The wizards all knew what Blue Moon was trying to imply. They wanted to test the power of this legendary wizard.
They all looked at Angele after Blue Moon finished his words.
Angele rubbed the handles of the chair and remained silent.
“If it’s a gift to me, you can just remove the box.”
“You heard what the master just said.”
Blue Moon exchanged eye contact with the female wizard behind him. The female wizard quickly pointed at the box.
*CHI*
The black box flashed and suddenly moved to the right, releasing the cloud beast. The box shrank and returned to the female wizard’s palm.
The cloud beast was a bit surprised. It walked around and its sight fell upon Angele’s body.
*WOO*
The cloud beast made a loud noise.
The wizards all wanted to know how Angele would handle the situation. It was obvious that the cloud beast was controlled by the merfolk and the beast would only attack the wizards from Ramsoda.
*ROAR*
The cloud beast charged at Angele and turned into a dark shadow. It took the beast around one second to reach Angele while spawning a lot of white clouds in the hall.
*BAM*
After the loud noise, the white clouds disappeared and the wizards could finally see things clearly.
Angele grabbed the cloud beast’s head and lifted it up like a chicken. The cloud beast was struggling, trying to scratch Angele using its sharp claws. However, the cloud beast’s claws would move away from Angele when they got too close. It felt like the beast feared Angele.
*ROAR*
It felt like the beast’s body was shrinking as Angele applied some more force. The cloud beast roared furiously and its voice sounded identical to a lion.
Angele’s brow furrowed and applied some more force.
*CRACK*
Blood spurted out of the cloud beast’s head, and the beast’s body trembled. The beast calmed down as its skull was almost crushed by Angele’s hand. It just let Angele hold it in the air and stopped struggling.
The merfolk wizards were all surprised by the scene and some of them were scared.
Blue Moon’s expression changed. He witnessed how the cloud beast was captured. Grand Blue Wizard was one of the strongest wizards of the alliance and it took him several days to track the beast down. He ambushed the beast when it was resting and captured it using the magic item. He tried to attack the beast but his spells dealt no damage. Most of the wizards in his team could only defend during the mission—they could barely see how the beast was moving.
However, it felt like Angele had no problem handling the attack from the beast and almost killed it. Blue Moon had no idea how strong this legendary wizard was.
The other wizards’ expressions also changed. They all witnessed the scene and their thoughts about Ramsoda all changed. They needed a new plan.
The wizards from the Northland Alliance were getting anxious. They were not here to seek peaceful negotiations.
“Alright, it seems like the merfolk have nothing else to say. I guess it’s the Northland Alliance’s turn now.” Lila interrupted after the merfolk wizards sat down. “About the ancient monster, Master Angele… you should know that the monster is moving to the Ramsoda school. We built three special teams led by three strong wizards to hunt down the monster, but we failed.” She emphasized “three” for some reason.
“I have only one request. I want you to let us eliminate Param. He killed an important member of ours when we were just passing by the star dust mines.”
“About Param. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal.” The president of Ramsoda opened his mouth. “The star dust mines are in our territory, and you didn’t inform us before you entered our territory. You violated the rules first.”
Lila’s brow furrowed. “President Andy, please watch your words. This is a political problem! Do you know who was killed? Didn’t you read that in the report? His grandson of the wizard alliance’s vice president, Taka!”
“Taka?” Andy did not read about it in the report. He remained silent but his expression changed.
The other wizards remained silent too but they were communicating with each other using the communication runes. It seemed like the Northland Alliance was going after the Ramsoda because the grandson of the alliance’s grandson was killed. Although the vice president was just a rank 2 wizard, a war might occur if Ramsoda did not handle the problem carefully.
The atmosphere was getting heavy.
“Alright, Ramsoda, you have a lot of things to explain,” Lila spoke in a light tone.
“Wait. What I heard was slightly… different…”
A strange voice caught everyone’s attention.
