Chapter 41 The Island, The Formal Wizard
Before becoming a wizard, Leo already possessed the combat power to suppress the Grand Knight.
After becoming a wizard, Leo found it much easier to deal with Eiffel.
Leo swung his magic-powered greatsword, cleaving several knights in half at the waist.
After being repelled, Eiffel, with his weapon broken, actually grabbed the broken weapon and attacked Leo again.
A fierce glint flashed in Leo's eyes as he brandished his greatsword and spun around.
Eiffel was immediately decapitated.
Leo himself was a Pros, and in his memory, he had been on the battlefield countless times.
They show absolutely no mercy when they strike.
Hughes, holding a shield formed from his magical hand, was constantly blocking the knights' attacks.
Hughes's Magic Hand shield cannot release mental radiation, so he can only defend himself against the knights' attacks.
These knights were all very strong, and Hughes didn't have the physique of a Protoss like Leo. So, although he managed to defend against the knights' attacks with his shield, his arms were already numb after enduring their powerful blows, and he could barely hold onto the shield. Moreover, the impact made him feel so uncomfortable that he was about to vomit blood.
However, Hughes was quite tough and didn't call for Leo to come and save him.
He also knew that the only person he could rely on right now was Leo.
If Leo gets distracted and accidentally gets injured, then there will truly be no way to save him.
Finally, just as Hughes was about to give up, suddenly, a sharp, cold glint of a weapon flashed, and the two knights in front of him were decapitated.
Leo stood before Hughes, brandishing his magic-wielding longsword, his body untouched by blood.
"The knights have already taken care of it."
Hughes glanced at the battle situation around him.
Looking at Eiffel's decapitated body, he clicked his tongue in amazement.
It's hard to say whether the Wizard is stronger or Leo is stronger now.
Hughes felt that even if he became a wizard, he wouldn't be able to deal with the Great Knight as easily as Leo could.
For Leo, the battle just now was completely risk-free and an absolute crushing defeat.
Leo glanced at the corpses of the knights around him.
He wasn't sure if the knights were still able to move even after being stabbed to death.
So Leo walked to the corpses of these knights, raised his longsword, and cut off the hands and feet of one of the knights.
Upon seeing this, Hughes was startled and exclaimed, "Leo, are they still moving even though they're corpses?"
Leo shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it's a possibility. You should also pick up your sword and help deal with these corpses."
Upon hearing this, Hughes took the greatsword from the corpse of a knight nearby.
However, the knight's greatsword was very heavy, and when Hughes drew it, his body was not very stable and he swayed.
Hughes let out a series of "Ahhh!" sounds, nearly dropping his greatsword.
With great effort, Hughes raised his greatsword and swung it down, decapitating a knight.
Just as Hughes raised his greatsword again, preparing to find his next target, he heard Leo say, "The body has been disposed of, Hughes. You wait here, I'll go check other places."
Upon hearing Leo's words, Hughes immediately collapsed to the ground, and the magic hand shield in his hand vanished instantly.
As soon as Leo turned around, he saw a slender figure leap from the ship into the sea.
Leo rushed over and stood on the boat, looking at the splashing water on the sea.
On the sea surface, a female demi-human with a fish tail glanced back at Leo before diving into the sea.
This female demi-human should be the Mandela Siren.
Seeing that the other party had dived into the sea, Leo did not continue to chase after them, but instead carefully searched the situation on the ship.
Apart from him and Hughes, there was no one else alive on the ship.
All the knights died in the battle just now.
However, Leo sighed softly.
"This is troublesome."
Neither he nor Hughes can sail a boat.
I don't know how to drive it back.
In this vast ocean, their chances of survival are extremely slim.
As Leo pondered, Hughes suddenly ran over, shouting, "Leo, look! There's an island ahead!"
Upon hearing this, Leo raised an eyebrow and said, "Let me see."
Leo stood on the deck, gazing ahead.
An island is gradually approaching.
The seawater surrounding the island also had a pale reddish luster.
Leo said, "Let's go, Hughes, to the island. But first, we'll loot anything of value from the knights."
Hearing this, Hughes did not object and followed.
Leo and his men searched the knights' belongings and the ship's contents.
Leo found 252 magic stones, 12 complete scrolls of the Knight's Breathing Technique, as well as food, wine, and some fruit.
Of the 252 magic stones, 250 originated from Eiffel's corpse. The other two magic stones came from the corpses of other knights.
Leo kept the magic stones safe for himself, and Hughes had no objection to it.
Without Leo, he would have died long ago.
Besides, the knights were killed by Leo, so Hughes had no reason to get a share of the magic stones from Leo.
All twelve books on the Knight's Breathing Technique contain the same content.
Since the Knight's Breathing Technique might also be able to obtain illustrations, Leo kept one of them, while Hughes had no interest in it.
The last food, wine, and fruit were packed up in a long cloth and taken away by the two.
Hughes looked at the two stonefish that had been hunted and asked, "Leo, should we take the carcasses of these two stonefish with us?"
Leo said, "Bring it along too."
Hughes said, "This meat, when made into jerky, will last us for more than ten days. However... we don't know if we'll encounter any other ships sailing this way before we run out of food."
Leo shook his head, not continuing the topic, and said instead, "Let's go to the island and see what's going on. If there's fruit or wild animals on the island, we can hold out for a while longer."
"That's true, but how do we get there?" Hughes scratched his head.
Leo said, "We'll jump over when the ship gets close to the island."
"But I'm afraid I'll get hurt if I jump from here..."
Leo rolled his eyes and said, "Then you swim there yourself."
Hughes thought it was a good idea and said, "That works. You take these things over, and I'll swim there myself."
Leo said speechlessly, "Fine."
The ship quickly approached the island.
However, at that moment, Leo noticed a figure standing on the shore directly in front of him.
This is a man with a gentle and easygoing temperament.
Like the wizard Nova, he also possesses a sense of the passage of time.
However, the man's face gave Leo a feeling that was hard to remember.
As Leo was sizing up the other man, their eyes met. In that instant, he felt a chill run down his spine, and his whole body seemed to be warning him of the man's danger.
Leo's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Hughes, don't look him in the eye. He's a certified wizard."
"What?!"
Hughes was startled and quickly looked away from the other person.
Leo was a little nervous.
He never expected that there would be a formal wizard on this island.
Could it be that even a formal wizard has encountered a shipwreck and ended up here?
Of course, this thought only flashed through my mind.
For a fully-fledged wizard, crossing the ocean would be an absolute breeze.
Leo was filled with doubt.
But then he saw the official wizard spread his right hand with five fingers out, facing Leo.
As the ship approached, a strong gust of wind gradually slowed its speed.
Leo stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the formal wizard ahead.
A hint of joy flashed in the man's eyes when his gaze fell on the badges worn on Hughes and Leo's chests.
Leo said, "Hello, esteemed formal wizard, my name is Leo Danville, and I am a wizard from the Tower of Dawn."
Hughes then said, "My name is Kepson Hughes, and I am also a wizard from the Tower of Dawn." However, he kept his gaze fixed on the wizard and did not look at him.
