Anton’s party system consisted of his father, Anna, and Frederick. Since the two wizards would be added to the party all the time, he decided to add his father as well and maybe he might discover something new if a regular person was exposed to his auras for a long time.

He was not discounting anything since they did discover the huge benefit of drinking water made from his ice spells.

Frederick and Anna busied themselves memorizing their spells and casting them towards the mana power banks that needed recharging and everyone could see that the two mages were hugely excited.

Anton himself went inside his room but he didn’t close his door. He was debating if he should enter the world of Sanctuary virtually but because of the current dangerous situation, he decided to level up his Paladin character using the screen option instead. Doing what he called the “on-screen” option wherein he would play Diablo II as if he were playing in front of a computer instead of entering the world would allow him to keep his attention split between his system and the surrounding area.

He was breaking his promise to himself that he would enter the game to play a new character to make sure that his body got used to casting the spells of a specific character but he could always practice the skills at a later time. It was more important for Anton to be extra vigilant that day because there was a huge chance that the ghosts from the Undead Coalition would attack him since he was one of the mages who were in the battle with the three ghost ships.

At around lunchtime, he heard knocking on the door to their suite so Anton exited his Diablo II system to check it out. When Colin opened it, they were his four friends from New Drennor and a group of men carrying lunch he assumed was for everybody due to how much food there was.

“We’re here to deliver lunch!” Lucia loudly announced and everyone exited from their room excitedly.

“Thank you, Lucia. I was about to invite everyone for lunch,” Anders told the girl.

“You wouldn’t have found any open restaurants. The mages did capture three ghosts already and according to the supreme wizards who had gotten the information from the ghosts, how? I don’t know, that there were only three ghosts left,” Antonia said.

Anton’s father did not tell Antonia that they would not have gone out of the room to find lunch since they did have a lot of cooked food in Anton’s inventory and Ander’s ring. From what he knew, the others who had storage ring who was mostly everyone, would have copied Anton and kept a lot of cooked food in their storage items.

Because of the situation in the Rendindura continent, everyone was insecure about food, and the first thing that one would think of if they acquired a magic storage space item was to store food and drinks that would allow them to survive for a long time.

Still, the food that Anton’s friends from New Drennor were welcome. There was plenty of food and everyone began eating lunch buffet-style.

While they were eating, Devon mentioned that it was boring to stay in the room with nothing to do.

“After lunch, the mages in the family will continue practicing magic but you can go ahead and watch a new movie,” Anton told Lucas’s son.

Anna looked like she would protest and say she wanted to watch a film too but stopped when Anton glared at her. It did not need to be said but it was important for the mages to increase their power as soon as possible.

“I don’t think that we’ll be doing that. Today’s situation is very dangerous and I want everyone to be focused in their environment to make sure that any attack will be noticed immediately and if we’re watching a movie, our attention will be on that,” Anders said.

Suddenly, an announcement from the captain was blasted out from the ship’s hidden speakers or whatever magic they used that worked as speakers.

It was basically a repeat of what Antonia had told them about the ship’s mages capturing three of the enemies already and that there were only three left. The announcement ended with the captain promising that soon, all of the attackers would be captured.

“How did the ship’s mages capture the three ghosts?” Frederick asked.

“The three ghosts attacked three archmages simultaneously and they were located far apart from each other. Of course, archmages are powerful enough to defend themselves and they focus on defensive spells then according to the wizard that I was speaking with, three supreme wizards suddenly appeared where the attack was happening and used some sort of spell to capture them. Those supreme wizards are really very powerful,” Antonia said while shaking her head.

Frederick and Anna gasped when they heard how the ghosts were captured since they were the only ones who truly knew, as they were mages themselves, what kind of power would allow wizards to teleport to specific places to capture the enemy that they had somehow detected and use spells to capture the enemies that were capable of turning themselves invisible and pass through walls.

“Brother, can you do something like that?” Anna asked Anton and he simply said no.

Anton couldn’t even imagine how he could achieve something like that with his current set of spells and knew that he could no longer belittle the magic system of this world.

Because of the announcement from the captain, everyone knew that Anton’s father was right in not watching a movie at that time since they knew instinctively that the last enemies would be the most dangerous ones. After lunch, everyone went back to their room to do their things but they did keep their doors open.

Antonia, Lucia, Walter, and Phillip said their goodbyes and went out when they learned that there would be nothing to do in Anton’s suite for now.

Anton continued leveling up his Paladin character but decided to sit in one of the dining table’s chairs which was the center of the suite that could check everyone’s room.

After about an hour of leveling up a character, Anton noticed something in the corner of his eye so he immediately closed his game and inspected that corner. He roamed his eyes all over the place just to make sure. He was getting nervous so he immediately summoned all of his Spirit Wolves thinking that because the wolves were spirits, they should be able to see and attack spiritual things like ghosts. He also summoned the Oak Sage spirit.

The spirit wolves suddenly ran to one of the corners of the suite and when the light of the Oak Sage spirit appeared, a terrifying wraith appeared when the Oak Sage light was shed in that corner of the room.

The Spirit Wolves immediately attacked the wraith. Anton saw that the wraith was trying to bypass the wolves, most likely wanting to reach him but because there were five of them and the wolves’ attacks looked like they were effective against the wraith, it didn’t manage to reach him and kept receiving the damages from the attack of the wolves.

The Spirit Wolves were powerful, backed by the spell’s level and the Druid’s maximum level as well as the powerful items from the game made short work of the wraiths that he didn’t even need to cast spells to help the wolves and soon the ghost was destroyed.
