The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 107 Landing on the Island

With a wave of his hand, Weiss unleashed a rain of black arrows that fell like meteors, their destructive power enough to destroy anything that dared to stand in his way.

Faced with such an offensive, Ultear quickly activated "Arc of Time".

For mages who have mastered time magic, this skill is almost an impenetrable defensive measure as long as they have enough magic power.

Ultear happens to be such a mage with powerful magic.

"Arc of Time - Reversal!" As her incantation fell, time in this space was pushed back half a minute, and all the black arrows disappeared as if they had never existed.

This scene caused a deep wrinkle to appear on Wes's forehead—a "mountain" shape representing confusion and frustration.

[It seems the only options are to exhaust the opponent's magic power or prevent them from casting spells.]

Wes considered two possible ways to break through Urutia's defenses.

Ultear had only intended to test Wes's strength, but she never expected to encounter such a formidable opponent.

[Their magic is no less powerful than mine; is this going to be a tug-of-war?]

After several rounds of combat, she clearly realized that Wes's strength was no less than that of any S-class mage, and judging from his performance, he did not come from a regular guild.

This piqued Urudia's interest in recruiting this powerful warrior.

"Hey, what's your name?"

Upon hearing this, Wes looked displeased: "Introducing yourself before asking someone's name is basic etiquette."

"I'm sorry," Ultear bowed slightly, but there was no trace of apology in her voice. "My name is Saludi, and I apologize for my rudeness just now."

At this point, they were still using a pseudonym. Seeing that the other party was not sincere, Wes prepared to continue his attack.

Is this guy a battle maniac? Can't he see I'm already inclined to make peace?

Urudia felt somewhat helpless. She gritted her teeth and tried to communicate again: "Stop, I really don't mean you any harm."

Wes, of course, didn't believe her nonsense.

Although Ultear was also getting angry, she knew that if she continued to argue, she would not be able to maintain the transformation magic.

Once their true identity is exposed, it will affect the entire plan.

"Well then, goodbye, Mr. Unknown Mage."

After saying that, she took out a card and waved it lightly. The card instantly turned into starlight and disappeared into the air.

At the same time, Ultear's body vanished along with the starlight. But she secretly vowed to settle the score with Wes once she had the chance.

"A pre-prepared spatial magic, huh? But don't even think about escaping my grasp."

When Wes saw Ultear disguised as a middle-aged man, he knew that at this stage she was still lurking around Leon, preparing to resurrect that terrible demon—Deliora.

Deliora is one of the demons created by the "Dark Magician" Zeref, and is recorded in the Book of Zeref.

As an undead calamity demon, it possesses extremely powerful strength, capable of easily destroying a city in a short period of time.

Many years ago, when it ravaged the city of Blago on the northern continent, it was sealed away by Uru, Uru's mother, with "Absolute Freeze," which brought an end to the disaster.

"In other words, as long as we find Galna Island, we can find her." Wes already had a clear goal in mind.

He retrieved the scarab beetle and then left.

An hour later, the council's team arrived at the scene.

The lead investigator looked around and remarked, "It's unbelievable that such a powerful force could be unleashed in this forest." He then began directing his team to conduct their investigation.

Even though the battle had ended more than an hour ago, experienced investigators were still able to deduce the strength of the two sides at the time by observing the residual magical fluctuations on the battlefield and changes in the surrounding environment.

"Judging from the residual magic at the scene, the two who just fought were both close to S-rank strength," an investigator said after carefully examining a crystal ball used for detection.

Just then, a frog that walks upright—a messenger specially made by the council—hurriedly arrived carrying two portraits.

"Sir, these are portraits of those two people."

It turns out that many residents in the town of Harugion witnessed the conflict between Wes and Urudia, especially their confrontation in the restaurant, which allowed the artist to create an extremely realistic portrait based on the eyewitness accounts.

The investigator took the portrait and said, "We cannot rule out the possibility that they used transformation magic."

The investigator stroked his chin thoughtfully. "In any case, send the portrait and details of the incident back to headquarters. After all, this involves an S-class mage."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

After thoroughly clearing the battlefield, the investigators led the council's small team out of the forest to continue their mission.

Meanwhile, Wes was preparing to head to Karna Island. He inquired about Karna Island at the town's dock, only to find that people always reacted strangely whenever he mentioned the island's name.

Some people immediately changed the subject, while others quickly left, as if they had mentioned something taboo.

"Young man, I advise you not to go."

An old, weathered-looking captain stopped what he was doing and stared at Wes with his cloudy eyes.

"Legend has it that demons live on Karna Island, and even the moon is purple. Even the most audacious pirates dare not approach that sea area."

Finding a crew member willing to take him to Galna Island was nearly an impossible task for Wes, as the old captain had said, even if he were willing to pay a high price, no one would be willing to take the risk.

So he changed his strategy and instead of looking for ships, he spent some money to buy a precise sailing route to Galna Island.

With the map in hand, Wes started his flying car and headed off alone.

As the flying car drew closer to its destination, the unique crescent-shaped outline of Galna Island came into clear view.

Although rumors about "demons" on the island were rampant, to Wes, they were all just appearances.

Inside an ancient pyramid-like building in the center of the island.

Even from a distance, one could hear low chanting coming from inside; it was the sound of mages performing some kind of ritual.

A group of mages dressed in purple robes formed a circle, maintaining a complex magic circle.

The moonlight was cleverly captured and gathered by a magic circle, forming shimmering droplets that fell one by one onto a huge iceberg below. The whole process was filled with incredible beauty and mystery.
