Chapter 152: Died Just Like That?

“What is that?”

The people from the Mage Guild looked up at Watson, who was flying into the sky and cried out in surprise. They had never seen such a terrifying magical beast, and it was even more terrifying than the legendary dragon race.

“What a proud beast! Such a noble beast!”

Audrey also stared at the sky; her expression was ugly. Others might not recognize the magical beast in the sky, but she did because she had been a member of the Demoness Church, and she had personally witnessed the former church’s master, Avril, cast the transformation of the Great Sin Beast.

The seven Great Sin Beasts were the magical beasts under the evil god, the Primordial Demoness. They were also the Demoness Church’s guardian beasts. The Great Sin Mask was formed by mixing the important parts of the seven magical beasts with their souls, so it possessed invincible power. Audrey had worked hard for more than ten years to find a way to restore the mask for that reason.

At that moment, the Great Sin Mask was fused entirely in front of her, but it did not belong to her. It made her feel very uncomfortable. In her opinion, that power belonged to her.

“You are guilty.”

Watson, who had transformed into the Pride Beast, opened his bloody mouth and spoke thunderously toward the astrologer and the others. His tone was cold.

Even though he had transformed into the Pride Beast and inherited the appearance and abilities of that terrifying magical beast, his thoughts were still his.

“All beings are equal. Using your strength to bully those who are weaker than you is the crime of bullying the weak. Wantonly destroying a town and releasing magic is the crime of looking down on life. In the end, you hurt so many people in front of me, and now you want me to stop. You have committed the crime of pride.”

Since they were guilty, they had to be judged.

Watson’s eyes, which were as bright as the sun, emitted a white-hot light. He flapped his wings and flew higher into the sky. The two eyes overlapped and were as bright as the sun. The light in his eyes turned into a sharp sword.

It was as if two suns had appeared in the sky.

“My eyes! My eyes hurt!” A mage waved his magic staff in a panic, trying to cast a magic defense. His eyes were closed because of the blinding light, and tears streamed down his cheeks. However, the light was everywhere and could not be blocked.

Before he could cast a spell, the light had already passed through his body, causing his body to burn with a layer of black flames.

He screamed as he fell to the ground. The mage threw his staff and slapped his body, trying to extinguish the flames. However, his actions only made the fire grow bigger and bigger. The raging black flames burned his body in a few seconds, leaving only a layer of black ash. The fire fell to the ground like flowing oil, spontaneously approaching the other mages closest to him.

Platinum-tier spell, Heavenly Reflection!

That was a light-elemental spell that Watson had learned after transforming into the Pride Beast, Lucifer. The Pride Beast was good at light and dark-elemental spells. Among them was the Heavenly Reflection, which was a platinum-tier light-elemental spell. It released flames that were comparable to the temperature of the sun. The fire would not be extinguished until the enemy was completely burned. It also cast a platinum-tier dark-elemental spell, the Moon Reading, which pulled people into endless illusions and made them suffer terrible torture before finally dying in fear.

After he cast the Heavenly Reflection spell, Watson could feel that the memory light blobs stored in the Great Sin Mask had dissipated by several hundred. As the Pride Beast, he used emotions to cast the spell and not magical elements. The entire Great Sin Mask had accumulated several million emotional light blobs.

In other words, he could cast similar spells ten thousand times!

Initially, he had stored chaotic elements of magic equivalent to the strength of ten platinum-tier elites, so it was not safe for him to destroy the person in front of him. However, after that, he was full of confidence.

It was 10,000 times platinum-tier magic; he could raze the entire border to the ground, let alone those few people from the Mage Guild.

“Platinum-tier spell, Moon Reading, activate!”

Watson cast the Moon Reading once more, followed closely behind the Heavenly Reflection.

The color of his two huge eyes changed from blazing white to milky white. Behind him, a massive shadow of the moon appeared as if it wanted to replace the original moon.

