Spellcasting Gods

Now that the parliament has publicly acknowledged the supreme commander's achievements, it will naturally refrain from taking any further drastic measures against those below him.

"A naming ceremony? So, I can finally have a name of my own!" the boy asked, feigning surprise.

In fact, he already knew from a very young age that a name was just a title, a code, a label used to distinguish people from one another, nothing more.

"That's right! And there are many more surprises waiting for you after the naming ceremony. So... enjoy it..."

After saying that, the old man raised his withered and thin arm and snapped his fingers lightly.

moment!

The entire enormous circular platform took flight, soaring through the sky above the city at an incredible speed.

Just as they were about to reach their destination, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the boy's face. He then pulled out a completely opaque black dagger from his wide sleeve and stabbed it into his back with a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

puff!

With immense force and inertia, the old man's body moved forward uncontrollably for two steps before collapsing to the ground with a thud, taking his last breath.

From start to finish, it didn't even take a second, and a powerful Darent spellcaster died just like that.

Even more terrifying, with his sudden death, the magical energy gathered in his body began to go berserk.

In the blink of an eye, a dangerous energy storm began to relentlessly destroy everything on the platform, from the exquisite buildings and statues to the people standing on it.

"Damn it! What... what on earth is going on?"

"Dead...dead?! Your Excellency, the esteemed councilor, has been murdered!"

"Catch...catch the assassin!"

"Idiot! Run! It's too dangerous here!"

……

Just as everyone was in a panic, Luke, who had been hiding in the crowd, finally lifted his hood to reveal his true appearance, and sneered, "Sorry, none of you are going to escape."

The words had barely left his mouth!

He then forcefully threw out what he had prepared beforehand.

next second...

These seemingly insignificant little things, upon contact with the ground, immediately sprouted extremely thick vines, which then tightly bound the unfortunate souls who were busy trying to avoid the rampaging energy.

Moreover, without exception, everyone who was entangled by these vines found that the energy in their bodies began to flow out uncontrollably and wildly.

Meanwhile, the vines grew thicker and more intelligent, even learning to avoid the areas most severely affected by the rampant energy.

As expected, no one on the platform was able to escape; they all became fertilizer for the vines.

After the last person who tried to struggle was killed, the huge circular platform had been transformed into a dense tropical jungle...

Chapter 1360 Interest

"Perfect! I can't believe that in such a short time you have already mastered the Darrents' research on natural magic, and even added a little bit of your own."

The boy raised his hand and gently stroked a carnivorous flower covered in sharp teeth, commenting with a smile.

It should be noted that there are at least a thousand mutilated corpses on this huge circular platform, many of whom were his former subordinates.

But there was no trace of sadness, regret, or grief on his face; it was as if the dead were just a bunch of insignificant ants.

Similarly, Luke remained remarkably calm in the face of the horrific scene before him, casually replying, "If I were you, I wouldn't be thinking about such meaningless things right now. After all, the highest authority of the Darents is right in front of us. You're not really planning to give them a big surprise, are you?"

“Why not?” The boy grinned, revealing a cruel, bloodthirsty smile. “You must understand, their home planet hasn’t been attacked for thousands of years. They’ve long forgotten how to react if attacked. So for us, this is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With just a gentle touch, we can reawaken the deepest fears and panic in their subconscious.”

Luke's face showed a thoughtful expression: "So... in your eyes, the Darrent civilization is a bit like a nut, extremely hard on the outside, but inside the hard shell lies an incredibly delicious flesh."

“That’s right! Moreover, if their home planet is attacked, guess what they will do?” the boy asked, resting his chin on his hand with a half-smile.

“Of course, it’s to hunt you and me down like madmen, making sure there won’t be a second attack,” Luke said without hesitation, revealing his true thoughts.

For any mature civilization, maintaining social stability is of paramount importance.

Once panic sets in among the people, the previously orderly society will collapse, internal conflicts will escalate rapidly, and turmoil and chaos will inevitably follow.

“Brilliant!” The boy nodded approvingly. “So whatever their purpose, they must consolidate their forces and protect their most important cities. We can then take this opportunity to head to the Dark Lake and uncover the secrets hidden behind history. Furthermore, as they strategically retreat, the Darrents' control over the conquered worlds will weaken, and you and I can use this opportunity to incorporate some of the native inhabitants and gradually cut off their resource supply. Look at this incredibly prosperous magical city; how long do you think it can sustain itself without external resource supplies?”

"Understood! Let's do it!"

Without any hesitation!

Luke poured a large amount of life force directly into the disc beneath his feet, which had been completely overrun by magical plants.

moment!

The already lush plants experienced another period of rapid growth.

When their volume reached a critical point, the boy immediately used the entire disc as a weapon and ran fiercely towards the building that symbolized the highest authority of the Darrent civilization, throwing it at it.

boom!

With a loud bang!

