Lian Dan laughed and said, "You don’t need to deny it, from the moment you first saw that kid, there was something different in your eyes. Others may not know you, but don’t I? Now you’ve even sent him a token of love, and he has accepted, it’s finally definite between you two. Ah, you have a good future set, and we can finally report to your deceased father. Our master would also be happy for you."

Upon the mention of her deceased father by Lian Dan, Di Ya’s eyes reddened, and she softly said, "Thank both of you for looking after me all this time. Since my father passed away, you two and our master are my only family. I... I do have feelings for him, but the four elders have captured them before, could he still hold a grudge?"

Zhu Yuan said with a smile, "Don’t worry, little junior sister, people who can cultivate the Holy Light to such a level must be broad-minded. That kid is not calculating, and you have apologized to him, he should not be too petty about it. Now, my only worry is that you are not of the church, and if you want to be with him in the future, you may encounter some difficulties."

Upon hearing Zhu Yuan’s words, Di Ya tensed up and, without being shy anymore, urgently asked, "What can I do then? I’m the chief of the Yajin Tribe and I can’t join the Church!"

Lian Dan laughed and said, "Don’t listen to your second senior brother’s nonsense, you don’t necessarily have to join the church. As long as you are a true believer of the Sky God, you can marry someone from the church. That kid’s identity is rather extraordinary, isn’t he? Didn’t Elder Tian Luo say that he is the direct grandson of the Pope? With his identity, he is worthy of you. Plus, with his profound magic cultivation, maybe you might become the wife of the Pope in the future! Speaking of it, the fact that the four elders are so powerful was something I never thought of before. With their combined strength, even our master would have a hard time dealing with them. Soul magic, this is my first time hearing about it. And Elder Tian Luo is quite cunning. He made you relate with Ah Dai and Xuan Re because they are the Saviors. A thousand years ago, those who followed the Savior God Feather ended up with a very good outcome. If there really is a millennium catastrophe, the Savior is the beacon in the darkness. As long as the Yajin Tribe follows him, it will definitely be able to pull through."

Di Ya nodded and said, "Yes! The four elders planned everything very far in advance. It seems that I am still too inexperienced. I should learn from them in the future. Elder Tian Luo has already agreed to teach me soul magic. Ever since I saw Ah Dai’s martial arts, I have had no confidence in myself. Big brother, he’s truly amazing. His fighting ability can completely restrict my actions. Maybe he’s already reached our master’s realm of the Sword Saint. The contest of the four Sword Saints will take place in two years, and judging from Ah Dai, I’m afraid our master might not have the upper hand this time!"

Lian Dan gave a slight smile and said, "You don’t have to feel sorry for your master. He once said that the cultivation of the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang has reached the peak of human capabilities, and it is almost impossible to defeat him. In recent years, I believe that the competitive spirit has waned in his heart. In two years’ time, the top specialists from the four continents may just get together to chat and enjoy some tea."

As Di Ya was reminded of the miraculous martial arts of her master, the Eastern Sword Saint, she couldn’t help but feel slightly entranced, murmuring to herself, "If that’s really the case, it would be wonderful."

Lian Dan said, "We’ve been here for so many days, it’s about time for us to go back. There are a lot of things in the mercenary group waiting for us to handle. The competition between mercenaries is very fierce these days. Besides our Red Charming Mercenary Group, there are several new top-class mercenary groups. With tens of thousands of my men waiting to be fed, we must secure some lucrative tasks. Di Ya, you must seize your own happiness. There may be countless suitors for an extraordinary person like Xuan Re. You must seize your chance! Don’t miss out on your lifetime happiness just because of shyness."

The shyness that Di Ya had just overcome resurfaced, but she took in Lian Dan’s words, nodding gently and saying softly, "I know, in the future, we will definitely have the chance to meet."

Lian Dan said to Zhu Yuan, "Second brother, let’s go. Riding fast horses, we should be able to get back to Red Hurricane City within five days. I just received news that the Moon Scar Mercenary Group is undercutting our prices and has taken some of our business."

Zhu Yuan frowned, saying, "This Moon Scar Mercenary Group doesn’t act like a superior mercenary group at all. They only accept tasks of grade one or below and push the prices very low, making it hard for us to survive."

