97: Forbidden Spell: Volcanic Eruption

Furthermore, it would be best to wait until the war between the Merfolk Clan and the Naga Clan has settled.

Because if not, Arthur, as a human, would feel too insecure going to the deep sea of the Merfolk Clan!

Moreover, if the two clans were still at war, Arthur would most likely be attacked by the Naga if he went.

Thinking of the worst-case scenario, if Arthur encountered their Legendary Expert after fending off waves of Naga Clan attacks, he would probably have to flee in a panic.

There was no real danger, after all, he had a space teleportation scroll!

So, to be safe, Arthur decided that the best time to go to the Merfolk Clan would be after the war ended.

Of course, the premise was that the war didn't last too long. If it hadn't ended by the time his replication opportunity refreshed next month, Arthur would intervene.

After all, he had been eager to replicate a Legendary Expert for a long time!

...Time slowly passed, and soon it was the next month.

On the first day of September, after washing up and praying to various gods and Buddhas, Arthur excitedly clicked the random draw button.

The red lottery box shook, and what appeared was surprisingly another scroll-like pattern.

"Volcanic Eruption: A mixed Forbidden Curse Magic of fire and earth attributes, capable of erupting an immense amount of lava energy like a volcano at a designated location.

While dealing massive damage to enemies at the eruption point, the erupted lava fragments can also cause splash damage to surrounding enemies.

It is a magic that can both strike single targets and attack groups!

Price: Ten million gold coins"

It was another Forbidden Curse Magic!

Moreover, the strike speed of Volcanic Eruption was even faster than Meteor Shower, making it harder to dodge.

Arthur couldn't help but sigh in admiration after clearly reading the description.

Although the item was somewhat repetitive, Arthur thought it was still good.

Because a month had passed, and the war between the Merfolk Clan and the Naga Clan still hadn't stopped.

Despite both sides having suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties, and even a few Legendary Experts having fought two battles, no Victor had been decided.

In this situation, Arthur had originally thought that if he were to help the Merfolk Clan, his current goods might not be enough to deal with the Legendary Experts hidden in the deep sea.

Because Meteor Shower didn't have a very significant impact on the Legends in the deep sea!

Now with Volcanic Eruption, striking both the sky and the ground simultaneously could finally pose a sufficient threat to a Legendary Expert!

Of course, it would be best if there were spatial or ice-type restraint magic, but unfortunately, he hadn't drawn any!

However, being able to draw a Forbidden Curse Magic scroll, Arthur felt his luck was already very good, so he didn't demand more!

Since Arthur was eager to replicate the Merfolk Queen, a Legendary Expert, with the arrival of September, he had decided to help the Merfolk Clan.

But there were many ways to help, and Arthur didn't want to expose himself directly yet.

After much thought, Arthur decided to bring out his non-existent organization again, letting that organization extend a helping hand to the Merfolk Clan.

This way, Arthur could still remain in the shadows, manipulating everything!

After making his decision, Arthur first used a sound-transmitting conch to call Doria.

Because now, to safely travel from Kate Kingdom to the Merfolk Clan, it was best for Doria to provide the route!

And Doria, upon hearing that Arthur wanted the route they took back last time, immediately became excited, thinking that Arthur was coming over!

Arthur was very pleased that Doria was so happy about his visit. Since he was indeed going, he directly informed Doria of the news.

Arthur's explanation was that the war between the Merfolk Clan and the Naga could not continue like this.

He had previously joined an organization called the "Mutual Aid Society," where everyone could help each other through transactions.

Now, at his request, a member of the Mutual Aid Society had decided to go to the Merfolk Clan to conduct a transaction with Doria.

Arthur would go along with them.

Arthur also subtly hinted that among the items for transaction was a Sharp Weapon that could decide the outcome of this war!

Doria naturally trusted Arthur's words, so she quickly explained the route she took back last time.

The two were very familiar now, so Doria didn't offer any more words of thanks. She simply vowed silently in her heart that once Arthur arrived, she would definitely take him to have a good time in their Mermaid Kingdom.

Afterward, Doria informed her mother, the Merfolk Queen, who took it very seriously and even secretly sent people to meet them.

As for Arthur, after obtaining the route to the Merfolk Kingdom,

He began preparing for his trip to the Merfolk Clan.

First, he explained to Karona and the others that he was going out for a trip and told them not to worry.

He also instructed that Initial City would be managed by Karona afterward, with Chris, Poussin, and others assisting.

After arranging affairs for Initial City, it was time to decide who would go to the Merfolk Clan this time.

First was Arthur himself, then Victor, the Sky Knight who had been with him the longest.

And that was it. Arthur only planned to bring Victor.

Because there were Legendary Experts in the Merfolk Clan, Arthur couldn't have Victor and Wilson secretly protecting him this time.

Even bringing Victor would be for him to impersonate a member of the Mutual Aid Society, as Arthur had described, otherwise Victor wouldn't go.

After deciding on the personnel, it was time to prepare the Sharp Weapon for trade with the Merfolk Clan. Arthur only planned to trade Forbidden Curse Magic scrolls this time.

The price of Forbidden Curse Magic scrolls in the outside world was roughly fifty million gold coins, after all, these were items that Legendary Mages painstakingly created using rare Materials and countless efforts!

Fifty million gold coins wasn't expensive!

Forbidden Curse scrolls cost ten million gold coins in Arthur's Portable Shop. It seemed that in terms of Forbidden Curse scrolls, Arthur hadn't achieved a ten-fold profit.

But from another perspective, selling one Forbidden Curse scroll could earn forty million gold coins, which was equivalent to selling over a hundred sets of gold knight armor!

Then his profit was quite good!

However, Arthur wouldn't sell these items indiscriminately, as they were incredibly destructive weapons!

If not for wanting to quickly end the war between the Merfolk Clan and the Naga Clan, Arthur would not have sold this item to the Merfolk Clan at all.

Considering that the Naga Clan had two Legendary Experts and even a Legendary Dragon, Arthur was determined this time.

He planned to sell five Forbidden Curse scrolls to the Merfolk Clan: two Meteor Shower scrolls and three Volcanic Eruption scrolls.

If they used them together, Arthur believed that even the Water Attribute Giant Dragon would at least suffer severe injuries!

After all, the power of a Volcanic Eruption, even underwater, should not be underestimated!

Moreover, this was a Volcanic Eruption formed by magic, even more terrifying than those in nature!

Finally, Arthur handed the five purchased Forbidden Curse scrolls to Victor.

After all, according to Arthur's narrative, Victor, impersonating another member of the Mutual Aid Society, was the one who would conduct the transaction with the Merfolk Clan.
