Chapter 51: Magic Artifact Fragment, Level 7

"..."

Ronan fell silent.

The black-haired man seemed to have regained some composure, his face pale as he gave Ronan a slight nod.

"Even if facing an Advanced Zero Rank Magic Beast, as an Advanced Apprentice Wizard with spiritual power that has reached Vaporization, such a pitiful display should not have occurred..."

Ronan, with a contemplative expression, took deliberate steps towards the black-haired man and said meaningfully, "It looks like you might have a secret?"

The black-haired man's complexion changed drastically, and the skinny male wizard beside him quickly explained, "Lord Francois was just accidentally frightened..."

The black-haired man had barely nodded twice when he heard Ronan's indifferent voice.

"Forget it, if you don't want to talk, I'll just have to kill you all and find out for myself..."

"No, don't!"

The black-haired man screamed, his voice coming out like the high-pitched quack of a drake as the aura of strength he had was gone instantly.
