Chapter 33 – Double Chan

t

On the other side, camp center.

“Help! I don’t want to die yet!”

“Stop bawling, the Jackalweres aren’t here yet. Hurry up and run, stupid!”

“Wuuu… my underwear is still in the tent, can someone help me get it… wuuuu…”

The students awakened from their sleeps and escaped from the tent in a panic, only to find that the camp had turned into a sea of fire. From the nearby bushes, the Jackalweres invaded the camp from all directions, armed with swords and spears, wearing shoddy armor, howling savagely, like a bandit that broke into a widow village, and doing whoever they caught.

“Don’t try to be brave, retreat to center of the camp! Quickly!”

In extreme chaos, Teacher Woos’s aged voice sounded like an angel’s voice.

The students grabbed onto their last hope, and fled towards the big tent in the center of the camp. The students closest to the center had already escaped to the protective circle of Woos and other teachers, shrinking their heads like a chicken. The other students who were far away shouted in panic, and ran with all their strength, mere magicians actually ran faster than the muscle men of the warrior department.

Most of the students escaped safely, but there were still a few students left behind. Who knew where they went, the situation was unknown and they may be in danger at any time!

The moonlight was dusky, and the camp was a sea of fire. If you want to save the students who were scattered, you must split up and send people to find them. However, once the forces are divided, the defensive strength of the camp center will be insufficient.

Normally, the accompanying teachers from Loran Academy are all strong, and any one of them could easily get rid of these careless Jackalweres, but unfortunately, it was currently midnight, the outside of the camp was pitch black where you couldn’t even see your fingers. The inside of the camp was also in a state of chaos. They had to protect the students in the center of the camp, they also had to protect the horses and supplies. They couldn’t do everything and go all out, so they could only passively defend.

“Woos, what should we do? The students left behind can’t hold on for that long. Are we going to do a search and rescue?” Momm, who was carrying a huge ax, was anxious.

Everyone knew that they should do a search and rescue, but they couldn’t do it unless they could build a strong defense perimeter in the center of the camp to protect the students and the horses, then they could extract the manpower!

“Sigh, give me some time to prepare.” Teacher Woos slowly picked up his old wooden staff and rubbed his old waist. It seems that he made a decision. “Momm, please take care of the students.”

A transparent gem was embedded on the top of the staff, it was no longer able to glow brilliantly due to the decay of time. The body of the deep purple wooden staff was full of scars, as a testament to all the life and death battles that the owner has experienced.

“I’ll listen to you! I won’t let those wolf cubs rush over!” Momm promised.

He understood that Woos was preparing to release magic!

Raising up his exaggerated ax that was even taller than a person, Momm rushed out with a howl to fight for time like a whirlwind. There were a few blind Jackalweres who coincidentally bumped into him. They were split into two halves with a couple of chops from the ax, like tofu. The pitiful Jackalwere’s upper body and lower body were split into one part falling left and one to the right, the remnant nerves were still twitching on the ground.

The white-haired old man clenched the old staff and closed his eyes.

“Magic shield.”

Magic chant, complete.

In the next moment, a pure white circular array emerged above his head.

Circuit formation, complete.

“Magic shield, intermediate level magic, does Woos want to use a magic shield to protect the students?” Momm waved the ax in his hand while not forgetting to observe Woos. “How can a mere magic shield protect that many students and supplies? No matter how you put it, it’s only an intermediate level spell!”

As Momm said, when Woos exhibited the magic shield, the surrounding students began to whisper. They suspected that the teacher Woos was old and confused. He actually released such a small magic shield. It would have been better to take a larger shield and put it in front of you.

“Strange, why is he not casting?”

Momm noticed that Woos was still holding onto the spell and did not release it. The next second, he raised the staff in his hand and started murmuring something quietly, the transparent gem on the top of the staff seemed to shine along with his muttering.

“Don’t tell me…”

The students who were close by also noticed something peculiar. They slowly approached Teacher Woos and attempted to listen to what he was reciting.

“Light, the immaculate light of the sky, the hot light of the raging flames, the brilliant light of the void, the light of the soul of all living things…” After completing the initial magic chant and circuit formation, Woos began continuously whispering another chant!

That complicated spell was as if it carried 500kg in weight, with a strong magical power, every word struck the hearts of the students. They suddenly noticed that along with Teacher Woos mutters, the magic in the surrounding air seems to have been drained. At the same time, the pure white circle above teacher Wu Si became bigger and bigger. The size of the array that was originally only the size of a shield has now expanded to more than ten meters, completely engulfing the pitch-black sky above their heads!

