Seeing Baiyi's serious attitude, Laeticia was taken aback for a moment. Then, she nodded her head solemnly and replied, "I understand. I trust you."
It was normal for a kind-hearted girl to trust a person who she felt was very close to and also saved her in a time of danger.
"Very good." Baiyi nodded his head in satisfaction. Releasing his hands, he continued, "The evil that you sensed just now is a sign that the devils are about to invade Arfin City. And over there," he pointed at the Mage Tower that was still smoking, "there's an extremely powerful devil that's awakening. I have to stop it as soon as possible."
"I'll go with you!" Laeticia said, dumbfounded.
"No!" Baiyi quickly shook his head. "You have more important things to do. There are still many weak students in this academy, and they need your help. I need you to find your comrades from the Church and meet up with the students. Do not act on your own. At times like this, chaos is the worst enemy." Baiyi shook his head.
At a time like this, chaos was the worst. The students and teachers still had some combat power, and if they banded together, they might be able to protect themselves. However, if chaos broke out, it would be no less destructive than the demons.
In a situation like this, staying calm and rational was the most important thing.
Laeticia wasn't stupid. She quickly figured it out and replied, "I understand. I will put on my armor and gather the rest of my companions to meet up with them."
"Very good!" Baiyi ruffled her hair out of habit. "One last thing. I have a friend who would like to pass on some of his power to you. Memorize it."
Baiyi imitated the Cleric Walker's technique with his mana. "Remember the way to channel the Divine Power and the prayer. This power will help you in times of need."
When Laeticia saw Baiyi's disguise, she suddenly looked a little excited. Even her words became a little stuttering, "This … This is …"
"Yes. This is the power of Saint Joel, the solitary Abyssal Saint," Baiyi said. "He is with you."
After teaching the Cleric Walker the Cleric's ultimate technique, Baiyi and Laeticia parted ways and hurried to the academic building. Along the way, he did not see any demons or students running around. They were much calmer than he had expected.
After leaving Laeticia, he also tested his current output. It did not decrease because of their separation. Instead, it increased a little. This discovery gave him a little surprise, but he didn't have the time to delve into the specific principles.
"You shouldn't have tried to face off against an Abyss Lord. Even though he's only just awakened, he's different from the opponents you've faced in the past. He's not a suitable opponent, even if he can use the power of the Void," the Abyss Devil suddenly said.
"Our best option right now is to take Mia and leave," the Lich Walker said. "What you're doing right now is stupid."
"Sorry, I'm in charge now." Baiyi replied coldly. Their opposition was not beyond his expectation, "I'm not a kind person but I can't bear to see people being slaughtered. This is my bottom line."
Hearing his words, the Lich Walker and the Abyss Devil chose to remain silent.
However, when he arrived at the academic building, he did not see any demons. Instead, he saw Attie on the way.
"Why are you here?" Baiyi asked in surprise. If she was here, it would save him a lot of worry.
"I sensed danger outside and I was worried about you so I rushed here," Attie said while panting. Her face was red. It was obvious that she had run all the way here.
The girl was quite smart. She knew where the safest place was. However, whether she was worried about Baiyi or she was afraid, that was another matter.
Other than Attie, all the students and teachers of the academy were also gathering at the same place. President Rhansey was hovering in the air using the Levitation Spell while shouting at the top of his lungs. A few teachers were also busy gathering the students and the Soul Armatures to organize their own defense force.
Although it was noisy everywhere with faint cries and screams, no one was running away in panic. Instead, they were calmly organizing their own defense. The academy's handling of the situation was not bad at all.
Noticing Baiyi's arrival, the president quickly flew down from the sky and said to Baiyi, "Master Hope, thank goodness you're in the academy as well. We'll go and meet up with the city guards after we're done here. Your strength is urgently needed."
Before he could finish his sentence, Baiyi quickly waved his hand and interrupted him, "I'll leave the students to you. I'm going to deal with that big guy now."
"What?" The president's face turned pale. At that moment, there was more than just laughter coming from the magical furnace. An evil and powerful wave was constantly being emitted from the furnace. Even the students could feel it. Many devils had started to gather at the furnace after they came out of the realm crack. That was why the academy was still relatively clean for the time being.
