Chapter 2329 - 107: Crow's Prophecy X_2

But right now she was his mother, a former Elementalist, someone somewhat outstanding — yet not quite a genius Practitioner with meticulous experience. It seemed like words written on flowing sands, detailing the years lost in a person's life, then passed through the mouth of those who have experienced it all, spoken to him.

He was silent for a moment, then changed his strategy, raising his hand and sending a shard of Ice Cone towards the direction of the lightning. From within the crowd, a scream immediately erupted.

"How is his casting speed faster?!"

Silent panic spread among the crowd; exchanging Magic Power for time is not an unusual strategy, but when applied to the casting rules taught by Kalatu, it created an effect where one plus one became more than two. It was quite normal that the panicked Priests wouldn't think of this quickly.

Moreover, what caused them greater panic was always actually something else: the Priests from Crow's Claw Sanctuary couldn't understand why they were facing such a situation — why was it a blank space? Beneath the stagnant Non-Attribute Magic Power, they seemed to see a Monster — by what means was that young man concealing his Magic Power?

But actually, the answer was simple —

Nothing more than Type-One Crystal.

Colorless Magic Power flowed silently beneath the complex Ether Sea, moving imperceptibly among everyone, like the first call of a new force amid long history. It merely brought back the gift born over seven hundred years ago from its dusty grave.

And that was supposed to be the original state of this world, Non-Attribute Magic Power, still magic.

Now, everything returns to its origins.

After having faced Elisa and Luo Yu, the mercenary ranks were in chaos, Crossbowmen struggling individually, while the Commander of Crow's Claw Sanctuary tried to retrieve his collapsing Practitioners, barely managing to summon a squad of Knights from the front line.

But before they could approach, arrows shot from buildings on the other side of the street caught them off guard, several of them falling. Miss Nightingale appeared from behind a window there, making a gesture:

"The battle plan has changed."

Luo Yu raised his head to look in that direction.

He saw Parker struggling to climb to the second floor, setting up a Heavy Crossbow on the balcony there —

"What's going on?" He mouthed to ask Elisa.

"Focus, Xiaoyu," his mother's serious voice came again from behind, "Block the battlefield —"

Miss Nightingale was about to speak, but a flash of Light had already covered Luo Yu's sight, and under the cover of Knights, the Priests from Crow's Claw Sanctuary seized their first chance to counterattack.

Luo Yu shifted his gaze over, but, unusually, he did not heed his mother's command, instead gently putting down his Magic Wand. Near and far, the Light flickering in the Priests' hands seemed to weave into a large net, and in the next moment, he would be swallowed by the surging Spells.

But Wizards, known as the Acting Agents of Magic, are often the first to sense movements 'on the water surface.' Luo Yu's eyes were serene; amidst this complex battlefield, he had already heard the 'voice' independent of each Spell.

Low, majestic, echoing beneath the sea of Magic Power, its stride like a Miracle.

That was not a power Wizards could reach; it must come from a more ancient legend.

Only slightly slower than Luo Yu, Luo Yu's mother suddenly stopped speaking. This former Elementalist turned to the street opposite that building, surprise reflecting in her eyes, "This is..." The Storm Clerics finally reacted, but their Spells had already left their hands.

Yet long Wings extended from the Shadows; at that moment, winding Lightning and Flames crashed against a wall of iron-like Feathers, scattered, turned into Ashes.

A Shadow swiftly extended along the streets' sides, rising from the swirling smoke to form shapes of Wings. Like spreading twin wings, it ascended from the underground, emerging from the Abyss, and the black Wings shielded everyone's sight, enveloping Luo Yu behind them.

Hilveld trained her gun on the Commander of Crow's Claw Sanctuary, eyeing the sight for a while before lowering her weapon. "Why not shoot?" Ai Xiaoxiao curiously asked her. Hilveld looked back at the puzzled young girl, giving a faint smile.

"Not the time yet."

"Not the time yet?"

Ai Xiaoxiao showed a look of surprise, about to ask when the time would be, but just then, a sharp cry suddenly sounded in the air, like countless voices converging, piercing through one's eardrums. Ai Xiaoxiao cried out, covering her ears.

Hilveld also turned her gaze towards that direction.

Below the inn, Xiesta appeared from behind carrying an unconscious Crow's Claw Knight, entering the hall before tossing him down with a 'bang.' The sudden sight startled everyone in the inn, as they looked at Miss Maid with her exaggerated Arm Armor, momentarily thinking:

Who is this?

Mei had already set down her Communication Crystal, turning back, softly saying to Miss Maid: "Xiesta, you came at the right time. I just received —"
