End of the Magic Era Chapter 276 - Taking Care of Something

Chapter 276: Taking Care of Sothing

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

“What... What do you want to do!?” The young Great Mage beca even paler as he looked at Xiuban’s dark red face, which seed very sinister to him. It was even more so after Xiuban laughed evilly while caressing his hamr, looking more and more perverted.

“What am I doing? Hehehehe...” Xiuban was already imrsed in the pleasure of discovering such a powerful weapon. He couldn’t stop giggling, and when the young Great Mage noticed his eerie smile, he almost peed his pants on the spot.

“D-Don’t... Don’t...” The young Great Mage took a few steps back, his eyes filled with fear as he retreated. “Don’t co over...”

“Hehehehe...” Xiuban slowly walked closer to the Great Mage while holding his hamr.

This was an extrely strange scene.

And fortunately for Xiuban, William hadn’t held much importance in the rlin Family before. He was only one of the stronger mbers of the younger generation that couldn’t participate in the succession fight, so usually, no one would visit his courtyard. Otherwise, they would catch Xiuban in the act.

Ten warriors on the ground, a Great Mage and a Beastman on the side, one retreating step by step, the other advancing step by step. The atmosphere in the courtyard was very weird.

Fortunately...

Soone was there to save the young Great Mage.

William had returned.

“What’s going on?” William’s face sank when he discovered that soone had broken the door to his courtyard.

But... He soon saw that strange scene...

One retreating while stuttering threats, one advancing while giggling, it looked quite comical. William even forgot about his door and crossed his arms over his chest as he calmly watched.

“William, you, you... You dare shelter a Dark Fla Beastman! I’ll report you to the Elder Council!” Seeing William, that young Great Mage shouted as if he was grasping at his last straw.

But the way he shouted was a bit wrong...

William originally wanted to stop Xiuban, but when he heard that shout, he swallowed his words and instead sneered, “Report

if you can.”

“You...” The young Great Mage’s expression beca unsightly.

Although William wasn’t as important as Aube or Ross, he was still a direct descendant of the rlin Family. Sheltering a Dark Fla Beastman might send most people into prison for a few years, but the rlin Family’s descendants would at most be reprimanded. So what if he told the Elder Council?

His own situation was a lot more troubleso.

‘That damned Dark Fla Beastman keeps approaching with its creepy smile while fondling that weapon, I’ll be seriously injured if it touches !’

“William, if... if you do this, Ross won’t let you off!” The young Great Mage was panicking. He thought that by using his backer, he would be able to escape this situation.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as the young Great Mage imagined.

“Haha, Ross...” The na which held boundless respect in that Great Mage’s heart was only worth a sneer in front of William.

William might have been afraid of the consequences in the past...

After all, he was one of the most talented geniuses of the rlin Family. His strength and talent exceeded that of Aube and Leon, but because he was born in a side branch, he had only been suppressed by Aube.

Unfortunately for this young Great Mage, William was no longer the sa.

Remaining in Thousand Sails City for half a year had let William reach a whole new level. William saw a 9th Rank Great Mage suppress an Archmage, so how could he care about Ross?

Moreover, William had acquired the Soul Inheritance from that damaged crest. He was completely reborn and had stepped in the High Mage realm. His future was boundless. Using Ross’ na to pressure him was a wrong move.

“William, you seem a lot bolder after half a year...”

At this ti, another group entered.

The one in the lead was a seemingly thirty-year-old man that looked quite carefree. Although there was a long scar on his face, it didn’t make him ugly, but instead increased his charisma. As he stood there, whether it was the fallen Great Swordsn, the retreating Great Mage, the pervert Beastman, or the reborn William, they all looked at him.

He gave the feeling of always being the center of attention.

“Ross, why did you co?” William’s heart tightened. That na was a shadow that none of the younger rlins could get rid of.

As long as they had the rlin na, they couldn’t ignore Ross’ existence.

Born in the side branches, he didn’t have powerful backing or outstanding talent. At 24, he was only a 5th Rank Mage. That power wasn’t enough to enter the Gilded Rose’s rcenary Group. Who knew the na Ross rlin back then?

But after he was 24, Ross rlin rose up like a cot.

It only took him one year to reach the Great Mage realm. Five ranks in a single year, this caused a sensation in the rlin Family.

But it wasn’t over yet.

After rising those five ranks in one year, Ross kept quickly progressing and advanced even more ranks in another year, becoming a 5th Rank Great Mage. After two years, he stepped into the High Mage realm, and his Magic Conducting Rune was the Endless Spring that no one in the rlin Family managed to form in five hundred years. Santon rlin was the last person to form the Endless Spring in the Family, and was known for his endless reserves of mana.

After fusing Nine Endless Springs into one, Ross’ mana reached a realm that a High Mage could never dream of. Just by relying on that Magic Conducting Rune that had never appeared in five hundred years, Ross sit at the number one position of the younger generation despite being a mber of a side branch.

And this wasn’t self-proclaid...

Three years ago, Ross went deep into the Raging Fla Plane and single-handedly charged into a Crimson Fort occupied by over a thousand Raging Fla Beastn. He fought for seven days and nights without rest before taking back the Crimson Fort.

After this fight, Ross’ position in the rlin Family skyrocketed, becoming one of the powerful contenders for the Successor position from his previous position as a re side branch mber.

Even his fellow contenders, Aube and Leon, were speechless about this.

Despite having been completely transford in this half a year, William, who had been wondering if he could now stand up to Ross, couldn’t help frowning when facing him.

It couldn’t be helped, as Ross’ battle in the Raging Fla Plane had left a deep shadow in his mind.

It was a subconscious reaction.

But his frown quickly disappeared.

William had realized that he was no longer the sa, he had changed after everything he’d experienced since he left the family.

Nowadays, he was leading the Gilded Rose’ rcenary Group. He had fifty Great Mages under his command and had entered the laboratory of the final Artisan of the 3rd Dynasty. Let alone Ross, William even believed that Santon rlin might not have had as many diverse experiences as him at this age.

Not to ntion, there was still his unfathomable cousin, Mafa, standing behind him.

If there was one person who could make William feel dread, it was definitely Mafa rlin. William knew more than anyone how terrifying his younger cousin could be.

Xiuban was a good example. With Carnage in his hand, a dozen Great Swordsn were laying on the ground and one Great Mage almost peed his pants. Wasn’t that frightening enough?

William himself was a good example. In just half a year, he advanced from 5th Rank Great Mage to 2nd Rank High Mage, and even now, he was still advancing at a frightening speed. He might even manage to beco a 9th Rank High Mage before turning 40. Wasn’t that miraculous enough?

But William knew that whether it was the frightening Xiuban or himself, they had both benefited from Mafa rlin’s training.

It could be Xiuban, it could be himself, but it also could have been others instead.

He and Xiuban had only been lucky enough to follow that younger cousin.

In contrast, what did Ross even count as?

He was only the number one of the rlin Family’s younger generation. He may have the Endless Spring Magic Conducting Rune, but he was still an ant in front of an Archmage.

But Mafa rlin, while he was still a 9th Rank Great Mage, had already defeated Fran, who had reached the Archmage realm.

The gap between them was too great.

Since that was the case, how could he be nervous facing Ross?

“Haha, I heard from soone that you took our younger cousin back from Thousand Sails City and that I should co to check on him. Where is he?”

“Cousin?” William had already recovered, so he wasn’t at all angered by Ross’ condescending attitude. He only smiled as he replied, “Cousin Mafa went out to deal with sothing, he should be back soon.”
