Magical Academy: Rise of the Supreme Magic Craftsman

"So you've been hiding there…"

The voice rang inside Wallace's head. It was the same painful but familiar voice coming from the Celestial Being!

"Sir Celestial… So you can still find me here?" Wallace asked since he knows that this vessel disrupts any form of detection coming from the outside. 

This means that the Celestial has probably entered the spaceship or it is just capable of bypassing the defenses that the Empire has made!

"Hmm… It took a while since something is blocking my powers but it can still be done. This very interesting, human… What kind of place are you in?"

The Celestial was surely curious about this Imperial Flagship. 

Anything that could restrict their powers is definitely something noteworthy. 

"I let myself be captured to investigate their place… and I guess I did the right thing…"

"Ho~ Are you talking about the huge creatures hiding inside?"

"Ahh… That's right… I've only detected one of them but how many of them have you detected?"

"There are four of them. They are as big as the Sea Kings under the sea."

"Four Space Beasts? They're really mad… Anyway… What's this Sea King you've mentioned?" Wallace asked curiously.

He knows about the Sea Creatures but the Sea King was something he had heard just now. 

'Is that a title given to the leader of the sea creatures?' He thought.

"You heard it right. They are huge creatures guarding this world's sea. Well, they are quite an interesting bunch. I wonder if the creatures near you are part of their family…"

The Celestial seems to be genuinely pondering so Wallace quickly replied.

"No, I don't think so Sir Celestial. Though they look like something that would come out of the sea, they are actually Space Beasts that roam the galaxy. Once they matured, I heard that they can even swallow a star…"

Wallace said though it is probably an exaggeration since there was no recorded incident that they truly swallowed one. 

Nevertheless, he's aware of how powerful they are even with their current state. 

"Sir Celestial, can you take care of them?"

"I can do so… However, they have a powerful being inside as well… Perhaps on par with a Celestial like me…"

"What, that powerful?! Maybe it is really another Celestial?"

"No, I don't think so. The being has a different form of energy. I can tell it's not similar to the Astral Core…"

The Celestial still sounded neutral. He doesn't have nervousness or excitement upon discovering the powerful being.

"I see… But I guess it's a good thing that there's only one of them…" Wallace still couldn't believe this but he made sure to act calm in the situation as well. 

"What are you planning to do now, Sir Celestial?" The young man added after noticing the silence of the Celestial. 

"I would like to meet this powerful being."

"I see… That would be great. Please take their attention while I'll do something about the Space Beasts…" Wallace replied since he's not too worried for the Celestial. If someone can truly kill this Being from the Empire, then perhaps, this planet is truly fated to be conquered.

The Celestial did as he said and appeared in front of the Imperial Flagship!

Boom!

A powerful aura covered the whole spaceship! Nevertheless, it only happened for a few moments before another aura collided with it!

It came from the being guarding the spaceship! Wallace was unsure who this being was but it is definitely not the Imperial Prince…

Aside from the Flagship, the surrounding spaceships were also hit by the powerful impact of the two auras. 

They are probably gauging each other's strength before they plan to attack...

'What now? If they truly fought here… Perhaps, the land and the spaceships would be destroyed as well…' Wallace mused as he waited for them to fight. Once it happened, he would probably have a chance to try and do something about the Space Beasts… 

If there's nothing he could do, he can only retreat and create a plan to kill the beasts later.

As Wallace waited for them to clash, he heard the voice of the Celestial Again.

"Hmm… The being is inviting me to fight somewhere else. They seem to be capable of manipulating the fabric of space. I will follow him in the distortion he made. He probably wanted to bring the fight elsewhere. I will leave you now. I don't think that you need my help there anyway."

The Celestial said before cutting off their connection. He didn't even wait for Wallace to reply.

'Sigh~ So it's like that, huh…'

Wallace wryly smiled after hearing the Celestial. 

Because of this, he decided to just continue investigating the structure of the Imperial Spaceship and memorizing them.

Thanks to his Divine Sense, this task wasn't impossible to make.

After three days had passed, Wallace realized that the Imperial Prince was truly just planning to wait until they have collected enough Memory Crystals!

Apparently, he found out that the collected crystals were going into a furnace creating a special liquid that is being given to the Imperial Soldiers to consume!

"So our guess isn't wrong… All the Soldiers who consumed started going out even without wearing their Bio-Armor…"

Wallace muttered after realizing this… The liquid was perhaps something similar to Inheritance Pill but even more effective.

"Well, I guess it's time to move out…" 

He wanted to kill the Space Beasts at first since they truly poses threat to the world's population.

However, they seem to be incapable of moving or they are unable to move at all due to the presence of mana. 

With this in mind, Wallace decided not to waste his time trying to kill them since he didn't even know if he could penetrate their skin.

This is when he detected the furnace or the device that allows the Imperial Soldiers to move freely in this world!

He needed to destroy that!

If he failed to do so, there would be a lot more trouble for all the magicians once they faced these soldiers. 

As soon as he made up his mind, Wallace stood up and placed his hands on the wall of his room…

"Traceless Oscillation…"
