Chapter 65: The Descent of Heavenly Fire

  Alad in 985 spring.

  Autumn old town, hillside villa.

  The sky is sprinkling down silvery white light.

  Dark red flames surge up in the abyss.

  A cold giant sword suspended in mid-air, its blade was extremely sharp and countless ice shards poured down from it like a silver chain. The Ghost God Sword, formed by the mysterious ghost god dwelling in Mide's left arm, materialized within Mide's heart. Once, it was the sharpest and most powerful landscape in this spiritual world.

  At this moment, a current as sharp as a knife is circulating in the world, not fast, but revealing an extraordinary momentum, like a giant dragon walking around, its power surpassing that of the ghostly sword!

  This flow of energy is the ultimate intention.

  This energy was sometimes gentle and soothing like a warm current, and sometimes fierce and biting like cold wind. Under Maiti's control, it flowed continuously, nourishing every tiny part of his body, making his physique stronger, his strength more refined, his reactions faster, and his nerves tougher through imperceptible changes.

  And without a doubt, once this extreme intention bursts out, it will become a more terrifying weapon than the sharpest lightsaber, destroying everything that stands in its way.

  Being able to attack and defend, being able to bring great help to growth, this is Extreme Intent.

  Suddenly, Midee, who was sitting cross-legged, took a deep breath.

  The magical forces swirling in the air at this moment, following the rhythm of his breathing, entered his lungs and then returned to the outside through his mouth and nose. The subtle magic hidden in the air, however, gradually slowed down during this process, settled down, and was absorbed by Miti, eventually becoming a part of his consciousness.

  As the magical power continued to surge in, the extreme intent within Mide's body was increasing at a slow but unstoppable pace, and his body was undergoing some kind of transformation as a result.

  This change was deeply hidden under the skin, between the muscles, and in the blood, and apart from himself, no one could see any signs with the naked eye.

  And in the end, these hidden and dormant forces will ultimately bring about a qualitative change.

  "Level 33!" Midy opened his eyes and let out a long sigh before standing up.

  Midi silently sensed it, and the magic and evil energy in his body had indeed disappeared without a trace. After experiencing the tempering of breaking through the limit, they seemed to have dissolved their impurities, leaving only the purest origin.

  But the extreme intention had grown, that extreme intention was like flowing mercury, in Mide's body turning and walking around, he clearly felt that a force that could not be restrained would soon burst out of his body, releasing the turbulent and surging torrent.

  This is the 33rd level brought by extreme meaning.

  Midi, who possessed memories of his past life, was well aware that this power far exceeded that of a typical 33rd-level adventurer. If compared to a normal adventurer, it would be equivalent to around level 40. This wasn't even taking into account the true power of the Extreme Intent itself, but rather just a comparison of physical prowess.

  What tremendous power!

  In the previous life, Mid was framed by Fenrir of the Saisei family and was still under the shadow of failing the academy's trial. He was ordered by his father to reflect at home. Fina, who was injured while protecting Mid, had just recovered from her convalescence and was preparing to change jobs using the magical pulse of the Hamilton family in a secret arrangement.

  One is at the bottom of a valley where one reaps what one sows, and another is held back from reaching the peak that is rightfully theirs.

  But this world is different now.

  Whether it's myself or Feena, we've already reached an unprecedented height, leaving our peers far behind!

  Not only that, but the speed and quality of this upgrade can even be said to be once in a century, perfect and flawless.

  And even Alice has joined the team ahead of time, and the three of them are growing stronger together, their bond is also gradually increasing.

  Midi can't be more satisfied. If he says that even the current situation is not satisfactory, it's already being too greedy, and even heaven can't tolerate it?

  But satisfaction does not mean complacency, and at this moment, Midee was more awake than ever before.

  He clearly knew that in order to protect Feena and Eris, as well as this newly conquered land, he would have to put in far more effort than in his previous life.

  This is pressure, but also motivation.

  Because protecting that one winter day's sunny and leisurely daily scenery was always Miti's greatest wish.

  And now, in the spring of 985 AD, Mide knew that he would first face a great disaster that triggered countless chain reactions.

  The Great Fire of London

  The great fire itself was not a big deal, after all, it happened outside the country's borders. Even if the entire elven tribe perished, the nobles of Bellmare could still continue their extravagant lifestyle. However, something that came with the great fire changed the entire continent.

  Those earth spirits that were originally just hiding in the grass, after the great fire, had their levels increased by more than 10 levels and even gained the power to attack carriages. Even if they were hit by arrows, they would no longer retreat, but instead would pounce like mad dogs. Other magical beasts also received a huge boost, with significant increases in level, recovery, attack, and defense.

  In addition, all kinds of undead creatures began to appear in the wild. They not only had strong attack power and were very difficult to kill, but also polluted the surrounding land, turning lush forests into withered dead lands and prosperous towns into silent empty cities, making the number of undead creatures more and more.

  Of course, it will become stronger, not just monsters.

