<h4>Chapter 1089 Thrown Ou</h4>


    Xiuban regretfully remembered that he couldn’t kill Sizhang just as he was about to hit his head and redirected the p to his shoulder instead.


    Sizhang paled as his bones let out cracking noises. It sounded as if all his bones were shattering and he was suddenly unable to feel half of his body.


    Xiuban’srge hands grabbed his shoulder and he carried him like a sack of potatoes.


    The stunned Sizhang soon recovered and his mana burst out of his body. Runes flew out as Sizhang wanted to use his Runic Shield to escape Xiuban’s monstrous strength.


    Unfortunately, the annoyed Xiuban swatted his hand. Fiery red light appeared in the center of his palm before pure ming power covered his hand.


    His palm collided with Sizhang’s runes and it felt as if Bursting Fireballs exploded in front of Sizhang’s face as his fire runes were forcibly smashed.


    The Runic Shield hadn’t even taken shape before being shattered by Xiuban. The bursting me power washed over Sizhang’s head and burnt a part of his hair and left ck traces on his face.


    Sizhang angrily screeched, “B*stard, you dared to do this to me?! You are screwed! I’ll definitely remember this humiliation, the Burning Tower will remember! Just wait for my bloody retaliation!


    “The Burning Tower never suffered this kind of disgrace, you...”


    Xiuban sneered and pinched Sizhang’s jaw. He then used a bit of strength and dislocated it.


    Once they left the camp, Xiuban casually sent Sizhang flying a dozen meters away. If not for Sizhang using a shield, he would have definitely been seriously injured.


    After standing up, Sizhang angrily wanted to rush back into the camp, but Xiuban punched the ground at the camp’s entrance just as Sizhang was about to enter the camp. The earth instantly started shaking andrge cracks spread over ten meters, smaller cracks even continued up to thirty meters.


    Seeing this scene, Sizhang no longer dared to move forward. He coldly looked at the mage army making their way over there and managed to calm down a bit. He coldly snorted and left in a hurry.


    ‘Damn, I can’t negotiate with this group of barbarians, this group of brainless guys might not even know the might of the Burning Tower...


    ‘Moreover, those barbarians might actually take Mafa Merlin’s words seriously. These guys aren’t weak, especially that terrifying Beastman. He is actually that powerful without using Aura...


    ‘Damnit, wouldn’t I die an unfair death if that brainless idiot takes it seriously and gets rid of me?


    ‘Sh*t, I should go back and report to Sir Dedale first. These idiots actually disrespected me and disregarded our Burning Tower. This is a humiliation, we have to retaliate...


    ‘That damn guy... I should avoid these barbarians for now...’


    After being kicked out, Sizhang understood that the Burning Tower’s name had no use in front of these people and left, dejected.


    Sizhang had calmed down quite a bit by the time he was halfway back to the Burning Tower’s camp.


    He could already see the Burning Tower’s camp from the sky, but his expression suddenly became strange. He then rapidly stopped.


    ‘Sh*t, Ipletely forgot the goal of the mission!


    ‘Sir Dedale sent me to look for Mafa Merlin in order to cooperate, Sir Dedale specifically said that he wanted cooperation, and I had to facilitate it...


    ‘What should I do now?


    ‘I only wanted to scare Mafa Merlin... Who would have thought that a barbarian country bumpkin’s brain couldn’t understand? I was only speaking a bit roughly, but he immediately became hostile...


    ‘The cooperation has been messed up, how could I exin it to Sir Ds when I go back?


    ‘A few of our powerhouses died in the alchemical device matter, including two of the three alchemists in charge.


    ‘I’m the only one left and I can count myself lucky to not have been sent to one of those sinister magic mines...


    ‘I’m afraid he wouldn’t have sent me to negotiate with Mafa Merlin if not for the fact that there is no manpower avable in the Raging me Battlefield.


    ‘But it’s messed up now. I only wanted to scare Mafa Merlin, yet he directly became hostile. If I return and say that there is no chance of cooperation...


    ‘Sir Dedale might not even ask why there is no cooperation and might directly get rid of me.’


    The pale Sizhang floated in the air, cold sweat kept dripping down his forehead and his back as he remembered Dedale’s punishments for the subordinates that made mistakes.


    After floating for a bit, Sizhang helplessly sighed.


    ‘It’s over, I’m finished. Sir Dedale might not punish me too hard right now because of theck of manpower, but this won’t be the case once we leave the Raging me Battlefield... If I’m lucky, I might be sent to oversee the Burning Tower’s industry in some remote small ne.


