Something like that happened and they barely managed to see some hope. Even the most ordinary clansman was willing to grab that last straw. Whoever dared to make a move against the outsider now wouldn't just be expelled, the best outcome would be being burnt to ashes...
They couldn't make a move against that person for the time being, they absolutely couldn't.
The 3rd Elder clenched his fists, his heart aching from hatred, wishing he could lash at that outsider's body, torturing him to death. But he didn't dare to do anything at the moment.
However, Jers had already become muddle-headed from anger and simply didn't listen. Up till now, he still believed that his first defeat had been due to his carelessness, that he had been sneak attacked.
”Father, that damned outsider is definitely a spy, that sl*t Elsa definitely fed him all those pieces of information. Our clan hasn't been able to find the Life Pattern Crystal's Incarnation for so many years, how could an outsider like him find it? The God Nation is too vast, and the environment is very complicated. No one in our clan has been able to find it for the past hundred years…
”He is just an outsider, how could he find it so quickly? He is definitely stalling for time! If he can't find it in two decades, he will just say that it was normal, since even we couldn't find it for a century. Once our clan suffers from a great disaster, he'll be able to smoothly escape, and Jeremy won't be able to get his revenge!
”Father, don't you see how that damned outsider treats you? And Uncle went into the Lightless Dreamland. What would he think of you when he learns about it when he wakes up?
”An outsider who is only a 9th Rank High Mage, a piece of trash that only knows how to shamelessly sneak attack. After injuring Jeremy, he actually swaggered his way into the Dark Elven Clan. And you, you ignored Jeremy's biggest foe and didn't even avenge him!” Jers was going out of control, harshly criticizing his own father.
The 3rd Elder shouted with a deep voice, ”Enough! What do you know? That outsider isn't that simple. Not only we can't move against him, but he is also quite remarkable.”
Jers froze, before saying with disdain, ”He is remarkable? He is only a 9th Rank High Mage, I saw it with my own eyes! He was studying a 1st Tier Spell and looked puzzled. If I hadn't been careless, how could he have managed to get the better of me…”
Jers was a bit dismissive of his father's caution. 'If you weren't so excessively cautious, you wouldn't have stopped at the 3rd Elder seat…'
But Jers only dared to think those words, he didn't dare to say them.
The 3rd Elder had a heavy expression as he explained in a low voice, ”You are underestimating that outsider. Although he is only a 9th Rank High Mage, I saw him casting last time, and his casting speed is several times faster than a 9th Rank High Mage. In human terms, his spells were close to being Insta-cast. The speed can be compared to our clan's 1st or 2nd Rank Archmages.
”And those people at his side aren't so simple, either. I investigated in secret. That woman is a level 38 Frost Dragon. You should have heard from our clan's stories how powerful Dragons are. You absolutely aren't that Frost Dragon's match.
”And the Beastman, alchemy puppet, and the outsider's True Spirit Magic Tool are very powerful. That man is definitely an important member of a major force's younger generation, he is definitely not some nobody. If we rashly make a move, it's highly possible that we won't be able to kill them and will even expose ourselves to more danger. At that time, it would be equivalent to betraying the clan…”
Jers was in disbelief. ”What? Dragon? That damned outsider actually has a Dragon at his side? Could it be that even Father cannot kill them? No, wait, we only need to kill that damned outsider!”
'Right, just kill that damned outsider, Mafa Merlin, was it? Although his entourage isn't weak, he himself is. As long as he dies, his entourage will naturally leave on their own. There is no need to worry about these cheap followers, killing Merlin is more than enough, and this is easy enough…'
A smile appeared on Jers' face.
”Father, that damned outsider is too weak, and his followers can't always be protecting him. As long as Father uses a High Tier Spell, you will be able to kill that guy. As for his followers, it doesn't matter if they survive, as long as that Mafa Merlin dies. His stalling tricks are rubbish, the clan wouldn't look into it.”
The 3rd Elder shook his head ”That's no good. That Mafa Merlin would definitely die if I acted myself. Although he is stronger than a High Mage of the same level, he would at most be comparable to a Dark Elf that had just advanced to the Archmage realm. But they are out of the clan now and I can't leave. The powerhouses of the clan know that we are at odds with them. I don't have any opportunity to leave. The 4th Elder is spending all her time watching me.”
Jers blurted out, ”Can't we have other people do it instead?”
The 3rd Elder shook his head. ”It won't work, the helpers at the side of the outsider aren't weak. There aren't many people within our clan that could kill them, so the chances of ambushing him aren't too high…”
Jers' eyes were frantically darting around as he was apparently thinking of something. 'This damned outsider is so weak, how could he have followers that are so powerful? Even a Dragon! But… So what if you have a Dragon protecting you? You are weak, you are a burden when facing a powerful enemy, the Dragon can't always protect you.
