Chapter 71 A Bite! Escape! Giant Dragon Egg!

Everyone's faces were filled with disbelief. The triangular-eyed man and the rest did not say anything. As mages, they could naturally tell that the Red Crystal was a magic tool, especially the scorching aura and the flames emitted from it.

They guessed that the magic tool contained fire element magic, most likely used to counter Sade's water magic. Its power should also be quite astonishing.

The minister also guessed roughly. After all, all the mages present had run away. One could imagine how incredible the power of the triangular-eyed man's item was.

Therefore, everyone present was ecstatic when they saw Sade catch the Red Crystal directly with his bare hands.

"Good catch! I'll blow you up, you bastard! It'd be best if you were blown into a half-crippled state, just in time to take you in." A series of silent curses came from their mouths.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Sade, waiting for the Red Crystal in Sade's hand to explode. However, their expectations were in vain. Moreover, Sade's following action made them feel a wave of fear.

Sade looked at the Red Crystal in his hand that was about to explode. He did not panic at all, but instead, his face revealed a hint of joy. After sizing it up, Sade opened his mouth and made a swallowing motion towards the Red Crystal filled with fiery flame energy. In an instant, the Red Crystal that was about to explode disappeared.

Sade's face revealed a satisfied expression, "Not bad. It's the first time I've seen such abundant natural magic."

Sade's eyes lit up as he felt that the fire attributed energy he had stored to evolve the fire control suddenly increased significantly. His heart was instantly filled with joy.

Previously, Sade had obtained the energy from the Crimson Fire Ore and turned it into the fuel for the power of the dragon bloodline, where the power in the Dragon Language, 'fire' was born. Since then, Sade had been fascinated by the power born in the language of an elite race, like the Dragon Language. After all, this was a brand new experience for Sade.

Especially after that, he even collected the Crimson Fire Ore to absorb the energy used as a power upgrade for the word 'fire' in the Dragon Language. However, unfortunately, this bit of energy was not enough.

Since the birth of the Dragon Language, 'fire,' its demand for energy of the same attribute, was like a bottomless pit. For example, the energy in the Crimson Fire Ore, which had initially been quite good, had now become unsuitable. It wasn't because the energy was insufficient, but the Dragon language, 'fire', required a considerable amount, as well as high-grade and high-quality energy for a power upgrade.

The magic power in the Red Crystal that Sade had just eaten had reached this level, although it had only slightly increased. Even so, Sade was still very curious about this power. If he could mass-produce it, it would mean that the power in the Dragon Language 'fire' could be upgraded again.

This feeling was even better than the S-level rare card that Sade held in his hand. Yet, Sade was eager to turn this S-level rare card into a SSS or even an SSR card. A secret desire to collect these cards arose in Sade's heart.

Sade pulled his thoughts back to reality. If he wanted to get the power source from the Red Crystal, he could only obtain it from the other party. However, Sade didn't realize that everyone present was stunned after he ate the Red Crystal in one bite.

"Could someone eat a magic tool?"

"This was a magic tool that was infinitely close to that of an archmage."

"Was the person a human?"

The triangular-eyed man was stunned. Despite seeing it with his own eyes, he did not believe that Sade had the power of an archmage. He was not trying to deceive himself, but it was simply unrealistic. No matter how he looked at it, the other party was only a 12 to 14-year-old youth, younger than the rest of them. (In fact, Sade was not even six years old.) He could not understand, but he was still astounded by Sade's action.

"Go! Let's retreat!" As the triangular-eyed man shouted in panic, he immediately took a scroll engraved with dense runes from his mage robe and tore it open without waiting for Sade to react.

"Rip!"

After the scroll was torn open, a wave of power shrouded the triangular-eyed man, Wenke, and the group behind him. Even if Sade had never seen this before, he could tell they were about to escape. Especially the scroll that the triangular-eyed man took out, Sade guessed it was most likely a scroll with a teleportation feature.

Sade did not hold back anymore. He opened his mouth and bit the triangular-eyed man and the others. A mysterious invisible force shrouded the area.