An insect wizard from the underground world was the one who spoke. The leader of the insect wizards was named Cry Silver and was a famous wizard in the wizard world. He eliminated three dark wizard organizations alone and killed over 1000 wizards in his life.
“Cry Silver, what are you talking about? What did you hear?” Angele interrupted.
Cry Silver stood up and bowed to Angele.
“About wizard Param, we heard that—”
“Cry Silver, think carefully before you talk!” Lila shouted.
Cry Silver chuckled; he was not concerned. “I know what really happened in the star dust mines. An apprentice of mine passed by when everything happened. Wizard Param was trying his best not to offend the wizards from the Northland Alliance, however, one of the wizards had a personal problem with Param. The wizard asked the other wizards to attack the female wizard that was with Param and that was why Param fought back. Param was severely injured and all the mortals there were killed. I don’t know how Param killed Taka. They probably forced him to use his final resort when they were chasing after him.”
Lila sneered. “The problem is, two of our wizards died and you only lost an apprentice.”
“So, you’re saying that we must kill two wizards because of that?” Angele questioned. “I don’t think the Northland Alliance has the right to attack us in our territory.”
“Master!” Lila raised her voice. “Do you know that your words might start a war?! Param killed two of our wizards, he must die!”
Angele’s eyes narrowed. “He must die? How arrogant can you be? I already sent my people to rescue wizard Param. I don’t think he’ll die anytime soon.”
“This is a serious political problem, Master Angele! Do you really wish to start a war?!” Lila was almost shouting; it sounded like she was enraged.
“I don’t really care. You’re the one that’s not thinking.” Angele closed his eyes. He was getting bored. “Let the war begin. I’ll give you two glass hours to leave. If you don’t leave within the given time, you’ll have to stay here forever.”
The wizards of Northland Alliance were all enraged by Angele’s words. Some of them wanted to curse but they were stopped by Lila.
“Let’s go!” Lila glared at Angele and turned around.
The wizards of the Northland Alliance quickly left the hall and walked down the stairs.
The wizards from the organizations that were related to the Northland Alliance all stood up and left. They still wanted to support the Northland Alliance.
Several minutes later, half of the wizards in the hall left.
Angele released the cloud beast from his hand. The cloud beast stayed by Angele like a cat. It did not move an inch and the blood that’d spurted out of its eyes already dried up.
“What else?” Angele glanced around.
The merfolk wizards hesitated for a bit and decided to leave as well. They already got what they needed. They wanted to discuss something else with Angele, however, they decided to return to the Saladin Empire and inform their organization of the war. They needed a new plan for the new situation.
Cry Silver delivered a map of the night elf’s underground empire to Angele. They all knew that Angele wanted to visit the underground world; the insect wizards decided to show their respect by offering some help.
“We’ll be leaving too.” The insect wizards bowed to Angele, turned around, and left the hall.
Andy and Sella looked at Angele. They were worried.
“Don’t worry. I’ll get everything sorted out before leaving.” Angele waved his hand.
“That’s not the problem…” There was a bitter smile on Andy’s face. “We understand that you might be the strongest wizard in the area, but the Northland Alliance is huge…”
“Don’t worry about it. You can leave now,” Angele repeated.
Andy and Sella bowed to Angele, then turned around. They heard people cheering when they were about to walk down the stairs. It seemed like the wizards and the apprentices were happy about the incoming war.
“You heard that? They like it.” Angelle smiled.
“We’ve lived like a dog for too long.”
Andy and Sella exchanged eye contact. They had different thoughts in mind.
“Don’t worry. The dark wizard organizations will assist us.” Andy sent these words to Sella using energy particles.
“The problem is I don’t see the point of starting the war. The other dark wizard organizations will ask us to go to the frontlines…” Sella was a bit speechless.
“This has become a big problem. We didn’t know it was Taka who was killed.”
“I guess their old wizards will also join the war. We’ll have to proceed with caution…” Andy shook his head.
“Alright, let’s inform all the professors and wizards. We need to hold a meeting and tell them what Master Angele is thinking.”
