A gust of wind blew through, and the next second, Herag stood with his arms crossed over his chest, his towering figure blocking the view of the Second-Class Wizard Apprentice like a mountain.
He looked down expressionlessly at the Second-Class Wizard Apprentice, and with a thought, he released the Dark Imprisonment on this person.
As the Dark Imprisonment was lifted, his legs went soft instantly, and he fell to the ground, trembling all over.
"Ple... Please let me go..." He pleaded, his voice shaking with a sob.
"Name, origin, purpose," Herag’s tone was devoid of any emotion.
The person continued to tremble, stammering, "I... I’m called Benik, from the Green Cottage. We... we came to steal some valuable Magic Potion Materials to sell."
It was then that Fred came down; he looked a bit fearful at Herag’s face.
Just on the mountain, Fred had witnessed the entire process of Herag’s action.
He first slipped into the shadows, getting close quickly without the three noticing, then punched swiftly, cleanly killing two Third-Class Wizard Apprentices.
The speed and strength were beyond Fred’s comprehension.
In his mind, even Great Knights who followed the knight’s path did not have such overwhelming physical power.
In the face of such terrifying power, all Shields were mere paper.
These two Third-Class Wizard Apprentices might have had more tricks, but they had already been approached by Herag, leaving no time to react in such short distances.
Imagining himself in front of Herag, Fred simulated the scenario a little in his mind, and cold sweat broke out instantly on his forehead.
"Are there any others?" Herag continued to ask. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Benik quickly replied, "No, no, just the three of us."
"Isn’t it a ceasefire period now? Did you come to provoke new conflicts?" Herag questioned.
"No, no, it’s exactly because the war just ended, both sides are short of manpower, so we figured that patrols in the Western Mountains might be less frequent right now..." Benik explained.
Seeing that Fred had arrived, Herag said, "Take him back, hand him over to Mr. Batty."
Their patrol duty could end early today because of this sudden incident. It was necessary to report back to Batty and, more importantly, to take Benik back.
Benik’s fate wouldn’t be any better than the two dead Third-Class Wizard Apprentices; after being brought back, he would definitely have his memories explored thoroughly by any means, and once his value was exhausted, he would be executed or used as Necromancy materials.
Thinking of Necromancy, Herag realized he had not yet had the chance to learn Necromancy knowledge.
Necromancy knowledge is quite complicated; it’s not just about buying a couple of spells from the Magic Shop and learning them. It requires complete knowledge inheritance.
But Necromancy courses are rare; one must contact Official Wizards in the Moonlight Forest to see if they can purchase knowledge inheritance.
Herag had originally planned to digest the spells he bought before considering learning Necromancy knowledge, but due to this patrol task, he first had to come to the Western Mountains.
Fred took out a pair of Anti-Magic Handcuffs, cuffing Benik’s hands behind his back.
Once the Anti-Magic Handcuffs were on, several tentacles extended, piercing into the flesh on Benik’s back, completely restricting the flow of his Magic Power.
Now Benik was no different from a normal person, unable to use Magic Power.
After temporarily cuffing Benik, Herag slowly approached the injured Mountain Fire Bear.
Seeing him approach, the Mountain Fire Bear cautiously backed away a little.
Herag spoke in the Monster’s Universal Language, "We are Wizards from the Moonlight Forest. If you trust me, I can help heal your wounds."
The Mountain Fire Bear’s eyes showed a human-like hesitation; she glanced at the human corpses on the ground, then decided to trust Herag, nodding.
Herag took out three bottles of White Sage Healing Potion, slowly approaching the Mountain Fire Bear, maintaining his Absolute Defense Shield.
He first poured a bottle of White Sage Healing Potion onto the Mountain Fire Bear’s belly, where the wound was the worst.
After the White Sage Healing Potion entered the wound, the Mountain Fire Bear’s expression showed pain, but she knew Herag was healing her, so she endured it silently.
The Mountain Fire Bear’s wound visibly stopped bleeding and began to heal. As a demon, her recuperative power was already strong, and now with the White Sage Healing Potion, it wouldn’t take long for the wound to close.
After dealing with the wound on the Mountain Fire Bear’s belly, Herag poured the other two bottles of White Sage Healing Potion on other areas of the bear’s body.
He then took out a bandage, circled the Mountain Fire Bear once, and wrapped the wound on her belly.
"You are fine now, you can leave," Herag said in the Monster’s Universal Language.
The Mountain Fire Bear glanced at Herag, nodded, and roared towards the mountain top.
The cub quickly peeked its head out from the bushes, sprinted down the mountain, and hid behind the mother bear, sticking out a small head to look at Herag and Fred.
Herag waved at them and then proceeded to walk towards the mountain top.
The two Mountain Fire Bears also turned and left, their figures gradually vanishing into the mountain forest.
On the way back, Herag was summarizing this battle.
Overall, if he could approach the enemy through Shadowy Corners with all sorts of Beneficial Spells cast on him, even a Third-Class Wizard Apprentice couldn’t stand against him.
If the enemy was alert from the start, using Shadowy Corners to get close wouldn’t work.
But Herag had both Flash and Great Stride Running spells; Flash allowed him to leap directly to the enemy’s side after closing a certain distance, and Great Stride Running could burst instant speed, enhancing his ability to get close.
After this battle, Herag was even more determined to make Great Dark Heaven his Talent Spell.
"Truly, personal strength is the power that surpasses everything," Herag mused to himself.
Great Dark Heaven can infinitely enhance one’s bloodline and strengthen the body, fitting Herag’s requirements perfectly.
When they returned to the station, they immediately reported the situation to Batty, though omitting the specifics of Herag’s fight, and Batty assumed they had resolved the enemy together.
Looking at Benik, Batty said, "Lock him up. I’ve notified the Forest; someone will come to take him away tomorrow."
The station had cells built with Forbidden Magical Materials, specifically for imprisoning Wizards.
After dealing with this matter, Herag continued his patrol life.
Since that day, there had been no more anomalies, and he peacefully spent half a month.
