"Quick, hurry up, the people on the Violet Flame Island can't hold any longer!"
In the vast blue sky, ten or more Spell Casters' bodies were flashing with intense Wind elements . They were using their quick pace possible to fly toward the Violet Flame Island .
Spell Casters who could fly were at least Fourth-level Wizards . From the color of the robes that they were wearing, one could tell that they were gray-robed Wizards from Fort Udon . Additionally, they were not any gray-robed Wizards – they were Middle gray-robed Wizards, Fifth-level Spell Casters!
More than ten Fifth-level Spell Casters hurriedly rushed toward the Violet Flame Island . This alone was enough to tell how precarious the situation on the Violet Flame Island was .
Leading the way was a slightly stout-looking brown-haired Spell Caster . His facial expression was rather serious, and his eyes looked worried sick .
Some of the other Fifth-level Spell Casters saw how anxious the brown-haired Spell Caster looked and gently shook their heads . The brown-haired Spell Caster was Wizard Bosetta . Wizard Bayton on the Violet Flame Island was Wizard Bosetta's younger brother . Hence, when he received Wizard Bayton's message, in an instant, Wizard Bosetta requested Fort Udon's high-ranked officials to let him lead some ten other Middle gray-robed Wizards to the island .
The only thing was, everybody knew the Violet Flame Island was very far away . Even if they tried their best to rush the journey, it would still require half a day's time to reach there . It was feared that by the time they arrived, the Spell Casters on the Violet Flame Island would have already been completely wiped out by the sea beasts .
"Bayton, you got to hold on!"
Wizard Bosetta's eyes gazed at the direction of Violet Flame Island as he mumbled softly .
…
"Swoosh!"
The figure in the distance started becoming clearer in view . Wizard Bayton's expression changed slightly as he immediately recalled that a few days ago, there was a Spell Caster who had just arrived on the Violet Flame Island, who then left to search for Lava Soil .
"Wizard Merlin, leave now, it's very dangerous here!"
Merlin abruptly halted his steps, and gently scanned his surroundings . He saw the barbaric scene on the beach . There were dead bodies of Spell Casters and carcasses of sea beasts everywhere . A foul bloody stench permeated the air .
Wizard Bayton saw Merlin freeze in place, so he sounded more pressing as he exclaimed, "Wizard Merlin, you own the gold-lined robe . You're a Spell Caster who's highly valued by even the fort leaders . You can't die here!"
Wizard Bayton did not realize at all that right behind him, was a gigantic sea beast with six eyes on its head, creeping toward him .
"Bayton, watch out!"
"Wizard Bayton, move away fast! That's a ruthless six-eyed venomous beast!"
Some of the Spell Casters anxiously shouted upon noticing the six-eyed venomous beast behind Wizard Bayton . This six-eyed venomous beast could match the powers of a Fourth-level Spell Caster . All of its six eyes could expel black venom, and when touched by those, one's death would be inevitable . It was one of the most terrifying sea beasts among the wave of invading sea beasts this time around .
"Hooo…"
The six eyes on the venomous beast's head immediately started emitting odd illuminations . Shortly after, it forcefully ejected puffs of poisonous mist, which began shrouding toward Wizard Bayton in an instant .
The poisonous black mist moved with great speed . By the time Wizard Bayton realized it, it was already too late . He did not have any time to even cast a Defensive spell .
Tranquility was expressed on Wizard Bayton's face . He gently closed his eyes, accepting that the mist was about to consume him, the venomous mist-shrouded him and was ready to devour Wizard Bayton at any moment .
"Kchak!"

Yet, at that moment, a sense of coldness made Wizard Bayton feel chilly all over his body . Then, the poisonous mist that he braced himself for did not latch onto his body .
Wizard Bayton immediately opened his eyes, but all he could see was the puff of pitch-black venomous mist frozen into pieces of ice crystals . These ice crystals encased the poisonous mist, falling onto the ground in succession .
"Wizard Merlin?"
Wizard Bayton looked at Merlin in surprise, albeit knowing that Merlin was a Spell Caster with the gold-lined robe . He was acknowledged by the fort leaders themselves and was an invincible presence among Fourth-level Spell Casters .
Nonetheless, one had to witness Merlin in action with their own eyes to really feel the astonishing experience!
"Wizard Bayton, leave these sea beasts to me . The fort leaders have given me the gold-lined robe, it can't just be a decoration right?"
Merlin flashed a confident smile on his face . He was not someone who could be easily touched, but in Fort Udon, observing Wizard Bayton, the plump Wizard, and the resolve of the others had really warmed his heart .
The camaraderie in Fort Udon made even Merlin feel very comfortable . Though he had only just met Wizard Bayton and the rest and had only chatted briefly, it still left a huge impression on Merlin .
If he had not encountered them, he could have just walked away . However, since he was there, Merlin simply could not be a bystander, especially after viewing the situation moments ago . This wave of sea beasts may have come in large numbers, but none of them could equal a Fifth-level Spell Caster's power .
As long as there were no sea beasts who could match a Fifth-level Spell Caster, Merlin was confident that even him alone was enough to take care of all those sea beasts .
"Darkness Tide!"
Merlin's confidence stemmed from Darkness Tide . With the enhancement from Darkness Heart complemented by Darkness Tide's very own illusion effects, Merlin's Darkness Tide was capable of plunging even Fourth-level Spell Casters into a realm of illusion .
These sea beasts were not like the Two-headed Infant that Merlin had encountered before either because none of them had especially strong Mind Power . Therefore, Merlin's Darkness Tide could cast these evil beasts into illusions pretty easily .

