Chapter 21: The Unlucky Summoner

  "Hah!..." Saber adjusted his breathing on the spot, although this Wind King's Hammer was an attack that released the seal, it didn't consume magic power, but the instantaneous release of the seal and the attack required his own magic power to pull it off!

  "Wow, you're amazing!! Saber!!" Francis walked over with a smile on his face, turning around to look at the messy surroundings. The attack just now had cleared out a circular area around them! In no time, Francis shifted his gaze to the golden long sword in Saber's hand, and his eyes sparkled "Oh! This is the Victory Sword of Contracts!! So cool!! Hey, Lila!" Francis slowly walked closer to Saber, directly grabbing her shoulder, and leaned his face in.

  "Lia, I have something to say to you, it's been a long time since I wanted to tell you, but I was always afraid you would refuse! Now that it's just the two of us, so..." Francis' gaze pierced Saber.

  "Gulp!" Saber looked at Francis' face getting closer and closer, swallowed hard, her voice trembling "So... wha...t?!"

  Francis grasped Saber's hand and gazed at her deeply "Lily!"

  "Yes!" Saber responded with a red face!

  Francis grasped Saber's hand tightly, staring intently at Saber's flustered eyes "I've wanted to tell you for a long time! I... really like... you"

  Saber's face was getting redder and redder, her mind was already a mess, and the stupid hair on her head was swaying back and forth! It came, should I respond? No, refuse it! It's progressing too fast... This way, but... won't it be too rude?!

  Just as Saber was lost in thought, "Lily! I really like this sword of yours. Can I borrow it for a bit? Just for a little while!" Francis stared intently at the sword in Saber's hand. He had always liked this sword and could be said to have coveted it for a long time. Now that he had the chance, not borrowing it would be a waste!

  "...... Is that all there is?!" Saber's forehead bulged with a blue vein as he spoke in a low voice.

  "Is that all? Will there be anything else?" Francis looked at Saber with curiosity.

  "No way, I refuse!" Saber took a deep breath and regained her usual calm demeanor. "A Noble Phantasm is a hero's life, how can it be lent out?" As she spoke, the golden longsword disappeared from Saber's hand.

  "How petty! Can't you just let it go?" Francis said with a dismissive gesture of his hands.

  "No way! Give up!" Saber remained unmoved, walking forward and directly refusing, "That summoner was hit directly, I'll go take a look!"

  Francis shamelessly followed Saber, constantly flattering her, it seems he still hasn't given up...

  "Whoa~~~~~" The strong wind swept past, and all eight Wind Wolves fell to the ground. The group held tightly onto the fur of the Wind Wolves, preventing themselves from being blown away. "What's going on? How did such a strong wind suddenly appear?"

  "It's not a naturally formed wind, it must be a magical effect, I can feel the magic in the wind!" The wizard clung to the wolf's back with all his might, or he would have been blown away. Despite this, his face still showed a shocked expression "Over there, someone is casting wind magic, what kind of high-level magic is this? I've never seen magical elements so active before!"

  "It must be those two men in black, their target should be the giant eagle in the sky! Oh... God! What is that, you guys look up, look at the sky... quickly..." The big beard lifted his head with a terrified face, pointing at the sky.

  Everyone raised their heads and saw a column of wind as if it were a solid object, ruthlessly shattering the strong gusts and giant eagles.

  After half a day, the crowd was still shocked by the powerful magic, Corris was the first to react "Quickly, let's go over there, that Saint-level summoner is probably already dead! They will leave soon, if we don't go now, we won't be able to see them." After saying that, she drove her Wind Wolf forward.

  "Miss, wait for me!" The dark-faced swordsman was the first to come to his senses and chased after her directly, apparently he estimated that she was the girl's guardian.

  The law master and the big bearded man exchanged a glance, also chasing after him. "You said that magic was of several levels? I've never seen such powerful magic before, it's as if the sky is going to be torn apart!" The big bearded man said with lingering fear.

  The mage next to him shook his head, "I've never seen this kind of magic before, but one thing I can be certain about is that this magic... has already surpassed the level that high-ranking officials can evaluate?" The mage looked up at the sky in front of him with an excited expression.

  "It's not a high-level spell, you can't be saying that this magic... is... is a forbidden spell?! No way! Without the power of a god-tier, it's impossible to cast a forbidden spell!" The big-bearded man was shocked, what kind of background did those black-clothed people have, they actually had a god-tier too?! No way!

  The law master smiled wryly, "Although the holy rank can cast forbidden spells with some special magical tools, such as divine artifacts and magic arrays! However, the power is not so great, they are called quasi-forbidden spells, and the power is far from comparable to this one! So, there must be a god rank among the two people in front!" As soon as the law master finished speaking, the crowd caught up with Kloris, after all, the wind wolf was a summoning beast controlled by him.

  "Miss Corris! That magic is a forbidden spell! One of those two must be a God-tier powerhouse! Do we still need to rush over?" The big-bearded man looked at Corris, and he was somewhat intimidated by the prospect of facing a God-tier strongman.

  "Corris gritted her teeth, "I've also figured it out, it must be a singleton seal! Not going to meet him would be such a waste! A Divine Rank, what an incredibly powerful existence! Even if I get killed, I won't regret it! Besides, those people shouldn't be indiscriminate killers, otherwise they wouldn't have saved me, a mere fifth-rank mage!"

