Novel Full Chapter 414 Fischer's "Magic Wolf
Under the night sky shrouded by heavy dark clouds, raindrops fell like endless silver needles, violently striking the ground, causing fine splashes to erupt only to be swiftly scattered by even fiercer winds.
“Boom!”
Thunder roared, low and oppressive, weaving together with lightning to create a terrifying picture of the dark night.
Silently, a few people inside the house gazed out, not daring to make a sound.
On the street, several black figures emerged stealthily, like the most elusive specters in the darkness, their figures cloaked in long black capes that seemed to merge with the night. Their pace was neither hurried nor slow, but in the dark, their true movements were difficult to trace.
Those people…
Despite the raging storm, Charlotte saw an indescribable chill on the faces of the black figures; their faces flashed intermittently under the lightning, full of mystery and unpredictability.
Pair after pair of eyes, hidden in the shadows of the capes, glowed sharply, as if they were peering into the deepest secrets of the world.
Among the silent onlookers, Charlotte’s teacher suddenly spoke up.
“Those seem to be people of the Black Tide… Why have they found us!”
The Black Tide!
Charlotte’s eyes instantly widened, and she subconsciously gripped her hands tight!
The Black Tide was undoubtedly a fearsome secret organization, shrouded in legend, and long under the command of the “demon of the East Coast,” “Iron Mask Man” Duke Darren.
Compared to the Eye of the Raven, the Black Tide often felt even more unsettling.
And the difference between the Black Tide and the Eye of the Raven was that the latter was an officially recognized monitoring organization by the Cyart officials, while the Black Tide was a group of evil hidden in the shadows!
They were like the black shadows stretching out from Duke Darren, engulfing one person after another like an evil tide!
What should we do?
The people of the Black Tide have come!
Charlotte took a deep breath.
Although all five people in the house were Extraordinary Exponents, only she and the teacher were strong ones at low-level and middle-level Transmutation, whereas the other three were merely high-level Beginning Bloodline Knights.
Could we defeat the Black Tide?
“Teacher?”
She asked softly, and the respected elder took a deep breath, his voice determined.
“It seems we’ve been discovered.”
“Next, we might have to fight a life-and-death battle.”
Everyone became visibly anxious, and so someone whispered:
“What do we do? Since we’ve been discovered, doesn’t that mean our plan has failed?”
Others were suddenly outraged, clenching their fists, venting all their dissatisfaction on the Rhea People.
“Damn it! It’s all because those cursed Rhea People never showed up!”
“Should we surrender?” Suddenly, someone made a suggestion that silenced everyone.
Charlotte was stunned, then everyone turned their heads, their expressions varying as they looked at the person who had advocated surrender.
Swallowing nervously, that person flailed their hands, their face exaggerated and anxious as they said, “Since we’re doomed to fail, why continue in this folly? I’m not afraid to die. I can accept death if my name remains after assassinating the Queen, but being caught here means dying unknown in a filthy ditch. Better to surrender and find another opportunity!”
What nonsense! That person was clearly just scared and cowardly — Charlotte felt an immense rage building inside her and almost wanted to strike!
However, her calm teacher laid a hand on her shoulder to signal her not to attack that “companion.”
He looked around at everyone calmly, and said indifferently, “So that’s it. Some of you have come here for revenge, others for fame, and yes, some for the Cyart in your hearts.”
Charlotte watched silently as her teacher slowly turned around, his slender figure appearing tall and imposing as he walked to the door.
“I won’t oppose any of you, and I won’t stop anyone from surrendering. That’s each individual’s choice. In fact, just holding out this long is already a testament to great courage,” he said.
His voice wasn’t loud but was incredibly steady and profound.
“No one truly knows what the future of Cyart holds. I am fully aware that Duke Darren and the Fischer family may be ruthless and brutal, yet they are not as corrupt and incompetent as the resistors claim. On the contrary, they are capable and might even lead Cyart to a better future.”
What was the teacher saying… Why was he acknowledging the Fischer family, that demonic family?
Charlotte stared, her mouth agape, her whole body trembling slightly, her heart a tumult of shock.
She had always felt that the Fischer family was disrupting the established order, the new system clearly plunging Cyart into a horrific chaos, with everyone suffering as a result!
Therefore, Charlotte simply could not understand why her teacher would show any recognition for the Fischer family!
The teacher continued to speak.
“However…”
“I am an old guardian from a bygone era, a knight pledged to the past, standing upon the land of blood and fire, guarding our nation with my soul. Yet within the future envisioned by the Fischer family on the East Coast… there is no place for me!”
