In short, the Eighth Walker was a being that even the Voidwalkers could not fathom. Baiyi was not the only one who had interacted with the Eighth Walker. Many others had tried to interact with the Eighth Walker as well, but the results were the same. How could people of different races understand each other? There was no such thing as a Gundam in this world, after all.
Since Baiyi had known the Eighth Walker for a long time, the Eighth Walker's reaction to him was one of the few times the Walker had changed. After that, the Eighth Walker returned to the Void without saying anything else. Perhaps the Eighth Walker thought that it had done what it had to do and said what it had to do. That ominous feeling had made Baiyi want to investigate the Eighth Walker. Had it achieved its goal?
"Now that I think about it, what it made me feel is really hard to describe. It's kind of like a sorcerer's psychic energy, but it's passive. It's like a lot of information and advice comes to me on its own accord. Hmm, it's really amazing …" Baiyi said as he tried to recall what he had felt. At the same time, he released his psychic energy to compare the differences between the two.
However, as soon as he extended his Will Power to his surroundings, he noticed that something was amiss. He stood up abruptly, and the black Book of Servitude appeared in his right hand. The pages of the Book of Servitude began to flip on its own. A circle of magic appeared in front of his chest, and the magic circle began to spread out in all directions.
"What's wrong?" The Fairy Walker stood up and asked.
Baiyi, who was busy chanting a Defensive Forbidden Spell, did not have the time to pay attention to him. Mia, who had been happily dancing, felt dizzy from the sudden increase in Baiyi's mana output. She fell to her knees, feeling dizzy.
Just as one of the Elves was about to help Mia to her feet, a dazzling golden barrier suddenly enveloped the entire square. It was the Absolute Barrier that the Archmage had used against the Lich Walker. It was the strongest and most comprehensive defensive forbidden spell in existence.
The fairies did not realize what was happening. When they looked up at the golden barrier, they saw a meteor with a long trail of flames streaking across the dark sky. Before the fairies could react or scream, the meteor had already crashed into the barrier. Sparks lit up the night sky, and the impact caused the ground to tremble. Sparks flew everywhere, setting the surrounding trees ablaze.
It was a top-tier fire-type forbidden spell, Heavenly Punishment Meteor. In just a few seconds, it had turned Eom Village into a sea of fire. If Baiyi had not cast a defensive forbidden spell to negate most of the impact, the entire forest within a two-kilometer radius would have been obliterated — not just Eom Village, but the entire forest within a two-kilometer radius.
The elves, who were still in a daze, immediately understood what was going on. However, they did not panic, nor did they scurry around like headless flies. Instead, they appeared to be rather calm, and only silently shed tears as they looked at their homeland that had turned into a sea of fire.
Perhaps their mental fortitude had something to do with the training of the Wind Chasing Shooters.
"Is anyone hurt? Everyone, get closer! Don't run around! Take good care of your children! "The elf elder shouted loudly.
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out from behind Baiyi. "What's going on?"
Baiyi turned around, and it was the charmingly naive Mr. Bear. How did it suddenly appear here from the distant forest?
"Put out the fire first." Baiyi did not have the time to think about Mr. Bear's sudden appearance. Instead, he prepared to cast a water-type forbidden spell to extinguish the fire.
"I'll do it," Mr. Bear said as it waved its round paws. The raging flames around it seemed to be covered by an invisible barrier. Without the necessary air to burn, the flames were extinguished in an instant, leaving only black charcoal behind.
"Very well. I'll go after the culprit," Baiyi said calmly. Just as he was about to leap into the air, another familiar voice rang out from beneath his feet.
"No need. They've already escaped."
Baiyi looked up and saw a talking stalk of grass. The Great Druid had arrived in an instant. However, the plaza was relatively empty, and there were no other plants for him to possess, so this was the best he could do.
