Chapter 45: Calamity Mountain Range
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There was still a secondary reason why it had become a danger zone. It was mainly because some terrifying natural calamities would often appear in this mountain range. The cause of these natural calamities was not known; it was also not known how the natural calamities had killed people. In any case, many people had encountered such natural calamities and then died without realizing it. It was not known how they had died. In the end, the natural calamities disappeared. No one knew how they disappeared. In short, it was extremely strange. Even though a few Divine Magi had come here personally, they did not manage to find out the exact cause of these natural calamities.
This was also how its name had come about. The reason Romo was so familiar with this place was because when he was alive, he had once entered the Calamity Mountain Range to search for an ancient site. At that time, Romo had also experienced a natural calamity. It was a fog that had suddenly appeared. In that fog, the few companions who had gone on the expedition with him mysteriously disappeared. They had not been not found alive nor had their corpses been seen. Even till death, Romo still did not know what had happened to those companions. He himself did not have any method to deal with the fog, nor was he even able to escape. It was only because the fog had mysteriously disappeared that Romo was able to survive. Otherwise, Romo would have died long ago.
It was precisely because of that dangerous experience that Romo had never set foot in this mysterious and dangerous mountain range again. However, he had not expected that he would come to this mountain range again.
Romo stopped in his tracks. He was hesitating whether he should enter this dangerous Calamity Mountain Range. If he were to encounter another natural calamity, would he be able to return? However, Romo was immediately relieved. He currently had the System. Not to mention that the probability of encountering a natural calamity was extremely small, even if he were to really encounter another natural calamity, he should be able to use the System’s ability to return.
It was better to nip the danger in the bud. With this thought, Romo used the Magic Conch to sense the other party’s location.
At this moment, the other party was in the Calamity Mountain Range and he was not very far away, less than 300 kilometers away. Furthermore, the other party’s location had not changed at all. Who knew if he was dead or trapped somewhere?
However, no matter what, Romo had to go take a look so he could be at ease. Afterall, he did not want to be on tenterhooks every day. Thinking of this, Romo steeled his heart and flew into the vicinity of the Calamity Mountain Range.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In a place on the periphery of the Calamity Mountain Range, a loud rumble similar to that of muffled thunder could be heard continuously. Some of the surrounding animals and some of the weaker magical beasts fled one after another. When he got closer, he could find a person in a gray robe flying in the air, continuously releasing magical power to attack a magical barrier below. The loud sound was the sound of him attacking the barrier below.
This gray-robed old man was able to fly in the air; it was obvious that he was a Great Archmage, and one with great strength. And in the magical barrier below, there was a white-bearded old man. Behind the white-bearded old man were several young people. At this moment, the white-bearded old man was holding a Magic Wand in his hand. At the top of the Magic Wand, there was a crystal ball. At this moment, the white-bearded old man was continuously injecting magical power into the Magic Wand to support the magical barrier outside them. However, his strength was obviously inferior to the gray-robed old man outside. With each attack by the gray-robed old man, his magical barrier would vibrate, and the light above the magical barrier would dim a little. Then, there would be an additional bead of sweat on his forehead.
Seeing the old man struggling to support the magical power barrier, a golden-haired young man behind him looked outside at the gray-robed old man, who was relentlessly attacking the magical power barrier, and said angrily, “Who the hell are you? We’ve already given you the Ice Flame Grass, so why are you still attacking us? We’re from the Pure White Magic Academy. Are you going to make our magic academy your enemy by doing this?”
“Hahaha, the reputation of the Pure White Magic Academy is so scary. Unfortunately, you have just admitted that you don’t know who I am. In that case, I can kill all of you in this desolate and uninhabited place. What can your Pure White Magic Academy do to me? Hahaha.” This gray-robed old man was obviously the type of person who had killed many people to plunder their treasures. He did not hide his murderous intent at all. After he had finished speaking, he laughed out loud and threw a few more spells down, smashing them so hard that the magical barrier flickered.
“Puu ~ ~ ~”
The old man finally could not hold out anymore. As the few spells from the gray-robed old man came crashing down, he suffered a backlash and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His magical power was a little scattered, and even the magical barrier protecting them was almost destroyed. He hurriedly increased the output of his magical power, and the magical barrier was instantly restored to its original state.
When the gray-robed old man outside saw the situation, he said unhurriedly, “I say, you guys better let go of the barrier obediently and then die obediently. I’ll let you guys suffer less. Otherwise, when I break the barrier, I’ll definitely torture you guys ruthlessly for a few days before letting you die from humiliation!”
When the people inside the barrier heard this, they became even more furious. The old man knew that the other party would definitely not let them off easily. At this moment, after hearing the other party’s words, he knew that it was definitely impossible for all of them to leave safely this time. Currently, the only solution was for him to do his best to delay the other party and then let the few juniors leave. This way, at least they would be able to survive and then report today’s incident to the academy. When the academy intervened, at least they would be able to take revenge for him.
The gray-robed old man in the sky was just about to continue to attack the barrier when his expression suddenly tensed up. He looked in a direction because he had sensed a powerful aura approaching rapidly. Moreover, this powerful aura far surpassed his. He was definitely not the other party’s match. More importantly, the other party had already locked onto his aura, and it even carried killing intent! This person had obviously come with ill intentions!
No, I must flee immediately!
Thinking of this, the gray-robed old man did not hesitate at all.. He abandoned the prey below and fled quickly.
