《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret
Advertisement
Ten gigantic fireballs flew toward Wizard Jason in the blink of an eye. Even with the protection of "Holy Light Ring", Wizard Jason's expression changed greatly.
Merlin was a little pale. His Mind Power was greatly exhausted. For a feat like that, he had already exhausted half of his Mind Power. With his current Mind Power, controlling ten gigantic fireballs was nonetheless putting too much on his plate.
However, these gigantic fireballs did not need Merlin's control much. After the fireballs had flown behind Wizard Jason, he only needed to detonate the unstable fireballs directly with his Mind Power.
"V-room."
The fireballs exploded and endless flames drowned Wizard Jason's body instantly. The flicking flame hissed around, sweeping small rocks and dust from the ground and formed a mushroom-shaped flame in the air.
The knights and nobles took a few steps back. They stared in horror at the raging, terrifying flame.
Even for Merlin, it was his first-time casting ten Large Fireballs, so he could not predict how terrifying its effect would be.
However, Merlin would not let down his guard, so he stared in an alert at the center of the explosion.
"Hu…"
A gust of wind blew away all the dust. Merlin was pale, one of his hands pressed lightly on his injured stomach. His chest was heaving rapidly. It was easy to see how seriously exhausted his Mind Power was after casting ten Large Fireballs from Bell Pendant at once. If he did not have an excellent physical attribute, he could not have held on any longer and fell on the ground by now.
At the center of the explosion earlier, Wizard Jason's figure appeared. However, the "Holy Light Ring" which surrounded Wizard Jason had completely disappeared. His white robe had been turned into ashes.
Meanwhile, Wizard Jason had been charred. He fell on the ground and his face was beyond recognition.

"Finally dead…" Merlin smiled. Just when he felt relieved, he could not hang on any longer and lost consciousness.
Augustin's eyes were bright red. His whole being was giving out a scary aura. He seemed just like a beast that had human flesh. Thus, even though this was the perfect timing to kill Merlin, Augustin and the injured Baron Vingult did not dare to make any rash move.
"Merlin!"
Old Wilson approached Merlin and lightly held him up. Merlin had not lost his consciousness completely at this moment. It was just that the damage on his Mind Power was too great, so he temporarily passed out.
"Father, don't worry. Uncle Prat is waiting at the city gate. We should leave Blackwater City quickly," Merlin said between large mouthfuls of breaths. He was not sure if the church had only sent Jason. If there were other Wizards, Merlin could not cast the spell in his current situation even if Bell Pendant still had eight Large Fireballs left.
Therefore, they must depart from Blackwater City immediately.
Old Wilson nodded and helped Merlin up. Then, his gaze lightly scanned Castellan Augustin and Vingult. Besides them, many City Defense Troop knights had gathered. Even if Old Wilson had his strong heavy armored knights, it was still impossible to kill them in a short amount of time.
If they stayed any longer in Blackwater City, they would be in more danger!
"Let's go!" Old Wilson ordered. Many heavy armored knights quickly dashed out of Castellan's Mansion. Augustin and Vingult did not stop them this time.
Along with Old Wilson, some nobles also left the place quickly. There were still some nobles who decided to stay after thinking for a long time.
After all, they could not give up their family's business in Blackwater City, so they were prepared to surrender to the church.