Lian Dan replied helplessly, "We have no choice, they’re a superior mercenary group, they have a certain appeal. If it comes to it, we may have to lower our prices to stay competitive. The advanced tasks are just too challenging. I don’t want to see any more casualties among the men. How could I explain that to their families! Anyway, little sister, we’re going to rest right now and hit the road first thing tomorrow morning. You’ve got a lot going on, so there’s no need to see us off. If anything comes up, send someone to find us in Red Hurricane City. Your brothers will always be your staunch backers. I know you’re busy, but you also need to rest. If your master finds out you’ve lost weight, I won’t be let off lightly!" Finishing his speech, Lian Dan burst into hearty laughter.

Once Ah Dai and his party of four left the Clan Leader’s Mansion, Olivia immediately sidled up to Xuan Yue, looking at the dagger in her hand, with Kino also curiously gathering on the other side. The dagger, including the handle, was only eight inches long, even shorter than Ah Dai’s Sword of Hades, it had a green shark skin sheath, with two straps on the sheath, this seemed to be designed to be strapped to the arm or leg. A light blue gemstone was embedded on the handle. From the outside, apart from the modern sheath, it seemed to have no special features.

Xuan Yue frowned and said, "What are you all looking at? Haven’t you ever seen a dagger before?" She raised her hand and gently drew the dagger from the sheath; a gleaming light appeared, making Ah Dai and the other three feel a chill. Ah Dai, on impulse, exclaimed, "What a great sword." Xuan Yue was also a little surprised and gazed closely at the short sword in her hand. The gleam on the blade of the sword presented a faint shimmer, just like a clear autumn water. A light wave of the sword brought with it a bit of cold air. The edge of the dagger was very thin. Just by looking at it, one could sense its sharpness. Engraved on the handle were two small characters—Autumn Water. Xuan Yue pulled a strand of hair from her head, let it loose, and let it slowly float to the ground. She picked up the dagger, with the sharp end facing upward. When the blue hair touched the dagger, it split into two as if there was no resistance, and fell lightly. "Ah!" Xuan Yue exclaimed, "It can split a hair follicle just by its weight! How could she give me something so precious?"

Ah Dai took the dagger from Xuan Yue’s hand, channeled his True Qi, and a three feet long, resplendent white light immediately shone from the blade. Ah Dai casually waved it, white light flashed, and a groove immediately formed on the ground. Ah Dai exclaimed, "It’s really sharp! Brother, this gift you received is not small! Seems like Clan Leader Di Ya has really taken a liking to you."

Xuan Yue was taken aback, asking, "What intention?" Ah Dai widened his eyes, saying, "Brother, don’t tell me you’re even more clueless than I am. She gave you such a precious thing, it’s clear that she likes you!"

A strange sensation filled Xuan Yue’s body, making her want to laugh. She found it funny that she, disguised as a man, could attract such attention. Does Di Ya really like me?

Ah Dai saw Xuan Yue’s smile and thought she was excited about Di Ya. "Di Ya, the Clan Leader, is worthy of you. Her looks and status match yours. Brother, you must treat her well." Xuan Yue glared at Ah Dai before saying, "Brother, stop trying to play matchmaker. I will give this dagger to you. Nothing is going to happen between Di Ya and me." Then she threw the sheath to him.

Ah Dai caught the sheath, his dissatisfaction with Xuan Yue’s attitude apparent. He said, "Brother, how could you do this? Isn’t Di Ya, the Clan Leader, good enough for you?"

Xuan Yue responded with a wry smile, "It’s not about whether she is good enough or not. It’s just impossible between us. We may not even have a chance to meet in the future. You keep the dagger for now and return it to her when you have a chance. I really don’t want to go back there, let’s leave now."

Ah Dai wanted to say more, but Olivia stepped in, "Let it go. How can we force someone into a relationship? Since our brother Xuan Re doesn’t like Di Ya, we can’t force him to!"

Ah Dai sighed, saying, "Brother, I’m not trying to force you. I just think Di Ya is quite fitting for you. But if you’re not willing, then forget it. Just keep the dagger and return it to her soon to avoid giving her false hopes. It’ll only cause problems for you," Xuan Yue suddenly felt a surge of anger. She sneered, "You’re very concerned about others’ feelings. But what about yours? What about your feelings? All you know is how to avoid them." After saying that, she angrily walked away. Olivia and Kino were surprised as they had never seen Xuan Yue lose her temper. Ah Dai stood statue-like, his heart aching. He thought, ’I’m not qualified to meddle in other people’s affairs. I can’t even express my feelings for Yue Yue.’