A large part of the triangular-eyed man's original position disappeared, revealing a huge hole. It looked highly peculiar, as if a mysterious force had bitten it off.

Sade had used the power of the Celestials. Yet, even so, the triangular-eyed man and the others had escaped.

After all, the triangular-eyed man's decision was too sudden that they had disappeared before Sade could react.

Sade did not care too much about this as he wanted to live. Sade wanted to use the power of the Dragon Language, 'fire.' However, considering that the power was too overbearing, it might turn this place into a land of molten lava. Considering that this was Philomena's kingdom, he finally chose to use the power of the Celestials. After all, that would be more environmentally friendly.

And now, with the triangular-eyed man and the others fleeing in an instant, Sade looked at the minister and his son, Bob, who were stunned. The minister's face was pale, and his expression became more panicked, with sweat dripping down his face, especially when he saw Sade looking at them.

Initially, the minister had planned to run away. But Sade didn't intend to let him go. He used the power of water control to control the blood in the minister's body, which, in exact, was the water in the minister's body. The water in his body would remain in its original position even if he attempted to move.

The more the minister tried to escape, the more the power of his body would turn into inertia and pull the water out of his body. It was an excruciating process. This method seemed a little cruel, which Sade did not like either as it was too inhumane. However, these people before him were scums who deserved no mercy.

The minister was the first who attempted to escape but was also the first to give up. He sensed something was wrong when he realized that his vision would go black as soon as he moved. So, he didn't dare to move anymore.

The minister was smart, but his son, Bob, was not as bright as him. He finally realized the seriousness of the situation when he saw that his home had been bombarded and turned into a mess. Even the triangular-eyed man and the others had escaped using the teleportation scrolls.

Bob was terrified when Sade gradually walked toward them, and he madly wanted to escape. When he suddenly saw his father standing there without moving, he didn't know whether he should run.

As Sade's figure gradually approached, Bob could see the coldness in his eyes, without emotions. He could feel that Sade was going to kill him. Bob couldn't hold it in any longer, feeling that his life was threatened. He turned around like a mad man and was about to run away.

However, his entire body stopped as he took his first step forward. His initially fat and huge body was twitching non-stop, and his face instantly flushed red. This scene made the minister very puzzled. However, Bob's facial features twisted in the next moment, and blood immediately flowed out from his seven orifices. Blood gushed out from the pores of his skin, turning him into a bloody man.

This scene gave the minister a big fright. It was too terrifying. This was a choice of life and death with just one step. The minister was glad that he did not run away, looking at Bob turning into a bloody man. If he had run away, he would be the one who would have died, not his son Bob.

Little did he know that Bob did not die because Sade suddenly stopped. It wasn't that Sade was indecisive and wanted to spare Bob's life. For a scum like Bob, Sade had no intention of letting him off so easily.

He wanted to hand him over to Philomena, let her hand him over to the Kingdom of Herlock, and let those persecuted deal with him. Sade thought about the young lives that had died in that room earlier and stared at the minister with a gaze as if he wanted to eat him.

"Forgive me! Lord Mage! It wasn't my idea to capture you just now. It was a request by the Third Prince's men!" The minister's expression changed dramatically, and he immediately wanted to kneel and plead for mercy.

However, when he thought of the death of his son, Bob, he suddenly didn't dare to act and maintained his previous posture for a moment. He was in tears as he complained to Sade, saying that this was all instigated by the Third Prince of the Magic Empire. He even blamed the Third Prince, saying that the Third Prince threatened him to do so, and he did it entirely out of self-protection.

However, despite the ministers' various attempts to evade responsibility, Sade remained expressionless and ignored the ministers' shirk.

When Sade was hiding in the corner of the hall, he had used some gadgets bought from the shops in the commercial district to record the entire process. He did not expect that there would be such a magic tool like a video recorder in this world. It was so rare. After all, if there was such a thing, he could have recorded Bob's evil behavior and shown it to Philomena so that she could see what Bob was like in person.

Nonetheless, Sade did not expect the situation to reach this point. Now that he had taken over the minister's residence, Sade was not worried, although the Third Prince's men had escaped, not to mention that their strength was no match for his. Even if they dared to pressure the Kingdom of Herlock with the Empire's majesty, he could expose their actions here as evidence of their participation in the kingdom's internal affairs.

