Game Transmigration: Saving the World Again 1000 Years Later (ON-HOLD)

Chapter 75: Storm Contract

The Joshua siblings looked at the scorched earth in shock.

They knew that there were people in this world capable of magical powers. They had even seen them before. A few years ago, when there were bandits near Red Spring Town, the mayor had raised money to hire a magic chanter who could ignite flames out of thin air.

After the bandits charged into the town, the magic chanter they had hired at a high price turned the invading bandits into charred corpses single-handedly.

Joshua still remembered the deafening explosions and flames dancing everywhere that night, as well as the mess after the battle.

However, compared to the scene he was seeing now, the 'monumental scene' he thought of back then was as laughable as a child playing house.

"Amazing. He's just like the hero of the Doomsday Watchers in the stories..."

Joshua couldn't help but mutter to himself. He didn't have a clear concept of magic, so he could only compare it to the legendary stories he had heard from the bards.

William, who was standing behind him, curled his lips but didn't say anything.

After the last mighty strike, Cass first stood rooted to the ground in confusion for a while before sighing and pulling out his sword before rushing back.

He walked straight to William and didn't even notice the two children's fervent and adoring gazes. He apologized and said,

"Sorry, William. I subconsciously..."

"You failed that round. Your last strike has probably reached the strength of a Legendary, right? Do you feel that your mind has been affected?"

Cass shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

"Then how do you usually address me?" William asked calmly.

Cass's expression froze.

"No, Presiding Judge, I just..."

Cass's expression kept changing. He originally planned on explaining himself, but he finally sighed and admitted it.

"Do you understand now? Sometimes, it's difficult for even you to realize the influence. Remember, before you completely control this power, you have to control the scale of the power. Obtaining any power comes at a price. Since you've stepped into a realm that others might not be able to reach after decades of bitter cultivation, you have to face a backlash that others won't encounter."

William patted the other party's shoulder.

People from the Bronze Age reminisced about the visages of myths and discovered shadows that could turn themselves into myths through ceremonial magic, starting the Demigod Age. People from the Golden Age learned to restrain their strength through oaths and subsequently entered the Hero Age. In the Platinum Calendar, mages and scholars further dismantled the mysteries of the authority in myths and created modern magical theory, entering the Mortal Age.

It looked like the inheritance of strength was disappearing bit by bit, but in fact, people were slowly escaping the influence of the past and creating a path that belonged to them. At the same time, more and more mortals could come into contact with the mysteries of the world, and not all powers were in the hands of a few.

Humans had also progressed step by step from the Bronze Age of the blood-thirsty tribes to the point where they could build an empire that spanned the entire continent.

Of course, many things had been reverted in the past thousand years.

With this in mind, William said to Cass, "Let's go. According to them, that town has already been occupied by the Bloated Church. You still have a chance to practice in the future, but you have to get used to it quickly. It won't be a small matter like this."
