Wizard: I crush legends with martial arts.

Alphonse fought a fierce battle with Cassobia on the border of Fantalia for more than two days and nights, so how could he not have absorbed all of its death energy?

After Kasobia self-destructed, all of his death energy was absorbed by Alphonse, making him a powerful force under Alphonse's command, even surpassing the Shadow Earth Dragon.

Although not as fierce as he was in life, he still possesses the strength of a mid-level master.

This sword strike, from its appearance, its stance, to its execution, still showed mercy.

A single sword strike cleaved the main road at the mountain pass, causing rocks to crumble and stones to shatter.

The barricades set up by the guards were all reduced to dust, and the road surface cracked and split open, turning into deep fissures.

Few guards were killed; most were injured by flying stones, screaming and shouting in terror as they fled in a panic, wishing they had two more legs.

Alphonse had no grudge against the soldiers of the Kingdom of Izmer and did not want to commit too many killings. Once he broke through this barrier, that would be the end of it.

As Cassobia sheathed his sword, the Shadow Earth Dragon had already rushed over at lightning speed.

Although the cracks on the road were enormous, they were only like small ditches to the massive body of the Shadow Earth Dragon.

Theon stared at Kasobia in utter shock, his eyes glued to him. Even though he was on the back of the Shadow Dragon and was passing by Kasobia at lightning speed, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the mountain-like figure.

Watching him slowly dissipate into the air.

A massive, jet-black current of air, like a dark cloud, returned to Alphonse and vanished without a trace.

Such strength!

A warrior like a giant god!!!

Unlike him, Kaetti looked excited, her eyes filled with a fanatical light as she stared intently at Alphonse's back.

Besides this giant dragon, he could also summon such a powerful warrior.

Unbelievable! How could such a person exist!

That's incredible!

With Alphonse's help, reclaiming the throne would no longer be a dream.

Alphonse alone is comparable to an elite army.

Kaetti now truly understood why Alphonse had the title of Shadow King.

Little did they know that this title was entirely fabricated by the Demon Sword Falbongus.

Unlike Kaaidi and Theon's excitement and shock, the little goblin Megumi only felt a chill run down her spine and a deep sense of fear towards Alphonse.

Theon... how could he dare to cooperate with such a terrifying person?

terrible!

Alphonse, controlling the Shadow Dragon, raced out of the mountain range before turning to Theon and asking, "Which way should we go next?"

Theon swallowed hard, looking at Alphonse who still had an indifferent expression, and quickly pointed out the direction.

Alphonse's strength was terrifying; no wonder he wasn't afraid to show off and dared to ride the giant dragon formed from shadows.

"Lord Alphonse, you must be hungry too. I have some dry rations here." Theon took out some bread, jerky, and a bag of water from his spatial artifact and respectfully handed them to Alphonse.

The difference in their power levels was so great that he had to lower his stance even further in front of Alphonse.

However, she was also happy for her beloved. As long as her teacher could save Lord Alphonse's companions, Kaetti would definitely gain Lord Alphonse's friendship and a powerful ally.

"Thanks!" Alphonse said casually, as he was indeed a little hungry.

Theon's spatial artifact was quite well-stocked. Although the bread and jerky were a bit hard, they tasted better than the dry rations made by the half-demons in the City of Peace, since resources were scarce in the underground world.

In Alphonse's spatial ring, besides the dry rations he had collected in the City of Peace, the only food left was earth dragon meat.

Earthworm meat is a delicacy, so it's not appropriate to serve it to Theon and Kaatee, since we're not that familiar with them.

As they were eating, Theon pulled out a large, multifaceted crystal pillar that was so thick it took two hands to hold it.

You can feel the magical fluctuations emanating from that crystal pillar.

Alphonse walked closer to observe out of curiosity.

Theon didn't stop him. He held the crystal pillar and poured his own magic into it, and the crystal pillar immediately lit up with a bright blue halo.

After flashing several times, a phantom image of a person's head appeared on the crystal pillar.

She was a one-eyed woman with long, wavy brown hair and an eye patch worn at an angle. She was quite attractive and not unattractive, but her facial features were too strong, making her look a bit fierce.

Alphonse estimated that she was over thirty years old.

"Luisa, has the teacher returned to the base?" Theon asked.

The woman named Louisa shook her head. "Master Godin hasn't returned yet. How are things on your end, Chief?"

"We're perfectly safe. We've received help from a powerful figure." Theon sighed softly. "Teacher is back. Contact me immediately! Be careful at the base too!"

Louisa agreed, and Theon then cut off the communication.

"Why not contact Master Godin directly?" Alphonse asked, chewing on his dry rations.

Since Theon has a prism for long-distance magical communication, how could his teacher, the Archmage Godin, not have one?

"I've tried contacting him, but he hasn't responded." Theon sighed, feeling frustrated. "I'll try contacting him again."

The magic was poured into the prism again, and the halo flickered incessantly, but there was still no response.

Alphonse thought to himself, "This is like a fantasy version of not answering the phone."

This communication prism is quite convenient, but I don't know how it distinguishes the people being contacted.

"If this crystal is stored in a spatial artifact, will it still be able to receive a signal?"

"Yes, that's fine." Theon nodded. "This is a magical device carefully crafted by the teacher. I can sense it even inside a spatial artifact."

He sighed again, "I wonder what's going on with the teacher. Logically, since he escaped, he should have contacted me!"

This news cast a heavy shadow over Alphonse's heart. If Master Godin had met with misfortune, then this trip to the Red Forest Party's stronghold would have been in vain, and he would have to find another way to rescue Charibel and the others.

Theon seemed to see through Alphonse's thoughts and quickly said, "Lord Alphonse, don't worry! We were able to escape, so our teacher certainly can too. He's much stronger than me. He's probably just run into some trouble. He set up a spatial marker in our Red Forest Party's stronghold. As soon as he gets away, he'll definitely use spatial teleportation magic to return to the stronghold immediately!"

"Then why can't you use magic or a scroll to teleport me directly to your Red Forest Party's stronghold?" Alphonse asked, puzzled.

"Setting up a spatial magic circle with a specific direction requires immense magical power, which I lack. It was already quite an achievement that my teacher could create a random teleportation scroll without a specific direction for me; those are extremely precious life-saving items, and I wouldn't dare use them unless absolutely necessary!" Theon quickly explained. (End of Chapter)
