Chapter 534: The Grand Alliance Wizards I
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On a sprawling field, there were a group of young men and women dressed in Spell Caster attire. About a dozen of them were currently surrounded by the Dora Demon Tribe.
The Dora Demons were large in number and possessed relatively strong abilities. Each Dora Demon possessed powerful abilities that were at least the Fourth-level and above. The strongest Dora Demon was dark red, and there was a long, sharp horn protruding from his head. He was the Greater Demon among the Dora Demon Tribe. Judging by the length of his single horn, this Greater Demon’s ability would be at least comparable to a peak Ninth-level Spell Caster.
At this moment, this Greater Demon was commanding the powerful Dora Demon Tribe to attack the young Spell Casters in the middle. All the Dora Demons appeared to be almost demented with a blood-red glint in their eyes.
“Dora Warriors, go, rip these abominable Spell Casters to shreds. They’re the ones who had caused us to be homeless. They’re the ones who had caused us to be trapped in this huge bullpen forever. Go on, release your wrath, and tear them into shreds…”
The completely dark-red Dora Demon with a golden horn on his head shouted provokingly. Instantly, the tightly packed Dora Demons in the surroundings became even more demented. It seemed that they could not be killed, looking at their immensely durable bodies and incredible speeds.
Fortunately, the dozen or so young Spell Casters also had their own arsenal of techniques. Basically, they consisted of Sixth- to Seventh-level Spell Casters, so they would be able to withstand for a moment at least.
However, it would be just for a moment. The number of Dora Demons was truly too many. Battling against the continuous attack made them extremely exhausted. If their Magic Power ran out or their Runic Magic Circle was broken, then their situation would turn precarious.
Additionally, the most terrifying Greater Demon had yet to attack. Once he had attacked, even all of them combined would not be a strong enough opponent against the Greater Demon.
“Damn it, how is it that we encountered a Greater Demon? Isn’t this the outer realm of Bloodshed Universe? If we continue this way, sooner or later we would be torn into shreds by these demented Dora Demons.”
“The Galaxy Grand Alliance’s competition is jointly organized by the various Great Legends from tens of dimensions once every hundred years in order to select the most outstanding young Wizard in the Grand Alliance. We’ve undergone many selection rounds and finally entered the final round. For this reason, we’re sent into the Bloodshed Universe to complete our last challenge. Who would have thought that we would be so unlucky? Upon entering the Bloodshed Universe, we’ve immediately encountered this bloodthirsty Greater Demon. Since it hasn’t been ten days, we’re unable to leave.”
“Even more despicable is that Hugo. He’s completely indifferent and doesn’t intend to help us at all!”
“Damn that Hugo. Doesn’t he know that after we die, he’d have to face this group of Dora Demons by himself?”
Regardless of the curses strewn by this group of young Wizards, another young Spell Caster dressed in sky-blue Wizard robes nearby was staring at this group of Dora Demons with indifference.
Although the dozen or so young Spell Casters were in grave danger, he had no intention of extending a helping hand. Instead, he was silently staring at the Greater Demon behind the demented Dora Demons.
According to the Galaxy Grand Alliance’s competition rules, killing a Greater Demon was almost equivalent to killing a thousand ordinary Dora Demons. If Hugo wanted to perform well in this Grand Alliance’s competition and fight for first place, then he would have to hunt and kill that Greater Demon.
However, the Greater Demon was also not an easy target that could be easily killed. Hugo was merely a Five-Elemental Spell Caster, so killing a Greater Demon would be quite difficult. Therefore, he would have to preserve his energy until there was an opportunity for him to make his killing shot.
As for the other young Wizards in the same Grand Alliance’s competition as him, Wizard Hugo was completely uncaring. Whether they were dead or alive did not affect him. His only concern was whether he would be able to shine in this competition and rank at the top ten.
“Even the top ten isn’t reassuring enough. Only the first-place winner would be recommended by the Great Legend into Arcane City. As for the remaining nine Spell Casters, they’ll only be recommended by the Grand Alliance to Arcane City. It’ll then be up to Arcane City whether to invite these Spell Casters in. Therefore, the safest way to enter Arcane City is still to emerge first place!”
Hugo’s heart burned with fervor. He wanted to emerge at first place in order to prove to the Grand Alliance that he was the real number one prodigy among the Alliance. Only he deserved to enter Arcane City.
Hugo was waiting patiently. He did not know why the Greater Demon had not issued any commands to attack him. Perhaps, the Greater Demon was slightly cautious of him. That would be even better because then, Hugo was more confident that once he found a suitable opportunity, he would be able to kill this Greater Demon.
The Greater Demon in a distance had of course, discovered Hugo. This young-looking Spell Caster gave off a very threatening aura, so his abilities must be quite strong.
Nevertheless, the Greater Demon was not afraid. The more talented the Spell Caster was, the higher the sense of accomplishment he would feel upon killing him. The entire Dora Demon Tribe held high esteem of anyone who managed to kill a powerful Spell Caster, so he would be respected by all the Dora Demons.