Kino nudged Ah Dai, asking, "Boss, what’s wrong?"

Ah Dai returned to his senses, gazing ahead at the disappearing figure of Xuan Yue in the distance. He sighed deeply, tucked the dagger back into its sheath, and stored it in his chest. He said, "Let’s go. We’ll discuss this matter later." He took the lead and followed Xuan Yue. Olivia and Kino exchanged glances, Kino muttered, "What happened? Why are they so angry?" Olivia didn’t argue with him for the first time. He shrugged and said, "Only the Sky God would know. We better catch up."

Kino stuck close to Olivia and chuckled, "Brother, can I have some of your rations? I haven’t eaten for days, I’m starving."

Olivia glared at him, "All you know is eat." Despite his complaints, he reached into his spatial bag, took out several large flatbreads, and handed them to Kino. He saved one for himself and took a big bite. Although the bread was dry, it was enough to stave off hunger. They ate while they quickly pursued the others.

When they reached the east gate of Andis City, they found many soldiers guarding it. Artisans were working overnight to repair the massive gate. The gate was made of fine iron. It was so large that it had to be welded in sections, then plated with a layer of steel. The left gate was already repaired, the right one was near completion.

Xuan Yue frowned at the sight of the guards. If they wanted to leave the city now, they would need to negotiate with these soldiers. She was in a terrible mood, and didn’t want to bother.

Ah Dai walked up to Xuan Yue and looked at the soldiers guarding the gate. He quietly said, "Let’s find a place to rest and wait for dawn to leave the city."

Xuan Yue looked at Ah Dai’s dull expression, her heart softened, and she nodded gently. The four discussed and decided that it wouldn’t be appropriate to return to the Mage Guild with Kino. Therefore, they found a nearby inn. Surprisingly, business was booming and there was only one room left.

"What should we do? Should we look for another?" Olivia asked Ah Dai.

Ah Dai thought for a moment and said, "We’re all tired, let’s just stay here. After all, we’re only here to meditate and recover." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Olivia nodded in agreement, paid for the room, and they followed the staff to a standard room on the second floor. The room had two large beds. With the lateness of the evening, the inn could not provide meal service, so they had to eat some of Olivia’s rations. After eating, Olivia and Kino sat cross-legged on one bed and started meditating. Xuan Yue, on the other hand, leaned against the bed, lost in thought.

Ah Dai removed the magic robe that was covering his strong outfit, sat next to Xuan Yue and took out the dagger Di Ya had given him. He spoke softly, "Since you don’t want to return it now, keep it with you. It’s always good to have a weapon for self-defense." As he spoke, he lifted the hem of Xuan Yue’s ritual robe and the leg of her trousers, revealing her fair skin. He carefully fastened the dagger sheath and tightened the strapping on Xuan Yue’s leg. Xuan Yue’s face flushed. Since meeting Ah Dai again, although they often shared the same bed, this was the first time Ah Dai touched her skin. The warmth from Ah Dai’s big hand caused her heart to skip a beat. She initially did not want the dagger, but under the peculiar feeling, she couldn’t refuse and simply watched as Ah Dai carefully fastened the dagger to her leg. Ah Dai’s meticulousness touched her, and she regretted the harsh words she had said before.

Ah Dai lowered her trouser leg, sat cross-legged at the end of the bed, and spoke softly, "We haven’t fully recovered our strength, let’s start cultivating. We have a journey to embark on tomorrow."

Xuan Yue lowered her head, murmuring, "Brother, it’s my first time being held captive. I’m upset, and I might have spoken harshly earlier. Please don’t take it to heart."

Ah Dai shook his head, suppressing the pain in his heart and closing his eyes, "I’m not upset with you. You’re right. I can’t even handle my own problems, how could I have the right to meddle with yours?"

Xuan Yue pulled back her legs, lightly touching the leather covering on her leg, feeling its lingering warmth. She asked, "Brother, is there really no possibility between you and Yue Yue?"

