Chapter 810: Idiot Beyond Redemption (1/2)

Especially at the peak of the mountain, where Arch-Battlemages below the 5th Rank wouldn't last a day before being torn apart by the lightning. A 4th Rank Arch-Battlemage could even die in ten minutes.

Even the rest of the mountain was terribly dangerous, as thick lightning bolts could strike anywhere. Many people would die every year extracting Lightning Ore.

'Half a year… This…'

Kempes' face was filled with despair as he looked at his teacher.

Daryl fiercely glared at Kempes. How could he disobey Prophet Deloy's command at such a time? If someone brought this matter to the King's attention, the penalty would be even heavier.

”Kempes, did you not hear the words of Prophet Deloy? Or are you thinking that the penalty is insufficient?”

Kempes scrunched his face bitterly and promptly lowered his head.

”I, Kempes, accept my punishment…”

Deloy nodded and continued to look at Daryl.

”Daryl, you return first and guard the camp. You aren't allowed to move as you wish without orders, and furthermore, you shall take the men Kempes had with him to mine in the Thunderbolt Mountain. They all have to dig for a year, and they won't be allowed to leave unless they've excavated five thousand kilograms of ore.” Deloy's voice was imposing, and no one could retort.

Although this Gaugass Prophet didn't usually manage anything and rarely gave orders, no one dared to go against his words, because they would have to endure the King's wrath if they didn't obey. If it came to that, it wouldn't be just a little punishment... They might even be exiled.

Daryl led everyone to depart, and only Deloy remained behind.

He took out a box and gave it to the clearly injured Xiuban.

”This is a kind of lightning herb from the Gaugass Highland. It is a Bee Cry Herb that has undergone rebirth from lightning, and it contains a huge amount of vitality. There are three of them in the box. You only need to crush one and apply it over your wounds, and you'll recover within three days without any lingering aftereffects.”

Xiuban took the box while smiling and held it in his embrace like a cherished treasure, making Enderfa sneer at him. Even Reina rolled her eyes.

Lin Yun remained silent. He hadn't expected Deloy to do this kind of thing.

”Sir, I'm really sorry about today's matters, please forgive us. I'll visit you another day to make proper apologies.”

How could Lin Yun get angry with Deloy's attitude and posture? He had seen him punish those people, and from Kempes' look, he could understand how dangerous and painful that punishment had been, let alone the sentences given to the other Gaugass Battlemages.

Deloy gently bowed with a graceful posture and the air of a wise person, totally unlike those barbaric Gaugass Battlemages.

After Deloy left, Xiuban held his box and turned to Lin Yun while daftly asking, ”Sir Merlin, what that old guy gave to me, you wouldn't plan on taking it, right?”

Lin Yun ruthlessly glared at Xiuban and couldn't help kicking him, but with Lin Yun's physical power, this was no different from tickling him.

Seeing Xiuban not even sway from the kick, Lin Yun summoned Syudos and had him whip Xiuban before starting to walk while the screams rang out behind him.

”Sir Merlin, take it if you want, Xiuban doesn't want it! It's all for you…”

Hearing these words, Enderfa chuckled in amusement. ”That fool hasn't changed…”

Lin Yun shouted, ”Syudos, whip him for three hours! Not one second less!”

The faithful Syudos naturally carried out Lin Yun's order. He bound Xiuban's feet with flames and hung him up behind Lin Yun before using a flaming whip to lash at his body.

Lin Yun let out a long sigh and left the Poison Mist Valley. After the baffling event following the fight with the Gaugass Battlemages, Lin Yun was no longer angered. But the foolish Xiuban… Did even his brain turn into muscle after training his muscles for so long?

Lin Yun went back first, leaving Reina and Enderfa, who were watching Xiuban being thrashed in the air, behind.

Enderfa was smirking as he watched Xiuban and laughed at him. ”That fool isn't completely stupid. There is not a single trace of Syudos' whips on his body, yet he is shouting so miserably. He definitely knows that if he dares to resist, he will definitely be beaten up miserably by Merlin himself…”

Syudos suddenly froze, and then his whipping speed almost doubled. It didn't take long before Xiuban's skin reddened.
