Chapter 281: Balance Domain

Feinuoweita simply could not believe his eyes, but the facts were just so, and most crucially, what that human was holding in his hand was—

The Star Dew Scepter!!

Although Feinuoweita had never personally seen the family's symbol of power—the Star Dew Scepter—before, he had already seen it countless times in relevant picture books, projections, and even replicas with slightly different designs!

He was certain that it was the Star Dew Scepter!

He just didn't know why it had been obtained by a human, but it didn't matter; he would soon be able to take it back. The treasures of the Star Dew Family were not to be touched by others!

Taking advantage of the moment when the Magic Net outside was filling the "voids" in the Mythallar range, Feinuoweita activated his protective Magic Artifacts one by one and added all the Protective Spells he had mastered.

Finally, he drew a long sword from his waist and stepped into the chaotic area of the Magic Net while holding the sword.

If it weren't to obtain the Star Dew Scepter as soon as possible, he would never have needed to take such a risk, but the Family Guard might arrive at any moment, and he had no choice but to do so.

Just one step into the chaotic area, several of his Protective Spells were declared shattered. Feinuoweita's expression did not change, and he calmly replenished them.

And with the next step, a ball of dark red fire suddenly appeared out of thin air and crashed straight toward him. Feinuoweita did not attempt to dodge.

Having had the experience of exploring Mythallar Ruins, he knew that these randomly attacking Magic were just autonomously triggered when the chaotic Magic Net sensed him as a source of interference. Dodging was impossible; one could only endure it.

Moreover, it was not just him being attacked; everything in the entire chaotic area would be subject to random attacks. Fortunately, the power of these attacks was not great.

It was enough to occasionally replenish a few Protective Spells.

If one wanted to save trouble, one could even forcibly comb through the surrounding Magic Net to avoid those random attacks, but this method saved trouble but not effort.

It was generally only used when exploring in groups; perhaps the Family Guard arriving later would adopt such a method.

But at this moment, Feinuoweita had to reserve his strength to deal with that human in the ruins—or rather, the Star Dew Scepter.

A thousand years ago, the Star Dew Scepter was only used as a symbol of power and a key to the Semi-plane. Few people knew its specific functions, but there was no doubt that it was a very powerful Magic Item.

The rebound of the Magic Net caused various Magic phenomena to appear frequently within the original Mythallar range. The human figure in the distance had long been submerged behind various anomalies. Feinuoweita simply locked onto that direction from afar and kept moving forward.

All the various attacks that hit him along the way had no effect on his agile pace; a light leap was enough to cover the distance an ordinary human would walk in two or three steps.

Before long, Feinuoweita's pace slowed down. He became exceptionally careful because that human was less than a hundred meters away!

He could already see the other party's graying hair, as well as the wreckage of a Magic Array on the ground with an unknown function but already destroyed. The Star Dew Scepter was in the hands of that human Mage; the other party seemed to be studying it?

"This is not a good place for research!"

Feinuoweita muttered to himself, stopping his steps. Although there were various anomalies here obstructing the sight of both sides, it was only a slight obstruction.

No one knew whether that human Mage holding the Star Dew Scepter could discover his existence.

"This position is just right!"

Feinuoweita understood the routines of human Mages very well; they wanted to run away as soon as something went wrong and lacked respect for battle and for their opponents. Therefore, to deal with a human Mage, one had to cut off his retreat first.

Only then would they dare to fight head-on.

Now that he was in the chaotic area of the Magic Net, a wide-area 【Forbidden Restriction】 was simply tantamount to confronting the Magic Net of the entire chaotic area. Therefore, the most appropriate approach was to seal the other party himself.

Feinuoweita first forcibly combed the Magic Net within half a foot of his body to create good conditions for the subsequent Spellcasting, and then silently chanted the incantation.

Calling it an incantation, it was actually a poem. Feinuoweita hid the Magic elements in the pronunciation and tone. It was not that he could not skip this step, but casting spells this way was more composed and elegant.

And not as crude and impatient as human Mages!

Of course, in intense Spell confrontations, Elves also had ways to adapt, but this opening poem was still indispensable!

……

At the same time, Aipusi, who was only a hundred meters away from the Elf Archmage, was worried about the mysterious Scepter in his hand.

According to his original plan, after obtaining the Plane Crystal, he would use the balancing effect of the Magic Array to randomly teleport out. As long as he left this chaotic area of the Magic Net, he could immediately teleport back to his Territory.

However, facts were always unexpected. First, when the Magic Array "obtained" the Plane Crystal, what it retrieved was not the Plane Crystal, but a mysterious Scepter. Because of this, the Magic Array was completely destroyed, causing him to lose his ability to teleport.

Afterward, he discovered that this mysterious Scepter could automatically comb the surrounding Magic Net environment, but this half-foot "Balance Domain" was not under his control; it was just mechanically controlled by him, either opening or closing.

Aipusi had tried many times; as long as he held this mysterious Scepter and opened the "Balance Domain," he could not cast spells, and of course, it was impossible to teleport away.

Correspondingly, as long as the external Spells could not break through this layer of "Balance Domain," they could not affect him either, which was equivalent to being protected by the 【Magic Immunity】 effect at all times.

But this was not what Aipusi wanted!

He wanted to leave this chaotic area of the Magic Net quickly. If he walked, he might meet others outside, and it was even possible that someone had already come in!

Time was running out for him!

Aipusi groped the mysterious Scepter again. He considered himself quite knowledgeable about Elf Magic Items, but for this mysterious Scepter inlaid with a Plane Crystal, he was truly helpless!

"How could it be like this!"

He felt as if he had fallen into some kind of vortex. If he could not get out as soon as possible, there might be greater trouble, or even disaster.

Just as Aipusi was struggling with the Scepter in his hand, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a green ray of light, coming straight at him from a hundred meters away on the left!

Aipusi's first reaction was not to defend, but—

"Someone has come to investigate so soon?! I can't let him recognize me!"

But then he realized that the other party had already launched an attack on him; how could they not have seen him? As long as they knew his appearance, it would be easy to find out his identity!

Aipusi was about to dodge the other party's attack, but the ray dissipated just as it flew in front of him. It was not because of the "Balance Domain" of the mysterious Scepter, but the influence of the environment.

And at the same time the ray disappeared, he also identified the information hidden in this Spell—

It was an Elf!

This was the situation Aipusi least wanted to see, and the other party wanted to restrict his teleportation ability as soon as they attacked, even though he had already lost his teleportation ability at this moment.

But how could such an action not make him angry!

Of the two restrictions that Spellcasters feared most, one was restricting flight, and the other was restricting teleportation. Apart from these two, Spellcasters were fearless.

"Can't let him leave!" Aipusi made a decision instantly.

Although he could not cast 【Teleportation】 at this moment, other low-level Spells did not have much restriction.

As long as he closed the "Balance Domain" of the mysterious Scepter, his own ability to comb the Magic Net was enough for him to use low-level Spells. It was just that being in this chaotic Magic Net environment, he was not sure if those Spells could still hit the other party.

Must get closer!
