Arriving At The Academy
“It’s a matured giant storm sprite!
“Damnit! How could we meet with this kind of things on this path, didn’t we clear it before?”
“Where are the Magi of the various academies? We need their help!”
A few flustered voices sounded.
“Let us first activate the large-scale defense spell formation. If not, those acolytes will surely die!”
After some incantations, all the walls on the dirigible were enveloped by a layer of milky white light. All cracks in the dirigible flashed with a green light as vines climbed up and firmly blocked any openings.
“Hu hu…… “Leylin’s face turned red as he panted heavily.
When the giant storm sprite spoke earlier, the acolytes had all felt an ice-cold force pressing down on them.
Immense, boundless, and raw malice! Leylin found it difficult to breathe.
Fortunately, after the defense spell formation was activated, Leylin felt much better as the pressure lifted.
Otherwise, most of the acolytes in the hall might just die from suffocation moments later.
“Human beings, you must pay the price for your folly!” the giant storm sprite howled.
As the sound waves travelled through the defense spell formation , the milky white light vibrated.
“Mighty being of nature! Please appease your fury! We have a letter here!” A familiar voice rang beside Leylin’s ears, it was the dirigible captain.
“This is the letter of agreement that we had with His Majesty, the storm king sprite, which grants us passage through this area!” Kirkwul said with a voice full of confidence.
“Letter of agreement?” The giant storm sprite’s voice contained suspicion, which he followed up with a furious roar, “Pendra is free! The agreement does not bind me to it!”
“Keep roaring! Rage on! Damikan Buthra!” With the incantation spoken, the thunderstorm outside became ten times more violent than before.
“Damn! It is actually a wanderer, I have hit the jackpot!” Kirkwul’s voice sounded once again, but it did not carry the usual confidence and was infused with exasperation instead.
“Everyone attack together!”
* Rumble! *
Many bright coloured lights flashed continuously outside the window, clashing with the lightning.
The dirigible gradually started to sway.
Leylin’s face turned slightly pale. He could only pray for the Magi to use their might and chase that darn giant storm sprite away, otherwise he would not even be able to escape since he was stuck high up in the sky.
“Bang!”
There was another rumble, and the dirigible recovered its stability.
“Has it left?”
“It is only a giant storm sprite that has just matured, it is only comparable to half of an elemental Magus at most. There are nine of us here, so it running away is natural!
The voices of the Magi discussions sounded from outside. It obviously did not take a lot of effort for them, which eased the minds of the acolytes.
As expected, when the acolytes heard those words, they all shouted and cheered loudly.
“Woo! To our great Magi!”
“Damn it! I thought I would fall and be smashed into minced meat!”
“Haha! Look at that coward; he actually peed in his pants!” The acolytes all mocked an unlucky acolyte and vented the fear that they had held in their hearts.
Leylin’s eyes scanned the surroundings.
When the giant storm sprite spoke earlier, Jayden had already released the vines binding Kaliweir, and right now it seemed like Kaliweir had escaped. However, although Jayden’s face was rather pale, he stood his ground and maintained the pose of a victor.
“The A.I. Chip did not detect that Jayden was carrying a magic artifact earlier. It seems like it was only acquired recently, and the only means of that is through Dorotte!”
“It seems like after obtaining the magic artifact, Jayden has been leading Kaliweir into picking a fight with him impatiently. If not for this incident, it is very likely that he would have succeeded!” Leylin thought to himself.
Because of the interruption from the giant storm sprite, the fight between Jayden and Kaliweir remained unsettled as it drew its curtains.
From then on, Kaliweir tried his best to avoid appearing in the same place as Jayden. It seemed like he was afraid of his opponent’s magic artifact.
This fight had greatly influenced Leylin’s thoughts.
“Kaliweir has already ignited his internal life energy, and got through the bottleneck and became a full-fledged Knight. However, in front of an acolyte with a magic artifact, he is still as weak as a lamb! It seems like the strength of Magi greatly surpass that of Knights!
“Originally, I thought I must ignite my internal life energy. But after this, if I haven’t ignited it before reaching the school, then I’ll give up on it! I definitely have to pour all my attention and energy into my studies to become a Magus!” Leylin made up his mind.
The time slowly passed, and the dirigible finally reached another continent.
