Chapter 128: Chaos in the Southern District

Chapter 128: Chaos in the Southern District

Rorl vividly remembered the event that had shocked the entire wizarding world three years ago, leading to the downfall of the Psychic School. Naturally, he understood Tiek's concerns and couldn't help but inquire, "Mr. Tiek, what should we do now? If something has indeed gone wrong, it's likely that our own powers alone won't be sufficient to handle it."

This was Herlram's headquarters, and without a doubt, the great wizard Herlram was not someone they could easily contend with.

"Of course, there's no need to do anything!" Tiek replied succinctly. "The setup of this magic formation has been in place for a long time. It shouldn't encounter any issues in the short term."

He added, "And considering the time, they should be arriving soon."

Rorl immediately understood who Tiek was referring to, those representatives from the Academic Conferences. Clearly, Tiek had taken this opportunity to enlist some assistance.

"That's right," Tiek confirmed, dispersing the magical images that had appeared in the void. "If I'm not mistaken, your teacher, Master Ougusto, should be coming as well."

Upon hearing this news, excitement and joy flickered across Rorl's face. His earlier worries dissipated, and he confidently said, "If my teacher is coming, then I can rest easy."

"So, all we need to do now is wait and hope that these days go smoothly," Tiek said calmly, stroking his long beard.

However, just as those words left his mouth, Tiek's expression suddenly changed, and he swiftly turned to look in the direction of the Southern District.

A powerful surge of magical energy was emanating from that direction.

Tiek and Rorl exchanged glances, and after casting a "Slow Fall" spell on themselves, they leaped from the towering rooftop and raced towards the Southern District.

They weren't the only ones who sensed the surge of magical energy. Professors and students awoke from their slumber, filled with anxiety, as if a terrifying disaster was drawing near.

When Tiek arrived in the Southern District, all he saw was chaos. Countless commoners, apprentices, and even wizards were fleeing in a frenzy.Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.

With such chaos in the harbor, the fact that Herlram, who held authority, was nowhere to be found left everyone present feeling anxious, as if they had lost their leader.

"Master Herlram left Iyeta Harbor for the Wizard City of Greenrill a while ago," Phillip explained with a hesitant expression.

"Now that the master is not here, we'll have to rely on our own strength to quell the chaos in the Southern District," Tiek quickly took the lead, not mentioning their earlier speculations. Instead, he looked at the assembled wizards and continued, "I believe most of you have heard of the tragedy at the Psychic School three years ago. If we don't stop this magic formation quickly, the entire harbor city will soon become a city of death... Think about it, this is tens of thousands of lives!"

With Tiek's earnest persuasion, most of the wizards eventually took action. They still held some attachment to Iyeta Harbor.

As the magic formation nodes hidden in the Southern District were destroyed, by the time the morning light broke, the spreading Soul-Devouring Magic Formation finally came to a halt.

Lynn had also taken advantage of the chaos in the Southern District to blend in with the crowd and help destroy several internal nodes. This made the situation progress so smoothly.

Until noon the next day, Tiek, Rorl, Phillip, Kevin, and the others had settled the terrified commoners and returned to Iyeta Academy to discuss the next steps.

Although the chaotic situation had been brought under control, everyone still wore a worried expression.

The number of commoners and wizards killed by the magic formation in the entire Southern District likely totaled in the thousands. Such a vast amount of spiritual power, no matter where it was directed, posed a massive threat.

Lynn sat in the meeting room, listening to the discussions of the others, maintaining his silence. He knew that all the spiritual power had funneled into the Wailing Tower, creating a vengeful spirit on the level of a grand wizard.

But this matter involved Herlram, the founder of the Iyeta School of Mystical Arts. If Lynn were to rashly reveal what he knew, it might lead to unnecessary suspicions and accusations. After all, Lynn couldn't explain why he remained unaffected by the Soul-Devouring Magic Formation or how he had defeated a grand wizard.

Since the vengeful spirit of Iyeta couldn't leave the Wailing Tower, it was best to wait for the council to send someone to deal with the situation.
