Face-Saving Spell, One Slash!

The members of the Astronomy Society looked even more serious than when they had encountered several fifth-tier Magic Creature blocking their way before.

After all, the temperament and behavior of Magic Creature are still traceable, but humans are different. Humans are much more complex and full of all sorts of uncertainties.

"The Netherlight Society is a large wizarding force, far stronger than our Astronomy Society in both strength and foundation."

Their Spell Inheritance is primarily based on the Nether Ghost tradition, but unlike typical Nether Ghost schools, they emphasize 'nurturing light with darkness and feeding darkness with light.'

Ai Wen stayed close to Ronan, speaking quickly in a low voice, acting like a "second-in-command," seemingly having long forgotten that the two sides had signed an agreement for equal cooperation.

Ronan nodded, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the place where the Astronomy Society's scout wizards had just been. In fact, with the help of the Fire Element's vision, he had already seen the appearance of the group of wizards from the Netherlight Society.

There were about a dozen people, all dressed in robes made of "Night Mist Silk," moving like wisps of mysterious smoke.

Each person's robe had glowing crystals inlaid on both sides of the shoulders, making the style of the clothing quite unique.

The wizards of the Netherlight Society were clearing out the wandering monsters in the waterway ahead. Led by a Level Five Wizard with particularly numerous crystal ornaments on his shoulders, they had almost finished clearing them out.

When Ronan and his group arrived, the other side had obviously noticed their presence. Many wizards from the Netherlight Society stopped and watched them from a distance with indifferent expressions.

"There are seven level four late-stage players alone, plus the level five players leading the team."

Ai Wen's expression was rather unpleasant. "Can we go around it like before?"

"There's no need."

Ronan shook his head and calmly said, "Leave it to me."

Ai Wen was taken aback, then slowly nodded.

Ronan strolled forward, with Hathaway following closely behind him like a shadow, staff in hand, seemingly eager to try her hand at it.

Ronan casually chatted with Hathaway, "If Misha were in this situation, what would she do?"

Hathaway curled her lip and said disdainfully, "Given that guy's personality, he'll most likely just charge straight in and treat these guys like they're invisible."

Ronan seemed to be thinking for a moment, then said calmly, "Then... let's make it even more Misha than Misha."

Hathaway blinked upon hearing this, not yet understanding what Ronan meant, when she saw Ronan's figure rise up step by step through the void like mist.

The Crystal Crown above his head radiated unparalleled splendor, and one after another, Elemental Lifeform emerged from the turbulent void around him, the vast majority of them being Water Elementals.

More than fifty Level Four Water Element gathered together, emitting incredibly intense energy fluctuations, like layers upon layers of deep blue waves, or like a well-trained army, protecting Ronan as he moved forward.

"I am Misha from the Deep Sea of Spirit Lake."

Ronan's cool and calm voice cut through the air, like a cold blade, heading towards the direction of the Netherlight Society wizards.

"Get out of here if you don't want trouble!"

Get out of here!

"Open!" The voice echoed through the wide waterway, and for a moment, all the wizards of the Netherlight Society were stunned.

Not only them, but the entire Astronomy Society was stunned.

No one expected Ronan to start like this. Apart from Hathaway, who was baring her teeth and rubbing her hands together, ready to make a move at any moment, everyone present was silenced by Ronan's "extremely arrogant" words.

What gives him the right?

A mere level four.

Wearing Crystal Crown and with his robes fluttering slightly, Ronan stood surrounded by a group of fourth-tier Elemental Lifeform, resembling a high and mighty, invincible monarch.

He doesn't mind causing conflict.

The reason for taking a detour earlier was that it was a faster and easier way than clearing the way through, but now that the road ahead is flat, wading through is the best option.

Perfect timing! He can also use the level 5 [Star Force Field] of the Netherlight Society to test its effects, something he's never done before.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

The liquefied Itai flowed down the sleeves of the robe, transforming into countless tiny, humming blades in Ronan's naturally hanging palm.

Ronan remained calm, his powerful Spiritual Force Field, as vast as a celestial body in motion, ready to burst forth from his body at any moment.

However, at that moment, a deep, slightly magnetic voice suddenly rang out.

"Crown of Deep Knowledge... Are you the Son of the Deep Sea this year from Spirit Lake?"

Ronan's gaze locked onto the Level 5 leader of the Netherlight Society. He was an ordinary-looking, somewhat gloomy middle-aged man with deep-set eyes, giving off a sense of deep cunning.

