Chapter 973 (2/2)
But it was a pity that ants and mice weren’t different in the eyes of a gigantic elephant.
“My hand burns in scarlet flames, yelling for me to hold on to victory. Erupt! Earth-shattering fist!”
“———!”
A blinding white radiance flashed.
At the next moment, the crowd witnessed Gabe being flung into the air by a tornado, his body twisting and spinning. After the tornado gradually dispersed, the pitiful mage crashed to the ground. If it weren’t for his robe, he would have fallen to his death. Richard and his group realized that even though the blast was huge, the campsite wasn’t damaged at all! Her powerful strength and absolute mastery of skills left them revering in awe.
“Why? You got anything else to say?”
Mini Bubble Gum strolled to the unconscious man, dragged him up by the collar, and glared fiercely at him. She pouted in displeasure and lifted her fist once again. At this moment… She heard Rhode’s voice.
“Alright, Bubble, time to eat.”
“Got it, Leader.”
Mini Bubble Gum swept a glance at the man before loosening her grip and tossing him to the ground. Then, she turned around and strolled toward Rhode, only to come to a halt when she passed by Stewart. Stewart’s forehead was filled with beads of sweat after witnessing his mentor being completely crushed by her. He didn’t expect that even his mentor was defeated mercilessly. What else could he do?
“D-Don’t kill me…”
“Tsk.”
Mini Bubble Gum erected her brows. Then, she raised her right foot and stomped between his legs.
“Ahhhhhhhhh!”
Stewart screamed mournfully in pain, but Mini Bubble Gum wasn’t satisfied yet. She grinned, rubbing the sole of the boot a couple more times on the smashed testicles before joining back to Rhode’s group. Of course, she didn’t forget to cast another light beam on Stewart. But this time, he rolled his eyes and went into a coma.
Many male apprentices instinctively held on to the object between their legs, protecting their pair.
Just like this, Rhode’s group strutted off and no one except the two bashed-up idiots dared to stop them. All the apprentices and mentors witnessed how Mini Bubble Gum crushed Gabe. Even though she was merciful, they had to admit that the reputation of a high-level mentor like Gabe had gone down the drain entirely.
“Hey… Richard?” Aaron gazed out of fear and respect at the several figures who left their camp. Then, he continued. “… I realize that we’re really lucky. Aren’t we?”

“Traces of Chaos?”
Mini Bubble Gum cocked her head to the side. Then, she hammered her fist into the palm.
“No wonder the system report seems a little strange. So this was why.”
“Report?”
“Yes, Leader, Big sister. Look.”
As Phantom Guardians, Mini Bubble Gum and Canary had their individual player system interfaces. Mini Bubble Gum extended her hand and gesticulated in midair. A system interface appeared before Canary and Rhode. But no one except for the three of them could see it.
“Look.”
The system reflected her godlike damage output and among them, there were a few that were unlike the rest.
[Purification Damage +30004]
[Purification Damage +23054]
[Purification Damage +19732]
It wasn’t news to see the word ‘purification’ because Mini Bubble Gum’s strength was pure, sacred energy. It was common to see it when she fought Chaos creatures, demons, devils, and undeads, but bewildering when it appeared from battles with humans.
“Devil or Chaos?”
Without a doubt, they got straight into the question instantly. If the enemy was a Chaos worshiper, it would be impossible to ‘purify’ him because there was only something wrong with his mind and he ultimately was still a person of Order. But since he was ‘purified’, it meant that he was either contaminated by Chaos or possessed by a devil.
“Who knows. But I think both are possible. Considering his mage identity, the latter possibility is higher. After all, he can conceal his magic aura, but if the group of old farts in the Mage Tower didn’t even notice the pure Chaos aura in him, they are better off dying.”
Rhode came to a halt at Mini Bubble Gum’s response. He pondered for a while, before activating spiritual communications.
“Marlene, can u hear me?”
“Hmm… Rhode? Yes, hold on. I’m here. Give me a moment…”
It seems like Marlene hadn’t gotten used to communicating spiritually. After a few moments of silence, her voice sounded again.
“Rhode… can you hear me? How are you doing there? Is anything the problem?”
“We’ve just arrived at the Deepest Labyrinth and met some interesting things. By the way, how’s negotiations with the Mage Tower? Who is their representative?”
“The negotiations are done. The Mage Tower is currently building the Dimension Gate and branch office under my supervision. As for their representative, it is Madam Mandy, one of the high-level mentors.”
“Got it.”
Rhode nodded.
“Marlene, I need you to immediately look for the higher-ups of the Mage Tower and ask them about the apprentice test taking place in the Enchanted Forest and Deepest Labyrinth. I also want to know who suggested this proposal. By the way…”
The corners of his mouth lifted.
“Don’t forget to bring Alice along.”
