Chapter 1309: It Felt So Good To Depend On A Woman
The shattered stone statue would need at least three days to reform itself before they could restart the deal again.
“I have to go back for the Abyss Banquet today.” Alfred paced around the shattered stone statue anxiously. He summoned a ferocious three-headed demon hound to guard the island before he left on a giant magic beast.
This three-headed demon hound was an 8th-tier magic beast who only recognized him as its master. Anything that entered the island would be ripped shreds by it.
Mag looked at Alfred, who had already left, on the screen with a smile, and said, “Alright, it’s time for us to act.”
Even he could easily dispatch an 8th-tier three-headed demon hound. They had to eradicate that black fog and destroy that weird stone statue before Alfred returned to the island again.
“Given Alfred’s craftiness, he would definitely backtrack here. If we don’t want to engage him right now, we should wait a little longer.” Irina remained seated in her chair, and wasn’t in a hurry to get up.
Mag returned to his seat upon hearing that.
As expected, 30 minutes later, Alfred returned to the island on the magic beast again. After making sure there was indeed n.o.body on the island, he scattered two bagfuls of Abyss Noxious Insects and left again.
“Demons are indeed cunning.” Mag felt a headache as he watched those poisonous insects burrow themselves quickly into the rocks’ cracks. The Abyss Noxious Insects were extremely venomous, and a bite from them could be fatal.
“He shouldn’t be returning again this time.” Irina stood up and took out her magic caster’s staff.
“Then we will start eradicating the black fog now.” Mag nodded and maneuvered the mobile restaurant toward the black fog. He stopped about 10 meters away from it.
The black fog seemed to have settled down after the fishes in the fog were killed in the blast and the stone statue was damaged. It stopped expanding outward.
However, the dark black fog was still emitting a sense of fear in this deep ocean.
“What do you need me to do?” Irina asked. The frustration in her heart got more and more intense as she got closer and closer to the black fog. That murky death aura was a completely different existence from the life aura.
Mag said to Irina, “If my guess is correct, your Holy Light magic should have a purifying effect on this black fog. I need you to eradicate this black fog with the Holy Light before we can land on the island. The stone statue is the one that has real research value.”
Irina might be the only one who could eradicate this black fog in this world. Mag was feeling rather fortunate about that.
Of course, was he someone who depended on women?
“Alright.” Irina nodded.
“What about me?” Amy bounced over to them excitedly, and asked Mag, “Father, is there something I can do?”
“We have to depend on Little Amy to get rid of those poisonous insects on the island. If we got bitten, our bodies would rot and we would die,” Mag said to Amy gravely. “Could Little Amy complete this treacherous task?”
“I promise I will complete the mission.” Amy nodded severely with excitement in her eyes. She didn’t expect Father would give her such an important task.
The mobile restaurant popped out of the water and hovered about three meters above the sea’s surface. The aircraft’s door opened gradually.
“Holy Light, heed my call. Clean this filthy world and destroy all evil!” Irina raised her magic caster’s staff above her head and began to chant. Glaring silver light began to converge at the tip of her staff, and then it was released.
A beam of Holy Light that was many times brighter than sunlight shone out of the magic caster’s staff, and pierced through that thick black fog instantaneously. The black fog melted away like ice and snow coming in contact with fire, and a clear path was revealed.
“It’s indeed effective!” Elation flashed across Mag’s face. His judgement was correct. The Holy Light indeed had a very strong countering effect on the black fog.
“That light is formidable! Can I learn?” Amy gazed at Irina with her face full of admiration. If she learned how to do that, she wouldn’t have to hold a fireball up whenever she went out at night. That would be so much more convenient.
“Purify, evil energy!”
Irina swung the staff, and the Holy Light swept horizontally across. As if she was wiping a blackboard that was full of words clean, the black fog that shrouded the island and hundreds of kilometers of the sea was wiped clean by the Holy Light instantly. The surrounding waters became clear again immediately, and there were all kinds of mutated fishes floating on the surface. They all had sharp teeth and looked absolutely terrifying.
Mag couldn’t help but gulp when he saw this scene.
“Congratulations, Host. The mission of eradicating the black fog is completed. You’ve been awarded with the full set of recipes for cooking crayfis.h.!.+” Just then, the system’s voice appeared in Mag’s mind.
It felt so good to depend on a woman.
“Perfect.” Mag looked at Irina with praise. Her greatest strength wasn’t combat, actually. Both the light-type magic and life magic were not suited for combat. It was just that her past results were simply extraordinary, so people forgot about that slowly.
This was a woman favored by the G.o.ddess of Light and the G.o.ddess of Life at the same time. She should have been revered by people, but instead she turned herself into a powerful combat magic caster.
“It was easier than I’d imagined.” Irina retrieved her magic caster’s staff. She, too, was surprised that it was so easy to eradicate this black fog.
“Let us go onto the island.” Mag flew the mobile restaurant toward the island. There was still some dust from the explosion floating above the island after the black fog was eradicated, but it no longer obscured their view.
The traces left behind by the missile’s explosion were also clearly seen.
The entire island was razed to the ground, and not a single complete rock could be seen. In the center of the island, there was a huge crater that was over 50 meters across and over five meters deep.
That three-headed demon hound was guarding right next to the huge crater. Three pairs of bloodshot eyes were staring at the flying restaurant that was flying right over the crater, and it barked crazily.
This three-headed demon hound was 10-odd meters long and seven, eight meters tall. It had three big dog heads with razor-sharp fangs, bloodshot eyes, and a snake for its tail. It looked similar to Cerberus from the Greek mythology, so he wondered if the two of them were connected.
“Leave this puppy to me. Little Amy, we will be depending on you for the poisonous insects. Don’t let your mother get tired.” Mag patted Amy’s head smilingly, and then leaped down 100 meters from the air with his sword in his hands, straight toward that three-headed demon hound.
He still hadn’t fought with a decent opponent after progressing to the 8th-tier. This guard dog seemed like a good choice.
That three-headed demon hound descended into a frenzy as it watched Mag leap down from the sky. One dog head spewed out hot flames, while the other dog head spewed out ice flames, both aiming at Mag.
“What a surprising tactic. But, that makes things even more interesting.” Mag revealed a smile. His falling body did a backflip suddenly right before he came in contact with hot flame and ice flames, and evaded both attacks. At the same time, he cut off that tail which had transformed into a poisonous snake and was striking at him.
“Poisonous insects, I am going to destroy you!”
Amy also took out her magic wand, and began chanting. When she pointed downward, raging flames started to fall from the sky. Apart from the 100-meter-wide s.p.a.ce with Mag as the focal point, the fire covered the entire island.
The colorful noxious insects were reduced to ashes in the midst of cackling sounds.
