While the Charnhorst battleship was searching for the missing nun, thousands of miles away in the United Kingdom, in a dark crypt.
Three male wizards knelt on the ground with their backs facing each other. Their hands were raised and twisted into strange postures. Below their knees were circles of sacrificial circles. The circles shone with a faint green light and constantly absorbed life energy from the nostrils of the three sacrificed people. The life energy floated in the air and was constantly absorbed by a vortex-shaped image fragment.
A flickering figure sat on a chair and stared at a transparent vortex-shaped image fragment without blinking.
In the image fragment, there was an industrial hall filled with steam and gears. In the hall, there were countless clocks and hourglasses everywhere. In the center of the hall, there was a huge golden celestial globe. The celestial globe rotated slowly. Every time it rotated, there would be a flash of white lightning in the hall.
Countless wizards in standard robes stood under the rotating giant celestial globe and waved their magic wands. Every time they waved their magic wands, a clock or gear would change its position. They seemed to be holding some kind of sacred religious ceremony or conducting some unknown magic experiment.
"A grand plan … Hmph." Behind the image fragment, the flickering figure muttered.
Footsteps sounded.
Another tall figure appeared beside the black figure. "Leviathan is ready. If nothing goes wrong, you will never see him again."
"If nothing goes wrong?"
The black figure sneered. "No, there will definitely be an accident."
"I have seen the strength of that monster. No one can escape," the woman said in a low voice.
"Do you want me to be careless? Sister, "the black figure said with a cold tone.
"No, you misunderstood. I just think that you haven't slept for so many days. Maybe you need to rest."
"A real wizard never rests. I believe that Bach can find a loophole and carry out the backup plan."
After a moment of silence, the woman asked in a low voice, "But what if he can't come out?"
"Then it means that he is only so-so. He is not worthy to be my opponent."
.....
.....
"Chloe!?"
Hoffa slowly stood up from the ship and called out his companion's name uneasily, but his companion did not respond.
There was a thick layer of fog in front of him. The fog distorted the sun, and it was like a wall between the forest and the beach on the deserted island. The visibility was only five or six meters, but the only thing he could see was that it was not pure seawater under his feet, but a white beach.
There were some round boulders on the beach, and some seaweed that had been dried by the sun hung on the boulders. Countless seabirds were flying and circling in the sky. They were chirping, not afraid of humans at all.
While he was unconscious, the lifeboat was washed to an unknown island.
The wound Dominic had given him was still throbbing with pain. Ignoring the soreness in his body, he struggled to climb up the slippery giant rock. Step by step, he stepped on the seawater and walked to the beach. There was not a single blade of grass growing on the sandy land here. The road was bumpy and uneven, with potholes appearing from time to time. It was very difficult to walk.
He walked and stopped on the beach. Sometimes, he would call out, and sometimes, he would listen carefully to see if there were any unusual sounds in the sea other than the screeching of seagulls and herons. In his opinion, if Chloe had already come ashore, he should at least know where he was.
He listened carefully, but other than the sound of the seawater and the occasional screeching of seagulls, there were no other sounds.
Then, he saw a row of footprints on the beach.
He thought it was Chloe's, but upon closer inspection, the footprints were very large. They were left by a grown man, and there were also traces of someone being dragged behind. He became cautious and followed the footprints without saying a word.
Not long after, he saw two other unfamiliar people. They were wearing wet black wizard robes. One of them had a strong physique and was standing on the beach at high tide. He was covered in sand and looked like a boatman.
The other one, who was skinnier, was dragged out of the water. He leaned weakly on his companion's arm and coughed non-stop.
As he coughed, the wizard who was dragging him saw Hoffa standing not far away. He let go of his companion and took out his magic wand, pointing it at him while trembling.
The wizard who was being dragged fell back into the sea and choked on a few mouthfuls of seawater. He then staggered up from the sand and took out his magic wand.
It was the German Dark Sorcerers. They had followed him to this small island.
Huo Fa flashed to the back of the reef and leaned against it. The magic gloves had been taken away by Chloe, and the wounds on his body hadn't healed yet. This was not a good time to fight.
"Come out."
The two black robes on the beach weren't in good condition either. They raised their magic wands and vomited seawater while shouting in German.
