Chapter 386: The Inevitable Battle I

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Blacksand Fort was a large spell casters’ organization that specialized in Refining casting tools. In the Spell Casters’ most glorious era, some casting tools were powerful enough to rival Great Wizards!
Blacksand Fort had exactly such a casting tool known as the Holy Fort Guardian Spirit!
Although the Holy Fort Guardian Spirit was very powerful, under normal circumstances, Blacksand Fort would not be willing to activate it because the cost of each launch was too great. With the ability of a large spell casters’ organization like Blacksand Fort, each time it was called into action, within an hour, decades’ worth of resources of Blacksand Fort would be consumed.
Blacksand Fort could not afford to use such a terrible “power-hungry entity” rashly. It was not surprising that it had not been activated before this. It was not until Wizard Utto and Wizard Tumen found that it was impossible to defeat the Black-White Great Wizard in a short time that they were willing to activate it now.
“Holy Fort Guardian Spirit, wake up!”
Wizard Tumen and Wizard Utto repeatedly showcased some complex runic handprints and channeled them into the ground below Blacksand Fort.
“Hum hum hum.”
Suddenly, the entire ground began to quake violently, especially at the open area in Blacksand Fort. Initially, many Spell Casters from Blacksand Fort could not wrap their heads around what such a large open area was left for?
Now, Spell Casters who were present to witness the changes that happened here finally understood why.
In this open area, the ground began to shake violently, and huge cracks began to form. It was just like a huge turtle shell as the cracks on the ground were full of a criss-cross patterns as though the ground would break at any moment.
“Boom!”
Finally, the ground had broken apart entirely, revealing a huge area under the ground. In the dark, an enormous creature slowly started moving. Firs, it revealed its huge back, and then its long legs which were taller than a five-story tower.
One, two, three… Eight legs!
A total of eight black, metallic lustrous “legs” supported a large, sturdy body that looked just like a black spider. This was the Holy Fort Guardian Spirit of Blacksand Fort, a peak-level alchemy product. It was left over from the Spell Casters’ most glorious era, and it represented one of the highest achievements in alchemy!
In addition to the metallic luster of its body which gave off a faint glow, two sharp horns extended from this odd gigantic spider’s forehead too. It seemed a little nondescript.
Since the appearance of the Holy Fort Guardian Spirit, the entire Blacksand Fort seemed to be quaking incessantly.
“Swoosh.”
All of a sudden, the Holy Fort Guardian Spirit, whose eyes were originally closed, opened its eyes abruptly. Its two eyes were actually deep and hollow, and there were no eyeballs at all. However, a trace of coldness flashed from the hollow eyes, which made both Wizard Utto and Wizard Tumen shudder inexplicably.
Nonetheless, the gaze of the Holy Fort Guardian Spirit was not directed at Utto and Tumen, but at the pair of black and white Wizards – the Black-White Great Wizard!
…
Many Spell Casters gathered in the hall while the entrance was blocked by a man carrying a silver sword and another tall and thin Wizard. Both of them looked at all the Spell Casters in the hall with a hostile gaze.
This time, they had only one purpose for following the powerful Wizards of Ozmu here, which was to kill!
They would take however many they could kill. Blacksand Fort had gathered the vast majority of spell casters’ organizations or Spell Caster clans in the southern Spell Caster world this time. If they were indeed united together, it would pose a huge threat to Ozmu.
Thus, Ozmu raided Blacksand Fort. Although the number of Wizards sent was not many, they were all true geniuses. They had almost no rivals at the same level.
It was for a fact that every member of Ozmu was tempted from spell casters’ organizations or Spell Casters clans through various methods. Each of them could be considered favored by God. Yet, they were all now rallied in Ozmu. With the mysterious and unimaginably vast heritage of Ozmu, these geniuses would naturally grow to become even more terrifying.
This time, though Ozmu had only sent a Great Wizard, it was the notorious Black-White Great Wizard who was capable of containing two Great Wizards of Blacksand Fort. It was evident that they were well prepared and had a very thorough plan.
Apart from the Black-White Great Wizard, there were also high-level Spell Casters namely Ninth-level, Eighth-level, and Seventh-level Spell Casters, all of which had entered Blacksand Fort the moment the Black-White Great Wizard tore apart the Runic Magic Circle of Blacksand Fort.
As for Spell Casters below the Seventh-level, the weakest were Fourth-level Spell Casters. Among the Fourth-level Spell Casters, they had Wizards like Kleis, who was capable of defeating the Miracle Child.
Even if they were inferior to Kleis, the damage would be horrible because they could rival Sixth-level Spell Casters. With such a group of Spell Casters invading Blacksand Fort, it was simply an unimaginable disaster.
“Pom pom pom.”
Intense Elemental fluctuations had also emanated from the inner court of Blacksand Fort.
The inner court was where Spell Casters of the Fourth-level to the Sixth-level of various major spell casters’ organizations who participated in the summit held their competitions. Besides, most Spell Casters of the spell casters’ organizations from the Seventh-level to the Ninth-level also entered the inner court.
Only the competition of the Spell Casters in the inner court could pique some interest in the Seventh-level or higher Spell Casters. Especially Spell Casters like Leo, whom some of the Seventh-level and Eighth-level Wizards were very fearful of.
However, at this moment, intense Elemental fluctuations radiated from the inner court. There were obviously powerful Spell Casters fighting each other, indicating that powerful Wizards from Ozmu had most likely made their way into the inner court and were now in a fierce battle.