"You're that Misha from House Tirions?"

Ronan's eyes flickered slightly, and he narrowed them a little before asking, "You know me?"

"You probably don't know, but I attended your first birthday party back then. You were only this small."

The man forced a rather stiff and awkward smile, then turned his head and casually ordered, "Let's go."

Before Ronan could react, the group of wizards from the Netherlight Society vanished into the surrounding darkness like wisps of black smoke, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye.

Before leaving, the level 5 leader even cast a spell to clear out the last few wandering monsters in the waterway ahead for Ronan.

"Well"

The way things unfolded was so bizarre that even Ronan himself hadn't expected it.

He originally wanted to use Misha's identity so he could act without restraint.

Unexpectedly, just a few words were enough to drive them away! "Is this...?"

Ronan's eyes flickered slightly, as if deep in thought, "The effect of the legendary Face-Saving Spell?"

Shaking his head, Ronan turned around and beckoned the Astronomy Society to follow.

In any case, at least the road ahead is clearer now, and it saves us the trouble of taking action, so it's a good thing.

However, the way Ai Wen and the others looked at Ronan became a little strange.

It was a complex look in his eyes, a mixture of astonishment and a hint of fear. Ronan had always maintained an elegant and humble image in front of them.

Despite his exceptional talent, he was gentle, polite, approachable, and down-to-earth.

But the almost tyrannical strength and domineering attitude he had just displayed completely shattered Ai Wen and the others' perception of Ronan, and they even became more reserved in their attitude towards him.

Ronan was too lazy to explain anything.

After encountering the wizards of the Netherlight Society, the rest of the journey seemed exceptionally smooth.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Ronan and his companions finally arrived at the entrance to the Quivada Oasis, as predicted by the Star Chart!

Upon closer inspection, the entrance appears to be a massive circular disc, covered with numerous floating runes that emanate intense spatial energy fluctuations.

Ronan and A Nan De immediately recognized it as a scattered astrolabe. They believed that by adjusting the runes on the astrolabe to the correct positions, they could truly open the gate to the Quivada Oasis.

Unraveling the star chart wasn't difficult; for Ronan and A Nan De, who had studied the Keldim Ancient Star Chart along the way, it was like a child's game of puzzle-solving.

However, a group of people were already waiting at the entrance, which was right in front of them.

Nine wizards dressed in pure black robes blocked the entrance. Each of them had a huge Weeping Blood Eye pattern embroidered on the front of their robes, and they exuded a dark and cold aura, like nine black holes of different sizes, silently devouring the little light left in the waterway.

Even those with the weakest fluctuations in mental energy were at the late stage of level four.

There are three Level Five Wizards, and the leader is almost at the mid-level of the fifth level.

He had been studying the Astrolabe Gate in front of him with his head slightly tilted back. When he heard Ronan and the others arrive, he slowly turned around, revealing a cold, narrow, pale face. On his ears, two golden ouroboros pendants shone with a mysterious and beautiful light.

If the other Black Robe Wizard were like black holes that devoured light, then this person was the most profound and immense. His invisible aura almost overwhelmed everyone, and his silhouette in the darkness seemed to be growing infinitely higher and larger every moment... "Looks like the person who opened the door for us has arrived."

The young man wearing golden snake earrings stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Ronan and his group. His gaze swept lightly over the Astronomy Society insignia on Ai Wen and the others' robes, and he spoke with a half-smile.

When Ai Wen was swept by the gaze of the Gold Serpent Earring Man, he felt as if he had been bitten hard by an invisible, venomous snake. In an instant, he felt an immense sense of terror, his whole body tensed up and his scalp tingled.

"The Witch Wizard Heart Hall!"

He forced out a few words through gritted teeth, "They're wizards from the Wizard Heart Hall!"

The members of the Astronomy Society immediately became terrified.

Spirit Lake and the Wizard Heart Hall are two behemoths that dominate the various wizarding forces in the Destiny Empire. Compared to Spirit Lake, the Wizard Heart Hall of the Wizard Heart Hall inspires more awe and fear, as it is an unadulterated black-robed force, and its Wizard Heart Hall are known for their ruthless and vicious actions.

Summoning courage from who-knows-where, one of the members of the Astronomy Society pointed at Ronan and shouted to the Gold Serpent Earring Man and others under the Astrolabe Gate, "He is the Son of the Deep Sea Spirit Lake, Misha Tirions!"

The slightly distorted sound echoed in the silent waterway, while the wizards of the Wizard Heart Hall Astrolabe Gate remained expressionless.

