Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Capítulo 1308: Chapter 1099: Sebek’s Astonishment

Leonard laughed: “Josanie, I really don’t want my only memory of this training journey to be just holding you and watching the fun.

Although I can’t explore the path of life between life and death like Lynn, I still need to see what I’m capable of.

You see… In the past environment, there was only whispering, and no one would discuss the issue of abilities with me.

And after coming out of the Supreme Forest, the enemies I encountered were either too strong to even peek at, or… I didn’t have the chance to strike.

As Edna said, I should also try and see what I am.”

The Fairy Dragon tilted its head and thought for a while: “You’ve been influenced by that little girl, otherwise you should be like me, why get involved when there’s fun to watch… My dear Leon, I disagree with this marriage, she is not suitable for you at all.

For someone like you who gets easily distracted, it’s better to find an Elf, after all, a clean break means you won’t be hunted when you meet again.

Finding such a strong girl, I’m… afraid I’ll really have to guard your grave in the future! Dear Leon, please~ don’t let poor Josanie sigh at your tombstone every day.”

In the laughter of Devis and Luca behind him, Leonard confusedly said: “How did I endure you all these years, Josanie!”

“Maybe, it’s because I escape rather quickly?” the Fairy Dragon replied seriously.

Leonard shook his head helplessly: “I’ll say this only once, don’t joke about this anymore, it’s not good for me or Edna.

Edna is a very beautiful and good girl, but I haven’t developed any affection for her.

For Elves, whether there’s an attraction at first sight decides everything.

Her aura is very mysterious, very… Mage-like, completely different from the kind of lover I want.”

Josanie sighed softly: “Well… okay, good girls are always not for silly boys.

You still like those girls surrounded by nature!

But you find the Elves who are close to nature too… reckless.

Ah, forget it! Even if you stay single for a few thousand years, it’s no problem, after all, Fairy Dragons live long lives!

I’ll surely see the day of your descendants… wait, will I?”

Leonard felt the corners of his mouth twitching… but he also understood that Josanie was indirectly promising not to make fun of him with Edna anymore, and that was enough.

After all, they still had to travel together… oh no, train together, and they couldn’t let this affect their relationship.

Even though Leonard was sometimes a bit naïve, he had watched those lovelorn men and women for two hundred years in the Tower of Nature!

He knew very well that if something isn’t going to happen and there’s no interest, then don’t get involved from the start… External provocations can create illusions.

Yet the awakening from illusions can bring pain to everyone around… if the parties still have to stay in one place, it’s an inescapable nightmare.

Although he hadn’t experienced it himself, witnessing it so much gave Leonard a very clear understanding of love: beautiful and lovely girls are nice, but not every lovely girl will belong to him.

He wants to be like his parents, never getting tired of each other even after hundreds or thousands of years, instead of turning the world upside down when the passion fades, just to seek new excitement.

Leonard glanced outside, the Undead Tribe had started queuing for group buffs, he needed to hurry… Once this period is over, who knows how long it would take to find a specific Undead Tribe member to help.

The Undead Tribe can disappear in an instant and then reappear in places he could never imagine.

Even their own people with tablets for direct contact couldn’t find anyone, and Leonard didn’t want to challenge himself like that.

He patted Josanie’s little head: “Don’t worry about me, with the Undead Tribe around, I’ll be very safe.

Think about it, if I don’t dare to act even with them nearby, what would I do in the future?

I can’t rely on the Undead Tribe now and Lynn later, can I?

I don’t want to be a little brother who never grows up.

So, Josanie, please don’t hold me back, okay?”

The Fairy Dragon was a bit frustrated and lowered its head to retract its wings that were brushing against Leonard’s cloak: “Then… make sure you return safely!”

She earnestly cast all her blessing spells on Leonard, but as he disappeared from the cabin door, the Fairy Dragon’s forehead creased slightly.

Despite having weak combat power, the Fairy Dragon was very sensitive, and she had a very bad feeling about the Crocodilian outside… so she didn’t want Leonard to go on an adventure at all.

Josanie was always selfish, she didn’t care if that Crocodile Head would pose a danger to Edna, or even if this guy meant a huge danger to the entire Toril, she still didn’t care at all.

Living longer, no Dragon Race would believe AO could detach Toril from his control?

So… no matter what happens, that God Above Gods will definitely take care of it.

Then why let her dear friends pay the price?

After all, they weren’t trying to benefit from that old man.

