The Final Battle (7)

After Murellia's explanation, Hadessta finally understood the situation. He hurriedly said to Yelibell, "Girl, the situation is urgent. You have to tell this to that brat right away so he can come up with a solution!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We need to let that brat know what's going on here right away! (Gilkunis, Woodman)"

Faced with the advice of the crowd, Yelibell, always a democratic person, readily accepted it and immediately contacted Sordil using Mind Talk. However, as time went on, her brows not only did not relax, but instead became even more furrowed.

Seeing Yelibell's reaction, Hadessta and the others immediately realized that something must have happened. So, Hadessta, the elected representative, hurriedly asked, "Girl, does the brat not know what to do either?"

Yelibell gently shook her head, then said to everyone, "My brother Sordil just told me that he's busy treating Uncle Sage Dragon and doesn't have time to think about these things, so we'll have to solve this ourselves!"

Upon hearing Sordil's reply, Hadessta and the others felt a jolt of fear, followed by a wave of bewilderment and panic that overwhelmed their minds.

"That unreliable brat, he's letting us down at this crucial moment! He's going to get us killed!" (Gilkunis)

"Alright! Stop complaining! The brat didn't do it on purpose; he didn't know the enemy would come at this time!" (Hadessta)

After calming down the agitated Gilkunis and the others, Hadessta turned to Yelibell and said, "Girl, contact that brat again and ask him if he can find a way to save the Sage Dragon's life first, and then carry out follow-up treatment after the battle is over."

"Uncle Hadessta, I just asked Brother Sordil. He said that if we give up on treatment now, it will be impossible to save Uncle Sage Dragon. That's why he entrusted us with the task of fighting off the enemy. He also said that with our abilities, we can definitely do a great job even without him."

"What kind of time is this? That brat's still using these psychological tricks! He's trying to screw us over!" (Gilkunis)

Hadessta, unable to stand Gilkunis's incessant chatter, delivered a Hand Knife to his neck, silencing him.

"Since that brat trusts us so much, we can't let him down! Yelibell, immediately gather everyone together. This time, we'll resolve this crisis on our own!" (Hadessta)

"Okay! I'll let everyone know right away!"

North side of Peterburg City

Compared to other directions, this place was exceptionally quiet, as if the war not far away had nothing to do with it. However, this tranquility was broken by the arrival of a dark cloud!

"Chirp chirp"

Sensing the presence of the dark clouds, the birds perched in the woods cried out and fled into the distance, while the beasts fled east and west along the forest trails. Before long, the forest returned to silence, but compared to the previous stillness, it now carried a sense of solemnity and oppression.

At the same time, whispers rang out simultaneously from the front, middle, and rear parts of the black cloud.

"Yate, are we really going to join forces with these guys from the Western Continent? (Livia)"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't let them hear you! (Yate)"

"Livia, you don't really think we're going to surrender, do you? (Maser)"

Upon hearing Masergrera's words, Livia instantly understood the intentions of her two old friends.

"Phew! You guys acted really well, you even fooled me! (Livia)"

"Heh! How can you fool those idiots if you don't act convincingly? (Burz)"

"I think our acting wasn't convincing enough, otherwise those guys wouldn't have seen through us and positioned us in the center of the group!" (Phil)

Hearing his old friend's words, Atlas Flame shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true! Maybe they're just looking out for security reasons. However, we should also be prepared to be exposed and prevent them from taking advantage of our weakness later."

"Yes! Yate is right, we need to be prepared for all sorts of situations! By the way, Yate, should we tell Xizhalansa (Maser) about the plan?"

"What? Tell Xizhalansa? He... (Burz)"

After covering Burz's mouth with his hand, Atlas Flame cautiously scanned his surroundings. Only after confirming that no one else was paying attention did he release his hand.

"Burz, do you want everyone to know about our plans? (Yate)"

"Yate, I didn't mean to shout, I was just... just startled by what Maser said, so... (Burz)"

"Of course I know that, otherwise I would have killed you just now!" (Yate)

"Alright! Alright! Let's forget about what just happened. Let's discuss whether we should tell Xizhalansa about the plan!" (Maser)

With Maser's intervention as a peacemaker, the little incident was successfully resolved, and everyone resumed their unfinished discussion.

