While Aur was refining the Thief magic spell, on the other side in the center of the village where there was initially the village leader's office, now lay the ruins of it, and the mana in the surrounding grew even more chaotic.
There could be various reasons for the chaotic mana fluctuation; however, for these, it is because of the clash of tier three wizards.
On the ground, there were three wizards who were constantly fighting against one on two.
Every spell released by them was devastating, causing the entire surroundings to be in chaos.
Of course, the three people who were fighting were Noah, the First Elder, and Aiken, the south village leader.
At this moment, the former two were ganging up on Noah completely, not giving him a chance to counterattack.
"Damn it, you bastard, you didn't tell me that Noah has reached the intermediate level in ice magic," Aiken shouted while hurriedly dodging the sharp ice lance.
"If I did, would you have participated?" the First Elder pointed with his finger, and countless swords levitated directly, shooting at Noah.
"Hmm?" Noah formed a barrier out of ice that completely blocked the swords, and the ice barrier broke just after withstanding it.
"I didn't expect you to have reached the tier three wizard realm, First Elder," Noah spoke with a serious expression.
"You bastard, just because you have a high-grade talent, you were able to get the position of the village leader. In reality, I was the first disciple of the previous elder. If you weren't born, everything would have been mine," the First Elder said with bloodshot eyes.
This was the rage he had been suppressing for many years, and all this rage came out like a volcanic eruption, making him feel better.
Noah just shook his head with a smile. "How narrow-minded."
"You dare to say I'm narrow-minded? I know how you are. Do you think I don't know about your black deeds since you became the village leader? You have taken the innocence of countless young girls, and if a talent offended you, they mysteriously died the next day..." The First Elder spoke with anger and righteousness.
Noah's face turned dark when he heard that. If these leaks came out, then his reputation as a wise village leader would be completely tarnished, and he could only rule the people through fear, which was counterproductive in the long run.
"So are you trying to become the village leader because of my evil deeds?"
In just that slight mishap, the spell refining almost failed. Luckily, he had been refining for a whole day now, and this slight mishap couldn't cause the refining to fail.
He calmly refined again while slightly glancing at the ashes of William.
"You can talk with me as long as you have the intention of conveying a message to me."
"Oh?" Aur calmly refined while internally he was surprised beyond doubt. He had never heard of such a mysterious means to communicate. His vigilance was raised to the limit because Aur instantly knew that he was talking to an old monster.
"What do you want?"
"Do you want to kill William?"
"Yes, I want to." Aur immediately nodded his head.
"Then I will help you kill him, and not only that, I will even allow you to have the golden text. The power of these is terrifying."
Aur became silent.
"And what will you get for it? There is no free lunch in this world."
"Quite smart kid, around your age your blood should be boiling and—"
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me." Aur directly interrupted Asmodeus.
"Fine, I will tell you. I need to escape from this hellish prison. I have been trapped here for centuries, and my lifespan is constantly slipping away. If you can allow me to gain freedom, then you can take away the golden text. I don't care."
Aur became silent again as if he was in deep thought before he finally replied with a simple word.
"Fine."
"Alright then, the deal is done, kid. I will transfer all the information of the golden text to you and even detailed information of a spell that can allow you to extract the golden text."
