Chapter 366: Merlins Sadness (2/2)

Smoke continued to emerge from Merlin as its head abruptly dropped down as if it had died.

“Whoosh!”

But right at this moment, countless streams of light shot forth from its hands once more, forming another image before them.

“Which skill is this?”

Ayrin’s eyes widened.

The skill displayed before them was clearly not Skunk Devil Summoning as the flow of arcane particles in the image before him was completely different from the flow of particles within his body when he used Skunk Devil Summoning.

It looked to be an extremely complicated and difficult skill.

Almost unconsciously, Ayrin began to circulate his arcane particles in accordance with the image.

“Hmmm?”

A look of disbelief flickered through Ayrin’s eyes.

He had failed to invoke the skill with a small number of arcane particles. In fact, he hadn’t even been able to complete the path.

Furthermore, as he had attempted to invoke the skill, it gave him the same sensation as World of Water and Water Rendering Boundary.

“Could it be a domain?”

A strange look flashed through Ayrin’s eyes.

“Boom!”

Powerful arcane energy fluctuations arose around him.

“He’s using Gate of Life!”

“Just how shocking is this skill’s consumption?”

Ayrin’s arcane energy fluctuations caused Rinloran and the others to cry out in shock.

“Domain energy?”

Liszt, Ciaran and the other teachers exchanged looks.

The unique sensation of a domain descended over them.

Countless black and yellow lights criss-crossed in the distance not too far before them, forming a massive domain about forty meters in diameter!

Within the domain, countless bubbles of varying sizes began to form.

A bubble about the size of a fist floated to the top of the domain and burst with a pop.

“This…!”

“Ugh!”

Everyone retched, their hairs standing on end, as they were suddenly assailed by a stench which was hard to describe in words.

It was a stench several times worse than the one produced by the Skunk Devil.

“Ayrin you wretch! Hurry up and stop cut your flow of arcane particles!” Stingham screamed as he bent over and began vomiting.

“What domain is this?”

Assaulted by the stench, Ayrin felt the world before him turning.

Even when the domain finally disappeared, he was still affected and full of the urge to vomit.

“It doesn’t matter what domain this is! Ayrin, I swear. If you dare to use to domain randomly like Skunk Devil Summoning, we are through!” A pale faced Rinloran shouted at the top of his lungs as he ran far away.

“Could it be the legendary Death by Puking domain?” Liszt exclaimed, still pinching his nose.

“Death by Puking domain?” Ayrin looked dizzily at Liszt, “What kind of domain is it?”

“It is a domain which, as implied by its name, can cause people to puke until they die because of how smelly it is. Furthermore, the stench it creates will permeate into one’s body and linger for several days afterwards, assailing everyone around them as well.” Liszt continued pinching his nose as he added, “Because of how hard it is to remove the smell, this domain was used as a method for tracking others and hiding secrets during the Era of the War with Dragons.”

Rinloran, Chris and the others were completely speechless.

Just the stench which had escaped the field was enough to send them into such a state. How terrifying would it be within the domain?

Ayrin’s eyes lit up as he asked excitedly, “Merlin, is this the legendary Death by Puking?”

Merlin’s head quivered, as if it was trying to answer.

But in the next moment, a screech rang out from within its body as another plume of smoke erupted from it.

Merlin lurched. It would have fallen over if not for the massive case it was carrying.

Afterwards, it remained completely motionless.

It was as if it had died.

“It’s over. Ayrin, you’ve broken it,” Stingham cried.

“Merlin!” Ayrin shouted.

Although it had only been a short time since they first encountered the little clockwork puppet, Ayrin had already begun seeing it as a part of the team.

“Normal questions and operations should not have caused such damage to its internal structure.” Liszt couldn’t help but sigh as he observed the clockwork puppet and continued, “It must have suffered severe internal damage during the battle.”

“Merlin!” Ayrin shouted once more.

Because at this moment, the faint sound of whirring emanated from within its body once more.

As if in response to Ayrin’s shout, Merlin began to move once more and slowly staggered to its feet.

Merlin slightly shook its head as if trying to clear its mind.

“Is this internal damage the reason why you cannot remember anything?” Ayrin abruptly asked.

Merlin’s small action had caused him to feel an enormous sense of sadness.

It seemed as if it had forgotten everything, its friends, its comrades, and its skills, because of the injuries it had suffered.
