The expanding airwaves mixed with rolling flames were rushing towards Lucien. The gray flagstones in the corridor were blown into pieces like pieces of paper. The explosion was so loud that no one could hear anything.
However, when the airwaves reached Lucien, they ran into an invisible wall and were blocked by it. Streaks of fiery white gas stopped abruptly around Lucien.
The seventh-circle spell, Magic Prison!
Raventi, who was with Lucien, was a ninth-circle archmage. He was close to the Astrologer, a member of the Highest Council and one of the leaders of the High Tower. Even though Raventi was not good at Astrology, he still had some warning spells on his magic items. Therefore, when the golden-haired sorcerer lowered his head respectfully, Raventi had a bad feeling. Thus, he directly activated the Magic Prison and imprisoned the golden-haired sorcerer in it when the scorching light just appeared.
The explosion was extraordinarily powerful, but it did not have the unique characteristics of Disintegrate. After tumbling for a while, it slowly calmed down, unable to do anything to the invisible magic prison. The rumbling sound that was gradually fading away seemed to be filled with deep regret and despair. Even the attack with the belief of death and the sacrifice of everything did not have any effect at all? Was the sorcerer taken care of so easily? Was it really impossible for a middle-rank sorcerer to assassinate a senior-rank sorcerer and an archmage?
At this time, the airwaves that had not disappeared yet suddenly slowed down. The whole area lost all colors, leaving only the silence of pure black, white, and gray.
If one observed carefully, they would find that the airwaves were still moving slightly, but much slower than before.
The ninth-circle spell, Time Stop!
Donald's hoarse and deep voice came, "You guys get out of there first."
Different from Raventi, Donald was good at the school of Astrology. He had been exploring space and star tombs all year round, and his Host Star of Destiny was extremely sensitive. If it weren't for the fact that 'Time Stop' was difficult and weird, and that he couldn't figure out the mechanism behind it, he wouldn't have needed Raventi to cast 'Magic Prison' at all.
Lucien was a little confused. He did not quite understand what Donald meant. The explosion had been blocked by the Magic Prison. Why would he go to the trouble of stopping time? But seeing Raventi retreating, Lucien hurriedly did the same. At this time, Bellak recovered and hurriedly blocked in front of Lucien.
Just as he took two steps back, Morris suddenly uttered a strange incantation. It seemed to resound in everyone's heart, making them feel dizzy.
When Morris was ready, Donald stopped the Time Stop that would end in two seconds. The airwaves rolled again, but a translucent figure was pulled out from the airwaves and flames by an invisible force.
The ninth-circle necromancy spell, Soul Binding!
Unlike other low-level magic circles with similar names, it could bind and imprison souls that had not completely dissipated into gems. Unless one was an expert in necromancy magic, he or she would have to use incantations.
The blond sorcerer's soul could be vaguely seen wailing as it was pulled into a flame-like ruby, causing it to be dyed with a layer of dark green light.
In front of an archmage, even death was not that easy, let alone assassination!
"I'll find out what happened." Morris walked to Lucien with the soul gem in his hand, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Although Lucien was always proud of his calmness, in front of the three archmages, he was still a little slow.
At the same time, Gaston, Florencia, and other senior leaders of the Will of Elements also walked to them. They cared about Lucien, and they also wanted to know what happened. How could a senior leader of the Will of Elements be assassinated in the headquarter of the Will of Elements?
They had to find out!
"Stay back!" Bellak suddenly raised his hands and made a gesture of stopping them.
What? Morris, Donald, and Raventi, including Lucien, all looked at him confusedly.
Bellak's face was very serious, and he spoke very fast, "Your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, the target of this blond sorcerer is very clear. It's Mr. Evans! It seems that his cognitive world is broken and solidified because of the discovery of the new particle, and he can no longer improve his magic level. Therefore, in desperation, he decided to kill Mr. Evans together with him. "
"The Discipline Department has dealt with many similar cases in the past hundreds of years. There's nothing shocking about it. However, the question is, how did he manage to grasp the time so precisely and leave the demiplane warehouse only a few minutes after the meeting ended?"
The corridor that the blond sorcerer came from was only the demiplane warehouse, and there were no other rooms for him to hide in. Also, this floor was heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to linger. If he left the demiplane warehouse in advance and hid in the corner, he would have been discovered by the patrolling golems and the magic circles.
"In conclusion, I believe that at least one senior leader of the Will of Elements is working with him! In order to ensure Mr. Evans's safety, please stay away from him, in case the real culprit finds a chance to kill him! No one can guarantee that the real culprit will cherish his own life and not do something that will destroy Mr. Evans together! "
Hearing Bellak's words, the senior leaders of the Will of Elements all looked at each other in surprise. Bellak's words made a lot of sense, but who could it be?
