I'm really a serious wizard.

Chapter 307: Resolving Future Troubles and Traveling to Another Continent (Part 2)

Northern City.

A dark, surging tide of monsters rapidly approached from the distant plains.

They swarmed together, like a pack of locusts, preying on everything in sight.

Plants, animals, insects, and humans.

"Open the city gates and let us in!"

"Please, sir, we'll do anything, we'll only eat very little food."

Beneath the towering city walls, thousands of refugees gathered, pleading loudly for the city lord to take them in.

Three days ago, the Winter Defense Line collapsed, and these civilians who had not had time to evacuate were driven here by monsters.

However, on the city wall, the city lord of Wess, a man in his forties with a beer belly and dressed in light armor, looked down at the refugees being chased by monsters with tears in his eyes and shouted:

"Quick, run away!"

"Damn you, you lowly people! You must live on!"

The soldiers on the city wall remained unmoved, some with expressions of reluctance, some indifferent, and others with their fingertips clenched so tightly they turned white.

"Lord Weiss, why haven't you opened the city gates yet?"

Angry shouts came from the steps of the city wall.

Even without turning around, the overweight city lord knew who it was.

"Adele, is that even a question?"

"Those monsters are almost here. What will I do if they open the city gates?"

The tall woman paused, clearly not expecting the city lord to be so self-righteous.

That's a good question...

But isn't your selfishness a little too blatant?
"You are the city lord of Northern City, are you just going to stand by and watch?"

"if not?"

"I cheered them on and reminded them to run away quickly."

Weiss casually twisted his belt.

"We had no support, no supplies, and were cut off from the mainland. We were like an isolated island."

"My lord mage, your task is to set up a teleportation node to ensure my safety."

"Instead of worrying about other trivial matters."

This guy
Upon hearing this, Adele gritted her teeth, a fire burning within her.

Weiss, like the traditional old aristocracy.

They are the kind of people who have some conscience, but not many.

Faced with such a shameless rogue who has no psychological burden, she was clearly powerless to respond.

but
"Fuck you!"

The next instant, the sandbag's fist swept through the air.
Zachary appeared on the city wall at some point and punched the city lord in the face.

boom--

"What do you want to do? Are you trying to rebel?!"

Weiss collapsed to the ground, clutching his bleeding mouth and nose as he roared in anger.

"Ha, a rebellion?"

With his tough-guy style, Zachary grabbed the city lord by the collar, suspending him over the edge of the city wall.

Do you know who my boss is?

He scoffed and continued:

"That is His Holiness the current Pope."

"Even if I strip you naked and execute you on the spot, I can still pull some strings and get out."

"I'm telling you, you didn't want this to happen, did you?"

Please calm down, Stardust Society investigator.
Upon hearing this, Lord Weiss broke out in a cold sweat.

After a month and a half of buzz, everyone knows Ron's name.

He was not only a Level 1 Investigator of the Stardust Society, but also had a close relationship with the president of the Stardust Society.
At the young age of 16, he was chosen as Pope by the Holy Light Church.

Furthermore, she supported the current queen's ascension to the throne.

In the Kingdom of Oran, his power was absolute; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe him as a powerful force hidden in the shadows.

Zachley, Adele, and another young man named Will were once subordinates of this "black hand".

Although Weiss wasn't afraid of the tough-guy style of Zachlee executing him on the spot, he even secretly looked forward to it.

But he was afraid of Ron.

I'm even more afraid of Zachlee's backdoor techniques.

"You son of a bitch, let me go!" Lord Weis kicked his legs twice in mid-air, winking at the soldiers guarding the city gate. "Bastards, why aren't you opening the city gates to let those lowly commoners in? Do you want me dead?"

now it's right!

Crunch——

"The city gates are open! The city gates are open!"

As the heavy city gates slowly opened, cheers erupted from the crowd of refugees.

Some men were holding their wives, and some women were holding their children. They were pushing, jostling, and trampling, trying to squeeze through the city gates before the monster arrived.

Upon seeing this, Zakri initially wanted to maintain order to ensure efficient passage.