    ‘But if my luck is bad, I might be sent to mine an ore vein in the Raging me ne.’


    The more Sizhang thought about it, the more discouraged he felt. He was a bit nervous to return, but not returning wouldn’t be good. He could only brace himself and slowly fly back.


    After flying for a bit, Sizhang suddenly heard someone calling for him and using mana fluctuation to lure him over.


    He used Eagle Sight to look over there and immediately noticed the Shadow Tower’s people processing a Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beast’s corpse.


    The one releasing the mana fluctuations was Ds. Noticing him, a poor expression appeared on Sizhang’s face.


    ‘It’s that stupid rodent, he’s just as nauseating as a goblin. If not for him saying that the experiment failed because of Mafa Merlin’s tempering, would I try to scare off Mafa Merlin?


    ‘The cooperation might have already been sessful if I didn’t try to scare Mafa Merlin, and with the refined technique topound Beast God’s Blood, I might have been among the first ones to advance to the Heaven Rank. This isn’t going to happen now...’


    Sizhang’s expression didn’t look great, he was looking down on Ds and the Shadow Tower.


    There was a reason why there were plenty of bad rumors regarding the Shadow Tower in the Odin Kingdom. Many powerful mage forces would dare to openly say that they despised these smelly rats-like mages.


    The Shadow Tower was a necessary existence as there were always people needing to use their services. Moreover, despite their shameful behavior, they couldn’t bebelled as weak, they were also always respectful to those stronger than them. If not for those reasons, the Shadow Tower would have already been eradicated.


    Sizhang didn’t feel like paying attention to Ds, but Ds came over and blocked his path to greet him with an enthusiastic expression.


    “Sir Sizhang, I didn’t expect to meet you here. This is great, I’ve heard of your distinguished name before and I knew you were in charge of the alchemical device’s creation. I wanted to pay you a visit, but I was afraid of disturbing your research and didn’t have an opportunity to chat with you...”


    It would have been fine if Ds hadn’t mentioned the alchemical device, but the mention of it made Sizhang angry, ‘Does he not understand that the me for the alchemical device is being put on me? The most important part of the research is the alchemical device, the research of the Beast God’s Blood is auxiliary...’


    Sizhang’s expression was very unsightly, Ds noticed it and rapidly added, “Naturally, I know that something happened to the alchemy experiment, who doesn’t? But I also know that Sir Sizhang’s alchemical device had no problem. After all, you weren’t in charge of studying the Beast God’s Blood, others were in charge of that. There were no issues with your alchemical device.


    “There might not have been an ident if not for the despicable Mafa Merlin, there might have been a huge aplishment instead.


    “Sir Sizhang would have been able to leave your name in history alongside the alchemical device, and you would have been recorded at the top of the list of contributors.”


    Ds ttered him a lot first, which improved Sizhang’s mood.


    “Hmpf, of course, that selfish Mafa Merlin clearly saw that there was an issue with the research of those two dead fools, but he still watched from the side and didn’t warn us.


    “That disaster wouldn’t have urred if he warned us, there wouldn’t have been such heavy losses...”


    Ds nodded again, letting Sizhang’s shirk the me on the dead alchemists and Lin Yun.


    ‘That Sizhang guy flew from that direction, which should be where Mafa Merlin’s camp is located. It’s been less than a day so he couldn’t have researched the cause of the failure in the Burning Tower’s camp. Why did he go to Mafa Merlin’s camp?


    ‘Damn, could it be that they noticed that Mafa Merlin’s research of the Beast God’s Blood far surpasses theirs?


    ‘The Burning Tower’s experiment failed while Mafa Merlin’s potion allowed Morgan to smoothly advance. Morgan is still alive and well, without any abnormal side effect.


    ‘Did Sizhang obtain something from Mafa Merlin?


    ‘This isn’t good, the Burning Tower definitely won’t cooperate with me after this, and I already wasted that drop of Beast God’s Blood.


    ‘Moreover, it looks like it’s impossible for the Burning Tower to research the Beast God’s Blood in the short term, looking for Mafa Merlin to cooperate should be their best option.


    ‘Although I don’t want to admit it, I don’t have much of a choice. Mafa Merlin is very skilled in the field of research, he far surpasses my imagination.


    ‘Would the Burning Tower still need me if they cooperate with Mafa Merlin? No good, I have to get information out of Sizhang...’
