In the gloomy room, the purple-haired old man was closing his eyes lightly as if in a ditation, but his face wore a suffering expression that made him look vicious.

“Snap!”

On one of the purple-haired old man’s fingers, a ring engraved with runes suddenly cracked open with a loud snap, fell to the ground and broken into pieces.

“Colton is dead?”

Imdiately, a huge wave of change washed over the purple-haired old man’s face. His body, which was initially sowhat stooped, instantly straightened up. His aged face contorted faintly as well, and a bleak air was exuded all over his body.

“Whoosh!”

An enormous gust of Wind Elent rose around the purple-haired old man. He rapidly rushed out of the gloomy room, and behind him, a dim shape of a hulking Alchemy Creature, covered all over in a layer of silver armor was trailing behind...

...

“He’s dead?”

rlin had cast Furious Fla. In the blink of an eye, the turbulent flas had swallowed the alchemist who had fallen into an illusion under Dark Mist. The alchemist did not have any robes or any such Defensive casting tools on him.

Therefore, the alchemist did not even release a scream before he was incinerated beyond recognition by the ferocious fire. He was practically turned into soot and emitted the thick stink of charred flesh.

After finishing off the alchemist, rlin turned his gaze to the mighty Alchemy Creature behind him. This Alchemy Creature which had extraordinary strength was not too slow as well. It was nearly impossible to kill and could be considered an indomitable Alchemy Creature.

However, after the alchemist had died, green mucus was secreted from the Alchemy Creature’s body which seed to drip all over its figure.

At places where the green mucus had passed by, the Alchemy Creature’s skin began to rot imdiately. The sa happened to its muscles and bones, which began rotting at a visible pace. Blisters bubbled up one after another as its viscous blood dripped onto the ground.

In a very short ti, the mighty Alchemy Creature was reduced to a puddle of blood. In that puddle were strands of green mucus, which was a nauseating sight.

rlin frowned as he watched the Alchemy Creature turned into a puddle of blood. He had the faint notion that this was a sort of technique alchemists used to control their Alchemy Creatures. Once the alchemist had died, the Alchemy Creature under their control would also die of so reason.

“Wizard rlin, what happened here?”

Wizard Burton, who had been watching everything, ca out of the room, dumbstruck. His residence was in complete disorder. Even the courtyard walls had collapsed from the impact, resulting in a huge breach. It was evident that the Alchemy Creature’s strength was frightening indeed.

“Creak.”

The door to the other room opened as well. To their surprise, it was the black-robed old man who had shut himself in his room for one or two months. He seed to have been roused by the pandemonium going on in the courtyard earlier and had opened his door to see what was happening.

“Wizard rlin, what happened exactly? I’ve heard a huge commotion, and seed to have detected Elental fluctuation.”

The black-robed old man and Wizard Burton had co toward rlin. Both of them were frowning as they stared at the corpse that had been burnt to a crisp, and the foul-slling puddle of blood.

rlin’s expression changed as he spoke in a low voice in dismay, “I don’t know what’s going on as well. I was just coming back from a visit to Sterling House when I bumped into this mysterious alchemist. He suddenly began to attack , and after a fierce battle, I managed to kill him.”

“Wizard rlin, how did this alchemist look like? In other words, did he have any distinctive features?”

Wizard Burton asked hurriedly. He had been in Floating City for so many years and knew many people. Perhaps he would be able to identify this alchemist.

rlin then gave a detailed description of the alchemist’s appearance. Wizard Burton frowned all the while listening to him. Once rlin had finished speaking, he began contemplating, as if searching, in his mind, for an alchemist who was similar to the person rlin had described.

Suddenly, Wizard Burton jerked his head up, and asked in a low voice, “Wizard rlin, did the alchemist’s Alchemy Creature possess a particularly large body?”

rlin nodded and thought of the many peculiarities that the particular Alchemy Creature possessed. Thus he said quietly, “That’s right, his Alchemy Creature had exceptional strength, and not only was its body physically powerful, but a mysterious layer of silver substance also appeared on its hands...”

Before he could finish, Wizard Burton imdiately interrupted rlin, and said anxiously, “Oh no! The alchemist you’ve killed might very possibly be Colton, a student of Wizard Sammir! The strange silver substance appearing on their Alchemy Creatures is an alchemy technique that’s unique to Wizard Sammir. It injects mithril, which is malleable and durable, into the bodies of the Alchemy Creatures. The mithril would form into all kinds of weapons or armor over the surface of their bodies, making them difficult to fight against!”

“Wizard rlin, you must’ve offended Wizard Sammir in so way. Leave this place imdiately. In fact, it’s best if you leave Floating City. Wizard Sammir is a powerful Third-level Spell Caster, and his alchemy techniques are even more terrifying. The Alchemy Creature he transfigured had once clashed against a Fourth-level Spell Caster without defeat. If he’s out to get you, you’ll be in real danger!”

Although rlin had never heard of Wizard Sammir, his heart sank at the sight of Wizard Burton’s anxious state, as well as the information about the ‘Third-level Spell Caster’ and ‘fought against a Fourth-level Spell Caster’.

