Joad turned to look at the First Grand Duke Ilan and deliberately made his voice raspy with magic as he said:
"I'll leave the rest to you."
With that, he cast Flight and Invisibility in one fluid motion, vanishing without a trace.
As for the two archmage corpses, Joad quietly took them along. After all, they still carried quite a few treasures—leaving them behind would be a huge waste.
Of course, for Joad, something even more important awaited: launching a strike against Mington Royal Academy and Ironchain Royal Academy.
Joad wasn't someone who enjoyed killing, but since things had already escalated this far, he had to go all the way.
As the saying goes, "If you don't uproot the weeds, they'll grow back in the spring." He wouldn't allow any future threats to his existence.
After all, this world was far too dangerous—Joad had to ensure his own safety first.
Thus, the night ended with a series of dazzling explosions from high-rank spells.
