Chapter 34 (2/2)

The young wizard brandished his wooden wand, and although it was just a common wand, it tore the air apart.

Ryan subconsciously leaned to one side and was hit right on his shoulder by Palin’s wand. He was pushed away by the extreme power and thrown back against the stonewall.

Crack!

Ryan’s bones were broken. Due to the extreme pain, he could not even make a sound and fainted.

With only one strike, Palin managed to knock Ryan unconscious. He did not show his happiness or amazement, but rather he hurriedly dashed toward the wizard.

He knew that his spells could not possibly defeat the wizard, so he did not chant any spells but directly smashed the wizard with the wooden wand.

The wooden wand hit the wizard heavily, and activated the Protection spell that he had fixed on himself. The gray white light instantly covered the wizard’s whole body and became similar to a rock. At the same time, the wizard’s body began to fade, as if the air surrounding him had been twisted.

Thump.

The wooden wand hit the stonewall and broke the rock, and bounced back and fell into the corner.

Palin was not surprised by this, an experienced wizard would definitely practice as many protection spells as possible on himself. For example, a few advanced wizards he knew would even practiced a transportation spell on themselves, so they could be transported and run away if they were severely attacked.

“Safety first” was the life motto of many wizards, since managing to run away meant there was still a tomorrow for them. One can’t do anything if one is dead.

So there was a saying in this world: the creature that was most difficult to kill was neither the powerful huge dragon nor the immortal Davy Jones, but an advanced wizard with a well functioning brain.

The wooden wand Palin threw had very powerful momentum, but he did not expect it to cause any harm to the wizard from the very beginning.

What he had hoped was that the wooden wand would just cause some trouble for the wizard.

Although the momentum was mostly offset by the protection spell, the tiny bit of momentum that was left made the wizard feel like he had been hit by an ox. Now he could not stand steadily and staggered a few steps.

Right at this moment, Palin rushed and stopped in front of him like a tiger running downhill. Palin reached toward to the wizard, and cold air began to rise from his right hand.

The wizard’s figure, which was as vague as the water wave, was penetrated by Palin’s hand covered with the cold air. There was the sound of breaking glass, and the wizard’s vague figure became clear again. Palin adjusted the direction of his right hand and crushed the gray white stone skin and grasped the wizard’s neck.

The thick cold air spread to the wizard’s body from Palin’s hand. Since the wizard had lost the protection of his spells, he could not fight back anymore and fainted due to the extreme cold. Palin then lifted him as if he was carrying baggage.

The short but intense fight had finally come to an end. From the time when the wizard practiced his spells with full strength to the time when the wizard and Ryan were defeated, only a few seconds had passed.

Palin threw the fainted wizard onto the ground and dispersed the cold magic power in his hand.

Just now, I did not chant any incantation or practice any spell, but I managed to practice a powerful magic that only a wizard of the middle rank could practice. My right hand even destroyed two protection spells, and the rest of the energy could still make the wizard faint due to the extreme cold. I could never practice such a powerful spell when I have only been learning to practice spells for less than two years.

He thought for a while, and tried to talk with Sui Xiong via telepathy, “Your Majesty, are you the one who gave me the power?”

After a few seconds, a weak sound came from a long distance.

“Yes… Palin, you won? Good… I am looking for Gerrard. I will leave you take care of this…”

Palin lowered his head and showed his respect to the Great God. He did not raise his head up to look around until the sound had faded away.

His Majesty went to save Gerrard who is trapped in the plane of shadow, and he asked me to take care of things here. I have to try my best so I do not let him down!

“Okay… Let me first deal with the wizard, my predecessor. Compared to a bandit who believes in the God of Conspiracy, I think he will be more willing to talk with me who is walking the path of knowledge as he is.”

The cave was suddenly filled with the cold air. Then a swirling blue light appeared in the air accompanied by a cracking sound. There were many tiny electric lights moving in the air like agile swimming fish.

A few seconds later, the blue light got bigger and turned into a halo. Then Gerrard, who was covered with dust, came out in quandary while brandishing his ax that was tainted with black blood. He was coughing severely, but after a long while, he finally pulled himself back together.

“It seems that your journey in the plane of shadow was not that pleasant.” Palin had been waiting for him for a long time.

“Eh-hem…yes, it sucked!” Gerrard smiled bitterly. “I want to apologize for my behaviour in the battle. My ability has degenerated since these recent years have been so comfortable, and I should not have made those mistakes.”

“I am so happy you two are still fine,” Sui Xiong’s laugh echoed through the air. “As for how to deal with Ryan and the wizard, I will just leave that to you. I need to have a rest.”

Then the sound faded away.

In the sky, there was a huge floating jellyfish using its tentacles to grab the rock and fix itself to the peak of a mountain. The energetic magic power that was flowing inside his body gradually becoming milder.

This time, Sui Xiong was really exhausted.
