Novel Bin Chapter 582 Nidite City
"Three of their Paragons were defeated without being able to send the news out. They weren\'t able to escape even with the help of their border security. The Alliance Head must know that the ones who killed their Paragons would be incredibly strong or perhaps a huge force. I find it suspicious that they only sent this much force with them."
Lucia answered as she had asked Calidia about the full details of the danger they were facing this time.
Paragons, Celestials, and Martial Artists… Somehow, they decided not to bring any airships and traveled through the border by carriage or on foot!
There must be something they have missed!
There was no way they would be that confident to siege a city with only these forces.
"It\'s not like we have made a contact with them. We only assumed that they\'ll be attacking the Nidite City. Who knows, their Tower Lord Ignacy might be able to negotiate with the Paragons…" Katea replied as she also knows the situation on their side…
"Whatever… Just focus on recovering your energy… We have to give Vincent a surprise once he returned." Lucia said as she turned her back and headed to the stairs.
The two of them returned to Vincent\'s residence and used his garden to recover their Celestial Energy. This is their routine every day and nothing seems too different today.
However, after a few minutes of meditation, they felt their connection to Vincent getting stronger.
The connection was extremely ethereal and they couldn\'t properly explain it.
They looked at each other in shock as they were confused by their own situation.
"Did you feel that?" Lucia asked unsure of the sensation she experienced just now.
"Yes…" Katea answered as she closed her eyes. She wanted to experience it again but she wasn\'t sure how to do it…
Lucia wryly smiled at this as she made a guess.
"I think Vincent is trying to communicate with us… Unfortunately, the connection is still too weak."
"That\'s possible. Since we didn\'t do anything unusual, Vincent might be exploring his blessing as a Vessel of Faith."
Then, the two Celestials no longer bothered about this as they continued their routine.
***
A couple of days had quickly passed and this time, the two battalions sent by Vera City to aid Nidite City had fully integrated with the local forces.
During this time, everyone was alert as there was a precedent that the enemies could open a portal or gate similar to the dungeons just outside the city wall.
The Archmages and Grand Magus of the Black Tower concluded that opening such a portal can only be done within 10 kilometers of their target. This was confirmed by the previous Tower Lord Ignacy so Lola Hamblin made enough preparations.
During this time, Lola is watching the city on top of her Tower together with Ignacy, Brycen, and Shane.
The Master and Disciples were chatting joyfully as they were recalling their past experiences.
"Hmph! You guys are making fun of Magnus again. Look, he didn\'t even bother coming here and stayed in Vera City." Lola suddenly said as she heard Brycen teasing the missing person.
Magnus\' attitude had changed after entering Vera City and being taught a lesson several months ago. He was no longer arrogant and remained focused on his cultivation.
He knows that he\'s a very talented individual and he just needed time to develop. However, this made him very unapproachable as he would always remain in his residence absorbing Mana and training in various Mana Arts.
"Well! He was too obsessed with his Mana Arts. It\'s not a bad thing but what he needed is experience. He\'s not even a Grand Magus yet but he\'s attempting to create an Original Mana Art!" Brycen said in exasperation.
Shane wryly smiled and didn\'t blame Brycen for reacting like that... He can\'t really scold Magnus for attempting it as well since he also felt that he can do it before but as he grew up, he realized his limitations and just improved or enhanced another Mana Art.
Of course, one requirement of becoming a Grand Magus is having original mana art but it doesn\'t have to be groundbreaking or cutting-edge Mana Art. As long as you managed to create a simple one, even if it is not useful, the Core will acknowledge it and will help you advance.
After that, you can simply learn a Tier 5 Mana Art that will eclipse your original mana art.
"He\'s brave… Who knows, he might really create an Original Mana Art. I\'m sure that he has found the inspiration to start doing it." Shane added as he doesn\'t like looking down on that kid.
After all, he\'s still a disciple accepted by Ignacy. He might have a chance to improve.
"What do you think, Master?" Lola asked as she was curious about this as well. She hadn\'t seen Magnus for a while so she can\'t really tell whether Magnus has the ability or not.
"Hmm… If he perseveres, it wouldn\'t be surprising if he develops a terrifying technique in five to six years." Ignacy answered.
It appears that he had seen Magnus\' research and was also looking forward to it.
This shocked the three disciples since Ignacy described it as terrifying… There was no way that a Grand Magus standing at the peak would easily describe a technique as terrifying.
It means that Magnus truly deserves to be accepted by Ignacy…
As they were chatting, Lola\'s communication crystal suddenly vibrated.
She immediately picked it up and listened to the message.
After a few seconds, Lola took a deep breath and stored her communication crystal.
"It seems that they\'ve come prepared. Although their main force was the group of Paragons and Celestials, they also mobilized their connection with the Black Magic Organization." Lola spoke as she knitted her brows.
She\'s also quite suspicious of the small number of enemies. With the report she just received, it finally made sense since the Martial Arts Alliance had indeed acknowledged the rule of the Black Magic Organization.
"What are the forces they mobilized this time?" Ignacy asked. His eyes were serene and his voice was incredibly calm.
After surviving the battle against the Avatar of Magic God, he had become even stronger.
Lola then answered with a hint of nervousness in her voice.
"There were traces of gates being manifested three to five kilometers away from the city… They confirmed three flying warships this time. This is a strategy similar to what they employ in Vera City but this time, they placed it farther... Thankfully, Master assisted us in setting up many new formations so any ripples can now be detected."
