Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The War

The masked man didn’t care about them and ordered the dragon to start flaming fire at the villagers.

The middle-aged boy was watching everything, but he couldn’t come closer because of the fear gripping his mind. In a few moments, the dragon obeyed his order and released its fire on them.

In a certain moment, the whole area was filled with flames. Many people’s houses, trees, and domestic animals were destroyed in the fire.

The masked man laughed at them, enjoying everything that was happening in front of his eyes. Then he said, “You foolish insects deserve this.” Then he ordered the dragon to stop.

The magicians of the village awakened their powers and held their weapons to fight him.

They gathered together and decided to kill this monster right here, right now. Otherwise, he would wipe out the entire village one by one. That decision came too late because the masked man had already destroyed half of the village.

When the villagers noticed this, their anger boiled like never before. But it wasn’t easy to defeat the masked man because he was already far stronger. He had gathered the energy of the villagers he destroyed and absorbed it into himself. Now he was at his half-peak level. Taking him down wouldn’t be easy.

All the magicians were broken to see such cruelty. They never imagined they would witness such destruction in their lives, but the masked man only focused on achieving his project—the Project Rule.

Then he flew across the sky and released fire everywhere, continuing his destruction.

“It’s time to stop him!”

shouted the magicians.

They worked together, and at the same time, they used their magic to create energy balls and threw them at the masked man. But unfortunately, it missed. The energy balls hit the dragon instead.

The dragon lost control and balance, and because of this, the masked man fell. But just before hitting the ground, he summoned his cloak and used it to land safely. He stood straight and smirked.

After a moment, he said,

“You morons,

you fools,

just harmed my favorite pet.

Now all of you will pay for this.”

One strong magician shouted, “Don’t talk about us, think about yourself! This is your end for your cruelty. You killed our children, our wives, our elders who were sleeping peacefully in their homes!”

Another magician added, “We will take revenge for them and kill you, you bastard!”

The masked man’s expression change.He got angry and said, “Hey, speak respectfully. I have already lived ten lives more than you. I am your senior. Show some respect.”

Suddenly, one magician dashed forward to kick the masked man. But he was too slow. The masked man caught him and grabbed his throat tightly.

Then he chanted a spell, and his hand started burning. After a few seconds, he stabbed his burning hand into the magician’s chest and pierced his heart.

Everyone was too shocked to move. Some magicians trembled with fear, their legs shaking, betraying the terror inside them. When he pulled his hand out, blood splattered in the air.

It was truly a brutal scene. But the most horrifying moment was yet to come—the masked man pulled out his hand with the man’s heart in his grip.

“No…

no!

How is this possible for a man?”

“Aaaaah! God help us!”

After witnessing this brutal scene, the women and children screamed in fear, begging for safety. None of the other magicians dared to move forward. Everyone’s hearts pounded with fear. They didn’t have the courage to face him or attack him.

At that moment, four magicians gathered their fear and attacked him together. They rushed forward, trying to take him down. But it was not easy. When they attacked, the masked man countered immediately with an opposite strike. He jumped and kicked two magicians in the face, throwing them far away.

Then he grabbed one magician by the arm and punched the other. The one who got punched fell to the ground, while the other was hanging helplessly in the masked man’s grasp.

The masked man summoned his sword and stabbed it into the magician’s stomach, killing him instantly. And at that moment, he did something that made everyone freeze in shock. For the first time, he used that technique—the Fire-Breath Weapon Technique.

Fire-Breath Weapon Technique-

Among countless magical arts, this one is feared above all. It is not written in any book, nor taught in any academy. It is a forbidden art whispered only to those willing to bear its cost.

Back to the Story:

After turning his sword into a fire weapon, he laughed and said,

“Now this is your end,

all of you.”

When the remaining magicians saw this, they tried to escape to save their lives. But it failed in front of the masked man.

He had already absorbed enough power to sense the magicians through their aura. He located them instantly and burned them into ash.

The poor villagers were living through a nightmare in history. There was no one left to stop him. At this moment, he decided to use his ultimate move to destroy the entire village at once.

He flew away to a safe distance and ordered the dragon to release the Beast Bomb.

The dragon obeyed, controlled by his power, and launched the Beast Bomb at the village.

In a minute, the whole village and the few who were still alive were wiped out completely.

After this, the masked man successfully finished his first mission and achieved his goal—for now.

For this incident, the masked man became infamous across the lands.

Every magician and warrior clan sensed something terrifying about this man. Even the most unique and special Vampire Clan heard the name of the masked man who controlled a giant dragon by himself.

Then….
