The Wizard World - Chapter 255

Chapter 255
Simple but elegant, it was a ring with tiny runes engraved on its surface .
‘Zero, is the result out yet?’ Angele had created the task days ago .
‘Forcefield analysis completed . Modify your mentality wave to activate it . Damage can be increased by invoking the correct incantation . ’
‘What spell can the ring cast?’
‘The Light of Thorns . Release golden lasers while reflecting the incoming attack . The ring can be activated once a day . Cooldown is around 21 hours,’ Zero reported . The description reminded Angele of the spell Red Beard had cast that day .
Angele held the ring in his hand, then observed the runes engraved on it but could not recognize any of them .
‘The Light of Thorns had injured four dark wizards within a second, which means the damage is over 50 degrees . The golden lasers also travel extremely fast in the air . It’ll be hard for the opponent to defend against them . ’ Angele carefully returned the ring into the pouch . ‘
Angele doubted if he could unleash the full damage of the spell without similarly getting injured by it .
If the golden lasers could reach him before the forcefield could automatically create the metal barrier, Angele would have been injured severely .
That was the reason why the dark wizards were burnt into ashes back in the forest . They had the forcefields to create a barrier for them, but the lasers reached them before the barriers were put up . The muscular female wizard successfully created the barrier, but it was too weak .
Angele held the metal pouch in hand and it was absorbed by his skin within seconds . He quickly created some water using the water energy particles and brushed his teeth . Tomorrow would be a big day so he wanted to have some good rest .
*****************************
The next day .
It was early in the morning .
Angele slowly opened his eyes and heard footsteps coming from outside the door .
He quickly got off the bed and wiped his face with a wet towel .
The cold towel was refreshing, and it quickly drove away his sleepiness .
Angele opened the door after putting down the towel .
Two light wizards were waiting for him in the hallway .
It was Perry and Nopel .
The two nodded slightly after seeing Angele stepping out of the door .
"Let’s move . The others already went to the deck . " Perry sent the words through energy particles .
Angele closed the door and walked to the staircase . The Four-wing Night Sparrow was looking for food in the forest down there . It could catch up with the airships easily .
The three arrived at the deck together .
There were already several wizards waiting there quietly .
Baron was standing beside the main mast and he had a blank expression his face . There were two light wizards following him, one male and the other female .
They just stood there and waited . The atmosphere on the deck was heavy .
Coach was already there . He walked to Perry and stood together with them . Perry then eyed the couple but did not say anything .
"I know why you’re here . It’s the last day . Step forward if you want the rune . " Baron wasted no time and raised his right hand to the air, revealing a palm-sized crystal rune .
The S-shaped rune had two sharp edges that were covered by a red glow .
The wizards all stared at the crystal rune in his hand .
*Boom*
It sounded like something exploded .
Angele was surprised . He turned to the direction of where the noise came from right away .
A large fireball exploded on the airship ahead of theirs and the shockwave induced made the whole airship shake .
The light from the red flame illuminated on everyone’s faces .
The fireball quickly vanished into the air . Nothing was ignited for some reason . Countless white magic circles appeared on the surface of that airship . Angele then heard people roaring and the noise made by metal weaponry .
"It seems like the competition has already begun on that one . I think we should start too . " Perry stepped forward and shouted while looking at Baron .
"Hand over the rune, Baron . You got no chance!" He raised his right fist in the air .
Suddenly, the six started invoking incantation before Baron could talk .
The six wizards released rays of red flames at the same time . It was a simple but effective way to initiate an attack .
The fire rays looked like six large petals that gathered together and formed a one-meter-tall fireball . The fireball drew a red arc in the air and flew toward Baron .
The deck was brightened up by the light from the flame .
Strangely, the fireball was surrounded by a distorted wave and it looked like the fireball was sucking all the air around into it, creating a magnetic force field .
Baron pursed his lips . The large fireball was only a meter away from him after about two seconds’ time .
An egg-shaped black magic circle appeared under his feet . Several black cubes flew out of the circle and floated in front of him .
The black cubes spun quickly and released an invisible energy wave .
*CHI*


The fireball was slowed down right away .
Its speed decreased quickly then it almost stopped .
Baron and the two light wizards quickly ran to the side and dodged the strike .
The invisible energy wave disappeared as they moved .
*BOOM*
The noise was deafeningly loud like thunder .
The flames sparked after the explosion . The rain of fire landed on the deck, with the temperature around the airship increasing .
Baron’s face turned pale . He raised his right hand and there was a cross-shaped silver accessory on the waist . The color of the cross changed from silver to black and it dropped to the floor, turning into a pile of ashes .
"Good…good!" He shook his head and drew the egg-shaped black magic circle again as he chanted the incantation .
The two light wizards finally started to prepare for battle . They stepped forward together, their bodies covered in a white glow . After several seconds, they created two white light balls and the balls started revolving around them .
"They’re preparing for a strong spell . We need to move!" Perry shouted .

