Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 443: Aunt

Throwing several Magic Stones, they used the power of the stones to open the Nef Magic Mirror, and the three of them instantly arrived at a spacious square.

Carl scanned the created illusion, pondering:

A good Nef Magic Mirror can be used dozens of times, while a bad one breaks after only a few uses. Sometimes you just have to use it, which means there’s a constant stream of buyers. The Andrew family, just by making these mirrors, can earn a fortune... However, the illusions created by the magic mirror truly blur the line between reality and fiction. No wonder their family has remained dominant for hundreds of years.

Gathering his thoughts, he dismissed the distractions and spoke to the two, "First, battle so I can watch."

"Yes!" Gerry respectfully agreed.

Harvey just snorted lightly. His face expressionless, he lifted his Knight Sword and pointed it toward Gerry. "Come on!"

"Okay." Gerry nodded and drew the twin blades at her waist.

Her weapons were not imbued with witchcraft, just ordinary forged items; fortunately, they were still solid and sharp.

"Be careful!"

With a low shout, Gerry charged forward.

She came from humble beginnings, fighting from a young age in the lower levels of the Magic Forest. To become a Great Knight, luck played a role, but talent was equally important. Her combat experience was also rich due to many battles.

The twin blades crossed, and the murderous aura suddenly intensified, like a bone-chilling wind rushing at one’s face, sending shivers down the spine.

The first time Harvey had dueled Gerry, he was startled by the murderous aura exuding from her and had responded in a panic.

Now...

CLINK!

The Knight Sword was raised slightly, striking her blade with perfect precision and interrupting Gerry’s follow-up moves.

"Ha!"

Gerry let out a low shout, her speed suddenly increasing. Her twin swords, combined with her movement technique, attacked Harvey from various angles.

Angel’s Sting! She was employing, quite clearly, certain Magic Doors from Angel’s Sting.

The sudden burst, however, didn’t make Harvey flinch; instead, he naturally accelerated his sword swing to counter.

The Magic Door, similarly, came from Angel’s Sting.

Carl’s eyes flickered.

Both Gerry and Harvey possessed considerable talent on the Knight Path, at least greater than his own when he wasn’t aided by a Divine Domain Fragment.

That’s normal. Considering their young age yet significant progress, it would be problematic if their talents weren’t adequate. I just didn’t expect that in only two months, relying on some texts I left, they could achieve this level. Hmm... Comparatively speaking, Harvey has better talent!

Not only was his talent superior, but Harvey’s foundation was also more solid, and he had progressed further on the Knight Path than Gerry.

If it truly came to a fight, it would take at least three Gerrys working together to gain the upper hand.

Moreover, Harvey, as the young master of the Walker family, possessed many valuable items, something Gerry couldn’t compare to.

It’s just a pity...

"Stop!"

Carl raised his hand, and an invisible force brutally separated the two combatants. "Harvey, have you practiced other Holy Skills?"

"Holy Skills?" Harvey’s eyes flickered. "You mean legendary martial skills, right?"

"I studied under my granduncle for a while, but I couldn’t truly master it due to insufficient Cultivation."

This world indeed had Holy Skills; they were just known as legendary martial skills. Carl had momentarily forgotten to switch terms.

Similarly, legendary martial skills were very rare. Only Legendary Knights could truly master them, and very few people possessed such abilities.

One of the reasons Harvey could endure Carl’s two-month absence was the chance to learn a Holy Skill.

"Hmm."

Nodding, Carl slowly spoke, "Your talent on the Knight Path is very high. Just by reading the texts, you’ve managed to grasp the basics of Angel’s Sting..."

"Angel’s Sting is the name of that Holy Skill of mine."

Harvey’s eyes lit up.

"I will teach you the true Angel’s Sting; consider it your tuition fee," Carl’s voice was calm. "First, switch to a rapier."

Upon hearing this, Harvey’s face showed no smile; instead, it darkened. Then, he seemed to rally his spirits and nodded.

「Soon」

The two bid farewell and left.

Watching their departing figures, Carl let out a soft sigh. "What a pity!" he murmured, shaking his head as he returned to the shop.

The talents of the two young people were very high, especially Harvey’s. Alas, he had no inherited Bloodline.

This meant...

Without special opportunities, Great Knight would be their limit!

Gerry, for her part, wasn’t as concerned. She still had significant room for improvement, and even with opportunities, becoming a Legendary Knight was not guaranteed.

Harvey was different!

His path as a Great Knight was almost at its end. No matter how hard he trained, he could only refine his techniques and skills, not increase his Cultivation. He would never be able to contend with an Official Wizard.

