Chapitre 31: The God Of Wind’s Statue
Éditeur: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tony, Bobby, and Nele had no magic reserves to continue their journey after the great battle.
They had to buy a horse and escape from Coro City in a sorry state.
Bobby's hair was messy, and he looked like a wild dog that had just been beaten up.
There was a hint of fear and confusion in his eyes.
Apparently, Marcus's magic talent had affected greatly.
Tony's eyes were also bloodshot. His face was pale with a hint of lividity, and his breathing fluctuated.
Tony was now like a silent volcano, ready to erupt at any time.
The three of them came to a desolate mountain land outside the city.
"Let's stop here."
Tony stopped.
"Junior Sister."
At that moment, Tony dismounted and stood straight on the spot, staring coldly at Nele.
Even the way he addressed her had changed.
From "Nele" to "Junior Sister".
Nele's heart began to pound wildly. She had a foreboding feeling that something bad was going to happen.
"Tony, what are you—"
Nele was about to say something, but Tony, who was burning with anger, suddenly raised his hand.
Pa!
A loud sound reverberated throughout the desolate mountain land.
It was Tony. He had slapped Nele's face.
A blood-red palm print immediately appeared on Nele's fair face.
"Tony!"
Tears welled up in Nele's eyes, and she immediately covered her swollen face.
Her eyes were filled with shock as she stared blankly at the tall and handsome Tony in front of her.
It was as if she could not believe that Tony would hit her.
Tony gnashed his teeth and violently dropped his hand as if he wanted to continue hitting her.
Then, he said coldly, "You little b*tch, you said that Marcus had just become an Ivy League Academy senior and was a level-1 advanced mage. At most, he was only a level-2 advanced mage! He's not just an advanced mage, but he's almost at the level of a grand mage!"
Tony had battled against a grand mage before, and he was subdued within three moves.
"Unfortunately, I listened to you, b*tch. I really thought that Marcus was just a newbie mage. In the end, we suffered a tragic defeat, and it brought shame to all of us!"
At this time, Bobby also came back to his senses. He also looked at Nele with an unfriendly expression.
However, after thinking for a moment, Bobby's expression changed. "Tony now is not the time to talk about this. Figuring out how to deal with this Marcus is more important."
Tony looked into the distance. The morning sun was already peeking out from the top of the mountain.
Little drops of morning light showered the road back to the academy, and half of the morning light gradually shone on half of his face.
His high forehead and wide eye sockets caused the other half of his face to be covered by a black shadow.
After he closed that eye, he said gloomily, "Marcus is an Ivy League Academy senior. Our current strength is inferior to his, so we can't do anything to him.
"Hehe, but it doesn't matter. Revenge isn't urgent for this short moment. Let's return to Green Bridge Academy first. As long as he is still an Ivy League Academy student, we still have a breath left. There will be a chance to take revenge in the future!"
Bobby also knew that he couldn't do anything to Marcus now. He could only sigh and choose to forget about this matter for the time being.
"Let's go!"
After saying that, Tony didn't even bother with Nele. Instead, he chose to quickly get on his horse and leave with Bobby.
Nele was left standing in the desolate mountain land alone.
Nele's eyes were already red, and the mist had long drowned a few streaks of blood in her eyes.
Nele raised her head, not letting her tears flow.
She gently touched her fair cheek.
Tony's slap was painful.
But her heart hurt even more!
This slap not only destroyed her naivety but also shattered her fantasy of a rich family.
Nele gnashed her teeth and said slowly, "Tony, you are not human..."
She really didn't expect him to have been acting gentle and understanding all along.
'No matter what he did, he always acted like victory was in his hands. Nonetheless, he actually became so angry out of humiliation after a failure. He even hit me, a fragile woman…'
It seemed that Tony had ever taken her seriously. The sweet words he had said to her before were all fake.
Tony's behavior was no different than a low-quality balloon that had been blown into the sky—the kind that would break when blown by the wind.
He was already so sick that no medicine could cure him.
He was far inferior to Marcus in every aspect.
Upon thinking of Marcus, Nele's feelings were a little complicated.
She did not expect Marcus, who had been a level-1 advanced mage with no potential in her eyes, to have hidden himself so well.
He was a prodigy, and not even Tony was his match!
Compared to Tony, Marcus made Tony appear ugly.
Unfortunately, the prospect of Nele and Marcus getting together was no longer possible.
Nele knew her limits. She would never have the chance again.
Not to mention that a person like Marcus would never have any interaction with her again.
"However, I should also thank Marcus. Thank you for letting me see Tony's true colors in advance. This is also a good thing. I don't want to marry Tony and regret it for the rest of my life."
Nele ground her teeth and got on her horse. She turned around and rushed in the direction of her home.
At Coro City, Griffin family...
After the servants cleaned the courtyard, they all left.
