Chapter 643: Chapter 408: Starting Early (6k Big Chapter!)
"Lord Adams of the Adams Family, if you stop now, there might still be room to turn back." Erwin suddenly spoke in a cold voice.
He recognized this wizard, not knowing his name, but knew he was from the Yista School within the Adams Family.
"As the Lord of Roon, acknowledged by the Supreme Council, even the Adams Family may not be able to handle the consequences of killing the Lord of Roon. Have you thought this through?"
Erwin continued to press on, his expression stern.
It was most likely that things would not end well today, but if he could delay them temporarily and get them back to Golden Barley, then even if a Third Rank Wizard arrived, they could not act rashly.
"Room to turn back?" Com suddenly laughed, then whispered with an ambiguous meaning: "You have no idea what great goals the Adams Family is striving for... Killing a mere Lord of Roon is negligible."
Erwin furrowed his brows, pondering the hidden meaning behind Com’s words, but then he heard Colin suddenly exclaim, "Be careful!"
Swoosh!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
There was no more time to think about the meaning of Com’s words. Erwin focused and saw creature after creature, whose presence was no less than the previously encountered blood-red Bear Monsters, suddenly emerge from the shadows behind Com.
Three on the left, three on the right, they charged towards Colin and the others with ferocity, forming an encircling stance.
Colin finally understood where the rustling sounds he had vaguely heard were coming from.
Each of these polluted monsters had a unique appearance, but all had some beastly features—
A brown long snake covered in tentacles, a skinless forest panther whose blood mouth could open into four parts, a spiky fox with multiple tails, as well as wild boars and centipedes.
Plus Com in the middle, making a total of seven Second Rank Advanced opponents!
Erwin’s complexion suddenly changed. His eyes flickered, and remembering Jennifer’s description, he still decided to stand his ground and prepare for combat, only instructing the other family members behind him to return to the Secret Realm for cover.
"Grandfather, Lord Colin, be careful," Jennifer said with worry, glancing at them. Knowing she was a burden, she quickly followed the other First Rank Wizards into the Secret Realm.
The monsters were now close at hand, their terrifying appearance causing fear, and the foul stench carried by the wind was nauseating.
Erwin’s expression tightened, his heart rate slightly increased as he braced himself for battle.
"Lord Erwin, I leave these monsters to you, um... remember to keep it a secret for me." At that moment, Colin suddenly spoke softly.
Then, as Erwin watched confused, five blazing Flame Shadows leapt out from the shadows, and then, Colin once again gently waved his hand, and a Second Rank Advanced common Fire Element appeared before him.
Six fiery silhouettes perfectly matched the six polluted creatures. Erwin’s pupils contracted slightly, already aware of Colin’s powerful witchcraft from Jennifer.
But six? Weren’t there only five?
The next moment, Erwin noticed that the last Fire Element seemed different from the rest.
But that no longer mattered. He watched Colin’s figure, his mind churning... What kind of witchcraft was this, possessing such formidable power!?
Erwin was utterly astonished, yet his movements were not the slightest bit delayed. He nodded solemnly to Colin and then flew towards the weakest-looking centipede monster.
He had thought that seven against seven would be a tough fight, but now that Colin had summoned an additional Second Rank Advanced Fire Element, the delicate balance was immediately disrupted.
Now, they could easily create a two-on-one situation locally, breaking them down one by one!
Contrary to Erwin’s slightly elated mood, Com’s complexion at the moment turned especially ugly.
Impossible... He had never heard of any witchcraft that could summon so many same-rank creatures at once— and even if such a thing existed, the conditions for its use must be extremely harsh. How could a mere Golden Feather of the Tin Saint School possess such powerful witchcraft?!
But there was still a chance to win... Com watched as Colin approached him alone, a stroke of luck in his heart.
He didn’t know why Erwin had not joined Colin to attack together, but this undoubtedly gave him a chance. If he could quickly kill Colin, then...
Swoosh!
Suddenly, Com felt a bone-chilling coolness on his back, making his heart skip a beat. He quickly dodged to the side, his body breaking out in cold sweat.
Could there be other helpers?
Colin’s expression was solemn. He took advantage of Com’s momentary dodge to close in for an attack!
Erwin was focused on dealing with the monsters and didn’t have time to pay attention here. He wasn’t planning on holding back any longer, aiming for a quick resolution!
Com’s reckless demeanor raised sincere unease in him, as if some conspiracy that he had not detected was brewing in the shadows!
Renee, her sisters, and Nasi were all still in Golden Barley. If Com’s behind-the-scenes scheme was happening there, that would be terrible!
Boom!
Colin swung a punch. Now, among the abilities he possessed, the one with the single most powerful attack was not some witchcraft, but this very ordinary punch.
The punch was plain and unremarkable, devoid of any pyrotechnics. However, the air along the small forearm suddenly flashed with white traces, as if coating the fist with a silver outline. Then, the air at the tip of the fist rapidly compressed, forming a conical vortex as if the space itself was wailing.
"Not good!" Com realized the horror of this punch. His pupils sharply contracted as he tried to dodge to the side with all his might.
Swoosh!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
However, several Frost Shadows quietly emerged, completely blocking his way.
