A Wizard’s Secret
chapter-293

"Hum… Hum… Hum…"

The battle had begun. In the towering sea wave, countless sea beasts had charged to the beach, and Wizard's Tower had already arranged a number of "Black Water Magic Circles".

Therefore, when these sea beasts rushed to the beach, they would be immediately strangled by Black Water Magic Circle, so despite the astonishing numbers of the sea beasts, they did not pose any substantial threat to the crowd of Spell Casters.

One after another, the sea beasts were strangled to death and all the Spell Casters who watched the scenario shuddered. They did not expect Runic Magic Circles to be so frightening when used as an offensive attack. It had now strangled countless sea beasts, and the blood even stained the seawater red, exuding a thick, bloody stench.

Suddenly, the sea beasts that seemed on an endless rage no longer appeared. Two ultimate titan-like sea beasts fiercely jumped off the towering sea wave.

With the appearance of these two sea beasts, all the sea beasts crouched on the ground, shivering and expressing their absolute surrender to the two sea beasts.

"Black shark king beast!"

Powerful Spell Casters such as Wizard Umo and Great Wizard Kansu recognized these two sea beasts at one glance as only king beasts could have such influence.

"Splash!"

The two black shark king beasts merely lifted their heads and looked at the several Black Water Magic Circles on the beach. Then they whispered, and the huge towering sea waves swept up and ferociously gushed toward the beach.

"Boom!

The Runic Magic Circles which were still incomparably powerful moments earlier began to flicker violently. One by one, the mysterious runes shattered when they encountered the powerful impact of this towering sea wave.

The faces of the Spell Casters who were responsible for controlling the Runic Magic Circles turned pale. These Runic Magic Circles were broken by the black shark king beasts.

"They're black shark king beasts all right. Wizard Kansu, do it!"

Wizard Umo's gaze locked fiercely, staring deadly at the two humongous black shark king beasts on the beach. Since they were able to rival Great Wizards, these king beasts could surely cast spells.

However, the black shark king beasts' power of manipulating water flow was only archetypal. Their most terrifying attribute was their sturdy bodies, together with the power of manipulating water. It was almost comparable to Great Wizards, which made the black shark king beasts a real nuisance.

Moreover, among the numerous sea beasts, black shark king beasts were combat-type sea beasts. Dealing with one was considered a feat on its own, two on the other hand, would be a miracle. It was not surprising that even Wizard Kansu had a serious look on his face.

As Wizard Umo's voice fell, Wizard Kansu, who was wearing a white Wizard's robe took in a deep breath too, then gradually rose into the air, his entire body surrounded by slight Wind-type elemental fluctuations.

"Wind!"

Wizard Kansu gently pointed his fair-skinned fingers to one of the black shark king beasts. Suddenly, a whirlwind appeared out of thin air. This whirlwind seemed to be very calm, but once it touched the sea beast, it started cutting the black shark king beast frenziedly, like a sharp blade.

Even the tough body of the strong black shark king beast had been cut to reveal streaks of red markings. Although it still could not heavily wound the black shark king beast, it made the black shark king beast suffer. It could not help but growl toward the sky.

"Fire!"

The gust persisted, and Wizard Kansu pointed his finger again. Glimmers of flame started flurrying from within the whirlwind. Seemingly aided by the fanning wind, the flames began burning more vigorously.

At this moment, the wind and the fire seemed to have combined perfectly.

Wizard Umo praised in admiration, "This is a fusion of spells. It's rumored that Great Wizards are capable of blending all spells together, each result in a spell comprising multiple spells of different elements. This is the true meaning of Great Wizardry! As a Ninth-level Spell Caster, I've been trapped in this step for a long time, and I don't know when can I grasp the true meaning of spell fusion and strike a breakthrough, becoming a Great Wizard!"

Not only Wizard Umo but also the other Spell Casters were in awe. The most important part of being a Seventh-level or above Spell Caster was to derive and construct new Spell Models.

There was a big difference between the two. For some Spell Casters who were adept at the derivation of spells, the spells that they construct would be terribly powerful, even achieving cross-level kills.

Seventh to Ninth-level Spell Casters mainly deduct and built new spells, while the far superior Great Wizards were at a whole new level above them. It required all kinds of comprehension, the most important thing being able to fuse all Spell Models constructed previously, further making sure that the resultant fusion would not crumble.

If that was successful, one would then become a Great Wizard. A Great Wizard at this time would be particularly terrifying. Any casual gesture or any simple spell cast could exhibit the attributes of countless spells. Among Ice-type spells, there could be burning flames, while among Fire-type spells, there could be turbulent torrents.

Great Wizards were meant to merge spells while the spell that Great Wizard Kansu had just released was, in fact, a product of spell fusion, which could be ever-changing, unleashing immeasurable powers at any time and place.

"Chi! Chi! Chi!"

The wind blade slashed the skin of the black shark king beast mercilessly while the flames continued burning too. While the black shark king beast may be howling miserably, it did not actually sustain any damage. Instead, its body continued expanding, just like blowing a balloon, doubling in size.

"Whoosh!"

