As Paul saw on the previous owner's memories, nobles existed in this world, king's ruled the nation, but of course there are exceptions.
There are 2 exceptions in this continent, light faction and the darkness faction. the king doesn't have ruling authorithy towards these 2 factions, why? because there is someone strong enough to threaten the nation's existence.
When one is strong enough, no one will mess with you, the rule of the jungle applies in this world. The strong preys on the weak.
In this world, as common sense, common mages can only wield 1 or 2 elements. rare ones are those that wields 3 or more elements.
In this world, even though it's a magic world, swordsmen, spearmen, and etc still exist and outnumbers the mages.
only 1 out 100 can be a mage.
As a mage, Paul is one of the rarest, where can command all the elements.
Paul is a registered D class mage and his element is darkness. Paul undressed his dirty clothes and created new black clothrs that he now wore. He created a black coat with hood to wear on his journey.
Paul floated and said "I'll head to the city now before sundown."
Paul was passing by the forest at a speed akin to that of a running man.
He was enjoying the breeze of the air and the beautiful scenery.
Suddenly... He saw a place that was glowing bright red... as he approached he saw a village that was set to fire by a black dragon.
Fortunately, only a few people died, the remaining 100+ villagers evacuated to safety.
Paul raised his hand and put a protective barrier for the villagers to be protected.
After that he raised his left hand and wind magic appeared, he raised his right hand and water magic appeared.
he fused the two magic together.
He blasted wind-water magic from his arms and put the fire out of the village.
....
*roooooaaarrr*, the black dragon was angered as he saw the fire being put out.
Paul saw that the dragon was preparing for another fire breath.
"This f*****" Paul said with an annoyed tone.
He raised his hand from left to right above his head and hundreds of swords appeared.
looking at this amazing sight, the villagers were dumbfounded by this sight.
*swish*
The flying swords flew at high speed, as the swords crashed, booming sounds sounded.
*boom* *boom* *boom* *boom* *boom*
*rooooooaaaarrrrr*
the black dragon roared painfully, and tried to struggling ready to fly away
Paul snorted as he said "As if I'd let you fly away, you're gonna die here and now."
Paul raised both his hands as he said solemnly "I call upon the thunder god, the master of all lightnings, and heavenly tribulation. May the heavenly tribulation strike upon this dragon that slayed innocent lives."
As the sky turned dark, the atmosphere turned gloomy and scary mood appeared on the area.
A silver lightning struck from the clouds to the dragon,
the dragon roared painfully as he fell down to the ground and struggled to keep his eyes open and as if he was fighting for his life.
His eyes, slowly closed and anger was still present from his face.
He will definitely die, he could do nothing but be angry.
He finally died with a face full of regret.
Paul panted heavily as the thunder magic consumed a lot of his magic energy.
"He finally died, that f*****!"
he flew towards the villagers and said smiling while panting heavily "I have a favor to ask you, please take care of me for a while."
...
Under the dumbfounded gaze of the villagers, after he said that he passed out and unconsciously fell on the grass field.
The elder of the village finally got an idea of what was happening and snapped out of it.
"Someone help this young man, no... hero of our village to a place to rest. and inspect his condition".....
His life wasn't endangered and only passed out from casting a spell akin to that of a forbidden spell.
"Elder, it seems this young man only lost consciousness." a villager said with a sigh of relief
the elder and the others also did a sigh of relief.
"Let's start the reconstruction of the village now. we'll sleep on the evacuation area we have near the village!" the elder commanded as if the tragedy was a minor problem.
We can see that occurence like these were common since the elder was calm during this event of ups and downs but a dragon is still a much more rare case of occurence.
They brought Paul to the evacuation area, and put him to bed for resting, They cleaned paul and put new clothes, while they also washed Paul's previous clothes.
After that, they took care of the dragon's body and put it by the side of the village, they'll decide what to do after Paul wakes up.
