Chapter 942: Anomalies and Meteorites

By the lake, although Bailun and Zhenna were performing a Joint Casting, the role Zhenna was able to play could absolutely not be underestimated.

If Xia Duo were here and saw that incomparably complex Spell Source Point the two had woven together, he would certainly have no more doubts about Zhenna's status as a Great Arcanist.

At this moment, although the Spell Source Point between Bailun and Zhenna had not yet been fully activated, the Magic Net Strings gathered upon it were dense and numerous, already interfering with the real material world around them.

Wisps of energy turbulence actually appeared out of thin air, moving irregularly around the Spell Source Point; this was, of course, not a lack of control by the two Spellcasters, nor was it a deficiency in the spell structure.

Rather, it is that all things have gains and losses in their birth and destruction; while gathering vast energy, the balance of Magic Net energy is affected, and the corresponding balanced elements and energy will naturally manifest.

This is an anomaly that only occurs with spells involving the operation of vast energy!

Soon, the Spell Source Point was woven, and then it projected the true spell itself; a beam of light visible to the naked eye was seen shooting straight into the clouds, merging into the invisible.

In Magic Vision, this beam of light was even more of a winding convergence of Magic Net Strings, the projection path of the Spell Source Point, within which the energy was massive, triggering all sorts of energy anomalies.

……

Nearly a hundred kilometers away in Savile Town, Xia Duo had just described to Niya and Aiboke the various situations he had experienced in the Maihete Lake Mythallar, and had not even had time to mention the news that Master Bailun was about to destroy the Mythallar.

Suddenly, his Subconscious perceived wisps of abnormality coming from the northern Magic Net; after transferring this situation to his Conscious Mind, Xia Duo immediately thought of an experience he once had.

That memory was only two years in the past on the Main Plane, but for Xia Duo, who frequently entered and exited the Projection Plane, a full seven or eight years had already passed.

It was also fortunate that his Bloodline Awakening had granted him extraordinary memory, which allowed him to quickly recall the situation at that time even after so long!

At that time, Xia Duo was still a small Apprentice, required to participate in the war against the Orc Tide—not on the front lines, of course, but merely clearing out roaming Orcs in the Green Pearl Forest, with the assistance of the Territory soldiers.

The mission was not difficult, but he had been very nervous at the time.

That day was also a situation similar to today, only he did not have the ability he has now to observe the state of the surrounding Magic Net almost constantly; at that time, he was concentrating on Spellcasting and was exceptionally sensitive to the state of the Magic Net, which was how he discovered the intense Magic Net fluctuations from very far away.

Afterwards, Xia Duo was told that the disturbance was the destruction of the Orc nest at Wolf God Mountain in the south, and it was precisely because the Orc nest was destroyed and their main force was almost completely annihilated that there were fewer and fewer Orcs in the Green Pearl Forest area.

The fact that the development of Daxia Territory had almost never encountered Orcs was proof of this.

And now, the disturbance coming from the north was even greater than the one from Wolf God Mountain in the south two years ago; one must know that the distance from Wolf God Mountain to Savile Town was closer than the distance from Maihete Lake to Savile Town!

It was only about half the distance!

At nearly double the distance, yet it produced similar Magic Net fluctuations; although by the time it reached Savile Town and was perceived by Xia Duo, it was already minimal, mixed into the Magic Web Background Fluctuation, and would not be discovered by anyone who was not paying attention.

But its essence should be even more powerful than the one from two years ago!

……

Before Xia Duo could tell Niya and the others about this discovery, the visible anomaly appeared immediately after; only, the anomaly in the south two years ago was a strange red cloud, while now, a pillar of light reaching the sky appeared in the north.

"Niya, tell the soldiers that a Great Arcanist from Seventon is clearing the source of the Murloc Tide in the north. From now on, no matter what they see, tell them not to panic; that is a friendly spell, not the enemy's!"

It would have been fine for Xia Duo to say this himself, but by comparison, the words of Niya or Bishop Anbulier were more convincing.

As for Xia Duo himself, he continued to send a message back to Daxia Territory, notifying Laidun to reassure the residents; of course, he simply mentioned the Murloc Tide and such.

After all, the Murloc Tide was blocked here at Savile Town, and even if he said more, it would be hard for Laidun to understand without seeing it with his own eyes; the key was that a Great Arcanist was casting a spell—this reason alone was sufficient.

After doing this, the anomaly in the northern sky changed again; the original pillar of light disappeared, but immediately after, a meteorite visible to the naked eye, burning with flames, slowly took shape and then slowly descended.

Although it looked slow, Xia Duo knew that the speed must be extremely fast; it had dragged a long tail of flames almost from the position where it appeared and began to fall.

Subsequently, that long tail of flames grew longer and longer, almost tearing through half the sky, plunging straight toward the earth!

……

And nearby, as the Spellcasters themselves, Bailun and Zhenna could see far more than Xia Duo and the others who were nearly a hundred kilometers away, and they knew more as well.

The moment the giant meteorite appeared, they began to move away from Maihete Lake; such a powerful spell, once formed, would be difficult even for them, the subjects of the casting, to dissipate.

If they stayed where they were, did they want to see if the meteorite falling from the sky would recognize its creator?

However, Bailun and Zhenna did not leave too far; they just made preparations for Protection and waited with peace of mind, waiting for the interception of the Elf Guardian that might appear at any time.

The power of the meteorite attack was indeed peerless, but it needed time to fall back to the ground; only a target that could not move, like a Mythallar, could be attacked so leisurely.

But if the Mythallar had a Guardian, it might not be impossible to intercept or divert such an attack.

There was still some time before the meteorite fell back to the ground; Bailun, while remaining vigilant about the movements around them, chatted with Zhenna, "Do you think it's possible for the Elves to appear?"

"I don't think it's very likely. If they were going to appear, they would have appeared long before we cast the spell or even discovered the Mythallar, rather than waiting until this situation where it is extremely difficult to salvage!"

Bailun nodded; in fact, he also agreed with Zhenna's view in his heart. He had already had some guesses when he did not find any Elves in the Mythallar earlier.

Yet he did not expect that even now, in this situation, no mastermind had appeared; he even doubted whether this was still Cormanthor behind it.

Of course, this was just a marginal little thought that flashed through his mind; he was in extreme agreement with the judgment that the mastermind was Cormanthor.

……

Soon, the meteorite was lower and lower from the ground, and with it came a strong whistling sound that grew louder and louder, almost drowning out the voices of Bailun and Zhenna.

The two simply stopped chatting and just watched quietly as the giant meteorite, burning with flames, rushed into the green light of Maihete Lake at an unprecedented, unstoppable speed.
