A Wizard's Secret

Chapter 527: The Ambush

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ten days later, in the sky above the Kingdom of Seeden, a huge shadow appeared above the capital, accompanied by a loud howling noise. Many people were staring at the sky with their jaws wide open and a mixture of shock and stupor on their faces.

“Giant dragon, a giant dragon is coming!”

“That’s a Holy Knight, a formidable existence who’s able to tame a giant dragon... Holy Knight Deutz from the Kingdom of Seeway is coming to fetch Princess Fleur.”

“Shame, this is a great shame. Our Kingdom of Seeden has no choice but to sacrifice our most beautiful princess in exchange for temporary peace... When will we finally be able to give birth to a Holy Knight?”

The giant dragon in the air was hundreds of meters long, and its huge wings nearly blocked out the sun and the sky. It was incredibly massive. In addition, it looked terrifying vicious, and exuded an invincible aura.

This was the most invincible creature in the Seely Dimension – the giant dragon!

At this moment, on the back of the giant dragon stood a middle-aged man wearing golden armor. His body exuded a powerful aura which was mixed with the aura of the giant dragon, thus forming an even more powerful and strange aura.

This was the Holy Knights’ uniqueness. A lone Holy Knight might not be particularly powerful or at least not substantially different from the peak Sky Knights.

However, once they stood on the back of the giant dragons, they would be almost combined with the giant dragon where their abilities would immediately soar to a Great Wizard’s level.

“Hoo...”

The giant dragon descended from the sky. The massive gust of wind almost knocked down some of the palace guards. Subsequently, the giant dragon landed on the main foyer and countless guards rushed forward to surround Deutz.

Deutz flew the giant dragon right into the palace, which was basically an act of provocation. The obvious arrogance in Deutz’ eyes could be felt by everyone.

However, looking that the giant dragon underneath Deutz, who was able to blow the surrounding guards away with a mild snort as well as the reputation of the Holy Knights, none of the guards dared to take a step forward.

Holy Knight Deutz stayed on top with no signs of jumping off the giant dragon. Instead, he said with bristling arrogance, “I carry the king’s orders to fetch Queen Consort Fleur. Quickly, go and summon Fleur. I’ll safely deliver the queen consort to the Kingdom of Seeway!”

“Since you’re here to fetch Her Majesty the Princess, naturally, you’ll have to pay respects to the king first!”

Although the guards were afraid, they still shouted in a loud voice. As the palace guards, their foremost duty was to protect the sovereignty of the king.

“I’m only tasked with fetching the queen consort. As for the king, there’ll be another opportunity to pay respects to him in the future.”

Holy Knight Deutz frowned but still did not enter the palace. After all, he was a respectable Holy Knight. Even when he saw the king of Seeway, he did not have to salute him, what more to salute the king of Seeden.

Therefore, Deutz would not enter the great hall of the palace and instead waited quietly outside. The giant dragon would periodically shoot out a breath of hot air, causing all the surrounding guards to jitter.

At the moment, seated high up in the great hall, King Roger was looking cautiously at the six strangers below. In a whisper, he asked, “Grand Duke Saturn, that Deutz still refuses to come in. What should we do?”

Saturn also wrinkled his forehead and exchanged a glance with Merlin and the others. “If Deutz refuses to come in, it means that he’s being vigilant. Look, he hasn’t left the giant dragon at all. In fact, he has been vigilant, which is quite troublesome.”

Since the moment Deutz arrived, Merlin and the others had been watching him closely. They could sense a strange aura emanating from Deutz that indeed could rival a Great Wizard.

The giant dragon underneath him, in particular its vicious aura was like a slap in the face. Despite being so far away, they could still sense it. It was not surprising that it was the most vicious creature in the Seely Dimension.

“This is indeed troublesome. Wizard Vic, can your puppet resist that giant dragon?”

Wizard Rael looked at Vic. The great dragon’s threat far exceeded that of Deutz. In addition, the combination of the two was comparable to a Great Wizard, so they must think of a way to separate the two.

“The giant dragon’s abilities should be equivalent to a peak Ninth-level, so my puppet is able to subdue it. However, we mustn’t allow Deutz to combine with the giant dragon at all cost. Otherwise, we’ll have to face the equivalent of a Great Wizard, which is very troublesome.”

