You call this magic?

Guval first looked around blankly, then raised his gaze to the sky.

There, the girl stared coldly at the demons below. At this moment, it was time to release magic.

Guval clearly felt the abnormal accumulation of magic power in the sky, so he released a [Murderous Magic] into the sky without thinking.

However, the [Murderous Magic] from eighty years ago had already been thoroughly studied by humans, and Philen simply released a defensive magic that completely blocked it.

Seeing this, Guval's second reaction was to run. If the magic power really hit him, he would have no other choice but to die instantly.

However, Guval immediately discovered that several magic ropes suddenly emerged from the ground around him, binding his hands and feet tightly to the ground. Although the binding effect was not strong, even it would take time to analyze and break it.

No matter how short the time is, it is still time, but the person above is obviously not going to give it time.

A huge quadruple magic circle formed in the air, with its center pointed towards Guval. As if calibrating the direction, a thin line of magic was aimed directly at the center of Guval's body.

The wind stopped, and the sky suddenly became overcast, as if even the sky was trying to witness the first release of this magic.

"[Starlight Breaker]."

Philen recited the name of the move without any emotion, and then pointed his wand at the center of the magic circle.

In an instant, Guval's vision was covered by light.

What is the range, how powerful is it, and how fast is it?

It had no time to think about these things, because the moment it was swallowed by the torrent of light, its consciousness had completely disappeared between heaven and earth.

On this day, everyone around who could see this magic fell into a long silence.

That exaggerated magic actually took away the sun's brightness for a short period of time during the day.

Ethan and Fulilian stared silently at the cliff that had disappeared from the map. Ethan spoke with difficulty:

"Why don't we just seal this magic for now? It's a bit outrageous."

"No, just make sure she controls the output and range of her magic power." Surprisingly, Fulilian gave a positive evaluation. "If the Demon King resurrects, this move will be perfect to destroy him to pieces."

"Goodbye, a dead demon king is a good demon king."

"Too."

Volume 3: The Fall of Fulilian (Part 2): Chapter 21: Temporarily Shelved Travel Plans

Phelan is in free fall.

If she were to fall to the ground like this, she would probably be broken into pieces.

This was also the first time she released the most powerful magic she currently possessed, [Starlight Burst]. In order to ensure that the strongest magician in the Demon King's army eighty years ago was definitely eliminated, she did not care about accurately controlling the output of magic power. If it escaped, even if there was a one in ten thousand chance, it must be eliminated.

Now, she even lost the ability to fly freely. However, the strong feeling of weightlessness did not cause her too much trouble. After all, she had long been accustomed to it over the years, and there was not even any fear on her face.

The next second, her falling speed began to slow down, until finally, she calmly stopped about two meters from the ground, hanging upside down.

However, her long skirt and top were clung to her body in an anti-gravity manner, with no risk of exposure at all.

"It's you again." Even though he was hanging upside down, Philen's tone was as calm as ever, "Yubel."

"After so many years, I actually hope you can call me Sister Yu Beier."

The space was in chaos, and Yubel's tall figure appeared. She had mastered the magic of [Teleportation] to perfection. No one, including Ethan, was better at this magic than her.

Although You Beier often smiles when interacting with others, she always gives people an expression that is not a smile on her face, especially her eyes, which seem to be observing the other person at all times and in all places.

In fact, it is indeed easy for her to find the opponent's weaknesses in battle.

But when she was interacting with her companions, a rare warmth could be seen in her eyes.

Especially when she is with Philen, there is a hint of playfulness in her eyes.

"Did I really scream?" Philen seemed to speak seriously.

"Uh, forget it. It's just a joke, why take it so seriously..."

Yubel exhaled, put Philen down, and after he fell flat on his butt, he smiled and stretched out his hand: "Can you still move?"

"No."

"Well."

Just as Philen tried to grab Yubel's hand and climb up, she found that the hand slid back as slippery as a loach, causing her to fall on her butt again.

"???"

Yubel raised her eyes, pointed her wand at Philen, whose cheeks were puffed up on the ground, and then her body floated up uncontrollably along with her wand.

"Wait, couldn't you take me in a more gentle way?"

"How is this not gentle? It's much gentler than dragging your feet along the ground."

"..." Receiving Yubel's gaze on his chest and that slightly sour tone, Philen straightened his chest instead, and finally got what he wanted and saw the unwilling look in those playful eyes.

The winner of this time is Philen.

The reason why no one else took action was because after Ethan's return, Yubel and Philen were trained as teammates. Both sides had to have complementary abilities, complementary personalities, and most importantly, the habit of protecting teammates. So once one side got into trouble, the other side must immediately launch a rescue.