Subconsciously, they were divided into three groups, keeping their guard up against each other. Only Raventi roared angrily, "This is a disgrace to the Will of Elements!"
"Your Excellency Raventi, Your Excellency Donald, Your Excellency Morris, please start the investigation as soon as possible. Mr. Evans shouldn't stay here any longer. I'll escort him back to Allyn, "Bellak suggested. Bellak suggested. It seemed that he trusted the three archmages, especially the bad-tempered but impulsive Raventi.
Except for Lucien, all the senior leaders of the Will of Elements were at least senior-rank sorcerers. If there was a traitor among them, they needed an archmage to protect them. Therefore, Donald nodded to Morris, "We'll deal with it. Raventi and this sorcerer from the Punishment Department, please escort Evans back to Allyn."
As soon as Donald finished his words, the whole magic tower started to shake violently, and a series of explosions came from afar.
"No! The core of the magic tower! " Morris's expression changed slightly. He reached his hands into the space in front of him, and a mysterious gate covered with countless runes appeared out of nowhere.
Morris pulled open the heavy black door that looked like it had been rusted. He stepped in and disappeared on the spot.
The ninth-circle spell, Precise Teleportation!
This was a teleportation spell within a range of one thousand meters, and it was even more effective in the magic tower itself!
"The assassination of Evans was to distract us?" Donald murmured to himself. He wanted to tell the senior leaders of the Will of Elements to stay alert, but he was also worried that the traitor might take the opportunity to escape. So he said to Raventi, "You go to the control center and turn on the level two defense of the magic tower, in case other places are damaged. I'll investigate the assassination."
Except for the two legendary sorcerers, only the president and the vice president had the right to turn on the three highest levels of defense of the Royal Magic Tower of Holm.
After saying that to Raventi, Donald looked at Bellak seriously, "Escort Evans back to Allyn."
Allyn was the city in the sky that had been carefully built by the Congress of Magic for hundreds of years. Even middle-rank sorcerers could use the magic circles that covered the whole city to teleport. Any battle that happened in Allyn would be discovered immediately. Allyn was much safer than the Royal Magic Tower of Holm, where the traitor had not been found yet.
Also, Lucien's teacher, the Lord of Storm, was on duty in Allyn, unlike the two giants of the Will of Elements, who were both busy. Hathaway had been away recently, and Davey was obsessed with creating a brand-new transformation golem.
"As you wish, Mr. Donald." Bellak bowed solemnly and then said to Lucien, "Mr. Evans, let's go."
Lucien took a glance at the senior leaders of the Will of Elements, who were in three different groups, and slightly shook his head. Then he followed Bellak to the room where the Demiplane transmission circle was set up.
After opening the door, Lucien and Bellak stood on the magic circle and started to cast the spell, ready to activate the magic circle.
As Bellak chanted the spell, the magic circle started to shine in a dim light.
Suddenly, the same dim light came out of Bellak's body.
The light suddenly expanded and filled up the whole magic circle.
Lucien, who was still dizzy, looked at Bellak in surprise. Then he felt that the gray light around him was fading away quickly, and what appeared in front of him was a deep darkness. There were many twisted lines in the space, and there were many light spots in the space.
"He's the mastermind?!"
"A Level 9 scroll, 'Spatial Reversal'. How generous!"
Space Countercurrent was a ninth-circle spell that could interfere with teleportation.
The dim light swallowed Bellak and Bellak, and then they were thrown into the nearest light spot.
When Lucien got used to the dizziness and activated Douglas' Absorbing Wall, he found himself in the middle of a lake, and Bellak was floating in front of him. There was a proud smile on Bellak's dark and serious face. Putting his right hand on his left chest, Lucien bowed to Bellak elegantly.
"The Black Avenger, the one hundred and thirty-fifth among the night watchers, greets the Demon of Origin."
It was Bellak!
Bellak, who was waiting for the meeting to end, could easily tell the two sorcerers by sensing the footsteps near the door.
It turned out that the cursed vase made of radioactive materials had two purposes!
If Lucien did not find out, he would die of exhaustion in the "Lord's Wrath and Condemnation", and the Church would spread the news and attack the Congress of Magic.
If Lucien found out about the vase, Bellak would take the opportunity to investigate and protect the vase, and he would look for a better opportunity.
At this moment, the "cursed vase" became one of the thirty-six stratagems that Lucien had read before, "Alert the enemy".
