Chapter 151: Attack!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the Spell Casters gradually left the Dark Magic Region, the Dark Magic Region that was usually lively looked a little empty.

However, It was the same in Wizard Leo’s toweṛ after Numerous Spell Casters had left. ̣ Merlin initially thought of constructing a First-level spell, but he eventually changed his mind due to a shortage of time as constructing it would take up to one or two days.

The Dark Magic Region was not a place for him to linger for long. It would be better for him to leave and move to another place as soon as possible, and only then should he attempt to construct a First-level spell.

Merlin bumped into Elena when he was leaving Wizard Leo’s tower. It seemed like she had been waiting for Merlin on purpose.

“Wizard Merlin.”

Elena stepped forward to Merlin looking slightly hesitant.

“Wizard Elena, is something wrong?”

Merliṇ knitted his brows together as he pondered about what went wrong. It was unlike Elena to be so hesitant in speaking.

Elena suddenly lifted her head looking as if she had made up her mind. Then, she asked in a low voice, “Wizard Merlin, if you have the opportunity to become a First-level Spell Caster in the future, will you consider making me your attendant?”

“Um…”

Merlin appeared confused. Why did Elena and Laurinka both believe that Merlin would one day become a First-level Spell Caster? Or perhaps, they had run out of options?

No matter what was the reason, it was definite that Merlin could never satisfy Elena’s request. Hence, he shook his head and said, “Wizard Elena, I have an attendant. It’s Wizard Laurinka who was sent out of the Dark Magic Region earlier.”

Merlin had nothing to hide about Laurinka. However, a look of disappointment washed over Elena’s face when she heard the name. she then shook her head and replied, “Wizard Laurinka made her move quick…Well, there’s nothing much I can do now since Wizard Merlin already has an attendant. I’m afraid we’ll have to be outside for a long time once we leave the Dark Magic Region. If Wizard Merlin’s ever in the Floating City, don’t forget to drop by the Delman Family and look for me!”

Merlin nodded and realized that Elena was showing her good intentions.

The both of them continued to chat for a short while before Elena left the Wizard Tower with several other Spell Casters.

Merlin glanced around the surroundings of the Wizard Tower and saw numerous Spell Casters moving in a hurry. Although the Dark Magic Region had announced that there were three days for preparation, almost half of the Spell Casters had already taken their leave on the first day.

Merlin did not linger either. In fact, He was headed for that massive Runic Magic Circle cast in the middle of the Dark Magic Region, because the only way to leave the Dark Magic Region was to be transported through these Runic Magic Circles.

Although Merlin had long figured out which Runic Magic Circle to select-, There was actually no Runic Magic Circle that could transport one directly from the Dark Magic Region to anywhere in the Prakash City State. Even the Runic Magic Circle in the Kurdish Mountains only allowed one-way entrance into the Dark Magic Region.

The closest transfer point to the Prakash City was near a small town called Ditas.

Two silhouettes stood quietly among the red maple forest. One of them was dressed in a peculiar way — a long black robe with a large cloak that shaded almost his entire face.

“Neil, you better have some quality goods for me this time, seeing that you called me out in such a hurry. Don’t make me rush here for nothing like the last time.”

The man in black cloak said indifferently.

The figure that stood right next to the man in the black cloak was, surprisingly, Wizard Neil from the Dark Magic Region.

Wizard Neil sneered. “Heh, Vyksa, you still don’t trust me? You couldn’t have advanced to a First-level Spell Caster this quickly if we didn’t partner up to kill so many Spell Casters in the Dark Magic Region. Listen to me, I’m sure I’ll make you a huge profit this time.”

The Wizard in black cloak thought about it for a moment before he asked, “Neil, you wrote to me saying there’s a Six-Elemental Spell Caster. You must be kidding me, a Six-Elemental Spell Caster in the Dark Magic Region?”

The expression on Wizard Neil’s face twisted as he said in a low voice, “Have I ever lied to you? This Six-Elemental Spell Caster, hehe, would you believe me if I told you he was only a roaming wizard a year ago? Heh, I’ve already inquired about him. He’s from the Prakash City, so he’s definitely coming here through the Runic Magic Circle in the Dark Magic Region. Kill him, and we might be able to gain some unexpected results.”

The wizard in the black cloak did not reply. Instead, he turned his gaze toward a barely noticeable space within the maple forest.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz.”

All of a sudden, mysterious runes began to flash and a silhouette instantly appeared in the maple forest.

“Here he comes!”

Wizard Neil’s eyes immediately lit up with a glimmer of enthusiasm.

“Swoosh.”

Merlin appeared out of the Runic Magic Circle. Although this was also a long-distance transportation, Merlin did not feel any discomfort.

“This should be the maple forest outside of Ditas Town?”

