"Creak..."

Laurinka came out of her room. When she saw Merlin, she flashed him a smile. "Wizard Merlin are you ready?"

"More or less. Are we going to the Mission Hall now?"

"Let's go."

Laurinka nodded as she appeared calm. In these five days, she must have prepared herself but this was her private matter. Merlin should not ask about it.

Hence, both came to the Mission Hall together. At this time, Wizard Holmes and Wizard Ryllis had already arrived in the Mission Hall, both waiting silently for them.

"Wizard Laurinka, Wizard Merlin, if you're ready, let's depart," Holmes said in a low voice while shooting an emotionless look at Merlin and Laurinka.

Merlin and Laurinka both nodded as an acknowledgment. So, the four of them left the Mission Hall directly and reached an extremely spacious square. There were many mysterious Runic Magic Circles carved on the ground.

Merlin had seen such Runic Magic Circles before. They were about the same as the mysterious Runic Magic Circle in the Kurdish Mountains. It was this Magic Circle that had transported Merlin directly to the Dark Magic Region.

The Runic Magic Circles at the square should be the type of Runic Magic Circles that could transport people for a long distance. The ones who could set up such a strong Runic Magic Circle should at least be advanced Spell Casters who were Seventh-level and above. There would not be more than ten of such Spell Casters even in the Dark Magic Region.

Holmes was the one leading the four of them where he seemed to enjoy the attention as the decision maker in the group. He directly brought Merlin and the others to a part of the Runic Magic Circle.

It was obviously not Holmes' first time using these Runic Magic Circles. He seemed to know his way and could easily direct them to this part of the Runic Magic Circle. There were about ten Runic Magic Circles where each of them represented a faraway place. Thus, the group had to be clear about this or they might end up being transported to an unknown place.

"All ready? Then let's go!"

Holmes scanned the group, then reached out his finger and initiated the runes on the Dark Magic ring.

"Swoosh!"

A pillar of light shot up and Holmes disappeared into the Runic Magic Circles. He had already been transported to an unknown place.

Right behind him, Merlin and others also initiated the runes on their Dark Magic rings respectively. Three pillars of light flashed by and the three of them disappeared into the Runic Magic Circles.

Beside a clear stream, a few birds slowly touched down on the rocks protruding out of the stream, then stuck out their heads. When they were about to reach their sharp beaks into the water, a strange wave suddenly appeared in the stream, accompanied by a string of faint white light.

"Swoosh!"

A few figures appeared out of thin air. There was a total four of them and all seemed slightly pale.

"This place is?"

Merlin looked around and found that they were in a forest. Other than a few frightened creatures scurrying away, there was no one in sight.

"Sigh"

After making sure there was no danger, Merlin heaved a sigh of relief. This transportation experience was not exactly enjoyable. At the instant he was transported by the Runic Magic Circle, his mind had gone completely blank. His whole body felt as if it was experiencing a strong pressure.

When he was transported to the Kurdish Mountains the previous time, although he felt the pressure as well, it was not as intense as this time.

"Are you alright?"

Holmes' face was a little pale but he quickly recovered from it.

Laurinka and Ryllis both nodded their heads to indicate that they were alright. Thus, the group took out the map they received at the Mission Hall and looked at it carefully.

"According to what is shown on the map, this is probably the Kavennoch Mountains, three hundred miles to the east of Donglin City," Holmes said as he pointed at the map.

The Kingdom of Blackmoon was huge as it was formed from hundred thousand of city-states. Thus, when the Spell Casters of the Dark Magic Region went out for a mission, they would bring a map.

However, Merlin noticed a problem. Regardless of whether entering or leaving the Dark Magic Region, the Spell Casters had to rely on Runic Magic Circles. However, the Dark Magic Region was on a mysterious island where no one knew its exact location, so the Spell Casters whose Dark Magic rings were taken away due to various reasons could no longer find the Dark Magic Region after they were sent out from it.

The Spell Casters of the Dark Magic Region, even the official members of First-level and above and the Fourth-level spellCasters who could build their tower independently, did not know the exact location of the Dark Magic Region. Since its establishment, the Dark Magic Region had maintained its mystique.

Only the Seventh-level spellCasters and above, the central force of the Dark Magic Region, might know a little about the exact location of this place.

Wizard Holmes kept the map and said monotonously, "Let's go. We should hurry up. We may reach Donglin City in one day."

The team of four then began to walk along the stream and toward the outer area of the mountains.

"Sir Marquis, at the outskirts west of Donglin City today, twenty-eight bodies are found. All of them are in a terrible, bloody state. Some of their limbs are missing and their blood was sucked dry," a tall muscular man who wore an armor said.

Marquis Barossa was sitting on his wide large chair. As the supreme commander and the actual ruler of the whole Donglin city-state, he had numerous hundred thousand of knights under his command. However, he furrowed his eyebrows and wore a worried look.

"Wizard Pario, you've been investigating this matter over the last few days. Is it the Dark Vampire Bat's doing?" Marquis Barossa could not help but asked a black-robed Wizard beside him.

Wizard Pario also frowned and replied in a serious tone, "O' respectable Sir Marquis, after my investigation these few days, I'm afraid there are truly some evil Darkness-type Elemental Monsters in Donglin City. The Dark Vampire Bats have appeared and there are a lot of them around."

Marquis Barossa quickly questioned, "Since it's the Dark Vampire Bats, is there any solution to this problem?"

Wizard Pario thought for a while and answered, "The Dark Vampire Bats are very odd. They're not afraid of normal attacks but they fear being frozen. So, to deal with these Dark Vampire Bats, we must find their nest first. Then, we bring a few strong Ice Swordsmen, Fourth-level and above, to destroy them."

As soon as Marquis Barossa heard there was a solution, he relaxed a little and continued, "Alright. Wizard Pario, please bring some people and eliminate these Dark Vampire Bats."

Wizard Pario squinted his eyes and looked around. Then, he showed a light smile. "I only need Wizard Simp and Marshal Wharton to come with me. Also, please send thirty Ice Swordsmen, Fourth-level and above, to aid me."

"Alright. Wizard Simp, I'm sorry to trouble you, but please go with Wizard Pario to eliminate the Dark Vampire Bats."

Marquis Barossa paused for a short while before turning his gaze at the muscular armored man. Then, he ordered in a low voice, "Marshal Wharton, choose thirty Ice Swordsmen who are Fourth-level and above and go with Wizard Pario."

The armored man nodded, then turned around and left to choose the Ice Swordsmen.

"I hope we can completely eliminate these Dark Vampire Bats this time around."

Marquis Barossa heaved a long sigh and set an expectant gaze.
