The protagonist and Magic Lord Celeste successfully defeat their respective opponents. The protagonist incapacitates three Magic Lords with a powerful repulsive force spell, while Celeste kills three others with glass shard attacks. They gather intelligence from the unconscious enemies, and are later joined by Forbidden Wizard Erwin and Elder Ken, who take custody of the prisoners and corpses.

Outside Territory

Forbidden Wizards Erwin and Ken collected the bodies of the frontline team. They didn’t want to waste time and wanted to go back to their place first.

Erwin then turned towards us. His expression turned serious.

"I heard about your mission, and I know that you don’t have a proper communication tool. So, this is my gift to you." After saying that, he took out a crystal ball from his storage bracelet.

The crystal ball looked palm-sized. But it was not an ordinary communication tool. In fact, it was an effective magic artifact.

On the other hand, I was taken aback. I didn’t expect to get such a good thing. I had liked Wizard Celeste’s communication artifact earlier.

Now, I was going to have my own. I looked at Elder Erwin before accepting the artifact from him. My right palm firmly held the crystal ball.

I immediately used the system function to probe it.

[Ding! A rare Grade-13 communication artifact is detected.]

I heard the system voice in my mind. A storm set off in my heart. I kept my outward expression calm, but my heart was shaking.

I looked at Forbidden Wizard Erwin. He was showing a calm and collected expression. He knew about the grade, but he didn’t mention it.

Maybe he didn’t want to share it in front of others. I silently stored away the artifact inside my storage bracelet.

Wizard Celeste glanced at the artifact, but she didn’t think too much of it. She knew that Wizard Vincent didn’t have a good communication artifact with him.

She was glad in her heart that he wouldn’t be relying on her artifact.

Erwin said, "It’s time to leave. My good wishes for your journey."

After saying that, he vanished from the spot. He didn’t wait for the others. Next, old man Ken wished us well before disappearing from the place.

In the blink of an eye, the other black figures had left the place. When everyone was gone, I turned towards Wizard Celeste.

"Let’s go," I said to her.

Wizard Celeste nodded her head. Then, I brought the raven aircraft outside. Next, we both sat down inside the aircraft.

Shortly afterwards,

The raven aircraft appeared in mid-air and started going towards its destination. I quickly turned on the stealth mode.

The aircraft became transparent. After arranging it, I turned towards the passing view. The fight had been something else. I had caused massive damage to the Magic Lords without using the power of spell casting.

What’s more, I was shocked by the magic power of Wizard Celeste. The three dead bodies were covered in glass shards. It was a gruesome death.

I knew she was strong, but I didn’t expect her to defeat and kill the opponent so quickly. Then, I closed my eyes and recalled the communication artifact.

I took the crystal ball artifact from my storage bracelet. I held the dark purple crystal in my hand. Then, I poured mana into it.

Buzz!

A bright purple color flashed. The crystal ball was activated the next moment, and a new piece of information entered my mind.

I raised my eyebrows in surprise. But I digested the information quickly. I began to look at the artifact in a new light.

It was not only information about the artifact, but it also had a message sent by Elder Erwin. According to Elder Erwin, the artifact was a rare linked-type artifact.

It was one of four pieces. Forbidden Wizard Erwin had one of them. He had given the other two to Magic Lord Lara and Forbidden Wizard Charlotte.

As long as the crystal ball was charged with enough magic power, the holder could transmit messages across a distance. These powerful linked Elder-type artifacts could get their messages across easily.

As I was digesting the information, I received two more messages in my mind. They were just sent to me. The other two people realized that I had activated the artifact.

[Manager Lara: Vincent, Elder Erwin has truly gifted you something special this time.]

[Lord Charlotte: Kid, you have a communication device. So, from now on, give us regular updates. There should be no excuses.]

I read the information. I didn’t know what to say. The communication device seemed to be more powerful than Wizard Celeste’s artifact.

I had started to understand it. I could send an individual message or a group message as well. Inside the artifact, I saw three colorful orbs floating inside the crystal ball.

If I wanted to send an individual message, I could activate one of the magical orbs. If I wanted to share a group message, I could activate all the magical orbs inside the crystal ball at once.

On the other hand, Magic Lord Celeste was exploring the storage rings. She had found magic resources and other miscellaneous things.

But nothing related to the Covenant at all. She then stored away the bracelets. Her gaze fell on Vincent Carey. She saw him checking the new communication artifact.

She was curious. She knew the communication artifact was rare to come across. Her family had taken out one of their family heirlooms for her mission.

She was not surprised that a powerhouse like Forbidden Wizard Erwin had a communication artifact with him. She then put away the device and began to rest.

On the other hand, I understood how to use the communication artifact. So, I activated the other three orbs at once and shared a mental note.

[I will share regular updates.]

After sending the message across, I began to wait for a reply. It didn’t take long for the replies to come one after another.

I read the information and was satisfied. Then, I put away the crystal ball inside the storage bracelet. Next, I spared a glance at Wizard Celeste before minding my own business.

Time went by,

The raven aircraft went through the air. There were no obstacles in the way. So far, no other Covenant Wizards had come.

Meanwhile,

The Covenant got the news of the defeat of one of the frontline teams. Among them, three were reported dead, and three were reported missing. All of them were Magic Lords.

They were powerful veterans, yet they were defeated. This sent a shockwave across the higher-ups.