Merlin’s mood turned better as he looked around the red maple trees covering the hills, almost as if the hill has been set aflame. This was his first time seeing such breathtaking scenery.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Merlin noticed two figures in the distance and one of them was Wizard Neil.

Merlin still remembered the other day in Resource Tower when Wizard Ryllis relayed to him a message from Wizard Holmes, reminding him to beware of Wizard Neil. Yet, he did not expect to meet Wizard Neil here.

Merlin was not bothered by Wizard Neil, but he could sense a dangerous feeling coming from the man who stood beside him — the one dressed in a black robe cloak.

“Wizard Merlin, what a coincidence! You’ve just left the Dark Magic Region as well? I just arrived here and was getting ready to leave with Wizard Vyksa.”

Although There was nothing strange with Wizard Neil, he appeared unusually ‘surprised’ and ‘enthusiastic’ as he swiftly walked toward Merlin.

“Oh, it’s you, Wizard Neil. what a coincidence indeed!”

Merlin revealed a smile on his face, even though he tried to appear calm as he, too, fastened his pace and walked toward Wizard Neil.

A faint brilliance flashed across Wizard Neil’s eyes. Then, as if he was pressed for time, he quickened his pace even more.

“Ten meters, eight meters, five meters, three meters…”

The smile still hung on Merlin’s face, but he was silently counting the distance and waited until he was only three meters away from Wizard Neil.

“Attack!”

Without warning, Merlin waved his hand in the air.

“Dark Mist!”

Dark Mist’s Spell Model was suddenly triggered by Mind Power, and a group of mist surrounded Wizard Neil and the cloaked man.

Merlin currently could not cast a strengthened version of the Dark Mist as he had not cast it for three times yet. However, the normal Dark Mist was enough for Wizard Neil to fall into the illusion.

“Thunderbolt Net!”

A massive Thunderbolt Net fell from the sky instantaneously, covering Wizard Neil and the man in the black cloak completely.

Apart from Thunderbolt Net, dozens of Fireballs appeared in front of Merlin within seconds. Among them were several Large Fireballs.

“Go!”

Merlin pointed and dozens of scorching Fireballs immediately flew into the Dark Mist.

“Whoosh.”

Suddenly, a loud noise sounded in the air. Merlin immediately felt a strong threat as his Mind Power picked up the violent fluctuations of Wind Elements. Soon, an arrow came flying toward Merlin’s direction.

Merlin instantaneously recognized this spell. It was the First-level Wind-type Bright Wind that was extremely powerful. Merlin had previously encountered it when he fought against Wizard Loan in the conference.

“Earth Guard!”

Wind Elements also appeared around Merlin’s body. Then, He quickly cast Gale and Earth Guard and raised a sturdy protective wall around him.

However, the Bright Wind was released by the man in the black cloak, which explained why he was not affected by the Dark Mist. Instead, his Mind Power was so strong that it tore through the Dark Mist, located Merlin, and threw out a spell.

“Boom.”

This was the sound of the explosion made by Merlin’s Fireballs. As Scorching flames scattered all around, Tongues of fire ignited the dry maple leaves on the ground. For a second, the flames rose toward the sky, as if it was trying to burn down the entire maple forest.

“Bang.”

Bright Wind also landed violently on the wall in front of Merlin, but without mercy, he broke it down completely before it started shooting toward Merlin. Fortunately, Merlin was well-prepared — he knew that dealing with First-level spell was not an easy task. After He cast several Earth Guards continuously, a strengthened version of Earth Guard was finally cast to fend off Bright Wind.

After that, both Merlin and the black-robed cloaked man that was trapped in the Dark Mist did not cast any more spells. Merlin just kept his eyes forward cautiously. When the Dark Mist eventually dissipated and the flames died down, a figure appeared from within.

This figure belonged to that man in the black robe cloak. Yet, there was no sign of obvious injuries on his body. Evidently, neither Dark Mist or Large Fireball that Merlin casted had any effect on the cloaked man.

However, Wizard Neil was not blessed by the same fate. He had fallen into illusion the moment Merlin enveloped him using the Dark Mist and was killed brutally by the great explosion created by dozens of Fireballs. The flames had burned his corpse beyond recognition.

All Merlin did was glance calmly at Wizard Neil’s dead body before he focused his gaze forward at the man in the black-robed cloak. The other party who was invited by Wizard Neil was able to cast Bright Wind effortlessly. This meant that Wizard Neil had confidence in this cloaked man, and there was a high chance that he was a First-level Spell Caster.

“Poor Neil, he’s such an idiot!”

The cloaked man said slowly in a calm voice.

“Frost!”

“Bright Wind!”

The both of them exchanged glances. Violent fluctuation of Elements sparkled on their bodies before they cast their spells simultaneously. In an instant, Ice-type spell and Wind-type spell blotted out the sky and covered up the earth.