This feeling of seeing one’s limit but being powerless to overcome it was truly despairing.

Carl had agreed to teach him Angel’s Sting, yet Harvey wasn’t particularly happy, and this was the reason.

Even if he learned it, what then?

Without becoming Legendary, one can never truly master it!

"Forget it."

Shaking his head, Carl shrugged. "Everyone has their own destiny. As an outsider, it’s best to just quietly observe."

"Speaking of observing... There’s something off about that Gerry girl!"

Gerry had arrived in a hurry, with a flickering gaze.

Although she tried hard to appear natural, she couldn’t fool the keen perception of a powerhouse at the First Rank Late Stage.

What is she up to? I hope it doesn’t involve me!

Since their relationship was that of employer and employee, signing another contract was only natural.

And the symbol of the Master of Essence on the contract allowed Carl to ’see’ Gerry to some extent.

「...」

「Leaving the shop」

Gerry quickly walked toward the periphery of the Dream Market.

After avoiding others’ gazes and leaving the market, she cautiously looked around, then took a letter from her person.

Anglie! What could he want with me?

Although Anglie had become a bit strange after the ordeal in the secret realm, their friendship hadn’t completely vanished.

Considering their past friendship, Gerry thought it over and finally decided to go.

Upon reaching the location specified in the letter, the surrounding trees swayed, but there was no sign of Anglie.

She waited a bit longer.

Gerry slowly shook her head, deciding to leave.

WHOOSH...

Not far away, the trees shook, and a figure burst out, silently landing behind Gerry.

"Gerry!"

SWOOSH!

Gerry suddenly turned, twin blades in hand, instinctively about to swing. However, she relaxed when she recognized the newcomer.

"It’s you."

"Jumping out like that gave me quite a fright. What are you up to?"

"Sorry," Anglie answered expressionlessly, his voice cold. "I’m in some trouble right now, so it’s not convenient for me to show myself. Did you have something urgent that required you to see me?"

"See you?" Gerry was stunned. "Wasn’t it you who called me here?"

A hush fell over the area.

The expressions of both instantly darkened.

"Go!"

Anglie uttered a low command. With a single wave of his hand, a Gale swept Gerry up and hurled her backward.

At the same time, rustling noises came from the dense forest, as figures who had long been lying in ambush nearby appeared one after another.

"Trying to leave?" a voice uttered a low shout. "Do you think you can escape?"

Gerry clenched her silver teeth. Upon landing, she pushed off powerfully with her feet, her body moving like an agile leopardess.

The ambushers’ target was Anglie; she was merely a decoy, and few of them paid her any attention.

This was her chance!

SWOOSH!

Several Wind Blade chains attacked from the side, aiming to wrap around her waist.

Zero-Circle Magic! An Advanced Wizard Apprentice!

Gerry’s heart sank. Her twin blades flashed out, employing the power-generating techniques of Angel’s Sting.

BANG!

The Wind Blade chains were shattered by her twin blades.

It seemed the attacking Advanced Wizard Apprentice wasn’t very strong; at least, they didn’t pose much of a threat to a Great Knight.

SWOOSH!

Gerry’s heart leaped with joy, and she accelerated forward, but she failed to notice the earth in front of her rippling and abruptly rising.

Earth Wall Skill!

THUD!

Gerry collided head-on with the earth wall, smashing a hole through it, but her body was also smeared with mud.

Restraint! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The mud on her body transformed into ropes, snaking towards her arms and legs.

THUMP...

Gerry lost her balance and tumbled to the ground, her heart filling with despair.

Meanwhile, Anglie, the former Wizard Apprentice, erupted with astonishing strength, single-handedly holding off two Wizards.

An Official Wizard! He had evidently become an Official Wizard, and his methods were uncanny, allowing him to fight two opponents without being at a disadvantage.

"Are you Gerry?"

Just as despair filled Gerry’s eyes and the ambushers closed in, a gentle voice spoke, "The girl Harvey has been mentioning so often lately?"

Huh?

Gerry abruptly looked up to see a beautiful woman gazing at her kindly, simultaneously causing the approaching ambushers to halt.

An Official Wizard!

"I’m Harvey’s paternal aunt."

The woman crouched down. Her slender fingers lightly traced over Gerry, and the witchcraft binding her body unwound.

"I’ve been hearing him mention you so much lately that I became curious and followed. I never expected to encounter something like this."

Shaking her head with a smile, she glanced back at the scene, then reached out and took Gerry’s arm. "I’ll take you out of here first."
