Opal City

“That demon has realized our plan,” a Magician said as he saw a blonde figure skid past him on the streets. He recognized her immediately. He did not identify her through her features, but the aura emanating from her body

“Give chase!” the Magician beside him shouted.

This group of Magicians then started chasing the blonde figure. At the same time, a Magician in the group activated a rune stone he held tightly in his hand. The rune stone then began to shine and emit powerful magic fluctuations. This fluctuation was stable and regular. It spread throughout the entire market district of Opal City, sending a clear message to all the Magicians currently stationed there.

“The demon is between Leiden Road and the Altai Mountain; we will go over from the South!”

“The north exit will be sealed as well.”

“Activate the barrier; seal the exits!”

One magic fluctuation followed another as the Magicians transmitted information amongst one another. The 30 over Magicians on this mission seemed to be operating efficiently with strong chemistry. They formed an almost impenetrable network of blockades, swiftly encircling Celine in their grasp.

Link’s voice constantly sounded in Celine’s mind. Stop, someone is blocking the road in front. Head left immediately and jump over the stone wall. It is not very tall.

Just as Celine jumped over the stone wall, she saw a group of Magicians running towards her. These Magicians were all at least Level-4 in strength and the leader was even a Level-5 Magician. If Celine were to be involved in direct combat with them, she might be able to achieve a narrow victory, but at the same time, she risked meeting the backup groups that would arrive soon after. She would then be trapped in a hopeless situation.

Therefore, she could not be held back by a battle.

“Damn it, the target leaped over the wall and is now in Wyeth Street,” one person in the group saw Celine’s actions and cursed.

The moment Celine leaped over the wall, Link said, Stay put and wait. Ten, nine, eight, seven…okay. Now go back to the other side of the wall and walk along the same road.

Celine once again leaped over the wall. The group of Magicians had long ran off in another direction, going on a detour to the location they thought Celine was at. Who would have thought that Celine would turn back to a previously dangerous spot.

This had allowed Celine to tear a small hole in the almost impenetrable defense set up by the Magicians.

Alright, now continue going forward. Do you see the exchange building two blocks away? Run towards it…wait, retreat! Hide in a shop and pretend to be buying something.

Celine immediately backtracked and ran into a shop. It was a hat shop, and she grabbed one frantically and placed it on her head. She then stared at the mirror on her side to act like a customer trying on a hat.

Five seconds later, a group of Magicians ran across the street she was supposed to cross. They missed Celine just like that.

Alright, now go out and run 90 feet in front of the intersection. Then hide in the clothing store, Link ordered.

Celine followed the instructions accordingly. She had no idea how Link was doing all these. However, after many close shaves with the Magicians, she had complete confidence in Link and executed her actions with conviction. Sure enough, the moment she entered the clothing store, another group of Magicians ran past the street and missed Celine by a few seconds.

Bren and the High Elf Magician Lina was observing Celine’s actions through a crystal ball. After seeing the skillful maneuver of Celine through the City, Bren had a tight frown on his face. Something was not right.

Lina then spoke, “Do you feel like she has eyes on the back of her head?”

“It’s not even just that! It seems as though she can foresee the future. She is playing hide and seek with the Magicians,” Bren commented.

This was not the first time he had crossed swords with the demon princess. He had a good gage of her abilities. Previously, when the Magician Alliance sent a ten-man investigative team to crack down on her location, she was already at her limits.

However, now that the number of Magicians had increased to 30, she had gotten the upper hand instead. It was all too strange.

Lina smiled, “Bren, don’t you feel that someone is giving her directions in the dark?”

“You are saying…?” Bren was increasingly horrified by the prospects.

“He should already be here.” Lina had a smile of disgust and mockery on her face as she sneered. “Andrew’s plan was crap to begin with. It would be enough for him to give directions from afar. He did not even have to appear physically.”

Bren’s face sank. Lina was completely relentless with her words. If Andrew’s plan was really crap, then as the person who agreed with it wholeheartedly, it must have reflected really badly on him.

However, he knew that it was not a time to lose his temper. He said, “What do we do now? The Magician Alliance seems to be useless. Are we really going to let this demon princess get off the hook?”

Lina did not answer. She kept her eyes fixated on the crystal ball. After ten minutes, she suddenly spoke, “The tables have turned.”

Celine seemed to have run into some trouble.

Two people could be seen in front of her. One of them was old and frail while the other had silver eyes and hair. The two of them were not deceived by Celine’s disguise. They directly blocked Celine’s path of escape.

A hundred and fifty feet behind the two of them was the exchange building of Opal City’s market district. Celine was now 60 feet in front of them. In the crowded market district, all the Magicians had gotten news of the new location and were making their way here rapidly.

Although the fish was agile and nimble, the net was cast too far and wide. She was eventually captured.

Bren’s eyes widened. “This group of Magicians will not let her live. Link will then have to appear physically to save her. Alright, Hanlott had started casting his spell. Hang on; Link is going to appear soon…Damn it! Why did Ballie charge out!?”

The scene depicted on the crystal ball was extremely clear. The first few people who rushed out in Celine’s defense was not Link, but Ballie and his two assistants. Ballie had his own concerns as well. To him, the Syndicate’s plan towards Link was only second in terms of priority. His main concern was still his master’s order.

When he left the abyss, his master had only one request: “Bring back my daughter. She must be alive!”

The princess had to be alive. If she was killed, who could withstand the rage of the master? Therefore, to hell with the Syndicate, Bren, Andrew, and Lisa. This group of Magicians was about to kill the princess; he had to protect her life!

The three demons rushed out together and couldn’t have cared less about Celine. As long as she was alive, they could always find her again. However, these two dangerous Magicians had to die!