“No matter what, I shall issue my final challenge to the Fischer family!”
He suddenly pushed open the door and strode out. Charlotte, after listening, felt the blood in the depths of her heart boiling, and immediately followed her teacher out to confront the Black Tide.
The three people behind them looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and also walked out.
“Boom!”
The thunder roared!
In the raging storm, there were about a dozen people from the Black Tide. The middle-aged man leading them wore dark clothes, his face marked with deep scars and his temples grizzled, his gaze sharp and profound.
Just the sight of that middle-aged man with the facial scars and grizzled temples was enough to sink the hearts of all the resisters.
The infamous “Fischer’s Hound,” “Magic Wolf,” “First Tidemaster”!
Charlotte’s hand, gripping her weapon, trembled slightly as she recalled many intelligence reports… That man, who called himself Old Dog, was the Black Tide’s deputy leader and its former First Leader.
As one of Duke Darren’s right-hand men, he undoubtedly possessed immense strength.
For those who had just mustered their courage, the presence of the “Magic Wolf” was like an insurmountable steel wall. The mere fact that the man was standing there spread fear rapidly!
Charlotte saw the “Magic Wolf” whisper to a middle-aged woman by his side, who then nodded gently. Following that, the Black Tide’s people rushed forward in masse.
They were all Extraordinary Exponents, and each held a new automatic pistol produced by the munitions factory, exuding threat and oppressive might!
“Charlotte, protect yourself!” the elderly teacher shouted as he, with his aged body, was the first to confront the people from the Black Tide.
He instantly transformed into a pitch-black Dragonkin for battle, facing the Black Tide without falling behind, fully displaying the tremendous power of a Middle Transmutation Level Extraordinary Exponent. The bullets that hit his black dragon scales had no effect whatsoever.
Charlotte, when facing that middle-aged woman by herself, realized that her opponent was a powerful Spellcaster with physical prowess far inferior to her own but possessed very special powers.
However, despair wasn’t what she felt in her heart. Instead, she sensed a tentative hope rising within.
Perhaps, we could win!
Even the legendary Black Tide might not be able to destroy us!
For we are fighting for the heroes of Cyart who have been wrongfully slain, for the people oppressed by the Fischer family. Our fate marches forward under the watchful eyes and protection of the Gods, and we shall not fail so easily!
Charlotte’s emotions stirred fervently deep inside!
However, the battle had barely begun when her teacher’s strength drew the attention of that most terrifying man.
“Hm? A Middle Transmutation Level?”
At that moment, the man known as the “Magic Wolf,” the Old Dog, frowned and spoke in a low voice:
“Carol, you all should step back. He wouldn’t want casualties for the Black Tide; let me take care of them.”
He was already at the 4th Rank of the Path of Calamity, a mighty powerhouse; only Marzo among the Black Tide could match him.
“Understood!” Charlotte saw the middle-aged woman before her nod.
The people from the Black Tide immediately retreated. Charlotte, burning with vengeance, wanted to hold back the enemies, but suddenly she heard her teacher shouting anxiously, “Retreat quickly!”
She hesitated for a moment, then saw the “Magic Wolf” step forward.
The next moment, everything changed.
An unprecedented cold current stealthily invaded, carrying a chill that could freeze one’s soul, instantly altering the outcome of the battle.
In that instant, it was as if time had hit the pause button on the rain.
The torrential water droplets hadn’t yet touched the ground when they were trapped mid-air by the frigid temperatures, turning into crystal-clear ice beads. They kept falling, no longer as liquid, but in a static beauty, freezing into strings of ice beads hanging in the air, flickering with a cold and mysterious light.
Trees, streets, houses… everything touched by the rain quickly frosted over with a thin layer of ice.
The whole world became both unfamiliar and enchanting, every detail was finely carved, frozen into a breathtaking ice sculpture tableau.
Three companions perished in an instant, their innards completely destroyed by the cold, and even the teacher was completely sealed in ice.
Charlotte felt the immense cold invading her body and soon was completely immobilized; most of her body was frozen, and even her consciousness began to blur.
Too strong…
With a pale face exhaling cold breath, she experienced for the first time the strength of such formidable power.
“Fischer’s Hound,” the “Magic Wolf,” the Black Tide’s deputy leader was simply too powerful. Could there really be someone this strong in the world, how could it be like this…
“Ahhh! Fischer!”
Charlotte soon noticed that her teacher, who initially couldn’t move as well, was now bellowing as he forcefully broke free from the ice and, shivering, took out a powerful Mysterious rare artifact from his bosom, unquestionably ready to fight to the end with his opponent!
