Chapter 443

Is this Merlin a bit too watery?

Although most wizards could only lie down when being attacked by lightning in the case of not knowing Murphy's ability, this person was the legendary god of wizards after all. Murphy actually didn't intend to defeat the enemy in one move. The lightning just now was just a test.

Is this guy really Merlin?

Murphy thought while going up to add a Petrification Curse to the Merlin on the ground, and then stepped into the cave behind the door. This old man would still be useful later. As a magic master of Camelot, he must know many secrets that ordinary people couldn't touch.

Behind the door was actually a massive hollow cave. The spiral stairs extended downward along the inner wall of the cave, all the way to the area where the lights were difficult to illuminate. Many caves were dug around the cave, and fences were installed, looking like cells.

Murphy went down all the way. Most of the cells were empty, and even the prisoners in some cells had turned into white bones.

Suddenly Murphy heard a massive roar, as if an airplane was taking off underground.

Immediately, a scorching and corrupt aura surged up from the cave, and its stench made one want to vomit upon hearing it.

Yet at this moment, Murphy heard a voice.

"Great Serpent..."

"Death Dragon..."

"I offer you the flesh and blood of the blasphemer, the oath-breaker, and the faithless..."

"No, no, please..."

Then, Murphy heard a distant scream. Suddenly, two balls of fire lit up in the darkness below, like red-hot soldering irons, and also like underground magma, but instantly illuminated half of the depths of the cave.

In that light, Murphy saw a figure screaming in horror, waving his limbs wildly and falling down.

Yet at this moment, those two balls of fire shook violently, and then a massive crack opened from the abyss. The thick darkness was stirred up, and the light from above finally managed to break into that bottomless abyss. Only then did Murphy see the appearance of that thing clearly.

It was actually an incomparably massive dragon, trapped at the bottom of the cave like a massive well. It was pitch black, the same color as the night, and a pair of carbon-fire-like eyes indifferently stared at everything above, then opened its mouth as massive as a crack in the earth, and swallowed that pitiful figure into its belly in one bite.

At the same time, he also saw a wizard in a black robe on a protruding stone platform below, holding a massive magic staff, commanding soldiers to drive more than ten ragged figures to the edge of the stone platform.

Those soldiers all held long spears, continuously forcing the people on the cliff edge to retreat, but the space on the edge of the stone platform was not large to begin with. Before long, two more people screamed and fell down, and were swallowed by the dragon below.

After five or six more people were pushed off the cliff, suddenly Murphy heard a roar: "Enough!"

On the other side above the high platform, several soldiers were grabbing a woman with silver-white long hair. The moment he heard her voice, Murphy suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Sophia, no, this one here should be Miriam.

"Salazar! You are a wizard after all, is slaughtering these ordinary people who don't know magic interesting to you?!" Miriam questioned loudly.

"Don't be anxious, Miriam," the wizard on the high platform turned around, revealing a thin and narrow face, "It will be your turn soon. The flesh and blood of a prophet will surely please it."

"Bowing at the feet of gods, and even not hesitating to use the flesh and blood of your own kind to please the other party, you are as humble and disgusting as your teacher!"

"How peculiar," the wizard named Salazar sneered coldly, "What kind of magic have you been possessed by? Merlin is also your teacher. Didn't you always listen to your teacher the most in the past?"

"That's because I thought he was that person! I thought his actions were to help us defeat those gods. But he is just a clown, a lackey! He is not that Merlin, he is just a buffoon replacing that great name!"

"Ah, another guy who pretends to care about the life and death of those No-Majs, you are as stupid as Gryffindor!" Salazar sneered disdainfully.

"We are wizards, we are children of gods, and we are not the same kind as those mortals!"

"What morality, what fate of humanity, are all lies. Only increasing one's own magic power and mastering powerful strength is the only correct path!"

"So what if you bow at the feet of gods? They are much stronger than us! Resistance is only a dead end! Pleasing them can instead get power! Only fools will fight against them! It's just some mortal lives, taking them to exchange for some power, letting oneself live longer, what's wrong with that?!"

"It seems that being a lackey for others makes you very happy." Miriam mocked.

Salazar seemed to be angered, grabbed Miriam's throat: "You think you are very noble? Believing in some savior, how are you any different from those stupid mortals who worship these gods?!"

"Hmph!" Salazar sneered, "What kind of bullshit savior, how is it any different from the stupid words of those Christians? In such a world, strength, only one's own strength is the only reliance! Wait until I become..."

Before he finished speaking, suddenly with a bang, the cave shook.

"Veil... Ka... Dong!"

The dragon below suddenly let out a deafening low roar.

Its body struggled, seemingly wanting to stand up, yet at this moment, two golden-like brilliance lit up in the abyss. Those were two cross-like long spears, and the dragon's wings were nailed by the two long spears, firmly fixed at the bottom of the abyss, only able to lie on its body.

Salazar knew this was the dragon urging to continue the sacrifice. He let go of Miriam and turned back to roar: "What are you doing?! Why stop!"

But several soldiers seemed to be frozen and didn't move. He was wondering when suddenly he saw several ravens land on the shoulders of those untouchables, and then with a flash of lightning, they and the ravens all disappeared.

"Who?!" Salazar roared in shock and anger.

But behind him, lightning flashed again. Turning his head, this time even Miriam was gone.

He was stunned. Suddenly, a young man in a black robe appeared in front of him.

"You are..." Before Salazar finished speaking, he saw the other party raise a hand, and with a "bang", a massive impact threw him and those soldiers into the air, and then they fell toward the abyss below.

Salazar was horrified, but his reaction was very fast, waving the magic staff in his hand, releasing a Cushioning Charm.

However, below, the dragon had already opened its massive mouth, and its magma-like dragon eyes indifferently stared at him, waiting to swallow him in one bite.

"Teacher, save me!" Salazar suddenly shouted.

Suddenly, an arm above crossed a distance of several tens of feet, like a rope, wrapped around his body a few times, and then pulled upward fiercely, pulling him out of the cave.

"Merlin" retracted that arm like a giant python. He was scorched all over, his face was pitch black, and he was even still rolling his eyes, but he stared at the young wizard in front of him.

Murphy had just brought Miriam away and was preparing to come back to bring the unconscious Merlin away for interrogation, but the latter suddenly faked death, his arm became long like eating a rubber fruit, saving Salazar, and his aura also became strange, making him unable to grasp the path for a while.

Thinking about it, Murphy turned into lightning and disappeared again.

Anyway, his purpose was originally to see Miriam, so it was better to figure out what was going on from her first.

After Murphy left, Salazar came to Merlin, still terrified: "Teacher, who was that just now?"

Merlin didn't pay attention to her. His body twitched for a while. After a good while, his rolling eyes finally returned to normal. He came to the side of the cave and took a look at the abyss below, frowning.

"Plan ahead," he said, "Prepare the ritual, release Nidhogg."