"Augustin, you're just letting Wilson go like that?" injured Baron Vingult questioned Augustin loudly while standing up in difficulty.
"Swish."
Augustin stared at Vingult sharply with a cold aura surrounding him.
"Baron Vingult, you're too ambitious… Wilson should have killed you just now! However, I can help Wilson one more time…"
Augustin let out a sneer then he raised his sword.
"What are you doing?"
Vingult's expression changed and took a few steps backward in a struggle.
"Die!"
Scorching flames burst out from Augustin's sword and slashed toward Vingult. Since Baron Vingult was heavily injured, he could not make any effective block at all.
"Tsk."
The ferocious flame gulped Baron Vingult's body.
When the sword was pulled out, it was still tainted with red blood. Augustin shot his gaze at the other nobles. With his eyes squinted, he said calmly, "You saw it just now. Baron Vingult and Wizard Jason are killed by the Wilson father and son!"
The nobles all exchanged glances and nodded all at once.
At the city gate, Merlin was placed lightly into the carriage by Old Wilson. Old Wilson's gaze was very gentle. Only when he was treating Merlin, Old Wilson would have such gentle gaze.
In the carriage were also Macy and Big-breasted Madam.
Macy and the others immediately panicked when they saw Merlin's weak situation.
Old Wilson also asked in a heavy tone, "Merlin, how are you doing?"
Merlin struggled to sit up and leaned against the carriage. He shook his head slightly. "Father, I'm fine. We must leave Blackwater City as soon as possible. We can't waste any minute!" Merlin reminded Old Wilson again that it was dangerous to stay in Blackwater City. They must leave now.
Old Wilson nodded, then he said to Big-breasted Madam and Macy, "Merlin is injured. You take care of him."
After that, he jumped off the carriage and began to gather his knights. He was preparing to leave Blackwater City.
"Merlin, you're leaving Blackwater City?" Fatty Gutt's voice rang outside the carriage.
Merlin quickly called Macy to pull the curtain open. After seeing Gutt, Merlin nodded, "Gutt, we must leave Blackwater City. The Kingdom of Light no longer exists now. You can come with me and leave Blackwater City, maybe even leave the Kingdom of Light!"
Merlin truly wanted to help Gutt. If Gutt was willing to do so, he would bring Gutt together.
Hearing Merlin's words, Gutt shook his head slightly, "I don't have to leave. No matter who's the one in control of the kingdom, they won't be able to survive without businessman. So, I'll be fine."
Gutt clearly knew that with his status, he should not be in any danger in Blackwater City.
Both did not say anything further. The air fell into silence.
Old Wilson had gathered the knights. He had lost thirty heavy armored knights, so he was left with one hundred and seventy of them. He also had lost more normal knights. There were only five hundred knights under Old Wilson's command now.
Along with Old Wilson's order, the unit began to depart from Blackwater City.
Merlin kept looking out of the carriage. Gutt's figure became smaller gradually until it was completely out of Merlin's sight.
"Merlin, will we be able to return to this place?" Macy suddenly asked after a long silence.
"Yes, we'll definitely return to this place!" Merlin took a deep breath. As he stared at the faraway Blackwater City, his tone was full of determination.

The Painter: A fantasy psych thriller and epic
*** June 21th Update ***- New chapters are being posted! I haven't figured out a schedule yet, but stay tuned!- Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed, I'm happy to say The Painter is in the top 200 best-rated fictions. - Readers of The Painter have suggested reading through Chapter 6 before making a decision on this book.- The story takes place in the Lootverse, but you don't need a canonical understanding to appreciate the storyFinally, a warning or reader beware: This is not an action novel (despite the coming fight scene) but a slow-burn psychological thriller of sorts. For a time, the Painter's life was simple. He lived in the small town of Kinon (called Kinney by locals) with his wife, Kahriah and his son, Thesdon. The story begins with him alone and unable to travel more than a few hundred miles from his home. For 5 years he tried to chart his prison until one day a letter appears with a mysterious commission that will see him test his condition and his boundary. Set roughly 50 years before the impending end of days (from Loot canon), The Painter is a story about loss, grit, and exploration of a seemingly normal man in a world of magic and monsters. The Painter will follow the man on his adventure to restore his family, uncover his commissioners and discover the nature of his condition. Loot is the decentralized, global, community built fantasy world based on Dom Hoffman's art/tech experiment: Loot. Fun fact: The cover of our book is painted by the artist, who the MC is loosely based on and the same person painting the Banners (digitally) IRL for an art/worldbuilding project.
