Chapter 232: A Gathering of Thousands of Arcane Teams! Onto the Mission! (2/2)
“I was with a large group of people when we got the news. Chris went back to gather up everyone else while I made my way over first,” Ayrin explained.
“So these two are Ciaran and Minlur of the old Holy Dawn Evil Six?”
Upon discovering the identities of these two people, Morgan, Audrey, and the others were filled with respect.
“What is it? There’s nothing to be scared of. Teacher Ciaran and Teacher Minlur are both very nice people,” Ayrin quickly stated as he saw their somewhat abnormal behvaiors.
“Yes, very nice. Very nice… but in the past, their team was considered the strongest academy team in the entire Kingdom of Eiche. How can we treat them like ordinary people?” Morgan inwardly said to himself while looking at Ayrin.
“Even Ciaran and Minlur have come. It seems like the mission is indeed about to start,” Ferguillo thought to himself at this moment as he looked at the ground.
……
“The mission has really been pushed forward?”
“So many arcane teams!”
By the time Carter and Rui arrived at the square before the Sacred Tower with Stingham, Rinloran, and the rest of Holy Dawn Academy’s team, there were already over a thousand teams gathered.
The square teemed with arcane masters as the air became filled with various strong and colorful auras… the terrifying scale of the situation everyone to inwardly tremble.
“Chris, we are over here!”
“Teacher Rui came as well?”
The sound of Ayrin’s voice rang over form the midst of a group of people.
Chris and the others immediately made their way over to Ayrin.
“Who’s this fellow?”
At this moment, Ayrin noticed someone he didn’t recognized amongst the Holy Dawn Academy team members. A dim, twilight-esque glow flickered across the mask covering the person’s seemingly handsome face.
“Haha, how is it? Am I not handsome?!”
The unrecognizable person immediately put their hands on their hips and laughed strangely.
“Stingham?” Ayrin froze.
By this time, pretty much everyone had accepted that the mission had been pushed forward. Now, they were just waiting for the news which followed.
“Such a large group. We must have discovered the main campsite of the Evil Dragon Followers and are about to strike a big blow!”
“To have over a thousand arcane teams cooperate for a single mission, this hasn’t been seen for almost a hundred years!”
“I wonder where the Evil Dragon Followers’ main campsite is…”
“For this many arcane teams to be taking part, the strength of the Evil Dragon Followers must be greater than we had thought.”
Amidst all of the chaotic chattering, more arcane teams slowly arrived.
The number of arcane teams which had gathered by the Sacred Tower now already exceeded two thousand.
Even more shocking was that there was a large number of elite teams which had been called back from various Corps. There were also many unknown arcane masters with mysterious backgrounds whose bodies released extremely powerful auras.
“Can everyone please quiet down.”
A voice suddenly rang out from atop the Sacred Tower.
The images of ten figures emerged atop the terrace in the middle section of the Sacred Tower.
The entire square instantly became silent.
Ayrin raised his head and looked up.
“They should all be some extremely powerful figures?”
Besides the lord chief advisor, Angil, who had conducted the opening ceremony of the national tournament, there were several people who he had never seen before.
“To those who have accepted the invitations and gathered here, I’m sure you all have already guessed…”
A wizened voice rang out.
“It’s Gatling!”
Many of the people atop the square collectively gasped.
“He’s the legendary arcane master of the Kingdom of Eiche, the creator of the Shackles of Starlight Domain, Gatling?”
Ayrin’s eyes widened as he observed the image of an old person wearing a white robe.
Gatling was listed as a legendary arcane master on the arcane skill textbooks of many academies. Not only was he a powerful battlemaster, he was also a Draconic Scholar. After analysing countless unique skills, he had created his own famous skill, the Shackles of Starlight Domain.
As long as it was night and there were stars in the sky, Gatling’s Shackles of Starlight Domain would twine starlight to create shackles. With this single skill, he could simultaneously restrict six arcane masters. This domain was considered second only to ancient Brambles Halo combination of Giants.
“Your predictions are all correct, we have discovered the location of the Evil Dragon Followers’ main campsite!”
The wizened voice contained endless appeal as everyone abruptly held their breaths and felt their blood begin to boil.
“The wheels of war, they are already turning!”
