Time rewound slightly.
Raia and Fana, who had formed a temporary alliance with the Aqua Deer Squad, did not immediately head to the Bronze Fertile Plains battlefield. Instead, they walked towards the wide-open treasury door.
"We need to get something from inside to deal with that guy." Raia walked into the treasury without looking back.
Thor followed behind him, his steps faltering slightly: "Are you talking about the ultimate magic left by the Elf Tribe?"
"You know quite a bit, don't you?"
"What, is your goal in coming here that ultimate magic?" Raia walked forward with his hands clasped within his robes. He wondered in his heart why the Aqua Deer Squad had come here, probably to fulfill their agreement to deal with Demon God Cerberus, just like them.
They weren't the same group who first attacked the Dwarf Clan's treasury.
Thor didn't answer directly, but instead spoke with a hint of disdain: "If your goal is that ultimate magic, you'd best give up early. The Oracle has already foretold that magic will be mastered by our squad."
"The Oracle?"
Raia naturally knew about the Dwarf Clan's Oracle. Listening to Thor's somewhat mocking tone, he didn't get angry. Instead, he slowly said: "It seems you don't know what that ultimate sealing magic truly means."
"Rather than not mastering that ultimate sealing magic, or having it learned by your people... the optimal choice should be for us to acquire that magic. Actually, I also came with a 'let's see' attitude, but..."
Before he could finish speaking, everyone felt the magic power overflowing in the passage, as if a fierce battle was taking place.
--------------------
Inside the treasury.
Bai En, Nancy, and the Diamond Kingdom's guys were still fighting. Fei Leimena looked at Nancy, who had climbed out of the rubble, her somewhat crazed smile and the sudden use of new magic made her feel that something was off about the opponent.
Just as she was about to cast a spell, something extremely hard, like a lead ball, suddenly smashed directly into her face.
In her dazed vision, Fei Leimena saw clearly: it was Nancy's fist!
'So fast, I couldn't see it at all, and her fist is so heavy...'
Blood splattered from her mouth, staining Nancy's silver-white armor like a blood flower. Fei Leimena flew backward, dragging a deep scratch mark on the ground.
This seemed to be just the beginning.
Nancy instantly appeared at the spot where Fei Leimena had been sent flying, violently kicking her into the air. With both hands clenched into fists, she then slammed her down from the air, creating a crater in the ground and sending large chunks of rock and dust flying.
The tide of the battle had completely turned.
Nancy in the air maintained a manic smile on her lips. She descended rapidly, charging at Fei Leimena again. In the dust, Fei Leimena shakily stood up. Her head lowered, she looked somewhat gloomy, and yellow flowing sand and earth chunks enveloped her right arm.
Both sides simultaneously threw punches. The silver-white armored fist landed on Fei Leimena's face, while the yellow flowing sand and earth chunks smashed into Nancy's face. The immense force caused large cracks to appear in the nearby floor tiles, and the spot where the two clashed sank deeply.
"Haha, again! Again!"
Unrestrained laughter echoed through the treasury.
Fei Leimena secretly grumbled about the crazy woman who came from who-knows-where, then gathered her magic power again and plunged into the relentless battle. The two went back and forth, fists meeting flesh, like two fierce jungle beasts engaged in the most primal struggle.
Behind them, numerous Earth Armor Soldiers and gigantic Earth Spirits, like summoned creatures, were engaged in similar battles!
Bai En, on the other hand, ever since Nancy unleashed that massive magic power, had stopped paying attention to their fight. Instead, he dealt with Ladoros and the Space Mage while refining his new kitchen utensil.
It wasn't until the newly refined kitchen utensil appeared in his hand that Bai En thought about ending the battle quickly.
Just then, the treasury door was shattered open, and the person who flew in was precisely the Mage who had initially disappeared from behind Morris. Observing the situation, the Space Mage next to Ladoros reacted quickly, and silver-white spatial magic appeared beneath their feet.
Their figures gradually descended.
The slashes Bai En made with Zan Yan almost simultaneously attacked Morris and his group with the wind blades sweeping in from the door. A silver-white barrier appeared, and Ladoros absorbed their attack magic with his special physique.
Nancy punched Fei Leimena, but this time, Fei Leimena did not punch back. The gigantic Earth Spirit instantly shrank and appeared in front of her. An earth wall appeared in front of the spirit, blocking the attack.
The earth wall shattered, and Fei Leimena's figure completely vanished into the spatial magic. The Diamond Kingdom's guys quickly escaped the battlefield.
Bai En still held Zan Yan in his hand. The guys who appeared at the door were Raia and Fana of Eye of the Midnight Sun.
"Hey, hey, hey... Don't be so hostile right away. At your squad leader's suggestion, we're allies now, you know~" Raia explained, looking at Bai En who was preparing to swing his sword.
"Allies?"
Raia stared with dead fish eyes, a lazy smile still on his lips: "At least until Demon God is resolved, don't betray us, esteemed Magic Knight-sama."
The members of the Aqua Deer Squad and Eye of the Midnight Sun gathered in the treasury.
"You're saying the group who attacked the treasury were the Eight Shining Generals of the Diamond Kingdom? And their target was the Earth Spirit inside the treasury?" Thor listened to the information provided by Bai En.
"Wait... the Earth Spirit isn't that ultimate sealing magic, is it?"
"If that's the case..."
Thor's heart suddenly skipped a beat. A scroll was thrown over, and he hastily caught it. Just as he was about to ask what it was, he saw Raia looking at him with a half-smile.
"Let's follow your Oracle and see who is worthy of obtaining this sealing magic."
Sealing magic? So it wasn't the Earth Spirit... and it wasn't taken by the Diamond Kingdom's guys? But how did he find this magic, and why did he know it was this scroll?
Thor was greatly puzzled.
Considering that the other party was from Eye of the Midnight Sun, he wouldn't offer much explanation, so he didn't ask further.
The scroll circulated among the members of the Aqua Deer Squad.
Faint murmurs of discussion rose: "So many strange characters, I can't understand them at all."
"No changes."
But the scroll passed through three people and reached Bai En's hand. The scroll rod felt like jade, and when opened, it revealed a piece of animal hide covered in black magic script. It wasn't the traditional magic script Bai En was familiar with; it was somewhat obscure and difficult to understand.
Just like with the previous few, there was no change.
'The method of selection should be similar to how Elves choose their hosts: the characters disappear, and then appear in the grimoire. In that case... it seems I won't have the chance to learn this sealing magic. However, my own grimoire pages aren't many to begin with, and they're all already planned out, so it's not crucial.'
Bai En handed the scroll to Nancy beside him. She seemed to still be recovering from the recent battle.
But the moment she took the scroll, even though her gaze wasn't on the open scroll, the magic script on it gradually began to disappear...
