Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 339: Chapter 154: Plunder (Part 2)

He tried to consolidate his position by strengthening control and suppression, but this only made the people more dissatisfied.

His actions made people even more convinced of the Duke of the Western Border’s accusations, believing Bronco to be a ruthless and cruel usurper.

The supporters of the Silver Dragon Princess took the opportunity to launch one protest and demonstration after another, demanding Bronco’s abdication and the ascension of the Silver Dragon Princess to the throne.

The Silver Dragon Princess’s prestige, supported by David and the Duke of the Western Border, was rising day by day.

All of this was the result of David spreading information through the intelligence network established by Messenger Magic Pets.

This is the terror of a public opinion war!

Of course, David was more concerned about the Wind Element Barrier than the situation in the Silver Moon Kingdom.

The magical crisis in the Western Territory had not yet been completely resolved.

In front of the Wind Element Barrier, David and Lingnai stood shoulder to shoulder, examining the Wind Element Barrier before them.

This Wind Element Barrier was of the same level as the Ice Barrier.

David, with relative ease, successfully perceived the situation within the Wind Element Barrier using his perception ability.

Lingnai’s gaze occasionally fell on Lord Duke, her face slightly reddening.

During this time, Lord Duke and Princess Yi Lin had been quite affectionate.

Especially when Lord Duke helped retake the Western Territory and pressured the new king Bronco, Princess Yi Lin was full of sweetness.

If someone were truly willing to do all this for her, naturally she would also willingly dedicate everything she has, right?

Lingnai’s gaze gradually softened.

She closed her eyes, recalling various moments with Lord Duke, thinking of how he selflessly saved her, with so many buried feelings in her heart.

She looked at the Wind Element Barrier before her, her gaze becoming resolute.

She understood the purpose of Lord Duke bringing her here; she also wanted to rely on the Wind Element Barrier to become stronger so that she could help Lord Duke and her companions.

“Let’s go in,”

At this moment, David suddenly spoke.

“Oh, okay,”

Lingnai snapped back to reality and quickly followed.

David reached out and held Lingnai’s hand, his expression serious.

Lingnai did not resist.

She also knew that entering the Wind Element Barrier carried certain dangers.

At this time, she had to stay closely by Lord Duke’s side.

“Stay close to me,” David said.

Afterwards, he opened the entrance to the Wind Element Barrier.

Once their figures stepped into the barrier, the passage slowly disappeared.

David looked around.

This area covered by the Wind Element Barrier was a gorge.

The scene inside the Wind Element Barrier took Lingnai and David’s breath away.

On the cliffs on both sides of the gorge, vortices formed by Wind Elements kept spinning, emitting sharp howls, as if they could break free at any moment and turn into a gale to sweep everything away.

On the ground, weathered rocks presented strange shapes, some resembling animals sculpted by invisible hands, others like twisted human faces, which were deeply unsettling.

David tightly held Lingnai’s hand, and the two proceeded cautiously. The environment here was extremely unstable; any small mistake could lead to disaster.

The core power of the Wind Element Barrier was hidden deep inside the gorge; they needed to find and control this power to master the Wind Element Barrier.

Suddenly, a stronger wind sound interrupted their thoughts.

David swiftly pulled Lingnai behind a huge rock, and the two pressed closely against the rock wall, minimizing their presence.

Under their watchful eyes, a giant Wind Wolf appeared in the gorge.

This Magical Beast was covered entirely with transparent Wind Elements, its hooves touched the ground, yet it seemed to have no weight, its eyes glowed a ghostly blue, obviously searching for prey.

The Wind Wolf’s ears slightly twitched, as if sensing something.

David quickly determined that this Wind Wolf was not an Extraordinary Magical Beast but a magic creature formed by the Wind Element Barrier, existing specifically to guard the Wind Element Barrier. Its strength was at the quasi-seven tier level.

But if this Wind Wolf could borrow the power of the Wind Element Barrier, it should be able to fight against a seventh-tier being, with strength inferior to that of the Tier Seven Demon Tree.