But just as he was about to do so, he suddenly heard Adele beside him say anxiously:
"Zachley, look down at the main road!"

There, fine cracks appeared on the main road, which was only eight or nine hundred meters away from the northern city.

The frozen earth cracked open layer by layer, and huge, twisted creatures with hard scales suddenly emerged from the ground.

Damn it, when did these things start burrowing underground?!

Zach's eyes widened, and his heart seemed to skip a beat.

The fact that they could carve out an underground tunnel in the permafrost that is covered by ice and snow all year round means that the walls of the northern city are just a slightly harder obstacle for these monsters.

You don't need many; just one tunnel from underground into the city will be enough for the monster black tide to swarm in.

At that point, even if we don't accept refugees, let alone accept them, Northern City definitely won't last an hour.

"Damn it! What are you all standing there for? Fire the cannons! Fire the cannons!"

"Smash those damn things!"

Lord Weiss quickly got up from the ground and immediately issued orders.

However, Zack reacted even faster than him.

He swooped down from the city wall and drew a greatsword from his magic pocket.

click-

In the blink of an eye, it covered a distance of eight or nine hundred meters and instantly cleaved a twisted, scaled monster in two.

The greatsword, shimmering with layers of magical light, almost without paused, abruptly turned a right angle in mid-air and swung upwards with a fierce strike.

puff--

Black blood with a strong, pungent smell sprayed out as Zakri beheaded a monster that was trying to ambush it.

But just then, he suddenly felt a pain in his left leg and looked down to see another twisted creature emerge from the ground and bite off a piece of flesh from his calf.

Damn!

Injuries are inevitable, or rather, that's the norm on the front lines.

A single twisted monster is not enough to pose a threat, and even a small one can be taken down by a well-trained squad.

However, there are simply too many of them.

So many that they covered the mountains and fields, so many that even after killing wave after wave, they did not decrease in the slightest.

"Zakri, come back quickly!"

Adele's shouts came from the direction of the city wall.

As the earth trembled, countless shouts and murmurs flooded Zachlee's mind.

In an instant, the monster army, like a black tide, was only a few dozen meters away from him!

They dragged their severed limbs and trampled over one of their companions without a care, their overwhelming presence like dark clouds pressing down on a city, instilling a profound sense of despair.

Zach quickly retreated, but stopped abruptly halfway back.

Because those shelled monsters that can burrow into the hard frozen ground have re-entered the earth and are rapidly making their way towards the base of the city walls. Damn it, what's the point of getting back into the city if we don't deal with these things!?
Rumbling--

The city wall, built of bricks and stones and worthy of being called an antique, suddenly shook with a loud bang.

But Zachlee clearly didn't care about any of that anymore.

Monsters surged in like a tide, stretching out their sharp claws to tear at his thighs, arms, and torso, as if they were desperately craving the warm flesh and blood of a human.

A wave of despair washed over Zachlee, his ears filled with the sounds of crumbling bricks and the roars of monsters.

Finished!

The twisted creatures surged in and overwhelmed him; he wanted to close his eyes and wait for death in despair.

But in the next instant, a blue light flashed, covering the entire plain.

In an instant, Zachary felt the stench that had been looming over his nose turn into a fragrance, and the hard, sharp, rotten, pus-oozing monster's claws suddenly softened.

The roars and whispers that had been ringing in my ears suddenly turned into soft moans.

This feeling!

It's him!

Zach suddenly opened his eyes and saw an overwhelming number of blonde little girls.

He had seen this move before; it was Ron's signature move!
"Roar!"

He was overjoyed and suddenly let out a battle roar, kicking more than a dozen little girls away as he looked up at the sky.

A giant floating city silently hovered above the northern city.
The man's figure had already reached the top of the northern city wall.

It's really him!

Zachary was greatly shocked, feeling that Ron was now many times more terrifying than before.

"Sky Castle, create a hurricane."

Giving the command in his mind, Ron raised his hand slightly, summoning golden holy flames.

As soon as the flames landed, aided by the sudden appearance of the hurricane, they expanded rapidly, as if fueled by oil.

In just a few breaths, the countless little Luo Li were reduced to clumps of white ash.

