Chapter 290: A Gift from Those Guarding the Boundary (2/2)

“These youths are the strange members of the powerful Holy Dawn Academy team which entered the semi-finals of the national tournament?” Malcolm and Lucius thought as they looked at each other. Although they had not watched any of the matches, they had long since heard of Ayrin and the others, whose names had rapidly circulated through the Kingdom of Eiche.

“Then this Dark Queen Mermaid?” Lucius asked as his gaze fixated upon the Dark Queen Mermaid beside the three youths. These members of Holy Dawn Academy’s team seemed to be as strange as the rumors stated. Dark Queen Mermaids were known for their aggressiveness and inability to be tamed, yet this one before him was acting rather docilely.

It was just too strange.

Upon hearing Lucius’ question, Ayrin and Rinloran’s expressions turned weird.

“She is my girlfriend,” Stingham loudly replied.

“What? Girlfriend?” Malcolm and Lucius exclaimed as they nearly collapsed in shock.

“Yes. By the way, do you have any extra arcane master robes?” Stingham responded as he excitedly looked at the two of them, especially the tall Lucius. “Your arcane robes seem like they could fit her. Although her long hair is currently covering everything, it is still not good for her to wear so little. And I’m quite certain that she will be more beautiful than most female arcane masters if she puts one on.”

“He’s not joking?” Lucius and Malcolm muttered to each other as they exchanged looks and gulped.

“Misters. Do you have any robes or not?” Stingham impatiently asked as he missed their exchange.

“Here.”

It turned out that Lucius actually had an extra pair of black arcane robes as he took it out and handed it over to Stingham.

Malcolm and Lucius watched in shock as the Dark Queen Mermaid obediently received the black robes and put them on.

The long black robes completely covered the Dark Queen Mermaid’s lower half. If one didn’t already know, then it would be impossible to differentiate this robe wearing Dark Queen Mermaid from a charming female arcane master who practiced dark type arcane skills. She was virtually indistinguishable.

“Then this…” Malcolm couldn’t help but stiffly nod his head towards Lotton.

“He is our friend. He is going to fight Evil Dragon Followers with us,” Ayrin immediately responded.

“This…?” Doubt appeared on Malcolm’s face.

“It’s a secret!” Ayrin added.

“Just why would a Vengeful Spirit appear within Holy Dawn Academy? And one with such a strange aura. It’s not evil, yet it still causes one to shudder. This feeling is as if he could kill me at any time,” Malcom and Lucius thought to themselves as they exchanged looks once more.

“Alright, but for what reason have you guys come here?” Malcolm asked.

“We’ve learned of the existence of Lunar Spring Essence within the Abyss of Evil. So we are going in to retrieve it,” Ayrin honestly replied.

“Lunar Spring Essence?” A trace of surprise flashed through Malcolm’s eyes as he asked, “Is this a mission given to you by the Office of Special Affairs?”

Ayrin shook his head in response, “It’s not. This is something our team wishes to do.”

“Then I’m afraid that we cannot let you enter the Abyss of Evil. We are here to prevent any Evil Dragon Followers from escaping, but at the same time, we are here to prevent anyone without a mission to enter.” Malcolm’s expression turned serious as he looked at the group before him and said, “You guys should know quite clearly just how powerful the Evil Dragon Followers within the Abyss of Evil are. With your strengths…”

“It’s not like this will be the first time we have disregarded the Office of Special Affairs’ orders. Teacher Liszt told us to not fight any four gate Evil Dragon Followers, yet we have already killed several of them,” Stingham unhappily muttered.

“What? You guys have killed several four gate Evil Dragon Followers?” Malcolm and Lucius cried out in astonishment. They couldn’t believe their ears.

“What? You think I’m lying?”

Stingham felt ridiculed as he released his arcane particles. With a loud boom, three giant sandworms and a golden zombie appeared.

Seeing Stingham’s actions, the Dark Queen Mermaid thought they were about to fight as an insidious look emerged on her face and countless rays of black light radiated from her body.

“Ayrin, give them a taste of your ball!” Stingham shouted.

“Ah.”

Ayrin obediently had his golden crystal-like shadow ball float before Malcolm and Lucius.

“This is Lover’s Corpse: Infinite Arcane Armor?”

“What a great draconic aura and energy of death. What arcane skill is this?”

The thoughts and emotions surging through Malcolm and Lucius’ minds right now were indescribable.

The strength of this team before them was completely illogical. It couldn’t be predicted using common sense.

Ayrin’s face was full of fighting intent as he clenched his fists and shouted, “Misters, just let us go in. Although it is dangerous, we really do wish to enter and search for the Lunar Spring Essence!”

“This…” Malcolm and Lucius both hesitated. Although they had both accepted the strength of this team before them, they felt like the Abyss of Evil was still too dangerous. Furthermore, with these youths being so powerful already, they were the absolute jewels of the kingdom; they were the future elites. They could absolutely not be allowed to die at this time.

“Ah. If you two are truly worried, then why don’t you help us out by allowing us to seal some domains?” Ayrin asked as he suddenly remembered the Treasured Book of Sealing in his possession and took it out.

“Seal domains? This… this is Melissa’s Treasured Book of Sealing!”

Malcolm and Lucius were stunned by the appearance of the book between Ayrin’s hands.

Malcolm took a deep breath and regained his composure as he looked at Ayrin in a serious manner and asked, “You truly have the ability to use this Treasured Book of Sealing?”

“Rinloran said that I would be able to as long as I used Holy Gate of Life,” Ayrin replied with some hesitation.

“If you all really must insist on entering… in that case, then let this domain be our gift to you.”

Malcolm nodded.

“Spirit’s Wheel, Domain of the Lost!”

Following his invocation, a strange wheel of blue light containing a powerful domain energy emerged in the sky above Ayrin and the others.

“Holy Gate of Life! Treasured Book of Sealing!”

A loud boom resounded beside Ayrin as the Treasured Book of Sealing flashed with light and absorbed the wheel of blue light and domain energy like a giant monster.
