Chapter 282: Last Resort

Here, Feinuoweita's "opening poem" not only failed to achieve the effect he wanted, but also attracted the attention of the human Mage.

Watching the human Mage running toward him while brandishing the Star Dew Scepter, Feinuoweita found it quite ridiculous, but ridiculous as it was, his Spellcasting did not cease.

It was still the 【Dimensional Anchor】 that restricted teleportation, only he had performed an Ascending Ring process, adding the two effects of "Extreme Speed" and "Extended Range" to this originally 3rd Circle Spell.

Such a 【Dimensional Anchor】 had already become a substantial 5th Circle Spell, which required balancing more than 5 layers of the Magic Net to be used normally.

Although Feinuoweita felt somewhat strained, the effect was excellent; a green ray shot out almost at the speed of light.

He saw the human Mage try to dodge, but how could such extreme speed be easily dodged!

"Futile!" Feinuoweita had already foreseen the opponent's end, but the next instant he widened his eyes, and his previously calm and composed face showed some agitation.

That ray suddenly dissipated just as it entered within half a foot of the human Mage!

"This—"

Feinuoweita immediately realized it was the effect of the Star Dew Scepter; even his Balance Domain could not ignore a 5th Circle Spell, let alone the fact that the opponent was only a human Mage!

"Why did no one tell me the Star Dew Scepter actually has this kind of ability!"

With no time to complain about his Patriarch brother, Feinuoweita knew he had to make a decision: leave the chaotic area first and then plan accordingly, or fight the opponent for it right here.

He admitted that he had underestimated the true power of his family's symbol of authority; perhaps this was part of that power!

But if he retreated, the credit for retrieving the Star Dew Scepter would no longer belong solely to him! There might also be variables regarding the Wisdom Gem!

Feinuoweita struggled internally; if he didn't try again, he would never be reconciled, so he began to prepare for the next probe while calling out:

"Human! The Scepter in your hand belongs to the Star Dew Family; put it down, and you still have a chance to live!"

Even when used for a warning, Elvish sounded so elegant, fluent, and rhythmic!

It was not that Feinuoweita could not speak human language, but he knew that few human Mages did not know Elvish; of course, there was also the reason that he was unwilling to use so-called inferior languages.

Whenever possible, Feinuoweita was unwilling to converse with humans, especially when it involved the Star Dew Scepter; those who dared to touch the Star Dew Scepter deserved only death.

But if a conversation could allow him to easily obtain the family Scepter, he didn't mind saying two, three, or even more sentences.

However, the human Mage's running pace did not stop, and as the distance closed, the anomalies caused by the Magic Net riot between the two were no longer enough to obstruct his vision; Feinuoweita could see very clearly the emotionless murderous intent in the opponent's eyes.

Whether to "win with words" or to delay the Spellcasting time, Feinuoweita shouted again, "Human, stop! Do you know you are facing the Star Dew Family of Cormanthor? Put down the Scepter in your hand, and I will forgive your offense!"

But Aipusi had long been determined to deal with the opponent, so how could he be easily swayed by a few words? The opponent's goal was the Scepter in his hand, but this was something he could not give up.

Upon hearing the origin mentioned by the opponent, Aipusi knew that this moment was no longer as simple as retreating; even if he retreated, the opponent would not let him go.

The Star Dew Family of Cormanthor—he had some impression of them; there was a High Mage in that Elf family, an existence he could only look up to but never reach.

At this moment, Aipusi wished he had never come here, but as soon as this thought appeared, he erased it; things had reached this point, and he could only grit his teeth and carry on.

As long as there was no evidence, even a High Mage could not act recklessly in the human world!

He was not without backing either!

Now Aipusi could only pin his hopes on the Princess having enough deterrent power, or perhaps later using this Scepter to exchange for the Princess's protection.

It was just a pity about this Plane Crystal!

About 30 meters.

Aipusi stopped; at this distance, low-rank Spells might be able to hit the opponent, but he had already noticed the Protective Spell on the Elf; the opponent was not an existence that could be killed by a mere few low-rank Spells, and once the opponent escaped—

"So it has come to this after all!"

Just as Aipusi made up his mind to use his last resort, with a "click," the Amulet of Wisdom hanging around his neck shattered into two halves.

Aipusi was shocked and looked at the Elf, who turned and left immediately. With no time to consider how that Elf had broken through the "Balance Domain" to attack him, at this very moment, he had only one thought in his heart—

Cannot let him leave!

Almost subconsciously, Aipusi used his last resort!

Just at this time, in the northern Savile Territory.

Niya, who was presiding over the Midsummer Festival celebration activities at the entrance of the Temple of the Lord of Radiance, suddenly felt something. Ignoring the fact that countless citizens were watching her at this moment, she turned her head to look north.

Those who had the same action as her were all the Spellcasters present; they discovered that the Magic Net in the north was vibrating abnormally. The vibration was very intense and also very familiar to them—

It was the Mage Tower!

Almost all Spellcasters made such a judgment, and Niya even thought of her father who was exploring the Elven Mythallar; besides him, who else could control the Mage Tower like this!

Just as Niya was preparing to contact the Tower Spirit to ask about the situation, the square suddenly went quiet, and then suddenly erupted into even greater noise.

"It's gone!"

"The Mage Tower is gone!"

"The Mage Tower has disappeared!"

Although noisy and chaotic, it did not hinder Niya from distinguishing the information within it: the Mage Tower had disappeared?

Although the Mage Tower stood high in the northwest corner of the town, from Niya's position, the Temple blocked her line of sight; only the citizens in the square could be the first to discover that such a behemoth had suddenly disappeared!

Niya tried to contact the Tower Spirit, but the Tower Spirit did not respond at all.

Such a change suddenly occurred at the celebration scene, and there was already a riot in the square. Although Niya was very worried about her father at this moment, she had to deal with the sudden situation before her first.

"Everyone quiet!" Niya amplified her voice to drown out the noise in the square, "The Mage Tower is conducting a secret experiment; everyone maintain order, the celebration continues!"

Niya's reason could not convince everyone, especially the members of the Tower of Time, but at this moment, there was no other way besides believing.

And in order to stabilize order and people's hearts, Niya ordered all the Intermediate Mages present to fly above the square to deter the crowd.

The celebration continued, but the atmosphere was somewhat eerie. In the past few decades, there had never been a situation where the Mage Tower disappeared. Now, although Niya used the excuse of a secret experiment, there was always some suspicion in people's hearts.

Leaving a Phantom behind to preside, Niya and Aiboke went inside the Temple. Away from others, Aiboke could no longer hold back and asked:

"How come I don't know about any secret experiment? What exactly is Aipusi thinking! Where did the Mage Tower go?"

Looking at Aiboke, who was anxious and almost furious, Niya no longer hid it, "Uncle Aiboke, Xia Duo discovered a Mythallar ruin on his Territory, and Father has been there for almost ten days!"

"Mythallar ruin? Ten days?" The expression on Aiboke's face slowly calmed down, but the next moment his face changed drastically, "Not good!"

"Uncle Aiboke, what is not good?" Niya asked nervously.

"There's no time to explain, tell me quickly! Where is Xia Duo's Territory? Do you have a map?"

Niya was just about to say the map was in the Mage Tower, but Aiboke could no longer wait, "I roughly know where it is now; so the Magic Net fluctuation from just a moment ago came from there!"

In the next instant, Aiboke had already vanished.