[Proficiency +3662]

At this moment, the overwhelming power that could almost annihilate everything, and Ron's invincible figure, were deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.

"Everyone, don't be afraid, I'm back!"

He turned his back with a resounding thud, waving his hand without taking a single cloud with him.

Upon seeing Ron's retreating figure, Lord Wess was filled with excitement and called out loudly:

"who are you?"

The blond boy froze, realizing that most people couldn't recognize him from behind.

Then he suddenly turned his upper body and gave a thumbs up.

"it's me!"

!!!

Seeing this guy who seemed to be the leader stagger back several steps and finally sit down on the ground, he was so surprised that he couldn't even close his legs.

Ron felt instantly satisfied.

In Olivia's words, that's all he's capable of.

Upon seeing this, Adele excitedly went to greet them.

"Your Holiness the Pope, you've finally returned!"

"Madam, you don't need to be so polite."

Ron nodded slightly.

This was not the first time he had cleared out these monsters within the territory of the Kingdom of Oran.

The special nature of the "Sky Castle" allowed him and Olivia to instantly cross numerous oceans and return to the kingdom's territory just hours ago.

However, since it was my first time here, the location of "Sky Castle" wasn't quite accurate.

So Ron waited for a while and let it scan the terrain of the Kingdom of Oran.

No sooner had the terrain scan been completed than the virtual map showed a large number of monsters entering the heart of the kingdom from the northern border.

Ron could only clear the way while gathering information.

The area near the northern city is the last gathering place for monsters.

Luckily I got back quickly, otherwise these monsters would have really given the Kingdom of Oran a hard time.
Ron secretly rejoiced.

He didn't linger; his former team members simply nodded, and he flashed back above the "Sky Castle."

It's the so-called first time to be born and second time to be familiar.

Since these monsters can be produced continuously, the bodies of the ancient gods must have played a significant role.

How could Ron Griffith possibly let go of such a good opportunity to level up his skills?
"Sky Castle, leap into the deeper world, detect divine power fluctuations similar to those of the Goddess of Life's head."

-

Three days later.

The Pope's return after a long absence caused an extraordinary sensation in the capital.

Along with this came good news personally announced by the Pope.

The monster wave that had plagued the kingdom for over a month has been completely resolved.

People firmly believe that this is a miracle sent down by the Holy Light God.

Inside Hainlet Castle at this time.

Ron’s female friends were all crammed into Her Majesty the Queen’s study.

This even includes Afra, the leader of the cult.

"You mean the end of the world is coming soon?"

You're just an envoy, aren't you?

Catherine frowned slightly, clearly surprised by the news.

“That’s right, Miss Catherine. This is the testimony of the Compassionate Mother, one of the Ten Mystic Masters.”

"And the temple will not be restarted."

Ron's gaze swept over the five women in the room, and he continued:
“I have already explained the specifics. Next, I will search for Fiona with Ms. Olivia.”

"So what do you need us to do?"

At that moment, the witch suddenly raised her hand and asked a question.

When Ron looked at her, the allure in her eyes seemed to melt into gentle water.

"Little one, I never knew you'd grown up so much!"

"Now, whatever you order me around, I'll do it!"

Damn it, you woman! What time is it?!

Ron's lips twitched, suppressing the erotic scene in his mind, and he said in a deep voice:

Before I leave, I will leave the 'Sky Castle' behind.

"I need you to work with the federal government to build defenses, and I have already communicated this to those congressmen."

That's right, physical communication.

"Velex and the Elf Queen will connect with you to share technology and build more shelters before the apocalypse."

Upon hearing this, Afra raised her hand and said:
"But... will this even work?"

The snake was clearly disheartened by the impending doom that even the compassionate matriarch couldn't resolve.

"We have to do something, it's better than doing nothing."

The nun was clearly very enthusiastic about it.

Well, although Saint Eileen has some little-known quirks.

But he is, after all, a white-robed archbishop of the Holy Light Church.

It is my duty.

Seeing this, Ron finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as these women don't start fighting, everything is fine.

"Alright, Ms. Olivia and I will set off immediately. Everything behind us is in your hands!"