This enormous black shark king beast revealed its menacing sharp teeth while huge waves surprisingly appeared from its body, lifted upwards and moved towards Wizard Kansu.

Wizard Kansu and the black shark king beast had already engaged in a battle, and the situation did not seem to be favorable.

At the same time, the other black shark king beast seemed to charge toward Great Wizard Kansu too. Wizard Umo and the others directed a glance at each other. Based on their previous agreement with Great Wizard Kansu, they must hold back one of the black shark king beasts.

Thus, at this moment, they could not retreat. They could only take action!

"Come on, let's hold the black shark king beast back, and hope that Wizard Kansu could settle the other one as soon as possible, so we can still stand a chance."

Wizard Umo and the two Fort Udon leaders beside him took lead in engaging the black shark king beast, their intense elemental fluctuations covering most of the sky.

The flames were like curtains while the winds were whistling. These Ninth-level Spell Casters, who would otherwise be rarely seen at normal times, pulled off their strongest techniques at first strike. Eight Ninth-level Spell Casters formed almost a circle and entrapped the other black shark king beast, madly casting overwhelming spells like a downpour.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

However, these seemingly overwhelming spells were actually not as good as Great Wizard Kansu's one spell. Nevertheless, even Great Wizard Kansu could not hurt the black shark king beast, not to mention Wizard Umo and the other seven Ninth-level Spell Casters.

These Ninth-level Wizards who were usually powerful and a class above everyone else, seemed kind of helpless when facing the black shark king beast, feeling at a loss as to what to do.

"Roar!"

The black shark king beast roared loudly with a vengeful look in its eyes. Then, its huge tail smashed toward the surroundings fiercely.

"Bam!"

With just a light sweep, even the defensive spells of two Ninth-level Spell Casters crumbled right away. Their physical bodies had it worse, getting shoved into the air, which then looked like a gory mess. One hit had already heavily wounded two Ninth-level Spell Casters.

Then, the black shark king beast charged forward ferociously, and the huge force seemed to have shaken the entire island. In the face of such a terrifying king beast, any Spell Caster would be petrified.

"Not an opponent, not an opponent at all. We cannot hinder the beast one bit, let alone contain it!"

Wizard Umo's face had become pale. They were too optimistic before, estimating that they could hold a black shark king beast back with eight Ninth-level Spell Casters.

Now it seemed that they were a far cry from matching the black shark king beast. Even in the sky, Great Wizard Kansu was in a losing position. Facing the fierce black shark king beast, Great Wizard Kansu had run out of ideas.

They had lost and there was not even the tiniest bit of chance to defeat the king beast.

"We failed. The two black shark king beasts aren't something we can deal with. Oh, king beasts, it turns out that for such a long time the Kurdmansla Islands have been built, we only had such a fragile strength and connotation. We can't even contend two king beasts..."

Wizard Umo and the others could only smile helplessly. They had even dreamt of becoming a large-scale spell casters' organization, especially since acquiring Great Wizard Kansu.

Yet, now it seemed that they were still very far away from that. One time, a large spell casters' organization dispatched a Great Wizard, who went deep into the sea and exterminated three king beasts.

At that time, they thought that Great Wizards were all so powerful, so when Great Wizard Kansu came to the Kurdmansla Islands, the three major factions paid an unimaginable price so that Wizard Kansu could "be their stronghold" among the Kurdmansla Islands.

However, now it seemed that Great Wizard Kansu was simply not comparable to the Great Wizards in those spell casters' organizations, and even with all of them added up, they were sadly still no match for the two black shark king beast.

"Haha, let's go, let's go, we've lost. My fellow Fort Udon members, escape as far as you can. Every contract is immediately terminated!"

Wizard Umo suddenly declared loudly. His words could be heard clearly throughout the entire beach. In that instant, the Spell Casters who were desperately fighting the sea beasts were somewhat stunned.

"Escape?"

"It can't be stopped? Not even Great Wizard Kansu can stop it?"

Wizard Bayton, who had just returned to Fort Udon was also among these Spell Casters. He looked at the two large-sized black shark king beasts crushing countless Spell Casters with a single stroke. No spell or casting tool was capable of stopping that.

He knew that the Kurdmansla Islands couldn't be saved!

At the same time, Wizard Umo took out pieces of contract papers from his ring. These were contracts signed by the many Spell Casters of Fort Udon. If it was intended to terminate these contracts by force, they would naturally need to pay a huge price.

However, if Fort Udon took the initiative to terminate the contracts, it would then be easy. It would only require Wizard Umo to initiate the termination of the contract, but once there was no more contract, then Fort Udon would be considered truly disbanded!

"Just terminate it, all the contracts will be terminated. Members of Fort Udon, just flee, you'll not be bound by the contract ever again!"

As Wizard Umo's voice fell, the numerous Fort Udon Spell Casters on the beach could feel that the binding power on their bodies had really disappeared.

…

Deep in the bottom of the sea, on the Ship of Nikola, Merlin's originally calm face became very confounded. He abruptly opened his eyes immediately after.

"This... Is the contract terminated?"

A strange expression appeared on Merlin's face.
