Princess Charlotte flew towards the direction of the Aquilia Family's palace in New Heart while holding Glaze with one hand. This was the first time Glaze experienced flight in this world and saw the city from a bird's eye view.
The sprawling city was filled with castles and palaces that looked very old, this was the capital which is why it was mostly populated by noble families and other rich people.
As they flew towards the Aquilia Family, they were already trying to escape, they heard the king's verdict after all and knew they no longer could stay in the Kingdom as they no longer had any protection from the law.
As Princess Charlotte saw them running away she raised her right hand and started to cast a magic, "This is the new attack I have learned after breaking through to the Master Stage , let me what you think , fufu" she said with a smile
Her right hand was covered in black fire and the entire area trembled as the black fire rose above from her hands and the surrounding temperature started rising rapidly, and soon the entire area above the Aquilia Family's palace was covered in pitch-black flames and completely blocked the sunlight.
The members of the Aquilia family felt like they were pressed under the sun as they looked upwards, after that the black flames started to gather towards several points in the sky and converged into small balls of concentrated black flames.
As they hung in the sky they looked like 9 black suns, they descended a huge pressure over the entire city and the onlookers were scared seeing such a scene happening above their heads, then with bated breaths they watched these 9 Black Suns come crashing down like meteors towards the Aquilia Family's house.
There were many experts of Novice stage in the Aquilia family but they could do nothing to defend against a Master Stage attack and could only try to run , the black suns hammered the entire area like 9 nuclear bombs dropped one after the other and the entire area turned pitch black and the surrounding temperature started scorching to unbearable degrees, the surrounding onlookers started to run away and increased the distance .
The entire palace of the Aquilia Family was completely destroyed without a trace. Most of the people who were running away either got caught in the blast and got burnt to a crisp or boiled to death due to the scorching hot temperature. But there appeared to be someone still alive, an old man with grey hair held up a strange seal with a lotus on it which created a barrier that protected some kids under it.
"Hm, so the Aquilia Family had hidden another Expert Stage among them and it looks he is protecting the talents of their family," said the Princess as she looked at that old man with a chilly smile. The barrier was filled with web-like cracks and was barely holding on, after all, even if he was an Expert, he was only Level 23.
"I'll go and deal with him, you can take care of the remaining survivors," said Princess Charlotte looking towards Glaze as she descended and dropped him on the ground.
"Alright , take care" said Glaze to the Princess who flew away to fight that old man, "This Princess is seriously broke" thought Glaze as he walked towards the Burning Palace remains with a smile while everyone else in the area was running away from the area.
This was the first time they had seen a Master Stage being fight and it turns out it was the Princess who had recently leveled up. They were scared out of their minds as this fight was happening in the middle of the city.
"Agh, ugh, go on ahead, run away to Neverwinter," said a man coughing blood as he dragged two girls along with him trying to run away from the black flames, his body was scarred with burn marks and his armor was completely destroyed, the girls' condition wasn't any better.
"Trying to run away are ya ?" said Glaze with an evil smile as he walked towards them, he had never truly let loose since he came here, and he was now itching to shed blood.
The trio looked shocked seeing him appear and got ready to fight.
The man was Level 19, the girls were Level 16 and Level 17 respectively. The trio was, in terms of Levels, stronger than Glaze, they couldn't take him down but could at least get away from him, or so they thought. They started to channel their magic to the fullest in this life or death situation as this might very well be their last fight.
"Sorry, did you think I was gonna let you fight?" laughed Glaze as he raised his right hand and made a finger gun, Holy Destruction Magic started to form on the tip of his fingers filling them with blinding purple radiance that shook the entire area.
"Bang," said Glaze as the energy shot from his fingers and disappeared, then the entire area behind the Aquilia trio was completely destroyed leaving not a trace, even the burning black flames that felt like they were inextinguishable disappeared.
The trio appeared shocked but then realized one of the girls had a gaping hole in her chest, she looked down as her mouth spurted blood and she fell with a thud and died on the spot. The other two were dazed, they didn't even get the chance to fight, the guy screamed "Alana, no noooo, aaaaahhh" said he as he shook the body of the girl with an anguished expression.
The attack went straight through her chest and crashed into the ruins behind her so quick that no one could even see or predict it.
The guy then jumped in rage and roared into the sky and flared all the mana in his body as he rushed towards Glaze " Aaarrgh , I WILL KILL YOU BASTARD , YOU BASTARD HER-" before he could finish, his chest was pierced with what looked like a vine that came from the ground , the vine was glowing with purple light and pierced straight through his chest and stopped him in midair.
This was another attack Glaze came up with that used the Holy Destruction Magic as vines or threads that could pierce multiple opponents at once. As he flared his mana into the vine of destruction magic, it started to glow brighter and destroyed the entire body of that Level 19 Expert Stage man into nothingness.

I am down by 10000 mana, thought Glaze as he walked towards the last girl alive who was on the ground, she was scared witless seeing her two friends die so easily in front of her and knew she couldn't resist this Hero at all.
"P-Please, spare me, esteemed Hero, I - I don't like the Aquilia Family, I was never loyal to them, I o-only joined recently just because they were powerful, I-I have nothing against you. I-I w-will do anything, sp-spare me" said she looking towards the Hero with pleading eyes and tears as she wimped away from him with the blood of her friends on her body.
Glaze looked at her with no emotion on his face, " I'll spare you" said he as he walked away from her.
"Huh, really, T-thank you so much," said she shocked not expecting to be spared and got up slowly and started to walk away with a limp.
"From burning to death by Charlotte's flames that is, I'll give you a quick death instead," said Glaze with an evil smile as he raised his fingers in the form of a gun and pointed it towards her back as she tried to get away.
"Bang"
