Mage Manual-Chapter 1419 - 1037: You Were Toyed With Emotionally (Part 2)

"A classic villain image..." Adelle murmured.

"He’s not just an image," Aisha said. "His earliest deeds originated from the Kingdom of Blood Moon. At that time, he was just the leader of the Four Pillars God Sect. A year ago, he was accidentally caught and imprisoned, but that was just the beginning of his legend."

"He escaped from prison and orchestrated the public execution of the mayor, becoming the most notorious criminal in the Kingdom of Blood Moon—he wasn’t even a Mage when he was caught!"

"After reaching the Kingdom of Gospel through the Void Realm, he somehow charmed the director of the Funeral Service Office. Now Hanna Doran, the second most powerful political figure in Gospel, has been coerced to desecrate the Weaving Festival. He even broke into the Imperial Palace and killed the Empress of Gospel, attempting to steal the Gospel’s Divine Being. If not for Hanna and Lissdia, who was still a Princess at the time, fighting desperately, he could have taken the national Divine Being with his Holy Sanctuary Mage capabilities!"

"Even more terrifying is that he went to the Kingdom of Senluo. With the ’Doomsday Silver Lamp,’ ’Ghost Prophet,’ and the leader of the Senluo Four Pillars God Sect, ’Mercury Wooden Horse,’ together they destroyed the foundation of the Kingdom of Senluo, causing millions to die without burial. Lord Senluo even fell because of it. The Kingdom of Senluo, one of the six nations, remains a doomsday wasteland, a forbidden zone for any living being!"

"After destroying Senluo, he came to the Kingdom of Stars." Aisha glanced around the room: "You all know what happened next. Of course, you might not know—"

"He almost sabotaged the Supreme Star’s plan. At that time, he was merely a Legendary Mage, yet he could already rival the six Divine Lords."

Everyone’s mouths opened slightly, lips quivering, too shocked to speak. While escaping prison, executing the mayor, breaking into the Imperial Palace, and assassinating the Empress might have been imaginable, destroying Senluo and confronting the Divine Lords were beyond their wildest fantasies.

Destroying an entire world, leaving millions dead... what kind of concept is that?

They originally thought Ash pulverizing the Starry Sky was already an outrageous crime, but little did they know it was merely one of his great achievements, not even worthy of special mention.

"Wait," Adelle noticed a blind spot: "He was captured a year ago, so all this happened within ten months?"

"Exactly." Aisha nodded: "He also became a Demigod Mage within a year... just like Sonia."

"But Sonia has been studying diligently in school all the time," Adelle murmured. "How did that bastard manage to wreak havoc from one nation to another without rest? Is causing chaos such a joy to him? What an ’Employee of the Year’?"

"You’re insulting Sonia’s lover now," Lois reminded.

"Do you really believe someone like him genuinely likes Sonia?" Adelle retorted, "How could Sonia possibly like someone so wicked... I even suspect Sonia might be enchanted by him."

Ingrid asked: "But he was previously in other nations, how does he contact Sonia?"

"On this matter, both the Prophet Mages and Spirit Mages unanimously agree that he likely has a way to contact Sonia within the Void Realm, maybe even help her ascend," Aisha said. "This also explains why we can’t find any trace of Sonia communicating with him—the Void Realm is a territory beyond our surveillance."

"As for whether he likes Sonia... let’s put it this way, do you believe this planner of numerous nation-level heinous events, who ascended to Demigod within a year, is really just a young man in his twenties?"

Reonie suddenly said, "Could he be the same type as the Ghost Prophet?"

Thanks to the spread of the "Ghost Manual," the most famous Demigod among the six nations is the "Ghost Prophet," even ordinary people know about this evil Demigod who reincarnated after his vicious deeds to hunt down geniuses.

"Exactly!" Aisha nodded vigorously. "We strongly suspect he is also an ancient Resurrection Mage, perhaps the Ghost Prophet was his subordinate back then... maybe even the Ghost Prophet was awakened by him!"

"Can you imagine someone like the Ghost Prophet genuinely liking anyone? Ash Heath’s affection for Sonia is likely not much stronger than the Ghost Prophet’s liking for Ralafe."

"One is a deeply scheming, powerful, and charming Reborn One, the other is a naive and innocent female college student." Aisha swirled her wine glass and sighed: "Even without the Spirit Miracle, Sonia would succumb like stepping into a trap, infatuated with him." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Although they did not entirely agree with ’naive and innocent,’ the Female Mages still acknowledged Aisha’s conclusion.

"An ancient monster, living for thousands of years, manipulating Sonia from above." Adelle took a fierce bite of an apple: "This man is too despicable!"

"How could he wreak havoc in four nations consecutively and still remain free if he wasn’t despicable?" Lois sighed: "We thought Sonia had found someone who truly loves her, but now it seems..."

Reonie sighed: "The junior is still oblivious, still following that man..."

"We don’t have much optimism about Sonia’s future," Aisha said. "She will likely lose herself to that man, fight battles for him, even sacrifice for him out of love at critical moments. She will be his bedmate, weapon, and shield; a man like Ash Heath will undoubtedly exploit her value until she withers and falls."