He poked his head out from behind the reef and glanced at them.
The two Dark Sorcerers waved their wands as soon as they saw him emerge from the crowd.
"Shatter them all!"
"Drill the wrist bone!"
Hoffa quickly retracted his head and leaned against the reef.
However, after waiting for a while, he still didn't hear the sound of magic hitting the reef. He also didn't feel any magic oscillation. There was only the monotonous sound of the waves hitting the reef.
So he poked his head out again. The two dark wizards were checking their magic wands under the sun with puzzled expressions. It was like a muggle checking a submerged gun.
Seeing him poke his head out again, the two German wizards who were checking the wands nervously waved their wands. "Removing your weapon, Avatar Life, faint …"
Countless spells came out of their mouths as if they didn't cost money.
Hoffa retracted his head again.
He waited for a while with a tense heart, but still no magic spell appeared. The waves hit the reef, making crashing sounds. It was as if the three of them were the only ones left in the world.
Something was wrong.
For some reason, the two wizards didn't release any magic. He didn't know what was going on, but since the enemy was in trouble, Hoffa naturally wouldn't be merciful. He immediately jumped out from behind the rock and clenched his hand into a claw.
The two black robes saw him raise his hand and thought he was going to cast a transformation spell. They immediately fell to the ground and rolled back awkwardly, hiding behind a reef.
But after they hid, they stuck their heads out and saw that the ground wasn't deformed. Nothing happened.
The sea breeze blew past the young man on the reef. He raised his right arm, his left hand still holding the wrist of his right arm. He looked like a muggle with eighth-grader syndrome.
The two black robes behind the reef also raised their magic wands and looked around vigilantly. The two sides fell into a silent confrontation. The scene was strange, like a silent movie comedy.
About three seconds passed.
A trace of cold sweat flowed down Hoffa's head.
Something was wrong. He couldn't use magic. Instead of saying he couldn't use magic, it was more like his body was hollowed out. This was completely different from the experience of drinking the Antimagic Potion. The Antimagic Potion blocked the use of his mana. It was as if mana flowed naturally into his body, and then flowed from his body back into nature. His body was like a leaking balloon, unable to store any mana.
Was it because Chloe took away his magic gloves?
He thought of this. Although this was completely different from the lack of magic, he couldn't find any other explanation.
"Aldo, that kid can't hold on any longer. Strike first!"
"Okay!"
The two black wizards in the distance saw that the young man couldn't use magic. They looked at each other and put away their magic wands. They picked up a piece of wood from the ground that was washed up by the sea and rushed towards Hoffa.
Seeing the two adult wizards rushing towards him with big sticks as thick as his thigh, Hoffa immediately jumped off the reef and ran away without looking back.
"Damned swindler, don't let me find you …!"
As he ran, he cursed Chloe viciously. He also cast a Transfiguration Charm, a Shield Charm, or other transfiguration charms.
None of them could be used.
"Stop!"
"Little thing! Hand over Lemour! "
One of the wizards fell, and the other helped him up from the beach and continued the chase.
Hoffa clutched the wound on his abdomen and limped pathetically on the beach, his eyes darting around. I need a weapon, I need a weapon … Damn it!
As if hearing his prayer, the reflection of metal came from the beach in the distance. He focused his eyes and looked.
Dominic's greatsword hadn't sunk to the bottom of the sea. Instead, it was washed up on the beach, half buried in the sand.
He was overjoyed. Stepping on the waves, he rushed into the shallows and grasped the hilt of the greatsword. Bit by bit, he pulled it out of the sand.
Thankfully, he never slacked off on his physical training. This heavy weapon didn't crush him at this crucial moment.
With a weapon in hand, he felt more confident. He stopped running and looked back with a smirk.
The two black robes saw him kneeling on the beach and thought that he had nowhere to go, so they started praying. When they got closer, they raised their clubs and smashed them down.
The two were less than three meters apart. Huo Dun, who was kneeling on the ground, swung his greatsword. With a flash, the rotten wood was cut in half. A few maggots hung from the cut.
Only then did the two Black Sorcerers release the extra weapons in Huo Fa's hands.
"Anker …"
"Let's go!"
