Chapter 372: Wizard Sect

After a round of conversation, Yang Ling soon understood the misfortune of Ramos and his group.

As it turns out, Ramos belonged to Sana City, the Southern part of Banto Empire. His family had a huge piece of territory outside the city, which controls a mid-sized business association. His ancestor was a ferocious war general who has won many battles for the Banto Empire. He was awarded the title of Hereditary Earl, and the noble family was considered to be well-known locally.

However, disaster suddenly fell upon them in Ramos’ generation!

First, the business association under his uncle was sued for smuggling. Although his father went around to hand out huge sum of crystal coins to save the family from being implicated, his uncle was sentenced to death. Shortly after, his father was robbed by a group of thieves while he was hunting in the territory and died from the attack.

His family was in an intense turmoil after the death of his uncle and father. However, it was just the beginning of the disaster!

Just after his father’s death, people started chasing them for debts with all kinds of IOU, claiming that his father had left behind a huge debt of crystal coins. The creditors were polite at first, but after realising that the Drew family was only left with an orphan and a widow, they became increasingly brutal. They chased after them for debts and robbed them, taking away all their valuables in the castle.

Only then did Ramos’ mother and the others realised that something was wrong. After a series of investigation, they found out that it was the doing of the Rollo Family. The Rollo Family has exhausted all ways and used all sorts of despicable methods in order to occupy the territory of Ramos’ family.

To revive the family, Ramos’ mother and the elders have kept the information sealed and bared all insults in order to survive. They had pinned all their hope on Ramos, the only boy. According to the empire’s rules, once Ramos is of age and passed the beginner swordsman or beginner spellcaster test, he will be able to succeed his fathers’ position as earl. It wouldn’t be too late to think of ways for revenge by then.

However, even their only hope was gone!

When Ramos was twelve, he was identified by the Warrior Association and the Spellcaster Association to be born without the ability to learn any fighting spirit or spells. In other words, Ramos will never be able to succeed his father’s position as earl!

After the spread of the news, the Drew family became divided. Many warriors and servants of the family left quietly to look for another way out. The Rollo family was even more outrageous and victimised them increasingly by instructing gangsters to harass them, even slandering and framing them…

As the situation deteriorated, Ramos’ mother escaped Sana City with the whole family under the protection of the last loyal warriors of the family. However, the Rollo family was unexpectedly persistent and went after them, with the plan to rid them of their roots. If the warriors had not fought with all their might in the bloody war, the family would have met with an unfortunate end.

With no other way out, Ramos’ mother took out her last sum of crystal coins and sailed towards Jaboli with a group of refugees, after hearing that the Magical Beast Territory were accepting refugees in the far away Jaboli Fortress. However, they were met with a group of murderous pirates as they were nearing their destination. If they hadn’t met Yang Ling at the right time, it was afraid that most people would have been buried in the fishes’ stomachs.

After a proper pack up, everyone prepared to set sail and make their way to Jaboli Bay under Yang Ling’s orders. With Yang Ling the lord as their back up, everyone – no matter Ramos or the refugees – could all see a wonderful future. They were filled with gratitude towards Yang Ling, their benefactor.

Yang Ling instructed Ramos to rest for a day after arranging for him and his family to stay at the Lord’s Manor. Thereafter, they will carefully review if he has the potential to be an outstanding Wizard Warrior.

According to the guide on the stele, one would not only get slower in their speed of practise, but also meet many unknown dangers and obstacles when they are near the end of the Wizard Warrior practise. Without strong will and some extent of gift, one might lose their way halfway through the practise.

There were many strong Wizard Warriors in history who entered a trance during practise. They had either imploded to their deaths, or lost their mind and became a maniac who killed anyone in their way!

“Ramos, if you’d wish to learn from me, you might meet countless difficulties or even perish right on the spot. Are you afraid, it’s not too late to regret now!” Yang Ling asked once again after gesturing for Ramos to sit cross-legged like him.

“Master, Ramos is willing to pay all the price required to seek revenge and to achieve the greatest strength!” Ramos nodded his head with determination as he looked across at Yang Ling.

Ever since he knew that he wouldn’t be able to learn fighting spirits or spells, and has completely lost the right to succeed his father’s position as earl, he has suffered disdain looks and was called a useless piece of trash by the people. As his body was weak, he could only watch as the group of refugees destroyed their house. He wasn’t able to protect his mother and his sister, much less to seek revenge!

He had originally thought that he would have to live with those insults for all his life, and wouldn’t ever have the hope for revenge. Unexpectedly, the misfortune had brought them a blessing instead when they met Yang Ling, the legendary lord who was incomparably powerful. Feeling beyond elated, how could they bear to pass up on such an opportunity?

“Excellent. Remember, once you have passed the test, you will be my first disciple. The first generation successors of Wizard Sect!”