  The swordsman with a gloomy face heard a hint of despair in Corris' words and hastily comforted her, saying "Miss, don't be discouraged, your talent is one in ten thousand! You can become a strong person sooner or later!"

  "It's nothing! I wasn't disappointed, I never had high hopes for myself, my abilities, I still know myself, it's just those people... they're too young, at least find out their background! The power they've cultivated is terrifying, it's possible that there are three young gods! They're too mysterious! Ah... this is..." Corris stopped the Wind Wolf with a shocked expression, looking around.

  A circular area of about ten meters in diameter, all the big trees were uprooted and scattered, the soil was also scattered, with white smoke rising upwards, the whole place seemed to have been swept by a strong wind!

  "This is the place where the forbidden spell was just cast, it's really powerful, and even now the magical elements are still so active!" The mage closed his eyes slightly to feel it, for mages, the forbidden spell was their ultimate pursuit! Casting a forbidden spell with one's own hands was every mage's dream!

  Three of the eighth stage kept sizing up their surroundings "When I go back, I can brag to those guys that I've also seen a god-stage person now, and not just one! Haha" The big bearded man laughed loudly, slapping the shoulders of the mage.

  "For Pete's sake, can't you be more gentle? You're as rough as a beast!" the mage said angrily, being an ordinary mage who couldn't withstand the summoner's few blows.

  "Hurry up! Otherwise, you'll miss the meeting with the God-tier!" Corris looked around again and then drove the magic wolf forward.

  Francis looked at the pieces of flesh on the ground, "The power is indeed great! I can no longer tell which piece belongs to which eagle or summoner!" If Francis from his past life saw this scene, he would probably vomit and lose his sense of direction. But now, it seemed that the influence of the Saiya people's love for blood had taken effect, as he felt a thrill when facing battle and bloodshed. "Although I couldn't find any intact pieces, I can confirm that the summoner is dead... really! Is it too simple? How could someone at the Saint level die so easily? Wouldn't they have some defensive sacred artifacts on them? It's strange! Maybe something happened that I don't know about?" Francis pinched his chin in puzzlement.

  "If it's about this problem, I might be able to answer you, sir!" A silvery voice rang in his ear, and eight demonic wolves appeared behind Francis, several students forcing themselves not to look away in disgust.

  "Oh! You're following me, what do you want?" Francis turned his head, frowning at the leading girl.

  A group of people stared at Francis in surprise! Golden long hair, perfect face, and a clear voice, the girl in front was simply a work of God! Several boys in the team blushed directly! Corris also looked at the two girls in front of her in surprise, born into royalty, with noble blood. Whether it was talent or appearance, she had always been confident that she could not lose to anyone of the same age, but today she was thoroughly crushed! Facing Saber, Corris may have been inferior in strength, but she still had confidence in her appearance and could hold her own against her opponent! But facing Francis...

  Looking at the expressions of these people in front of him, Francis became sullen again, directly covering his cloak and irritably said "Is it good-looking? Answer my question quickly and get out!" The sulky Francis didn't care if the other person was a beauty or not!

  "First of all, thank you for saving my life twice!" Francis put on his cloak and Corris also came back to her senses! "Also, I know the reason why that summoner died!"

  "Oh! Is there another reason for death? Did you guys do it?" Francis carefully sized up the girl in front of him, and despite her being a higher rank than Francis, he easily saw through her with his extremely strong spiritual power. She wasn't someone who could be trained by an ordinary family, whether it was her temperament or abilities! Did she have some kind of divine artifact? Francis rubbed his chin. Hmm, should I take it for myself? But it seems like my face has been seen... troublesome! Do I need to kill her to silence her? Forget it, I'm not a killer! But if I let this divine artifact slip away, it would be too wasteful! Ugh, what a dilemma!

  "You've got it wrong! We don't have the power to kill a Saint-tier!" Corris interrupted Francis' wild thoughts. "Come to think of it, that summoner indirectly died at your hands too!"

  "Oh!" Francis was perplexed "Why? I didn't even fight him!"

  "Does the lord still remember those two magical beasts you killed?" Corris said with a smile.

  "Oh! What does this have to do with the summoner?! Don't waste time, speak quickly!" Francis didn't like this question-and-answer format, especially when it was a woman in front of him!

  "Yes!" Corris organized her words "Every summoner leaves a mental mark on the monster's head when summoning, in order to control the monster's behavior. When you killed those two monsters, it was equivalent to directly destroying those two marks, and the summoner immediately lost some spiritual power. Later, that Earth Ape took advantage of the summoner's weakened spiritual power to resist the summoner's command and escape, consuming his spiritual power again. Finally, that Holy Beast directly broke through the summoner's mental mark, I estimate that the summoner left a lot of spiritual power on it, so after four times in a row, the summoner's spiritual power was consumed too much, directly falling into a coma. And finally being hit by that wind system forbidden spell..."

  "Taboo... is it?!" Francis thought for a moment, and indeed this move was worthy of being called a taboo! "No wonder that Storm Giant Eagle behaved so strangely, now it makes sense! However, that summoner was also quite unfortunate, dying while unconscious, it's a bit pitiful for someone of his Sacred rank."

  "You're joking, dying under a forbidden curse is already an honor for him!" The mage exclaimed excitedly to Francis!

  Being gazed at with deep affection by a middle-aged man, Francis felt a wave of nausea. "Don't look at me like that, it's disgusting! The curse wasn't cast by me, I'm from the Light System!"