"I don't think we should tell Xizhalansa about the plan, because that guy might actually betray us!" (Livia)

"I agree with Livia's point of view! (Phil)"

"Me too! (Burz)"

"Alright! Since everyone believes that Xizhalansa has truly betrayed us, we must be careful and wary of this guy when we take action! (Maser)"

After determining whether the betrayal was genuine or not, Masergrera and the others discussed in detail the methods and timing of the operation. Once everything was arranged, the five dispersed to different corners of the group to inform their subordinates who were preparing for the uprising.

Just as Atlas Flame and the others finished their secret talks and prepared for action, Shideweig, who was at the front of the group, and Glaide, who was at the rear, also completed their strategic deployment and quietly awaited the change.

Peterburg City, Central Battlefield

After finishing the final stroke of the Magic Array on the ground, Sordil strode to the center of the Magic Array. He then drew a large amount of Space Magic from his body, condensing it into a sphere, and suspended it above the Magic Array. After doing this, Sordil turned to Diphiya and said, "Diphiya, if anything happens later, place this Space Magic sphere in the center of the Teleportation Array. It will automatically activate and transport you to a safe place."

Upon hearing Sordil's deathbed instructions, Diphiya and the other woman immediately realized that Sordil might be risking his life, so they hurriedly tried to stop him.

"Brother, Uncle Sage Dragon has already left. We can't lose you too! Please stop!" (Diphiya)

"You bastard, Diphiya is right, we can't lose you anymore, please stop!"

Sordil smiled at the two of them and said, "Irene, you don't need to worry about me, I'll be fine!"

"Brother, my wife and I may not be as smart as you, but we still have basic judgment. If your next move is really that safe, then why did you set up a Teleportation Array in advance and even prepare the Space Magic to activate Teleportation Array?"

Sordil felt happy but also a bit of a headache facing his younger sister's sudden growth. However, in order to help Irene escape that dark future, Sordil had no choice but to take a gamble.

"Space Magic: Prison, Imprisonment"

"Buzz!"

The space around Diphiya and her companion suddenly trembled, and then they found themselves unable to move.

Just as the two were growing increasingly anxious, the culprit shouted to them from afar, "Don't worry, you two. After I rescue Uncle Sage Dragon, I will release you from the spatial confinement." (Actually, Old Suo wasn't lying to them. Rescuing Sage Dragon wouldn't endanger his life; on the contrary, it might cause Diphiya and the other girl to die.)

After overcoming the obstacles to the operation, Sordil went to the corpse of the Sage Dragon and began to inscribe another Magic Array.

A moment later, the formation was completed, and a transparent bluish-white barrier appeared around Sordil and Sage Dragon, separating the two from the entire world.

With the barrier established, all the preparations needed for Old Suo to heal Sage Dragon were completed, and the young master began chanting magic.

"The fourth coordinate of free flight, the pillar of truth in the void, the sacred god representing eternity and the end, Chronos! Your faithful followers call out here, hoping that you will hear the most devoted worship in this world, show your truest power to the ignorant masses, and let that irreversible arc start anew!"

"The Arc of Time, The End, Return to One"

"Buzz!"

As Sordil finished chanting, bright blue lights appeared beneath his feet. These lights then climbed up the barrier and eventually formed a blue-purple band of light in front of Sordil.

Just as the band of light formed, the wind stopped in mid-air, freezing the swaying branches of the flowers, grasses, and trees in place. They lost their natural colors and became the most realistic lines in a landscape painting. In fact, not only the flowers, grasses, and trees, but the entire Asland lost its natural colors and vitality, transforming into a lifelike ink painting.

At this moment, the only thing in the entire world that still retained its original color was Sordil before the band of light. However, the young master had no time to appreciate this incredibly strange scenery, for he only had this one chance; if he failed, the Sage Dragon would never return. And Irene would once again embark on that utterly gloomy path.

Therefore, the young master widened his eyes and carefully searched for every light and shadow in the band of light to avoid missing his target.
