Chapter 108: Chapter 76: Bone as a Weapon, You Also Want to Stop Me? _2

"What is this power?"

"Actually, I’m not quite sure either..."

Ronan lifted a hand and looked at the tiny flames flowing by the edge of his palm, pondering for a moment before he replied: "Probably... what you all look down upon, brute force."

"Brute force?"

Lola paused upon hearing this answer, then gritted her teeth and bitterly said, "No matter what power it is, next time, you will definitely die... in the most painful and miserable way! Ahhh..."

After speaking, the last trace of light in her eyes completely disappeared.

Next time?

Ronan hadn’t understood the meaning of this phrase Lola mentioned before he saw her head drop, and then her whole body, like a rapidly withering flower, turned to dust in just a few breaths.

Only leaving behind a gold-lit leaf gently falling to the ground.

Ronan’s eyes slightly twinkled as he bent down to pick up the golden leaf and examined it closely.

The white flames around him gradually subsided, and his white hair also fell.

Only Ronan could see, right in the middle of his chest, a pure white Light Ball had clearly shrunk a size.

But what surprised Ronan was that the golden olive leaf, quietly lying in his palm, was releasing a strand of strange power, continuously merging into the Light Ball, replenishing the previous loss.

"This is an Unscathed Leaf."

A voice sounded beside his ear.

Ronan turned his head and saw Jerome and a Beautiful Witch in a grey-blue Magic Robe slowly approaching.

"The headmaster had obtained a seed of the Unscathed Tree years ago, carefully nurturing it into his Lifebound Magic Pet.

This is a leaf from the Unscathed Tree, its function is to help wizards heal quickly..."

Jerome glanced at where Lola had turned to ashes, his eyes revealing a complex emotion that was hard to describe.

Quickly, the complexity vanished, he whispered to Ronan, "It can also save a life."

"Save a life?!"

Ronan’s eyes sharpened, now truly understanding what the harsh words Lola uttered before her "death" meant.

"Actually, the effect isn’t as exaggerated as you imagine.

Using the Unscathed Leaf for resurrection, the resurrected one needs to have previously left their own soul seed on the Unscathed Tree, and after the soul seed is activated, it still needs a lot of precious and rare resources to nurture it, the resurrected person not only has a long ’re-growth period’ but also leaves permanent trauma to the soul...

This method of resurrection can only be used once."

Jerome explained.

Ronan nodded, not saying more.

The two were silent for a while, and Jerome broke the silence.

"Ronan, will you... go back?"

"What do you think, Lord Jerome?"

Ronan, looking into Jerome’s eyes, answered calmly.

Jerome’s eyes flickered, his lips slightly pursed, finally, he asked.

"Then where do you plan to go next?"

"I don’t know."

Ronan shook his head, "Hoddam is the first and only Grey Robed Wizard Land I’ve come into contact with."

Jerome thought for a moment, took out a fist-sized Crystal Stone shimmering with rune gloss from his Waist Storage Bag, and handed it to Ronan, "This is a map of Hoddam and the surrounding regions... I hope it helps you."

Ronan did not refuse, and straightforwardly accepted the Crystal Stone Jerome offered, quickly scanning it with his spiritual power.

The Crystal Stone itself was ordinary, just an alchemy stone enchanted with Zero Rank [Shadow Print] rune, but the content recorded inside was invaluable to Ronan.

"Thank you."

Ronan sincerely thanked Jerome, who just shook his head.

The two didn’t exchange any farewell words, simply said goodbye, Ronan picked up the things Lola left behind, and ventured into the forest ahead alone, soon disappearing into the vast sea of trees.

Only when Jerome could no longer feel Ronan’s presence did he retract his gazing eyes.

He lowered his head, his aura beginning to quietly undergo some unspeakable changes.

"Jerome... Jerome..."

Seemingly sensing the subtle changes in Jerome’s emotional waves, the Beautiful Witch in the grey-blue robe softly called.

But what she received was an unprecedented cold response from Jerome.

"Lola has completely destroyed the future possibility of Hoddam’s renaissance."

"Uh?"

The Beautiful Witch was stunned, slow to react.

But Jerome continued by himself.

"Having just advanced to Level 1, without refining a Soul Seal, not even having time to learn a single First Rank Magic, but able to master two powers of the Extraordinary Magic Domain, and that terrifying unknown mysterious power...

The greatest function of the Unscathed Leaf, although only healing, is a qualitative boost for Plant Wizards.

Lola, who forcibly extracted all the essence of the Unscathed Leaf without considering the consequences, had burst out a strength that touched the true pinnacle of the Level 1 Wizard domain’s scale... Yet, she still failed at his hands."

Jerome spoke in a tone that was indescribably numb, emotionlessly articulating, emitting a sense of utter disappointment.

"...Such a Genius in magic, reaching the position of headmaster, or even surpassing it in the future is not impossible.

But now... she has been forcefully driven away by that madwoman, Lola!"

At the end, Jerome’s numb tone even gradually turned grim.

He slowly turned his head to look at the Beautiful Witch beside him, his face expressing an indescribable, weird but serious emotion.

"Do you know?"

He looked at the Beautiful Witch, saying word by word:

"I just called out to Ronan, actually not to stop him from killing Lola, but to tell him... the right way to truly kill Lola before the Unscathed Leaf could fully exert its effects."
