Chapter 208: Chapter 195: The Dissipation of the Lost Fog [Extra for Alliance Leader dsf23dd]
The chaos in Greenrill City lasted for three whole days before it barely subsided.
It was inevitable, as the range of the “Doomsday Domain—Descent of the Divine Kingdom” was simply too extensive. Although it had not yet reached its limit, it had already enveloped a good portion of Greenrill City. Furthermore, the news of the legendary Wizard Fayez’s death caused even more panic throughout Wizard City.
Fortunately, the return of Harrov and others stabilized the situation in Greenrill. The instigator, August, had been locked up in the magic core, preventing the situation from worsening further.
On the evening of the third day, a eting reconvened amidst the ruined Corona Tower in the Sky Realm.
By the ti Lynn arrived, the eting room was already full. To his surprise, Luo’er was also present, looking sowhat dazed. At that mont, he sat silently to one side with manacles on his wrists that restricted his magic power.
As August’s disciple, Luo’er luckily avoided the direct impacts of the conflict in the Corona Tower, but his extrely awkward position ant that he was detained imdiately upon being rescued.
After three full days of interrogation, mory retrieval, and various other thods, Luo’er’s spirit was clearly at its limit. However, the more fatal blow was from the revelation of August’s true identity…
Unlike the insiders like Lynn, most of the council mbers were still unclear about the whole affair, so upon seeing the heads of the council enter, they eagerly began asking questions.
“Council Head Harrov, what on earth is happening?” “Did Master Fayez really get killed?”
“I refuse to believe that Master August did this, it must be a mistake… How could that star of magic ever do such a thing…”
The eting room was filled with noise and clamor. Whether it was the news of the legendary Wizard’s death or the Doomsday Domain that nearly spread to the entire Greenrill City, everyone’s capacity to absorb the shock was being severely tested.
Moreover, the news that the alleged mastermind behind everything was none other than August, known as the star of magic, was even harder to believe!
“Everyone, please calm down!” Harrov’s grave voice echoed in the council hall,
“The situation is far more complicated than you imagine, and it is also a severe oversight on my part. According to Luo’er, the current star of magic, August, is probably no longer the person you think he is.”
Harrov’s words left the attending council mbers confused, prompting them to ask,”What do you an, Council Head?”
Without offering further explanation, Harrov turned his gaze to Luo’er, as letting August’s disciple speak for himself seed more credible.
Under the scrutiny of scornful and perplexed gazes, Luo’er gradually began to explain, leaving nothing out, whether it was the docunts they had previously found or his conversation with ‘August’ in the main control room. After all, his mories had been examined, and he couldn’t conceal anything.
“Master August is actually the Evil Mage rck?” Tic was inexpressibly shocked. He simply couldn’t believe that the star of magic from Wizard Land, who was daily polite and highly esteed, could be rck, the cruel practitioner of Spiritual Magic who had massacred thousands.
“But wasn’t rck supposed to have died long ago?” a council mber asked in confusion. After all, the council had dispatched three grand wizards to exterminate the Spiritual Magic sect, mobilizing over a hundred people in total, many of whom had witnessed the opponent’s death!
“That was just a ruse by the teacher… no, rck had planned long ago to fake his death and escape,” Luo’er answered, explaining that the enemy’s goal was to harvest enough souls and then assu a new identity to join the council under a different appearance.
The attendees were all imrsed in the shock of this revelation.
Lynn didn’t find it surprising, having already deduced the rough course of events after consecutive encounters with Kahimo and rck.
rck must have intentionally made it so easy for Helram to find the materials of the Spiritual Magic school in the first place.
No wonder, after receiving Tic’s ssage, this Star of Magic volunteered to petition the council to co to Yiyeta Harbor, likely to retrieve the other party’s research results.
“And what about Audessa, isn’t he Lord Fayez’s disciple? But I seem to have heard rck call him Kahimo before? What exactly is their relationship?” Rafael was utterly confused.
Luo’er hesitated for a mont and then shook his head, admitting his ignorance.
“The Audessa you saw is Kahimo, who was once rck’s right-hand man. Clearly, they played the sa trick…” Harrov sighed, as before leaving he had instructed ‘August’ to send more people to protect Fayez, which clearly backfired.
Harrov felt extrely guilty for the death of his old friend, thinking that if he had taken that doomsday cult more seriously, matters might not have escalated to this point.
After a pause, Harrov continued with a grave expression, “If I’m not mistaken, Kahimo is probably from the Church!”
The Church?
Rafael and the others couldn’t help but pause; to them, wizards, the Church was both a familiar and a strange entity.
Apart from Lynn, none of the council mbers present had had any interactions with the Church, but they were very clear that the existence of Wizard Land was to resist the Church’s invasion.
It was as if a herd of shivering sheep had confined themselves within fences to ward off the wolves outside, seeking constant tranquility.
This could only be described as humiliating. They had all felt this way in the past, even quietly resenting the council leaders’ cowardice and timidity. However, this incident with the doomsday cult allowed them for the first ti to directly grasp the threat posed by the Church.
A shadow couldn’t help but cloud their minds…
“Might I ask, Lord Councilors, what is the true purpose of Kahimo?” Lynn, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.
Three days ago, the mory of Kahimo’s ferocious smile when the Corona Tower was attacked was still fresh in Lynn’s mind.
Surely such a grand display wasn’t simply to cause so damage, was it?
“It’s likely to dispel the legendary spell ‘Lost Fog’.” Vittorio was the first to explain.
Upon hearing this, everyone present imdiately beca tense, as ‘Lost Fog’ was undeniably the most crucial barrier, covering the entire sea surface and separating Wizard Land from the Sekas Empire.
If that magic were dispelled, it would an the Church could launch an attack on them at any ti.
