A few days later in Black Forest.
Groups of people successfully escaped from within. Their faces were filled with lingering fear as they looked back at the strange fog behind them. Their expressions were filled with terror.
"I don't want to come here ever again."
"That's right. Who knew that Ronald's strength would be so powerful? It's simply too terrifying."
"Fortunately, we escaped in the end. I don't want to come here for the rest of my life. Also, those guys from Mystic Fire Guild are too despicable."
"…"
In the end, less than 40 people had survived from Black Forest.
However, these 40 people were enough to spread Ronald's name and battle results throughout the entire East Continent.
"Now, I propose that we destroy a squad of the Mystic Fire. Those damned Mages are too despicable. They made us sacrifice so many of our own."
Someone suggested.
In fact, the person who killed their companions was Ronald!
But they didn't have the ability to take revenge. Naturally, they could only vent their hatred on the people from Mystic Fire Guild.
"Let's go!"
The group of Mages made a solemn vow. After filling their hungry stomachs, they rushed to the nearest island to find the people from Mystic Fire to fight. That's right, they were Mages. The rest of the knights did not have any means to protect themselves in the fog. Most of them were killed by Magical Beasts.
At the same time, the group of people left and the entire process took less than a day.
The news spread across the entire East Continent. Many forces in the East Continent already knew the outcome of the battle.
Rags Town.
The streets were bustling with people.
"It's too terrifying. The alliance of over a hundred local forces were completely wiped out, and those who survived were intentionally released. There were less than 50 who managed to escape from Black Forest!"
"My God, Ronald is too strong."
"Exactly. This time, Mystic Fire Guild's plan is going to fail. Also, it's said that Ronald is preparing to attack Mystic Fire Guild in the near future. Do you know?"
"Really? There's only one Ronald. How dare he attack Mystic Fire Guild alone? Isn't he courting death?"
"You have no idea. Ronald killed thousands of knights and hundreds of Mages. How could he be afraid of Mystic Fire Guild? What a joke."
"…"
The entire town was talking about the battle a few days ago.
Hundreds and thousands of allied forces marched into Black Forest.
In the end, less than 50 people managed to escape.
This matter became the topic of discussion for almost everyone.
Some of the forces that had been itching to make a move also suppressed the restlessness in their hearts.
This battle effectively restrained the forces and bounty hunters who wanted to head to Black Forest.
There was no other way!
Ronald's strength was too terrifying!
Even the alliance army formed by so many forces could not do anything, let alone them.
Of course, many smart people had already expected this outcome.
Among them, a portion of the factions wanted to participate in this battle, but they did not do so in the end. At this moment, they heaved a huge sigh of relief and rejoiced.
"Luckily I did not participate in this battle. Otherwise, I would have died long ago."
"That's right. Who would have thought that Ronald alone killed thousands of knights and hundreds of Mages? I'm afraid that even the royal family of the East Continent can't ignore this achievement."
"Next, Mystic Fire will be troubled. It's said that Ronald is about to make his move. Let's wait and see!"
"…"
The forces that did not participate in the battle rejoiced and looked forward to it.
What scale of battle would erupt between Ronald and Mystic Fire Guild?
This piece of news quickly spread to everyone's ears.
"What? You guys said that the group of people who rushed to Black Forest a few days ago were all killed? No, that's not right. There were only 50 people left?"
"Ronald did it alone? He killed thousands of people by himself. This wasn't child's play."
"Holy f*ck, Ronald is too scary. He's a monster. After that group of Mages escaped, their expressions changed when they talked about Ronald. They didn't dare to say much. What exactly did they experience to be so terrified?"
Ronald's battle achievements were spread all over the East Continent.
Some had even contacted the group of people who had escaped from Black Forest.
According to the Mages…
"Even if the sky falls, I will never step into Black Forest again in this lifetime. That place is the territory of the devils. I will never be able to forget that scene for the rest of my life. Even I lost control of my bowels."
"That scene was the nightmare of my life. Ronald was too strong. His slash even severed the fog. You guys have never seen that scene before. It's really too scary."
"On the spot, I was so scared that I lost control of my bladder and my legs went weak. It's not that I'm timid. I believe that the Mages who fled with me at that time would feel the same way."
"…"
In the headquarters of Mystic Fire Guild.
