After bidding farewell to Mr. Snowman, Mia quickly turned around and threw herself into Baiyi's arms. Hugging his waist tightly, she narrowed her eyes and rubbed her face against his ribs. Baiyi gently stroked the little girl's head and asked, "Did you get scared just now?"
At first, Mia wanted to shake her head but in the end, she nodded her head obediently. Raising her head, she flashed a cute smile at Baiyi and said, "Thank goodness Mr. Snowman arrived in time... Now I'm not afraid anymore." As she said that, she looked down at the hammerhead shark plushie that was still stuck on Baiyi's abdomen, "But, Sharkie got hurt while protecting me..."
"It's his duty," Baiyi replied casually. He took the hammerhead shark plushie off his abdomen and dispelled the Secret Spell, sending the Monster Walker back to the Void. Then, he used his Mana to sew up the wound on the plushie's abdomen. His technique was very skillful and in just a short while, the hammerhead shark plushie was restored to its original appearance but it could no longer move.
"Here, it's done." Baiyi handed the plushie back to Mia.
"Hehe! Thank you, Mr. Hope!" Mia quickly took the plushie and rubbed her face on the plushie's snow-white belly. She said with a hint of regret, "Too bad Sharkie can't move now."
"Don't worry. When you're in danger, he will still come and protect you." Baiyi said as he held Mia's hand and walked towards the campsite. Not only do they want to protect you, they're fighting to be the first to protect you! Not only that, but they're also the strongest in their respective fields! Even the princess of the Empire would not be able to enjoy such treatment, right?
The Divine Warrior and Attie quickly followed suit. Finally, everyone gathered together again.
Baiyi first took a look at the injuries of the Zhang brothers. Zhang San's lung was sliced open by a knife. Although he was saved by the Cleric, his body would be left with internal injuries in the future. It would be very difficult for him to continue being an Adventurer. Perhaps, he would really have to return to his hometown and get married.
As for the others, although they seemed to have a lot of injuries, most of them were just superficial wounds. With a simple treatment from the Cleric and the fruit-flavored potion from the Dole family, they soon regained their mobility.
After waiting for everyone to carry Zhang San, who was still tightly clutching the dragon meat dagger in his hand, into the tent to rest, the priest drank a bottle of magic potion and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead. He sighed in a low voice, "I can finally be of some use. I originally thought that this journey would end peacefully."
On the other side, the warrior pushed a captive who was tied up tightly towards Baiyi and handed him over to him. The captive was one of the cavalrymen who had been chasing after Mia earlier. At that moment, he was so frightened that his soul seemed to have left his body, as if he had seen something extremely horrifying. Even now, his body was still trembling and he could not even stand properly.
His companions, who had gone after Mia with him, were nowhere to be seen. It was not hard to guess where they had gone. After all, the Spirit Behemoth had filled its stomach and left.
"Well done." In the Void, Baiyi said to the somewhat sullen Monster Walker, "Well done, you've completed my arrangement." When he summoned the Monster Walker to the plushie, he had specifically instructed it to do two things. One was not to scare Mia, and the other was to leave a living messenger. Judging from the situation of Mia and the captive, the Monster Walker had done a good job.
After being praised by Baiyi, the Monster Walker became excited all of a sudden. Its consciousness kept swaying as it circled around Baiyi, trying to cling onto him. Baiyi could not stand its dog-like behavior anymore. Quickly, he said, "Alright, alright! I know, I know! I'll feed you bamboo if there's a chance in the future..."
Looks like it still has not given up on its great dream of becoming a panda.
Returning to reality, Baiyi took a look at the pale-faced captive. The captive glanced at him guiltily and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at him. Baiyi turned around and said to Attie who was following behind him, "Ask him what's going on."
When the captive saw the King that he was familiar with, he quickly knelt down in front of Attie's feet. With his head close to the ground, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "My King, save me!" Attie put on the airs of a King again and questioned him repeatedly before explaining the general situation to Baiyi.
The captive was an ordinary cavalryman from the Sprinting Wolf Clan. He had set off early in the morning to hunt down the rescue team. In fact, when Baiyi had caused a ruckus in the King's Palace last night, the Sprinting Wolf Clan had already realized that someone would come to their rescue. So, they sent out scouts to search for the rescue team overnight. Soon, they found the rescue team and sent out the cavalry before dawn the next day.
"Go back and tell your new Khan that the western side of the grassland is a forbidden area. If you violate this rule, you will have to pay the price!" Having said that, he used an extremely precise wind blade to cut off the rope on the captive's body and let him go.