"Since Philen's magic power has been exhausted, let's go back on foot."

Ever since she learned the [Apparition], Frelian was basically too lazy to walk. She would even use the [Apparition] to go to the bathroom. Until Ethan couldn't stand it anymore, he would take the time to place an [Anti-Apparition] space blockade in Frelian's room every time he arrived at his accommodation. Only then did Frelian start moving obediently, and he would not stop until Frelian stopped abusing this magic.

Later, Ethan even threatened that anyone who dared to abuse [Teleport] would be punished the same as Fulilian.

Moreover, Ethan knew very well that this magic was too practical in this world. Apart from the five of them, no one else should be allowed to learn this magic. Otherwise, a country without [Anti-Displacement] would not be able to stop the enemy from teleporting into the country for a large-scale sneak attack.

Fortunately, he used [Transfer Magic] to teach magic. If he wanted other magicians to learn this, he would first have to overturn their views on magic. Moreover, because the systems were different, they would not be able to reproduce it even if they studied it.

It feels like a black box.

Yes, even Celie was the same. After studying it for a few years, she found that it was all bullshit. These things were just like the magic of the demons. Humans could not use them, no matter how imaginative they were.

If you want to break through this barrier, you can only use [Transfer Magic], which makes Celie completely helpless against Ethan.

We arrived at the nearest village and bought a carriage to leave amidst the villagers' profuse thanks. Because we were able to resolve the issue very quickly, it was not yet evening when we reached the nearest town.

After a short rest, the next morning, when Philen's magic power was fully restored, they used [Teleport] shortly after leaving the town on foot, covering a long distance and instantly returning to the suburbs of the capital of the Central Kingdom.

Yes, such a long time has passed, but they have not yet officially started their journey to "heaven", and there are deep reasons for this.

The most important reason is the cheating magic [Teleport]. However, as we all know, the farther you move, the more precise control you need, and the more magic power you consume.

According to Fulilian's estimation, if she wanted to reach the Demon King's Castle directly, she would have to possess Ethan's current magical power, Yubel's proficiency, and Philen's magic control ability, and in the end she would have to gamble on a lower success rate.

However, it is still possible to travel freely in the Central Kingdoms. It is not a big problem to cross the distance between two cities with one teleportation.

But it is different in the northern countries. You have to hold a pass there and calculate the time required to travel between cities like ordinary people. If you teleport there, the checkpoint sentry will think that the pass is forged.

After all, every city in the northern countries has a barrier that reaches directly to the sky. If you want to enter the city normally without causing any damage, you have to follow the formal procedures, unless you sleep in the wild the whole time.

Stop it. Even if Ethan was fine, he couldn't bear to let a few girls sleep in the wild with him.

When the time comes to set off, they can just teleport from city to city until they reach the checkpoints of the central and northern countries. This can save a lot of time. Fulilian thinks this is very convenient as she doesn't have to spend extra time on the road.

The second is Fulilian's strange attitude. She doesn't seem to be as positive about going to heaven as Ethan imagined. When Ethan asked about this, he couldn't see anything unusual in her answer.

Volume 3: The Burial of Flillian (Part 2): Chapter 22: What Magic is Recorded in the Grimoire?

The small wooden house located in the suburbs of the central royal capital had already been expanded. It was very large and even five stories high including the basement, which was enough for the five of them to live in. It was usually covered by a more stringent magic barrier. Only the five of them could find the right way within the barrier. Passersby would just go around and around to get out, basically eliminating the possibility of accidentally entering.

Solitaire has now completely become Fulilian's magic assistant. Through the mutual exchanges between the two over the years, the magical abilities of both sides have made great progress, especially the information about the demons, which Fulilian has basically squeezed out of Solitaire's mouth.

Although they have made great achievements in the field of magic research, these two have not brought a penny of income to the family. It is basically all expenses, and magic props account for the majority of the money. The small warehouse of Fulilian has become a large warehouse, which contains many rare magic props. If anyone likes one of them, they only need to say hello and they can take it away. Fulilian is not a dragon, so she can collect things that others cannot touch.

"Do you have any plans for tomorrow?" At the dinner table, Fulilian asked while tasting the mercury pudding that Ethan made specially for her.

"Not yet." Ethan shrugged. Now he, Philen and Yubel all have official positions in the Continental Magic Association, and their salaries are basically used to supplement their family income. Fortunately, at their level, they can apply for funds for magic research, and Celie will basically approve them. His situation is special, and he doesn't even need to participate in the association's tasks.

