Within Blackthorn City, Besides the Vossen household preparing for departure, multiple other big-name households also had the same intention. Due to the level of threat posed to their kingdom, they did not hesitate to mobilize magic airships for their journey.

Nevertheless, the first to depart from Blackthorn City were none of the big households but no-name individuals that weren\'t tied to any major forces in the capital.

They were generally called rogue wanderers, which was a particular classification for people who preferred living unfettered lives and working alone, unbound by household rules and expectations.

However, that also implied that among them were people that lived without principles and resorted to underhanded tactics to gain advantages over others.

Although not all, they were generally seen as selfish people whose actions were solely based on self-interest.

Within a short time, hundreds of rogue wanderers had already crossed several regions and passed Hundred Night City, reaching the Shadow Swamp, where the northern blockade was set up.

"Halt! Where have you all come from?! Return at once! The path to Redpine City is off-limits!" a Peak-stage Senior Witch from the royal army stepped out and warned the incoming group, "Stop! Proceed any further, and you\'ll be met with…"

Before the Peak-stage Senior Witch could finish speaking, her whole blockade party had an abrupt change in expressions when they realized the incoming group showed no signs of stopping.

In that instant, the sense of danger made them pale with bone-chilling goosebumps.

At the forefront of the large incoming group of rogue wanderers, the wealthier ones rode on tamed beasts and magic-powered land vessels.

The group intended to bulldoze over them like stepping on insects on the road.

"Dodge it!" the Peak-stage Senior Witch cried, warning her party.

Rumble!

Everyone evaded the ongoing traffic of tamed beasts and magic-powered land vessels in the nick of time. If they had been any slower, they would have been crushed to death under the stampede of rogue wanderers.

"Bitches!"

One of the Peak-stage Senior Witches in the blockade team cussed shortly after she resurfaced from the swamp water, soaked in black gooey substances.

But no matter how furious the blockade team felt, it was impossible for them to catch up to the rogue wanderer group, let alone catch them all.

Nevertheless, sometime after the group of rogue wanderers was long gone, several more people passed by at a more leisurely pace.

The blockade team glared at the newcomers vengefully. They couldn\'t stop a whole crowd of riders, but they could at least stop a small group of witches traveling by foot—or so they thought.

"Stop! This road is off-limits to—!"

Pak!

The Peak-stage Senior Witch was suddenly slapped across the face, sending her flying back into a puddle of black swamp water.

The slap came so fast that she, a Peak-stage Senior Witch, had no time to react. That could only mean the assailant was physically stronger.

"Who the hell do you think you are to block my path?" the Early-stage High Witch snorted contemptuously and said, "Your superiors are all under suspicion of treason. If you don\'t want to be viewed the same way, you better abandon your order and stop blocking the road!"

"Hmph!"

The Early-stage High Witch snorted again before going on her way, no longer paying attention to the witches and aura users from the royal army.

At the same time, the witches and aura users from the royal army stayed in the swamp with dumbfounded and confused looks.

They didn\'t have a single clue regarding the situation. They haven\'t heard from their superiors since their last report.

"Shit, what the hell is going on?" a Peak-level Aura Master wondered.

Although they didn\'t believe the Early-stage High Witch\'s words, they didn\'t dare to doubt it either.

As such, they didn\'t do anything and let everyone pass. They feared making rash judgments that would screw them over.

In the past four days, Sunpeak Town underwent startling development that could even rival the changes in its entire past month.

Naturally, as more people moved to Sunpeak Town, more resources and human labor were acquired for the town\'s development.

However, the most significant changes didn\'t come from the outer town area, where its population was the densest; they came from the central town area.

In particular, the central area had a new sixty-floor building that reached three hundred feet tall.

The bottom two hundred feet of the building were used for public accommodations. On the other hand, the upper hundred feet were off-limits and acted as a magic tower, drawing in mana from the atmosphere.

Nevertheless, the most crucial point was it only took one day to complete four-fifths of its construction. Moreover, it was done by a single person.

It was a ground-breaking record in the history of construction, considering the sophisticated design.

At that moment, the local townspeople had gathered in the central town area once more to observe another skyscraper in the making, and even more people blindly joined the crowd out of curiosity.

All the materials for the new three-hundred-foot building were prepared at the scene.

Originally, preparing the raw materials needed for the construction project wouldn\'t have taken them so quickly.

However, everything changed once the spatial teleporters were deployed, connecting Redpine City, Sunpeak Town, Blackmoon City, and Wolfwater City. It wasn\'t long before they added Eastcliff City to the network.

Coupled with the Red Dragon Clan\'s vast wealth of resources, it would be strange if they couldn\'t gather enough building materials for a mere three-hundred-foot building.

Shortly after Vaan confirmed the raw materials, his Omni-Sense spread out and covered the area.

Then, the blocks of wood, nails, screws, bolts, metal frames, ingots, bars, and other building materials began rising off the ground before coming together perfectly at high speed to form the building.

It was like a reverse-dismantling process of an already completed three-hundred-foot building as the pieces of the puzzle were put back together.

But although it looked amazing and simple, like a work of art to the spectators, only Vaan knew the sheer amount of multi-tasking, calculations, and visualization required to maintain the high-speed construction.

Coupled with his control over fire, wood, earth, and kinetic energy, the consumption of mental strength was no joke.

Even so, it was still an acceptable expenditure due to his Peak Demigod-rank dragon soul.

Meanwhile, the crowd could only watch in awe.
