"What the hell is this now?!!!"
Under the critical blow of the elemental periodic table, after feeling the soaring suction force again, the Aquarius Director couldn't help but turn around abruptly. He was horrified to discover that another weight of impossible size had appeared on the right tray of the Scale of Truth.
Even though this weight seemed slightly unstable, with varying degrees of defects, and some parts didn't quite fit, when he saw the size, which was a circle larger than a rice cooker, it still counted as a "world-class" secret!
Aside from the previous one, there's another secret of the same level? What the hell is this kid up to?!!!
Staring at this second world-class weight, the Aquarius Director was utterly dumbfounded. He turned back and, looking at Leon who was still reciting, shouted in disbelief, "How the hell did you..."
His terrified questioning wasn't finished when the Scale of Truth behind, crushed by the equivalent of four "world-class" secrets, emitted a cracking sound under the unbearable weight. Then, with a boom, it exploded, scattering countless valuable secret weights across the sky!
At the instant when the Scale of Truth was crushed, the Aquarius Director seemed to suffer unimaginable damage. He spewed out a mouthful of black blood, even coughing up bits of internal organs.
As he, the user, was injured, the Temporal Rift used to accelerate time for the two of them finally couldn't be maintained. Accompanied by a strange feeling like gears meshing, the world around them, which had slowed to a crawl, began to speed up gradually.
Noticing the change around him and the gazes of the Purification Bureau members beginning to focus on him, the Aquarius Director shook with terror. Covered in his own blood, he sprang towards the nearest "world-class" weight.
Even if he couldn't understand it, since it could crush the Scale of Truth, whatever the hell this guy spouted had to be valuable!
Reacting quickly, Leon got up to chase him, attempting to stop him before the Temporal Rift ceased. However, with a body full of anomalous objects being suppressed tightly by a small asteroid, he couldn't activate anything. His physical abilities were far too inferior.
Thus, after only a few seconds of struggle, Leon was kicked away by the blood-spitting Aquarius Director, landing on several other weights.
"Abnormal Genesis Sorcery is derived from..."
"Society's development is a continuous..."
"The foundation of God-Suppressing Forked Fingers is..."
At the moment Leon touched them, the three weights instantly vanished, transforming into a torrent of knowledge pouring into his mind.
Meanwhile, on the other side, although the Aquarius Director managed to touch the weight with the elemental periodic table, he simply couldn't comprehend it no matter what. He clutched this incomparably precious world-class secret, staggering towards the Bureau Chief of the Purification Bureau... or rather the unconscious Nathan behind him.
Accompanied by a shout full of blood, the unconscious middle-aged Joshua inexplicably raised his hand, and an invisible portal opened wide in front of him!
Finally... finally...
Seeing the secret hideout that belonged to him outside the portal, the Aquarius Director, who had prepared thoroughly but suffered a series of setbacks, was almost brought to tears.
However, just as he threw the middle-aged Joshua inside and turned to utter some harsh words, he saw Leon swing a watermelon-sized crimson weight, striking the back of his head with a bang.
This is the power of the fifth chapter of Mage!
A direct hit from this ideology knocked the severely injured Aquarius Director down. Afraid that he would be dragged into the portal by the Aquarius Director, Leon didn't dare linger and immediately turned to run without any hesitation.
Similarly reacting, the Aquarius Director narrowly missed grabbing him, managing only to tear off Leon's coat tail.
Tch... slippery little brat!
Seeing the Temporal Rift about to dissipate, the Aquarius Director dared not chase further. He cast a venomous glance at Leon, then turned and retreated into the Gate of the Other World, hurriedly withdrawing from the Purification Bureau headquarters.
What the Aquarius Director hadn't noticed was that Leon's parting blow to his head wasn't just venting anger. A striking red strand of hair had been slyly tossed into his collar...