The moment the shadow appeared, not far away from the mages of the Mage Guild, a soldier from the North Wind mercenary group suddenly let out a scream as the moonlight illuminated him. As he drew a sharp sword from his waist and fiercely stabbed it into the chest of his companion beside him, his body was covered in combat aura, and his eyes were red.

“What are you doing? Are you crazy?”

Two mercenaries cried out in shock. They wanted to step forward and stop him but were forced away by the crazy person who had swung his sword.

As they brandished their swords, the crazed soldiers shouted, “Get lost, don’t come near me! You bunch of monsters, I’m going to kill all of you!”

The Heavenly Reflection flames chased the magicians from the Mage Guild, and they used magic to retreat continuously. As for the North Wind mercenary group members, they were controlled by the Moon Reading and were in a state of madness as they slashed wildly with their swords. More than ten people had been sliced into a bloody mess in just a short while and fell to the ground.

Panicked cries for help, screams, and the sound of swords as they clashed against each other were incessant. Everyone was in a mess.

“Lord Astrologer, aren’t you going to make a move?” A ball of heavenly reflected flames was also chasing Audrey. She jumped up and down. She did not have many clothes on her to begin with, so she was bare naked as soon as she made a move. However, she could not care less.

She had immunity, so she would not be harmed if she encountered a non-fatal injury. She ran away because she was confident that she would definitely die if she were entangled in the heavenly reflection of the flames.

“It seems like I have no choice but to make a move.”

“Young man, one last question,” the astrologer said as he turned to face Watson. “Can you stop? These people are the elites of the Mage Guild of Monte Town. It would be a loss for the kingdom if they were all killed. I also don’t want to see you die. Like I said, if there’s anything we can talk about, we can sit down and discuss it.”

Watson, who had transformed into a giant magical beast, looked at the astrologer coldly. The thick and long tail of the python swung down; he only uttered two words.

“Kneel.”

The body of the Pride Beast was over a hundred meters long and more than ten meters thick. When its tail fell, it was like a small mountain. It had already set off a storm before it touched the ground. A ravine was formed on the earth. Even a gold-tier warrior would be smashed into a meat paste if he tried to take it head-on.

Bang!

The astrologer did not have the time to cast any spells. He could only raise his staff and counter Watson’s tail forcefully. Two streams of blood spurted from his nostrils. His body was bent into a shape that was about to break. He knelt on one knee.

“Young man, I don’t know if you’ve heard of the saying—forgive and forget. You’re still so young. It’s not good for you to have such a heavy killing intent!”

Pang!

The astrologer’s other leg also knelt in response.

“Old Man, try to persuade me nicely. Don’t blame me for not being polite because you don’t listen.”

“Hey, are you listening to me? When I get angry, it will get very scary.”

If the astrologer had not been bleeding from his nostrils and kneeling on the ground, his words would have been even more convincing.

When the people from the Mage Guild and the North Wind mercenary group saw that scene, their hearts trembled. The powerful astrologer who had lived in the kingdom for hundreds of years had been beaten up so severely by Watson. They had wanted to resist, but after that, they had completely lost the will to fight.

Roar!

Watson, who had transformed into the Pride Beast, roared. He could not be bothered to waste his breath on the astrologer. He swung his tail and swept it across the astrologer’s head, and smashed it into pieces.

The astrologer, who had lost his head, fell to the ground. Fresh blood spread on the earth. The mages who were surrounded by the Heavenly Reflection flames no longer tried to run away. The mercenaries who had been controlled by the Moon Reading spell and had fallen into fear also stopped what they were doing. They seemed to have forgotten about the pain. The impact of the scene in front of them had surpassed the pain of their physical bodies.

The silent terror spread. Everyone felt that it was not real, but the astrologer had died. The great mage who had taught countless elites and mastered numerous spells had died just like that.

“Exactly like that.”

Watson looked at the ground. The platinum mage who had lived the longest in the kingdom was nothing more than that.

His voice boomed, and all was silent below.
