Chapter 43: Luckily I'm Out Of This Job

"Watch carefully. This bag contains the bones leftover from the roast lamb you guys had before." Myza raised a bag in his left hand.

"Mm." Liu Ji nodded.

"And this jar holds the blood drained from the lamb," Myza continued, raising the jar in his right hand.

"Uh-huh." Liu Ji nodded again, thinking that the contents might be made to use blood pudding or something similar.

"Now, here's a pit. All we need to do is..." Myza began, throwing both the jar and the bag into the sand pit and then covering them with sand.

Before long, a sheep skeleton crawled out of the ground. However, it now looked more monstrous, with sharp teeth, menacing horns, and spikes all over its body.

"Whoa..." Liu Ji involuntarily backed off.

"And if you smash this thing..." Myza said, punching the skeletal sheep in the face.

With a crisp sound, the skeletal sheep shattered into pieces and slowly sank back into the ground.

Then just a few moments later, the skeletal sheep emerged from the sand again.

"And if you want to get rid of it for good," Myza continued, raising his crystal staff and smashing the skeleton repeatedly until every bone was crushed into dust.

"So, you have to smash it this much?" Liu Ji's mouth twitched. "Good thing we're in the desert. If there was a city nearby..."

"A long time ago, a certain duke destroyed my homeland and killed my family for a mineral vein." Myza smiled. "So, I created this moon on his land..."Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

Liu Ji blinked several times. "Um... I won't ask about the rest. Did he die peacefully?"

"To ensure this plan works, high-level officials and the Sanctum provide just the right amount of support, like companions, equipment, reinforcements, etc., to ensure the hero can defeat his enemies without growing too powerful and becoming unparalleled."

"Listening to this... it sounds like a hero is destined to be discarded after use?" Liu Ji frowned.

"Why do you think they summon heroes from another world instead of choosing a native?" Myza asked.

"Wait, they choose a native?" Liu Ji was surprised. "Then why? What's the difference?"

"Because the ritual to summon a hero is essentially a spell, but one that requires a massive cost and is extremely complex. It's so complex that no one has been able to decode or modify it since," Myza explained. "The person who created this spell, the founder of the Sanctum of Arcane Arts, the greatest archmage in history, deliberately designed it this way.

"And the spell, while nominally a hero summoning spell, actually uses the vast majority of its resources—90%—to create the effect known as the 'Blessing of the World.' Drawing a suitable candidate from another world to bear this blessing is just a designed side condition," Myza explained.

"As for why it was designed this way," Myza shrugged, "no one knows what his thoughts were at the time. But if you want an answer, I think you could consider the opposite; what would happen if a hero emerged from any one of this world's races or factions?"

"Then... that faction would dominate the world?" Liu Ji suddenly understood. "So, from the beginning, heroes are destined to be gotten rid off?"

"Exactly," Myza said with a smile. "A hero who dies bravely while resolving the crisis is the kind of hero everyone likes."

"Ah..." Liu Ji's lips twitched. "I never thought I'd be so glad to have lost my job before even starting."

"Haha, at the time, the heroine who came to kill me had a similar reaction to yours." Myza chuckled. "After learning that killing me wouldn't save the world and listening to my talk relating to heroes, I still remember what she did...

"This was exactly it," Myza said as he raised his staff and cleared his throat before dramatically slamming the staff onto the ground and shouting in a high-pitched voice. "Screw this! I'm done! Just kill me already!"

"Ah? It was actually a heroine?" Liu Ji was surprised.

"Yes, a heroine, which is rather rare." Myza chuckled. "Who, by the way, became my wife later on..."
