"Ok… OK, I will give it to you.

But let's finish the important matters first."

"As you want, my little vampiro," Foxy muttered as he started wavering right and left to amuse Kael more.

Foxy and Julian started walking, stepping over broken stones and scattered corpses. Behind them, the magic tower stood in ruins, half-collapsed, its walls torn apart by their previous fighting and attacks.

"It's done. I collected everything, and I planted a small bloody bomb that's enough to destroy the whole tower."

"Good, you didn't disappoint me with that Assassin attitude of yours."

Kael raised his two fingers as a bloody sphere started to form, as he was now about to finish Foxy.

"OK, I surrender. Joking with you would only cause more trouble.

How about we go and check on Sirath, since you gave him the hardest part?"

"Nah, he is the strongest in the physical category among us. Add that to his close combat speed, so don't worry about him.

That bookworm won't die easily.

I didn't know how our leader was able to fight someone with his IQ and techniques.

His abilities are very overwhelming, especially his Eclipse Mode form."

Kael waved his hand. "Same as you, envying Julian's Phantom physique and Hypothesis abilities."

"Yeah, mf, envy me so I die fast. Aren't you the same mf who has two bloodlines and can evolve them? Add to that your OP chains and blood manipulation, and don't forget that form of yours. Do you want me to say more?

And you talk about fairness."

"See you, asshole, always analyzing my battle style and studying it, like how you discovered I can evolve my bloodline," Kael muttered, amused.

"And talking about fairness.

Ok, let's stop mumbling.

If we are talking about fairness, Song is the biggest representative of fate, the chosen son.

I don't know, but I am sure of one thing. Leader Song has never fought at 100% in a real fight," Kael muttered patiently.

"You and I, even if we collaborate against him, we would lose.

That paradox physique of his can't be analyzed or understood.

I remember when he used his omnivision against that Abstract magician, or even Sirath when he went all out against Song. He was destroyed in one move.

You and I, when we fought him, were smarter than Sirath. You already know I would try to escape in the middle of a fight against a strong opponent. You know I don't like to fight fairly.

And I expect you to have done the same as me, since you are Assassin.

But you know fighting Song himself is unfair as a concept.

Also, his simulation fighting style is complicated to study, especially its patterns and sequences. Add the puzzle piece abilities, and it becomes too complex to fight against.

I remember when he destroyed my illusion and activated his simulation abilities. Something like that was too terrifying.

That is why I did not dare show my trump cards, because it would end with me losing more than I would gain..

Add that my only knowledge about puzzle pieces at that time was that he could delete other techniques and absorb their experience.

That was my first meeting with him, before he discovered I was hiding in that place while he was fighting to take that treasure. But he managed to detect my illusion and cancel it, which led us to fight.

Ok, let's leave instead of envying each other.

He destroyed me that day in a humiliating way, and I couldn't even escape.

Even so, I witnessed some of his power. I want to see him go all out.

I want to see his peak power, since he is the strongest of our generation.

Anyway, you already know the bad news. He has left us.

It means he was mad.

I know the last time he was mad.

When he used 55% of his power, he destroyed an entire ancient ruin while fighting that strong mysterious monster by himself. It was so vast that I could not even comprehend how big that place was. I do not even know if I can properly measure his power in his base form."

"And we would have been killed because of that if we hadn't escaped at the last minute using my ability."

"For now, we don't know what our leader's goal is.

Ohhh, I forgot to check the message Song sent."

"Click."

Foxy muttered as he checked his smartphone when a message popped up. "Ok."

"We are fucked?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"It seems Song finished a long time ago, and he left us."

"Damn it."

"He seems too mad."

"I assume he used more than 10% of his power."

"Ok."

Kael muttered, "It seems it will take some time to return to the academy or the palace.

But we know the consequences of betraying someone like him."

"Thank God I was smart when I was offered to join him," Foxy muttered as he remembered that bad day.

"I think maybe in 20 years, or less than that, he could become the strongest in the world," Foxy muttered with an amused look.

"Anyway, let's go check on Sirath."

Foxy and Julian started walking until they were a few meters away from Sirath, who had killed all the normal magicians and knights and was now surrounded by the ten main magicians.

They both sat on a tree.

Foxy nudged Kael with his elbow as a gesture to give him the bet reward as he spoke.

"Hey bro, give me my two bags of chips."

Kael used his ring, and two bags of chips in cheese, lemon, and chili flavors appeared. These bags of chips didn't exist in the magic world. It was Song who reintroduced entire production factories from another world, turning snacks into a luxury industry among nobles, and managed to make a lot of money by selling them to nobles.

Song followed only one approach in selling. The different flavors were sold to the wealthy class, while the salt flavor was fixed for everyone.

Children ate them, and everyone ate them. As for Foxy, he was addicted to these two flavors.

Foxy opened the two bags and mixed the flavors in both, then gave one to Julian. The two began watching from afar, lowering their energy as they enjoyed the sight of Sirath's battle.