Here, other than Jace, even Sacha was sitting on the sofa, leisurely eating pastries. He laughed heartily: "Jace, don't keep a straight face all day. It's so tiring."
"Sacha, don't interrupt when I'm thinking!"
Jace put his hand on his forehead helplessly.
Just as Sacha was about to speak again.
Bang bang bang!
Someone knocked at the front door.
"Come in."
Jace said bluntly.
A Mage entered the office with documents in hand.
"Leader Jace, there are results from the forces that were sent into Black Forest. They were completely wiped out. No less than 3,000 people entered, and only 50 of them survived."
The Mage said with shock and fear.
"Huh?"
Jace's eyes sparkled, not too surprised.
He had long known that if he relied on this mob, it would be impossible to deal with Ronald.
After all, even high-rank Mages couldn't capture Ronald, so how could he die in the hands of these low-rank Mages?
However…
He made use of some schemes to make Ronald the blade of Mystic Fire to effectively eliminate these small forces.
But Jace gasped when he heard the number of deaths.
Thousands of people had died!
This time, it might really bring some upheaval to the East Continent.
This was especially true for those local forces. Those previously arrogant forces would probably be much more restrained now.
"To be able to eliminate so many forces at once, I believe this is precisely what we are happy to see."
Jace smirked.
"Jace, are you really that confident that he'll be at the mercy of others? After all, he's wanted by your Mystic Fire Guild, so he can't be underestimated. Don't be careless and fail miserably."
Sacha said with a smile.
"Leader Jace. His name is also circulating across the continent. Apparently, he's going to make a move on us, Mystic Fire soon."
The soldier thought for a while and said.
"Attack?"
Jace shook his head and said, "He doesn't have the courage. Even if he has extraordinary strength, he still doesn't dare to rashly challenge the authority of us, Mystic Fire. If he does, he'll be wanted by the East Continent's royal family."
Indeed!
Jace wasn't wrong.
However, he had overlooked one thing. The biggest factor.
That was the speed at which Ronald's strength increased!
This was his greatest oversight.
After all, no one had expected Ronald to become such a terrifying man in less than a month.
This was something Jace himself would never have imagined.
Even if it was right in front of them, no one would believe it.
A month's time had caused such a huge change!
In fact…
Even the people of the Black Cavalry Mages thought that Ronald was this strong from the start.
However, what everyone did not know was that a month ago, Ronald was still a weakling who was at the mercy of others. He did not have the ability to resist at all.
However, ever since he escaped from the East Continent's Magic Academy, his strength had been making rapid progress.
He arrived in Black Forest, met Sword Demon, and possessed the ultimate swordsmanship.
Ronald possessed a terrifying power that could shake Mystic Fire Guild.
However, Mystic Fire could not grasp these matters.
Their understanding of Ronald was still stuck at the time when he escaped from the Magic Academy of the East Continent. They did not think that Ronald would be able to make such a huge progress in this one month.
Not even Blake knew that.
When Ronald first arrived in Black Forest, he did not have the strength to shake him at all.
However, after encountering Sword Demon, the modifier changed Ronald's swordsmanship level and instantly raised his strength to the top.
There was also extreme speed, extreme elemental affinity, and so on.
The current Ronald was no longer the same from a month ago, nor was he the one in Jace's eyes; the Ronald who could only defend passively.
This change was fatal to Mystic Fire!
It had also completely exceeded Jace's expectations, making him oversee this fatal flaw.
"Other than that, the Mages who escaped from Black Forest have launched a crazy attack on one of our squads. Although the losses are not big, it's still quite troublesome."
The Mage continued.
"Send Volcano and Ghost Spider to suppress them. We must do it."
Jace thought for a moment before answering.
"Yes, Leader Jace!"
The Mage nodded and gradually left the office.
Only Jace and Sacha remained.
"Are you really so relieved to let Ronald do as he pleases?"
Sacha asked, frowning.
"He is most prominent in speed, not strength. I am quite assured of that. Although we cannot catch him, it will be difficult for him to shake our foundations."
Jace smiled confidently.
"I hope so."
Sacha stood up, his expression unreadable as he gradually left.
For some reason, he had an ominous feeling.
But since Jace had said so, he couldn't argue.
After watching Sacha leave, Jace looked out of the window and muttered to himself, "The unrest in the East Continent is only temporary. I believe it will subside soon, so why should I care too much?"
