nTen 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.

nMerlin 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.

nHowever, 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.

n“V-room.”

nThe 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.

nThe knights and nobles took a few steps back. They stared in horror at the raging, terrifying flame.

nEven for Merlin, it was his first-time casting ten Large Fireballs, so he could not predict how terrifying its effect would be.

nHowever, Merlin would not let down his guard, so he stared in an alert at the center of the explosion.

n“Hu…”

nA 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.

nAt 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.

nMeanwhile, Wizard Jason had been charred. He fell on the ground and his face was beyond recognition.

n“Finally dead…” Merlin smiled. Just when he felt relieved, he could not hang on any longer and lost consciousness.

nAugustin’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.

n“Merlin!”

nOld 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.

n“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.

nTherefore, they must depart from Blackwater City immediately.

nOld 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.

nIf they stayed any longer in Blackwater City, they would be in more danger!

n“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.

nAlong 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.

nAfter all, they could not give up their family’s business in Blackwater City, so they were prepared to surrender to the church.

n“Augustin, you’re just letting Wilson go like that?” injured Baron Vingult questioned Augustin loudly while standing up in difficulty.

n“Swish.”

nAugustin stared at Vingult sharply with a cold aura surrounding him.

n“Baron Vingult, you’re too ambitious… Wilson should have killed you just now! However, I can help Wilson one more time…”

nAugustin let out a sneer then he raised his sword.

n“What are you doing?”

nVingult’s expression changed and took a few steps backward in a struggle.

n“Die!”

nScorching 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.

n“Tsk.”

nThe ferocious flame gulped Baron Vingult’s body.

nWhen 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!”

nThe nobles all exchanged glances and nodded all at once.

nAt 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.

nIn the carriage were also Macy and Big-breasted Madam.

nMacy and the others immediately panicked when they saw Merlin’s weak situation.

nOld Wilson also asked in a heavy tone, “Merlin, how are you doing?”

nMerlin 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.

nOld Wilson nodded, then he said to Big-breasted Madam and Macy, “Merlin is injured. You take care of him.”

nAfter that, he jumped off the carriage and began to gather his knights. He was preparing to leave Blackwater City.

n“Merlin, you’re leaving Blackwater City?” Fatty Gutt’s voice rang outside the carriage.

nMerlin 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!”

nMerlin truly wanted to help Gutt. If Gutt was willing to do so, he would bring Gutt together.

nHearing 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.”

nGutt clearly knew that with his status, he should not be in any danger in Blackwater City.

nBoth did not say anything further. The air fell into silence.

nOld 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.

nAlong with Old Wilson’s order, the unit began to depart from Blackwater City.

nMerlin kept looking out of the carriage. Gutt’s figure became smaller gradually until it was completely out of Merlin’s sight.

n“Merlin, will we be able to return to this place?” Macy suddenly asked after a long silence.

n“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.
