n?As soon as Sage Merlin decided to save the Pontiff, he did not hesitate to release his Divinity…

nThe pressure that was coming from him stunned the Storm Knights and even Vale for a brief moment. However, after Lisa and Chad warned him about the other Half-Immortal in this Kingdom, he immediately realized what was going on and watched the man go after the Pontiff.

n“I will save your Pontiff. Prepare to escape!” Merlin shouted to the leaders of the Storm Knights, Joseph and Val.

nThe two immediately recognized the Overseer and quickly acted…

nSage Merlin knew very well that his opponent was a True Immortal who was masquerading as a Dragon Summoner.

nThey had to act swiftly to succeed. Although he didn’t want to admit it, Sage Merlin miscalculated the strength of the new Immortal. It felt as if he wasn’t being suppressed by the Will of the Human Realm!

nBecause of that, he knew that sending this Immortal to another realm, to keep the balance of the Human Realm, would be challenging to do alone.

nHe needed the assistance of the Pontiff to do that!

nHe immediately attacked the Summoner, or perhaps Immortal Summoner, with his Ice Spells, unleashing a barrage of ice shards, snowflakes, and frostbites.

nHe also released two Ice Spirits, who were as powerful as a First Class Arcanist.

n“Help me kill that person! He’s probably an Immortal, so don’t hold back!” Merlin ordered the two Ice Spirits.

nWithout hesitation, they swiftly flew towards Vale in an attempt to freeze him to death while Merline tried to save the Pontiff!

nThe Ice Spirits were the creations of Sage Merlin, and they were different from other Ice Spirits summoned from another realm.

nHe had used his Divinity, sacrificed souls, and used mystical ice treasures to infuse life and intelligence into two ice sculptures he made.

nNow, they had become Ice Spirits who were loyal and obedient to him, and they followed his commands.

nHowever, Vale didn’t panic after seeing this and swiftly acted. He decided to send out his Ember Spirit and Wind Spirit to fight against the two Ice Spirits!

nThe Ice Spirits used their ice shards, snowflakes, and frostbites to pierce, cut, and freeze their enemies. They also used their ice walls, snowstorms, and icebergs to block, blind, and crush their enemies.

nThe Ember Spirit, on the other hand, used its fireballs, flames, and explosions to burn, scorch, and blast their enemies. The Wind Spirit also used its wind blades, gusts, and tornadoes to slice, push, and spin their enemies.

nThen, As the four Elemental Spirits engaged in battle, Sage Merlin used a short-distance movement technique that allowed him to reach the Pontiff’s side!

nThen, Merlin grabbed the Pontiff’s body, intending to bring him away quickly.

nAt this time, he also felt the Pontiff’s weak pulse, and he felt a surge of pity and relief… He pitied him because, as a fellow Half-Immortal, he probably never considered to be in such a predicament…

nHowever, he was also relived since his plan wouldn’t work if the Pontiff died.

nHe wanted to save the Pontiff and to use him later. He also wanted to get something out of this situation, and he thought that the Pontiff would give a decent reward for this… This reward would certainly benefit his three disciples once he decided to send them out and experience the world.

n‘Alright… Let’s do this…’

nWith this thought, Sage Merlin teleported again and moved to a safe distance from the Immortal Summoner.

nUnfortunately, the outer barrier had already been repaired, and he couldn’t get out so easily.

nAt the same time, he also transferred some of his Divinity to the Pontiff…

n“Immortal Summoner, I think that this is already more than enough. You already taught this person a lesson, and he will no longer return to this place… You can’t kill this person since it will create chaos, and you will only face endless trouble. I’m telling you this now, not because I can’t leave this place with the Pontiff. I just don’t want to waste my Divinity to destroy that barrier… Just give us a path to escape and we will leave… This person will also send his tribute to you every year—No, every month if you wanted.”

nSage Merlin said as he tried to buy some time.

nHe then looked at the Immortal Summoner, ignoring the battle between the Elemental Spirits. .

nHowever, before he could hear the Dragon Summoner’s answer, he felt a sudden pain in his chest.

n“W-what?”

nHe was confused…

nHe slowly looked down, and he saw the Pontiff’s hand gripping his heart.

nAt the same time, he saw the Pontiff’s eyes, and he saw a cold and sinister gleam in them…

n“Y-you!”

nHe realized that he had made a terrible mistake!

nThe Pontiff was already controlled by the Dragon Summoner!

n‘How could a Half-Immortal be controlled so easily! This is impossible! Not even True Immortals could do such a thing this easily!’

nHe had fallen into a trap, and he had been fooled…

nHe had grabbed the Pontiff, thinking that he was unconscious, but he had actually grabbed a puppet, a new weapon of the Immortal Summoner!

nThe Pontiff smiled wickedly, and he spoke in a mocking and cruel voice.

n“Sage Merlin, you are a fool…”

nMerlin wasn’t sure if these words were from the Pontiff or from the mysterious Immortal. However, he knew that he was indeed like a fool for trying to save the Pontiff.

nHe trusted the physique of Half-Immortals too much! They were supposed to be immune against any mind-controlling spells of the Psychics!

nThen, he could only glare at the Pontiff as the latter squeezed his heart.

nHe felt a sharp pain, and he felt his life force draining…

nHe also felt his will slowly fading.

nHe wanted to resist and fight back since he hadn’t even fully shown all his Spells! 𝘪𝘦.𝘤𝑜

nHe had a total of 25 recorded Spell Models and several Artifacts he hadn’t even used yet! However, it was too late. He had lost the battle and was about to perish!

nSage Merlin then looked at the Immortal Summoner, and he saw him chuckling before he closed his eyes.