The moment they saw how powerful the weapons on the other side were, they immediately threw away their wooden clubs and rushed towards the forest in the distance without looking back.
"Trying to run?"
Hoffa, who had the upper hand, didn't want to let them go. He dragged his greatsword and chased after them.
The greatsword weighed almost thirty kilograms. Furthermore, he was injured, so he ran very slowly. Thankfully, the two wizards had just climbed out of the sea and were in bad shape. Their footsteps were swaying left and right, so they couldn't speed up.
The three of them rushed into the forest at the speed of a tortoise.
The plants in the forest were lush and green, covering the sky and the sun. Most of them were strange and ancient ferns that couldn't even be named. Some palm-sized flying insects were flying in the air. It was like an alien scene.
Hoffa, who was in a frenzy, didn't notice the strange scenery around him. He gritted his teeth and looked like he was going to kill the two wizards.
After passing through the dense and strange forest, they came to a dry sandy riverbed. They rushed down the narrow riverbank and suddenly opened up. The ground turned into endless yellow sand.
The two black robes ran and picked up sand from the ground and threw it behind them.
Dust billowed and Hoffa's vision was blocked. He knew that things weren't going well. The terrain was so open. If the two of them chose to run separately, who should he chase?
Just as he was worried that they would split up and run.
In the smoke and dust ahead, the two black-robed men actually returned and charged straight at Huo Fa.
This suicidal stance actually scared him for a moment. He thought that the other party suddenly wanted to fight to the death, so he immediately swung his cross blade in a circle.
However, he immediately understood why the two of them had returned.
Behind the two black-robed Magi, several gigantic worms spiraled out of the dust cloud. Their bodies were several meters long and were extremely frightening.
* Rumble! *
Not only that, but on the dry riverbank, numerous holes suddenly appeared. Giant sand worms and creatures with many legs crawled out from the holes. They wriggled and intertwined with each other. Their multi-layered mouthparts were filled with sharp teeth, and they secreted acid saliva that made one's stomach churn.
"Damn it!"
He cursed and didn't care about the two German Magi. He turned around and ran towards the forest in the distance.
Soon, the two black robed Magi brushed past Hoffa and left him behind. Hoffa gritted his teeth and looked at the large cross blade in his hand. He endured the pain and threw it to the ground.
After losing more than 30 kilograms of weight, his footsteps became lighter. Thus, he caught up with the two Magi in front of him.
One of the two Magi had red hair, while the other had golden hair.
The red-haired Magi saw that the young man was about to overtake them after throwing away his weapon, so he suddenly stepped forward and tried to trip him.
While running, he didn't forget to trip him!
Hoffa jumped up and kicked the red-haired Magi in the waist, causing him to fall to the ground. Without looking back, he ran into the forest.
"Anker!"
The golden-haired Magi quickly helped the red-haired Magi up.
The red-haired Magi clutched his waist, "Let's go, quickly!"
Hoffa took the lead and ran into the forest. At this moment, in every corner of the damp and dark forest, there were all kinds of insects of different sizes. Most of them were giant insects about the size of an adult. They looked like centipedes or centipedes. Under the sunlight, their hooked legs shone like a Sparkle.
Damn it, did I fall into a nest of insects?
He wasn't afraid of the insects, but he was shocked by the frightening number of insects. Thus, he ran with all his might towards the beach. The insects were sharp and accurate as they followed him, and their numbers increased.
Soon, they formed a black mass, so much so that he couldn't even see the original appearance of the forest.
After returning to the beach, his gaze locked onto a reef in the shallow sea. The reef was in the middle of the turbulent waves and seemed to be safe.
Looking back at the insects that were about to occupy the beach, Hoffa jumped into the shallow sea without hesitation and swam towards the reef. The insects that were chasing him stopped on the beach, either waving their sharp claws or spitting acid. However, they didn't enter the water.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
However, before he could think about what was going on with this island, the sound of water splashing could be heard from afar.
It turned out to be the two German Magi. They had also escaped from the insect-infested island and were scrambling to swim towards the reef that they had their eyes on.
This made Hoffa turn pale with fright. He immediately increased the speed of his paddling, and the two Magi naturally did the same.
In the end, almost at the same time that Hoffa stood on the reef, the two Magi also stood on the reef.
