Chapter 18: Arrival at the Black Isotta School of Sorcery
Translator: John Cui Editor: Zayn
Iggy Dan, leader of the knights, had always been prepared for a battle since he knew that it was
pure physical strength and aggressiveness that had given them the edge and kept them safe
during the past month. But in no way would a knight, even Baron himself - the former leader of
the knights and a legend knight, stand a chance of beating a sorcerer. That’s not even the worst
part, what had bothered him the most was that no matter how strong they would become, they
were destined to be a servant of sorcerers. This was a world where sorcerers rule!
With that in mind, Iggy was fully aware of one thing – the students couldn’t be allowed to unite,
especially the Five Casters, otherwise he and the other knights would be in serious danger.
That was why when Aaron declared the establishment of the Death Sail League, he’d
immediately pulled out the machete and led his men to the deck and threatened the students:
“What a joke! Without my permission, there will never be any league.”
Noticing the wavering look in the face of the students, he exploited the situation and added in a
fiercer manner: “Anyone who dares to join will be executed immediately!”
Beneath his veneer of equanimity and ferocity lied a terrified anxiety that he and his men might
be exterminated if they indeed got aligned.
A few of those who had joined the Death Sail League were standing in the rear of the team, with
their weapons in hands, watching alertly whatever move the knights might make.
Aaron, the Fireball Caster of the Five Casters, who was in the front, shouted back at Iggy: “Kill
five of your men! You do it or I will!”
“You will be trampled and crushed! Trust me.”
“You don’t have a chance. You won’t beat the Five Casters.”
“Well, try us!” Iggy raised his machete to the air to show that he was not afraid.
“Humph! You still think that we are the little kids who were at your mercy a month ago?”
Alastair, with a flash of the brightening sapphire on his finger, murmured a spell, then a golden
sword appeared in the air and shot towards Iggy at Aaron’s instruction. Although Iggy was
swift enough to avoid the deadly attack, he still got scratched in the right arm. Meanwhile, a
white puppet swooshed towards Iggy as fast as light and dug out the knight’s heart.
The 20-inch-tall puppet in pure white that had ended Iggy’s life looked like an innocent girl,
only with a gory human heart thumping in her hands.
Iggy’s body collapsed, producing a boom sound, which clearly scared the white puppet, who fled
away like a girl who was caught stealing candies.
At the same time, Ge Lin and Chris also made a good team in cooperating with Lafite who flung
out the vine for the trapping and the other two were charged with slitting the throats.
Soon the battle ended with Casters’ complete success, with only Chris getting slightly injured
while the knights had encountered a debacle in front of the Five Casters. Their team was totally
destroyed with four being dead, seven seriously wounded, nine injured and one in a coma.
Although Aaron felt it was a little pity that the death toll of the knights had exceeded five but
now everybody had been overjoyed and didn’t seem to care much.
As a result of the victory, all the students could hardly wait to join The Death Sail League, which
had brought the Five Casters great satisfaction.
For the rest of the day, with no more killing, most of them had let their guard down and were
leaning on the rails, gazing into the distance and enjoying the special cool breeze from the sea.
At sunset, the head sailor skillfully anchored the ship at the port. A two-month voyage was
finally over. To the surprise of the apprentice wizards, countless crows poured out of sorcerer
Nilmar’s robe and raised him up into the air.
In his typical coarse voice, the sorcerer declared proudly, “My little fellas, welcome to the Black
Isotta School of Sorcery!”