Marcus looked outside the door, not saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.
If he were in Tony's shoes, he probably wouldn't be willing to accept this outcome.
If it was in a place with no people, Marcus would have already made up his mind to get rid of Bobby and Tony.
Unfortunately, they were in Coro City, so if he killed these two people, it would cause great trouble. They were Green Bridge Academy core students, after all.
This identity was extraordinary.
If an academy's apprentice-level students died, the academy wouldn't care too much. At most, they would give out some pensions to the deceased's families.
But core disciples were different.
How many core students could there be in an academy?
There wouldn't be many.
Therefore, every core student was the backbone of the academy.
Once a core disciple died, the academy would use all its manpower and resources to investigate this matter.
If Marcus died in this battle, then the Ivy League Academy would also investigate this matter.
As such, it was unwise to make a move in Coro City.
Moreover, not knowing whether there were still people around, Marcus could only let the two of them go.
However, this was not a big deal.
Marcus had already completed his breakthrough in this battle and was now a level-6 advanced mage.
In the future, his strength would only increase. It was not impossible for him to break through to the grand-mage realm in the next few years.
When Tony and Bobby saw this, they would only be more desperate. They would no longer dare to bear grudges and provoke him.
Miss Wendy's pale face had just turned rosy. She had a perplexed expression before pursing her lips and saying softly, "Mr. Marcus, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid our Griffin family would have been in big trouble."
Marcus smiled. "It's nothing, Miss Wendy. I'm your family's protector. These are all things that I should do. After today, I guess Bobby and the others won't dare to come and find trouble with you again.
"In the future, if your family encounters any difficulties, you can still write to me. If you really can't wait, you can go to Black Mountain City's Leicester family and ask for help. I've already made an agreement with them."
Just as Marcus was about to leave, Wendy stopped him.
"Mr. Marcus, I know that you like to practice magic. I know a place that will surely improve your magic practice speed."
Marcus turned his head and asked, "Where is that?"
"Well... Mr. Marcus, do you know that there is a Wind Temple in Coro City?" whispered Wendy.
After that battle, Wendy felt that Marcus might not know wind-element magic or be proficient in it.
"Temple..." muttered Marcus.
He suddenly remembered that Coro City seemed to be the hometown of the Wind God's messenger, so wind-element magic was prevalent.
"Then Miss Wendy, do you know which master in the temple is best at using wind element magic?"
"Senior Gauss and Senior Jed are both grand mages, who are close to 70 years old, and they are proficient in wind magic!" said Wendy.
Marcus nodded. "Then Miss Wendy, can you do me a favor? I hope Miss Wendy can use the influence of the Griffin family to help invite these two grand mages. Just say that I have great respect for wind magic and am very interested in it. I would like to have an exchange with the two seniors."
The wealthy Griffin family had been in Coro City for 100 years.
Although they had internal disputes some time ago, it had become normal after Wendy took the reigns.
In this way, the Griffin family was not afraid of not being able to invite the two seniors.
Wendy also understood in her heart. She nodded and said, "That's easy. I just need to ask Mr. Marcus to stay here for a while."
She also knew that Marcus was in a hurry to return to the academy, so she immediately said to him, "In two days, I will definitely let you meet these two seniors."
Marcus hurriedly waved his hand. "No rush. I can just inform the academy."
"No problem." Wendy smiled.
"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Wendy."
Marcus decided to stay at the Griffin estate for a few days.
He returned to his room and immediately opened the system.
Upon discovering that the system was about to be upgraded, Marcus did not hesitate to click on the 'Upgrade' option.
After a while...
[System 1.0 has been upgraded to System 2.0]
[Host: Marcus
Realm: Level-6 Archmage
Skills:
Explosive Fireball: Mastery (Max Level)
Wind Blade: Mastery (Max Level)
Shadow Flash: Level-10 (Progress: 90%)
Earth Shield: Mastery (Max Level)
Lightning Tempest: Level-2 (Progress: 55%)
Golem Technique: Level-5 (Max Level)
Heart of Nightmare (Passive): Absorption Completed (Max Level)
Nightmare Eye: Absorption Completed (Max Level)
God of War Physique: Level-1 (Progress: 60%)]
Marcus opened the system interface to check on his realm and God of War Physique.
'It seems that the God of War Physique's cultivation speed is quite good. However, this Shadow Flash…'
Marcus had been practicing it for almost half a year, but he still hadn't mastered it. He had reached an extremely high level of proficiency.
This wasn't because Shadow Flash didn't work hard, but because it was simply too difficult for Shadow Flash to break through its bottleneck.
"Let's see if the Wind Blade Spell can benefit from the Wind Temple."
Marcus was also like the other spells, eager to become stronger.
When the time came, once the Wind Blade Spell was enlightened, the three high-level spells would be used together.
If they could be fused together, their power would definitely be outstanding!