In other words, they are just drawing a salary without working.

She knew that the money would eventually go into Frillian's laboratory, but it didn't matter, as long as it was not nominally given to Frillian.

What an awkward pair of master and disciple.

"Then help me run to Rygel Canyon," Fulilian said. "There's a red mirror dragon there. Go kill it and bring back the contents of its nest."

"Is this what Master is looking for?" Ethan asked curiously.

"That's pretty much it. It's a magic book. The adventurer we recently hired brought back the news." Fulilian said as she ate. "That thing has already eaten several adventurers. Ordinary adventurers can basically not get close."

"I see."

This was not the first time that Fulilian had been assigned a task suddenly like this, and Ethan had no objection to it.

As for his teacher, Ethan basically agreed to her reasonable requests unconditionally.

Of course, it is impossible to cancel [Anti-Phase Change].

"I want to go too!" Yubel raised her hand high, "Let me go with you this time, Ethan!"

"No." Before Ethan could say anything, Philen spoke up, "Tomorrow is the fifth-level magician exam. You and I have to be the invigilator."

"……what."

Yu Beier then remembered that she was now a second-level magician and still needed to do this kind of thing occasionally, otherwise she would not get paid.

In the past few years, the two of them have grown extremely rapidly. They directly skipped the assessments for third and fourth level magicians and passed the second level in one go. There is basically no bottleneck at all.

As for the first-level magician assessment, it has been suspended for almost ten years.

This cannot be blamed on Ethan. He has already returned the [Transfer Magic] to Celie. It was Celie herself who decided to temporarily suspend the first-level magician assessment. In her words, it has been given to her, so there is no reason to take it back. But she also cannot let the [Transfer Magic] fall into the hands of others, so the compromise is that she uses the Transfer Magic but not uses it before the expiration of ten years. Therefore, suspending the first-level assessment is the most direct means.

Ethan didn't know whether the first-level magician who failed to obtain magic ten years ago was numb or not, he only knew that Ran Ze was definitely numb.

"Can't I just skip work? I want to fight a dragon, too." Yubel folded her hands behind her head, her face full of eagerness. "I haven't seen a living dragon since I was born. I wonder if I can use its horns to make equipment."

"Probably not," Sollitir explained. "The Red Mirror Dragon is also a monster. Nothing will be left after it's killed. Only extremely powerful dragons will leave behind a part of their body."

"Wow, you're indeed the knowledgeable Solitaire-chan. That's all right then." Yu Bei immediately lost interest and handed the empty bowl to Philen, "I want another bowl."

"Lord Ethan, please be sure to return quickly. Also, please be careful. Even though you're powerful, a dragon is still a dragon." Feilun casually poured half a bowl for Yubel and placed it in front of her under her dissatisfied eyes. "You'd better eat less tonight, or you'll get fat."

"You really have the nerve to say that to me, Fei Lun."

"..."

Philen's eyes suddenly became sinister: "Very good, let's find a place to digest the food after dinner."

"That's exactly what I want. The loser has to work for the other party once."

The others were no longer surprised by this situation. Even though they had learned various kinds of magic, their duels were still limited to general attack and defense magic. The power had also been adjusted, so basically there would be no problems. Whenever there was any dispute, they would still rely on this kind of duel to decide the winner.

Ethan was a little helpless. After all, every time they dueled, they were basically competing for time to spend with Ethan, but Ethan couldn't say anything now.

The next day, Ethan left quietly alone.

With [Teleport], going out was not much different from taking a walk, so when others knew he was going on a "long journey", they didn't react much.

Just like that, when it was noon, everyone gathered together and ate together, which was also the rule set by Ethan.

"Speaking of which, Lady Flillian, do you know what kind of magic is recorded in that magic book?"

I don’t know if it was a whim, but Philen suddenly asked this question.

"The one that Red Mirror Dragon got? Uh, I don't know." Fulilian said, but she already showed a ('ω`) expression.

The others stared at Fulilian for a moment, "Really?"

"Well, I really don't know. After all, I only know that there is a magic book there." Fulilian shifted her gaze.

stare--

"Anyway, you'll know when he gets it back. If you're so curious now, you won't be able to sleep."

After saying that, Fulilian quickly finished her meal and ran away with Solitaire who was watching the show.

"It's very suspicious..." Philen and Yubel looked at each other.

"I feel like Lady Fulilian is hiding something."

"It's rare that you and I see the same thing."

"And it's a bit suspicious to let only Lord Ethan go."

"Looks like we have to find a way."

At the same time, Ethan, who had arrived at the village near Rigel Canyon, suddenly sneezed.
