Chapter 372 - A Mutant At That (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Alan felt his hair stand in shock as well when he looked into the crystal ball. The Crimson Python was at least a dozen meters in length, and when it spread its fleshy wings, it covered the whole sky. On top of its head was a pair of blood-red eyes, glowing icily, while a couple of fangs protruded from the corners of its mouth. As it opened and closed its jaws, thick puffs of smoke and flames spewed out…
How could Alan not know about the infamous Crimson Python? It was one of the strongest magical beasts of the Blackstone Mountains; it was said that an adult Crimson Python was at least level-18, and some mutants could even surpa.s.s level-20 and become a truly Legendary magical beast!
“Oh no, President Felic went alone, what if something happens?” The Crimson Python was at least level-18. No matter how optimistic Alan was, he would never think that President Felic alone could hold off the Crimson Python.
Alan hurriedly told Gavin the news.
“What?” Gavin jumped in shock. Even though he was aware that the young president was highly skilled, he knew that would not be sufficient to deal with the Crimson Python. It was a level-18 magical beast, after all; if it went berserk, it would well be near a Legendary-level.
“Alan, gather everyone now, we need to go and help President Felic! Hurry up, or we might not make it!” Gavin was even more anxious than Alan. Mr Basel had instructed him to follow the young president, and if he allowed something to happen to the young president before his eyes, he could forget about ever returning to Doland.
Moreover, he had had a great time in the Tower of Dusk for the past month. The young president trusted him very much, and entrusted most of the authority in the Guild of Magic to him. Hence, seeing as he had become second in power in the Guild of Magic, he did achieve the ambitions he’d come with on some levels. While his position did not look like much, as he was merely overseeing over 30 mages, Gavin had become very confident in the young president after the inauguration ceremony. The latter was fawned over by so many important figures, so how could he be a common man? Gavin was sure that it was only a matter of time before the young president would lead the Guild of Magic into such prosperity that even he would not dare imagine it!
However, all of this would turn to naught if something happened to President Felic. Perhaps the Supreme Council would send another president over, and perhaps this new president would also lead the Guild of Magic to new heights, but who was to say whether or not the new president would trust Gavin the way President Felic did? Without that trust, none of this success would concern him.
After finis.h.i.+ng his sentence, Gavin took out his magic staff, and was about to utter a Levitation Spell when someone else appeared in the guild hall.
“I’ll go too!”
Perhaps even Lin Li would not guess that the person who said that was Englos’ disciple, the young and beautiful Paladin. Rina had already donned her heavy armor, and the sword in her hand was s.h.i.+ning icily; her pale and delicate face was filled with determination.
“This…” Gavin hesitated. He knew who Ms Rina was. President Felic had personally decreed that she was a guest from the Brilliance Shrine, and he was to ensure her utmost well-being. However, the guest seemed to be on bad terms with President Felic as she rarely left her room in the Tower of Dusk for the past month, and even when she did, she was hostile to President Felic when they met. Gavin was unbearably curious about what had happened between them…
However, no matter how curious he was, she was a guest from the Brilliance Shrine, after all, and if there were any mistakes, President Felic would not be able to answer to them.
“That will not do, Ms Rina, you are a guest here at the Tower of Dusk…”
“I’m a Paladin of the Brilliance Shrine besides being a guest of the Tower of Dusk!” Rina said resolutely. After that, she held her sword and walked out of the Tower of Dusk without waiting for Gavin to continue. A crisp whistle sounded, and a snowy white unicorn flew down from the sky.
“This…” Gavin stared with his mouth agape. While he knew that Ms Rina was a Paladin from the Brilliance Shrine, it was his first time seeing a unicorn. If she rode a unicorn, didn’t it make her the only Judge Paladin of the group of Paladins? Legend had it that they were the Bearer of the Holy Light and wielded a sharp blade, purifying the earth with the pure Fire of Judgement…
As he thought back on the young president he served, Gavin sighed. Why were all the youngsters so powerful nowadays?
Just as he was dumbfounded, another person flew down the stairs, and Gavin saw a chubby figure that made his head throb yet again. d.a.m.n it, how come this guy is here too?
“d.a.m.n it, this rascal, how dares he keep such big news from me!”
“…” The only two people in the Tower of Dusk who dared to curse at President Felic were the Arbitrator Apophis and Gerian. When Gavin thought about the relations.h.i.+p between this fatty and President Felic, he felt his head hurt.