A few smart Spell Casters had already sensed a huge crisis coming their way. They knew that if they could not get out of the hall, they would be in real danger.
Therefore, they started a commotion in the crowd. All eyes stared at the entrance of the hall. They braced themselves to break through Ozmu’s line of defense and rushed out of the hall.
“We’ll only have a chance to survive if we rush out of the hall. Stop hesitating, everyone. If we don’t leave now, there won’t be another chance!”
“Yes, now we could only try to rush out of the hall and quickly leave Blacksand Fort. This time, the Wizards from Ozmu were fully prepared, and they won’t leave empty-handed. They plan to make a clean sweep of all the elites of our southern Spell Caster world!”
“This time, those who were able to attend the summit are surely all geniuses of the various spell casters’ organizations. In addition, the Spell Casters who led their team here were surely the absolute core of the respective organizations too. If they are lost, I fear that most of the southern spell casters’ organizations would suffer heavy losses and be deprived a part of their power. In the future, Ozmu would become even more unscrupulous. Therefore, we must get out of here!”
Being stared at by countless eyes, even Silver Sword Heulier and the thin, tall Spell Caster felt their scalps numb. If solely depending on the two of them, they would surely not be able to hold them off.
“Kill them, then leave the hall!”
Nobody knew who screamed from within the crowd. Thus, the fury of the numerous Spell Casters was thoroughly set off. Countless Spell Casters began to cast spells or Runic Magic Circles, blasting toward Silver Sword Heulier and the skinny Spell Caster overwhelmingly.
Only by killing them could they break past the entrance of the hall and leave Blacksand Fort!
“Chaos!”
The abrupt voice sounded, and Kleis, who had been expressionless all these while, spread out his five fingers. Invisible Spatial Strength started pouring out.
“Pom pom pom.”
At the forefront, the bodies of the few Third-level Spell Casters who dashed forward the fastest instantly burst into a bloody mist. Fresh blood splattered all around, splashing onto the entire ground. A strong bloody stench exuded in the entire hall.
Though everyone could see how powerful Kleis was from his battle with the Miracle Child before this, nobody thought that he was actually so haunting. His opponent had not arrived, and there was no obvious sense of any Elemental fluctuations, but the body had instantly exploded into a bloody fog. It was virtually impossible to defend against it.
At the same time, looking at the spell attacks which covered the entire sky, Kleis flipped his hand over and took out a silver-white Runic Magic Disc from his ring.
“Silver Net Runic Magic Circle, go!”
In Kleis’ hands, mysterious runes danced wildly and were engraved into the Runic Magic Disc. Then, traces of silvery light surged skyward. The countless runes from the silver Runic Magic Circle swiftly formed a silvery light veil. To everyone’s shock, the light veil shrouded the entire hall entrance.
While Kleis, Silver Sword Heulier, and the skinny Spell Caster were also protected in the runic light veil.
“Pom pom pom.”
Numerous powerful spells were all bombarded at the runic light veil. This layer of the runic light veil was the Silver Net Runic Magic Circle that Kleis had laid out. It was a purely defensive Runic Magic Circle, and it was also very powerful.
Kleis had studied the fields of potion-brewing, alchemy, and runology in the Dark Magic Region back then. It was in runology, particularly, where Kleis’ accomplishments were considered on-par. Even Wizard Leo, who had a strong command of runology, was full of praise for Kleis’ proficiency in runology.
Kleis was an all-rounded genius. The Runic Magic Circle that he was currently exhibiting was also quite powerful. The spells thrown at him were not too strong but with so many of them concentrated at him at once, it was very frightening too. Yet, his Silver Net Runic Magic Circle was able to withstand all of them. Clearly, it was a very powerful Runic Magic Circle. A Spell Caster was required to have extensive knowledge of runology to be able to initiate the Silver Net Runic Magic Circle.
The numerous Spell Casters’ first wave of attack was over. Silver Sword Heulier and the skinny Spell Caster also rushed out of the Runic Magic Circle. They were geniuses of Ozmu and did not want to merely hide in the Runic Magic Circle.
Silver Sword Heulier drew his long sword. Various elements flashed at the tip of his sword. A single aim of his long sword could instantly erupt a powerful force.
This was the unique way of casting spells for Silver Sword Heulier. He actually utilized the sword in casting spells. Besides, before Silver Sword Heulier became a Spell Caster, he was a relatively powerful Elemental swordsman. The path that he chose was to combine the ways of an Elemental swordsman and a Spell Caster.
This was rather difficult but Silver Sword Heulier had done quite well so far, hence he obtained the name of “Silver Sword.”
Silver Sword Heulier and the skinny Spell Caster were both Fourth-level Spell Casters. At their first strike, they had displayed their great strength. They were almost comparable to Bratu, Bellach, and the others, and were possibly even more powerful than them. They chased after the strength of Seventh-level Spell Casters. After all, they were already Fourth-level Spell Casters.
Instead of launching another attack, Kleis turned his gaze to the crowd.
In the crowd, Merlin, who looked very inconspicuous, felt a slight movement in his heart. He then raised his head and immediately greeted Kleis’ gaze.
Merlin knew that today’s battle with Kleis was inevitable. Unlike the indirect showdown in the Runic Tower earlier, it was different this time. He had to face an opponent who had become a Fourth-level Spell Caster, and had also cultivated a special Pandora Demon Ability, Spatial Blade, the incredibly powerful Kleis!