Seeing this, Mr. Bear quickly grabbed a mushroom from the leftover food and planted it on the ground. Then, the mushroom spoke, "Those villains escaped right after they committed the crime. They must have known about my presence, so they used a flying spell to escape. I can't do anything about it …"
What happened to his previous image of virtue and prestige? Why can't you do anything about them flying? Don't you think your combat prowess is a little too different from your peers back on Earth? ' Baiyi was a little disappointed. Then, he continued, "They were very secretive and they used some kind of unknown method to hide the fluctuations of forbidden spells. If it wasn't for the fact that I accidentally spread out my psychic energy and sensed some strange magical fluctuations, I'm afraid it would have been too late …"
If one were to ask who was the most adept at such underhanded tricks, such that even Baiyi would not be able to detect a forbidden spell, then there was only one answer: Baiyi's old friends, the Godsfall cult.
The reason why he chose a spell like God's Punishment Meteor was naturally because this Forbidden Spell had an extremely large area of effect. Moreover, it was aimed at a large area such as a village. There was no need for him to use his mental strength to lock onto the target accurately. All he had to do was smash it in a general direction. Furthermore, the casting distance was especially long. It was one of the most suitable Forbidden Spells for sieging cities.
The weakness of this spell was obvious: it was too loud, and it was easy to be discovered. It was not very effective in a sneak attack, and it required a lot of materials to cast the spell. The preparation was also very tedious, so it was not very effective in actual combat.
However, the Godsfall cult had resolved all of these weaknesses. Their barrier could even block the fluctuations of Void Energy, so it was not a problem for them to block the fluctuations of a forbidden spell. This solved the biggest weakness of God's Wrath Meteor. As for the other materials and preparations, with the Godsfall cult's wealth and resources, it was not a problem at all.
They had turned this spell into a deadly ambush. If Baiyi had not been there, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"It's the Wise Mad King! That lunatic! Is he finally going to shed all pretense of cordiality and kill us? " The elf elder had also jogged over after settling his clansmen down. Panting, he said, "Fortunately, no one was hurt. It's just that our village … and our good brothers …" His gaze shifted to the side. There were a few charred Sabercheetah carcasses there.
Baiyi's Absolute Barrier did not cover the entire village, so he could not save the sabercats that were resting near his territory. This included the mother of the little furball in his arms. The poor little creature seemed to realize that something terrible had happened. Its furry body trembled, and it curled up in Baiyi's arms, whimpering in a childish voice.
Baiyi passed the baby sabercat to the Fairy Walker and told her to check on his students. Then, he turned to Mr. Bear and the Fairy Elder and said, "This place is no longer safe. A silent, deadly attack like the one just now could come again at any time. All of you must move, and you must stay under Mr. Bear's protection."
Mr. Bear nodded. "That poor kid … he's really gone mad. Tonight, bring everyone to my cave. Call the unicorns and the others. They'll be safe for now."
"Protect the villagers and my students," Baiyi said. "I'll take care of the rest."
Mr. Bear turned its head and stared at Baiyi. It sniffed the air with its equally round nose, and its eyes lit up with delight. "Did it send you?" it asked. "Did it send you? No wonder I smelled that familiar scent on you … "
Baiyi was taken aback, but he quickly understood what it meant. He did not have time to explain, so he nodded and said, "I'm its agent."
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved," Mr. Bear said, smiling at him. It seemed that it trusted Baiyi very much.
The two of them had only just met, so why was Mr. Bear so confident? A thought flashed across Baiyi's mind, but now was not the time to delve into it. He went back to the students, and after making sure that they were all safe and just a little shaken, he led them back to Mr. Bear.
Little Mia was still in shock, so she did not rush forward to hug the bear. Instead, she stared at the bear, which looked like a doll.
"They are my students, my most precious treasures. Please take care of them for me," Baiyi said seriously.
"Don't worry." The great druid in the form of a mushroom replied solemnly, though it did not sound convincing.
Baiyi turned to his students and said, "Everyone, be careful. Take care of yourselves. If you're in danger, remember the last resort I've prepared for you." He patted Mia's head. "Don't be afraid. Take out Sharkie. He'll protect you."
"Ugh … Mr. Hope, are you going on another adventure?" Little Mia took out the hammerhead shark plushie from her storage pouch and hugged it tightly to her chest. She raised her head and looked at Baiyi with wide eyes.
"It's not really an adventure. There aren't many things in this world that can put me in danger." Baiyi pinched her cheeks lightly, then pulled out a Walker from the Void and stuffed it into the hammerhead shark plushie.
