Lord of the Magical Beasts

Yang Ling teleported out using his Earth Evasion Technique after tossing out the Sky Blasting Cannon Wizard Amulet, hiding himself far away. In the end, seeing the knights of the Church pounce toward him, full of bloodlust, the long-haired black robed man thought that he had unintentionally stumbled upon the Church’s detection spell. He did not think that it was Yang Ling who had caused the trouble behind his back.

Caught off guard, he instructed the undead army to quickly attack. In that moment, he not only managed to fend off the attacks of the Church using his numbers advantage, he quickly gained the upper hand.

Even though the movements of the mutated Violent Earth Bears were stiff, they had an abnormally powerful offensive capability. They released Earth Spikes after letting out a roar, piercing straight through the warhorses of the Church’s knights. The zombies quickly followed up with the large blade in their hands, slicing off the head of the knights in one stroke. The skeleton archers shot out sharp bone arrows, killing the Spellcasters that could not dodge the attacks in time…

“Quick, cast the Holy Shield on the knights!”

“Those are dead Violent Earth Bears, purify them using the Holy Light, quick!”

…

After recovering from the shock, the Red-robed Cardinal at the scene gave a decisive order as he saw the sudden appearance of the undead army, mobilizing the troops. The Spellcasters would either cast Holy Shield on the many heavily armored knights or purify the mutated Magical Beasts and zombies that were in front using the Holy Light; The archers shot out bolt after bolt of sharp arrows, putting extreme pressure on the skeleton archers of the other party.

Both the offensive and defensive capabilities of the Church were alarming after they came to their senses!

Being enveloped by the Holy Light, the mutated Violent Earth Bears, zombies and skeletons all suffered lethal damage, their reactions slowing down. Their formation immediately scattered when the knights protected by the Holy Shield charged toward them. They would either be lifted high into the air with the knights’ Darkmetal Longspear or be trampled to a pulp by the heavy warhorses.

“Hmph, Poison Death Fog!”

The expression of the long-haired black robed man did not change despite the increasing number of the Church’s army and their fierce attacks. After murmuring a few incantations, a black fog appeared around him, getting thicker and thicker. In that instant, the undead army became energized, maniacally attacking the Church’s knights around them.

At the same time, the knights of the Church that had charged forward grew alarmed. They felt giddy after taking a few breaths of the black gas. They found it hard to even breathe, much less attack, falling prey to the undead army in the blink of an eye. Soon, the knights that have been killed stood up once again, and they focused their attacks on the Spellcasters and archers behind them

Tsk tsk, this is the terrifying undead magic?

Looking at the terrifying black fog, looking at the Church’s knights that had instantly became undead spirits, Yang Ling could not help but revise his estimation of the black robed man’s ability. He silently deliberated on how confident he was in killing the black robed man in one blow if he were to take action.

The black robed man was powerful. The black fog became thicker and thicker, the radius it covered increasingly wider, forcing the army of the Church back time after time. However, the situation changed in an instant after a white robed Spellcaster arrived, surrounded by a few Red-robed Cardinals.

After murmuring for an instant, the white robed Spellcaster covered the sky in Holy Light. In that moment, not only did the terrifying black fog quickly dissipate, the many mutated Violent Earth Bears, zombies and skeletons were all purified. They struggled for a moment before being reduced to a ball of black light, scattering into the wind in the blink of an eye.

White-robed Cardinal Bishop?

Looking at the white robed Spellcaster arriving under the protection of a few Red-robed Cardinals, the long-haired black robed man let out a look of alarm, quickly taking out a Teleportation Scroll from his robes, unwilling to hesitate. He teleported away using the scroll before the Holy Light got close to his body!

Aside from the Pope, the White-robed Cardinal Bishops could be said to be the most mysterious experts in the Church, their abilities deep beyond comprehension. Their Holy Light spell that had a wide range could be said to be the nemesis of all dark and undead creatures.

No matter how powerful he was, he was not foolish enough to deal with the White-robed Cardinal Bishop of the Church alone. Even though he had lost a substantial amount of zombies and skeletons, he had already achieved his motive for coming here, and there was no need for him to take the risk and stay.

“Sir, he would not have gotten too far even if he teleported out. Let me lead an army out to capture him!”

“That’s right, the ripples of energy in the air was very weak. That means that he has only teleported a dozen miles away, we can definitely catch up to him!”

…

Seeing the black robed man disappear in an instant, the few Red-robed Cardinals were furious, all of them asking the White-robed Cardinal Bishop to issue an order.

“Forget it, there’s no need to chase after him. Since the other party could teleport into the area and teleport out in time, that means that it is highly possible that he has more than two Teleportation Scrolls on him. He might have long teleported away once again when you exited the valley!”

The white robed Spellcaster shook his head and gave a few instructions, leaving after ordering them to set up the Holy Light Magical Spell Formation as soon as possible. Even though he had not looked toward the direction Yang Ling was at all this while, Yang Ling could instinctively feel an unprecedented sense of threat. The pagoda-shaped brand between his brows throbbed vigorously, becoming hotter and hotter.

Not good!

Yang Ling instinctively recited a Wizard Mantra in his shock. Even though he did not know how the other party had discovered his tracks, there was no time for him to think. It was clear that the old guy was an expert even amongst the experts. The feeling he gave him was even more threatening than when he had met Elder Klive for the first time.

