Chapter 583: Chapter 379 Support
This new Flying Witchcraft, after merging, vaulted directly to the upper Second Rank, becoming one of the highest quality witchcraft Colin currently masters!
In fact, apart from this Flying Witchcraft, he also mastered the Elemental Net, another witchcraft of the upper Second Rank.
Of course, if talking about quality, the Elemental Net, a Combined Witchcraft, is still superior.
In the Silver Chamber, Colin’s body levitated, and a faint blue light spread from around him like waves.
After a moment of contemplation, Colin decided to name the new Flying Witchcraft the Flame Light Flying and Diving Skill.
This new Flying Witchcraft perfectly inherited the original Soaring and Flying Technique’s flexibility in maneuvering and diving capability, as well as the Light Flame Soaring Skill’s suitability for long-distance raids and its ability for short bursts of speed.
Golden Paper produces indeed fine products!
Colin smiled and slowly descended.
Calculating the time, in half a month, the holiday would arrive. By then, with this new Flame Light Flying and Diving Skill, the areas he could reach would undoubtedly expand greatly!
The only pity was, as the rank of the witchcraft rose, the consumption naturally increased as well.
Fortunately, the Meditation Method Colin practiced had the characteristic of increasing Magic Power, barely enough to sustain him.
Ding—!
However, just then, a clear buzzing sound suddenly arose.
Colin was slightly startled. The Silver Chamber under his control hadn’t isolated the sounds from the outside world... This buzzing sound—it seemed to be coming from below?!
Swish!
In the moment he reacted, Colin immediately withdrew the Silver Chamber and hurried to the first floor of the South Three Tower.
Buzz—
The silver Communication Ring Tower was now emitting constant buzzing and faint white light.
Stepping forward briskly, he placed his palm on a protruding slant column on the front of the Communication Ring Tower, extending his spiritual power.
The next moment, a piece of information suddenly appeared in Colin’s mind.
"Intuo City South, near the rice fields, requires support from an Official Wizard."
’This is indeed a distress signal!’
Colin furrowed his brows. Hadn’t there been no attacks for a long time? Why did he encounter one just less than a month after his arrival?
Boom!
The door of the South Three Tower was suddenly opened. Welber, with hurried steps and a face clearly showing alarm, entered.
"Is this... a distress signal?"
"Yes," Colin nodded, somewhat puzzled as to why Welber had suddenly come—today was clearly Sunday.
But now was certainly not the time to dwell on this, he spoke with a grave voice:
"We mustn’t delay; let’s head out."
Having said that, Colin headed towards the outside, and after a moment’s hesitation, Welber followed.
Following the directions on the map, minutes later, they arrived at Intuo City, located in the eastern part of Roon Kingdom.
According to what Erwin had said, the main danger here should be the Underground Cave.
’Underground Cave...’ Colin grew somewhat curious; he had always known about it but had never seen it.
The two looked out from the sky and soon noticed something amiss in a green expanse of rice fields to the south of the city.
But... Colin knitted his brows; it seemed the battle had already ended?
Looking across the fields, which seemed like a green sea, lay a gigantic monster, spider-like but without fine hair. Instead, it had smooth, creased skin like that of a hairless cat from a past life, though it was gray-green, resembling a corpse that had been dead for many days.
In fact, the monster, about three to four meters in diameter, was indeed dead. Between its eyes on its head was a large Black Iron Spear.
The material of the spear seemed not to be particularly good, as the monster’s green blood continuously corroded the shaft, but its dark appearance and substantial size were enough to demonstrate its potency.
A giant over two meters tall was stepping forward, somewhat regretfully pulling out the spear.
Behind him was a group of Knights in Black Armor, and nearby lay some blood-red limb fragments and black armor pieces.
Swish! Swish!
Colin and his companion descended from the sky, landing beside the Guards near the monster’s corpse.
"What happened here?" Welber surveyed the crowd and asked in a deep voice.
A middle-aged man in a Wizard Robe hurriedly came forward from behind the Knights and explained:
"Sir, it was like this, a mutated underground Spider Monster suddenly attacked. Compared to those that appeared before, this one seemed to have special skin, enhanced elemental resistance.
I feared we couldn’t handle it, so I requested reinforcement."
He glanced at a tall figure nearby and added in a complex tone:
"But I didn’t expect... Knight Onions actually succeeded in killing this Spider Monster."
Colin observed Onions, who was silent and holding the spear, standing with his exceptionally larger armor compared to the other knights, like a black iron tower.
"I see."
After confirming that there was no further issue, Welber relaxed a bit, but his expression soon grew stern again as he turned to the middle-aged Apprentice and asked in a stern voice:
"What’s your name?"
"Andy."
"Good, Andy. Do you know the consequences of a false distress call?"
Welber’s face was not pleasant.
Had he not just gone to invite Colin to a Wizard’s gathering that evening, he would have missed this rescue operation.
And if Wizard Erwin found out about this, he would likely not escape a reprimand!
Hearing Welber’s words, Andy’s legs weakened, and his body began to tremble slightly.
"Sir, I didn’t know... When this Spider Monster appeared, I attacked it with the Fireball Technique, but the fireballs, which should have ignited it, were very ineffective. So, I instructed the Knights to hold it off while I turned to call for help.
