Chapter 321

Anton was reminiscing about the Harry Potter book that he had read when a classmate lent him the books when he was on Earth while he was walking around the magic shops on the ship. Even though the area was small since it was inside a ship, the décor and shops themselves really looked like the one from the movie that for a moment, he suspected that the creator of this area was a transmigrator just like him but then again, he remembered that in some of the cities that they passed through, some of the bazaars looked like Diagon Alley as well or the shops from some other medieval fantasy shows or games.

More than likely, it was just a coincidence but it brought a smile to his face, and for an instant, he also wanted to set up a store here and sell the items that he enchanted. Anton liked the idea of being a magic shopkeeper and tried to do it back in Zalnothel but was glad that he didn’t go through with it.

First, if he owned a magic shop, there would be a tendency that he would fall in love with it and it would have been extremely difficult and sorrowful for him to leave it when the time came for their family to run. He felt that he did not go through with it because he always felt a sense of impermanence in Zalnothel. It was not magical or anything like that. Anton felt that it was his subconscious telling him that the undead issue was still a huge problem.

As a matter of fact, even though they had been getting far away from the Undead Coalition day by day, there was still this nagging doubt that the Undead Problem would stop for him and his family.

Most people, including his family, thought that the Gale Continent was too far away from Rendindura for the Undead Coalition to turn their eyes on that place but that was what they thought when they stayed in Zalnothel. A lot of people thought that Zalnothel would be safe since it had very powerful mages protecting it but then it too, fell.

Anton decided to forget about the undead for a while and capture the magic moment of pretending that he was a wizard in the Harry Potter world shopping for books before attending Hogwarts. He was too old for that school but it was nice to imagine that the most dangerous thing he could encounter was a stroll in the Forbidden Forest together with his classmates.

He knew that it was ridiculous to imagine himself being in the magical world of Harry Potter since Anton was already in a magical world. Not only that, he was gifted with a system that allowed him to become powerful enough to defend himself and his family and make their lives easier but there was something different about the world created by J.K. Rowling.

Anton’s life on Earth was shit and the Wizarding World had been an escape many times. While roaming around thinking about Harry Potter, he stumbled onto a shop that sells watches and clocks of different designs and sizes. He thought of Hermione’s Time-turner but knew that that sort of magic would not be available in a random shop inside a ship.

Since he was carrying items that he purchased in his arms inside a bag labeled by the owners of the shops, the clock shopkeeper didn’t bother him while he was browsing the different items inside. One annoying thing about the shopkeepers in the shops on the ship was they tended to frown on window shoppers and the only solution that he thought of aside from blasting them to pieces was to carry around some of the items that he bought.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

While looking around at the nice watches, he saw a clock that looked like Edward’s clock in Full Metal Alchemist. It was inside a glass cabinet so he asked the shopkeeper if he could take a look at it.

The clock was a solid silver piece according to the shopkeeper and the design was intricate. When he looked at the back, the cover was some sort of transparent material allowing him to see the gears inside and according to the shopkeeper, it wasn’t glass but the result of some sort of enchantment. Although it was pricey, Anton purchased it to the delight of the shopkeeper and he immediately wore it.

Anton actually didn’t need the watch since he could always see the time in his browser in his Diablo II system but he bought the watch not to check the time but as an accessory. He was enjoying the watch when he stepped outside the clock shop but then he suddenly felt dizzy.

His system suddenly made a red notice announcement. Anton immediately clicked it and it said that his Diablo II system added a combat log so he could check which type of attack damaged him. When he clicked the icon that his system said represented the combat log, it opened a chat panel and it stated that he received a mental spell attack attempting to control him that failed but was then converted to damage.

Anton was startled so he immediately activated all of his defensive buffs and activated all of his auras. The fact that his mana decreased meant that his aura healed the damage he was receiving and it was continuous. He made sure to activate the special effect of his buffs and auras to show off his power then he flew upwards to check the surrounding area trying to find the mages who were attacking him.

The people in the surrounding street were startled when they saw a glowing mage suddenly float up but Anton didn’t care.

He then noticed three wizards doing some sort of ritual reminiscent of the ritual the three supreme were doing when they cast the defensive spell that protected the ship from the undead attack of the ghost ships.

The three wizards stopped what they were doing since it wasn’t working. Anton kept receiving damage but his aura immediately healed him, although even if he had not activated his Prayer Aura, the amount of damage he was receiving was too minimal for him to be worried.

He flew toward the three mages who attempted to run but he held them in place using Telekinesis. Anton didn’t want to destroy them using his spells since he wanted to question them regarding their intention.

When Anton saw that the three mages who attempted to cast some sort of ritual magic on him weren’t moving anymore due to the hold he had on them using the Telekinesis spell, he was about to approach them when a lot of wizards approached him.

“Halt young sir! I’m Captain Armand of the wizard guard of the Elemental Bazaar in the Amelia. I would like to know why you cast a spell on those three mages!”

“My name is Anton Sunder. One of the archmages who defended the Amelia from the ghost shops who attacked before. The three mages cast some sort of ritual magic on me and I capture them to question them regarding what type of magic it was and what their intention was. I would like to request the presence of Supreme Numinor or Supreme Setoro so they can assist me in questioning these mages,” Anton said while he floated down near the captain of the wizard squad that was supposed to be the guards in this area.

Captain Armand was surprised when Anton completed his introduction but the mage guard captain worked fast. He commanded his men to stand aside and then called someone using some sort of magic item. He then asked Anton to bring the wizards that he captured to some sort of guard headquarters.
