Chapter 348 Tale From The Past [Part 3]
“Fools. Did they really think that they could get away from us that easily?” one of the three Sorcerers, who decided to track down Princess Ramona, said in contempt.
“Don’t underestimate them, Third,” the Sorcerer who went by the name, Fifth, replied. “They managed to hold out long enough in the battle earlier until the King arrived. They are quite capable, especially that girl with the red ribbons. How about you, Seventh? What do you think about them?”
“I’m more worried about the boy,” Seventh replied. “He’s just making me uneasy.”
“Then we should eliminate him first,” Fifth stated. “The two of us will work together, while Third deals with the girl. After we kill the meddlers, we’ll decide how to deal with the Princess. Are both of you fine with this arrangement?”
“Sounds good.”
“I don’t have any objections.”
After agreeing to a plan, they urged their Hippogriffs to fly faster so that they could catch up with their targets.
The names of the Sorcerers of the Magdar Kingdom were numbered Two onwards. This was their Rank, and the strongest of them held the number one position. However, instead of a number, they simply called him “King”.
Yes, the King of the Magdar Kingdom, King Baldur, was the strongest of them all.
The Council of Sorcerers might be obeying the King of the Kingdom, but that didn’t mean that they were his subordinates.
They were granted special privileges in order to help protect their territories from outside threats, making them under one ruler but above the law.
This was the reason why King Baldur was unable to punish them despite the fact that five of them had attempted to kill his daughter, Ramona.
The King understood that if he were to do that, not only would he lose five powerful Sorcerers, but civil strife might also spread across his Domain.
In order to avoid the worst-case scenario, he decided to let Princess Ramona leave the Magdar Kingdom, only allowing her to come back once she gained the power to protect herself from those who wished her harm.
However, the three Sorcerers, who were currently tracking down the Princess, didn’t want her to grow stronger and become a threat to the other Princes who were fighting for the throne. This content has its origins in n0v£lbin★
After half an hour of flying, the Sorcerers started to frown.
White smoke emerged from the waters as a sizzling sound reverberated in the air.
Not knowing if they managed to hit their targets or not, they commanded their Hippogriffs to fly several meters above the water so that they could take a better look at their surroundings.

Meanwhile, under the sea...
Ethan was now holding his Sea God’s Trident, while Lily had shifted into her Mermaid Form.
He then summoned a water bubble to enclose Princess Ramona, allowing her to breathe without problems.
‘Take her as deep as you can,’ Ethan said through telepathy. ‘I’ll handle the rest.’
Lily nodded and descended into the depths, just in time to evade several Fire Spears, Wind Blades, and Ice Spears that broke through the surface of the waters, darting in their direction.
Ethan smirked as he raised his trident, fully prepared to fight their enemies who had no idea who they were dealing with.
This was precisely why the young man had asked Lily to head to the sea, allowing him to deal with the pesky pursuers using his home-court advantage.
At that exact moment, something gigantic swam under him, making the smirk on Ethan’s face turn into a sneer.

“Did we get them?” Third asked as he used Wind Magic to blow away the steam that was covering their surroundings.
The moment that the white smoke cleared away, they saw several giant tentacles rise up from the sea, making them cry out in surprise.
“Bring them down, Kraken!” Ethan ordered, making one of the most fearsome creatures in the sea obey his command.
“Retreat!” Seventh shouted as he tried to use his Wind Magic to help his flying mount gain altitude.
Unfortunately for them, it was already too late.
The giant tentacles swatted the Hippogriffs out of the sky, making these Creatures shriek in pain as they fell towards the sea, where they would find themselves being dragged down to the murky depths, where they would meet their doom.
