638 Wolf God (1/2)

In the center of the Captain's Cabin, a teleportation array made of light appeared out of nowhere, making everyone appear suddenly in a pillar of light.

Everything was exactly the same as when they left the Captain's Cabin. That teleportation door was also emitting a faint light.

After confirming that it was safe, the tense Zeuss was finally relieved and sat on the ground with an exhausted and regretful expression.

”High Mage Merlin, may I ask if you had seen Sir Arthus before?”

After being sure there were no threats, Zeuss' emotions caught up to him as he recalled the wandering Arthus.

Lin Yun regretfully said, ”Sir Arthus already passed away…”

Zeuss still had hope in his eyes, ”Can you tell me where his body is?”

Lin Yun shook his head, ”Just like Rhett, he turned to ashes…”

Zeuss had a painful expression on his face as he sobbed. The repeated blows had put Zeuss on the verge of collapse.

”It's all because of me… If I hadn't been muddled by anger, Arthus wouldn't have died from the monster's plot and Rhett wouldn't have been possessed.”

”They were still young… Why wasn't I the one to die…”

Zeuss looked like an ordinary old man as he kept sobbing, already collapsed.

After losing all his mana, he had become crippled, but he hadn't died. And adding Rhett and Arthus' deaths, he felt that dying might have been a better option.

Lin Yun looked at the broken Zeuss and didn't know what to say. This guy used to be disagreeable and arrogant, proud of having the power of an 8th Rank Archmage, but now, the achievements he took pride in were turned to nothing, and even others had been involved. This wasn't something Zeuss could bear.

The Family's honor, as well as his own, had turned into an illusion, dying would be a lot more comfortable.

After a while, Zeuss raised his head, his eyes looking empty.

Lin Yun knew that this was because Zeuss had already lost the will to live, he had already made his decision.

Sure enough, Zeuss painfully looked at Lin Yun and said with a voice full of despair, ”High Mage Merlin, thanks a lot for saving me. But Arthus already died, Rhett already died… I'm also a cripple without a wisp of mana. You don't need to take care of me, this ghost ship shall be where my life ends.”

”It's not as bad as you think…”

”Eh?” Zeuss suddenly froze, surprise flashing on his ashen face, ”What… What do you mean?”

”What I mean, Sir Zeuss, is that although your mana had been absorbed by that monster and not even a seed of mana remains in your body, turning you into an ordinary person, in my experience, this situation isn't hopeless…”

”Merlin… High Mage Merlin, you… You are saying that I… I… I could still be saved?” Hearing this, Zeuss looked as if he had gained a new lease on life. His gaze relaxed and he was suddenly full of expectations. He gently grabbed Lin Yun, as if he was his life saver, ”Can you really… Really save me?”

”It should be doable…” Lin Yun thought about it, but didn't give a definite answer.

But this was enough for Zeuss.

This was more than enough.

He had been studying magic meticulously all his life and had been accustomed to wielding the power of magic. Moreover, he had already reached the Archmage realm. Losing magic was simply losing everything. Lin Yun's words were like going from hell to heaven!

”Then you…”

”I can try.”

”Thank you, thank you, High Mage Merlin. I, Zeuss Watson, will never forget your kindness. I can even guarantee that whether you succeed or not, the Watson Family will become the Merlin Family's staunchest ally in the future…”

Zeuss was holding onto his last straw desperately, his eyes shining as he grabbed Lin Yun's arm with excitement, even promising huge benefits when he saw Lin Yun remaining tight-lipped, directly saying that as long as he didn't betray the Watson Family, he would give Lin Yun anything he wanted, he would even send him his grand-daughter...

”Haha…” Lin Yun didn't take it to heart. To be honest, Lin Yun didn't have a huge hatred against Zeuss, he merely felt that the latter was unpleasant at best. A living 8th Rank Archmage was definitely more useful than a dead Zeuss...

Lin Yun took out the Book of Death and chanted a character. Soon, a spatial crack appeared in front of them as a stable Planar Path formed there.

Zeuss was in a hurry to recover, and the others didn't discover anything wrong. Only Enderfa felt something fishy.

Earlier, Lin Yun had to go all-out to open a small crack to his Demiplane, and he was only able to maintain it for a bit over a second.

But now, there didn't seem to be any problem, he was effortlessly opening path to his Demiplane in a relaxed way. And it had already been a few seconds, yet he didn't seem to be struggling.