  Humans are also getting stronger.

  More and more adventurers emerged after the Great Fire of Gran, and due to the frequent occurrence of battles, the levels of adventurers also rose at a speed that was unimaginable in peaceful times.

  Whether it's the monsters getting stronger or humans getting stronger, the control of the nobles and lords of the public country has been declining.

  Midi still clearly remembered the scene of the Grand Duchy after the great fire in his previous life.

  The monster's power made it difficult for merchant caravans to move, and funds and goods were hard to circulate, greatly slowing down the development of the public economy, and intensifying the trend of lords governing themselves. The appearance of adventurers also made law and order very poor. These adventurers who were not managed by the nobles and were much stronger than ordinary soldiers would often change their roles and become bandits.

  Thus, under the impact of monsters and uncontrolled new forces, the Kingdom of Bellmard, which had become rotten in the peaceful years, was like a pavilion in the wind and rain, on the verge of collapse.

  Obviously, such a principality needs a strong and powerful ruler to integrate it, so that the unruly adventurers can be subdued, and the unscrupulous monsters can be suppressed.

  Midi also agrees with this view.

  But the question is, who will become that ruler?

  Thus, in order to get an answer to this question, the Queen's party and the Parliamentarian party finally launched a civil war.

  If the civil war had really produced a winner, the victor would have unified the country, built a large army, rectified the system, protected the people, and been strong externally, which might also be a good ending. However, by 986 AD, when both sides were fighting fiercely, the disadvantaged Sess family actually brought in the army of the Delos Empire.

  And then there was no more after that.

  The Principality of Bellmard fell directly, and the nobles were slaughtered. Middy and Feena set out on their escape...

  Can I change the fate of the Kingdom of Bellmard in this life?

  Can the golden banner with two crossed lightsabers embroidered on it stop the Delos Empire from inserting Herton Mar's bell tower?

  Midi asked herself, but couldn't get an answer.

  After all, even if one can predict the future, an individual's power is still too weak in the face of war between nations. Many times, you clearly know that some things will happen, but you are powerless to stop them and can only passively accept them with your eyes open.

  But Maddy still wants to try.

  For this, he made countless preparations.

  It has been three months since the war with the Seth family ended, and he has been integrating elf warriors, family soldiers, and recruiting soldiers from vast territories, finally building an army of 10,000 people, fully equipped.

  He carved out large tracts of forest on the territory, creating a brand new habitat for the five major spirit tribes under Alice's command. At the same time, he also left enough land for spirits and other races that might escape from Gran's Forest in the future.

  He established a large number of defensive fortifications at the border with Gran and the forest, set up beacon towers on all major roads and high points in the territory, and combined with the magic pulse array under Alice, making the entire territory as solid as gold.

  He seized every minute and second, using the infinite magic of the Autumn Ancient Castle Villa to persistently temper and strengthen his body's extreme intent. Finally, within a short span of three months, he consecutively rose four levels, not only crossing the threshold of level 30 with one breath, but also causing his physical quality to undergo a qualitative leap.

  Currently, Meddy is only level 33 but can already rival a level 40 adventurer, not taking into account the power of Yukyuk, just comparing pure strength, agility and reaction speed.

  No matter when and where, strength is always the most reliable.

  This was Medea's unshakeable conviction.

  Just as Midei was savoring the all-new sensation brought by the upgrade, a light and airy footsteps echoed in the corridor.

  A red-haired girl overflowing with vitality and a black-haired girl standing like a snow lotus on a snowy mountain peak, walked shoulder to shoulder into the training grounds.

  The three of them now live together in the villa, sharing infinite magical power. However, neither Fiona nor Alys are the type who like to stick together, and everyone has their own business to attend to during the day, so they won't come to disturb Middy when she's training.

  Now that both of them appeared at the same time, a certain premonition suddenly arose in Mide's heart.

  "What's wrong?" he asked straightforwardly.

  And just as Mide had expected, those words finally came.

  "Urgent report from the scout, a massive fire is raging in the Gran Forest." Fiona replied, her usually confident and proud voice tinged with a hint of solemnity. "The area affected by the fire is extremely large, and it's said that the flames cannot be extinguished. The Hamilton family has also confirmed that the connection between the Principality and the Spirit Kingdom has been severed."

  "The forest's breath has changed, the monsters are going wild, the power of the magic pulse is being frantically drawn out, and some things are not normal." Alice added from the side, her tone even colder than usual.

  Gran'son Great Fire, it has finally come!

  Mi Di raised his eyebrows.

  When the great fire that had brought twenty years of influence to the continent of Arad and opened the curtain on a turbulent era finally broke out, Middy found his mood unusually calm.

  Because what needs to be done has all been done and all have been done to the best.

  Due to his own strength, he has already upgraded and even obtained the "Extreme Intention" that is rarely seen in a thousand years.

  Because they are by their side.

  What's meant to come will come.

  Since you're here, let's face it head-on!
