Chapter 880: Restoring the Magic Net

Although he felt somewhat apprehensive, this did not hinder Xia Duo from observing the spellcasting details of the Great Arcanist at close range; if he could discern something from a group Teleportation Spell above the 7th circle, it would count as no small gain.

Very quickly, the surrounding space appeared slightly blurred, and by the time it turned clear again, the environment had already changed.

"A bit off, the Mythallar Node is to the south, follow me!"

Saying this, Hadelaien took the lead and walked forward, with Xia Duo and the others quickly following behind.

The arrival of several humans seemed to trigger a chain reaction in the riotous Magic Net, with random spells appearing one after another around the group, charging directly at them by following some sort of connection.

Fortunately, this Mythallar had not yet been truly completed; the riot before their eyes was less of a riot and more of a large-scale, intense fluctuation caused by damage to the Magic Net at the Mythallar Node's location.

Unlike a true Mythallar collapse where almost all the Magic Net within the Mythallar's coverage is damaged—that would be a real riot.

Therefore, the random spells triggered manifested more as leaks of Magic Net energy, appearing in the form of materialized elements and energy.

Such as suddenly appearing water currents, fireballs, light, etc., which were basically difficult to affect the group through Protection spells.

After observing, Xia Duo discovered that the situation here was somewhat similar to the outskirts of the Mythallar Ruins, only the situation here was a bit special.

The outskirts of a general Mythallar Ruins refer to the area closest to the damaged region but outside of it.

Riot phenomena might only appear there during the initial stage of a Mythallar collapse, but they would soon be balanced out by the normal Magic Net environment further away and in a larger range.

It would not appear as it did here, with continuous and gradually intensifying Magic Net fluctuations.

Regarding this, Great Arcanist Hadelaien did not explain, but Xia Duo guessed that this was very likely done intentionally by the Elves.

Specifically, it might be that the Elves saw the Mythallar clearly could not be built, so they simply used the parts that were already completed or the remains after the Nodes were destroyed to carry out a final attack.

……

Upon reaching the location of the Node, Xia Duo could hardly recognize what it looked like before; if they were at the position where they had just arrived via teleportation, even if those trees were attacked by random spells, one could still see a trace of their original appearance.

But here, within a radius of more than ten meters, the space seemed to be twisted, and one could not see the scene on the other side from this side at all.

Seeing this scene, a solemn expression finally appeared on Hadelaien's face, "Do not rush to unfold your Arcane Fire yet; wait for me to bind the Magic Net, then you proceed with the repairs!"

Xia Duo and the others nodded silently and dispersed around the Node's location.

In fact, there was no need for Hadelaien to remind them; before teleporting, Xia Duo had already disconnected his Arcane Fire from the Magic Net.

Afterward, he even kept the curled and retracted Arcane Fire source circulating only internally to avoid interference from the external environment as much as possible, and upon seeing the nearly insane Magic Net environment here, he would be even less likely to rashly unfold his Arcane Fire.

"Prepare! Unfold Arcane Fire! First, comb through the energy!"

Soon, a slightly distorted voice came from within the ten-meter range where the Node was located; listening carefully, it was not hard to tell it was Hadelaien, who had just entered there.

But even so, Xia Duo still hesitated for a moment, as did the others, but only after confirming that the surrounding Magic Net had received some kind of powerful restraint did he cautiously unfold his Arcane Fire.

First, link the Magic Net Strings related to the Four Elemental Planes and the Positive and Negative Energy Planes, and guide the energy to circulate within the Arcane Fire.

During this process, Arcane Energy was continuously generated from the Arcane Fire; although not as much as the output in a normal environment, it at least counted as a small consolation.

If repairing the Magic Net required Arcanists to pay out of their own pockets for Arcane Energy, that would be too miserable!

Soon, after establishing a stable Energy Circulation, Xia Duo gradually unfolded the Arcane Fire into a more open form; if it were in a normal Mythallar Ruins, one would have to start from the edge of the damaged Magic Net.

With the normal Magic Net environment on the outskirts as a pillar, one would gradually "nibble away" at the damaged internal area; in this situation, the Arcane Fire could be unfolded into a Micro Magic Net.

But here, it was clear that the surrounding Magic Net environment was always active and lacked a stable pillar; even with Great Arcanist Hadelaien applying restraints to the Magic Net, Xia Duo still did not dare to fully unfold his Arcane Fire.

And the others, even without communication, all made the same choice by coincidence.

Gradually, the Magic Net in the small area around the seven of them, including Xia Duo, slowly calmed down, but at this time, Hadelaien's binding on the Magic Net also began to gradually weaken.

Every time the group combed through a bit, Hadelaien would release some of the binding; just like this, starting from combing through the energy, Xia Duo and the others gradually adapted to the rhythm of the entire repair process.

……

And on the other side, Huo En and Badijiaer were also repairing the Magic Net damage at the location of the Elven Mythallar Node.

Unlike Hadelaien, who brought seven Arcanists to work together, Huo En and Badijiaer had a much harder time; not only did they have to suppress the Magic Net riot themselves, but they also had to unfold their own Arcane Fire to perform repairs while suppressing it.

"Damn long-ears! Once I return to the Main Plane, I will definitely make you pay the price you deserve!"

Badijiaer's face was gloomy, and his furious emotions almost affected his normal spellcasting, which in turn intensified his anger.

After all, he was the Great Arcanist most skilled in combat among the Seven Towers; in terms of spellcasting technique, Badijiaer had achieved near perfection, and even in a state of extreme anger, he could still maintain an impressive spellcasting state.

And as the repairs progressed bit by bit, Badijiaer also gradually calmed down during the process, but he did not forget his anger; instead, he transformed the anger into a deeper hatred, burying it in the bottom of his heart.

He looked forward to a battle with Cormanthor, a battle with the Elves; when that time came, he would definitely let that group of long-ears know what human wrath was!

……

The long repair process lasted until the afternoon of the second day, when the damaged Magic Net near the twenty-plus destroyed Mythallar Nodes left behind by the Elves was finally able to barely stabilize.

It stabilized without the need for additional assistance.

The 【Trace-less Barrier】 was ultimately not seriously affected, though it still awaited further subsequent repairs.

After returning to the camp, Badijiaer saw the weary-looking Princess Xiya, who had first spent a great deal of energy weaving the 【Mythallar · Trace-less Barrier】, and later had not rested for a day and a night to stabilize the 【Trace-less Barrier】.

"Princess, you have worked hard!"

"No need to say such things; the Green Field Plane is also a resource of the Seven Towers, how could I let it be easily destroyed!"

Xiya waved her hand and walked toward her room, "Go and rest first; we are in our weakest state right now!"

Badijiaer nodded, watched Princess Xiya leave, and then returned to his own room.
