The blood gradually dyed the entire area red. Even the surface of the lake, which was shining with silver moonlight, gradually turned red.
After nearly three days of hunting, it was finally the end.
There were few hunters left standing.
The monster that they were hunting was panting heavily. After three days of continuously facing the human wave tactic, it had almost exhausted its stamina.
“Roar!”
The monster let out a furious roar unwillingly. Its pair of golden beast eyes were filled with resentment, anger and… a trace of cunningness. It stared intently at Karl who was standing not far away.
Karl narrowed his eyes and looked at the monster that was roaring at him. His heart was still filled with shock.
To be able to last for three days and three nights against 30 Silver Hunters and even wipe them out.

Even though he had lived for nearly a hundred years, he had never seen or heard of such a terrifying monster.
Unfortunately, this monster’s physical strength had already reached the critical point.
Now, it was at his mercy!
Just as Karl was about to take action, a group of people suddenly entered his line of sight.
It was Edward and the others who had rushed over from the Land of Fog.
At this moment, Edward also noticed the old man standing in front of him, a wounded lion-headed snake monster, and a pile of broken corpses.
“Young Master Edward, the one in front seems to be one of the 13 higher-ups of the Lawless Land, Karl. And that monster covered in blood… has a very strong aura!”
Karl looked at Edward and suddenly smiled.
Silver?
The strongest person in the group was only a Silver rank!
“The team in front, come here. I’m Karl from the Lawless Land. This monster in front of us is the source of the beast tide.”
Edward frowned at the hoarse voice.
He hated the tone that this person was using!
More importantly, he did not like people issuing orders to him!
Not to mention that this was only a Sky Knight who was going to die soon.
“As long as you help me deal with the monster in front of me, I will give each of you 600 gold coins as remuneration when we return to the Lawless Land!”
Karl had his own plans.
He had also seen the cunningness in the eyes of this dying monster.
It was not in line with his character to advance recklessly.
But now, there was a team of free laborers. Where else could he find such a good thing!
“There’s only one type of person in this world who wouldn’t stand in my way!”
Under Karl’s puzzled gaze, Edward slowly drew his sword and pointed it at Karl’s face.
He wanted to attack Karl?
Under Karl’s seemingly mocking gaze, the sword was swung!
Edward, who was standing where he was a second ago, appeared before Karl’s shocked eyes.
The heart-wrenching pain in his chest was frantically reminding him that this was not an illusion!
Edward watched expressionlessly as the sword slashed upwards from Karl’s chest.
As the blood fell from the sky, Edward slowly walked towards the wary monster. Behind him, a corpse with his upper body split in half fell onto the grass.
“Karl of the Lawless Land, a Sky Knight, was dismembered by Young Master Edward in one strike?!”
The knight who had scouted out the Lawless Land muttered to himself in shock. His mind instantly went blank.
How strong was Young Master Edward now?
They did not dare to imagine.
Edward had a calm expression on his face. That was merely the leader of the Lawless Land who hid in the deep mountains.
It was obvious that he could not match Edward.
Now that he was a Curse Wizard, even if the King of the Levi Empire came, he would still get slashed into two.
Before obtaining the traveling wizard’s notes, his biggest dream was to inherit his father’s title and marry a few beautiful noble ladies.
But now that he had a wider vision, he was not even interested in the throne of the Levi Empire.
As for the consequences of killing the King?
Naturally, that was to change the name of the Levi Empire to Feylan Empire!
“Roar!”
The monster let out a warning as loud as thunder when it saw Edward approaching.
Although Karl was dead, the hatred and anger in its heart did not disappear.
Humans should die!
The sharp claws that blotted out the sky slapped at Edward, opening its mouth wide as it prepared to bite the thin body.
“Young Master Edward!” Alicia called out worriedly.
The four knights seemed to have become numb to this situation and were used to it.
Young Master Edward was a chosen one blessed by the gods, he was only fighting a mere half-dead beast.
The three of them looked down on him.
“System, scan the creature in front of us!”
[System prompt message: Analysis complete. According to the system’s speculation, this is a mutated beast that has been absorbing Spirit Enlightenment Spring Water all year round. It already has the supernatural characteristics of a mysterious creature. Mystery level 1. According to the alchemy records, its corpse can be used as an alchemy material!]
Edward’s eyes lit up. Alchemy was one of the major professions of wizards. He had been worrying about finding materials, and now he found some.
“I’ll reward you with a dignified death!”
The bloodline suppression that came from the curse’s power directly affected the supernatural creature’s body.
The creature that was still roaring angrily suddenly rolled its eyes and fainted on the ground.
The longsword stabbed into the lion’s head, and the next moment, the head separated from the snake body.
Edward summoned the knights behind him and brought back the source of the beast tide.
The knights were numb with shock.
What exactly did Young Master Edward obtain from the ruins?!
Even the Royal Knight Commanders who founded the Levi Empire were not as brave as Young Master Edward!
Edward did not care if he was exposed or not. As a Curse Wizard, his mindset had changed drastically after entering the world of mysteries.
He went from a frog in a well to a Wizard who could travel around the world.
No one knew what kind of legendary story he had experienced to get this far.
His target had always been the Central Continent in the deep sea, where the Wizards originated from.
He walked to the Silvery Moon Lake, which was contaminated by blood. Through the system’s scan results, he confirmed that below it was the special spring water used for Spirit Enlightenment. Next, he had to do the final step of this ritual.
The bloodline of the Snake of Curses allowed him to hold his breath underwater for at least two hours.
He placed his clothes on the shore and dived into the water under the blushing gaze of his maid, Alicia.
About half an hour later, Edward came out.
The ritual at the bottom of the lake only lasted half an hour. Now, he had successfully obtained the special trait, Elemental Affinity.
Edward could clearly sense the elemental attributes in the forest and could even manipulate them from thin air!
