People Are In The Magical World, There Is No Magic Power

(Author's note: I've been a bit busy these days, so I degenerated into a beast.)

It was soon noon, the time when the sun was the hottest.

"Hey, kid, wake up, I can feel that the Black Flame Seed is not far away."

Ye Jian shook his hand that was grabbing Rowan's collar.

Rowan immediately opened his eyes and exited his meditation state.

Rowan looked at Ye Jian who had been running around for a few hours and asked, "Do you need to rest?"

"No need."

Ye Jian took out a black pill the size of half a fingernail from the storage space with his other hand and popped it into his mouth.

"My team member made the Stamina Pill version 2.0, very useful for recovering stamina."

Ye Jian chewed the pill in his mouth, swallowed it, and lit up a cigarette.

She was a female smoker.

"Good stuff," Rowan said in amazement.

"How does it taste?"

"The one just now was chocolate, apple, banana, orange, milk, and other flavors."

"It can adjust the taste?!"

"Here, I'll give you a milk-flavored one."

Ye Jian took out a black pill and flicked it into Rowan's mouth with his thumb.

"Hmm … It does taste like milk."

Rowan chewed it and swallowed it. Then, he felt a warm current flowing through his body. The hunger he felt after having breakfast for a few hours was gone. He felt as if he had an inexhaustible amount of energy.

Of course, that was just an illusion. It just meant that the Stamina Pill version 2.0 had a great recovery effect.

"If there's 2.0, then there's 1.0. What's 1.0 like?"

"The effect is the same as 2.0, but it tastes terrible."

"How bad?"

"… If I have to compare it, it's like mixing a piece of rotten meat that's expired a year ago with poop, then dipping it in the morning's yellow urine. It should taste like this."

"… Luckily, I'm not eating right now."

Rowan felt like vomiting just by listening to it.

What did that team member go through to make 2.0 so delicious?

Hmm … Ye Jian probably said something like "make the pill taste good, or I'll kill you."

"Da …"

Ye Jian suddenly stopped on a thick tree branch.

"Are we here?"

Ye Jian grabbed Rowan's collar, so he had his back facing Ye Jian, so he couldn't see the situation in front of him.

Ye Jian lifted his hand and put Rowan on the branch.

"… Oh, I'm late."

Rowan's pupils shrunk as he quickly turned around and clenched his fists.

A few hundred meters away, there was a small village.

It was a small village dyed with a layer of blood.

"Hani Village" was written on the signboard at the entrance of the village.

Rowan, who had no magic power, could not see the words so far away, but he had been to this village before, so he had some impression of it.

Although Rowan was relieved that it was not Ade Village, he was relieved.

But …

The hill of corpses in the center of the village infuriated Rowan, who had received compulsory education and had a normal outlook on life.

Hani Village was the village next to Ade Village. It was only about forty kilometers away, and it would take two to three hours to get there by horse carriage.

A few years ago, Rowan had come to this village with the old village chief, Ide, who was still alive.

The village Hani Hani was Hani

Now, more than two hundred people in the village had become corpses and were casually piled up.

"Devil's blood sacrifice ritual," Ye Jian said in a deep voice.

He cast the basic "Farsight" spell on his eyes and stared at the blood-colored magic circle on the ground of the village.

The magic circle was hundreds of meters in diameter and was drawn with the blood of the villagers.

The thick smell of blood could be smelled even from here.

"Kid, I have bad news for you," Ye Jian said.

"The other party has sacrificed the entire village. From the experience of dealing with the Devil's Order, it started when you woke up last night."

Rowan nodded slowly and said in a low voice, "I remember you said that the blood sacrifice can bring two benefits to the people of the Devil's Order."

Ye Jian said with a cigarette in his mouth, "Well, two hundred people are not enough for the other party to summon a Devil that can defeat me. In other words, the other party is likely to turn these two hundred people into nutrients to improve themselves.

"By the way, when I fought with the Devil's bishop, he was already one of the best among the superior archmages."

Rowan took a deep breath after hearing this.

"In other words, the Devil's bishop who has improved his strength is likely to be a junior mage?"

"Yes."

A junior mage, the fifth step!

"Let me say this first, I'm not sure if I can win … Or rather, I'm already thinking of escaping," Ye Jian said frankly.

"When can you recover your strength?" Rowan asked.

Ye Jian took a deep drag on his cigarette and slowly exhaled. "Tomorrow, I'll be able to remove the effects of the Dispersing Magic Potion. By then, my magic power recovery speed and the upper limit of my total magic power will be restored … Are there any populated places nearby?

The Devil's Order has the means to detect nearby life forms. If there are no populated places nearby, we'll retreat and come back tomorrow to kill that bastard bishop. "

Rowan took out the Magic Cutter Sword and said in a low voice, "Yes, my village, Ade Village. It's about forty kilometers northwest of this village."

"… Tsk."

Ye Jian smacked his lips.

"No choice … Kid, can your sword work on a junior mage's magic?"

"Even a grand mage's can!"

Rowan said with a resolute expression.

"Very good, I'll rush over first. You follow behind and find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. The opponent's defensive magic won't be able to block your sword. Try to defeat the enemy in one strike. If the sneak attack fails, act according to the situation. I'll cover you during the battle. You just need to focus on blocking and reflecting the magic."

Ye Jian took out a magic device and tapped it, as if he was sending some kind of message. Then, he put away the magic device and pulled out the long sword at his waist.

It was a long sword with a crimson hilt and a sword guard. The black hilt had a beautiful red flame pattern.

It was obvious that it was a piece of magic equipment, and its level was definitely not low.