The magical protection surrounding the building successfully destroyed the disc, turning it into a large amount of rubble and dirt that flew everywhere.

However, the magical plants that fell with the soil escaped unscathed, taking root and beginning to devour everything around them.

Especially the Darrent soldiers who were standing at the door and acting as a guard of honor, many of them didn't even have time to react before becoming the first victims.

It's worth noting that during the initial design phase, Luke referenced information he received from his brother, which allowed him to make targeted modifications to all the plants.

So they may be much less lethal and have less ability to grow continuously, but they are able to absorb energy to the maximum extent and then divide and grow.

In other words, all the plants were created specifically for the highly developed magical system within the city of Darrent, making this city the perfect hunting ground for magical plants.

"Not enough! Still not enough! I need to add fuel to the fire!"

Watching the plants spread at a visible speed, the boy seemed somewhat dissatisfied and raised his hand to loudly chant an awkward incantation.

Under his guidance, the abundant energy within the city quickly concentrated, forming a massive black vortex.

Just as the terrifying spell was about to be completed, a deep purple light suddenly burst forth from the building, squeezing everything, including the plants and the roof, into dust particles indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Less than half a minute later, several old men exuding an astonishing aura finally appeared.

One of them, wearing a green tracksuit, roared furiously, "Do you know what you're doing?"

"Hello, Your Excellency Speaker, you've finally deigned to show yourselves. Please allow me to introduce you; this is the brother you've been searching for." The boy spoke with unwavering respect, his tone and manner remaining as if nothing had happened.

However, what he respected was not the other party's identity, but the power the other party possessed.

"brother?!"

When the old man saw Luke's identical appearance, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Not only him, but the other old guys behind him also had similar reactions.

In particular, the deep blue crystal that Luke always wore around his neck immediately attracted countless gazes, some wary, some fanatical, and some greedy.

"Huh?!" The boy's senses were incredibly sharp; he immediately noticed it and asked in a somewhat uncertain tone, "What is it?"

“Don’t ask me, I’m not entirely sure either. But one thing is for sure, it came with me. What, you didn’t have it?” Luke’s face showed a strange expression.

"Ah! I understand! It was you. You stole what was rightfully mine and hid it away." The boy quickly turned his gaze to the mentor who had raised him since childhood.

Under the gaze of those chilling eyes, the latter took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, "You guessed right! We hid it."

After receiving an affirmative answer, the boy grinned and laughed wildly without restraint: "Hahahaha! As expected! I knew you had no good intentions. But it doesn't matter! What belongs to me will eventually return to my hands! For now, I'll just collect a little bit of interest."

The words had barely left his mouth!

He activated the energy cluster at the center of the black vortex directly in front of the enemy.

"No! Stop him!"

"I'm sorry... it's too late..."

Chapter 1361 The Entire Civilization Needs You

boom!

With a deafening roar, the energy vortex was rapidly transformed into a powerful shockwave, which spread rapidly outwards from the devastated buildings of the council.

Wherever it passes, whether it is buildings or life, everything is deformed by the enormous external pressure.

In the blink of an eye, the once bustling center of the magical city disappeared, replaced by a giant crater with a radius of several kilometers and a depth of hundreds of meters underground.

Shock!

fear!

Panic!

A few seconds later, the residents living on the outskirts of the city finally came to their senses and began to scatter in all directions like madmen. Others took advantage of the chaos to loot wealth and kill their former enemies and rivals.

The harsh reality proved that the order and civilization that the Darents had painstakingly built over thousands of years was not much stronger than the enemies they had conquered and destroyed.

On the contrary, they are essentially very similar, with no significant differences.

"Damn it! What... what have you done?"

Staring at the city center, which looked as if it had been struck by a meteorite, the speaker's eyes blazed with fury.

He simply couldn't believe that the boy, who had once been considered well-behaved and harmless, had turned into this crazy person after only a short while out of his sight.

"What am I doing? What a naive and ridiculous question! Have you forgotten those races that were once conquered and destroyed by the expeditionary force? How did you answer when they asked similar questions?" The boy grinned contemptuously and asked in return.

“We are different from them! We are…”

Before the speaker could finish speaking, the boy interrupted him bluntly: "No! You are no different from them in any way, at least in my eyes. You are just luckier than them, having developed more advanced knowledge, technology and power first. So now it is you who are plundering them, not the other way around."

"You want to destroy our civilization?!"

The speaker was no fool; he immediately realized the intense hostility expressed in the other party's words and the dangerous aura emanating from him.

"Hahahaha! That's right! I'm going to destroy you! Enjoy your last moments, because when I reappear, the Darrents will face their final doomsday judgment."

After saying that, the boy opened a portal without hesitation and went straight inside.

Luke smiled and bowed to the spellcasters who were far more powerful than himself, then vanished without a trace.

After the two men had completely disappeared, one of the councilors took a deep breath and said in a very heavy tone, "We were careless!"
