It was very quiet in the street near Castellan's Mansion in Blackwater City. Usually, this place would be very crowded.
However, sometimes some people would stick their heads out of their house and look at the direction of Castellan's Mansion. They were observing the situation. The yelling sounds that came from Castellan's Mansion and the bloody stench spread in the air had halted them from going out.
Suddenly, a horse dashed past them. Looking at its direction, it was heading toward Castellan's Mansion.
On the horse were Merlin and the young knight, Yaguez.
"Yaguez, are you afraid?" Merlin suddenly asked the young knight.
Yaguez's face was bright red from the cold but his gaze faintly highlighted his determination. He shook his head."Young Master Merlin, to be honest, in the territory, I was scared when I faced so many robbers. However, after looking at Sir Baron and his heavy armored knights, I suddenly became fearless. With Sir Baron and the invincible heavy armored knights around, we'll always win!"
Merlin smiled. This young knight had been deeply "captured" by the heavy armored knights. He now only wished to join them and become one of them.
"You'll become one of the heavy armored knights and even a great knight in the future!"
Merlin could see the courage, determination, and persistence from this young knight's eyes. If he lived this time, he would become someone great.
The young knight rode very quickly. They could already see Castellan's Mansion from far away.
"Young Master Merlin, it seems like Sir Baron has already moved. The City Defense Troop cannot defend against the heavy armored knights!" The young knight saw the bodies lying around by the roadside. They were all the knights from City Defense Troop and rarely would they see the bodies of heavy armored knights led by Old Wilson.
Merlin had to exclaim in his heart. Old Wilson had proven himself to be a strong soldier who survived the "Slaughterhouse". The heavy armored knights he trained, albeit only two hundred of them, had won numerous times under Old Wilson's command. No matter if they were dealing with the Guardian Swordsmen of the church who were disguised as robbers in the territory or attacking the City Defense Troop at Castellan's Mansion, the heavy armored knights had always gotten the better of the situation.
"Follow the direction of these bodies, " Merlin said in a low voice. He knew that these bodies must be killed by the heavy armored knights. Following the direction of these bodies would surely get him to Old Wilson.
Merlin and the young knight kept dashing toward Castellan's Mansion. Gradually, the bodies on the ground increased. They could faintly hear the killing sound.
"Young Master Merlin, look at that. It's the heavy armored knights but they seem to be trapped!" Yaguez yelled loudly and Merlin also raised his head. He saw many knights from City Defense Troop gathered in front of the castle. They formed a large circle and had encircled the heavy armored knights led by Old Wilson.
"Get in there. Father must be in there!"
Looking at this situation, Merlin became worried about Old Wilson's situation.
The young knight did not care about anything else. He simply controlled his horse and ran toward the encirclement.
In the hall, Old Wilson was in imminent danger. The white light in Wizard Jason's hands appeared one after another. Like Zero-level spells, Wizard Jason could cast this spell continuously for many times without wasting a lot of Magic Power.
However, even if it was a Zero-level spell, it was not something Old Wilson could defend against.
"Ka-chak."
Finally, after receiving the attack for more than ten times, Old Wilson's armor finally could no longer withstand the attack. Cracks began to appear on the armor. Just like spider webs, the cracks spread out in an instant. Finally, the whole armor crumbled to the ground into pieces.
Old Wilson was pale as he took a few steps back. He glared in an alert at Wizard Jason.
After seeing that Old Wilson's armor had crumbled, Wizard Jason showed a smile on his face. He said in a low voice, "It's the end!"
"Swoosh."
Three bundles of white light were shot directly at Old Wilson at an incredible speed. Without the protection of the armor, if any light was to hit Old Wilson, the strong impact would be enough to kill him.
"Come!" Old Wilson seemed slightly ferocious. With a yell, the clothes he had on him all seemed to burst open due to the flexing of his muscle, showing his extremely strong body.
Old Wilson was near two meters in height. Now that his muscle was flexed, his whole being had become taller than two meters. Also, he was surrounded by a sort of raging air, expressed strongly in the flames of his sword which burnt furiously. The air even became distorted due to the intense burning.
Old Wilson was fighting with his life now, displaying his strongest force! His horrifying physical attributes and his elemental force that had almost broken through to Third-level were comparable to Angus, the Elemental Swordsman who was near to Fourth-level in the territory.
However, Old Wilson did not hold any hope when he faced Wizard Jason's fierce spell attack.
"Explode!"
Suddenly, a fist-like fireball flew into the hall, leaving smoke in the air. Following an indifferent voice outside of the door, the fireball exploded.
The scorching fireball spread throughout the hall and the terrifying explosion had directly destroyed Wizard Jason's spell. The three bundles of white light were immediately engulfed in the fire.
The sudden change had caused everyone to be in shock and at a loss. However, Old Wilson seemed to have guessed what was happening and he immediately stepped backward, his eyes staring outside of the hall.
As expected, a familiar figure slowly appeared in the hall.
"Merlin!" Old Wilson took a deep breath and yelled with mixed emotion. His tone was full of happiness after surviving a disaster. If Merlin was late by a little, he was afraid he had already been killed.
"Hmm?" Wizard Jason squinted his eyes. When he had a clear look at Merlin's face, he could not maintain his calm expression anymore. He almost yelled in surprise, "It's you?"
Wizard Jason had obviously recognized Merlin. After Wizard Jason had killed old man Etha, he had checked Merlin with his own spell, but he did not find anything odd.
However, the Fireball that Merlin cast had clearly indicated his identity as a Spell Caster. This had caused Wizard Jason, the one who had checked Merlin himself, to take on a ghastly expression.
"Wizard Jason, we've met again!" Merlin was a little surprised as well. He did not think he would meet Wizard Jason once again.
During Wizard Jason's battle with old man Etha, he had realized the strength of a Spell Caster, so he had a deep impression about Wizard Jason.
Now, Merlin had become a Spell Caster himself who was even stronger than old man Etha. Merlin was not the same as before when he met Wizard Jason again. His stare toward Wizard Jason had also revealed his great confidence.
The Spell Casters simply stared at each other in silence. The atmosphere was tense as the battle would be triggered at any moment!
