Magical Academy: Rise of the Supreme Magic Craftsman

Chapter 394 - Against Alien Invasion ( 8 )



[ For the forces that landed here on our planet, we have confirmed 58 Mech Frames have been destroyed together with 230 Marauder Gears. ] 

"That\'s too low…" Miya uttered after hearing Avalon\'s report. The casualty on the enemy side is too low considering that they are expecting more than ten thousand Mech Frames and more than a hundred thousand Imperial Soldiers from the Alien Species.

Nevertheless, Avalon is unable to tell whether their Mana Spells that could\'ve passed through the defenses of the spaceships had actually killed someone. Aside from that, Wallace\'s Super Mesospheric Altitude Gun had also cleanly hit some of the Conveyor Spaceship and deal visible damages to them.

Those clean hits had mostly killed some aliens but they are unable to tell how many since they were quickly covered up.

Aside from that, the report that Avalon gave doesn\'t include the Mech Frames and soldiers that they\'ve killed in outer space. 

"So we haven\'t killed any golden aliens yet."

[ Correct. ] Avalon replied.

"Thank you for letting me know, Avalon… Do you think there\'s something else I can help you with?" Miya asked in a sincere tone.

[ No. But if you ask Wallace he may request you to encourage our soldiers? ]

"Huh? How can I even do that? Do you want me to lead them to war?" Miya felt that encouraging soldiers should be Wallace\'s job or perhaps the strongest Magicians of their country…

[ No. But you can consider singing for them. ] 

"Ugh… I don\'t have any songs for this kind of situation… Sorry, I shouldn\'t have asked."

[ It\'s fine. I just received a piece of news, you can also consider meeting with Miss Chamber now. ] 

"The Headmaster? Why?" Miya asked in confusion. It seems that this Avalon has a lot of ideas.

Miss Chamber is the current headmaster of Leonhearts Academy and should be here on this floating island as well. As a matter of fact, her group was the last one to board Trance as she had to manage a lot of things for the sake of their Academy.

Currently, the magic academy was closed down and multiple defensive arrays have been placed to stop any trespassers. Perhaps, even if multiple Mech Frames and Marauder Gears decided to loot the place, they would have some trouble entering it.

Tap! Tap!

Wallace flicked his finger to feel the thickness of the metal gate blocking him… Currently, he can ignore the corruption of the Death Energy surrounding him due to his Astral Energy covering his whole body.

\'Let\'s try another method then…\' Wallace thought after realizing that the gate is being protected by the unusual Energy coming from the Corpse Furnace… Perhaps, he can overpower this but that would be too much trouble. 

Whom~

He opened his Dimensional Storage Space and pulled a bottle of black liquid.

That\'s right, this is the Seventh Generation Mana Artifact courtesy of Aeolia Shien. This is a genuine Artifact that was made through the sacrifice of many magicians.

Crack!

He broke the bottle with his hands as the black liquid poured out… However, before hitting the ground, the black liquid evaporated, or perhaps, it turned into black smoke!

Wallace closed his eyes as he tried to feel the changes in his body.

Currently, the black smoke is restlessly circling on him as if it was trying to confirm whether Wallace was the one who summoned it.

Whoossh~

The smoke finally calmed down after a while. 

At the same time, Wallace opened his eyes inside his bio-armor… He confirmed the formation of another Synthetic Mana Core inside his body!

\'Aeolia… You\'re truly a genius…\' Wallace thought as he waved his hand towards the metal gate.

Then, like another Death Energy, the black smoke or the Sentient Mana attacks the gate being protected by the Death Energy!

Without any resistance, the Sentient Mana tore through the metal gate as Wallace flew out of the entrapment!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

More metal gates or airtight bulkheads closed down after they have realized that Wallace was able to escape!

Bam! Bam!

He destroyed two more bulkheads before he was stopped by a group of Khrusams… Finally, they have decided to confront him directly. 

They have already realized that the Imperial Soldiers aren\'t a match for him in close combat. 