Ah Dai shivered, "Do you think, I’m good enough for Yue Yue? The gap between us is too great. She is the Pope’s granddaughter, and I am nothing but an ordinary civilian. We are impossible. There are too many barriers in front of us. Your father alone would never allow us to be together. Yue Yue is so beautiful and her status is so noble. She could definitely find a husband a thousand times better than me. Moreover..." His mind suddenly conjured up the faces of the girl and Bing. He sighed lightly and did not continue.

"Moreover what?" Xuan Yue pressed. Pain twisted in her heart, tears uncontrollable, streaming down her face. The disdain her father once showed Ah Dai clearly reflected in her mind.

Ah Dai sighed, "I’m tired, let’s practice. We will talk about everything else later." At this moment, he chose once again to avoid; he dared not face his own emotions.

Looking at the rising white light on Ah Dai, Xuan Yue’s face was filled with sorrow. Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind. Ah Dai never mentioned his feelings for her in all he had said. Although he said they were impossible, he never said he didn’t like her. The time they spent together three years ago is still vivid in her memory. He definitely has feelings for her. It’s just that there are too many taboos. Yes! He does like me. He has to. With this thought, Xuan Yue’s silent heart became active again. As long as Ah Dai liked her, what could her father do to stop it? No, she had to figure out a way to make Ah Dai face his feelings for her. And her father? As long as she addresses her father’s concerns, Ah Dai would surely accept her. Her father’s opinion was important, but he had to listen to his grandfather. It seems that grandfather has a good impression of Ah Dai. Yes, after coming back from the Death Mountain Range, she would ask her grandfather to intercede for her. As long as she can persuade her father, everything would be manageable. Xuan Yue’s mood lightened. Wiping away her tears, she glanced at Ah Dai profoundly and closed her eyes, entering a state of meditation. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell Ah Dai about her identity, but she had once openly confessed her feelings to Ah Dai. After all, she was a girl. If she revealed her identity now, it would be so embarrassing!

Five days later, Ah Dai’s group finally entered the territory of the Red Hurricane Clan. The Red Hurricane Clan is situated by the sea in the northeast and borders the Yajin Tribe, Pu Yan Tribe, and Xi Bo Tribe on the northwest, south, and east respectively. After leaving Stone Pond Town of the Xi Bo Tribe, Ah Dai came here first. The Red Hurricane Clan is known as the birthplace of mercenaries. Once Ah Dai’s group entered the Red Hurricane Clan’s territory, not only did they see more red-haired people around, but also found mercenaries of all ages everywhere. The Red Hurricane Clan is different from other parts of the continent. Here, mercenaries are highly respected. Therefore, well-known mercenary groups prefer to establish their headquarters here. Even the clan leader of the Red Hurricane Clan is not as prestigious as Lian Dan, the head of the Red Hurricane Mercenary Group.

The Red Hurricane City, located in the center of the Red Hurricane Clan, was Ah Dai’s group’s destination. They had just entered the territory of the Red Hurricane Clan and it would take them about two more days to reach Red Hurricane City.

Ah Dai had been very silent ever since Xuan Yue lost her temper with him that day and he often lost himself in thought. Xuan Yue didn’t comfort him but stayed at his side all the time. They still shared a bed at night. After spending five days together, the four of them grew familiar with one another. Olivia was just as smart as Xuan Yue and could always consider everything comprehensively, showing her meticulousness. On the other hand, Kino was the complete opposite. His mind was an empty sheet, knowing nothing except magic. Yet, his comprehension was excellent; he was no longer as clumsy as he had been at the start. To kill time on their journey, Xuan Yue taught the two the simplest form of Space Magic - short-distance teleportation. Although learning magic was a turn-off for Kino, he was rather interested in this intriguing magic that could instantly change his position. Despite not being as diligent as Olivia, by relying on his powerful magic power, he managed to barely grasp it.

Since it was already noon, there were few pedestrians on the broad avenue. Kino wiped off the sweat on his forehead and complained, "What kind of crazy weather is this? It’s August already, why is it still so hot?"

Thanks to Ah Dai’s abundant qi, the outside temperature didn’t affect him at all. Xuan Yue’s Holy Light Magic also gave him the ability to isolate temperatures once she’d reached the Magus Realm. Olivia was the most smug of them all. He could just cast a Small Tornado Magic spell to alleviate the heat on his body. Kino was the only one incapable of dealing with the sun. He’d already taken off his magic robe and was only wearing thin clothes. As a regular fire mage, he normally wouldn’t mind the heat. However, since Larthas had trained him near a volcano since he was young, he was extremely sensitive to temperature changes. Even though he had the accomplishments of a magus, he still couldn’t stand the scorching summer heat.

