87 Dont Ask Me (2/2)
”Indeed, a one-time use mana artifact.” Lucian could only sigh in amazement upon realizing the mana artifact they've used. These one-time use mana artifacts, just like it's name, could only be used once and the artifact will be unusable or even disintegrate in some cases.
Although they were Battle Mages, it doesn't mean that they were rich. Some of the Battle Mages, like these two, relied on some organizations which they have to serve in a period of time in exchange of being promoted.
Even if the two doesn't have an ability to be promoted alone and have affliated with the NMTI, this allowed them to utilize more of their abilities and learn a lot. They recognized the value of many artifacts and the artifact they've just used was called Infinity Chains. One of these could apprehend multiple Adepts but they've been instructed to use two of them for a single weakened Adept. They weren't aware on what's going on Yumi's mind but they trusted her ability to lead.

Troy quickly rushed to the 14th floor upon realizing that there was another Adept attacking the place.
”Protect Erza and students. Don't slack!”
He let the other Adepts to protect the clustered students but as he left the group formed by their country's team, an attack from an unknown location barraged their students. This attack came from all direction but Troy managed to determine that the attacker uses the cover of the shadows to cast the spell. It was as if the enemy was manipulating the shadows.
'So, this is what I've sensed a while ago.' Troy said in his mind. Although he left the team, he had means to discern their situation and he presumed that the attacker was only buying time for the two Adepts on the upper floor.
Troy still stopped for a moment and released his peak Grade 3 Magic Spell - Heaven's Treatment. He used this spell also to buy himself a time as he was monitoring the situation in 14th floor.
'They should be able to handle this attack for now.' Troy thought as he decided to hurry in Yumi's location.

'Three! How come Adepts seems to be so common now?!' As a fellow Adept, Yumi's sense was extraordinary. She felt the special method of spell manipulation that has occurred in the lower floor but wasn't sure if the third attacker was really an Adept. But apparently, even after the appearance of the Heaven's Treatment, the barrage of shadow spells was still continuous.
This made Yumi sure that the attacker was another strong opponent. An Adept that was either outside of the building that is why they were unaffected of the Grade 3 Spell or really strong enough to be undetected and capable of defending against it.
Yumi casted a strong spell capable enough to pierce through the Mana Shell of an Adept and injure them. A spell capable of completely killing an Adept would likely take some time and the enemy may have a chance to counterattack once they removed the curse. So she opted for a quick skill.
”Hmph! You'll pay for your conceited thoughts.” Yumi was incensed in these intruder's attempt to deal with Wallace.
She formed a spinning fire arrow and lightning and the spell looks like it was made of lava with sparks of lightning revolving around it. Yumi then threw the spell to the intruder.
The middle aged man perceived the danger as he summoned all his strength to dodge the attack successfully.
Due to his wild control of Mana, the whole room was messed. The stones from the wall, broken glasses, clothes, furnitures, and other things within the room flew around. Including Wallace's blanket.
”...”
”...”
The two saw a pillow in exchange of Wallace's supposed location. They can still feel his presence like he was really there but what they see says otherwise. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
The middle aged man was dumbfounded and looked at Yumi as if asking what's happening but the latter seems to be confused as well.