The Gold Serpent Earring Man at the head tilted his head and stared at Ronan intently for a while.

Then he responded with an "Oh," shook his head, and said indifferently, "I'm sorry, I don't know him."

The Astronomy Society wizard who had spoken stood frozen in place, momentarily at a loss for what to do, while the expressions on Ai Wen and the others' faces also turned rather grim.

The "Misha" they had always relied on seemed to have lost its effectiveness in the face of the Wizard Heart Hall, which was also Super Large wizarding power. One can imagine what kind of fate awaited them next.

The entrance was right in front of him! Ai Wen clenched his fists tightly, feeling utterly unwilling to accept it.

He instinctively looked to Ronan for help, but surprisingly, Ronan seemed calmer than anyone else on the field.

"Looks like the Face-Saving Spell failed."

Ai Wen suddenly heard Ronan say something inexplicable.

"That guy doesn't have much face to begin with, he's just good at intimidating ordinary people."

Hathaway chimed in, curling her lip in disdain.

Ronan shook his head and said nothing more, but simply raised his right hand and pressed down in a daze.

A strange magical fluctuation emanated from his palm, and the Crystal Crown on his head became dazzling at this moment.

The next moment, the dozens of Level Four Water Element surrounding everyone shattered simultaneously, and the released energy surged out in one direction.

Mysterious runes intertwined and coupled within, and finally, accompanied by a strange buzzing sound, "Boom!" A water elemental, over five meters tall, with surging Water Element waves flowing all over its body and emitting intense level five energy fluctuations, strode out.

"Splash—"

A tremendous roar, like the crashing of waves, echoed through the empty waterway, and the massive, imposing body of the Water Element cast a deep blue reflection on the surroundings.

Ai Wen's expression went from stunned to excited, and then to full of surprise.

Level Five Water Element! He finally realized.

Yes, Misha possesses the Crown of Deep Knowledge, and he can summon Level Five Water Element! If that's the case, they might be able to directly confront the wizards of the Wizard Heart Hall on the other side.

Even if we only manage a draw in the end, we'll still have the right to sit down and have an equal conversation, instead of becoming just a tool to open doors for others!

Thinking of this, a strange sense of pride and impulse welled up in Ai Wen's heart. He never thought that he would have the opportunity to compete with the genius of the Wizard Heart Hall.

He saw the disdainful sneers on the cold, sinister faces Astrolabe Gate, especially the Gold Serpent Earring Man at the head, whose mockery was magnified to the extreme.

Ai Wen didn't care about any of that. As long as he could ensure that Misha could summon a second, a third, or even more fifth-tier elementals, he might be able to bring these high-ranking figures down from their pedestals.

Ai Wen gritted his teeth, just about to shout the slogan "Protect Misha!"

But at that moment, a cool and indifferent voice rang out before him.

"Hathaway, you control this Level Five Water Element and keep an eye on them."

"Yes, Master."

As Hathaway responded obediently, Ai Wen paused for a moment, then saw Ronan, whom he had always regarded as the "brain" of the team, known for his wisdom and methods but with average strength, calmly and deftly take a step forward.

With a "whoosh," it appeared above everyone's heads.

Immediately following, under the dazzling light of the Crystal Crown, the sound of countless believers chanting softly suddenly echoed in the void.

Terrifying bursts of magical energy suddenly surged forth, and golden lightning appeared out of nowhere in the void.

Accompanied by the melodious sounds of countless swords clashing, a Torrent of golden metal, like a soaring dragon, burst forth from Ronan's robe sleeves, disintegrating in the void into countless crimson-gold fragments, which then swiftly reassembled into a golden blade over a hundred meters long, resembling an eagle's wing.

Exquisite and luxurious Golden Tentacles coiled and climbed along the blade, dripping with asphalt-like golden flames. "The Spirit Maya Poem... [Golden Origin]!"

As Ronan's calm voice rang out, a powerful Spiritual Force Field, resembling invisible celestial bodies orbiting around him, suddenly burst forth from his body, radiating starlight throughout the entire area.

Ronan, looking down from his vantage point, casually slashed out with his sword.

Behind the golden blade flash that pierced the sky in an instant, a hazy and dreamlike golden world was revealed.

It also illuminated the faces of the group of Black Robe Wizard from the Wizard Heart Hall beneath the Astrolabe Gate, including the Gold Serpent Earring Man, all of whom were filled with astonishment and shock.