Olivia glanced at Kino disdainfully and said, "You call yourself a mage but you can’t even handle a bit of heat." The two of them were used to arguing, and he always took pleasure in teasing Kino. Kino chuckled and moved closer to Olivia, poking him and saying, "Alright, alright, stop mocking me. I’m nowhere near as good as you! Can you give me a tornado? Make it a big one, I can’t stand the heat anymore. If this continues, I’m gonna dry up."

Olivia raised an eyebrow. A smirk flitted across his face before he played dumb and said, "How big of a tornado do you want? I don’t feel hot at all!"

The scorching heat had fried Kino’s brain and he promptly fell for Olivia’s trick. "As big as possible, I’m dying of heat. Let it blow wilder!"

Olivia nodded nonchalantly and replied, "Alright, you walk ahead. I’ll blow wind from the back. That way you’ll cool down faster."

Delighted, Kino quickly said, "Thanks, brother Vila." After speaking, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, anxiously waiting for Vila’s tornado.

Olivia shot a mischievous glance at Ah Dai and Xuan Yue standing nearby, and began to chant a spell, his Staff of Wind God in hand. The wind element in the air began to converge towards him, forming a tornado in front of him that kept growing in size. Ah Dai didn’t understand what Olivia was up to, but Xuan Yue did, and she whispered to Ah Dai, "Big brother Vila is such a meanie! He’s going to prank Kino again."

The tornado Olivia cast was getting bigger and bigger, and the wind elements in the air were becoming increasingly violent. In front, Kino was quite enjoying the cool wind from behind him. "Good wind, such good wind! I’m much cooler now." He was closing his eyes in enjoyment as the breeze took away the heat, when he suddenly felt the wind behind him get stronger. He exclaimed, "Wow, it’s gotten a lot cooler." As he turned to tell Olivia that it was enough, he saw a five-meter-high tornado rapidly approaching him from behind. "Ah—" Screaming in surprise, the unprepared Kino was suddenly swept high into the sky by the tornado, his body spinning with the tornado’s rotation and sprawling wildly.

Down below, Olivia was controlling the tornado, chuckling, "How’s that? Pretty refreshing tornado, isn’t it? You must be feeling much cooler now."

Seeing Kino in such a dire state, Xuan Yue couldn’t hold back her laughter and burst into fits of laughter, and even Ah Dai cracked a smile. They all knew Olivia had no ill intentions and was just pulling a prank, so no one tried to stop him. Olivia and Kino’s antics were a daily part of their lives, and they were all used to it.

Olivia, having had enough fun, dispelled her Wind Magic. She used the whirlwind to slowly lower Kino’s body to the ground. Just a meter above the ground, she abruptly withdrew all her whirlwinds. Kino collapsed onto the ground with a thump, getting covered head to toe in dirt. Everything was spinning around him, and the figures of Ah Dai and his two companions had tripled. Olivia squatted beside him, chuckling, "So, was it exhilarating or not?"

Barely coming out of his stupor, Kino retorted, "Exhilarating my butt; you almost made me faint. I asked you to produce a whirlwind, but you gave me a tornado instead. Were you trying to kill me?"

Olivia put on an innocent face and said, "You can’t blame me. You asked for a more ferocious storm, and after all, a tornado is also a type of whirlwind, isn’t it?"

Kino was momentarily speechless. He was not willing to let it go so easily. With a flick of his hand, he launched an ordinary fire meteor, snapping, "Then let me just give you a taste of a meteor shower." Countless red fireballs immediately hurled towards Olivia. Although close by, Olivia was prepared and used her newly-learned short-distance teleportation to escape from the spot. The rain of fireballs quickly flew past her towards Ah Dai and Xuan Yue behind her.

Ah Dai flashed a helpless smile. Recognizing this very familiar magic, he casually waved his hand. His pure white fighting spirit shielded him and Xuan Yue with a thick barrier. After a series of thuds, the fireballs disappeared after crashing onto the barrier. Olivia walked back from not too far, looking at a fuming Kino, saying, "Let’s stop messing around and get moving. I will use mini whirlwinds to help you cool down."

