I like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rizzen laughed, and then he started spinning his spear rapidly in front of him. It was moving so fast that it seemed like a helicopter blade was spinning in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blades of light deflected off the spinning spear and broke apart, causing them to slowly dissipate into nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spear Stab!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rizzen stabbed the spear through the air, and it was coming for Della’s shoulder, as he just wanted to incapacitate her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Light Mirror!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della summoned the golden-rimmed mirror from the grimoire and placed it in front of the incoming spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear’s blade smashed into the mirror with a loud clang, and surprisingly, the spear slid off the mirror harmlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Copy Magic: Spear Stab!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, an identical-looking spear shot out from the light mirror—it was the exact same skill that Rizzen had just used—and this one was coming for the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rizzen whipped his spear down and cut straight through the copy, dispelling it harmlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The spear that is copied isn’t as strong as the original, but for him to cut straight through it like it’s nothing is... scary.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della thought with a frown on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At another location, Rock and Raikou were dueling next to tombstones, iron fences, and dilapidated buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hound Arm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock’s arm suddenly turned hairy, and his hand turned into a mouth of sharp teeth and biting jaws that snapped shut with a loud, echoing crunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a nasty power!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raikou shouted, and he then coated himself with shadows, and he started running straight at Rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feed on him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock shouted, and his hound arm shot out towards Raikou, and with its mouth opening wide, it took a large bite out of Raikou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like it swallowed half of Raikou in one gulp, but then the shadow went straight through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow formed back into a person—into Raikou—and he formed a dagger made purely of shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Black Knife!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thrust it towards Rock, but then he sensed something and turned his gaze to the ground, which had turned into a hound as well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I expected that... You fell for my trap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swallowing Ground!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hound on the ground tried to bite off Raikou’s legs, but he quickly used \"Shadow Leap\" and jumped into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Rock’s hound arm punched Raikou directly in the chest and sent him flying through trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh... urgh... Agh...

Expect Raizen’s master to be so powerful... Since he was just someone from the weak, 55th-ranked guild... I expected him to not amount to much...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raikou wiped the blood off his cracked lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the guild master of the powerful 7th-ranked guild in the world, and thus, he should be easily able to destroy the members of some 55th-ranked guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Rock really wanted to, any of the top guilds would want him because of his strength and knowledge in teaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only a member of Rose Records because it was the guild of his granddaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks like you’ve also learned the basics of the Read, but you still have a lot to learn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock said as he walked through the broken trees with his arms behind his back, looking like a wise teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You taught my big brother Read as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raikou asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. I taught him Maxima and Read. I didn’t have time to teach him the rest of the Pillars of Power, but I expect him to have already learned those from somebody else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course he has. My big brother is a brilliant genius. I am sure he would’ve figured out the Pillars of Power without your help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raikou screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Maybe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you taught that little shit Raon these things as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raikou asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I haven’t yet. He has so much to learn, and making him learn Pillars of Power immediately would’ve been like throwing him into the deepest pit and hoping he learns to swim.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Save your energy, then. He has always been a poor learner. Like a good brother would, I tried to teach him some swordsmanship, but haha, he failed to learn anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raikou said with a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You tried, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock stopped smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doubted that it was proper training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden magical circle appeared below Rizzen’s feet, and then one appeared above his head as well, and another on top of that, and one more on top of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Golden Circle: Crash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della pushed her hand down, and then those golden circles came crashing down on Rizzen while the golden circle under his feet stopped him from moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maxima!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rizzen stabbed his spear through the golden circles, destroying them like glass plates, and then destroyed the one that was under his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blades of Light!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della sweated as she pushed herself, and then golden blades shot out from one of the pages of the golden grimoire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hurled through the air towards Rizzen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Read...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rizzen whispered, and with wide-open eyes, he just walked forward, weaving through the light blades effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light blades grazed past him, and some of them were really close to hitting him but eventually just missed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He has learned Read to a very high level... Much higher level than mine...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della thought with sweat falling down her face, and she started to feel some pounding in her head as she was running out of mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mana Recovery!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Elena blessed Della and recovered some of her mana, but it was just a level 1 skill, so she couldn’t recover it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks, Mom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it wasn’t much, that Mana Recovery would allow her to make four or five more magic spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rizzen turned his gaze to Elena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are beautiful too, but unfortunately, I am not into older women, and you’re quite bothersome Helper, so I apologize, but I have to kill you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rizzen suddenly vanished. He ran past Della without her even noticing. The wind that followed him carried the scent of blood and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della whipped her head around and knew that she wouldn’t be able to protect her in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elena’s eyes widened as a spear suddenly appeared right in front of her face. It had a pretty blade, but it was covered in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Basic Parry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Fang Raon lunged forward, knocking the spear out of the way before it could strike Elena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He knew that as soon as I saw her help Della, I would come for her, and therefore, he was already ready to protect her.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rizzen thought as he looked at the face of his younger brother, and for a moment, he was quite impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rizzen smashed the spear against Fang Raon’s shield and sent him flying through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And now you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Elena, but then he sensed something and took a step backward, and one golden blade flew right past his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your fight is with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della pulled out a beautiful-looking golden sword from her grimoire and, with that, pushed Rizzen away from her mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I see... Raon never intended to defeat me... He just planned to buy some time for Della to come and save her mother.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rizzen thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ptui...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After crashing into a tree, Fang Raon wiped the blood off his lips and watched Della fight Rizzen from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She cannot defeat him... I need to do something...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought, and at that moment, he turned his gaze over to Aizen, who was just watching everything in all his loneliness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was alone...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You want to kill me?

He wasn’t smiling, frowning, or showing any emotion at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Stupid son... You think I am an easy target? You still have a lot to learn if you want to lead this family one day.
