Chapter 279: Idea

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the beach, a foul stench of burnt flesh emanated in the air. When the Dark-elements dissipated, what unfolded in front of everyone was an atrocious, hell-like scene.

On the open beach laid charred-black torn limbs. The sea beasts which invaded like torrents earlier were already nowhere to be seen.

Nevertheless, the carcasses which were left on the beach only belonged to those especially giant-sized sea beasts. Slightly weaker sea beasts had been disintegrated into ashes by Merlin’s Fiery Collapse.

“Powerful, that’s really powerful. Gold-lined robe holders are powerful like this, huh?”

The plump Wizard stared at the scene before him in awe. Back then, he even asked for a “friendly battle” with Merlin. Now, it seemed he was lucky that Merlin chose not to accept his request.

Any Fort Udon Wizard would know of the strength of individuals with gold-lined robes, but they did not imagine them to be so powerful. Those sea beasts earlier may not match the powers of a Fifth-level Spell Caster, but still, they came in large numbers up to several hundreds of them.

Now, these overwhelming amount of sea beasts which almost tipped the Violet Flame Island to extinction had shockingly succumbed to Merlin’s own hands. There and then, the Spell Casters had an actual feeling of how powerful a “gold-lined robe” was. Spell Casters who could own a gold-lined robe possessed unimaginably powerful strength.

Merlin gently shook his head instead, smiling at Wizard Bayton as he said, “Shame, the carcasses of all these sea beasts are incomplete. Now, we’re not able to use the sea beast carcasses to trade for elemental crystal stones.”

“It’s already a great fortune that we get to survive this, what more can we ask for? Wizard Merlin, this time, we really owe you our gratitude. If it wasn’t for you, I’m sure that we would’ve all perished… It’s just, the other Spell Casters on the Violet Flame Island are dead…”

Wizard Bayton looked at the surviving ten plus Spell Casters whose expressions were rather gloomy. There was a total of a hundred or more Spell Casters on the entire Violet Flame Island. However, after the first wave of sea beast attack, a great half of them had perished.

After a moment’s silence, the look on Wizard Bayton’s face quickly recovered. Soon after, he told the remaining ten plus Spell Casters, “Let’s clean up the island first.”

Currently, it was a horrible mess on the Violet Flame Island. They would first need to provide the Spell Casters who were sacrificed a proper burial. Thus, under Wizard Bayton’s lead, everyone started cleaning up swiftly.

“Wizard Bosetta, that’s the Violet Flame Island upfront.”

High up in the skies, a group of Spell Casters harnessed Wind-type spells, flying toward the Violet Flame Island hastily.

Wizard Bosetta’s eyes froze into a narrow gaze, but soon after, there was an indescribable expression in his eyes. He muttered, “Why isn’t there any movement on the Violet Flame Island? Didn’t Wizard Bayton return a message saying that there was a huge invasion of sea beasts? How can it be so quiet?

Indeed, it was too quiet on the Violet Flame Island at this point in time. Gazing from afar, the place looked rather peaceful, not as though it was under a large scale attack from the sea beasts’.

“Could it be that all the Spell Casters on the Violet Flame Island are dead?”

This possibility crossed many of the Spell Casters’ minds at the same time. For that reason, their expressions looked rather downcast.

Wizard Bosetta became more nervous, and the Wind elements on his body became more intense too. His speed increased as he hovered out of the group, taking an extra initiative to fly toward the Violet Flame Island.

“Swoosh!”

Wizard Bosetta landed on the beach. He saw that there were remnants of torn limbs on the beach and burn traces on the surrounding trees.

A thick bloody stench was still emaciating in the air, which all pointed to a recent, intense battle on this stretch of beach.

“No, Bayton, you can’t be dead!”

Wizard Bosetta’s facial expressions were somber. He looked at all four directions around him, as though imagining Wizard Bayton’s figure, but the surroundings were silent with only the occasional wind howls.

“Whoosh!”

After a moment, the other Spell Casters had landed in succession too. They also saw the terrible mess on the beach. One of the Wizards shook his head helplessly, advising Wizard Bosetta, “Wizard Bosetta, it seems that every Spell Caster on the Violet Flame Island had perished. Even their dead bodies were consumed by the sea beasts.”

Upon witnessing the scene, any Spell Caster would have had the same kind of thought. On the beach, there were only a bunch sea beast carcasses, with not a single Spell Caster corpse. This alone made it difficult to explain the situation as those wicked sea beasts would devour any Spell Casters’ corpse given the chance.

“Die, those sea beasts will all have to die!”

Intense Fire-elemental waves surged ragingly on Wizard Bosetta’s body. The surrounding temperature seemed to hike up in an instant, his body emitting a strong vengeful aura.

“Let’s move, those sea beasts couldn’t have gone far. I want to kill them all, and avenge Bayton!”

Just when Wizard Bosetta was about to take flight toward the vast sea, a few figures emerged from his back.

“Who?”

These Spell Casters were at least Fourth-level Spell Casters, so their senses were rather sharp. When they detected people around them, their Mind Powers immediately locked at the few Spell Casters behind them.

“Bosetta!”

“Bayton, you’re not dead?”

When Wizard Bayton and Wizard Bosetta saw each other, joy washed over their faces. Both of them were blood brothers and had joined Fort Udon at the same time, so their brotherhood was a deeply-bonded one.

However, Wizard Bosetta’s talents were much better than Wizard Bayton’s, so he was already a Fifth-level Spell Caster while Wizard Bayton was still a Fourth-level Spell Caster.

