• The black mages debated magical knowledge with impressive rigor, and Lancelot recognized their talent even as he condemned their pollution of the elements.

Lancelot killed the dark magicians at Oma’s auction and freed Charm Fox Patra, whose luck surged and latent talent awakened as she became a Child of Destiny. He left her with a storage ring and urged her to grow stronger, while the massacre was blamed on the Slaughter Divine Church.

• Patra detected Lancelot’s will and searched the audience for the powerful figure she sensed.
• Lancelot unleashed a storm of blade energy, killing Oma and every dark magician in the hall before freeing Patra and restoring her mana.

• Patra transformed into a witch of fear and vanished, while Benjamin arrived at the bloody hall and suspected the Slaughter Divine Church was responsible.

After District 121’s administrator blamed the Slaughter Divine Church for the massacre, Lancelot planned to upgrade his cloak and quietly expanded his killings across the City of Freedom. The Slaughter Divine Church’s followers entered the city to retaliate, throwing Lancelot’s careful scheme into chaos.

• Tanbein blamed the Slaughter Divine Church for the massacre, and white mages stopped publicly condemning the killer.
• Lancelot decided to upgrade the Steel Feather Cloak to five-star ordinary quality so he could create more clones and kill black mages more efficiently.

• The Slaughter Divine Church’s followers entered the City of Freedom and began wreaking destruction, plunging the situation into chaos.

• Lancelot concealed his strength to continue killing black mages and collecting primeval stones, then decided his supply was sufficient to bring [Thunder Dragon King] into being.

After Lancelot’s clones attacked the mage towers, Hetila used Dewushi’s tracking ability to identify the Angpeier Family as the apparent culprits, while Dewushi concealed Lancelot’s true identity. Hetila and the Lord of the Free City mistook the attack for a Veyin Empire retaliation, and the Lord of the Free City ordered the search and killing of the supposed intruders before reporting the matter to Baliewei.