Upon seeing how decisive Ramos was, Yang Ling stopped hesitating and began chanting the Wizard Mantra. A huge gush of Wizard Power and Mental Power fully displayed the mysterious ancient Wizard Spell – Enchantment of Time. Sitting across him, Ramos soon began feeling sleepy. He felt his eyelids getting heavier and his consciousness leaving him.

According to the guide on the stele, the wizards were constantly faced with natural and man-made disasters during the ancient times. To ensure the survival of the tribe, they had to focus their efforts on grooming their successors in order to prepare for the unexpected.

Enchantment of Time is a Wizard Spell used for the selection of successors. Through a series of illusions which will prompt the tribe members who were in a deep state of unconsciousness to react with their innate abilities, one will be able to observe their potential and select the most suitable successor.

“No, I’m not useless…”

“Kill, I’m going to kill you!”

…

In his dazed state, Ramos could feel himself going back to the dark days in his past. He saw a group of children chasing behind him and calling him a useless piece of trash, the regretful look on this father’s face at his last moment, and a group of pirates charging towards his helpless mother and sister after killing all of the warriors protecting them.

He fought hard to protect his mother and his sister. Holding onto a sharp dagger, he charged towards the gangsters who came to their house and chased them for debts, towards the merciless masked assassins, and towards all the ferocious and fearless pirates…

One stroke of knife, and a second stroke…

While he fought to kill his enemy, he could feel that there was no longer a complete piece of skin on his body as deep wounds were created with each strike from his enemy. The heart piercing pain and the feeling of breathlessness sent him time and time again to his breaking point. However, he endured with much difficulty over and over, as he thought of his helpless mother and sister!

His will was strong. However, his body was too weak!

Yang Ling shook his head and sighed as Ramos roared loudly like a beast with his bursting blood vessels, while his body trembled in pain.

During the ancient times, the Soul Wizard had with him a large group of ferocious warriors. The born natural Warriors and Wizard Guards moved with high speed, had an immense amount of strength and killed countless people. As long as they were willing, the Soul Wizard could make them a powerful Wizard Warrior anytime.

Perhaps it was the blood of his ancestors that dominated the battle fields flowing in him, or his wish to protect his family that was engraved deep in his soul that resulted in Ramos’ tenacious will. He did not give in even when suffering from an immense amount of pain that felt like a million of ants feeding on him. It was a pity that his body fared too far from a qualified Wizard Warrior.

“I could bring you into the sect, however it’s on you for your own practise. You will have to depend on yourself for your destiny ahead!”

As long as he has a strong will, there will definitely be hope for him to become a top Wizard Warrior. Although Ramos was born with a disadvantage in his body, Yang Ling would have a few ways to strengthen his body within a short period of time if he were to put in more effort.

After deliberating for a moment, he waved his hand to dissipate the ‘Enchantment of Time’ Wizard Spell. He created a Spirit Mantra to imprint the Wizard Warrior’s practise mantra deep in Ramos’ soul, and inserted some Wizard Power in him to aid him on starting his practise journey quickly. He left after ordering Braska, the Twin-headed Ogre, to lead a group of Ogres outside for protection and forbade anyone from disturbing Ramos’ practise.

More than half a month’s time will be over in a flash!

On the day that Ramos regained consciousness, Yang Ling gathered Goode, Casey, Ashnamov and the other core members of the Magical Beast Territory to announce the official establishment of Wizard Sect.

Ramos had a copper cauldron embroidered on his top, which symbolised a new Wizard Warrior of the sect. Alice had a black spider embroidery as the leader of the powerful Poison Wizard sector. The Corpse Wizard King had a skull embroidered on his top to symbolize a Spell Protection Elder, while Yang Ling wore a robe with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidery and took on the role of the first Sect Leader.

Master Aaron and the Gnome Leader were appointed as the Weapon Refinement Elders and had a mini wizard pagoda embroidery. They were responsible for refining powerful weapons and equipment for the members of the Wizard Sect, and led more than a hundred experienced Master Alchemists.

Goode was appointed as the Managing Elder and had a silver-winged Pegasus embroidered on his top to represent his frequent travels to coordinate the foreign matters of Wizard Sect. He will be responsible for all the crystal coins and materials required for their plans, and also the initial observation and analysis of information.

Casey, Ashnamov and the other warriors joined the Wizard Warriors to practice the powerful Body Honing Wizard Mantra and were responsible for the territory’s safety. While Flying Dragon King Seylius, Dark Dragon King, Purple Rat Little Ice, Thousand-faced Mink and Immet would be the five Wizard Guards of Yang Ling, and practice the expansive ancient wizard spells.

Just like that, the Wizard Sect that would terrify the whole Tailun Continent was born on a rainy spring night. Except for Yang Ling’s close confidants and the core members of the Magical Beast Territory, no one else knew of this top secret information!

After a series of careful consideration, Yang Ling was finally determine to impart the different kinds of wizard spells and build his own true power. With the mysterious and expansive wizard spells, the talented and able magical beasts, and his loyal followers, he was filled with anticipation for the future!