The lights started twisting, and darkness fell instantaneously . It was just like strong continuous water currents, almost completely engulfing a huge half of the beach . The affected zone was entirely pitch-dark . Besides Merlin, no one else could see what was happening clearly .
"It's Wizard Merlin who has acted!"
Spell Casters who were left on the Violet Flame Island was about sixteen people, and these sixteen were among the strongest Spell Casters . Except for a few black-robed Spell Casters, there were a good thirteen gray-robed Spell Casters .
It also meant that a majority of them were Fourth-level Spell Casters, and only these mighty Fourth-level Spell Casters were capable of holding on until the end . After seeing Merlin in action, they slowly gathered, their eyes gleaming with expectation .
The plump Wizard wiped off the fresh blood on his cheeks, a weird expression flashing in his eyes as he muttered, "A Spell Caster with gold-lined robe, the strongest of all Fort Udon Fourth-level Spell Casters . Let's see if he can hold off these sea beasts solo?"
"Solo? Even a Fifth-level Wizard won't be able to accomplish that… However, a holder of the gold-lined robe can't exactly be conjectured with common sense . "
These Wizards may find it hard to believe that Merlin could hold off the endless wave of sea beasts alone, but they were quite convinced with Fort Udon's gold-lined robe . In Fort Udon, Spell Casters with gold-lined robes were a rare sight, but all of them were unimaginable geniuses, often capable of creating all sorts of wonders .
Therefore, they held a degree of anticipation for Merlin .
"He's using Darkness-type spells? Turns out that Wizard Merlin is also a Spell Caster skilled at Darkness-type spells . If that's so, then no matter how large a troop the sea beasts were, I'm afraid they would still not cause Wizard Merlin any harm . "
Wizard Bayton could be considered a knowledgeable person, who had seen many things . He knew the specialty of Darkness-type Wizards . With the engulfment of a single Darkness-type spell, if it succeeded in casting the enemies into a realm of illusion, there would be nothing left but to await their eventual slaughter .
Thus, once these sea beasts were hurled into the realm of illusion, a larger number would not have that much of an impact .
As for Merlin's confidence, it had indeed stemmed from Darkness Tide . The overwhelming Darkness Tide concentrated countless Darkness elements, enveloping a big half of the beach . The sea beasts which were still brutal just moments ago fell silent, and one after another, their eyes expressed a kind of sluggishness .

Success! The sea beasts were all plunged into an illusion, with only Merlin unaffected . He could also see in the dark, observing the state of the sea beasts .
Darkness-type spells were especially devastating when used by Darkness-type Wizards who had Darkness Heart . Unless one's Mind Power was super strong and was unaffected by the illusion realm, otherwise, encountering a Darkness-type Wizard would only mean a dead end .
Every type of spell had their own uniqueness . Merlin also happened to have cultivated Darkness Heart, so now, his Darkness-type spells were incredibly powerful . Nonetheless, to exterminate these sea beasts, merely plunging them into illusions alone was not even close to enough .
These sea beasts were not like those Spell Casters . Their bodies were very strong and resilient . Merlin's First or even Second-level spells would, sadly, only eliminate a small proportion of sea beasts with bodies that were not as tough .
Still, there was a large proportion of sea beasts which had extremely tough bodies and were able to withstand Merlin's First-level and Second-level spells . By that time, it would require spells with greater damaging power .
Merlin's Wizardry level was quite low but he possessed the hugely destructive Pandora Demon Abilities!
"Pandora Demon Ability, Fiery Collapse!"
Merlin did not hesitate for a second as Fireball from within his body and the Magic Power from Furious Flame's Spell Model were almost drained to half . Then, a blaze of white flames spiraled upward fiercely within the pitch-dark space .
It burned ferociously and looked as though the entire dark space had now turned into an ocean of flames in the blink of an eye . Within the white flames, there was the occasional smell of burning flesh . The remaining ten or more Spell Casters watched with their eyes wide-open, mouths agape .
They could clearly feel the dangerously high temperature transmitted within those streaks of white flames . Even if they cast Fourth-level Defensive spells, it would still be difficult to shield these flames .
After about half an hour, the Magic Power in Merlin's body was completely exhausted . Fiery Collapse consumed way too much Fire-type Magic Power . Based on the current Fireball and Furious Flame's Spell Models in Merlin's body, the two mere Spell Models, of which one was a Zero-level spell, the other a First-level spell, it was logical that he could not hold on much longer .
Therefore, Merlin had no choice but to gradually cease his casting of Fiery Collapse . Luckily it came at a time when the sea beasts were mostly incinerated into ashes by his Fiery Collapse .
"Hooo…"
Merlin reached out a hand and waved, dispersing Darkness Tide . Thus, the Darkness-type elements dissipated swiftly . The actual conditions on the half of the beach that was initially covered by darkness too slowly came into everybody's view .
