t and you destroy the world, I’ll be blamed. Even if you don’t kill, destroying plants and flowers is still wrong.”

She was exasperated, "Don’t you know what a Shadow Mage is? We’re just a type of magician unrecognized by the Magician’s Association. Many of us are ordinary magicians envied for our unique abilities. Most Shadow Mages don’t seize human shadows but use animal shadows. I’ve never taken a human shadow, except for those guards who captured me..."

“I won’t believe you just because you’re attractive,” Brutols said, almost driving her to tears. She hastily swore by the world’s main deity, but Brutols retorted, "How do I know if your god exists? Your oath may mean nothing.” However, the beauty's body suddenly emitted white light, indicating the truth.

“Alright, I’ll help you,” Brutols sighed. With a glow of red light, his body temperature soared to thousands of degrees, melting his handcuffs. Freeing himself, he also helped her escape.

Just as Brutols was about to leave the magic tower, the magician he had injured was taken to the magic treatment center. However, Brutols' fire elemental powers were entirely different from the fire magic of this world and couldn't be treated with water magic here. The treatment center’s healers were baffled, and Brutols marveled at the effectiveness of his attack. It wouldn’t be long before that magician would likely meet his end, but it was a just punishment. 

Brutols donned a suit of armor exclusively used by the magic tower guards. This armor was lightweight due to an enchanting floatation spell that reduced its weight. He also wielded a dagger and a longsword scavenged from the guards. Brutols firmly believed the best weapons were those taken from enemies. He also found some fascinating items on the gu
