Chapter 142: Lord Astrologer, Stop!

“Ron, what do you mean?”

Audrey turned around when she heard Ron’s question.

“I mean what I asked. Audrey, I want to know why we are here!” Ron, who had transformed into a giant wolf, asked as drool dripped down his teeth. “If we’re here to destroy Blackmoon Castle, then Lord Astrologer can do that by himself. There’s no need for us at all! If you’re just using this as an excuse to get rid of me, then forget it!”

Audrey frowned; she was displeased to hear the apparent resentment in Ron’s words.

Did she need the astrologer to attack Ron? She could have done it herself. Ron was only a pawn; he was nothing. ‘

Of course, she understood why he was angry with her.

Audrey looked behind her.

A bronze-tier water-elemental mage from the Mage Guild cast a wave-shaped magical barrier around his body. However, rocks flew everywhere when the Primordial Demoness and the rock giant fought in the distance. It pierced through the mage’s magical barrier and broke his body into pieces.

Some of the mages had gathered to release a combination spell to teleport themselves to a safe place. However, before they could even look at each other and rejoice, some other spells blasted their location.

Similar situations happened everywhere on the battlefield. The astrologer and the mysterious platinum-tier elite had already used their full strength, so there was no need to worry about them anymore. Fortunately, a few Mage Guild elders that she had brought with her were still safe and sound.

“President Audrey, what should we do next?” A few mages, led by her vice president, were surrounded by different spells. They divided their tasks and worked together to reverse the spells from the battle.

The vice president was trained in fire-elemental magic, and Anna was in charge of blasting the spells. The two of them held their wands in their hands as fireballs the size of human heads constantly tore out of their wands and crushed things like stones and light waves. As for Hilbert, who was known as the unbreakable barrier, he stuck his armor-covered hands into the ground. Then, two thick walls and other things rose from the earth.

Things continued to hit the wall, and they could hear the loud sound when they struck it. However, the wall did not break.

A few mages continued to cast spells as they asked Audrey with a wry smile.

Just a day ago, they thought it would be a good idea to fight against evil forces with the astrologer. If they could choose again, they would rather stay in the Mage Guild and take a nap than go there.

At least they would not die if they had stayed in the Mage Guild.

“Be careful. I’ll handle that.”

After a moment of silence, Audrey walked silently to the astrologer, who was still casting his spells. “Lord Astrologer, should we change our battle plan? I understand that you’re powerful, but it’s a little difficult for me and my subordinates to endure such a high-intensity battle.”

“This isn’t a high-intensity battle.”

As the astrologer spoke, he wiped his sweat discreetly and glanced around him. “But, of course, Audrey, you’re different from me. I haven’t been outside in a long time, so I got a little carried away in my excitement. I almost forgot that you can’t help in such a battle yet. Yes, there’s no point in continuing to bombard our opponent with more spells. I will do as you suggested and change our battle plan.”

The astrologer was already tired. However, he could not stop because of his arrogance.

He had planned to cast a spell and pressure his opponent into acknowledging his strength. He did not expect that the other party would not be afraid of him; they even fought with him.

“I wonder how that mysterious elite, who created new magical elements, has such a strong endurance. We have been fighting for so long, but he still hasn’t used the new type of magic yet. Have I gotten so old?”

The astrologer stroked his beard; he felt a little disappointed. Then, he waved his staff and wrote four huge words in the air.

[Temporary Truce]

Those four huge words could be seen no matter how far away anyone was. Each word was made up of glittering golden light; they looked majestic.

The astrologer had used his ability to change the layout of magical elements to form those words.

After he wrote those words, magic from both sides immediately stopped at the same time. The astrologer looked at Audrey and said, “You sound like you have a plan. Tell me about them.”

“Lord Astrologer, my idea is very simple. You will be responsible for restraining the enemy’s platinum-tier elite while we sneak into Blackmoon Castle. We’ll capture the castle owner or perhaps their family, and I believe that the elite will surrender. The castle will not have that many platinum-tier elites,” Audrey said before she cleared her throat.

Her thoughts had been different from her words, but she would do anything as long as she could get the astrologer to stop the fight with the platinum-tier elite.

“Hmm… that’s a good idea.” The astrologer stroked his beard; he was about to nod when someone exclaimed from behind him.

“Look, there are a few words in the distance. Can you see what’s that?”

“It seems to be… What? The people from Blackmoon Castle are too daring.”

The astrologer looked into the sky and saw a row of words above Blackmoon Castle. It seemed like they were formed by water-elemental magic.

[Who are you? Why should I listen to you?]

The astrologer’s mouth twitched. That was the first time that someone had dared to speak to him like that.

[I am an astrologer.]

The astrologer waved his hand and wrote in the sky.

The other side quickly responded.

[Who cares what you are; are you still going to fight? If you are not going to fight, then quickly kneel and admit your mistake. Make up for Blackmoon Castle’s loss. Maybe I can let you off if I am in a good mood.]

“Such big words!” The astrologer was so angry that he sneered. Then he wrote in the sky again.

[You were not even born yet when I roamed the kingdom. Such big words; be careful that you can’t act on it later.]

[Just one answer—are you going to fight or not?]

[I stopped the fight for everyone’s sake. I do not like killing; you should thank me for my mercy. If I had not shown mercy, your place would be a pile of ashes now.]

[Cut the crap, I’m asking if you want to fight or not.]

[F*ck!]

The veins on the astrologer’s forehead throbbed. He had lived for hundreds of years, and he was a very cultured person. However, he could not stand the other party’s repeated provocations, especially in front of a group of outsiders. They might think that he could not put up a fight; he might lose his dignity.

“Even if I have to die here today and my magic power exhausted, I will bombard Blackmoon Castle with spells until there is nothing left. Platinum-tier spell—” The astrologer raised his staff; he was about to chant a spell when two people rushed forward and hugged his arms.

“Lord Astrologer, that’s enough. Let us do our part.” Audrey hugged his left hand as the corners of her mouth twitched.

“Forget it, Lord Astrologer. You are too noble to mess with those ignorant men from Blackmoon Castle. How demeaning! Let us help you with this problem.” Ron hugged the older man’s right arm; his face had twitched as well.

It was not only the two of them. The other men also looked at the astrologer with pitiful eyes. They said in unison, “Yes, please, stop this fight. We can’t let you be the only person to fight in this battle. It’s our turn.” They did not want the astrologer to start the fight again; they wanted to live for a few more days.