Momm finally reacted.

“Double chant!” He exclaimed.

After completing the base chant of “Magic Shield”, Woos continued to sing complex and long ancient spells while maintaining the circuit, and performed a second chant, which multiplied the power of the spell. It was enough to make a tiny magic shield become a majestic fort!

This was “double chant”, it was a skill that only advanced magicians above sixth-level can master!

While Woos was double chanting, Momm had been blocking the Jackalweres who tried to breakthrough into the center of the camp. But there were too many opponents. Two Jackalweres snuck around to the other side, concealed in the night sky, escaping from Momm’s line of sight.

When they got close, the two Jackalweres suddenly jumped up and brandished their wooden sticks, aiming at the unarmed students!

“Get out of the way!” Momm noticed the danger, and quickly warned them, but the students still stood still in the same place, watching the thick sticks falling towards their heads, they couldn’t move at all.

How could these rookie magicians evade the Jackalweres surprise attack?

This time, Woos chant finished just on time!

The dull jewel embedded on his old staff let out dazzling rays of light!

“…converge magic into light, and light into a shield!”

In the night sky, the huge white disc suddenly shrank with Woos as the origin. Then, a translucent ball suddenly exploded, the carriage, the house, and the surrounding students were all enveloped by a huge light ball. Feeling the soft white light, everyone couldn’t help but feel a sense of peace of mind, it felt like as long as they stayed in this ball of light, they wouldn’t be scared even if the heavens collapsed.

However, it was miserable for the two Jackalweres that mounted a sneak attack. For the students, it was a soft light, but for them, the ball of light was like a hard wall!

Before the Jackalweres even landed, they ran into the white light ball that suddenly exploded. It was like they hit an iron wall, with a bang, they flew away under the huge impact. Like a kite that had its string broken, they flew away for more than ten meters, and a beautiful parabola was drawn. Finally, they fell heavily on the ground, and their internal organs were probably smashed.

A mere intermediate level magic can be released by any intermediate magician, through “double chant”, even a normal magic shield was amplified to have such terrible power! It was almost comparable to advanced magic!

Woos continued to inject magic into the magic shield, and finally established an indestructible defense line at the camp center. Now, they could finally allocate manpower for a search and rescue.

Using this kind of large scale magic to deal with Jackalweres was simply overkill! Teacher Woos must really be anxious!

“Teacher Momm, please quickly check the number of students. If there are still students left behind, we have to save them!”

“Ok, okay!”

The magic shield has been formed, and Momm no longer had to cut down the monsters. He ran back with his big ax, plunged into the magic shield, and checked the students one by one with his fingers.

“1, 2, 3, 4…”

The magic shield released by Woos was undoubtedly the biggest saving grace for the students. When Momm counted the number of people, several students who had fallen behind were chased by the Jackalweres and almost had their heads smashed with wooden sticks, but they were instantly relieved after they entered the large ball of light.

No matter how much the Jackalweres outside the ball of light attacked, the big ball of light did not budge at all, on the contrary, it only made their claws bleed.

“Woos, the students are basically all here.” Momm touched his big bald head, and he stopped talking.

Woos was old, although he could rely on strong magic to maintain the magic shield, but if he got too agitated, it was likely he would suffer internal injuries, and the magic shield would be broken. Momm was hesitant to say the truth.

“Basically all back? So you’re saying that there are students who were left behind?” Woos maintained the magic shield and asked without turning around, “Who, who hasn’t returned yet?”

“That…”

“Quickly, who is it!?”

“Only three students haven’t come back yet.” Momm didn’t dare lie, he could only reply honestly, “Caesar, Rosie, and Lin Xiao.”

Hearing the three names, Woos almost blacked out.

“Pfff…”

He spat out a mouthful of blood and almost fell.

The original strong light suddenly began to violently tremble, and fine cracks also appeared on the surface, it looked like it could collapse at any time. Seeing this, Momm hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Hearing the news, it was like his heart was stabbed and he almost fainted.

These three students were the most talented students that he had his eyes on. They were the hope of Loran Academy. The three of them must not meet danger in such a place! More importantly, one of them was a prince! If Caesar had an accident, how would he explain himself to the king?

“I… I’m fine… quickly! Go find them… here… leave this place to me!”

Woos’ lips trembled and he commanded with a strong tone.

“Momm…hurry! Go! Find them!”
