Chapter 410: The Highest One
"Master Colin?!"
Jennifer, who had barely escaped death, suddenly couldn't hold back her tears anymore. Her vision blurred as she vigorously wiped her eyes, and exclaimed with joy.
But quickly, she looked around and didn't see another familiar figure, her expression turning ugly again:
"Grandfather Erwin..."
"I regret to inform you, Master Erwin has unfortunately passed away... I'll explain the details later, can the Roon Family get in touch with Neustadt City?"
Colin shook his head as he cast the Temple Ring Binding, restraining Antoine and his companion, and asked in a deep voice.
The Wizards from the Roon Family hadn't fled far and returned upon seeing the situation change.
"We can, atop the White Tower lies a large Communication Ring Tower specifically for contacting Neustadt City."
The leading middle-aged Wizard replied.
"Heh heh... It's useless." Antoine, knowing he had no hope of survival and now being controlled by Colin with lightning speed, making even suicide impossible, felt his mood hit rock bottom.
If he had died in battle, his soul might still enter the Divine Country, but if captured and handed over to the Supreme Council for judgment... The thought filled Antoine with fear, so he continued to mock coldly:
"The Communication Ring Tower has already been destroyed by us; by the time Neustadt City realizes, the blight of the filth mushrooms will have already utterly devastated all the farmland!"
"You!" The middle-aged Wizard of the Roon Family clenched his teeth, glaring at him.
Yes, that's it, anger!
Antoine looked at Colin, hoping he would be just as angry and end his life, allowing his soul to return to the Divine Country!
However, at that moment, just as Antoine was about to continue his taunts, a concurring voice came through:
"Well done, Antoine, they won't be able to stop anything!"
'This is... Lord Xize's voice?!' Antoine was slightly startled.
Colin's expression turned cold, his left hand clenching tighter, grinding the knuckles against the confined True Spirit of Xize.
"Ah—!"
The latter screamed in agony... Colin couldn't help but frown slightly.
This Third Rank Wizard seemed to have some issues with his sanity, being quite noisy... If it wasn't for not wanting to miss any valuable information from Xize, he would have already used witchcraft to completely block him out.
"You've already destroyed the Communication Ring Tower?" Colin looked up and demanded coldly.
At this point, Antoine had lost his arrogant manner, looking pale with his head down, his body trembling slightly.
'How could this be, is Colin a Third Rank Wizard?! How did Lord Xize also fall into his hands, and even the True Spirit didn't escape!'
The nearby York's pupils dilated, his heart filled with extreme fear.
Since Xize's True Spirit could be captured by Colin, their own souls were even less to say! Now, death means true death, unless the Divine explicitly summon them, otherwise, their souls would definitely not escape in Colin's presence!
Puff—
In the distant farmland, a huge filth mushroom shot countless gray and black spores from beneath its cap like a rocket launch, the black ring-shaped tide spreading in all directions.
Colin's face seemed on the verge of forming a layer of frost.
Swish!
He cast a truth-compelling spell on Antoine!
The latter's gaze instantly became vacant and lifeless.
"Tell me, how can these filth mushrooms be stopped to prevent the farmland from being contaminated?"
"Eliminate... Impossible to eliminate filth... mushrooms, puff... heh heh..."
Touching upon some taboo, Antoine had barely spoken two sentences when he suddenly vomited blood; looking back at him, he had already collapsed on the ground.
"It's useless, even if the filth mushrooms are smashed to pieces, they will turn into smaller mushrooms and continue to pollute the land, and even if burned with flames, the filth will not disappear, at most, the area of contamination would be slightly reduced."
The True Spirit of Xize in his palm scoffed with schadenfreude.
Colin paid him no attention, just walked closer to look at Antoine lying on the ground, finding his soul had become fragmented, his gaze hazy, as if he had become an imbecile...
It seemed that using witchcraft to seek answers was not an option.
Colin turned to look into the distance, the ash from the sky fluttering like the dust clouds after a volcanic eruption, obscuring the stars and moonlight as if doomsday was descending.
The cave creatures that had run out of the ground were nearing the towering walls of Golden Barley City, and the soldiers on the wall were assembling, far away, but Colin could clearly see the panic on their faces.
The abnormality outside the city was becoming clear, and people inside Golden Barley City, who had been asleep, were waking up one after another, with orange lights turning on one by one, followed by the cries of infants mixed with the voices of adults like a tidal wave approaching.
Golden Barley City was surrounded on all sides by farmland with excellent geographic conditions, which was the proud symbol of being the capital of the Roon Kingdom.
But now it had become a binding cage.
Cities far from the Roon Kingdom were also under attack by the magical tide, they might fare a little better, but maybe not.
Farmlands spread across most of the Roon Kingdom.
And Neustadt City, the closest reinforcement with enough Wizards to offer help, would take Colin several hours to reach, even at his current speed.
Several hours... Colin watched all of this with a deep sense of helplessness in his heart.
Boom!!
A spider-like cave monster noticed them and without hesitation madly attacked, only to be instantly dealt with by the Wizards of the Roon Family.
