From Alchemy Apprentice to All-Powerful God King

In the dead of night, frost instantly covered the entire private residence, and the chill was biting.

Greck, dressed entirely in black, unleashed a surge of magic power the moment Matthew appeared, and swung his arm backward in a wide arc.

The sound of wind breaking through the air reached Matthew's ears even before it got close, causing his expression to change drastically, and he immediately withdrew his hands to block in front of his chest.

"A third-tier ability user!"

The terrifying force slammed directly into Matthew's arms.

The next moment, he smashed through the wall and flew out of the courtyard.

It plowed more than ten meters across the ground before finally stopping.

However, the man in black opposite him did not give him a chance to catch his breath. He reappeared in an instant, this time pulling his arms back and slamming them down at him like a fully drawn bow.

"Power Sequence: Pure Physical Ability User".

After making contact, Matthew quickly analyzed the man in black on the other side using the ruthless businessman's guise and discovered that it was Greck.

However, this was also within expectations.

Just as Grek's fists were about to strike Matthew, the latter exhaled a long breath, and a cold, white mist of air billowed out from his mouth and nose.

"You're underestimating me a bit!"

Instantly, magical energy surged from the surrounding ground, and snow and white mist appeared.

"Freeze!"

As Matthew spoke, countless wisps of cold air instantly enveloped Greck in mid-air, turning him into a snowman as he fell to the ground.

This move was something he learned from Warren.

Theoretically speaking, as long as there is enough magic power, it is possible to create a domain by releasing magic power outside the body.

But Matthew can only cover a small area now, and cannot cover an entire indigenous tribe like Warren did.

Fortunately, it's enough.

Grek, covered in a layer of ice and snow, was equally surprised.

He discovered that Matthew's fighting talent and instincts were somewhat beyond his capabilities.

If an ordinary second-tier ability user were hit by his punch, not to mention whether they could stand up, even if they didn't die, they would at least lose their ability to move for a short period of time.

But Matthew just shrugged and then began to fight back, setting up his defenses almost as soon as he was attacked.

"That's interesting!"

Beneath the mask, Greck revealed an excited smile, and the magical shockwave shattered the ice and snow on his body.

However, before he could even stretch his body, Matthew had already appeared in front of him with a hunting knife in hand.

The sharp blade reflected the moonlight, making it particularly dazzling at that moment.

The icy magic grazed the black cloth covering Greck's face, but he managed to avoid it by leaning back and pressing down, leaving only a small cut.

Just as Matthew was lamenting his misfortune, a foot kicked him in the chest at an exaggerated angle, completely outside the normal range of body control.

The next moment, the magic surged forth, and Matthew, caught off guard, was smashed directly into the artificial hill in the yard.

As the gravel rolled down, Matthew quickly regained his balance and stood up again.

"Cough cough..."

But the kick he had just taken to the chest still left him feeling unwell.

This feeling is comparable to physically enduring a high-speed passenger car.

"Um?"

Greck was equally surprised, touching his slashed cheek as blood gushed from his fingertips.

He was actually slashed on the cheek by a second-tier ability user.

Moreover, when I looked at Matthew again, he had already stood up again, and he didn't seem to be seriously injured.

"Freak".

Seeing the scene before him, Grek's expression also became serious and solemn.

He had never encountered a second-tier ability user who could withstand his attacks.

Only Matthew himself knew that if he hadn't used the Heavy Edge Insect to transfer the magical shadow, he wouldn't have been able to block the opponent's attack at all.

But at the same time, his ferocity was also aroused.

As the last rubble fell, Matthew unleashed his magic, simultaneously activating the abilities of the Hidden Slug and the Living Dead Label, and vanished from the courtyard.

"Huh? It's gone again..."

Greck's expression grew increasingly solemn. This was not a simple concealment of his form, but a complete disappearance.

Neither the magical fluctuations nor the aura remained, as if they had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.

The next moment, a cold blade suddenly appeared behind him.

Sensing the chill, Greck whirled around, his right hand, imbued with magic, hurtling past and smashing behind him.

But before he could even touch it, the feeling vanished instantly and then appeared on his other side.

Blood spurted out.

Before he could react, Grek felt a sharp pain in his thigh, and then blood stained his pants.

Immediately afterwards, a chill appeared on the back of my neck.

Realizing Matthew's target, Greck concentrated all his magic power behind him, causing him to swell up.

When the blade appears to touch the neck.

The expected scene of flesh being torn apart did not appear; instead, a sound of metal clashing was heard.

"So hard!"

Matthew held the hunting knife, but found that the blade couldn't penetrate deeply enough to make a cut.

Before he could increase his strength, a rough hand suddenly gripped the blade.

Greck turned to look at Matthew, who was faintly visible behind him, and laughed in a hoarse voice.

The magic insects in the power sequence only enhance their own physical strength and are completely unafraid of things like anti-magic stones.

"Got you!"

Matthew's pupils dilated. Realizing something was wrong, he tried to draw his hunting knife, only to find it held tightly and he couldn't pull it out at all.

At the same time, a fist rapidly enlarged in his line of sight.

Even though he couldn't see it, it still managed to smash down on his head with such precision.

At the critical moment, Matthew released a swarm of exploding bugs and simultaneously mobilized the power of the heavy bugs, concentrating it in his left hand.

He clenched his fist and slammed it down on Greck's head.

Having no other choice, he could only trade injuries for injuries.

Greck looked at the magic gathering on Matthew's fist, initially unconcerned.

But as he got closer, he could see the sparks within the magic without flickering.

Moreover, a demonic insect, swollen to its limit, had already flown towards him.

The next moment, a violent explosion resounded through the night sky.

Smoke and dust rose, and the courtyard collapsed.

The patrolling squad of ability users in the distance also heard the commotion and rushed over.

Everyone in the chamber of commerce was drawn to the sudden explosion and rushed over to investigate.

Until the smoke and dust cleared.

Two figures appeared in everyone's sight.

"Isn't that Grek? Why is he fighting with someone?"

"Who is the other person? The one staying at the Chamber of Commerce's private residence must be a guest, right?"

For a moment, everyone was completely bewildered and couldn't understand the situation.

Greck's black clothes were now smashed, revealing his muscular physique, and his expression was not very pleasant.

He hadn't expected Matthew to be so strong; he had almost gotten himself into trouble.

Matthew, who was behind them, was not having an easy time either.

Although the hunting knife was retrieved, the area between the thumb and forefinger was a bloody mess, and the left hand was limp and hanging down.

The explosion was too close, and combined with Grek's attack, he could already feel many of the bones in his arm breaking.

Just as the atmosphere was tense, another figure crawled out of the ruins.

"Damn it, what are you doing! I'm still sleeping!"

As soon as Luca climbed out, he saw the two people facing each other, as well as a large number of ability users gathering around him.

He then looked at Matthew with a bewildered expression.

"Damn it, you guys launched a sneak attack in the middle of the night? No sportsmanship whatsoever! You messed with Brother Ma!"

But he quickly realized what was happening and pulled out dozens of disposable magical insects from the Ring.

When the people around saw the demonic insect that Luca had pulled out, they all gasped and retreated rapidly in unison.

There was nothing special about them; they were all high-powered demonic insects.

If all of this were released, it would likely affect the nearby chambers of commerce.

Greck also witnessed this scene, and his surprise was no less than that of the first human to discover magic.

These two are both incredibly wicked!

Just as Luca was about to activate the magic insect and inject magic power.

In the distance, Gleeson suddenly appeared out of thin air and hurriedly called out to stop him.

"Young friends, please don't be impulsive. Let's talk first."
