenly cleared in a circle, revealing Arthur unharmed, standing in place. However, he quickly jumped back into the dust to evade Nicholas's attacks. Nicholas chuckled at this and increased the speed of his assault.Just then, a bright spot suddenly flickered amidst the dust. Before anyone could comprehend what it was, a dazzling light emerged. Arthur leaped out of the dust, displaying incredible strength that turned the ground beneath him into a large pit.In his hand, a black-flamed sword appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Arthur faced the energy beams shot from Nicholas's magic circle without hesitation. With a single swing of his sword, those energy beams vanished, losing all their power.In a matter of moments, Arthur appeared in front of Nicholas, swing
Seizing the opportunity, Arthur was pushed back, and Nicholas quickly retreated, temporarily avoiding further combat. In his heart, Nicholas was not only infuriated but also deeply perplexed. Why?! Clearly, he was a level 9 mage, yet he was about to lose to someone with no magical talent like Arthur?No, this couldn't be happening. In this era of change, the Hastings family had lost its former glory, no longer producing talents. Why, after countless incidents, could Arthur still surpass everyone?Could it be that the position of the Hastings family was truly something beyond the reach of ordinary people? No, he would never believe this. Today, he would undoubtedly emerge victorious!Nicholas looked towards Arthur, his eyes icy. After all, he still had one trump card left against Arthur...On another side, the battle between Lance and Bryan was reaching its climax. Since entering the forest, Lance's magic had indeed been restricted, but his speed and strength were not among th
Upon hearing Harry's words, Lance showed no particular expression and simply said, "Alright, then. Perhaps it's time to find a way to break the barrier on his head."Upon hearing this, Harry couldn't help but furrow his brow a bit. "Do you want to kill him right away?"Lance nodded. "In any case, he's likely just a puppet of Nicholas. Keeping him alive only adds to the trouble."Harry agreed, saying, "You're right. So, make sure he can't move anymore, then take him to the owner. Perhaps he'll have a solution."Lance raised an eyebrow slightly at that but ultimately didn't say anything more and continued to attack Bryan.Now, with Harry, a magical genius, added to the mix, they quickly rendered Bryan unable to move his limbs. However, Bryan continued to unleash attacks as if his magic was limitless, and the gruesome wounds on his body seemed to have no effect on him.Harry, without hesitation, raised his staff, and a strand of light appeared, tightly wrapping around Bryan. Despite Bry
Arthur had just entered his mental world when he immediately noticed a massive seal appearing in the sky undergoing changes. They were engulfed in lightning bolts, and these golden lightning bolts were crazily striking the ground. The already parched and blackened ground was now being directly struck by lightning, forming small craters.With each strike, Arthur felt the pain more clearly. He couldn't help but furrow his brow, his eyes showing a hint of coldness. As he had predicted, everything was caused by this seal.Frowning, he raised the scepter in his hand and fiercely attacked the seal. Arthur had never felt such hatred for not having magic. If he had magic, he might have been able to destroy this seal long ago instead of creating a few small cracks in it.This time, Arthur was truly angry, his eyes filled with coldness, unaffected by any pain. At this moment, the lightning continued to strike. Sensing Arthur's attack, the lightning, this time, was larger and more powerfu
A violent storm of wind surrounded Arthur. Dust flew everywhere, yet it couldn't touch him even in the slightest. The Thlu and Moonless, who were battling in the sky, suddenly sensed a call. They felt as if something was summoning them, calling them back to their original positions. The entire group quickly turned into individual points of light, zooming towards Arthur.By this time, Nicholas had also noticed the disturbance below. His body bore numerous burns. His once pristine clothing had been burnt, and even his slicked-back hair now looked disheveled. Although he had the upper hand in the fight against the Thlu and Moonless, he wasn't unscathed. He bore quite a few wounds, especially those inflicted by Moonless, which were now burning as if flames were coursing through his veins, causing immense discomfort and pain.Seeing Arthur's current state, Nicholas's already unpleasant expression turned even more grim. Arthur not only didn't faint from the pain but could still figh
