Chapter 274: Inferno Burst

"What's the point of this? His soul has already been destroyed—what use is keeping more memories?"

In the continent's system, a living being is composed of body, spirit, and soul.

That so-called memory is essentially spirit, at most slightly enhanced by his superior creation spell and a few soul fragments.

It's nowhere near a true soul.

Sharon had just been tortured not long ago, and now she's performed another complex ritual.

She was utterly exhausted, drowsy and on the verge of sleep.

"Who knows?"

With that, she tilted her head and fell asleep.

Luo De did not strike her again.

He gently picked her up and laid her on the sofa.

His fingers softly brushed her small hand, using the 【Grass Domain】 to aid her recovery.

【Sharon's obedience toward you +2, current obedience: 64】

After roughly half an hour of rest.

Sharon awoke, fully refreshed.

The two wasted no time and immediately planned to resume their destruction of the botanical garden.

They left the 【Li Oumeng Secret Hut】.

Though they had spent nearly seven hours indoors, the sky of the Fear Field showed no change.

Still two gray-white moons, a dim sky, and the ground littered with bones and blood.

Luo De activated the Crystal Swan's 【Group Flight Spell】.

The two soared through the sky, officially heading toward the distant botanical garden.

"Fortunately, none of the 【Frayed Discs】 inside the botanical garden were destroyed—we only need to place the activation staff, and we can restart it immediately."

Sharon said after a brief sensory check.

"The problem is the plague beasts—if they regroup and return in force, we won't get a chance."

Luo De reminded her.

"True—we need a way to lure them away."

BOOM!!!!

No sooner had the words left her mouth than a thunderous explosion erupted from the direction of the spider-plague beast battlefield.

Both froze mid-flight, turning to look far off.

There, a red sun blazed in the sky—as if the heavens had been torn open—a blinding light instantly illuminating the entire Fear Field.

It was like a solar eruption.

An indescribable surge of energy exploded outward from the epicenter, raging like a furious beast, sweeping across the land in a visible shockwave.

Even at this distance, they still felt the searing heat wave rush toward them.

Sharon's face turned serious.

"That's a legendary spell—【Inferno Burst】."

"I saw dark elves in the Spiderweb Ruins—could it be them?"

"Impossible. The path to legendary mage is tightly controlled by the Athelon Kingdom and the Celestial Flower Nation; there are virtually no non-human legendary mages."

"Could it be those Bahadur students we encountered before? They just reached seventh tier—I don't think they have this kind of power."

"Not necessarily their own power. Bahadur has many tricks; having a spell similar to the 【Frayed Discs】 isn't surprising. Besides, legendary mages never enter extradimensional spaces."

True.

Luo De nodded.

Legendary mages are pure glass cannons—every spell is devoted to maximizing magical power and ultra-long-range casting, their entire lives spent chasing ever-stronger spells.

Extradimensional spaces, with their extreme complexity, are only ventured into by death-defying arcane mages studying them.

This was mentioned before.

Arcane mages are a more traditional, ancient school; they differ little from pre-sixth-tier mages, just with more advanced techniques.

Legendary mages and domain mages—one offensive, one defensive—each have reached the extreme, the ultimate specialists, and the pinnacle of human magical research.

No sooner had he finished speaking.

The battlefield shifted again.

In the sky closer to the botanical garden, a vast, swirling cloud of scorching ash rapidly formed.

It spread downward at astonishing speed, covering half the botanical garden.

"Another legendary spell."

Sharon frowned.

Luo De was about to speak when he sensed something, turning his head toward the ground nearby.

A smile spread across his face.

"Look—why not just ask them?"

Sharon followed his gaze.

At the edge of the Spiderweb Ruins, she saw a dark elf with a giant spider's lower body frantically fleeing, pursued by five familiar faces.

The five students of Bahadur Magic Academy.

Sharon's face also broke into a smile—though it carried cruelty and killing intent.

Without hesitation, she activated her flight spell and shot toward the ground.

Luo De naturally followed.

He knew he needed more experience fighting seventh-tier mages, and he didn't believe all seventh-tier mages were like Amel.

His feet triggered the Repulsion Technique with a sudden burst of force.

Combined with 【Agility Boost】, his speed instantly surpassed Sharon's.

THUD!!!

He crashed into the ground like a cannonball!

The spider-mutated elf Yuna was startled by the violent tremor and shock, frantically using her eight legs to brake—barely avoiding a fall.

Her face was filled with panic and fear; she glanced behind at her pursuers, then ahead at the blood and bones ahead.

For a moment, she hesitated.

Then, from the large crater ahead, a man slowly walked forward.

His handsome face, rivaling an elf's beauty yet radiating rugged masculinity, came into view first.

The man smiled and nodded at her, then looked toward the five black-robed humans behind.

Yuna froze, her heart skipping a beat.

Behind her,

the five Bahadur students also halted, blocked by Luo De.

"Human? Or a spiritual warrior? Friend, you're in the wrong place."

Bald Andru spoke first.

He looked terrible—his head swollen grotesquely, like an alien.

Upon inspection, it was caused by fecal fluid seeping into his nasal passages, forming a tumor near his skull.

No big deal—he could just visit a druid doctor back at the academy.

"Wait—isn't this guy kinda hot?!"

"Not kinda—he's super hot! The ultimate manly type!"

"Bro~ I'm a second-year student at Bahadur Magic Academy—can we exchange contact info~~?"

Luo De's appearance was devastating.

Three female students instantly became infatuated, winking, fluttering lashes, sending covert glances.

He paid them no attention whatsoever.

His peripheral vision kept stealing glances at the cute face of the spider-mutated elf beside him.

Spider. Dark elf.

Two desires fulfilled at once—perfect.

If dark elves are elves, then this face is exquisite!

Just a bit underdeveloped in figure.

But girls grow—just not like Zombi Selina, who's permanently fixed in form.

"Stop staring at the girl's chest, Luo De."

Sharon arrived late.

She landed and immediately exposed his trick, speaking coldly.

Yuna, hearing this, froze slightly, blushing, turning away and pressing her hands to her chest.
