89 Looking for Avalon Part 2 (1/2)
The cloak ability of the armor alters its outer surface through the use of a crystalline formation. During the activation of this function, the armor is capable of fully absorbing or bending incoming wave spectrums such as visible light, radiowaves, infrared or thermal imaging, and possibly microwaves or others, to render itself completely invisible to the human eye and most surveillance equipment. Of course, Wallace also enhanced this technological equipment so that it could bypass most mana detection spells.
Looking on the outside, the armor was enveloped within a clear ”shimmer” as light was bent around the suit causing invisibility. There is, however, a slight distortion which can be noticed by the human eye during it's motion. Additionally, this mode also increases the users speed slightly, but not as much as it's other function of 'burst speed mode'.
Wallace had to travel from Bluefields City to Araceli Island Group where his spaceship was suspected to have descended. He had to pass several large cities like Linshamn City and Vummerberg opposite the capital's direction in the west coast of the country.
It was still dark and Wallace took it as his chance to move.
The Float Drive System activated and brought Wallace up in the air. Based on his estimation, it would take about a couple of hours to arrive at his next destination.

In a building within the Bluefields City not too far from the hotel where the participants for the international competition were staying at, a group of four Magicians were having a meeting. The place was well lit and looks like a normal office room.
”Four Battle Mages were captured by the enemies, Mark was even injured and we didn't even managed to get a single hair from our target?!
A disappointed young man in his twenties questioned the three Adepts in front of him. The man doesn't exude the aura of a magician and seemed to be an ordinary person. But the person obviously had an authority and wasn't afraid of the three.
”We were sure that the target was in his room 5 minutes before the operation. I was thinking at first that a vital information was leaked, but after analyzing the whole situation, I couldn't find a loophole in our operation. It means that the target's disappearance wasn't due to our operation.” The middle aged man wearing casual clothes answered confidently. Beside him was Mark and the third Adept who attacked with them in the building.
”How are you sure? Also, how did he disappear within your sight?” The young man was doubtful but he knows the capability of the three, he just couldn't accept this failure. Only a dozen of them was sent here for their operation, now they lost four Battle Mages and rescuing them would also be a challenge. The members of their organization stationed in this country weren't that strong and their only quite a few of them. Unfortunately, they also couldn't use them in these operations with high level of danger.
”I couldn't say I'm sure how did he disappeared but about the information leak, our flight's schedule was intentionally leaked to the police with vague information. They shouldn't be too wary of us yet and may be doubting our true purpose here. But now, there's a lot of Adepts in their company, they should be thinking that we are really targetting Wallace.” The middle aged man smiled and answered. He pondered a bit before continuing.
”It was confirmed they weren't that prepared when Sir Watson attacked the building using his unique magic spell. They were all caught surprised and he managed to injure a lot of students and instructors resulting to a great diversion on the 14th floor. We should've achieved our goal.”
The young man sighed after hearing this. Although it was their intention to divert attention and let the Zairus and other officials think that they're targetting Wallace, it was still frustrating that they didn't managed to capture the person with all the effort they made.
Sir Watson, the cloaked person in the room was silent and Mark was only closing his eyes the entire time. He looked like he didn't plan to join their conversation but at the end of their meeting. He still asked something he was curious about.
”About our true purpose here, have they discovered what technology it was?”

The sun was already high up in the sky and Wallace was walking within the streets of Linshamn City.
He had arrived in this city several hours ago but hadn't left yet. Not because he didn't know where to proceed but to sound out the situation. He even disguised himself and left some of his things in a hotel before going to the busy street of the city.
He confirmed that there is no rumors whatsoever with regards to any unidentified machine or technology found in recent months.
He tried to probe the people within the city but they seem to be unaware of any unusual events in the Araceli group of islands.
”Ok, the situation shouldn't be that bad, right?” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
He was about to continue his journey to the islands but he heard exclamations from the surroundings. It seems a breaking news was being reported in the morning news.
He tried to join a group of huddling people and listened to their conversation.
”What are they doing here?”
”They probably wanted to disrupt the competition and to sour the relationship of the four countries.”
”Hmph, good thing that they were defeated and discovered ahead of time.”
”That Z-Company was really a world wide organization. It's a bit scary though.”
”At least, the participants weren't severely injured and was healed back to their peak.”