Angele nodded slightly . He gathered the energy particles around Baron’s body just like what the other five wizards were doing . Everything was going as planned .
The electric, fire, and ice particles were gathered all together . It was the basic application of energy particle control but each of the strikes could deal over 40 degrees damage . Perry also used a special technique to increase the accuracy of their energy strikes .
However, the white light balls created by the two light wizards in Baron’s team were blocking most of the attacks .
*BAM BAM*
The white light balls were shrinking in size as the attack from Perry was getting stronger .
Finally, it disappeared after the sixth energy strike .
The light balls bought Baron enough time to finish the incantation .
He raised his arms .
Countless invisible vortices started spinning around his body .
Several seconds later, the vortices turned into two muscular men with gray skin . Their feet were replaced by some sparking electric pulse .
"Go!" Baron pointed Perry and his crew .
The two muscular men roared and raised their hands, creating countless purple electric pulses over their palms .


"Storm spirits!" Perry’s expression changed as he looked at the dancing electric pulses . He took two steps back and took out a piece of yellow wood piece . The man’s body vanished into the air after he tapped on the surface of the wood piece .
The light wizard couple turned around and ran away .
Angele pointed his right index finger in the air . A silver metal needle emerged out of his skin .
Some green energy particles flashed around his feet and he quickly moved away from the danger zone .
Coach and Nopel was just one second later . They had failed to escape the incoming attack .
*CHI*
They were struck by two purple flashes of lightning .
A red cloud and several rays of white light appeared in front of their bodies, but they were still penetrated by the lightning . They fainted at the same time and fell to the floor, black smoke rising from their burnt skin .
The rest of the electric pulses were absorbed by the silver needle Angele left at his original location .
"Two gone . " Baron looked relaxed .
"Take them off too!" He then pointed at the light wizard couple that was still running .
The storm spirits created some more electric pulses and the static noise echoed in the sky .
Angele took this opportunity to charge toward Baron at full speed . He drew the cursed scimitar and slashed forward .
At the same time, a black dagger that had a silver glint on its blade was flying to Baron’s waist from the left .
The timing of the ambush was perfect, and the two weapons struck Baron together .
*CHI*
A black energy wave was released from Baron’s body . He opened his mouth and tried to yell but failed . The two light wizards right beside him finally understood the situation and tried to create a barrier, but it was already too late .
The scimitar and dagger broke through the energy wave, striking Baron’s body savagely .
*BAM*
Baron was blown away by the impact and his body drew a straight line the air and hit the railings with great force . He spat out some blood and fainted .
"The storm spirits are out of control! Goddamn it!" Someone yelled .
A dark shadow moved to the fainted Baron, trying to snatch the crystal rune from his hand .
*Pa*
Angele stabbed the scimitar into the deck in front of Baron, creating a green light screen .


"F*ck off!"
*BOOM*
The two traded hits and all stepped back .
Angele grabbed the scimitar and created a silver longsword in his other hand . He flipped back and landed on the railings .
The black shadow rolled several times on the floor and forcefully smashed at the entrance of the cabins . The hood dropped and showed the pale face of a young man .
The two stopped for a second and charged toward each other again .
*CLANK*
"Ugh!"
The man grunted and fell to the floor . He stopped moving as blood spurted out of his chest .
Angele turned around and jumped to the two storm spirits on the side .
*CHI CHI*
His body disappeared from the deck for two seconds . In the next moment he reappeared in the center of the deck, he already had the rune crystal in his possession .
*WOO*
The two storm spirits dispersed and slowly vanished into the air .
"It’s over!" Angele raised his right hand and waved it several times .
*BAM*
Seemingly infinite silver strings emerged out of his hands and covered the whole deck .
One second later, the four fainted at the same time and lay on the surface of the deck .
*CHI*
The silver metal strings returned into Angele’s body .
*PA*
Angele heard the noise and turned around .
Reyline was standing on the deck of the airship ahead . There was a large silver bow in his hand, and his long blonde hair was flying about in the wind .
There was a strange spiral rune flashing in the man’s right eye . Reyline slowly pulled the bowstring to a full moon and aimed at Angele . Many blue electric pulses were drawn to the bow .
Angele raised his hands and gathered green energy particles on his palm, creating a large translucent hexagram in the air .
