On the third afternoon following the war in the capital, airships carrying soldiers and wizards slowly ascended, heading to various parts of the kingdom to carry out decapitation missions.
Three of these ships were headed towards the transit points between the Kingdom of Hadralata and the Seccas Empire, monitoring the enemy's movents. Once signs of troop gathering beyond the borders were spotted, imdiate reports were to be made!
Among them were Raydell, Ham, and others boarding a different airship, destined for Iyeta.
As the new lord of the southern territories of the kingdom, Raydell was clueless about territory developnt and the resettlent of the impoverished. This journey to Iyeta aid to explore new avenues for those freed from the shackles of mining slavery, offering a fresh start.
Accompanying them were the Grand Wizard Anthony and others.
While most of the wizards from the academy were dispatched to assist in the decapitation missions, core disciples like Flora remained by Anthony's side. His visit to Iyeta intended to personally et Lord Lynn Maxwell and attend this year's academic symposium, upon invitation.
Despite the impending war with the Empire, the assembly of troops and preparation of war supplies would take ti. Even if the Church acted swiftly, the war wouldn't arrive here by tomorrow.
Their estimate suggested a minimum of half a month for preparations. Information regarding firearms and cannons was likely to leak. Relying on these technological weapons again for overwhelming superiority wouldn't be an easy task.
Fortunately, this ti Lynn didn't plan to shoulder the burden alone. Without the council's support, winning this war would be difficult.
The influence of the Holy See was imnse, and the Empire's territory was several tis larger than the kingdom's. Figures like Archbishop Anluke numbered in the dozens, not to ntion high-ranking individuals like the Pope and Chief Justice, whose strengths were unknown.
But before the arrival of Anthony and his companions, Lynn intended to do sothing incredibly important: break through to beco a Grand Wizard!
He had been waiting for this day for a long ti, which arrived faster than anticipated thanks to Lynn's continuous practice of Advanced Material Deconstruction through ntal connections with the BrainSphere. This was the core technique for fourth-tier wizards and the ultimate thod for strengthening ntal power.
The ti for the breakthrough had co!
"Dean, are you ready to break through now?" Professor Kevin, receiving this news, was startled, even more nervous than Lynn himself.
The hope of the entire Iyeta Academy rested on Lynn. They couldn't help but be concerned.
A Grand Wizard was incredibly crucial for any academy. It often represented the prosperity or decline of the entire wizarding faction and ensured power and influence.
"But is this too soon? Shouldn't we wait a few more days?" After the initial joy, Kevin hesitated. The breakthrough to Grand Wizard ca with considerable risks. Failure could result in a prolonged period of ntal fatigue at best or, at worst, the risk of ntal breakdown.
"It has to be today, no more preparation is needed!" Lynn asserted confidently.
He needed more powerful abilities now.
During the battle to take over the capital, he relied largely on external forces to defeat the Archbishop. Relying solely on his own strength might not even grant him the qualification to stand before the opponent.
That wasn't ideal. No matter how much preparation one had, there was always room for miscalculation. One's own strength was the fundantal safeguard.
Lynn postponed his duties as dean, leading Kevin and others to the Tower of Whistling, the heart of Iyeta Harbor!
Previously used by Herlram to set up the Soul Devouring Formation covering the entire southern district, the Tower had been transford into a place to store essential supplies.
At the underground level, where nurous magic crystals were stored, Grand Alchemist Dennis focused on drawing a massive Alchemical Formation.
This Alchemical Formation, nad "Elental Sight," assisted formal wizards in breaking through to beco Grand Wizards. It provided an imnsely magical environnt and briefly allowed those inside to see the elental world visible only to Grand Wizards.
The creator of this formation was the "Elental Controller" Althok. Before this, breaking through to beco a Grand Wizard required consuming a potent magic potion called "Cynthia's Moonlight," which increased the drinker's ntal power limit within an hour, enabling a third-tier wizard to surpass their limits.
However, due to the potion's severe side effects, it was banned seventy years ago.
Dennis explained the precautions for breaking through to Lynn in a solemn manner. Both the Alchemical Formation and the potion were rely auxiliary ans.
Becoming a Grand Wizard didn't have any shortcuts. Otherwise, among the thousands of formal wizards in the wizarding world, there wouldn't be just a re thirty Grand Wizards.
Lynn listened attentively. Confidence was one thing, but it didn't equate to recklessness.
"Let's begin!" Lynn took a deep breath, adjusting himself to perfection before walking to the center of the Alchemical Formation.
Hum. A faint sound of magical surges suddenly echoed. The alchemical patterns on the ground lit up, quickly engulfing the lower levels of the Tower of Whistling in a blue fluorescent glow.
"By the way, Lord Lynn, you're only around twenty this year, right?" Dennis suddenly inquired.
"Well... I'm not sure, but two years ago, when Dean Lynn arrived, he shouldn't have been older than twenty," Kevin hesitated and replied.
"If this breakthrough succeeds, it'll be another record!" Dennis remarked, feeling rather moved. A Grand Wizard at barely twenty-two years old wasn't rely describable as a genius.
Previously, this record was held by Aughast, the Magic Star, but his authenticity had been proven false. When he broke through to beco a Grand Wizard, he was already over forty, which was considered fast...
As the Alchemical Formation operated, a massive amount of magic was drawn from the magic crystals, continuously converging towards the center of the formation, showing no signs of stopping.
Seeing this, Dennis furrowed his brow.
"Master, is there an issue?" Kevin hastily inquired. The assembled wizards at the Tower of Whistling wore tense expressions.
"So much magic is required..." Dennis muttered softly. Although he wasn't controlling the formation now—Lynn was at the center—yet all one hundred magic crystals they had prepared were drained, and the formation showed no signs of halting.