The captive understood that Baiyi wanted him to pass on the message so he quickly ran away. He did not quite understand what Baiyi meant and did not understand why he had to tell the new Khan. He did not even know that the previous Khan had already been killed by a spear.
After the captive had disappeared into the distance, Baiyi turned to the Divine Warrior Zar'Zar and said, "I need Cuckoo to do me a small favor."
Zar'Zar nodded his head and returned to normal. He handed Cuckoo the snow hawk to Baiyi. It seemed like it had forgotten how scared it was earlier and had regained its arrogance.
Baiyi released a long-range detection spell on it. Cuckoo tilted its head and looked at Baiyi curiously. Then, it flapped its wings to make sure that nothing was wrong. Only then did it follow Zar'Zar's instruction and flew back to the sky, heading towards the direction of the King's Court.
At that moment, the King's Court was still in a state of chaos. The Warrior's Gala was definitely not going to be held. The clans that had come over to the Steppe began to pack up their tents, planning to go back and prepare for the new battle for the throne. Among them, the Sprinting Wolf Clan was the first to move. Their remaining people were already rushing back with their wagons full of supplies. They did not know that there was a pair of eyes staring at them through the vision of the snow hawk.
After confirming the location of the remaining Sprinting Wolf Clan, Baiyi took out his Saint Quartz staff and began to chant in a low voice. As he chanted, three formations appeared on his body, one on top of his head, one on his waist and one on the soles of his feet. The formations were filled with complicated runes that modern sorcerers would not be able to understand as they slowly rotated.
With his strength and standard, if he needed to cast a spell with such a complete set of steps, then the power of the spell would be unimaginable.
"This spell... Could it be?" The Scholar in the Void asked hesitantly. "That's impossible, isn't it? Sir Hope only has the power of an Advanced Sorcerer right now. He shouldn't be able to cast this kind of super spell, right? "
The so-called super spell was also a Level 10 spell. People often used another word to refer to it: Forbidden Spell!
"It's been modified and simplified to reduce the amount of power required. It's definitely not a super spell. It should only be Level 7 to Level 8, right? But the power should not be too far off, "The Archmage explained.
As Baiyi was about to finish his incantation, the Amplification runes that he had drawn on his armor began to glow with a dark-red light. The pulsating light quickly gathered on his chest, as if it had been ignited by fire.
Huskar, who had been watching Baiyi from the side, suddenly frowned. Even though he did not know much about magic, he could instinctively feel that a dangerous force was gathering on Baiyi's body, ready to burst out at any time.
As for the others, they did not know what Baiyi was chanting but they could feel a trace of danger. For a moment, they did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would disturb Baiyi.
By the time Baiyi finished his incantation, a layer of burning flame suddenly appeared on the three formations and overlapped on Baiyi's chest. The flames merged with the dark red light that was gathered by the Amplification runes and spread out rapidly, disappearing into the air.
At that moment, Baiyi's incantation had finally come to an end. He slammed his Saint Quartz staff on the ground and chanted the last sentence of the incantation, "The sky shall burn you."
Far above the Sprinting Wolf Clan, a strange fiery red color suddenly appeared in the sky. It was as if the clouds in the sky were on fire. The cavalrymen who were escorting the heavy carriages looked at the strange weather with a strange look on their faces. Just as they were about to discuss what was going on, a thin beam of light pierced through the clouds and landed in the middle of the cavalrymen.
The cavalrymen immediately stopped and pointed at the beam of light, wondering if it was a blessing from the War God.
Obviously, it could not be a blessing. It was a punishment from the heavens!
A circle of red flames with the beam of light as the center quickly descended from the sky and smashed heavily on the ground, completely enveloping the cavalrymen. The sudden burst of heat could even ignite the air. The entire cavalrymen did not even have time to react before they were vaporized. They did not even feel any pain …
Immediately after, the red circle of fire exploded violently, exploding into a tall mushroom cloud. It set off a circle of heat waves made up of lava, surging and spreading in all directions. Behind this circle of magma was the ground that had been completely burned red, as well as the piles of fiery red rocks that were still bursting with sparks. These rocks did not last long under the terrifyingly high temperature, and soon melted into tiny streams of magma that flowed everywhere.
If one were to look at such a scene from the sky, it would look like a burning pupil had suddenly appeared on the green grassland.
At the same time, the Door of Conundrum, the Sorcerer's Association Headquarters and other places had also sensed the strong magical fluctuation and cast their gaze towards the Northern Wasteland.
That was the Fire Forbidden Spell, Harek's Fiery Burial Curse. Although it was a simplified version, with Baiyi sacrificing all the Amplification Runes in his body, the lethality of the spell was not far from the original.
