Chapter 964: Deputy Team Leader I
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Get lost . ”
Merlin knocked the bald man into the air . Then, without turning his head, he left Mission Hall .
“Hehe, do you understand his abilities now? Do you dare to provoke someone like him? He’s a formidable individual who just killed Blackbat . How unexpected for such a formidable individual to emerge from the Logistics Team . ”
A sneer rang out amongst the crowd which revealed Merlin’s true identity .
“He killed Blackbat? No wonder he’s so intimidating . In that case, I don’t resent my defeat!”
The bald man was surprisingly willing to accept defeat . His opponent was a powerful existence who was capable of vanquishing a full-shifter, so his defeat was to be expected .
However, based on the formidable abilities wielded by Merlin, he was most probably of a high-tier almighty beast bloodline .
Merlin did not concern himself . Instead, he headed straight to the Logistics Team . After all, he was technically still a member of the Logistics Team .
The moment he arrived at the Logistics Team, Belle stood up with a smile . She spoke to Merlin, “Wow, here comes our hero . Leon, you really kept your abilities well-hidden . I can’t believe you killed both Orsato and Blackbat . Tsk, someone of your caliber shouldn’t stay in the Logistics Team . The Minister has issued orders for you to join the Combat Team with immediate effect, as Deputy Team Leader!”
“The Minister?”
Although Merlin knew that the person-in-charge of Phantom was a highly mysterious Minister, the Minister had never made an appearance, nor did Merlin ever met him throughout his time in Phantom .
The Minister of Phantom was one of the prominent figureheads of the entire Holy Dragon City and was extremely respected by the royal family . Anyone who was not yet a full-shifter did not qualify to even speak to him .
However this time, Merlin’s defeat over Blackbat had proven his abilities . Thus, Merlin was now qualified to be assessed by the Minister .
“The Deputy Team Leader of the Combat Team? What is that about?”
Merlin frowned . How did this position of deputy team leader suddenly come about?
“It’s the Minister’s orders . He transferred you to the Combat Team as their Deputy Team Leader . ”
Suddenly, the long-absent Lotus appeared . Her face was still unfriendly, though there was a subtle reaction when she saw Merlin .
After all, Merlin’s battle outcome had been absolutely astonishing . Orsato was of a mid-tier almighty beast bloodline and a Fourth-form shifter, whereas Blackbat was an even more impressive full-shifter .
Upon becoming a full-shifter, wherever the individual went, he or she would be considered a leader or an overlord . Even within Phantom, the full-shifters were prominent leaders .
Even though Lotus was the Team Leader of the Logistics Team, she had not achieved a full-shift . Of course, it was also because the Logistics Team did not engage in combat, so they did not require any powerful abilities .
However, the Team Leaders of the Investigation Team, Combat Team, and even the Research Team were all full-shifter existences . They were the most prominent existences beneath the Minister . On the contrary, positions such as Deputy Commander sounded more patronizing .
As for the Minister, he was the figurehead of the entire Holy Dragon City . He controlled a colossal force, which was Phantom . His position was highly envied .
It was a positive development now that Merlin had been noticed by the mysterious Minister . Moreover, he designated Merlin to helm the position as Deputy Team Leader of the Combat Team . This position was not easily achievable by ordinary people . The number of resources available to Merlin would be unimaginable .
Most of the team members in the Combat Team were crazily passionate and remarkably powerful . All of them possessed fearsome combat skills . So, this opportunity represented the mysterious Minister’s high opinion of Merlin .
“Team Leader Lotus, should I go to the Combat Team now then?”
“Yes, go now . Those guys in the Combat Team are no saints . ”
With that, Lotus left . She had only taken care of Merlin for a while on Heroult’s behalf, but unexpectedly, Merlin was powerful beyond her imagination .
“Belle, has there been any news about Deputy Commander Heroult?”
Merlin looked at Lotus’ mannerisms and formed an educated guess in his heart . Most probably, something bad had happened to Heroult .
Sure enough, Belle shook her head . “A while ago, we received news about the Deputy Commander . Deputy Commander Heroult’s mission failed, and the entire squad perished…”
Merlin fell silent . He finally understood why Lotus appeared so lethargic and dispassionate . It turned out that Heroult had met with a catastrophe .
Regarding Heroult, Merlin owed him some gratitude . Without Heroult’s help, Merlin would not have succeeded in parasitism, and would not have been able to proceed smoothly in this world, Additionally, Heroult also recruited him into Phantom .
If he ever found out who killed Heroult, Merlin was willing to avenge his death .
“Very well, I’ll report to the Combat Team . ”
Merlin did not rush to redeem his Nourishment Pond materials but instead headed to the Combat Team first . The Combat Team had always been the strongest department in Phantom . It consisted of very fierce individuals .
Since Merlin had never really met these people, he made his way to the Combat Team .
The Combat Team was situated very far apart from the Logistics Team . Merlin asked for directions along the way and finally arrived at the Combat Team . Inside the room, there was a huge platform . Two Fourth-form shifters were engaged in an intense fight .
However, both of them were of low-tier almighty beast bloodlines . While the sparring was intense, their abilities were not very strong . Merlin lost interest after a while .
Following that, Merlin continued to move . There were a few other platforms . The contenders on these platforms were much stronger . They were mostly of mid-tier almighty beast bloodlines . Some of them were Third-form shifters, and some were Fourth-form shifters .
Once a person possessing a mid-tier almighty beast bloodline achieved Fourth-form shifter, he or she was considered a strong contender . Even in the Combat Team, they constituted the backbone strength .
Nonetheless, Merlin was not very interested . Despite walking around for a long time now, no one bothered to question him . It seemed like everyone was just wildly engrossed with sparring .
“I guess this is truly the Combat Team . The atmosphere is vastly different . ”
Merlin looked around . On most of the platforms, there were only skirmishes . Very few people were sitting idly . Even those on the platform who saw Merlin only took a casual glance at him and continued their sparring .
Therefore, after entering this place for such a long time, no one had yet to greet Merlin .
“What do you think? The members of the Combat Team are quite good, right? But I guess you won’t be too interested in this bunch . ”
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice spoke behind Merlin . Merlin jumped slightly . There was someone who snuck up to him unnoticed .
Quickly, he turned around and saw a plain-looking but very fair-skinned man . His skin was so fair that he resembled a woman .
“Who are you?” Merlin asked grudgingly, keeping his vigilance against the person who appeared out of nowhere .
The fair-skinned man crooked into a smile, revealing pearly white teeth . “Deputy Team Leader Leon, would you like to practice? I’ve not practiced for a very long time . Even in the Combat Team, it’s not easy to come across a strong contender who is comparable to a full-shifter . ”
The moment this man’s lips parted into a grin, a sign of danger rose in Merlin’s heart .
