184. The ancestor of metal

Captain Berkeley of the magic ship is dead.

His death was sudden, occurring just as the dreamscape reached a crucial step, his head exploded and he died.

Berkeley was a Wizard of the Nine Metallic Circles. His limbs, torso, and skull had all been replaced by magic metal, devoid of any blood or flesh, his bones were even composed of magical alloys.

As he exploded, there was no scattering of red and white objects, but instead a large amount of metal shards were splashed.

These shards were flying in all directions, and when they were about to approach the edge of the Dreamscape Magic Circle, they were controlled by an invisible magical power.

The metal shards, as though a pause button had been hit, abruptly froze and they didn't move at all.

A second later, the power that bound the metal shards disappeared.

The metal shards lost their momentum to fly, falling to the ground with a clatter.
