Archmage

A month later.

The cool body pillow on the bed stretched lazily and said, "I'm leaving. The Ice Snow Empire's ten-year convention is over, and I need to return to handle state affairs. Come by when you have time. The Empire's environment is far better than Kingdom Lands."

Elisa took out an Ice Snow Token, a token even more prestigious than an Ice Snow Ticket, and handed it to Hekate.

Hekate accepted it and slipped it into her pocket. Without the slightest reluctance, she said, "Alright."

"Oh my, what a heartless Little Witch. You turn cold the moment we're done sleeping together."

Hekate was speechless. "We only slept normally. Why are you making me sound like some heartless man?"

"Hehe, talking to you is so interesting. It feels like talking to a man. You don't have any little-girl personality at all."

Hekate rolled her eyes.

"Ah, you look so pretty when you roll your eyes. Do it more."

Hekate could not take it anymore and quickly waved her off. "Get lost already!"

Elisa pinched her little cheek, then her entire avatar turned into a flurry of snowflakes and drifted away with the wind.

Another half a month passed.

Hekate opened her eyes. Today, she had drawn the lifespan-for-Magic Level exchange again, successfully breaking through from a 10-star Grand Magus to a 1-star God of Magic!

Elisa's icy aura truly had miraculous effects. After merely sleeping with her for a month, the violent mana within her had been completely tamed. Now, even after breaking into the Archmage realm, the mana in her body no longer surged wildly and had become exceptionally docile.

Hekate was filled with delight. After nearly four years, she had finally broken through into the Archmage realm!

Then, she began pouring mana into the sun overhead, resonating with it.

Three hours later.

The sun, Soviel, successfully resonated!

Resonance Stars: (Sun Star: Soviel Impact.)

Soviel Impact: Summoned Soviel's flames to strike the target area.

This time, it was not a buff-type enhancement, but a skill?

Hekate rubbed her chin. She could not tell exactly how powerful this skill was, but fortunately, she now had targets to test it on.

Over a month ago, Chaos had actually dared to send people into the Uruk Kingdom to poison them. They were simply courting death. Now was the time for righteous retribution!

"List the names of the masterminds who ordered spies to poison the Uruk Kingdom a month and a half ago."

Zalxus Bobo, Chaos Religion priest, 3-star Archmage...

Shalin Esmeralda, Chaos Religion priest, 3-star Archmage...

Kardak Zavava, Chaos Religion priest, 4-star Magus...

Velos Egbert, Chaos Religion High Priest, 6-star Magus...

Very good. All the names were there.

Hekate immediately resonated with Soviel, and a small burning star began orbiting around her.

"So one name is enough to package them all together," Hekate realized.

This skill was an area attack. As long as she had one of their names, she could summon flames down to indiscriminately strike the area around that target. In other words, anyone near the target would die too!

It felt strangely familiar.

After thinking for a moment, Hekate suddenly understood. This was clearly an orbital weapon!

Chaos Kingdom, Underground Altar.

The enormous Blood Pool churned, filled with countless severed limbs and chunks of flesh.

Several black-robed figures stared fervently at the Flesh Staff soaking in the center.

Shalin Priest kept her gaze fixed on the changing aura of the Flesh Staff. Every bit stronger it became, the more fervent she grew. She said excitedly, "God is about to descend upon this barren land of ours!"

At those words, the other black-robed figures revealed twisted, excited smiles. They all eagerly awaited the god's descent upon this land, so that all the scattered kingdoms could be united as one!

An Chaos Empire would be built in this barren land!

Veros High Priest narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Don't get excited so soon. We have even more to celebrate later. That Mysterious Curse Master and Storm Mage from the Uruk Kingdom—I want to see both of them kneeling at the feet of My God! Make them lick away our humiliation, mouthful by mouthful!"

Thinking of the two mages who had terrified them for more than a month, the priests' eyes turned red with excitement.

Shalin Priest licked her lips and said, "We cannot kill them too quickly. We must humiliate them properly, make them wish they were dead, and let them experience the fear we have endured these past months!"

"Yes, exactly! Hehe!"

However, at that very moment.

In the capital of the Chaos Kingdom, everyone felt as though catastrophe was about to strike. Soviel's light was also far brighter than before, and when they looked up, it was blindingly dazzling.

The people underground were even more sensitive to changes in mana as Magi. An intense sense of danger rose in every one of their hearts.

In an instant!

The previously calm, cloudless sky suddenly split open with a massive hole, as though an invisible giant hand had forcibly torn it apart. Then, an incomparably scorching pillar of light poured down from the opening like a surging waterfall from the heavens, hurtling toward the ground at astonishing speed.

This mysterious and dangerous beam radiated dazzling brilliance, its light so blinding that it was almost impossible to look at directly.

At the same time, an unparalleled aura of danger spread out, blanketing the land below.

Even the mana in the air seemed to have been ignited, burning fiercely.

The entire space twisted and warped beneath the impact of this immense power, as if it could collapse and shatter at any moment.

The people on the ground looked up at the phenomenon in the sky in utter terror. Their eyes were wide, but they were too frightened to make a sound.

After a moment, someone in the crowd finally cried out shakily, "W-What is that?"

Another person screamed in terror, "It's magic! And super-large-scale magic at that! Everyone, run!"

Panic spread rapidly, and people began fleeing in all directions.

Some ran blindly, shoving and crowding each other; others stood frozen in place, having completely lost the ability to move.

Yet no matter how they struggled, that scorching pillar of light continued descending mercilessly, bringing with it increasingly intense heat.

This was the Soviel Impact Hekate had summoned!

The incomparably scorching fire of the sun descended like a god. It burned silently, vaporizing the entire capital in an instant. No one could escape this wide-range attack. The black-robed figures underground were vaporized in a moment as well, while the entire Blood Pool began boiling violently.

The Flesh Staff looked up at the sky and screamed miserably, "Soviel Divine Power? Who is it? Who exactly is it? Aaaah..."
