MIGHT AS WELL BE OP

Everyone was left speechless at Anthony's displays.

The sheer amount of mana he just released while casting over a hundred spells continuously without a pause in between was simply mind numbing.

And yet the caster stood tall, with no signs of sweat or being pale or even being tired.

Even for the Null family who stood as one of the top families in the world and constantly produces geniuses were stunned.

They had never witnessed something so profound.

Although Anthony would love to continue casting spells left and right, he needed to retreat for the time being so he could relax.

So he casted one final spell to keep the monsters from approaching.

[Illusion Magic: Simple Sense Distortion]

Under everyone's senses the van turned into to a open carriage being pulled by horses with a stone laying on the carriage.

They were all flabbergasted by the sudden change in scenario.

(Of course this illusion didn't work on Anthony's family, he is too weak for that)

Amos and the rest of the crew suddenly became vigilant.

Then they heard a sound of fingers brushing against each another creating a snap sound.

*Snap*

This sound brought them out of their illusion and everything returned to normal.

Of course this was Anthony bring them out of the illusion, if not they had no hope of escaping.

Anthony then laid down on top of the van again and closed his eyes, with a smug on his face.

Everyone on the team had a grim expression on their faces, but none of them said anything

They just kept driving and moving forward.

After another three days of constantly moving, they finally stopped and let down their guards a little.

If it wasn't for Anthony's intervention, they would have been stumped to death under that stampede.

Everyone gathered together to share the loot from Anthony's massacre.

Anthony kept 70 percent and allowed them to share the rest amongst themselves.

Of course Anthony also took the most valuable corpse amongst all of them.

He was rich didn't mean he was generous or Santa Claus.

After sharing the rest amongst themselves, they talked for a bit as they continued getting closer to City Q.

"Anthony I didn't know you were this strong"

Zara said with a smile as it seemed she wasn't tired of her information fishing.

"Well, the Academy only accepts the strong and talented, if I wasn't strong or talented I wouldn't have been accepted in the first place"

Anthony replied.

"That makes sense" Zara said.

Zayne looked at Anthony and said with some hesitation.

"Anthony, how are you able to constantly cast spells like you had extra amount of mana"

Anthony looked at him and replied with a straight face and in a straight forward way.

"Well, that's part of my secret, so I can't really say, but I can only say that 'something' supplies the mana needed for such casting"

"Hoooo...so like an artifact that stores mana over time, then you can tap into that reserve of mana instead of yours"

Chika said as a certain type of light flashed his eyes in less than a second then disappeared.

Anthony didn't reply, he just smiled at them.

And to them, Anthony's silence was consent.

Anthony didn't confirm nor deny this because of Zara's skill.

Everything he said early was the truth...well not entirely, but indeed without talent and strength the Academy won't accept you as a student or professor.

Even when he said he had something that helped with the mana during the casting of the spells.

That too was the truth, he just didn't say what the thing was.

And when they said it was an artifact, he neither confirmed nor denied.

He just redirected the whole thing.

'So that means, Anthony has probably exhausted the mana stored in the artifact so he decided to stop'

'But the way he was still standing tall after casting all those spells shows he didn't touch the mana in his core incase of emergencies, it probably also takes a lot of time to recharge such large reservoir'

Zara quickly analysed at the side as she heard them discuss amongst one another.

But she wasn't the only one who arrived at this conclusion, everyone did.

Everyone chatted for a while as they finally got a breather as Anthony's illusion spell kept the monsters at bay.

Everyone rested for three hours this time before they all departed and continued their journey.

After journeying for an extra two days, they finally got to their destination.

City Q came into view the closer they drove.

This time Anthony didn't sit on top of the van.

Instead he drove his own car as they had already reached their destination.

They all got in without issues by clearing everything with security.

Anthony saw high rise buildings everywhere, people zooming past them with their own cars.

They drove up to a peculiar secluded area that made them look like they were thugs and were pushing illegal items and drugs.

They waited for a few minutes as Meek stepped out and made a call.

He talked on the phone for about a minute before he was done, and went back to stand near his bodyguard.

They waited for thirty minutes before a black car with tints arrived at the scene.

A man with red hair and red beards stepped out of the car.

His bodyguard followed behind him as the man walked up to Meek with a smile.

"How was the trip"

The man inquired with a smile.

"No need for small talks lets get down to business immediately"

Meek said like the business man that he was.

The man smiled and didn't say anything, he just replied with a simple nod.

A woman who was part of the bodyguard came forward and the rest stepped back.

Only the man and Meek remained by the van that was holding the supposed goods.

As everyone stepped back, the woman raised her hand and casted a spell.

[Barrier Magic: Space Enclosement]

The space around the van instantly became dark as a black dome materialized and covered fifty meters around the van.

Only those inside the enclosement can know what is happening inside the dome, not even the caster can.

As everything was prepared and done, Meek and the man started discussing.

"I hope what you said about the goods isn't a lie Meek"

The man said as he looked at the van.

"No need to speak so much"

Meek replied as he walked towards the van and opened it.

A heart revealed itself as it pulsed with pure uncontained energy.

It was a Dragon Heart

It possessed the fire element, eating such a thing could yield untold benefits.

Even if you don't have the fire element, you would still benefit in many ways.

This was why every monster was in a frenzy and was after the van.

Although the van hid the heart and withstood the energy being released by the heart.

The runes on the van couldn't fool the instinct of those monsters.

Although Meek could keep such things for himself and use it, he knew better than this.

He wasn't the battle type, it was simply a waste of fortune.

So, he sold it for an outrageous amount of money and resources.

Dragon corpse or either of their remains are hard to get as whenever a dragon dies, the clan always tries to get back its corpse to prevent a lot of things.

The red haired man's eyes instantly lit up when he saw the package.

"You delivered on your promise, now I shall deliver on mine"

The man said as he took off a space ring from one of his fingers and tossed it to Meek.

Meek caught it and looked through its content, then nodded with a satisfied look on his face.

The red haired man instantly took out a huge box with runes on and in it and transferred the dragon heart there.

Meek and the man both looked at each other and nodded as a sign of closure of business.

The man sent a signal to the barrier woman and the barrier was instantly lifted.

Meek looked at his crew then nodded.

They all walked to their car and stepped on the gas as they all disappeared from sight.

.......

Author's thought

If there is a god or a random omnipotent being out there.

I would like to reincarnate in my own novel as Anthony's twin with a binding system so I can bind to Anthony.

I guess reality is often disappointing.
