In the sky of Greenwood City, Claude’s eyes stared apathetically at the dying terrorists as if he was watching the death of ants

Whether they are existence at ungraded or 5th rank, there was no difference. The devilish black hands would still take their lives as easily as crushing ants

In Claude’s eyes, evil people are better off dead. His personality is abnormally too inclined to the ‘greater good’

Even though countless lives were taken by him personally, not the least bit of remorse could be sensed in him

The citizens of Greenwood City are just living their lives peacefully. They were doing their normal day-to-day lives when these terrorists attack despite knowing the consequences that would bring

To such people… why would you give them mercy?

In just a matter of tens of minutes, the terrorists inside the city were purged and the survivors cheered

That is Claude Preston! Their Saint! Their savior!

If not for him, all of them must have died already. They owe him their lives and these people from young to old can’t help but cheer for him

However, while these people are eternally grateful, Claude on the other hand was saddened. If he was maybe even just a minute early, he could have saved even more people

“Young Master… the Patriarch calls for you”

As soon as Claude’s feet landed on the ground, the shadows near him twisted and from them, a mage of the Preston Family emerged

“I will be there” Claude simply replied, not the least bit surprised

He is now a 6th fusion rank mage and excluding the 7th rank mage ancestors, he now holds greater power over his family

Claude has never shied from taking influence and power as he could use them to help more people

Despite the fact that his father was ‘unpleasant’ as long as he could obtain benefits that he could use to help people it doesn’t matter how unpleasant his father was

After what felt like years of journey, Rezen finally got out of Greenwood City. His hand was still holding the Yin-Yang Mirror to his chest as if it was the most special treasure in the world

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Rezen looked back at the city. His eyes squinted as he watch the space distort and twist

It was a bizarre scene as if the fabric of reality itself was being overwritten. This was Rezen’s first time witnessing such a scene and his eyes couldn’t move away from it

“Is this… the power of a 7th rank mage?” Rezen whispered

Even mages at that level don’t have the ability to revive the dead. That means that if he wants to resurrect his parents, he has to surpass their powers or look for special means. Either of the two would be far from being easy

Soon, an unbelievable thing happened. After the space was forcefully distorted, the wrecked City was returned back to normal

The shops, apartments, villas, mansions, malls, road, and many more infrastructure was returned back to how they were previously

It was as if the city wasn’t plunged to hell just minutes ago. Just by manipulating the fabric of space, the city was restored back to normal

Of course, that is just on the outside. The dead are still dead. Only the material objects are restored

7th rank mages can’t just unscrupulously use their real power, a necessary ‘reason’ is required since the usage of their powers have consequences even if they didn’t use it for battle

However, it doesn’t mean that they can’t use their real power. If not then what was the point of them reaching the 7th rank?

Since an entire city was destroyed, Space Monarch can use his real power without the fear of other mages finding fault with him

In fact, if it’s restoration, almost no one would want to stop him since he is the only mage that could use a power like that

If ever other people’s territories were razed, they would need to ask for his help

After all, even with the help of magic, a city couldn’t be rebuilt in just a day. Space Monarch’s power was thus a necessity

“That’s the power I have to surpass huh…” Rezen muttered while clenching his fist

The seed of rage and thirst for overwhelming power was already planted in the deepest part of his heart

His previous naivety and childishness seemingly vanished instantly. His dark eyes instead burned with resolve

After kissing the Yin-Yang Mirror, he stored it in his storage which is a function of the system

The storage is different from the void storage ring. Every item in the cell could be stacked and they are more convenient to retrieve

If a time comes that Rezen has to give up his void storage rings, he still has his storage. It was definitely the safest place to store the Yin-Yang Mirror

Mystic Tattoos spreads from Rezen’s stomach to his entire body. Once more, the power of the sun flowed on his body

His physical stats rose as he run at a speed that would leave normal humans terrified to death

Yet even with his running speed, his facial expressions were incomparably calm. But hidden in such a calm expression was a burning inferno that is just waiting for a chance to erupt

In no time, Rezen returned to his farm where his subordinates were already waiting for him

They immediately straightened their backs as soon as they saw Rezen. No one dares to breathe loudly in fear of displeasing him

They can sense that their master has changed greatly. They can’t sense the previous Rezen from him anymore

“Keito and Six, start making a draft of the farm’s structure that has rooms for future expansions” Rezen ordered

Now that there is a goal that he has to accomplish no matter what, abandoning his farm would be impossible

He already increased the defense of his farm but… it was not enough! Not enough!

With their numbers, they might be able to contend against a 6th fusion rank mage in return for thousands of casualties of the defensive units. But if they were to face two or more enemies at that level…

In the past, Rezen was steadily increasing his power but now, he doesn’t have to be that reserved anymore

He has a contract with Kacy. Daydream itself would protect him and Rezen could develop with fewer things holding him back

“Seven to Ten, all of you shall dig holes on all the space available on the farm. Zero to Five, the blood bank must be increased. Go and capture more magic beasts!”

After Rezen gave his order, none of his subordinates dared to resist and they hurriedly moved to do his bidding

When everyone has tasks assigned to them, Rezen walked toward his Mysterious Peach Tree

As if the system itself wanted to help him, the tree actually bore a hundred fruits. Considering that the number of fruits produced every day is random, harvest at this level was really great

With a calm disposition, Rezen plucked one of the mysterious peaches and unceremoniously bit it

The juice flowed down his throat and a series of information instantly appeared in his mind

[Ding! Dark-type 4th-grade spell: Ghost Hands has been comprehended by the Host!]

The system not only was generous with the harvest today, but it also communicate with Rezen more often than before

It was as if the system was saying that it is there to support him in his revenge and search for a way to resurrect the dead

“Dark-type spell and at the 4th rank…”

Rezen has more than a dozen mystic gems but he doesn’t have a dark-type gem. It seems like another attribute would be added to his arsenal and it was even in the 4th grade!

This incident naturally delighted Rezen but considering that the power he needed is above 7th rank, he just continued to eat the mysterious peaches

It was still the same as before, many gave Rezen a duplicate but even then, there were still a number of new spells that he learned

Not just that, with these new spells, a few of his mystic gems could be advanced into the 4th grade, further boosting his power

After plucking and eating all the mysterious peaches, Rezen used the mana stones he got from Kacy and he had the farm absorb them

It doesn’t matter how many 4th grade spells he learned since they could only offer limited help

What he thirsts for is a power above the 7th rank. For the current Rezen, 4th-grade spells would just be his tool to further advance

The most important thing is still increasing his cultivation base. And for that, upgrading the farm to level 5 is necessary

An outstanding amount of 500 million mana stones is required to trigger the advancement mission but right now, Rezen has wealth more than that number

Upgrading the farm again is within his financial capabilities
