“Oh, how gratifying indeed.”

Having witnessed Farbion perish under the meteor shower, Shane, floating midair in Artlu Canyon, felt a clarity of mind and a surge of satisfaction wash over his face.

“You really went through with it.”

Ai Yi, who appeared next to Shane at some unknown time, similarly observed the situation in the canyon from a great distance, her eyes filled with astonishment as she gazed at Shane.

Turning his head, Shane immediately saw Ai Yi, nonchalantly floating next to him, as if nothing was amiss.

Behind the young girl sprouted a pair of dragon wings, allowing her to effortlessly keep pace with Shane.

“Did you see all that?”

Shane grinned at Ai Yi.

“At the very least, I couldn’t possibly have missed that meteor shower or the enormous Magic Power it released,” Ai Yi expressed her astonishment. “Was that Celestial Magic?”

“Yes, and it’s even considered the strongest Upper Level Magic within Celestial Magic,” Shane admitted openly with a nod. “How about that? Not bad, right?”

“It’s not just ‘not bad.’ If you hadn’t deliberately contained its range, I’m afraid even the canyon itself would have been completely destroyed,” Ai Yi sincerely exclaimed. “I never imagined you would use such ancient magic. I remember when it was created, the difficulty in learning it was so great that countless members of the Demon Clan were deterred from even attempting.”

If it were Basic or Intermediate level, people would have still learned this magic a long time ago.

However, to Shane’s knowledge, possibly fewer than three people since ancient times have been able to advance this magic to the Upper Level.

In light of this, the magic gradually became abandoned and eventually lost.

“I never thought I’d see the day this magic resurfaced,” Ai Yi marveled. “Also, the power of your Celestial Magic seems much stronger than what I knew.”

Receiving such high praise from Ai Yi was unusual.

Even Shane was taken aback.

After all, Shane was well aware that despite her explosively cute appearance, this hidden powerhouse was truly proud at heart. Earning her genuine praise wasn’t easy unless he significantly flattered her maturity and non-childish demeanor, or aligned exactly with her tastes.

Now, however, the girl couldn’t stop extolling Shane’s Celestial Magic, which certainly indicated her surprise.

Shane could gladly accept that.

Because, magicians who had advanced Celestial Magic to the Upper Level were exceedingly rare throughout history, and even at the Basic Level, no one seemed capable of using it in modern times.

Shane, however, had managed to revive it, and with such formidable power, he truly deserved Ai Yi’s commendation.

However…

“Is this really okay for you?” Ai Yi asked with a smile that was not quite a smile. “Those guys were supposed to be knights of the Kingdom, and influential nobles at that?”

Having obliterated such significant figures with just one spell of Celestial Magic, trouble was undoubtedly brewing.

Not to mention, following this battle, as the foundational force protecting the nation, the Kingdom Knights would surely suffer a great loss of vitality.

Coupled with the near extinction of the Galuo Li family’s main pillars, the Kingdom’s combat strength was severely damaged.

Had this occurred during a war, the neighboring countries would likely seize the chance to attack the Mitra Kingdom.

Under such circumstances, as the main instigator, Shane could not possibly avoid being held responsible.

He might even end up completely opposed by the Kingdom.

Shane was certainly aware of this.

Yet, he proceeded anyway.

The reason was simple.

“First, the Galuo Li family has already conspired here with the Old Demon Clan Faction, planning to seize power. As long as there’s evidence, my eradicating them not only carries no guilt but is actually meritorious.”

“Secondly, even without evidence to prove all this, given the power I have shown now, coupled with the fact that people within the Royal Family likely support me, I don’t think they would dare to touch me easily.”

“Thirdly, the Human Race is much more complex than you imagine. As an essential force guarding the nation, the Kingdom Knights have been monopolized by an ambitious Noble. I cannot believe that the Royal Family would remain indifferent to this, nor can I believe that other Nobles would want to see this situation continue. Therefore, with this incident happening, they would surely find ways to justify it and push all the blame onto the Galuo Li Family, so they could overthrow the Galuo Li Family and fiercely take a bite from this massive cake.”

Thus, Shane casually listed three reasons why he would remain unscathed.

“Is that so?” Ai Yi nodded, understandingly, “Is this why you deliberately let those knights and Adventurers at the entrance go?”

Indeed, Shane had limited the effect of the “Aurora Meteor Shower” to the camp, destroying everything within the camp, yet sparing the group of knights and Adventurers guarding the canyon entrance.

They should now be blown away by the dust stirred up by the meteor shower or disoriented and sprawled on the ground, but they wouldn’t be seriously harmed.

In this way, by the time they returned to the Royal Capital and reported the incident, Shane believed that doubt would certainly arise among the people there.

For instance, why would the Galuo Li Family disregard the orders of the Princess and forcefully blockade the canyon.

At that time, when Shane revealed their collaboration with the Old Demon Clan Faction, even without evidence, they would still be half-convinced.

That was the effect Shane wanted.

“Half-convinced, coupled with the fear of my power and the support from people on my side, I should be safe, right?”

That was what Shane thought.

“And besides, aren’t you here too?”

Shane grinned at Ai Yi.

Ai Yi was initially taken aback then quickly understood.

So, was this man planning to use her influence?

“If you were to protect me, the Human Race wouldn’t dare to touch me for fear of angering you, right?”

Shane’s smile was radiant yet also irritating enough to make Ai Yi want to hit him.

“Are you that sure I’d protect you?”

Ai Yi retorted, annoyed.

Shane didn’t even hesitate .

“Of course,” Shane declared decidedly, “If you don’t protect me, then I’ll just flee to the Demon Realm and sporadically cast Upper Level Celestial Magic on the Demon Realm’s territory to see if you’d feel sorry.”

“You…” Ai Yi looked astonished.

Clearly, even she hadn’t expected Shane to be so shameless.

Seeing Ai Yi’s astonished expression, Shane laughed heartily while he couldn’t resist pinching her cute little face.

“Let’s go. Let’s get rid of the troublesome ones quickly. Lasha might have already prepared dinner.”

With that, Shane descended to the ground.

Only then did Ai Yi react, angered.

“Dare to threaten me?”

“And dare to pinch my face?”

“Stop right there!”

Ai Yi immediately flared her Dragon Wings and chased after him.

Thus, two figures began to play hide and seek in the midair of the canyon.

Outside the canyon, the meteor shower gradually stopped as well, leaving a devastated land full of giant craters, resembling the surface of the moon, looking startlingly alarming.
