87 Dont Ask Me (1/2)

BAaam!!

A loud noise coming from an explosion was heard in Wallace's room direction. It was followed by sounds of falling debris which made the three escorts of Wallace worried.

On the other hand, the escorts of Jun and Sheryl from Mystic Gate had long grasp the situation and was only waiting for a chance. After all, they were only a group Battle Mages and won't do much help with the high end battle between the two Adepts.

After they heard the explosion near their rooms, they felt that it was time to go out and provide assistance.

They quickly ran out of their rooms and grouped together. They assesed the situation and saw four individuals in the hallway other than them. The female adept they had acquianted a while ago seems to be about to apprehend the cloaked intruder. They also noticed the other two suited escorts who were trying to open Wallace's room. It seems that there's something stopping them from barging in.

Yumi was still facing Mark and was trying to gain control of his movements but because of the sudden disturbance in Wallace's room, she wasn't able to completely succeed. She was worried that something would happen to the young student as she felt that there's another hostile Adept in the room where Wallace was sleeping.

”Two Adepts? You really think too highly of him, huh.” Yumi said as she felt the mana fluctuation of the other person in Wallace's room. She saw Lucian and Max who was about to enter the room but was stopped by an invisible force.

She noticed the others as well but couldn't be bothered about these newly arrived Mystic Gate associates.

She had already realized that their intelligence was so wrong when Mark appeared but she couldn't help but be frustrated at the current situation.

'Tsk. What are those people in Ministry doing?!' She couldn't help but blame the Ministry for not immediately sending out reinforcements here.

Due to her losing focus, Mark had a chance to free himself and was now slipping on her grasp as he slowly regained control of his body. His body turns blurry from time to time as if he was just an astral projection.

As he was about to succeed, a wave of warm and bright mana was felt by all the magicians rejuvenating their vigor. Unfortunately, for the cloaked individuals who intruded their place, extreme discomfort was felt as if it was trying to pierce their flesh.

It was obviously effective as Mark and the man in Wallace's room was stopped for a moment.

”Heaven's Treatment!” All the magicians in the building exclaimed as they recognize the wide range spell that gave them a form of blessing. It was a skill that only at the level of Troy Webb could cast. It was a highly complex magic skill that empowers all allies and even provides healing for the weak and injured. But for the enemies, it would feel like a curse that would try to eat their bodies.

Yumi was grateful for the help that Troy provided them as Mark and his companion seems to be taking time to remove the curse on their body. Of course, the curse being referred to was only a form of Mana trying to create a havoc within the magician's body. This gave Yumi a chance to enter the room forcefully and deal with Mark's companion.

”You two! Use this and bind Mark, he's weakened.” Yumi called Lucian and Max as she brought out two mana artifacts in a shape of a sphere. She then threw this artifact to them as she approached Wallace's room.

The duo didn't say a word but nodded in acknowledgement, they caught the orbs that was thrown and quickly moved to activate the spell within. As a Battle Mage, they have their own method in determining the ability of the mana artifacts they are holding.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The clank of chains was heard and caught everyone's attention except Yumi who slammed the door of Wallace's to save him. They couldn't afford to lose Wallace and after she used enough strength, the invisible force blocking the room was shattered. She felt Wallace's presence under the cover of the blanket then turned her head at the Adept who destroyed the room's wall to capture Wallace. She saw a middle aged man in a simple short and white shirt as if he was just a passerby.

She couldn't be bothered about his attire and think too deeply on why the student was still sleeping with all this incident happening.

But Wallace might have been affected by a calming or sleeping spell as Yumi could still sense the familiar life presence under the blanket.

Outside the room, the two orbs of mana artifacts continued to summon multiple chains to bind Mark after it received enough mana to activate it's magic spell.

”I recognized this artifact, to think that Yumi possessed something like this...” Max was awed upon activating the Magic Spell within.