\'Five Khrusams and two Corpse Furnace… You\'re not taking me lightly, aren\'t you?\'

Wallace smirked seeing the five aliens… They are all wearing their robe just like before but what\'s surprising to him right now was that they have already opened their third eye!

He thought that they will only do this in some kind of emergency or dangerous situation but they have appeared in front of him while it is already opened!

Then, he saw the five doing some hand gestures or perhaps a ritual to summon the death energy within their Corpse Furnace…

Then, twelve black tentacles made of the Death Energy came rushing at him… He can feel the corrosive energy that it has and also the mysterious sensation of death reaching out for him…

He couldn\'t properly explain the aura of Death Energy but it does have a weird scent that seems to have come from the grave.

Boom! Boom!

The tentacles clashed at his Sentient Mana.

Wallace felt that the pressure was too much even though he knows that he could defend against it… So he decided to approach the group and targeted the Furnace using his Void Phase.

Though he can cast multiple mana spells to try and destroy it… He felt that using his physical qualities and Void Phase would be faster.

Haa!

He used his fist covered with his concentrated Mana to destroy the Furnace on his left. 

His reappearance using the Void Phase surprised the aliens. However, Wallace still underestimated the third eye of one of the Major Races in the Universe.

They are actually terrifying!

Though the physical body and the consciousness of the Khrusams were unable to follow Wallace\'s movement, their third eye seems to have a life of its own as it stared at the direction where Wallace would reappear using his Void Phase!

It is almost like it\'s predicting his movement or perhaps, it could see him pass through the Void with that eyes!

Then, as he was about to destroy the Furnace… A whirlpool made of Death Energy materialized at the spot of the Furnace where his fist is about to strike.

Boom!

His fist hit the Death Energy but he was unable to destroy it as expected.

He decided to back away for now… Of course, he didn\'t stop his movements since the tentacles would try to catch him…

\'Tsk… What\'s with that third eye? It can follow my movement. I thought it\'s only used to increase their control with the Death Energy?!\'

This race was too mysterious. Perhaps, he had to reconsider his plans for now.

\'Hmm… Let\'s see.\' Wallace looked at the Khrusams as he suddenly had an idea. 

\'If we don\'t know anything from you. I guess we should just study you for a bit.\' The young man thought as he rushed towards one of the Khrusams.

Their Death Energy is indeed too mysterious. After all, this alien race has kept their secret too tightly… Their Corpse Furnace is a complete mystery and their third eye is like a miracle…

Even the Galactic Federation doesn\'t have any information about it.

Nevertheless, this might be a chance for Wallace to learn about these aliens.

Miya looked at Avalon curiously as she waited for the A.I.\'s reply…

[ Miss Chamber is currently investigating the Death Energy that the Aliens are using. ] 

"Eh? The Death Energy? I read that it\'s the power of the Khrusams, right?" She asked in confusion.

[ That\'s correct. Due to multiple reports that we\'ve received, we are trying to confirm whether the Death Energy has similarities with the Soul Arts of this planet. ] 

"Really?! That would be amazing! Wait, I mean that would groundbreaking! Perhaps, those who practice the Soul Arts can finally help to fight in the war."

[ Well, not exactly. But it would benefit us if we know how their power works. ] 

"Yes… Of course. However, it would be difficult to study their Death Energy… unless you manage to store it and put it in a bottle or something?" Miya asked since before they could study the energy, they should have a sample of it.

If there\'s none, there\'s no way they could progress on the study… 

At the moment, she\'s thinking that Avalon collected some samples by taking the magicians, mech knights, or perhaps other objects that have been affected by the mysterious energy.

[ No. Just a minute ago, Wallace captured a living member of the Khrusam race and bounded it with him… Aside from that, he also picked up twelve dead Khrusams as he was escaping… ] 

"Wait, what? He already killed those aliens!" Miya asked in surprise. Those aliens are super strong! Even the huge floating island dropping on them was not enough!

However, Avalon immediately corrected her.

[ No, someone helped him. However, the helper\'s identity is one of the top-secret information at the moment so I can\'t tell you. ]
