Chapter 928: Chapter 59: Return Again Chapter 928: Chapter 59: Return Again A real man never looks back at the explosion.

Link did not look back at the scene of the level six sage and his lifelong family stronghold turning to ash in the self-destruction.

Just as his current mood did not contain a trace of joy.

Killing a level six sage in such a manner, as easily as crushing an ant, was not something Link found joy in.

He even found it rather detestable.

There were many reasons for this.

The biggest one, of course, was that it made Link feel like an ant himself.

All under the Saint are ants!

There was a reason why he went ahead with this despite knowing he would detest it.

One reason was to avenge Christina, to rid Garona’s life of hatred.

But this wasn’t the main reason. There were two main reasons.

Firstly, Link wanted to test the performance of this starship and, by doing so, confirm a suspicion he had.

Now that the testing was over, the performance of the starship was incredibly high, high enough to effortlessly crush a level six sage and destroy his lifetime’s achievement.

His suspicion was also confirmed.

When the Tower of the Great Sage Mitchell launched a surprise attack on the Ravensmouth College Advance Team, a small, elite Interstellar Fleet tried to block this starship.

It took substantial effort for Link to avoid being successfully encircled.

However, the fact proved that with the performance of this starship, had he fully unleashed its firepower back then, not only would escaping have been easy, but annihilating the small, elite fleet would have been a piece of cake.

Lotson had tampered with it using owner’s rights.

Link didn’t know the motive, but the purpose was most definitely to use him and Jasmine as bait.

Of course, that incident was now in the past.

Even having confirmed his suspicion, there wasn’t much Link could do about it.

He was just less ignorant.

Who says you have to feign ignorance to live?

Link certainly did not.

Secondly, Link wanted to personally feel the vast gap between the Saint and those below.

Naturally, the Starship was far and beyond inferior to the Saint.

Not to mention one, even a hundred or a thousand of them could not compare.

But as a vessel that could marginally serve as a Saint’s mount, its status was obviously quite high.

From the actual performance of this starship, one could somewhat extrapolate the might a Saint truly possessed.

With the obliteration of a level six sage and his lifetime of work as the “cost,” Link personally felt the huge difference between the Saint and those below.

Like the same saying goes, all under the Saint are ants!

So, Link didn’t know whether to feel fortunate or what his feelings should be.

After all, it’s hard to find a second intermediate wizard in his situation.

One could be the less favored brother with a blood relation to the reincarnated Saint, have so many dealings with the nearly Saint-position Xu Jing, and have face-to-face conversations with the Element Sage.

Not to say unprecedented, nor that there will be no one like him in the future.

But at least, it’s very difficult to find a contemporary reference.

Very rare indeed.

“Huff…”
After letting his thoughts run wild for a while, Link pressed down the restless thoughts in his heart and started on his actual tasks.

First of all, he informed Lady Lisandra, the acting headmaster of Ravensmouth College, about his extermination of a level six sage in Shadow City.

After all, once the Mitchell District was renamed Ravensmouth District, Shadow City became a Wizard force managed by Ravensmouth College.

Link’s complex relationship with Ravensmouth College and the Diomand Family was not exposed to the public.

As far as the public was concerned, Link Grande was an esteemed member of Ravensmouth College.

Exterminating a level six sage from Shadow City was no small matter.

Without clarity, who could be certain whether Link’s actions represented the will of Ravensmouth College?

What if Ravensmouth College really harbored thoughts of moving against Shadow City?

The motive was ready at hand, no need to think up one on the spot.

After all, not long ago, Ravensmouth College had suffered a great loss at the hands of the Tower of the Great Sage Mitchell.

It would make sense for them to vent their frustration on Shadow City, which once had a very close relationship with the Tower of the Great Sage Mitchell.

Having dropped a hot potato, Link did not concern himself with how Lady Lisandra would react or manage upon receiving the news; he continued focusing on his own matters.

Upon entering several strings of commands on the control panel of the Starship, it wasn’t long before Link received a well-edited video.

Starting from the starship’s sudden appearance near the level six sage’s family stronghold, to the level six sage and his family stronghold being reduced to ash in a self-destruction, to the end.

The climax captured the level six sage attempting to fight with all his might, yet powerless to resist.

After a swift review of the video, ensuring it was what he wanted, Link sent the well-edited video to Garona.

Along with the video, Link sent a message.

“Garona, don’t live in hatred, grow up happy.”

This video and the message could be considered Link’s birthday gift to Garona.

After finishing these two tasks, Link took a very short time to adjust his emotions.

From now on, he was set to truly embark on the path of confronting “predetermined fate.”

Everyone must be responsible for their choices and bear the consequences.

When Link chose to face “predetermined fate” alone, he had to accompany loneliness with solitude, friendship with silence.

Having set a new destination coordinate, the Starship entered its highest level Stealth Mode, much like an invisible, intangible, undetectable ghost, it drifted through the starry sky.
