Chapter 331: Surprise Attack (Part II)

He admitted that he had a gambling element in his actions, but failure would mean nothing more than trying again; he had already attempted to practice with the Tower Spirit while in the Shadow Plane, but it hadn't worked! This was actually equivalent to Xia Duo holding a remote control and pressing it repeatedly; as long as the distance was appropriate, the television (Tower of Time) would automatically respond.

However, considering that an excessive distance might drain the Tower of Time dry, Xia Duo waited until the Magic Net became clear before he began to summon it.

The facts were just as he had guessed; he had indeed arrived at the Main Plane!

A point of clear, bright spiritual light originated from the Time Tower Badge in Xia Duo's hand, spreading out and instantly enveloping this area! By the time Xia Duo's eyes could clearly see the surrounding scene, Bishop Anbulier had already rushed in one direction, holding his glowing hammer high.

And just as the Bishop charged, sacred radiance surged out from within his body, half of it condensing on the hammer, while the other half tightly guarded his own person.

Looking from behind, he appeared like a golden figure emitting infinite Holy Light, and Bishop Anbulier's specific image was vaguely visible.

Xia Duo quickly shifted his gaze in the direction of the Bishop's charge; he saw a familiar figure—Aquilain, who was currently standing up from his chair in a flustered manner, his face full of astonishment.

—"【Divine Might Deterrence】!"

Bishop Anbulier shouted the holy name of the Lord of Radiance, and a beam of Holy Light was instantly triggered, rushing straight toward Aquilain with an unstoppable, unavoidable momentum.

And after a moment of distraction, Aquilain had completely fallen into a disadvantageous position.

However, Bishop Anbulier's charging figure did not head toward Aquilain, but instead rushed toward a large tree beside the chair.

But at this moment, this large tree had long since been shaped by Aquilain into a treehouse; the tall tree trunk was a section shorter out of thin air, and the reason for that shortness was at the height of half a person, where the trunk expanded into a fairly exquisite wooden house.

Xia Duo was feeling somewhat puzzled as to why Bishop Anbulier was not charging at Aquilain, but instead going for a wooden house.

He suddenly discovered that a trace of discord had appeared in the Magic Net at the wooden house, which then intensified into chaos, and a figure appeared out of thin air—it was actually another Aquilain.

At this moment, he did not have the flustered appearance of the previous one, but was calm-faced, holding a Scepter in his hand, his gaze flickering and moving constantly among the three of them.

It finally landed on Aiboke.

However, this was only for an instant; facing Bishop Anbulier, who was charging fiercely at him, Aquilain did not show the slightest movement, a flash of spiritual light appeared on his body, and he immediately dodged toward the back of the wooden house.

At the same time, Xia Duo saw the spiritual light on the opponent's body flashing or extinguishing, and his movements were either fast or slow, just like a cartoon that was already not very smooth becoming even more stuttered! At this point, this law enforcement operation was already without suspense.

—【Divine Might Binding】! Bishop Anbulier shouted the holy name of the Lord of Radiance and had already rushed to Aquilain's close proximity; at this moment, Aquilain no longer moved.

Facing Bishop Anbulier's large hammer, he was finally unable to remain calm; whether he had cast some peculiar Magic or it was truly a critical moment, he shouted in a sharp voice that far exceeded normal speaking speed:

"The lord of Hawk Territory is my uncle! He is about to become a Great Arcanist!"

Just after saying this, Aquilain's mood dropped completely; looking strictly at the ethics, Lord Duolaisen could indeed be called his uncle, but the connection between the two branches was not close.

The most critical thing was that their ages were not much different, and Aquilain had always harbored jealousy toward Lord Duolaisen, so even when meeting in private, he never called him uncle to try to get closer, but instead used more formal titles to disguise himself.

The "uncle" he had just blurted out was truly something his self-esteem could not accept! However, this statement seemed quite deterrent; that golden, shining large hammer stopped decisively in front of him after he said those words.

But even though he stopped the hammer, Bishop Anbulier could not possibly let him go just like that; a large amount of radiance spread down from the hammer and wrapped around Aquilain.

And Aquilain did not stop it either.

As for Xia Duo's side, Aiboke still did not relax his vigilance when he heard the opponent's shout, continuing to dismantle the opponent's Spell while slowly approaching.

Aquilain had not truly surrendered! It was not until his whole body was covered by a layer of golden light that he quieted down, but even so, Aiboke still continued to apply several layers of Binding.

After doing all this, he looked at Xia Duo and said with some hesitation: "This matter still needs to be handled with caution!"

Xia Duo nodded; he had not intended to kill the opponent in the first place, but now that it involved some uncle-nephew relationship, or some uncle who was about to become a Great Arcanist.

It made him somewhat surprised, and also gave him a headache.

However, these things were ultimately not too far beyond his expectations.

Arriving in front of Aquilain, Xia Duo took the "Arrest Warrant" he had prepared in advance from his Personal Space, showed it to him first, and then read:

"Aquilain, you trespassed into Daxia Pioneering Territory and destroyed Territory facilities without authorization. I now sentence you in my capacity as the lord of Daxia Territory. According to the Pioneering Contract of Her Highness the Princess, you are sentenced to ten years of imprisonment. Do you have any objections?"

Aquilain was bound by Magic and his whole body could not move; only the pupils of his eyes were constantly contracting and expanding, but it was to no avail.

And Xia Duo continued the sentencing, "Since there are no objections, I sentence you to be imprisoned immediately!"

This Judgment seemed like child's play, but it was actually just a means to delay time; rashly killing an Arcanist, even the Arcane Union would intervene.

Not to mention the quasi-Great Arcanist uncle that Aquilain had just mentioned.

Ten years seemed like a long time, but as long as one was not killed, it was not easy to provoke a strong reaction.

Moreover, Xia Duo's goal was not really to imprison him for ten years; imprisoning an Arcanist was in itself a high-energy-consuming act.

In order to save energy, Xia Duo's real goal was actually to let him redeem himself; of course, now perhaps it should be to let his uncle—that quasi-Great Arcanist Lord—redeem him.

After the sentencing ended, Xia Duo first had Aiboke check the wooden house, and then brought Aquilain back to the Tower of Time.

It was not until he sent Aquilain into the dedicated Restraint Room that Xia Duo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Recalling the entire law enforcement process, more time was spent on the preliminary preparations; once the surprise attack began, everything was almost a foregone conclusion.

Unless there was some truly powerful trump card, it would be very difficult to turn the situation around; fortunately, no such accident occurred this time.

And he himself seemed to have just gone to watch, but if he hadn't guided the Tower of Time to cast the Forbidden Spell, even with just Aiboke and Bishop Anbulier, even if they could defeat Aquilain, they would not have been able to capture him.
