Chapter 292

Anton’s unrelenting casting of the spell Meteor brought an awed expression to the surrounding archmages and even the three Supreme Wizards looked impressed when he stole a glance at them.

He kept observing the three most powerful wizards there since Anton didn’t want to rouse any curiosity from them that would invoke a desire from them to want to know more about him. He did not want to end up as an experimental subject in one of their tables although that paranoia was formed by his imagination that resulted in over-consuming media content from his previous world but it could not hurt to be careful.

One curious thing that Anton thought about was why were the three ghost ships not attacking them. Since their spells could reach the ghost ships, it was impossible for the undead ships to not have something the same so he asked the mage beside him.

“The powerful undead mages or liches in the ships don’t want any damage happening to our ship since they plan to convert it as their ghost ship and they want to capture the people here so we can either be their food, slaves, or sacrifices to increase their undead power. The problem is, if they think that we are on the verge of escaping, then they will use their spells to try to cripple the Amelia. That is one of the times that our Supreme Wizards will work to block the undead wizards’ spells.”

Anton returned his focus on bombarding the ship with the Meteor spell but the three ghost ships were relentless in pursuing them. Even though the three ghost ships were delayed by their attacks, Anton could see that the three undead ships were inching towards them slowly.

Suddenly for a split second, the shields that were protecting the three enemy ships cracked and a hole in their defenses appeared. Anton did not know what spell created that gap, it could be his rain of meteors or the other mages' spells which were very powerful based on the energies that he could feel coming from those spells, or a combination of all the spells together.

Anton used that gap to summon all of his summons in the ghost ships and concentrated the attack on a single ship to make sure that the power of his summons was focused on a single ghost ship. A terrifying gigantic Dire Bear, eight ferocious Dire Wolves, eight magical spirit wolves, eight magical ravens, a huge aggressive clay golem and a magical spirit which was Anton’s Oak Sage summon from the druid skill tree appeared on the leading ship of the three ghost ships and wreaked havoc on everything.

The beasts were relentless in their attack and the animals seemed like they did not care about their well-being at all and kept on attacking regardless of the damage they had received. The Oak Sage boosted the health of all of the summons massively.

The Dire Wolves and the Spirit Wolves expertly coordinated with each other and their teamwork brought humongous damage to the undead in the ship. The Clay Golem concentrated on destroying the ship while the huge Dire Bear tried to destroy everything in sight, be it the undead or the ship.

Due to the Dire Bear’s massive size, the undead wizards that appeared concentrated their attack on the bear but before the bear was utterly destroyed, which Anton proudly saw took a massive effort from the undead, it brought one wizard with it before it fell.

The eight dire wolves and eight spirit wolves also concentrated their attacks on the undead wizards and the clay golem turned its gaze to them as well. The Ravens just attacked anything that was in their sight.

Soon, three undead wizards fell from the attack of the wolves and the golems but of course, Anton knew that if the wizards were liches, that meant that the only thing the summoned destroyed were the vessels that the liches were using and if their phylacteries were hidden somewhere, soon the liches would revive.

The wolves fell one after another but the summons attack was successful in causing a massive delay since it paralyzed the central ship where Anton’s animals were summoned. The other two ships had to stop to assist the lead ghost ship.

It took the undead several minutes to wipe out all the summons and Anton would have summoned the animals again but the hole in the magic force field that appeared was fixed. While the summons was trying to lay waste the undead ship, Anton and the other mages did not stop casting their spells.

When all of the summons were destroyed, Anton signaled to the wizards below that his spells were exhausted and would like to take a break. Of course, it was not true. Anton just wanted to divert the attention of the supreme wizards away from him since it was obvious that the amount of damage and delay he had caused to the three ghost ships was almost equal to the damage and delay that all the wizards on the platforms caused combined.

The seven mages that were part of his party system also signaled that they would like to be replaced as well so the other wizards flew toward them as their replacement.

While Anton was resting, he observed what the other wizards in the platforms who replaced them were going to do, like which spells they were using, or what their expertise was. He wanted to gain inspiration from them like what was the most effective spells to use or what the best spell combinations were.

Observing the mages who were attacking the three ghost ships brought Anton a lot of inspiration and he even thought about new magic items he could create.

The seven wizards who Anton added to his party system were memorizing their spells near him, almost surrounding him and the others were looking at them curiously.

The three supreme wizards who were observing the action of the ghost ships turned their attention to Anton and his group. It was obvious that they had caught the powerful wizards’ attention. Two of the supreme wizards walked towards Anton while the third one kept on concentrating on the ship.

Anton guessed that they all could not take their eyes away from the enemy ships since the moment they attacked with spells, one of them would have to make sure that the Amelia was defended.

“Wizard Sunder, am I right? I’m Supreme Numinor, one of the supreme wizards here in Amelia. I’m impressed by your power and at such a young age at that. If I understand correctly, you’re only seventeen right? In the history of humans, the known wizards who achieved your level of power at that age can be counted on one hand,” One of the supreme wizards said when they reached Anton's resting spot.

“Thank you for your praise, Supremes. To be candid with you, I was forced to achieve this level of power because I knew that this was the only way for me, my family, and my friends to survive while we were running from the Undead Coalition. My country had been destroyed and all the other places that we’ve run to were conquered by the undead. Up until now, we’re still running and even here at the ocean, the undead are still pursuing us so power is truly needed.”

“I’m Supreme Setoro and I know that there are probably opportunities that you’ve encountered to increase your power severely in such a short time and most of those had corresponding consequences but I understand your choice. The reason we’re here is we noticed that the mages that were near you seemed to benefit from one of your support spells. It appeared that the rate they could memorize their spells again was shortened massively. Can we learn more about that spell?” Anton knew that his Meditation Aura would be noticed by the powerful wizards so he prepared himself to give some explanation that the wizards could accept.
