Chapter 1228: 391. Magic Propulsion

“What were you five doing? Why did you leave the battlefield?”

Tarsali’s voice boomed in the minds of every Metal System Wizard, pointedly directed at the five who had just returned to the scene.

The five wizards trembled in fear, their hearts pounding as the others around them, unconcerned with their plight, looked on with schadenfreude.

If they could have captured the Earth Vein Wizards who fled the battlefield, these five would now be feeling very confident.

But unfortunately, not only had they left the battlefield without authorization, but they had also let the weak Earth Vein Wizards escape.

All because of some inexplicable shell that appeared on the scene, an object that bafflingly used kinetic shocks as its killing mechanism.

Now facing Tarsali’s interrogation, the five looked at one another, and eventually, they all lowered their heads, not daring to boast.

Tarsali was furious, venting all his rage about the stolen Anti-Demon Material on the group of five.

Their metallic bodies were torn apart by tremendous strength, twisted into strips, turned into countless metal threads, and then fused into a ball that became a tangled mess.

A compressive force, far mightier than any hydraulic press, bore down upon the ball composed of the five Metal System Wizards.

As the five were about to be flattened into a sheet of iron, one of the wizards blurted out in desperation,

“My lord! We went chasing after a few Earth Vein Wizards! We could have apprehended them, but somehow our casting state was interrupted! Please forgive us, my lord, we only wanted to capture those who had fled the battlefield!”

Tarsali was in the throes of anger.

He was about to scorn the wizards for their excuses when he suddenly stopped squeezing the metallic mass and asked,

“What did you say? Someone interrupted your casting?”

“Yes, my lord! We didn’t even see where the enemy was when we were shot through the chest with Non-metallic Shells, forcing us to end ‘Metallic Torrent.’ Those Earth Vein Wizards, who were not stronger than the Five Rings, would never have escaped from us otherwise!”

The Metal System Wizard loudly defended himself, and his companions echoed his protestations, each taking a turn to recount their experiences.

When Tarsali heard that the fleeing Earth Vein Wizards were less powerful than Five Rings, and that they were aided by a mysterious helper, he immediately linked the thieves with these Earth Vein Wizards.

Considering the mysterious person had the skill to break through the Nine Rings Metal Spell ‘Metallic Torrent,’ why had they not rescued the higher-level wizards at the subway entrance instead of saving those lowly, weaker ones?

Clearly, rescuing higher-level wizards would be more cost-effective, right?

After freeing the high-level wizards, rescuing the lower-level ones should have been a piece of cake.