Huffing angrily, Kino retorted, "Humph, who knows what tricks you’re scheming. I don’t need it." He then strode over to Ah Dai and complained, "Boss, she’s always picking on me."

Xuan Yue chuckled, "You have to solve your issues on your own. Your magic is not weaker than hers. Why don’t you take revenge on her?"

Olivia jumped in surprise and quickly said, "Really? Are you really willing to watch your apprentice get chased and beaten? Kino, we’re brothers and I know you have already forgotten about the whirlwind incident, right?" While speaking, she put on a pitiful face. Kino snapped, "It’s always like this. I won’t be fooled by you again. In the name of the Fire God, burn, scorching flames!" A red light lit up, and a hot fireball flew out, hurling directly at Olivia. Olivia shrieked and hastily employed an acceleration spell on herself, turning to run. Kino controlled the fireball to chase after her, resolved not to stop until he had taken his revenge. Watching their retreating figures, Ah Dai flashed a helpless smile and, together with Xuan Yue, followed after them.

An hour later, the four of them were resting under a large tree. By now, there were gradually more people on the road, and the weather wasn’t as scorching as noon. Although Kino never directly hit Olivia with a fireball, his anger had subsided. He was now leaning against the large tree taking a nap. Olivia had no chance to summon minim whirlwinds to cool herself during her run from Kino, so she was now, like Kino, drenched in sweat. She tugged at her magic robe soaked with sweat, unable to bear the discomfort, she had no choice but to take it off and hang it on a tree fork, revealing her shirt underneath. She was panting and said, "Ah, if only one of us knew water magic, they could create water to quench our thirst. It’s so hot, I wonder when we will find the next village or city."

Xuan Yue laughed, "This is what happens when you tease Kino. You don’t have his endurance. All the water we carried from the last village is finished as well. Just bear with it."

Just then, a hawker’s shout caught their attention, "Selling pears here, juicy and sweet crystal pears. Two copper coins each, quench your thirst and cool down ..."

Olivia sprang up from the ground and, energetically exclaimed, "Who says I’m cursed? Here comes something to quench my thirst. Brother Kino, don’t be angry anymore. I’ll buy some pears for everyone. Consider it as my apology to you." She looked over, saw an old man selling pears, and headed over to him.

She walked over and said to the old man, "I would like ten pears." She then handed over two silver coins. The old man quickly took a piece of paper from the basket to wrap up the ten pears and handed them to Olivia, "Be careful not to drop it. The paper isn’t very strong. These pears are from my garden, they are very sweet. If you like them, come back to buy more!"

Olivia thanked the old man and was about to turn back when suddenly a strong force hit her from behind, causing her to stagger and almost drop the pears. Assuming it was Kino pulling a prank on her, she turned around to see two red-haired young men dressed as mercenaries standing where she had been standing. Each of them held a large pear and ate heartily. On their chest was a mercenary emblem of a silver crescent moon. One of them said, "Hm, these pears are not bad. Brother, let’s grab two more and go back to the team for a rest." They each grabbed two more pears and headed off.

The old man yelled, "Hey, lads, you haven’t paid yet. It’s twelve copper coins for six pears."

One of the mercenaries gave him a chilling glare and roared, "What payment? We are members of the special-class mercenary group, The Moon Mark. We’ve never paid for food in the Red Hurricane Clan territory. Keep yapping, and we won’t leave you a single one." After finishing his threat, he turned and left, loudly cursing, "Damn bastard doesn’t want to save face even when given a chance. Us eating his pears is giving him face."

Seeing this, the usually calm Olivia couldn’t help stepping in, shouting, "Stop! Don’t you know the decency of paying for your food?"

The two mercenaries turned to look at her with irritated expressions. After taking in her frail appearance, their faces revealed an even deeper disdain. "Kid, mind your own business. Just you, well, I could knock out three of you with a single punch. Go home and drink your mamma’s milk."

Hearing them insult his mother, Olivia was livid. His eyes flashed with a cold light, but he didn’t summon the Staff of the Wind God. He muttered some spells under his breath and a green halo surrounded his body. With a casual wave, he launched a wind blade attack, accompanied by a whistling sound, towards the two mercenaries.
