Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

David lurked beneath the ground, quietly waiting for the right moment.

The nobles present all possessed considerable strength, with Divine Eagle Knights standing vigil nearby.

Under such circumstances, planning to assassinate the Duke's second son was not an easy task; he had to wait for a chance.

Whoosh—

The Duke of the Western Border's second son's arrow shot forth with precision.

A few hundred meters away, a Fire Deer, an extraordinary magical beast, was instantly pierced by the arrow.

Watching this scene, the nobles cheered, constantly praising the Duke's second son's archery skills, which were indeed impressive.

But at that instant, David made his move.

His figure had already emerged from the ground, lurking amidst the dense forest.

When the Duke's second son approached, David initiated extraordinary speed, his silhouette disappearing in a flash.

When he reappeared, he was beside the Duke's second son, his dagger slicing toward the son's neck.

Possessing the Gale Divine Eagle bloodline, the Duke's second son surprisingly reacted instantly.

Yet even so, he found his movements couldn't match those of the assassin.

He merely turned his neck slightly, feeling the dagger tear through his neck, a surge of agony flooding his mind!

"Such speed."

This was the only thought in the Duke's second son's mind.

Despite the Gale Divine Eagle Clan being hailed as the fastest knights, they couldn't keep up with this speed!

His consciousness began to fade, slipping into eternal darkness.

Having succeeded in his strike, David quickly retreated, ready to depart.

The Gale Knights realized and attempted to pursue, but all they could witness was his receding figure!

With his extraordinary speed, David's pace far surpassed the Gale Divine Eagle bloodline, reaching the ultimate limit!

The nobles present gradually came to their senses.

Seeing the Duke's second son fall, they felt their minds thunder.

In front of so many people, the Duke's second son had been assassinated on the spot!

Someone possessed speed that far exceeded the Gale Divine Eagle bloodline!

...

Frost Wolf Ridge.

David returned after completing the assassination, looking relaxed.

Through training during this period, he had completely mastered extraordinary speed.

Though the speed of the Gale Divine Eagle was indeed formidable, it couldn't compare to extraordinary speed!

Next, if he could learn more about assassination techniques, he might truly have a shot at pursuing the title of the strongest assassin.

From a certain standpoint, an assassin could indeed leverage the small against the large.

If he found Tier Six Knights alone and suddenly struck, it wasn't entirely impossible to succeed!

Of course, he viewed assassination merely as a minor path.

To gain enough strength, he must continue to enhance his abilities.

Now, he had removed the Second Prince's agents from the list, and the next step was to wait for the opportunity to attack the Northern Fortress.

Of course, the most crucial thing was to continue strengthening his power.

Only by growing stronger can he achieve victory at a lower cost.

...

Within Frost Wolf Forest.

David held Amy while riding atop the Ghost Wolf Beast, delving deeper into the forest.

After relentless effort, Amy was ready to absorb the Ice Gemstone and break through to Tier Four.

"Lord, are we there yet?"

Amy, tightly held, looked at the trees speeding past, feeling a bit anxious.

"Hmm, almost there."

"I recall there's a cave here where you can retreat."

David surveyed the surroundings and said.

With Amy breaking through to Tier Four Mage, the ice elements between heaven and earth would surely gather.

In such a case, a safe spot in the wilderness was necessary, lest the entire Wizard Castle be sealed in ice.

"Alright." Amy breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, they arrived at the cave, which was notably tidy.

Amy glanced around the cave, then suddenly noticed the scratch marks on the wall.

Following her gaze, David was slightly taken aback; he remembered these marks were from when he and Cynthia trained, and Cynthia had made them.

"Ahem, I'll stand guard for you."

David awkwardly cleared his throat, diverting the topic.

Amy happily nodded and entered the cave, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

She adjusted for a moment, then began meditating, holding the Ice Gemstone to absorb the energy within.

Seeing this, David also started cultivating outside the cave.

Amy's cultivation lasted longer than David expected, not finishing until he reached nighttime, after absorbing all thirteen Ice Gemstones.

"It begins."

David's expression grew solemn.

He could feel the ice elemental energy in the surroundings continuously gathering inside the cave.

Under the terrifying power of the ice elements, the cave began to be sealed in ice, extending into the forest outside.

Seeing this, David retreated far to avoid disturbing Amy's breakthrough.

As time passed bit by bit, only when the intense ice elemental energy dissipated due to continuous absorption did he relax.

Then, he activated the Eye of Magic Power, sensing a strong wave of magic constantly emanating.

This was precisely Amy's Tier Four magic power; after relentless effort, Amy had finally stepped into Tier Four Wizard level!

Once Amy's magic stabilized within her, David re-entered the cave.

As soon as he stepped inside, Amy rushed forward, directly into his embrace.

Amy looked up, her face radiating joy, "Lord, I succeeded."
