Around Magnolia, the number of mountains, while not many, was certainly not few. If they were to form a mountain range, they could probably encircle the entire Magnolia two or thirty times.

However, even so, the sudden disappearance of a mountain still caught the attention of many townspeople.

Therefore, these past two days, Magnolia has been more bustling than usual, with almost everyone talking about the sudden disappearance of a mountain, turning it into a topic of casual conversation after meals.

While the entire Magnoria was engrossed in this topic, not far from Magnolia, in a remote wilderness, the culprit behind this incident appeared.

Noah stood on the vast wilderness with his eyes closed, motionless like a statue.

Not far away, Mira and Lisanna, who had been here for some time, were quietly observing the scene.

Since the day before yesterday, when he turned the nearby mountain into a pile of rubble, Noah no longer dared to stay on any mountain. Instead, he found a desolate wilderness where no one usually came, built a simple stone house, and settled down.

Noah knew that he was born with a physique different from ordinary people.

His body could not only be immune to all negative forces and side effects but could also absorb powers that did not originally belong to him but entered his body. It could autonomously recover magic power and possessed magic power and sensory abilities that others could not match.

Without mentioning other things, just the extraordinary magic power alone meant that once Noah learned magic, his strength would definitely skyrocket.

Moreover, the magic Noah chose was the super-high-level destructive magic 'Crush'. Using such powerful magic to cast 'Crush' would make its power absolutely astonishing.

Despite knowing this, Noah still miscalculated.

As a result, Noah underestimated himself.

He really did not expect that after just less than a day of learning 'Crush', he could completely turn an entire mountain into rubble!

If he had known this would happen, Noah would never have chosen to stay on a mountain but would have found a desolate wilderness like now.

Of course, even so, Noah's path of learning magic could not be said to be peaceful.

If someone happened to pass by here, they would be greatly surprised.

Because, on this vast and desolate wilderness, the ground was dotted with deep pits of various sizes, ranging from a diameter of two to three hundred meters to at least forty to fifty meters. They were arranged in a chaotic manner, as if hit by a continuous barrage of meteorites, which was quite astonishing.

These deep pits were the results of Noah's practice of 'Crush' or his inability to control 'Crush' over the past two days.

It was also because of these deep pits that Mira and Lisanna, who had already understood that Noah had learned 'Crush', easily found Noah.

From a distance, Lisanna was puzzled as she watched Noah standing there motionless.

"What is Noah-nii doing?"

"This..." Mira pondered for a moment before answering.

"If I'm not mistaken, that guy is probably getting familiar with the sensation of 'Crush'."

"The sensation of 'Crush'?" Lisanna was even more confused, her face full of bewilderment.

"When you clench your fist and use force, don't you easily feel the power in your clenched fist?" Mira explained.

"Magic is the same. If you compare magic power to strength, a mage can definitely feel the magic power gathering in a certain way when using magic. Noah is now getting familiar with the sensation of his magic when it is activated."

"Is there any significance to this?" Lisanna blinked.

"As long as you can use magic, why do you need to get familiar with the sensation of magic activation?"

"Of course, others wouldn't bother doing this, but Noah has a reason to." Mira said with a hint of schadenfreude.

"I think he wants to get familiar with the sensation of his magic activation first. This way, even if he can't control the magic, he can react in time and take appropriate action. Like before, if Noah had run out of the mountain when his magic went out of control, the mountain wouldn't have disappeared."

"But this is also beneficial for him." Mira crossed her arms.

"By getting familiar with the sensation of his magic activation, he can better control his magic during practice."

"Is that so?" Lisanna muttered, her voice filled with hesitation.

"I was thinking of coming to see Noah-nii, but now that he is practicing hard, what should I do?"

"What to do? Just go over, can't you?" Mira didn't have as many concerns as Lisanna and walked directly towards Noah.

"Wait, Mira-nee... Really..." Lisanna hurriedly followed.

Ahead, Noah stood with his eyes closed, quietly.

Inside Noah's body, magic power was flowing orderly under his control, gradually growing stronger.

Feeling the magic power within his body, Noah nodded to himself, recalling the method of using 'Crush'. He then decided to cast 'Crush' once.

At this moment, the footsteps of Mira and Lisanna also reached Noah's ears, making him pause as he was about to cast the spell.

"Buzz——!"

At this moment, the magic power inside Noah's body began to flow faster and, in a short instant, surged like a wild horse, following the method of activation for the spell Noah was preparing to use.

"Oh no!" Noah was alarmed.

This was the prelude to the activation of 'Crush'!

Realizing this, Noah quickly turned his head and shouted at Mira and Lisanna.

"Don't come over!"

Mira and Lisanna were both stunned and instinctively stopped in their tracks.

"Buzz——!"

At the same time, a dazzling light burst from Noah's body, expanding like a shockwave in all directions.

"——!"

Seeing the shockwave-like light rushing towards them, Mira and Lisanna were taken aback. In a hurry, they only managed to raise their hands to shield their eyes before their slender bodies were swallowed by the blinding light.

"Bang——!"

A loud noise suddenly echoed.

It was the sound of the ground, covered by the light that burst from Noah's body, turning into a pile of rubble and forming a deep pit.

After a while, the light dissipated, and Noah's heart, standing in the deep pit, began to race.

Could it be that Mira and Lisanna were hit by my 'Crush'...

"What's going on?"

"You scared me."

Fortunately, the feared disaster did not come to pass.

Mira and Lisanna were still standing there, their faces showing surprise but no injuries, and they were not missing any limbs.

"Mira! Lisanna!"

The heavy stone in Noah's heart finally lifted, but the thought of what could have happened if the worst had occurred made his face tighten.

However, before Noah could scold Mira and Lisanna, something unexpected happened.

"Rip——!"

With a tearing sound, pieces of differently colored fabric flew off Mira and Lisanna's bodies.

It was their clothes!

In the next moment, the two young, tender, and equally charming bodies, both pale and full of a unique allure, were exposed to the sunlight and to Noah's eyes, becoming a sight that Noah might never forget for the rest of his life.

Staring at the two charming, tender bodies before him, with the small, rosy nipples on Mira and Lisanna's underdeveloped chests clearly visible, Noah's eyes widened, and his mouth slowly opened.

"Hmm?"

Mira and Lisanna felt a chill on their bodies, looked down, and saw their familiar pale bodies. The two girls' minds went blank, and their faces turned red in an instant.

"Ah——!"

A few seconds later, two shrill screams echoed over the pitted wilderness, lingering for a long time.