Seeing that Wizard Bayton was not dead, Wizard Bosetta was delighted. He smiled as he asked, “Bayton, the message that you sent us earlier informing that there were huge quantities of sea beasts attacking the Violet Flame Island is the reason why I led this group of people and rushed here. I didn’t expect that you’ve taken care of the sea beasts.”

Wizard Bosetta’s sights turned to the massive amount of sea beast carcasses on the beach, and could not help but feel puzzled too. The few sea beast carcasses that he saw were strong sea beasts that were capable of taking on a Fourth-level Spell Caster.

Wizard Bayton shook his head instead. “These sea beasts were not handled by us. In fact, the sea beasts that attacked the Violet Flame Island today had never-seen-before strengths, and overwhelming numbers – almost several hundreds of them, all strong sea beasts. Among them were several Fourth-level sea beasts, and there was even a peak Fourth-level sea beast like the six-eyed venomous beast. With the defensive strength on the Violet Flame Island, how can we be capable of taking down such enormous sea beasts?”

“Oh? Besides you guys, who else is on the island?”

Wizard Bosetta was well aware of the defensive strength on the Violet Flame Island. Hearing that there were several hundred strong sea beasts attacking the Violet Flame Island, he knew that with the Violet Flame Island’s defense alone, it was difficult to hold off those sea beasts.

“It’s Wizard Merlin!”

Wizard Bayton gave a slight smile as he introduced Wizard Bosetta to Merlin, “Wizard Merlin, this is my elder brother, Middle gray-robed Wizard Bosetta!”

“Wizard Bosetta!”

Merlin bowed gently while Wizard Bosetta’s eyes narrowed. Soon after, he noticed the gold-lined robe on Merlin, and his expressions changed slightly, which became serious.

“Wizard Merlin, these sea beasts were all killed by you?”

Even though he knew that gold-lined robe holders were very powerful, Wizard Bosetta was still skeptical. He cannot imagine that someone who was not a Fifth-level Spell Caster alone could possibly be capable of killing off so many sea beasts.

In addition, even for a Fifth-level Spell Caster, it would still be arduous to defend against so many sea beasts. At least Bosetta admitted that he definitely could not do it himself.

Merlin did not give an answer, and it was Wizard Bayton who replied instead, “Bosetta, Wizard Merlin is a Spell Caster who’s proficient in Darkness-type spells!”

“Darkness-type spells!”

Wizard Bosetta was immediately hit with a realization. Nonetheless, Darkness-type spells were usually very difficult. Roaming Wizards or Wizard clans would normally not construct Darkness-type spells.

However, once the construction was successful, Darkness-type spells would indeed be a nightmarish spell for those who had weak Mind Powers. For Darkness-type spells, a huge number would basically mean nothing at all.

Yet, Wizard Bosetta still exclaimed, “Gold-lined robes… As I remember, the gold-lined robe for Novice gray-robed Spell Casters has been vacant for about ten years, and there was never any Novice gray-robed Wizard who was granted the gold-lined robe. Wizard Merlin must’ve just joined Fort Udon. Tsk tsk, a newcomer to Fort Udon can also be granted the gold-lined robe, seems that it’s well deserved!”

Wizard Bosetta may be a Fifth-level Spell Caster but he was still very impressed and respectful toward gold-lined robe holders.

“Alright, Bayton, since there are no longer any issues on the Violet Flame Island, I shall return to await further orders.”

This time, Wizard Bosetta had led so many gray-robed Wizards forth to this place with the main purpose of providing backup to the Violet Flame Island. Now that there are no more problems on the Violet Flame Island, he would naturally return to report to the higher-ups in Fort Udon.

“Hold up.”

Wizard Bayton’s expressions looked serious as he held Wizard Bosetta back and spoke in a low tone, “Bosetta, when you go back this time, you must clarify and emphasize to the higher-ups in Fort Udon about the severity of the situation. The sea beast invasion this time is definitely not a one-time occurrence. With the mere defenses on the Violet Flame Island currently, there’s no way we can hold them off. They need to send at least Middle gray-robed Wizards here!”

“Middle gray-robed Wizards?”

Bosetta’s expression looked solemn too. He had understood from Wizard Bayton’s descriptions how terrifying the sea beast attack earlier was. Without Fifth-level Spell Casters, they could not possibly hold them off.

At recent times, the sea beast attacks experienced by the entire Kurdmansla Islands were becoming more and more frequent. Defenses must be reinforced, otherwise, there could be a second or a third-time attack of sea beasts.

“Alright, when I’m back this time, I’ll explain to the higher-ups in Fort Udon in detail about the situation. Bayton, if it can’t be helped, you should follow me back to the main island. There’s not much danger there…”

Before he could finish talking, Bayton started shaking his head in disapproval, letting out a long sigh. “Bosetta, when I came to the Violet Flame Island at the start, I had the intention of striving in such a harsh environment to increase my potential so that I could advance into a Fifth-level Spell Caster. I’ll not leave the Violet Flame Island as long as I haven’t become a Fifth-level Spell Caster.”

Bosetta was well aware of Wizard Bayton’s demeanor, so he could only respond with a nod. Soon after, he led the group of people off the island.

At that moment, Merlin also came forth and said to Wizard Bayton, “I’m going to leave too. Initially, I intended to scavenge Lava Soil from the extinct volcanoes on the Violet Flame Island, but it seems now that things are not so easy anymore.”

“Lava Soil? Wizard Merlin, there’s definitely no Lava Soil on the Violet Flame Island. However, if you really need Lava Soil, I do have an idea!”

Wizard Bayton looked at Merlin calmly, a mysterious smile etched on the edge of his lips.
