470 Trapped in One’s Trap Part 2 (2/2)

Why did the Icy light spear at the start not produce such an intense reactions? Lex thought hard.

”Lex is amazing!” Nailisi stuck out her tongue and thought back to how she wanted to go in to kill earlier on. Luckily, she did not leave the magic chariot, when Saleen felt danger, she realized there was danger too due to Saleen's soul vibrations. If she was within the building, the explosion might have happened even before she could run out.

”Saleen, what happened just now?” Viscountess…” Narnia looked at Saleen, her soul had not settled. If she was not in the magic chariot, she would not have escaped too. The two fully constructed puppets managed to drag the chariot away before the explosion happened, it was faster than even a Windspeed spell.

Saleen was deep in thought too, he could vaguely feel something had happened in the building, but this was illogical. It was just two spells with differing properties, how could such an intense reaction have taken place?

Light and dark elements were not entirely incompatible. In level-7 magic and above, there are ways to use these two types of magic together.

The other female mage looked at Saleen too before he reacted. He lifted his head and looked at the top of the chariot, his gaze pierced though it and he found Lex floating above in the air.

She was deep in thought too, evidently mystified with what had just happened.

”Lex is alright, she is above.” Saleen pointed to the sky.

Bifano rode his horse over to Saleen, Saleen did not allow him to say a word as he said, ”Ask your soldiers to leave the castle for now, there is still some trouble and normal soldiers cannot handle it.”

Bifano immediately stopped bothering Saleen as he commanded the remaining soldiers to leave the Stone Statue Castle. Hiding themselves at the corners of the castle walls.

At the center of the Stone Statue Castle, an elemental storm had formed and was expanding outwards silently.

Everywhere it went, everything turned to dust. Whether it was stone, wood, metal, or ceramics; they all seemed to have gone through thousands of years of degredation and had become ashes.

Lex flew even further into the sky, she took out her alchemy telescope and upon seeing this scene, she was relieved. The elemental storm now was clamping down and its properties were that of the dark type magic. It would disappear quickly.

Lex did not think of the soldiers and commoners at this point, there was no use too. Within the castle, a one-thousand meter radius of empty space had formed and such an elemental storm moved incredibly slowly. All the people around the edges had escaped and those inside were all dead.

At the west of the castle, a group of people rushed out, two-hundred soldiers protected one person and ran towards the west. Lex took in the scene, but did not give chase. That must have been Earl Wynner and there was no point killing him.

Earl Wynner was already scared out of his wits and he had no idea what happened at the center of the castle. After the explosion, he was brought away by a mage to escape the danger zone.

Among these two-hundred soldiers, only a handful of them were his bodyguards. The rest of them were scared shitless too and had no intentions of defecting. To them, such things were unimaginable.

Most of the army had seen mages and observed them releasing magic from close up. Those that could perform for them and be trained to adapt were grade-3 mages and below. Something like this that baffled even Saleen and Lex was even more illogical to them.

In the eyes of the common soldier, a mage could only release a fireball or some acid.

After more than an hour, the elemental storm finally subsided and Lex landed on the ground. Bifano, under the protection of his bodyguard, walked towards Lex while suppressing the fear in him.

”The castle is destroyed, we can cross the river now.” Lex said calmly, almost as if the thing that had happened had nothing to do with her.

”Viscountess!” Bifano raised his voice.

Lex looked at him coldly and said, ”You didn't mention this magic building in the castle. If you had told me it was there and given me more benefits, I would have entered. If there was a grade-6 mage in the house today, not all of us would have escaped.”

”I…” Bifano looked left and right in defeat. His bodyguard all looked horrified, not a single one opposed Lex's words. He knew that these soldiers might no longer dare to do anything to Lex in the future.

”Magic! One of these days, I must possess such powers too.” Bifano screamed in his heart, his face was calm by now.

”Viscountess, this castle must still have some undestroyed warehouses, besides, I want to go in and tidy up the corpses.”

”Alright, but let's wait another six hours, the castle still isn't suitable to enter.” Lex turned towards the magic chariot upon seeing Bifano giving up any intentions to pursue the matter. She was a little scared too, if she left too late just now, she would have to use the powers of the Gods Ring or else she would have definitely died.
