Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121 – Encounter

Chapter 1121: Encounter

Wizard Dolan and Wizard Golan were busy cooperating. With the giant squid following them, they tried what they could to avoid being attacked. With every “instantaneous movement” they performed, they tried their bit to move past the squid’s attack.

They didn’t talk to each other, but both of them understood the other’s stress. If they went any slower, they would have to confront the giant squid directly. They would rather face the legendary sacred knight than fight this monster while still in the ocean.

After several failed attempts at striking these legendary wizards, the giant squid got even more irritated. Eventually, it got so angry that it went to unleash a high-intensity attack on the weak legendary wizards. After missing another one of its attacks, it finally gave up on teleporting in front of the legendary wizards. Instead, it chose to teleport itself towards their direction. Its giant body then spat out a dark mist towards above, covering everything in a one-kilometer range.

So far, the two legendary wizards had been matching speed to the giant squid. They were taking turns to achieve this. With each move, they could change the direction they went in. When the teleportation was activated one time, however, Wizard Dolan could find himself being interrupted. Both he and Wizard Golan were covered up by the black ink, and they could feel a zapping sensation on their bodies.

“No!” Wizard Dolan tried to scream. He didn’t think that the giant squid could perform an area attack as well. This special attack method could get to him even when he was trying to teleport. The giant squid would never have tried this if they weren’t provoking it and constantly slipping out of its reach. There was a risk in unleashing the black fog. It was meant to be a final attack if the fight was too much for the creature to handle.

While Wizard Doland and Wizard Golan were trying to prepare their final preparations, they heard a roar over the distance filled with anxiety and rage.

Wizard Dolan was sure that it was the giant sea turtle, “It’s from Wizard Doran!”

Following that, the giant squid appeared not so far away from the two legendary wizards. Wizard Dolan and Wizard Golan were already doing what they could to get out of this place. After seeing the situation, however, they had no choice but to wait and observe what was happening first.

Wizard Dolan had a small scroll in his hand that was quite different from most produced in the continent. It was something that he got from an ancient ruin. It was meant to turn his body into a streak of lightning along with other streaks of lightning. Basically, the streaks of lightning would fly in different directions while he, as one of them, would go in any direction that he wished. It was meant to be an extremely versatile form of escape.

Wizard Golan had something similar. He had an ancient circle in his hand, which would explode after being activated. Under his teleportation, he knew he would teleport at least 50 miles outward. But, of course, it was a one-time item that he’d rather not use. He also got it from an ancient sight. If he didn’t, he would have to spend a huge cost to try purchasing it from the Wizard Union.

When the giant squid stopped, it took scanned the two legendary wizards. Then, for some reason, it disappeared and went back to where it came from.

WIzard Golan let out a long breath, “That’s a terrifying sea creature there! It has even had a lightning element?”

In most fights, wizards would have an overwhelming advantage due to their ability to teleport. However, this was not the case when they were against spiritual beasts and sea creatures. These creatures could teleport as well, and when they were in their mature state, things could be very frightening for the wizards. This was exactly what happened with the giant squid. Its ability to teleport, aggressive capabilities, and sturdy defensive build made it quite a formidable foe against the two legendary wizards.

There was also the geographical advantage. There was not much of a point fighting with fire element spells in the ocean. For the freezing element, since sea creatures had a natural kinship to water, their power would just be greatly demolished. That would leave just the lightning element. But, the giant squid could conjure lightning elements on its own. So, with nothing too explicit, the two legendary wizards figured that they might as well escape. They couldn’t guard against any attack, so there wasn’t even a point in thinking about waiting for a fight like this.

Wizard Dolan hurried and asked, “What happened to the giant sea turtle, Doran?”

Wizard Doran shook his head, “I don’t know. I’m trying to get rid of the giant sea turtle, but it went back after shouting at me.”

Wizard Golan asked, “Could it be Master Bennett?”

The three looked at each other in silence for a while. This was probably the cause.

Wizard Golan spoke, “I hope Master Bennett is fine. I wouldn’t know what to report if he isn’t.”

Wizard Dorren didn’t know what to say, “Its Master Bennett. Let’s just hope that he escaped.”

Wizard Dolan was a bit hesitant. He knew that he couldn’t help Master Bennet even if he were going back. However, during that period of time, Master Bennett would’ve been out. While the three legendary wizards had their conversation, an angry roar came over the distance. It sounded worried and angry that it might lose something precious.

