Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

Chapter 145 Good Deal :)

"It's good that I'll be leaving the Gaia continent with a piece of good news," Cargil put on a rare smile in the meeting room as Raven, Blondina, and Touma returned and told him about everything that happened.

"Haha, good luck in Astral Land, old man. Don't drop out too early," Touma laughed.

"So what kind of Labyrinth Artifact did you manifest after becoming an Adepta mage? You still haven't shown it to us," Raven said with curiosity in her eyes.

"It's called Moon-Rend, a broad sword," Cargil smiled as he took out an exquisite broad sword with mystical patterns carved on its ethereal night-blue blade and metallic dark-silver handle. "I'll add a tier-5 shield into its slot to see how it turns out."

"That's nice, hehe. Anyway, I'll catch up to you soon. Don't worry," Raven grinned.

"We gotta hurry and retire after surpassing 1st class magician so we can also go to Astral Land," Merax said with a faint smile. "With the transformation in magic labyrinths and new resources like magic crystals, our progress has been really fast. I'm ready to become a 1st class magician."

Blondina and Touma nodded as they were also ready to break through to 1st class magicians.

"I'll leave tomorrow morning for Astral Land, but I will leave the country tonight for some matter at the Magic Guild," Cargil said as he stood up and slightly bowed before looking at everyone with a faint smile. "Don't die halfway; I will do my best to lay the groundwork for future generations like others while getting stronger myself."

…

After half an hour since the conclusion of the incident in Starlight City, inside one of the important guest rooms in the central palace of the Skyward Academy, Zevien was sleeping on the bed while Vernisia, Erica, Dan, and Tigger were sitting at a table.

Zevien's eyes slowly opened as he saw an unfamiliar ceiling and got up groggily. Even though he was healed because of Headmaster Noril's magic potion, he still had to take some rest, so he slept for thirty minutes.

"You woke up!" Vernisia stood up and rushed towards him before hugging him tightly.

"I'm alright," Zevien smiled as he caressed Vernisia's back a few times before gently pulling her away by grabbing her shoulders. "What happened after I fainted? Do you know?"

"No," Vernisia shook her head. "Headmaster dropped you here and left to deal with Blood Sun Organization."

"So, Yowen found their location… haha, good!" Zevien said as he chortled. "Those pests can finally be gone forever."

"Yes," Dan and Erica nodded. "Those bastards… truly without morals to unleash that thing in the city," said Erica while gritting her teeth.

"Let's return," Vernisia said as she pulled Zevien away from the bed and got down with him. "Teacher Karina said that we can leave after you wake up."

"We will have to return to the city with Tigger for his and Kerolin's Magician Growth Boost," Zevien nodded.

…

On the other hand, Headmaster Noril was at the Blood Sun Organization's headquarters and was astonished to see the magically advanced base. "This is definitely the work of some force from Astral Land," he muttered before waving his hand and conjuring an icy spear with black patterns before shooting it towards the base.

*Swoosh…*

The spear hit the barrier first, but it broke the barrier and continued before hitting their watch tower and destroying it.

After that, he flew towards the base at his full speed and used another spell as it conjured a hundred tiny Eye-birds. Eye-birds looked exactly as their name suggested; a round eyeball with wings.

The Eye-birds spread everywhere while Noril stood in one place and closed his eyes to observe all the scenes one by one quickly. He could see all the feedback from the Eye-birds from his eyes at once, but he went through them one by one quickly and found his destination as he quickly broke a wall and entered inside.

The entire base was in an uproar with red alerts, but nobody knew what hit them in such a brief span of time.

Noril found a large hall with many kids that were kept like livestock. He waved his hand to cover the entire hall with his most powerful barrier magic spell.

"I will come back for you after finishing these vile pests," Noril muttered while looking at the kids before he left the hall, breaking several structures, and appeared at the central main hall.

However, after reaching there, he was startled. "You…Gray Swamp clan?"

"Indeed," a man in a gray robe with black patterns said as he stood there nonchalantly. The Supreme Leader of the Blood Sun Organization was standing behind him.

"I will not spare you even if you are from the Gray Swamp clan," Noril snorted coldly as he conjured two spears.

"Hahaha, I know. I am weaker than you, so you can kill me. But the retaliation from our clan will be high," said the man from the Gray Swamp clan as he laughed fearlessly before he narrowed his eyes and smiled. "But we can make a deal as well. A deal where both of us benefit."

Before Noril could speak, the man waved his hand and took out a scroll from his storage ring that flew towards Noril. "Let me and some people return to Astral Land. In return, the Blood Sun organization will cease to exist as per your wish. If you agree, the items listed in that scroll will be yours. I can order someone to bring them here while we stay hostage for you."

'Damn, what a deal!' The Supreme Leader thought with slight excitement before he observed the Headmaster's expression.

"Good Deal," Headmaster Noril nodded with a smile before he put away the scroll.

"Hahaha, I kne-"

*Booom!*

Before the man from the Gray Swap clan could finish his sentence, the spears floating beside Noril flew forward as they pierced him and the Supreme Leader before exploding in countless tiny silver shards that destroyed the entire central building.