"Thank you," Rowan said while gripping the hilt of the Magic Cutter Sword.

"No need."

Ye Jian used his thumb to point at the pattern on his cloak on the left side of his chest. He looked at Rowan with a calm expression.

"When I put on this cloak, I was already prepared to sacrifice myself to save someone unrelated to me."

Rowan was stunned.

"Well, that's it for the cool talk. I'll be leaving first."

After that, Ye Jian jumped off the branch and left the forest. He turned into a black shadow burning with black flames and flew toward Hani Village.

His speed was more than ten times faster than when he was rushing with Rowan.

"Phew …"

Rowan looked at Broken Magic in his hand and thought of the 39 times he meditated last night. He had an idea.

"… The success rate is too low. I can't gamble on this."

Rowan shook his head, jumped off the branch, and ran toward Hani Village, which was covered in blood.

…

"Hmm …"

The purple-robed Devil took a deep breath and slowly inhaled the smell of blood. He opened his hands and looked very happy.

"Finally, all the nutrients have been digested, and I …"

Devil waved his sleeves, and blood red flames covered half of the village. The "mountain of corpses" on the side was directly incinerated, and many houses were turned into ashes one after another.

"I've also become a junior magister!"

Just a casual wave of the hand had such power!

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Devil frowned, flew into the air, and quickly left the place.

The next moment, a black beam burning with black flames hit his original position.

"Boom!!!"

In just a moment, a bottomless hole with a diameter of half a meter was blasted into the ground.

"It's that woman from the operation group!"

Devil looked angrily at Ye Jian who landed on the ground not far from him. He thought of the grudge of losing his arm not long ago.

"Tsk, I've really become a junior magister."

Ye Jian took a deep breath of the cigarette in his mouth, and he was 120% alert.

"I haven't seen you for two days, and your blood flame can regenerate your broken arm?"

Ye Jian looked at Devil's intact left arm and felt troubled.

It was a trait that could save one's life.

"The operation group …"

"Black Flame Magic, Extreme Flame — Prairie Fire Cut!"

Devil had just opened his mouth to speak when Ye Jian directly launched an attack.

The horizontal black flame slash expanded at an alarming speed after it left the sword. It was like a prairie fire covering the whole area, and all the blood flames that covered half of the village were "burned".

Yes, the flame burned the flame.

The domineering black flames forcibly extinguished the blood flames in the surroundings, turning the battlefield into their own.

Devil raised his hand and formed a shield with his blood flames, blocking the black flames that were attacking him.

"What an irrational move. Although my Blood Flame is not as tyrannical as your Black Flame, its level is much higher than yours!"

As soon as Devil's voice fell, a large amount of blood flames appeared. They grew and multiplied endlessly, slowly pushing away the black flames with their advantage in numbers.

It was slow, but unstoppable.

"You're just wasting what little mana you have left," Devil said coldly.

Wasting magic power?

No.

She was opening a path for someone without magic.

Ye Jian quietly extinguished the black flames in the distance so that they could only cover a small area. Then, with his sword burning with black flames, he used Flame Steps and rushed towards the Devil Bishop.

"Humph, you're courting death!"

Devil snorted coldly and waved his hand to cast a large amount of blood fire. It was like a sea of fire that swept towards Ye Jian.

…

On the other side, Rowan watched as the blood flames in the sky were devoured by the black flames. Then, the black flames disappeared immediately, leaving an empty area without any flames.

"She's opening a path for me."

Rowan immediately understood.

Although Magic Breaker could also open a path, it was too slow to swing the sword in front of him and slowly touch the blood flames.

Rowan quickly ran towards the center of the village where the huge commotion was coming from.

When Rowan arrived, Ye Jian was panting slightly. He waved the sword burning with black flames in his hand, destroying the fireballs condensed from the blood flames.

At this moment, Rowan's position was behind Devil's Bishop.

Looking at the figure in a dark purple robe floating in the air, Rowan knew that this guy was the Bishop who had reached the level of Magus.

Without relying on magic or magic equipment, only those who reached the fifth step could use magic to fly and walk in the air.

Those who had not reached the fifth step could only rely on Kinesis Flight or flying magic to fly.

"Extreme Flame: Prairie Fire Slash!"

With another Prairie Fire Slash, Ye Jian cleared almost a thousand fireballs in the air.

"Ha … as expected."

Ye Jian's lips curled up.

"What are you laughing at?"

Devil's Bishop frowned.

"Nothing, I just proved a conjecture."

Ye Jian raised his left hand, his middle finger and thumb overlapping.

"Us professionals are too reliant on magic power. Our perception that only focuses on magic power was taken advantage of when we encountered a weirdo who didn't have any magic power at all."

"Whoosh —!"

Devil's Bishop's expression changed as he heard the sound of wind behind him. He quickly turned his head.

"What?!"

Rowan held Magic Breaker with both hands and jumped up high. He was already less than two meters behind Devil's Bishop.

Devil's Bishop subconsciously moved his body to dodge and was about to release blood flames to defend himself.

"Don't even think about it."

"Pa!"

With a snap of his fingers, the Black Flame Seed that had been hidden in Devil's Bishop for a long time instantly released a large amount of black flames, igniting Devil's Bishop.

"Black Flame Magic: Extreme Flame: Bloom."

"Ahhhhh —!"

The pain from the burning flames interrupted Devil's Bishop's movements.

Rowan, who was already close to him, was furious. The muscles on his arms bulged as he swung his sword down with all his might.

"Go to hell and meet your Devil!"

"Puchi —!"
