Chapter 1228: 391. Magic Propulsion
“What were you five doing? Why did you leave the battlefield?”
Tarsali’s voice bood in the minds of every tal System Wizard, pointedly directed at the five who had just returned to the scene.
The five wizards trembled in fear, their hearts pounding as the others around them, unconcerned with their plight, looked on with schadenfreude.
If they could have captured the Earth Vein Wizards who fled the battlefield, these five would now be feeling very confident.
But unfortunately, not only had they left the battlefield without authorization, but they had also let the weak Earth Vein Wizards escape.
All because of so inexplicable shell that appeared on the scene, an object that bafflingly used kinetic shocks as its killing chanism.
...
Now facing Tarsali’s interrogation, the five looked at one another, and eventually, they all lowered their heads, not daring to boast.
Tarsali was furious, venting all his rage about the stolen Anti-Demon Material on the group of five.
Their tallic bodies were torn apart by trendous strength, twisted into strips, turned into countless tal threads, and then fused into a ball that beca a tangled ss.
A compressive force, far mightier than any hydraulic press, bore down upon the ball composed of the five tal System Wizards.
As the five were about to be flattened into a sheet of iron, one of the wizards blurted out in desperation,
“My lord! We went chasing after a few Earth Vein Wizards! We could have apprehended them, but sohow our casting state was interrupted! Please forgive us, my lord, we only wanted to capture those who had fled the battlefield!”
Tarsali was in the throes of anger.
He was about to scorn the wizards for their excuses when he suddenly stopped squeezing the tallic mass and asked,
“What did you say? Soone interrupted your casting?”
“Yes, my lord! We didn’t even see where the enemy was when we were shot through the chest with Non-tallic Shells, forcing us to end ‘tallic Torrent.’ Those Earth Vein Wizards, who were not stronger than the Five Rings, would never have escaped from us otherwise!”
The tal System Wizard loudly defended himself, and his companions echoed his protestations, each taking a turn to recount their experiences.
When Tarsali heard that the fleeing Earth Vein Wizards were less powerful than Five Rings, and that they were aided by a mysterious helper, he imdiately linked the thieves with these Earth Vein Wizards.
Considering the mysterious person had the skill to break through the Nine Rings tal Spell ‘tallic Torrent,’ why had they not rescued the higher-level wizards at the subway entrance instead of saving those lowly, weaker ones?
Clearly, rescuing higher-level wizards would be more cost-effective, right?
After freeing the high-level wizards, rescuing the lower-level ones should have been a piece of cake.
The only factor that could have made the mysterious person abandon the high-level wizards in favor of the lesser ones had to be only one possibility: “The low-level wizards were carrying treasures!”
An idea clicked in Tarsali’s mind in that mont.
He grunted heavily, released the great force applied to the five tal System Wizards, and ticulously inquired about the entire incident.
The five tal System Wizards confessed everything, not daring to hide any details.
They emphasized two points.
First, when the mysterious person broke the tallic barrier and created an escape route for the Earth Vein Wizards, they had no sensation of the barrier being damaged—which was incredibly astonishing for tal System Wizards, who relied on sensing tal to make a living.
Second, the mysterious person had fired the Non-tallic Shells without any sign. The tal System Wizards only realized they had been attacked when the shells hit their bodies.
Putting these two doubts together, Tarsali and the tal System Wizards ca to the sa conclusion:
The enemy lurking in the shadows was incredibly skilled at concealing themselves.
The fact that this person chose to use non-tallic ore to make shells also proved they knew their opponents were tal System Wizards and the tal Ancestor Dragon, adept at controlling tallic entities.
By deducing this far, Tarsali was certain of his conclusion.
He asked the five tal System Wizards to present the Non-tallic Powder they found at the scene.
He designated a few high-level tal System Wizards to imdiately investigate the source of this Non-tallic Powder and to conduct a thorough investigation into the fleeing Earth Vein Wizards.
Unbeknownst to them, Noland’s act of firing the non-tallic shells to rescue Morster not only saved the latter’s life but also inadvertently let him take part of the bla, easing so of the pressure from the tal Ancestor Dragon.
One could say this was the play of destiny…
After issuing the orders, Tarsali turned his attention to the wizards trapped in the underground space.
They were completely blocked underground, with tallic Giant Apes, tal System Wizards, and Death Steel Soldiers guarding near the subway entrance, and the roads inside the subway tracks sealed off with tal walls and Transparent Barriers.
Tarsali originally planned to use the Anti-Demon Material and the Undead Ceremony to turn all these wizards into Undead Spirits made out of tal for his own purposes.
Now, without the Anti-Demon Material, this sche seed to be put on hold.
Tarsali humd in frustration, ordered soone to inform the Undead Cult, and decided to first transform the wizards into Undead beings before preparing new Anti-Demon Material.
However, Tarsali’s plans were destined to fail.
At that mont, Morster had reached the Pollution Zone and imdiately opened a Teleportation Gate to the capital of Ulnas Circle, promptly reporting the events within the Pollution Zone to his ntor.