Vic considered it and felt that he could subdue the giant dragon, provided that the giant dragon and Deutz were separated and could not combine.

The reason why the Holy Knights were so powerful was that they were able to combine with the dragon, and instantly become comparable to a Great Wizard.

“Looks like we have to get Princess Fleur to help.”

Merlin stepped forward, and stated his plan. Princess Fleur would have to make an appearance to separate Deutz and the giant dragon.

King Roger bit his lip and nodded reluctantly. “I hope you’ll be able to fulfill your promise.”

“Definitely. Our purpose of coming to the Seely Dimension is to investigate the Rock Tribe’s conspiracy. After this incident, you’ll be left unharmed and will no longer be subjugated by the Kingdom of Seeway.”

After hearing Saturn’s assurance, King Roger was finally relieved. He also understood that at this point, he could only obey the arrangements set by Merlin and the others.

“Go get Princess Fleur!”

Subsequent to the king’s order, soon, Princess Fleur arrived in the great hall of the palace. She was astonished to see Merlin and the others with King Roger. Until now, she did not know that King Roger had been controlled by Merlin and the others. All she knew was that she had to cooperate with Merlin and the others to defeat Holy Knight Deutz outside.

“Father, what do you need me to do?”

Princess Fleur was somewhat excited.

“Fleur, go outside now and by hook or by crook, get Deutz to enter the palace. You must separate him from the giant dragon!”

King Roger grunted. Right now, Fleur was their last resort. After all, by concession, Fleur was already considered the queen consort of the Kingdom of Seeway. Since Deutz had come to fetch Fleur, he would not publicly reject her request.

Fleur’s face was flushed with excitement. Standing up, she picked up her skirt and went outside the great hall. She lifted her head to look at Holy Knight Deutz on the giant dragon.

“Knight Deutz, Father wants to see you. After all, you’re a powerful knight, and our Kingdom of Seeden has never yet produced a powerful Holy Knight.”

Princess Fleur smiled and said to Deutz.

Deutz hesitated slightly. If the request had come from anyone else, Deutz would not pay attention but Fleur was already considered the queen consort of the Kingdom of Seeway in name. Thus, Deutz would have to regard Fleur’s words carefully.

After a long delay, Deutz finally nodded. “Your Majesty Queen Consort, I’ll pay respects to His Majesty the King!”

Deutz leaped down from the giant dragon and walked right into the great hall.

The moment Deutz entered the great hall, he heard a dull thud. Immediately, the entire great hall plunged into darkness.

“Not good!”

Deutz yelled, and the giant dragon outside seemed to have sensed the danger he was in. With a loud puff, its huge body began to slam furiously against the great hall. This resulted in a terrifying racket which seemed like the entire great hall was about to be leveled by the giant dragon.

“Wizard Vic, we’re counting on you!”

Amidst the darkness, Wizard Saturn’s voice revealed a sense of gravity.

“Don’t worry. Black-armored Puppet, go and stop the giant dragon!” ¹

A beam of black light rapidly grew bigger, and a tall puppet wrapped in black armor appeared before the giant dragon. Its small frame seemed to contain a fearsome power that caused even the giant dragon to tremble.

“Boom!”

The puppet in black armor did not hold back and collided against the giant dragon. Suddenly, the entire palace seemed to quake as an invisible shockwave flattened almost the entire surroundings.

“Such a powerful force!”

Gasps of exclamation abounded from within the darkness. The punch released by the black-gold puppet already packed a truly fearsome force, yet upon collision with the giant dragon, the black-gold puppet was not a worthy opponent. The puppet was sent flying into the air and landed heavily on the ground, forming a huge crater. This spoke volumes of the power of the giant dragon.

“Hmph, the Kingdom of Seedan wants to ambush me? Ambush a noble Holy Knight? Soon, you’ll know what a foolish decision it is!”

Holy Knight Deutz remained conscious. A surge of golden fighting spirit enveloped him, and he retreated as fast as possible. Soon, he would be able to jump back onto the giant dragon.

When that happens, Merlin and the other would have to face a Holy Knight equivalent to a Great Wizard!
