If it wasn't necessary, he really wouldn't have chosen this path.
...But who asked him to encounter that guy?
The old mage bearing the demeanor of a "baboon," Sandro, holding his magic wand, left the palace of the slumbering lion.
Walking on the street, he sighed: "Such a headache..."
If nothing unexpected happened, that fox should also be an ascender, and moreover, the one ranked first—the "Great Snake."
The host even judged that she was more powerful than he was with his magic wand in hand—
—Keep in mind that the core material of the wand he's holding is a gemstone from the Geometric Celestial Marshal!
With the wand he personally crafted, he could exert a crushing blow against most Fifth Energy Level Transcendents... In fact, the old mage known as "Pelican" had already formulated a strategy in case he ended up being targeted by others for ranking first. Everyone was baffled as they entered.