However… Josanie jumped to the window and carefully observed Edna, who was already standing in the Mage lineup outside… This Junior Mage always gave her an unfathomable feeling.

She’s still more than two months away from adulthood!

Even if she grew up around those shrewd Undead Tribe, at most, she would have gone from being a shallow stream to a seemingly bottomless pool, though after more observations, you would still see the faint river sand… But how did she suddenly become an immense lake whose depth couldn’t be gauged?

She didn’t hope Leonard would fall for such an enigmatic girl, but if they became good friends, that would be fine… At least she wouldn’t betray someone for a little gain.

Edna had no interest in the myriad thoughts of the Fairy Dragon; she was eagerly following an Elemental Mage from the Undead Tribe, receiving rows of blessings from the Priests in front.

‘Old Age Striking King’ and ‘Xiao Liuliu’ didn’t have the time to bother with her and were running about the ship arranging the placement of the Priests.

A mage called ‘Rain Falling on Mortal Dust’ took over the duties from the Sanda King, guiding Edna, who was covered in various colorful blessings, to her position.

“Look at these spots; they seem safe, but they are outside the Priests’ line of sight.” ‘Rain Falling on Mortal Dust’ said with a smile, “Besides, it would expose you to the enemy’s view.

Come here and try it.”

Edna stood at a corner of his discerning position and was startled by the giant crocodile’s maw snapping from outside the Defensive Magic Array.

“You see, because when these Crocodilians stand, they are relatively tall, so their vision is downward.” ‘Rain Falling on Mortal Dust’ glanced at the crocodile head shattered by the Array, unfazed, and said, “The Array is going to be shut off soon, so it’s very dangerous then.

You can see then what happens when you don’t heed warnings.”

He looked at Edna’s surprised gaze, raising an eyebrow with a smile: “Those who don’t listen to advice and are self-opinionated exist everywhere.

There are quite a few in Black Rose.

Be a good girl, Edna~”

Edna nodded blankly… She hadn’t interacted much with ‘Rain Falling on Mortal Dust’, and it was the first time she realized that this mage commander had this kind of style.

No wonder the Sanda King and he didn’t hang out together; both were assertive, and they would surely vie for control.

‘Rain Falling on Mortal Dust’ finally led the little girl to a more retraced position on the front deck: “Standing here seems easily noticeable by enemies on all sides, but… look up for a moment; nothing feels dirty above this Defensive Magic Array.

This shows there’s visual folding here… those crocodiles and shark-heads can only see the ground beneath them, and they have no cooperation with each other, sometimes even conflicting in their attacks.

For now, you can stand here; if any issue arises, I’ll call out to you.”

He quickly left after speaking to arrange other Mage positions.

Edna looked back and found that ‘Old Age Striking King’ had also placed some pure healing Priests in this position, but a bit further back.

Edna pondered over the Undead Tribe’s combat style and understood that the Mage and Priest required different distances.

For a Priest, within three meters outside the ship’s side was their working range, but a Mage needed a farther casting distance… Enemies weren’t all going to be sitting at the ship’s edge.

The curses of ‘Perfect Bald’ were still echoing in her ears, but Edna had already slowly calmed down.

As she watched the front and rear decks filling up with various professions, she began to follow along in her mental sea, drawing out… perhaps, in the future, she would only control the Magic-based professions, but she wanted to have this comprehensive planning ability.

‘Old Age Striking King’ had judged that ‘Snow Cloud Peak’ correctly, and almost five minutes after Black Rose’s ship was ready, the signal for battle came from that side.

Edna’s spirit was lifted, as she immediately buffed herself up fully, and her hand began to glow with a deep light… She hesitated for a long time between the Eighth Ring’s Lightning Circle and the Ninth Ring’s Bigby Crushing Hand, eventually choosing Bigby.

Although this spell was claimed to be the simplest of the Ninth Ring, its attack power was not weak, adding additional damage to large creatures, and… it could exert different combat power based on personal ability.

In the words of the Undead Tribe, the higher the intelligence, the stronger the damage.

Perfectly suited for Edna, whose soul was growing ever stronger.

When ‘Perfect Bald’ soared into the air and shouted “Begin!”, Sebek was stunned to meet a gigantic hand far beyond his imagination.

The God of Crocodiles raised his arms to block in front of his head, but the massive force still sent him back to the island.

Looking at the huge hand firmly clamping him, Sebek was bewildered, could it be an Archmage above level 30?

Wasn’t it said there was none on this ship?
