Merlin was not adept at riding horses, so he sat in the carriage. He pulled the curtain open and stared forward directly. Wilson Castle could already be seen from far away.

Suddenly, a thick smell of blood hit him as the cold wind blew. Merlin’s expression changed and immediately jumped off the carriage. He said to Prat, “Uncle Prat, let’s stop first!”

At this time, the bloody stench had obviously hit Prat as well. His expression turned grim.

“This direction. It’s Wilson Castle!”

After identifying the direction where the stench was coming from, Merlin could not wait any longer. He dashed forward and arrived before Wilson Castle in one breath. At his current position, he could see many horrifying bodies lying around in the castle. They were the servants and guards whom he was very familiar with in Wilson Castle.

“D*mn it!” Merlin cursed. With Prat, he strode into the castle.

“Hmm? Merlin, you weren’t dead. You even came back?” Tirath brought his men out of the castle quickly and met Merlin.

Both sides had drawn their swords. The atmosphere was tense.

“Tirath! Where’s Macy?” Merlin’s face was grim. He scanned the bodies on the ground and did not find Macy’s.

Tirath did not answer. Instead, he showed a hint of excitement. He quickly pointed to Merlin as he said to the white-robed men who wore silver armor beside him, “Two Guardian Swordsmen, he’s Wilson’s son!”

These two white-robed men were the Guardian Swordsmen sent by Wizard Jason. They exchanged a glance and howled in a deep voice, “Kill him!”

At once, the Guardian Swordsman emitted white light. They were surprisingly two First-level Light Swordsmen. They came aiming at Merlin directly.

Upon seeing the horrible sight of bodies around Wilson Castle, Merlin was already boiling with a killing intent. His eyes stared deadly at Tirath without even sparing a glance at the Guardian Swordsmen.

“Get out of my way!” Merlin took a big stride toward Tirath.

Since he had practiced the posture of the mysterious relief sculpture, his physical attribute was not any less compared to a First-level Elemental Swordsman, possibly even stronger. Thus, his speed was remarkable. A few steps already covered a few meters distance.

The Guardian Swordsmen showed a hint of surprise. They could feel that Merlin was not an Elemental Swordsman, but his physical attribute had gone beyond their imagination.

However, the next event surprised them even more. Merlin curled his hands and two fist-sized flames appeared suddenly in his hands.

“Swoosh.”

Merlin pointed with his finger and the fireballs flashed slightly and made strokes of shadows in the air. At incredible speed, they headed straight toward the Guardian Swordsmen.

“Not good. It’s the spell of evil heretic!”

The Guardian Swordsmen were still considered knowledgeable. They immediately recognized the fireballs released by Merlin was a spell, but they were already too late in dodging the fireballs.

Along with the growth of Merlin’s Mind Power, he had gradually mastered the control of Fireball. His fireball could come and go like a shadow as he pleased. Once Fireball had been cast, even a Third-level Elemental Swordsman could not dodge it. Then, how could two First-level Elemental Swordsmen dodge it?

“Bang! Bang!”

Two fireballs landed a solid crash on the Guardian Swordsmen’s chest. Their light armor could not defend them against the terrifying heat from the fireballs.

Thus, a bloody hole was burnt through their chests by the fireball. The Light Element within them immediately disappeared while their bodies fell onto the ground heavily.

This happened in the blink of an eye. Two strong Guardian Swordsmen had died while Merlin’s figure did not even pause and continued to dash toward Tirath.

Tirath was already dumbfounded. It was the knights beside him, albeit scared, bravely blocked in front of him and prepared to protect Tirath.

As for these knights who were not even Elemental Swordsmen, Merlin did not bother to waste his Magic Power. He attacked the knights beside Tirath with his punch which was like the wind.

Merlin’s physical attribute was near to the best of a First-level Elemental Swordsman. Naturally, it was easy to defeat the knights.

“Sh*t!” There was no one beside to protect Tirath now. Merlin’s gaze set upon Tirath.

“Tirath, where’s Macy?” Merlin approached Tirath step by step as he asked in a cold tone. At the same time, a fireball emitting horrifying heat appeared out of thin air in front of him and floated silently in the air.

Looking at this fireball, Tirath’s face turned pale and stared at Merlin in fear. He did not know what he should do now.

When Merlin wanted to grab Tirath and questioned him, many knights suddenly came into the castle, yelling as they charged toward Merlin.

Tirath had brought two hundred knights. In number, it was more than the number of knights Merlin had brought. However, he did not care at all. Looking at the charging knights, a cold hint of killing intent flashed in his gaze.

“Explode!”

Merlin pointed at the few knights in front and the floating fireball quickly flew forward. It then exploded according to Merlin’s Mind Power.

The fist-like fireball released a strong impact. The knights who were closest to it were directly blown off and they fell to the ground, their armors crumbled completely.

Meanwhile, the knights who were further away were burnt by the remaining flames after the fireball had exploded. All of them laid on the ground and howled in pain.

At the same time, Prat also pulled out his sword. With a loud howl, he led one hundred knights and dashed toward Tirath’s knights. Even though they were less in number, their spirit was high. Moreover, they were supported by Merlin’s Fireball. In great force, they defeated Tirath’s knights, leaving them with many casualties. Only a small number of people ran away from Wilson Castle.

In Wilson Castle, it was covered with bodies of Tirath’s knights and servants of the castle. Many bodies were mixed together, transforming the whole Wilson Castle into a living hell.

“Young Master Merlin!”

Prat walked forward in large stride. His armor had already turned bright red. His face stained with blood as well. It was not known whether the blood was from Prat or his enemy.

“Have you found her?”

“Young Master Merlin, I’ve looked all over the place. Young Lady Macy, the butler and Madam’s bodies are not found throughout the castle.” Prat smiled.

As long as they did not find the bodies, that proved Macy and others were still alive.

Tirath was lying on the ground at this moment. His expression was ashen because he had become Merlin’s captive.

Merlin looked at Tirath, flashing a cold smile at him. He turned around and said to Prat, “Uncle Prat, I’ll leave Tirath with you.”

“Hehe. Be at rest, Young Master Merlin. One hundred and forty-eight lives of Wilson Castle. I’ll collect that debt from him.”

Tirath’s blood-stained face also flashed a gruesome smile.

Merlin did not care about Tirath anymore. He headed straight toward Old Wilson’s room. In his heart, he had already guessed the place where Macy and others were hiding at.

“Why isn’t there any sound?” Macy who was still hiding in the basement asked softly. She had heard the footsteps out there earlier but all of them had disappeared suddenly.

The butler thought for a while before saying, “Young Lady Macy, we should wait a little longer. Maybe some changes have occurred and they have left temporarily. We should not be rash. Staying here is the safest.”

Macy nodded too. The heart that had jumped to her throat had gradually relaxed as well.

“Ka-chak.”

Right at this moment, the entrance of the basement before Macy opened slowly.

“Not good. We’re found!”

Macy took a deep breath, then raised her sword up high. She would fight for their lives.

A figure slowly walked into the passage. Macy did not hesitate any longer. When the passage was opened, her sword also slashed toward the figure fiercely.
