Chapter 253: The Wizard from Another Plane Seeking His Pet
High above, fierce winds howled as Hailin sped northward like a streak of light. The distance of over 100 kilometers vanished in the blink of an eye.
As he neared his destination, the scene of battle unfolded before him. On one side, there were secret constructs and touch-based puppets from the Witch Hunter Corps, along with a few Star Alliance wizards. On the other, thirteen robed wizards faced them.
Seeing this, Hailin's lips curled into a cold smile.
Since the Obsidian Throne's vanguard was annihilated on the Starlight Continent sixteen years ago, they had sent several waves of invaders in an attempt to breach its defenses. The most formidable assault involved three Tier-2 wizards leading twenty-five Tier-1 wizards and a force of 20,000 Black-Winged Bone Claws, all supported by a small wizard tower.
Yet even that force was ultimately crushed by the Star Alliance.
Hailin had taken part in that battle.
It was his first experience engaging wizards in combat. He had expected powerful adversaries from a major wizard faction but found them far less intimidating than he had anticipated.
In particular, their magical equipment paled in comparison to what the Star Alliance could field. Most Star Alliance wizards had one or two enchanted tools and carried deadly inscribed gemstones, while the Obsidian Throne's wizards were sparsely equipped, with only a handful even possessing enchanted tools.
Still, what had truly inspired awe and reverence was Lord Su Nan.
During that battle, Su Nan had singlehandedly faced the three Tier-2 wizards from the Obsidian Throne, defeating them with overwhelming ease. His display of crushing power had left an indelible impression on all who witnessed it.
As these thoughts ran through Hailin's mind, he moved without hesitation. Upon reaching the battlefield, he leaped into action, using his innate abilities to attack a Tier-1 gaseous wizard.