Whoosh…

Following a deafening sound that sliced through the air, Yang Ling felt a formless pressure hit him, the blood in his body churning in that instant. The air around him then contorted, rendering his Earth Evasion Technique unusable. He was unable to teleport no matter how hard he tried!

Space Imprisonment?

Yang Ling’s heart shook after he let out a dull grunt. He had not expected the old man to be powerful to this extent. He directly entered the space of the Wizard’s Pagoda, vanishing without a trace before the Domain Space of the white robed Spellcaster fully unfolded.

“Oh, just who is that person?”

Yang LIng was shocked, but the white robed Spellcaster who had rushed to where Yang Ling was was even more surprised. He had never encountered such a thing ever since he developed his Domain Space. Even though his Domain Space had not fully unfolded, being able to quickly escape from the space showed that the other party had a certain understanding of Domain Spaces. It was possible that he was also a Domain Expert and was much more powerful than an ordinary sage level fighter.

The white robed Spellcaster had a grave expression, but the many knights and Spellcasters that arrived later were dumbfounded. What a series of events it was today! To think that a powerful Undead Wizard had just left when a Domain Expert had appeared in the blink of an eye!

“Increase the speed in setting up the magical spell formations. No one is to leave the valley without my orders!” The white robed Spellcaster gave an order after retracting his Domain Space.

Originally, he had thought that he would have a few days to set up the magical spell formations. He did not expect the many factions to take notice of them this soon. It looks like it is time to ask for reinforcements from the Holy City and hasten the exploration of the relic of the giant dragon.

Appearing a few miles outside the Valenia Volcano Valley, Yang Ling took a deep breath as he remembered how terrifying the white robed Spellcaster was, unwilling to hesitate for even a moment. He summoned his Unicorn after wiping the streak of blood at the corner of his lips, leaving as fast as the wind.

He had thought that he had the ability to face any fighter on the continent alone after having advanced to the level of Divine Wizard. It looks like his abilities were far from enough!

The white robed Spellcaster had been able to imprison the space he was at even though he was a few hundred steps away. The powerful pressure had nearly caused him to vomit blood instantly. He could not imagine the abilities the old man would have if he were to battle him face to face! If his guess was correct, the old man was not just an ordinary sage level fighter. His abilities were definitely above that of Elder Klive’s!

Yang Ling had a thought as he remembered Elder Klive, instructing the Unicorn to sprint straight toward the temporary outpost of the Dark Association in the forest.

Directly opposing a person as powerful as the white robed Spellcaster was undoubtedly a foolish choice. It was better to get the Dark Association and the Wolf Troop Team to do that for him. His aim was to mix into the chaos and obtain the Magical Beasts and rich resources in the cave anyway. After obtaining news of where the relics of the giant dragon was, there would naturally be someone to deal with the powerful Church.

Yang Ling reached his location at dawn. Seeing his grave expression and how much of a hurry he was in, the hidden scouts and patrol guard of the Dark Association made way, sending someone to bring him into Elder Klive’s tent.

After seeing Elder Klive wake up from his meditation, Yang Ling forced out the Magical Beast Blood Essence that he had intentionally hidden in his mouth, pretending to be heavily injured. He then selectively told Elder Klive what had happened, including appropriate exaggerations to suggest the difficulty of his journey.

According to his agreement with the Dark Association, he would be able to receive remuneration after helping them find the relic of the giant dragon. The greater the difficulty of the mission, the more reason he had to request a greater reward.

“The undead army of the Angus Family, the White-robed Cardinal Bishop of the Church. Hehe, they’re here, those who are supposed to be here are here!”

Elder Klive let out a cold laugh after understanding what went on. It looks like the various factions had sent out their respective elites for the fabled Divine Weapons. Luckily, he had had the foresight to preemptively ask for reinforcements from the association. If there were no accidents, the few old monsters from the association would soon arrive.

The White-robed Cardinal Bishop of the Church was very powerful. According to reliable sources, they had just broken through the barrier to become Domain Experts and possessed their own Domain Space. However, they would not be able to gain any advantages if the old monsters from the association joined forces.

“Yang Ling, this is a jade pendant that I obtained when I was training abroad a hundred years ago. It could not only increase the speed of your cultivation, it is also immensely beneficial to the recovery of your wounds. Even I cannot decipher some of the areas of the pendant. You would have to examine it closely when you get back!”

After handing Yang Ling with the sparkling jade pendant, Elder Klive paused for a moment before continuing, “Some time ago, the association had secretly purchased a large batch of high-level prisoners of war from all over the continent. Amongst them are a group of high-level Alchemists and craftsmen. They will reach Wissen Town by tomorrow night. From then on, they would not have any connections with the Dark Association!”

A large batch of high-level Alchemists and craftsmen?

Yang Ling knew that this had not been a wasted trip after hearing Elder Klive say this. Considering the status of the other party, the ‘large batch’ that he spoke of must definitely be a huge number. A large batch of high-level Alchemists and craftsmen is far more valuable than a large amount of Purple Crystal Coins. Coupled with the mysterious jade pendant, Yang Ling was going to return with his coffers full.