Although he could not stumble the Third Prince directly, he could at least annoy him to death! After making up his mind, Sade immediately planned to tie the minister and Bob up. After all, there was quite a commotion here just now. He believed that it would not be long before the mages stationed in the kingdom rushed over.

There were still treasures hidden by the minister here. He had yet to dig them out. Sade extended his palm at the minister, intending to tie him up first. This action gave the minister a big fright, as he thought that Sade intended to kill him.

"Forgive me, my Lord! Please don't kill me. I have a lot of money. I have also collected a lot of valuable treasures!"

"Money? Valuable treasures?" Hearing the minister's plea, Sade looked disdainful, "Do you think money can buy everything? It seems that you are only worth this much." Sade glanced at the minister and said.

Facing Sade's contempt, the minister was not angry, but instead, he was extremely excited to hear that Sade was willing to talk about his values. Since Sade was willing to negotiate with him about values, he had a bargaining chip and had a chance to survive. And this bargaining chip was what he could offer at the moment.

"Sir Mage, I not only have money, but I have also collected a lot of precious treasures. I even have magic weapons of the archmage level. You are a powerful mage, but I noticed that you don't even have a decent weapon in your hands. Don't you want to have an archmage tool that belongs to you?" The minister looked at Sade with a flattering expression as if he was treating an ancestor. It did not seem like he was facing an enemy who had just taken him down.

If Sade did not know what was going on, he would have thought that the minister was doing it for his sake. However, all of this was fake. Sade knew that the minister reacted this way because his life and safety were in his hands. Sade would probably have peeled off his skin and eaten his flesh if the minister had the slightest bit of resistance.

"Archmage tool? I don't need it!" Sade shook his head and refused.

It was just an archmage-level magic weapon. He could have just picked up some elemental ores in the King's Great Basin and created it with his earth control ability. The magic wand that looked like a fire stick in his hand was a magic tool above the archmage level.

The minister was stunned by Sade's direct refusal, 'What's going on? Aren't you a mage? A magic weapon at the archmage level. Aren't you tempted at all?' Faced with Sade's unconventional moves, the minister was extremely confused, 'Don't you want money, magic treasures, or even a magic tool?'

"Then what exactly do you need?" The minister was extremely flustered.

His mind was constantly thinking about everything that could save his life. Seeing that Sade's gaze was getting colder, his face suddenly revealed a resolute expression as an inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind.

"My Lord, I wonder if you are willing to raise a Magical Pet?"

"A Magical Pet? Are you referring to a Magical Beast Pet? Why would you have a Magical Beast in this place?"

Sade glanced through the surroundings that were ultimately turned into ruins and looked at the minister, who had a teasing expression.

A Magical Beast Pet was a Magical Beast contract on a captured Magical Beast. Once it succeeded, the Magical Beast's body, soul, and even everything would belong to its master, which could be said to be a somewhat overbearing contract. Even if its master told the pet to die, it would not have the slightest hesitation. It was precisely why Sade was very curious.

If the minister kept a powerful Magical Beast Pet, why didn't he order the pet to attack Sade when Sade appeared just now? After all, the power of a Magical Beast was much stronger than that of an ordinary human powerhouse.

Facing Sade's doubts, the Minister looked embarrassed, "It's not a Magical Beast, but a Magical Pet Egg."

"A Magical Beast Egg?" Hearing the minister's words, Sade waved his hand, "Forget it. What's the use of a Magical Beast Egg? Don't tell me to raise a Magical Beast myself." Sade immediately planned to attack the minister as he replied.

This action immediately made the minister anxious, "My Lord! This is a Magical Pet Egg, not a Magical Beast!"

"Not a Magical Beast Egg? Then what is it?" Sade asked.

Facing Sade's question, the minister paused, gritted his teeth, and answered directly, "Sir, that is a Giant Dragon Egg!"

"A Giant Dragon Egg?"

"You have a Giant Dragon Egg here?"
