“What? An Eighth-Grade Magician?!”
The leader... No, the captain’s countenance changed slightly. “Are you sure?”
“No... Not very, but according to the laws of magic, only Magicians that are eighth-grade and above can achieve instant release of fourth-grade spells,” replied the thunder-elemental Magician solemnly.
The other few Magicians also nodded heavily. Magicians could only instantly release spells that were four grades lower than their own Magician grades.
To achieve instant release for fourth-grade spells, one needs to be at least an Eighth-Grade Magician!
“An Eighth-Grade Magician... Things have become rather troublesome.”
The captain’s expression turned rather awful-looking. “However, Eighth-Grade Magicians aren’t that difficult to deal with. That guy’s all alone, and he doesn’t have a magical pet mount to protect him. With the Fire Cloud Mercenaries’ strength, we can defeat him for sure. What’s troublesome are the forces backing him up...”
With sloppy execution came consequences!
An Eighth-Grade Magician was a noble and exalted existence, and they were usually involved with a whole lot of other people.
This was what the captain was the most troubled over!
However, just as the captain was secretly making plans, the Spinning Lightning Drill in Meng Lei’s hand transformed again. The spinning spear suddenly enlarged, and its diameter expanded to two meters wide in an instant.
Boom, boom, boom!
What would happen when a two-meter wide round pillar spun at high speed?
The answer was... A tornado!
Over here, it should be known as “Thun-nado”!
The Thun-nado spun at high speed, and everything that it went near to was crushed to bits. It was as if it possessed a mighty force that could devour everything and destroy anything. The sight of it made one’s heart palpitate in fear and turned their breathing quick and ragged.
“The Fifth-Grade Spell, Violent Thunderstorm!”
Ol’ Amos exclaimed in astonishment, “You actually took only a short second to cast Spinning Lightning Drill and Violent Thunderstorm in succession! That’s also considered instant release! Aren’t you a Seventh-Grade Magician? How come you’re able to achieve instant release for fifth-grade spells?”
“T-that’s the Fifth-Grade Spell, Violent Thunderstorm!”
“Instant release! He actually insta-cast Violent Thunderstorm!”
“Captain, he can do an instant release of fifth-grade spells!”
“H-he... He’s a great N-ninth-Grade Magician!”
“A great Ninth-Grade Magician?!”
The captain’s heart began to convulse intensely, and a hint of hopelessness welled up within him. He had the confidence to defeat an Eighth-Grade Magician, but if the one they’d run into was a great Ninth-Grade Magician...
How the heck were they supposed to fight him?
There was no way they could beat him!
Have they already wussed out with just these?
Meng Lei smiled and stayed quiet. With a casual wave, Violent Thunderstorm suddenly dispersed as if it had never been there before. Just as looks of puzzlement appeared on everyone’s faces...
Roar!
An earth-shattering roar abruptly reached them from above. A savage-looking dragon head suddenly emerged from the dark clouds, followed by its mighty and imposing body!
It was the Seventh-Grade Spell, Thunder Dragon Descends!
“I-instant release of a seventh-grade spell!”
“A S-saint Domain Magician! He’s a Saint Domain Magician!”

Dark clouds billowed, and the dragon’s armored scales gave off a savage feel!
The thunder dragon gave off a majestic aura as it soared into the sky!
A surging wave of pressure emanated from the thunder dragon, so oppressive that everyone’s scalps were tingling, and they couldn’t quite catch their breath.
In Heaven’s Vault Continent, seventh-grade spells were already considered high-grade spells capable of causing massive destruction and containing a fearsome level of destructiveness.
The moment a seventh-grade spell fully struck an Eighth-Grade Warrior, they would suffer serious injuries even if they survived. This was the reason why every single person present there was so fearful of the thunder dragon above.
However, the most fearsome thing here was that...
The casting of Thunder Dragon Descends had been completed in just two to three breaths. This meant that it was an instant release of... a seventh-grade spell!
“A Saint Domain Magician!”
“He’s a Saint Domain Magician!”
“C-captain, he’s a Saint Domain Magician! He’s... a Saint Domain!”
The Magicians’ legs trembled while their countenances filled with shock and fear. A Saint Domain, a lofty Saint Domain high up above... A Saint Domain was actually standing right in front of them!
“S-saint Domain!!”
Fear appeared on the faces of the captain and everyone else from the Fire Cloud Mercenaries. There was none of the self-confidence and courage from earlier anymore.
They could fight an Eighth-Grade Magician, but if the one they’d run into was a Ninth-Grade Magician, then they would have to flee, much less when it was a Saint Domain?!
“S-sir, we were too full of ourselves and ignorant and ended up affronting you. We’re willing to offer up this Titanic Dragon-Ape, so I hope you can forgive our sins, sir!”
The captain reacted very quickly. He dropped onto his knees with a loud thud, and hurriedly began to beg for mercy. One by one, the other members of Fire Cloud Mercenaries also knelt down and begged for mercy.
Even though they were extremely unwilling and reluctant to part with their kill, they didn’t possess even a shred of desire to fight back at all when facing a Saint Domain. What they had was just the desire to survive.
In Heaven’s Vault Continent, one could offend anybody, with the sole exception of Saint Domains. Otherwise, even their deaths would be in vain.
So what even if that was a Ninth-Grade Magical Beast? When placed in front of their lives, it could be discarded all the same.
“You may live, but dismember the Titanic Dragon-Ape first!”
Meng Lei’s voice was aloof and distant. He’d initially wanted to kill them, but the moment he saw the towering Titanic Dragon-Ape, he changed his mind at once.
That was such a massive lump of meat. How long would it take if he were to handle