Baiyi ignored his doubt and continued to say, "Also, try to bring the students as far away from that Mage Tower as possible. Don't look for the city guards blindly. They're useless. You should be able to sense that there are a lot of space cracks in Arfin and the city is in chaos. Go somewhere far away and protect yourselves first."
The president pondered for a while and finally understood Baiyi's reasoning. He nodded his head.
After that, Baiyi ignored him and found Mia and Tisdale among the large group of students. The moment the two girls saw him, they immediately threw themselves into his arms. Baiyi hugged both of them and after whispering a few words of comfort, he kneeled down in front of Mia and looked her straight in the eyes, "Mia, I need your help now."
"Okay!" Mia nodded her head vigorously without asking any questions.
Baiyi quickly used his Mana to draw a unique formation in the air. Then, he placed the three empty Octuplet Twin Crystals at the three nodes of the formation and continued to say, "According to what I've taught you before, I need you to use your Psychic Energy to maintain the operation of this formation. This process will be very painful, but you have to persevere."
Mia nodded her head again and did not ask any questions. Without hesitation, she took the formation from Baiyi's hands and maintained it with her own Psychic Energy.
"You have to hold on. The longer you hold on, the higher the chance we have of being saved. This formation is the key to saving us all," Baiyi said sternly. "Haven't you always wanted to help us all? Now is the time to do so. "
Mia's expression instantly turned serious. Although she did not know why the formation was so important, she believed in everything that Baiyi said unconditionally. She believed that this was the time for her to carry out her beliefs.
"Sharkie will protect you," Baiyi said. He sent a Walker's consciousness into the hammerhead shark plushie. At a time like this, he did not have much time to think about who was more suitable, so naturally, he chose the one he trusted the most.
"Sir, you're going to the most dangerous place, aren't you?" Tisdale suddenly asked.
"Not really dangerous, just a little troublesome," Baiyi said casually, as if facing the Abyss Lord was a piece of cake.
"Take care of your sister," he said, stroking Tisdale's head.
"I'll protect her with my life," Tisdale replied solemnly.
"Wait for my return," Baiyi said. He used his mask to kiss the foreheads of the two girls, just like a father kissing his daughter. Then, he activated a levitation spell and flew towards the direction of the Mage Tower.
"Mr. Hope …" Mia carefully held the formation that Baiyi had left in her hand. She stared at the direction where Baiyi had left, unwilling to look away for a long time.
The function of the formation was simple. It was to forcibly increase the mana capacity of Mia's body. The three empty Octuplet twin crystals were the key to this. Even though there was no longer any mana in them, they were still an excellent medium for increasing the capacity of the formation, further enhancing the effect of the formation.
As soon as Baiyi left, Laeticia, who had already changed into her Saintess armor, led the rest of the students to meet up with the rest of the students. The president sensed that the energy waves were getting stronger and stronger, and he knew that he could not wait any longer. Immediately, he ordered the troops to move out and advance towards the nearest wealthy district.
At this time, a large group of demons had already appeared in front of Baiyi. They were not in a hurry to kill or loot. Instead, they were loyally guarding the area, waiting for the arrival of the Supreme Lord.
"This scene reminds me of the picture on Earth. Is it a picture of a hero or a coward?" The Scholar said in the Void. "But since you're willing to let Mia use that formation, I guess you won't be a coward."
Baiyi did not answer. Instead, he tested the limit of his current output. The formation in Mia's hand began to spin, and blue mana instantly filled the Octuplet Twin Crystals. Little Mia furrowed her brows in discomfort.
"With Laeticia's sudden appearance and the formation, we should be able to produce enough power for now," Baiyi said in the Void.
"Oh? Looks like we can finally use the secret technique that we've been waiting for! "The Scholar exclaimed in delight.
Baiyi did not say anything. Instead, he started to make all kinds of hand seals in front of his chest. The mana that filled his body was quickly converted into Void Energy.
The secret technique was developed by his teacher, but he did not have the time to give it a weird name.
"So, this is the technique that everyone has been waiting for!" Baiyi finished the last hand seal and glanced at the demons that were charging towards him. He whispered the name of the secret technique.
