Burning Legion literally devours the Hulk, swallowing the huge monster up in just two bites. One bite for the upper body, and another for the lower body.

Well, in three bites actually if you consider its torn arms and legs.

It is necessary to assimilate –

”Za Warudo!”

Time stops just as an air blade is about to slice through my neck and cut off my head. It is the only part that are unprotected by my micromachines robe.

The magic attack came from that goblin shaman or mage, and from Selene's analysis, it is the strongest spellcaster found in all the dungeons so far, and I have been to several dungeons already. This dungeon is the largest I have seen though.

The creature's magical power is roughly around the first stage of the 2nd circle.

Even so, how fucking annoying.

Please don't interrupt me when I am monologuing for the masses. And a boss of a secret organization, hell-bent on taking over the world and making sure the human race joins hands and sings kumbaya, must be able to monologue uninterrupted.

It is my damn right!

Anyway, Burning Legion – I give Legion the nickname when he is on fire – needs to devour the Hulk – that is the Hobgoblin, green and very angry – in its entirety to unlock all its secret.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

If I just want the information and knowledge, I really only need the soft organ at the centre of its head, but magical power does not actually come from there, so Legion must assimilate its body. That is why Legion also consume its ripped arms and legs just to make sure all the necessary parts are assimilated.

Now, I just need to wait for Legion to do his magic. That is a pun. There is nothing magic about this.

It is purely science, so one for science? Hurray!

Are we still keeping score?

No? Okay, let's move on.

”Windstorm!”

The goblin shaman calls out, casting another wind spell when time is allowed to continue flowing.

There is no need for the vocalization of the spell, but its shouting gets me really pumping, so I shouted something from memory when I stop time. Shouting out spells for the heck of it also gives me a sense of adventure. It is like playing a role-playing game… in real life?

What do you know? Where is my beautiful princess, who has baked a lovely cake for me? I think that is a sexual innuendo. Good job, Nintendo. Thank you for corrupting kids worldwide.

”Firestorm!”

I response vocally in kind. A magical incantation diagram manifests before my palm. Countless fire and storm runes fill in the circumference of the circle quickly. It takes just under a couple of seconds now, thanks to my proficiency in the fire rune.

Spiralling flame roars and crashes against an incoming tornado. Their clash constantly shredding blasts of shockwave and heatwave throughout the dungeon, sending dozens of Yoda flying.

There are like hundreds if not thousands of goblins in this dark dungeon. It is a lot more than the other dungeons I have been to previously.

It probably has something to do with the massive Hulk in this dungeon.

Its nakedness leaves nothing to the imagination.

And I am so glad that Marvel Comics decides to give the Hulk an indestructible pair of pants… because the horrors!

Ahem…

This is not the time to think about those stuffs even if I own most of Marvel Comics and can basically tell them how I want those stories to progress.

I am currently in combat with a powerful mage, so I should pay more attention. I might learn a thing or two in the process.

Since I am equivalent to a mage of the 1st circle, my flame should lose out the elemental struggle with a mage of the 2nd circle, but from my understanding, fire should triumph over wind as air does make flames burns more intensely due to the increase in oxygen.

The Heavenly Book on Basic Magic confirms this scientific analysis. However, geniuses studying in the arcane art can reverse this elemental advantageous with their greater understanding of the element.

How? The Heavenly Book does not say since it is just a basic introduction to magic.

I need more books to compile a complete Heavenly Path to Magic!

Anyway, I can guess fairly accurately on how wind can beat fire using scientific knowledge. There are a lot more stuffs in the air than just oxygen. Hans demonstrates this through his duels with Alex.

Their duels are always recorded for research purposes. They are scientists before they are mages. Just because they can cast magic, doesn't mean they disregard everything they have studied.

Hans' winds can supress Alex's flames because Hans sucks out all the oxygen in the air. Without oxygen as accelerant, Alex's flame burns less intensely and consumes more magical power to remain burning even without oxygen.

Magical energy does bend reality to the wielder's will.

In any case, Hans can literally suffocate people with his mastery over the wind element. As a mage of the 10th circle, he didn't need to lift a finger to basically kill every human on the planets. Just remove all oxygen in the atmosphere and everyone is as good as dead.

This just show magic does not completely disregard the natural law of the universe.

I don't think the inhabitants of Azula understands the true nature of the universe, as they are still very primitive in things scientific.