Before that, however, the Greater Demon wanted to kill most of the other Spell Casters first. Thereafter, he would direct all his strength to attack this young but threatening Spell Caster. Although the Greater Demon did not understand why Hugo did not step forward to rescue the others, he was obviously delighted with Hugo’s indifference.
“Foolish Spell Casters. You’re atrocious, selfish, and pathetic. I really don’t know how you managed to step out of your dimension and entered the Void Zone as well as conquered hundreds and thousands of dimensions?”
Seeing the indifference displayed by Hugo, he snickered in his heart. He focused his attention on the large number of young Spell Casters. The reason he had not attacked them was to guard against Hugo.
Nonetheless, even without his interference, the resistance of this group of Spell Casters was already beginning to shake under the continuous attack from hundreds and thousands of Dora Demons. Not too much longer, they would be ripped into shreds by countless Dora Demons.
Numerous golden glowing runes began to shift about, their lights flashing as if they would soon be destroyed.
“We’re done for. The Runic Magic Circle can’t hold up anymore.”
“We’re all going to die here… Damn that Hugo. If we somehow survive this, we must spread the word about his despicable character all over the entire Galaxy Grand Alliance. I didn’t expect that he would be so heartless.”
“We won’t be able to hold on any longer. How unfortunate, we’ve waded through so many hardships, and multiple layers of competition until we reached the final round that will be observed by the Grand Alliance, but we’re going to die at the hands of a foreign tribe…”
Among this group of Spell Casters, there were anger, frustration, and various manifestations. All these emotions reflected the turmoil inside their hearts. Following the destruction of the Runic Magic Circle, they were in a dire situation.
“Crash.”
Another Dora Demon slammed viciously onto the Runic Magic Circle. The next instant, the Runic Magic Circle was smashed into smithereens like a piece of fragile glass.
“Dora Warriors, their Runic Magic Circle has collapsed. Go on. Rip all these abominable Spell Casters into shreds…”
A smile appeared on the Greater Demon’s face as he ordered the countless Dora Demons to charge dementedly at the dozen Spell Casters.
“Escape, everyone, wield your escape techniques. Even if only one can escape, you’ll be the lucky one…”
Once the Runic Magic Circle had collapsed, the Spell Casters could no longer resist the attacks. The leader of the Spell Casters asked everyone to escape but judging by the dense formation of Dora Demon enclosing them, escaping was simply impossible!
“Swish swish.”
Suddenly, from a distance away, two rays of light flew toward them at lightning speed.
From within the light, two figures emerged, dressed in Spell Caster attire. Immediately, a look of joy appeared on the faces of the Spell Casters who were trapped, and facing imminent death.
“Sir Wizards, please save us. We’re Spell Casters from the Galaxy Grand Alliance…”
These Spell Casters immediately asked for help from the two strangers. Although they did not know whether their pleas would be useful, they were desperate, and this was their last remaining hope.
“The Galaxy Grand Alliance? Sounds like a huge faction from far away.”
The more stoic-looking, middle-aged man frowned as he spoke. Just as he was about to step forward, the younger black-robed Wizard beside him stretched out a hand to stop him.
The young Wizard smiled slightly. “Wizard Midnight, you’ve just killed a Greater Demon. This time, you should let me try. After all, I’ve been in the Bloodshed Universe for three days and gained a sufficient understanding of these Dora Demons.”
These two Wizards were coincidentally Midnight and Merlin who had been wandering around the Bloodshed Universe. The two of them did not have a clear destination or direction, and simply wandered around aimlessly. Whenever they encountered any Dora Demons, the ruthless bloodshed began.
Of course, it was Wizard Midnight who had done most of the attacking. They had also encountered a Greater Demon before but he too, was killed by Wizard Midnight. Wizard Midnight’s secret abilities had astounded Merlin. Most probably, Wizard Midnight was already infinitely close to becoming a Great Wizard.
This time, they bumped into the Dora Demons swarming around some Spell Casters in the Bloodshed Universe. This was a fresh situation for Merlin. Moreover, in the past three days, he had gained an understanding of the Dora Demon Tribe. Even without activating the God-Binding Disc, his abilities should be comparable to an average Greater Demon.
Therefore, this time, he was ready to make a move.
Wizard Midnight hesitated for a moment. He glanced at Merlin. Then, he nodded faintly and took a step backward. When he first met Merlin, he only thought of Merlin as an average Potential Wizard. Since they had both came from Arcane City, he decided to give Merlin a leg-up and help familiarize him with the Bloodshed Universe.
Up to this point, Merlin should be relatively familiar with the Bloodshed Universe. Furthermore, Wizard Midnight also wanted to see Merlin’s abilities.
Merlin took a deep breath, and swept his gaze across the demented Dora Demons in front of them. Numbers, to him, meant nothing.
“Hoo…”
A cool breeze wheezed by. Merlin stood motionless in the same place but his entire body was emitting an invisible, harrowing fluctuation…