At this moment, David couldn’t help but marvel at the immense magic of the Black Forest. A magic creature nurtured by the Wind Element Barrier, its strength could reach quasi-seven tier standards; this was something unimaginable outside.

David took a deep breath, his gaze locked firmly on the Wind Wolf that disappeared at the end of the gorge.

With his current strength, he could certainly slay this Wind Wolf.

David glanced back at Lingnai and softly said, “Stay here and don’t move; I’m going to kill that Wind Wolf.”

Though worried, Lingnai nod wisely and compliantly.

David moved swiftly and silently, his body like a ghost, shuttling through the gorge within the Wind Element Barrier.

He needed to find a suitable battlefield that could both restrict the Wind Wolf’s speed and play to his own strengths.

Shortly thereafter, he found a complex area of terrain with a multitude of rocks and fissures. This would be the best place for his battle with the Wind Wolf.

David then dispatched his Beast’s Heart to lure the Wind Wolf over.

The Wind Wolf’s perception was extremely keen; it quickly detected David’s provocation, roaring angrily as it charged toward the battlefield David had set up.

David stood atop a boulder, staring intently at the approaching Wind Wolf, his body taut, readying himself for the imminent battle.

As soon as the Wind Wolf entered the battlefield, David launched an attack.

He wielded the Silver Dragon Sword, slashing down towards the Wind Wolf.

The Wind Wolf deftly leaped, dodging the slash, while simultaneously breathing out a whirlwind in an attempt to counterattack.

David swiftly dodged, his movements fluid and swift. With the enhancement of extraordinary speed, he moved like a gust of wind, no slower than the Wind Element Wind Wolf.

He chose to confront directly, his powerful Tier Seven physical ability combined with extraordinary power weakening the magic within the Wind Wolf bit by bit.

Just as the Wind Wolf was about to launch a powerful attack, David suddenly accelerated, approaching it with speed surpassing the Wind Wolf’s reactions, and then with all his strength, punched the Wind Wolf in its vital spot, terrifying energy flooding straight into the Wind Wolf’s body!

Boom!

The next moment, the Wind Wolf’s figure suddenly exploded, dissolving into Wind Elements.

And where the Wind Wolf disappeared, there was a gem containing Wind Element Energy, which was evidently the Wind Wolf’s energy core.

David picked up the Wind Element Gemstone and sensed it briefly, discovering that the energy contained within this gem was stronger than the Ice Gemstone and Earth Gemstone he had obtained.

Putting away the Wind Element Gemstone, David returned to where Lingnai was hiding, smiling as he handed over the Wind Element Gemstone he had just acquired.

“Thank you, Lord Duke,” Lingnai said happily.

She could also sense the rich magic power contained within this Wind Element Gemstone.

After having Lingnai put it away, David continued exploring the barrier, and during this time, they also encountered many wind-attribute Extraordinary Magical Beasts.

Besides that, there were also some powerful Wind Elemental Creatures, and after being defeated, each of these Wind Elemental Creatures would leave behind a Wind Element Gemstone.

However.

The area covered by the Wind Element Barrier was truly vast.

The power of the Ice Barrier could envelop the Northern Fortress, and the Wind Element Barrier, continuously replenished by the Black Forest’s magic, would only cover an even larger area!

And due to the dense magic fluctuations in this region, his tail of perception could only roughly determine a few locations where the energy was most concentrated!

Currently, he was most concerned whether the Wind Element Barrier was under the control of some powerful Elemental Creature, similar to how the Death Demon Tree attempted to seize the Fog Seal Barrier.

He had to ensure that this wasn’t another situation like that of the Death Demon Tree’s attempt to seize control of the Fog Seal Barrier.

For the time being, they decided to rest a little. “Let’s take a break first, you should refine these Wind Element Gemstones,” David said.

She had a feeling that these many Wind Element Gemstones would be enough to make her much stronger.

During this time, David also continued to search the surrounding area while keeping track of the situation, confirming the location of the Barrier Core.