Even though rlin was still sowhat confused about this sudden twist of misfortune, he knew that now was not the ti to find out the cause of all this. Instead, he had to leave quickly.

“Wizard Hill, let’s go. We’ll talk once we’ve left Floating City!”

rlin made the prompt decision to leave Floating City with the black-robed old man.

“Hold on, I still have to finish preparing Purple Stone Powder Potion to bring with .”

The black-robed old man had been roused by the commotion in the courtyard, so there were still many potions in the house which he had been preparing. Just as he had turned and entered his room, rlin’s eyes narrowed as he keenly sensed a peculiar aura.

Following that, in the narrow alleyway outside the quiet courtyard, an old, purple-haired Spell Caster gradually appeared.

“We can’t leave anymore... Wizard Sammir has already arrived!”

When Wizard Burton saw this purple-haired old man, he shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly as he spoke.

“Wizard Sammir!”

rlin muttered over and over to himself. His guard had gone up imdiately as he locked his gaze on the purple-haired old man not far away from him. Wizard Burton had turned pale just talking about this Third-level Spell Caster, Wizard Sammir.

rlin did not expect that Wizard Sammir would show up so quickly.

“Are you the one who killed Colton?”

Wizard Sammir’s eyes focused slightly, and with a spread of one great hand, a stream of scarlet light flew out from his five fingers. rlin felt a scorching wave of heat on his face.

“Gale!”

rlin’s heart gave a jolt. Wizard Sammir had begun right away, and his first attack was such a formidable Third-level spell. This firelight seed modest but it contained a terrifying power.

Upon reaching the wall, the firelight instantly liquefied a huge hole in the solid wall. Furthermore, a violent blaze had consud a large part of the wall in raging flas.

rlin trembled inwardly. If he had chosen to block that attack, he would have been caught in that roaring blaze by now.

A Third-level Spell Caster was far too powerful. rlin had no intention of staying around any longer. His only thought now was to escape, the further the better.

“Whoosh!”

An intense surge of Wind Elent rose around rlin and his speed increased exponentially. It was the strengthened version of Gale that he had cast in order to retreat as fast as possible.

Wizard Sammir frowned slightly and seed to be talking to himself, “What I hate the most are Spell Casters with Speed spells. Water Whorl!”

Wizard Sammir stretched a hand and pointed at the sky. Imdiately, threads of water vapor condensed rapidly as if the atmosphere had suddenly beco humid.

A sphere of water appeared in mid-air and spread out following the ripples of the water. The range covered by this sphere beca wider and wider, and in a flash, it had completely blanketed rlin.

At that mont, rlin felt a strong binding sensation constricting him until he was unable to move.

This was a Water-type Binding spell. After joining the Dark Magic Region, he had almost never t anyone who constructed Water-type spells. He did not think that he would encounter a Spell Caster who constructed such a spell in Floating City.

Moreover, this Water-type Binding spell, once cast, was strikingly formidable.

“Darling, go on. Capture him, but don’t hurt him!”

Wizard Sammir said gently to the enormous Alchemy Creature behind him, whose body shone all over with an intimidating air.

“Thump!”

Compared to Colton’s Alchemy Creature which rlin had seen, who knew how much stronger was this gigantic Alchemy Creature? The force of its steps crushed the bluestone floor tiles under both its feet. Thereafter, its hulking fra leapt up into the air, and its large shadow lood over rlin’s head.

Staring at this unbelievably ferocious Alchemy Creature, rlin dared not hold back any longer, and roared out, “Guardian Monunt!”

He cast Guardian Monunt three tis in a row. Then, he cast the strengthened version of Guardian Monunt through the Enhancing casting tool to act as a final defensive barrier.

“Crash! Crash! Crash!”

Three loud crashes – the ordinary Guardian Monunts which he had cast were unable to obstruct this frightening Alchemy Creature, whose entire body was covered in a rcury-like layer of silver armor. This was mithril, an especially durable mineral. It was very ductile yet resilient at the sa ti. However, it was highly toxic, and even those Elental Swordsn with exceptional physical attributes would undoubtedly die if they swallowed mithril.

He did not know what special alchemy technique Wizard Sammir had used to enable mithril to be injected into the bodies of Alchemy Creatures. Not only did the Alchemy Creatures survived, but they utilized the durability of mithril to perform countless changes, forming weapons and armors. It was indeed extrely terrifying.

Even the Spell Casters who held fast to the ancient alchemist traditions would have to admit that the current alchemists had made innovations and breakthroughs in terms of techniques in transfiguring Alchemy Creature. They had created many new alchemist techniques.

At the present, rlin was facing one such horrifying Alchemy Creature. In one of its hands was a sledgehamr ford out of mithril, which was soon ruthlessly smashing down toward rlin’s head.

The three layers of Guardian Monunt that rlin cast previously had been destroyed by the Alchemy Creature. Now, the Alchemy Creature had ford a silver sledgehamr out of mithril in order to wreck the strengthened version of Guardian Monunt cast through the Enhancing casting tool. This was rlin’s final defense.

“Boom!”

The Alchemy Creature was three ters tall, the height of a small giant. The muscles on its body bulged, containing its explosive strength. It raised the silver sledgehamr, which cut through the air and smashed into Guardian Monunt.