Wizard Dolan suggested, “Let’s just leave. The sea creature’s probably lost something. It might come looking for again for it if we don’t leave.”

Just when they were about to leave, the ocean became even more violent, with even greater maliciousness than the previous two fighting creatures. They didn’t know themselves. The giant squid and the giant sea turtle were no longer fighting. It was because they lost their treasure. As they unleashed their wrath towards the ocean around them, they tried to use the same method to find the thief that took from them. Still, all their efforts were futile. The ancient submarine was already repaired, and it took Abel to the deeper parts of the ocean. He no longer had to worry that the two sea creatures would come after him. The crystal was placed inside the portal bag, and the seclusion effect made him completely untraceable.

Abel had a safe and smooth journey after that. It probably had to do with these two exceptionally strong ocean creatures. He didn’t find anything stronger for the next few hours. After looking at the holographic map on the control circle, he could tell that he had arrived.

He spoke to the submarine spirit, “Up! Scan the area!”

“Yes, master!” the submarine spirit responded. So the ancient submarine went towards the ocean, and strange energy spread.

The submarine spirit gave the result quite quickly, “Three legendary wizards at the front, Master, at five miles in the front and 200 metres above!”

Of course, it all had to do with the fact that the legendary wizards didn’t hide. They were standing in midair. The ancient submarine had already reached the ocean. The originally oval-shaped body of the boat was reverting to its original form. Abel walked out of the vessel and looked towards the sky in front of him as he stood on the deck.

Wizard Dolan was the first to show up in front of him, “I knew you’d be fine, Master Bennett!”

Abel laughed and replied, “I hope you’re not hurt, Wizard Dolan.”

He could see that the three legendary wizards had been pulling the two sea creatures away. Despite the relaxed look on Wizard Dolan’s face, he couldn’t help but feel worried.

Wizard Golan and Wizard Doran were appearing on the deck as well, “We’re fine, we’re fine! Thanks, Master Bennett!”

Wizard Doran continued, “Well, what did you think an squid could do to us?”

She seemed to have forgotten that the squid had almost killed them all. Still, since she asked this so naturally, the other two couldn’t really ask what Abel did. It was almost like WIzard Doran tried to remind them not to ask too many questions regarding Master Bennett’s secret weapons.

Wizard Doran tried to change the subject, “Is ancient submarine fixed?”

She was pretty surprised; they saw how much damage was inflicted on the vessel before. Now, it looked brand new.

Abel smiled and explained, “Well, it has the ability to fix itself on its own.”

Wizard Golan looked at it and said, “That’s more than impressive.”

Truthfully, if the three never faced the sea creatures, they would’ve just been inside this ancient submarine to head straight to the destination. Fewer lives would be lost in any of their oceanic ventures, actually. But, unfortunately, many of the ancient ruins could be found inside the sea, and there were still not many options to explore these safely.

Wizard Dolan looked towards the front, “Be careful at the front, Master Bennett. Also, put away the ancient submarine while I take you to a higher altitude.”

As they spoke, the other two legendary wizards went up as well. Wizard Dolan went beside and patted his shoulder. Abel felt his body leaving the deck with Wizard Dolan. As they floated upward, he had his power of the Will wrapped around the ancient submarine and put it inside the portal bag.

Wizard Dolan was watching as Abel put away the submarine, “I suppose that’s the wealth of a potion master.”

Abel replied with a smile, “I suppose it’s nothing with what the WIzard Union has, considering they own most of the continent.”

Abel did sound quite humble in that statement, but he was also implying something else. His wealth was not to be compared with ordinary wizards, and even legendary wizards were not targets that could be combined with him. The fact that he was comparing himself to an organization as big as the Wizard Union, really, was just another indication of how ridiculous his wealth.

Wizard Dolan couldn’t help but smile. He thought that Master Bennett was making a simple joke. After elevating themselves, none of them used the “instantaneous movement.” Instead, they flew forward in midair.

Abel pointed towards the front, “What is that, Wizard Dolan?”

In the ocean that was in front of them, a loop appeared on the surface. It was about 30 meters in diameter. From the sky, they could see that the center was dark, which indicated that they couldn’t see the end of this swirl. Abel tried to reach it with his power of the Will. When there was still a bit of distance between them, he could see his power of the Will being pulled by a gigantic force. It was a good thing that his potential had far exceeded any other law-defying wizards and some legendary wizards. When the danger was about to reach him, he put away his power of Will.
