Chapter 121: Shock and Disappointment

“Capace? Catherine? Why are you here?”

After all the Dark Vampire Bats in the forest had been eliminated, Wizard Danbe also noticed Capace and Catherine.

“Wizard Danbe, please save Father and Wizard Pario quickly.”

Catherine was obviously acquainted with Wizard Danbe, so she briefly explained everything to him.

Wizard Danbe’s expression changed, then turned to Holmes and said, “Wizard Holmes, what do you think?”

Holmes also understood the whole situation now. After giving it some thoughts, he knew they had to fully grasp the situation of these Dark Vampire Bats to complete the mission.

Thus, Wizard Holmes squinted his eyes and glanced at Catherine and Capace. Then, he lowered his voice and said, “Bring us to the Dark Vampire Bats’ nest.”

Catherine and Capace were naturally happy to hear that, so they quickly answered, “Their nest is not far from here. Let’s go quickly.”

After saying that, the two brought Merlin hurriedly into the forest.

Not long after, the team arrived at an empty land.

Some bloody bodies were lying on the ground. They were the Elemental Swordsmen, Fourth-level and above, Donglin City had sent but most of them had died here. The thick bloody stench made them sick.

Upon seeing so many corpses, their expression turned dark. These people were all intermediate Elemental Swordsmen who could threaten Spell Caster but most of them had lost their lives here. This directly indicated that the Dark Vampire Bats here were difficult to deal with.

“Two caves?”

Holmes frowned. As he looked at the caves, he seemed a little hesitant.

“Screech!”

Right at this time, a sharp noise echoed. They could faintly make out the figure of the Dark Vampire Bats whose bodies gleamed a faint red from the dark caves.

The Dark Vampire Bats flew out of the caves in flocks, covering the sky. Looking from afar, they were as if a cluster of red clouds. As a rough estimate, there were at least a thousand of them. It was no wonder even thirty Fourth-level Ice Swordsmen led by Wizard Pario would be in danger.

“Dark Mist!”

Merlin’s reaction was the quickest. Almost when the Dark Vampire Bats had flown out of the caves, he had already cast Dark Mist.

Instantly, a cluster of mist appeared out of thin air, covering an area of dozen meters. It hovered over the two dark caves. However, Dark Mist had no effect at all. As if they were not affected at all, the Dark Vampire Bats continued dashing toward Merlin and the team in a frenzy.

“The Dark Vampire Bats are Darkness-type Elemental Monster. Your Dark Mist won’t have much effect on them. Everyone, give your all. Without eliminating these Dark Vampire Bats, we won’t be able to enter the caves.”

Wizard Holmes’ voice rang. At this time, his robe had completely set off its defensive power with mysterious runes covering his body. The Dark Vampire Bats which crashed into Holmes crazily were bounced off by the mysterious runes.

“Confinement Wind!”

Wizard Holmes waved his hands. A countless gust of violent wind immediately appeared and confined the Dark Vampire Bats.

“Explosive Ice!”

Holmes’ spells were mostly offensive-type. Even his Ice-type spell had a strong attack power that could injure his enemy in a small area.

Holmes cast his spells continuously. Obviously, he did not dare to keep something up his sleeve and had given his all. He had already cast all his four spells – Ground Dragon Spike, Explosive Ice, Confinement Wind, and Scorching Flame. Under such strong offensive-type spells, the Dark Vampire Bats had no way of getting near to Holmes and Ryllis.

This also directly indicated the powerful ability of Holmes as the genius Spell Caster in the Dark Magic Region!

Holmes had the ability to protect Ryllis who was behind him. However, at Merlin’s side, both Laurinka and Wizard Danbe were not that strong, so they could only protect themselves. They were unable to protect Capace and Catherine

Under the attack of thousands of crazy Dark Vampire Bats, Capace and Catherine were in an extremely dangerous predicament.

Merlin frowned. At this time, he could no longer hide his true ability.

“Sigh...”

Merlin let out a long breath. Following that, he raised his head and his powerful Mind Power rapidly stimulated the Spell Model in his Awareness.

“Thunderbolt Net!”

Since Dark Mist did not have much effect on these Dark Vampire Bats, Merlin could only cast the Thunderbolt Net he had created not long ago.

As soon as Merlin finished his words, flashes of thunder began to light up and rapidly connected into one piece just like a huge net. The net of electric rays hovered over most of the Dark Vampire Bats.

The thunderbolts rumbled, and its powerful force instantaneously blasted toward the Dark Vampire Bats in the net. Thunderbolt Net was originally an offensive-type spell which covered a large area. Moreover, it had a paralyzing effect. Amongst many level-zero spells, it could definitely be counted as one of the strong ones. If this was not the case, it would not require five contribution points to be exchanged in the Resource Tower.

Although the electric force of Thunderbolt Net might still be unable to injure these troublesome Dark Vampire Bats, the paralyzing effect could temporarily halt their movement.

“Swoosh!”

A strong fluctuation of Wind Element flashed on Merlin’s body. He had cast Gale, so everyone only saw Merlin’s figure flashing into the flock of Dark Vampire Bats.

“Kachak, kachak.”

Freezing and destruction occurred repeatedly. Wherever Merlin had been, the place was covered in ice. These paralyzed the Dark Vampire Bats where they had no chance of defending themselves at all. After Merlin had frozen them, they fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

“Fireball, Frostl, Gale, Dark Mist, and Thunderbolt Net. Merlin is actually a Five-Elemental Spell Caster...”

Upon seeing Merlin’s figure weaving in and out among the Dark Vampire Bats and killing those troublesome bats without putting much effort, everyone was stunned.

Even the usually prideful Wizard Holmes could not hide the shock in his eyes after watching Merlin casting five spells.

Five-Elemental Wizard was extremely small in number and rare even amongst large Spell Casters organization. Holmes who had constructed Four-Elemental spell knew very well how much courage and determination those Spell Casters who constructed Five-Elemental spell needed to have.

The slightly chubby Wizard Ryllis wore a confused look. She could recall that Merlin did not even know what contribution point was when he first came to the Dark Magic Region half a year ago. Now, he had become a Five-Elemental Wizard. Such a change was truly beyond belief.

“He’s either a super genius or a madman who has given up on himself.”

Holmes gazed at Merlin with a complicated look. In his view, Spell Casters who could construct Five-Elemental spells were usually determined and equipped with excellent talent. However, Merlin was in Wizard Leo’s tower. He was obviously not thought highly of by the Dark Magic Region and belonged to the not-so-talented group.

People like him had most possibly lost hope of becoming a First-level spell Caster, so he constructed level-zero spell without caring about anything else to increase his strength.

“Five-Elemental Spell Caster... Has he truly given up?”

Laurinka had the same thought as Holmes. She came from a Spell Caster family, so she naturally understood the meaning behind constructing five level-zero spells. That was a person who had the absolute confidence to become a strong Spell Caster of First-level, Second-level, Third-level or even Fourth-level. He must also have had a strong determination to be above his own peer.

Such a person was without a doubt a super genius rarely seen in a hundred years!

However, Laurinka also knew about Merlin’s ability. As a roaming Wizard, the three Spell Models he had constructed might already be unstable. At this time, he did not stabilize the Spell Models he had constructed before. Instead, he constructed more spells. Such a move, in Laurinka’s view, had undoubtedly shown that Merlin had completely given up the chance of becoming a First-level spell Caster.

Laurinka’s eyes were overflowing with disappointment.
