Victoria was also an oddity who was recruited by the Dark Wizard Tower, for he too was a genius .

Angele had already checked into Victoria's data from the intel center of the organization .

Victoria gave up his original physical body and created a new one through the blood essence he had collected from more than ten thousand corpses on the battlefield . With his Blood Aura, he could harvest blood from any living beings that were weaker than him .

On top of that, his Blood Aura was a passive ability, ergo uncontrollable .

Like how fishes swam in the water and people breathed in the air .

In other words, people ought to stay away from Victoria as much as possible . The man was a plague, literally .

Turin licked his lips and glanced at the bandits .

Fear came to manifest on the faces of some bandits .

"Turin! It's Turin…!" One wizard apprentice began to flee when he realized who the person was . He seemed to have heard about Turin's tales .

The bandit leader's face stiffened, and he put his right hand into the pouch tied to his belt He was about to activate an enchanted item . He might not know who Turin was, but he knew how dire the situation they were now in just by the look on the wizard apprentice's face .

"Die!" Lifting up his hand, a green fireball materialized and darted toward Turin .

Chi!

Turin released a circle of red light, with him standing right in the middle .

The luminous circle expanded within seconds .

"Kill… him…" the bandit leader shouted as every movement of his slowed down . The man's voice had started sounding older by the second, his skin was drying up, and wrinkles had now covered his face .

Pa!

A wisp of green flame exploded in the air, like a soap bubble .

The bandits raised their weapons up and rushed to the two wizards, but they immediately turned into dried-up zombies in several steps .

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The corpses dropped to the ground, dying as their life energy was completely depleted . Some, killed by the weight of their own equipment .

All the bandits died in a split second . The scene was terrifying, and the women and children within the triangular blockade were frightened .

Turin stood beside Angele to see his face . He wanted to find the expression he wanted to see .

Angele only squinted his eyes and once again put on his hood, all the while showing a callous expression .

"Let's go . There are people waiting for us . "

"As you wish, master . " Turin chuckled and glimpsed at the people who were in the blockade . While some thought that the two wizards were their saviors, Turin overturned it when he raised his hand and gripped the air .

Boooom!

A ball of flame exploded .

The children and woman began screaming, shouting, groaning in pain . All of them were instantly devoured amid the explosion .

The fervent conflagration devoured everything in its wake, burning the carriages into flames and the trees around .

The nearby vegetation was also caught up in the flames .

Not once did Angele turned to look back at the burning carriages, only heading to his carriage straightaway . The people being attacked by the bandits and the bandits themselves were nothing to him . Mortals were mere ants and their deaths meant nothing to Angele . People had all stepped onto ants at least once in their life, but no one would care about their deaths .



Turin was only silencing the witnesses . He turned and went after Angele without looking back .

When Angele returned to the carriage and was opening the door, he heard another carriage approaching from behind his .

He stopped for a second and turned to look to the side .

A silver-edged, black carriage was slowly drawing near, protected by a convoy of mercenaries wearing green leather armor .

"Hey! Friends, what's going on there? What's burning?" the leader of the mercenaries asked aloud when he saw Angele .

"There was a conflict between bandits and several merchants," Turin answered, now standing behind Angele .

"Is that so?" The leader lost interest . He asked several of his members to check up on the situation and put out the fire .

"The situation is worsening . Bandits are everywhere . We have already encountered five groups of bandits, but luck was upon us . None of them were strong . " The leader sighed .

The two carriages began to move . Angele never said anything, knowing that those mercenaries thought that bandits would not attack them if they traveled together .

Angele and Turin had both gotten inside the carriage . They only wanted to reach their destination and thought it would be fine if and as long as those mercenaries did not bring them any trouble .

Riding a horse, the leader of the mercenaries moved near to Ham and began conversing with him .

Ham sighed in response .

"You're right . I've fought on the Reindeer Battlefield . The deserters were much better than these bandits . "

"You fought in the Reindeer War? Me too . Which unit were you in?" The leader found a new topic to get into .

"I was in Unit 13 . What about you?" Ham was interested .

"I was in Unit 12 . I didn't expect to meet a comrade here . " the leader of the mercenaries laughed and began to talk about the things that had happened during the war .



Several minutes later, they returned to their former topic .

"The mercenary group was the one that put an end to the war of the three organizations in the Tarry River region . Did you know that?" the mercenary leader started recounting the stories of the mercenaries .

"I know, actually . The White Sword Mercenary Group, right?" Ham knew the situation back then well . "The White Sword Mercenaries' performance was impressive in the final battle . "

"And their leader, Eagle of the White Sword, crushed the Storm Giant's service troop with his two thousand mercenaries . The first elder of Elemental Hand even conferred him an honorary title for his great deeds for the organization . He's a true legend among mercenaries…" the leader recounted with excitement .

"So, you're saying the Eagle of the White Sword contributed to world peace?"

"That's right," the leader nodded . "The Eagle of the White Sword, Master Augustin, is still fighting alongside his brother-in-arms in the central continent . His mercenary group has the potential to become one of the five biggest mercenary groups on this land . "

Angele sat in the carriage, silently eavesdropping on their conversation .

Turin sat opposite him, smiling .

Angele knew Turin was trying to showcase his power when he killed all the bandits before he could do anything .

The two of them sat opposite to each other without uttering a word .

Angele discovered that Turin had a skill level rivaling a powerful rank 4 wizard and was much stronger than the Wizard Shozo . The man might be as powerful as Vivian without the Legacy Magic Circle supplying her power .

And without his True Form, Angele would have a difficult time overpowering Turin . The latter seemed to have realized Angele's situation, hence the reason he acted with contempt upon Angele .

Even though Angele's backing was more powerful than his, he might not obey Angele's orders if the situation allowed it . Turin only joined Angele's group for cordiality's sake and might not do things as Angele would order .

This case was the same for the other people who joined his group . For example, Victoria and that particular elder of Elemental Hand .

Angele mused on the situation and understood the reason .

He took a glimpse at Turin, who was looking out the window with a bored face .



With the Dark Wizard Tower's contract, while Turin's stronger than me, there is nothing he can do . Angele reached this conclusion in his mind .

"Master, have you ever heard of a group of people who call themselves 'Pathfinders'?" Turin suddenly asked .

"Pathfinders?" Angele remained composed . "No . Who are they?"

Turin despised the thought of being controlled by someone weaker than him . But Angele possessed the Legacy Magic Circle set, so he still came here as a courtesy .

"These Pathfinders all wear gray robes . No one knows what they are planning . "

"Huh?" Angele opened the window . "That's the 'Pathfinder' you're talking about?" His eyes fell on a hill in the forest .

Turin smiled, not saying anything . He didn't want to answer Angele .

Pathfinders were the observers of the world and would only appear around the people who would become someone with a leverage on the world in the future .

*****************************

In the forest, a man in a gray robe was standing atop a hill, looking at the carriage slowly moving along the narrow path .

The window of the carriage opened, and the man inside looked at him .

The gray robe was holding a long cane in his hand when he exchanged eye contact with the man .

The carriage slowly disappeared into the horizon .

The gray robe retrieved a small black scroll and started writing down something carefully with his finger .

He furled the scroll after he finished writing and tapped on the ground with his cane .

Tap!

The man transformed into an enormous gray eagle with the robe and the cane .

The eagle raised its wings and flew up into the sky, soon turning into a black dot and disappearing into the endless sky .
