Iz, even you wouldn’t be able to take that, would you?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Cang decided he would go observe one of Lu Luwei’s battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to see this opponent with his own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Iz, what happened with Meiser?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meiser...

The most outstanding Mage in History...\" A strained smile formed on Meiser’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Izparut’s consciousness spread out. \"Is that so? To have an admirer like you is, perhaps, my greatest sorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no desire for those who admire me to use Magic to commit undue slaughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blood-red Magic Staff materialized in Meiser’s right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True, a genius like you wouldn’t understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could never comprehend the pain of us who pursue the Root Source...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you know? I was once a genius, too. It took me only six years to become a Level 5 Mage, admired by thousands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it wasn’t until I reached Level 5 that I realized my thinking was wrong. My path could not prove the true Root Source... it was all just wishful thinking on my part.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my pursuit of the true Root Source, I tried many methods...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think I wanted to kill people? No. I didn’t want to kill them. If they were meaningless to the pursuit of the Root Source, I wouldn’t even have the interest to glance their way. Why would I kill them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I had to do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I had to prove something. I had to prove that the Root Source is independent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to prove that the Root Source itself is a concrete existence! I must extract Root Magic from ordinary people who know nothing of the Root Source to verify my hypothesis!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the most outstanding Mage.

Why don’t we discuss our insights on the Root Source?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re all Mages. Why must we fight to the death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be curious about my research.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must want to know what kind of Source I’ve managed to explore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In truth, we don’t have to fight to the death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You and I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough.\" Iz’s consciousness sent a slight tremor through the heavens and the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It cut off his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am interested in your ideas, but...
