Chapter 120: Dark Vampire Bats II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the forest, Merlin and the others were right behind Wizard Danbe.

Their journey was extremely quiet. They did not encounter any Dark Vampire Bats, so they were slightly relaxed. Merlin and Laurinka were walking at the back of the team. Laurinka raised her head and glanced at Wizard Holmes who was in front of them. After that, she quietly slowed down her pace and walked beside Merlin.

“Wizard Merlin, you borrowed five contribution points from me. It was to exchange for the spell Dark Mist?”

Laurinka lowered her voice and asked softly.

Merlin showed neither approval or disapproval. He did not answer her question. Only a smile appeared on his face.

Upon seeing Merlin’s expression, Laurinka shook her head in disappointment. Following that, she frowned. “You’ve already created three Spell Models before. These Spell Models are not stable yet but you still created Dark Mist. Although Four-Elemental Spell Caster is very powerful, it’s even more difficult for you to become a First-level spell Caster. Don’t you want to become an official member of the Dark Magic Region?”

Merlin was quite surprised. He did not think Laurinka’s reaction would be so great.

Laurinka also realized that she had overreacted. She shook her head helplessly and did not speak anymore afterward. However, Merlin noticed the hint of disappointment in Laurinka’s words.

Merlin glanced at Laurinka’s back and frowned slightly. He would not be so naïve and thought that Laurinka truly “cared” about him. In reality, the Spell Casters in the Dark Magic Region mostly had a force backing them. The Spell Casters organization was rather a loose organization.

However, it was because of this reason that every Spell Caster in the Dark Magic Region had their own considerations. After noticing Merlin had created a new Spell Model, Laurinka seemed to think that Merlin had no chance of becoming First-level spell Caster now. She was disappointed about that.

Laurinka’s reaction was truly strange.

Merlin could not understand Laurinka’s intention, so he stopped thinking about it. He simply followed the team at a distance.

“Something’s odd. There’s movement in front.”

Suddenly, Wizard Holmes raised his head, noticing something.

At the same time, a slight fluctuation of Element appeared in front of them. It was the fluctuation of Darkness Element. Moreover, it did not seem like a Spell Caster was casting a spell.

“Could it be the Dark Vampire Bats?”

Merlin became serious. He knew the mission this time was not simple. They might encounter a large number of Dark Vampire Bats, so he must stay alert at all times.

“You guys stay here. I’ll go in front and check it out.”

Wizard Holmes was also acting carefully. As the leader of the team, he must stand up at this time.

Following that, Wizard Holmes initiated the robe on his body and walked toward the front carefully.

“Boom!”

Not long after, there was an explosion in front of them. Then, strong fluctuations of Element appeared from the forest. Someone was obviously casting a spell.

Wizard Ryllis felt the fluctuation of Element and her expression changed slightly. She told the others worriedly, “Let’s go there quickly. That is Holmes casting spell. He may be in danger.”

Thus, the team hurriedly dashed forward.

Soon, everyone found Wizard Holmes. He was casting “Confinement Wind” right now. He had confined a dozen bats that kept letting out sharp screeches in the forest.

“Dark Vampire Bats?”

Everyone immediately understood the situation. Those ugly monsters were the Dark Vampire Bats they needed to investigate in this mission. They were a Darkness type Elemental Monster which was very difficult to deal with.

“Hmm?”

Other than seeing these ugly Dark Vampire Bats, Merlin also saw a young man and a girl leaning against a huge tree. Moreover, he knew these two. They were Capace and Catherine, whom Merlin met after he left Prakash City.

Capace was supporting Catherine with one hand now. His other hand was gripping a huge sword tightly as he stared at those ugly Elemental Monster with a pale face.

“Swish!”

Suddenly, an ugly Elemental Monster broke out of Holmes’ Confinement Wind and dashed toward Capace and Catherine.

Both of their faces turned instantly pale. These Darkness type Elemental Monsters were extremely cruel. In addition, the Dark Vampire Bats were extremely quick. Capace did not even have the time to raise his sword.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, a scorching Fireball crashed into the ugly Dark Vampire Bats accurately and exploded. The violent flame directly engulfed Darkness Vampire Bat and burned it.

“Swoosh!”

A figure directly appeared in front of Capace and Catherine.

“Capace, Catherine, we meet again.”

Merlin wore a strange smile on him.

Capace and Catherine were dumbfounded but soon, Catherine reacted. She showed a hint of extreme elation and yelled loudly, “It’s you? Mr. Merlin? No, it should be Wizard Merlin. You saved us again.”

Without caring about their surprise, Merlin asked monotonously, “Why are you here?”

At this time, Capace stepped forward and explained briefly, “We’re following Wizard Pario and Father’s team, but we didn’t expect them to encounter danger after they found the Dark Vampire Bats. We want to rush back to Donglin City and ask Sir Marquis to save Father and Wizard Pario. However, we’re too careless and these Dark Vampire Bats found us. We’ve been running away from them for a while. Luckily, we met you...”

Merlin suddenly turned around and frowned. He noticed the Dark Vampire Bat which was hit by his Fireball was not dead yet. In fact, it seemed uninjured at all. It was now dashing toward Merlin, screeching.

“These Dark Vampire Bats are hard to deal with. We can only use Ice-type spell to restrain them!”

Wizard Holmes yelled loudly. The Dark Vampire Bats he had confined earlier had respectively broken out of the confinement. Other spells could not cause any harm to them at all.

Description about the Dark Vampire Bats also jumped into Merlin’s mind. They were indeed afraid of Ice-type spell. Even some Ice Swordsmen could deal with them.

Upon thinking about that, Merlin reached out his hand and pointed at the Dark Vampire Bat that was aiming at him. He instantly cast Frost.

“Kachak.”

The Dark Vampire Bat which came at Merlin was instantaneously frozen. Thick ice crystals covered it. Then, it fell from midair and broke into pieces.

“Indeed effective!”

Upon noticing Frost was effective, Merlin then cast Frost to the other Dark Vampire Bats. Since Holmes, Ryllis, and Laurinka had also created Ice-type spell, together they quickly eliminated the Dark Vampire Bats and the forest resumed its tranquility.
