The gentle evening breeze in the air, the fluttering flames on the torches, and even the branches swinging in the wind all solidified at this moment. Even the color of everything faded away, leaving only black and white between the sky and the earth. , the corners of Fire Queen Catherine's mouth slightly raised, and began to dance a powerful magic circle: "Lich Magic Circle: Years."
However, just when Catherine's magic was only half completed, a gray shadow broke through the shackles of time and came to her side silently. Catherine looked at the gray shadow standing proudly beside her in disbelief. Watching him wave his arms across her throat, Catherine heard a majestic voice in her ears,
Catherine couldn't tell what the voice was saying, maybe because time had stopped, but after hearing this majestic voice, Catherine felt endless panic in her heart. Even as a legendary powerhouse, Catherine still resisted She couldn't help but feel the horror from her heart. She had only experienced this feeling from her teacher, the demigod lich.
Catherine was so frightened that during the remaining time of the magic of stopping time, she did not make any move at all. She just stood there with a blank mind. When time resumed its movement, Catherine involuntarily turned around and ran away. She didn't understand why she was so scared, but she just couldn't control her actions...
"Ah." Catherine woke up from her sleep. She was breathing heavily, sweating profusely, and looking around in shock. Only then did she realize that she had returned to Wangyue City, and was in her residence at Wangyue City Magic Academy. Catherine took She put the pajama jacket on her side and gently opened the window of the room, letting the bright moonlight shine on her body.
"Impossible, that feeling is obviously high-level coercion, and the only creatures on this continent that can not be bound by time are..." Catherine looked up at the bright full moon and thought thoughtfully: "Can it be said that even they He has also joined Ryan’s camp like the elves, so it seems that we must ask the teacher for more support.”

"The situation was like this. I couldn't just sit back and watch." Ghalib stood on the cliff behind the Iron Fist Castle with his hands held high, while Ryan stood behind him.
"It turns out you really took action. I heard Faras and the others describe the scene at that time, and I guessed it must be you, otherwise no one here would be able to deal with Catherine who has reached the legendary level." Ryan said excitedly: "Thank you, teacher, otherwise if… "
"There's no need to say these polite words." Jialib waved his hand and interrupted Ryan's words. He turned around, his eyes were like lightning and locked firmly on Ryan's figure. Looking at Ryan, his heart felt slightly. , I don’t know what my teacher is planning to do,
"You are a fairly qualified student, Ryan, but you are not a qualified teacher." Ghalib smiled slightly and spoke about a completely different topic from before: "Lian, I can't stand on the same page every time." By your side, so everything ultimately depends on you and the companions around you.”
"Lian, although you haven't developed much in martial arts, it doesn't matter. In fact, whether it's martial arts or magic, when you enter the legendary realm, you will find that they are essentially the same. They are nothing more than more clever use of more magic. It’s just a powerful force.”
"Looking at you, you have probably understood how to proceed with that step. I believe that in time you will step into the legendary realm. Ryan, from the time you started learning martial arts with me until you specialized in magic and then entered the legendary realm, it has only been ten years. That’s all, as a human with mediocre talents, this is already quite rare.”
When Ryan heard the teacher praising him, he replied with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, teacher. It all depends on your guidance."
"You don't have to be humble, Ryan, that's why I said you are a qualified student, but you are not a good teacher." Ghalib raised his eyebrows and said in a loud voice: "The former Archmage Meren With the outstanding talent of the half-elf, it took him more than 20 years to enter the legendary realm. However, the most talked about of his achievements is that he taught countless outstanding students, including 374 students at the magister level and 77 at the grand magister level. Although there were only four people who later entered the legendary realm, this is already a pretty terrifying achievement."
Ryan took a breath of air when he heard this. He never thought that the great mage Melen would have such achievements. This definitely doesn't require just entering the legendary realm to be more respectable.
Ghalib's tone became serious: "Look around you again. Your wife Farasi was promoted to the Grand Mage with the help of Melen's shadow, and she has almost no potential in the future. That Allen Duo If it weren’t for chance, and I’m still wandering outside the door now, tell me, Ryan, besides these two people, do you have any talents around you that are worth using?”
"Hmph, I learned to be merciful to others at a young age. Those Vivian and Adela have already become famous around you, and that little thief Sophie, their eyes are different every time they see you. As long as you are willing, It’s probably another Vivian, and there’s Ceres, Scheina, Barbara… not even one of them can stand alone.”
"If I were your enemy, I would not confront you directly. I would just spend some time looking for opportunities. Whether it's Vivian or Adela, killing just one of them will make you sad for the rest of your life. Don't think that What is the use of mithril armor and armor made of Hydra skin? Don’t forget that the Shadow Sword I gave you is enough to break through most of the protection in this world, and what if you enter the legendary realm? , he’s not a loser who can’t even protect his own woman.”
Ghalib's serious words made Ryan feel like he was drenched in a bucket of cold water from head to toe. Although it was hot summer, Ryan's whole body was extremely cold. When he thought that the enemy could attack his weak point at any time, Ryan felt as if he was in a dangerous place. His body was even trembling slightly, just like in the solid ice that had never melted for thousands of years.
When Ghalib saw Ryan's pale face, he knew that he had listened to what he said. Ghalib had always been very satisfied with this student, so naturally he couldn't just sit back and watch, so he comforted Ryan and said, "Okay. , we still have time to make up for this problem, Ryan, please remember that a person's strength is only temporary. If you can't make everyone around you stronger, then your burden will become bigger and bigger. , will eventually bring you down, unless you can be ruthless."
Ryan shook his head slowly. He couldn't do this at all. Whether it was his parents, wife, Vivian and the others, as well as his friends Alan Duo, Shaina, and student Barbara... Ryan's strength changed. The stronger he gets, the heavier the burden on him becomes. It is impossible for him to escape and leave.
"Please give me some advice." Ryan bowed deeply to Ghalib and said in a respectful tone,
