Chapter 834: Part 4: Face-off
Adamont Canyon:
The atmosphere is getting tense as time passes. Dax Wheeler is keeping an eye on the Yellow River Academy Wizards. The Sword Hall Elders have asked him to find out the truth.
But he thinks that truth is connected to the Yellow River Academy Wizards. So he is not planning to leave them alone.
On the other hand, Nora Baker was in a dilemma. She has the authority to inquire. But fear of the Magic Lord makes her afraid.
Like Dax, She is also paying close attention to them.
Not long after,
A white airship landed near the entrance of the Adamont Canyon.
Swoosh!
A team of wizards flew out of the airship and started heading deep into the canyon. The team is none other than Elite wizards of the Adventure Union.
The team is made up of 6 members. The captain of the team is level-8 Water Elemental Wizard Alex and the remaining 5 members are level-7 Wizards.
The Adventure Union is another behemoth. They are clear as well. Unless they send a high-ranking wizard. Their team will be suppressed.
Alex is a middle-aged wizard. But he is very greedy of resources. Not only that but the elite wizards of the Adventure Union have a task to collect information about the resources
Which is very well in line with the interest of Alex.
"Let's hurry, I heard other forces are already here," Alex said with a grin on his face. But he didn't notice that there were a few wizards on their way.
The place has become deserted because of earlier events. Their destination is the explosion site as well. The Adventure Union's intel unit is no less than that of 3 big academies.
They are well aware that Yellow River Academy Wizards are here before everyone. The group is moving in mid-air towards the destination.
"According to the Head Manager, the academies are hiding something," He secretly thought in his heart. He knows that Adventure Union is a neutral force.
It's difficult to dominate here. But that doesn't mean that he is willing to return empty-handed.
"Will I find out what they are hiding?" A quick gleam flashes in his eyes.
At this point, those ordinary forces have left the core area where 3 big wizard teams are standing. Everyone has realized it's calm before a storm.
Meanwhile,
Galvin and Hubert are waiting for an additional support team to arrive. Once they come, then they can be reassured of their safety.
Behind them, the level-7 wizards are checking out other level-7 wizards. Confrontations of eyes are going on. Only the Weapon Palace Wizards are standing aloof.
There was no group here to threaten them.
Suddenly,
Nora Baker receives messages from the higher-ups. Reading that her face turned ugly. They are wondering why she hasn't taken any steps.
Nora knew the higher-ups knew that reason. But they are not saying it openly.
After closing the message, a hint of determination flashes in her eyes.
Dax Wheeler who was standing not far away saw her reaction.
"Is she going to take action?" He asked himself.
A few minutes later,
A movement in the sky disturbed everyone. When they looked above, they saw another unwanted visitor come.
The people are none other than the Adventure Union Team.
Seeing the faces of 3 big academy wizards changes drastically. No one welcomes Adventure Union people into their company.
"These guys come here to plunder again," Nora said.
Her words are not loud. But it reached everyone's ears.
Dax Wheeler became vigilant as well. Because the Adventure Union is one of those forces where everyone wants to befriend.
The 3 academies have neither bad nor good relations with the Adventure Union.
"It's a neutral force," He mumbled.
"He...He....He...."
"Ms, your words are harsh. We are here to look around this infamous place," Alex said with a laugh.
Then he saw how these 2 academy wizards were encircling the Yellow River Academy Wizards. He quickly realized what had happened.
"Hoho"
"Looks like you 2 academies failed to get any answers from them," Alex said with a chuckle.
Nora's face becomes frosty. But she knows what to prioritize. She doesn't want the Yellow River Academy Wizards to slip away.
Dax Wheeler is standing cross-armed and gently tapping his forearm. He is watching everyone's movements.
Alex sneered inside. He doesn't want to anger them anymore. So he quickly turned towards Galvin and Hubert.
"Yellow River Academy, I heard you guys are the first to come here. I wonder what you found. Our Adventure Union is willing to pay an expensive price for your information," He said with a smile.
"Shameless," Nora lost her cool. But she knows that it's a fact. They have a powerful and credible intel unit.
On the other hand, Hubert and Galvin's expression turned dark.
"How long is it going to take?" Galvin asked. He is seeing the situation getting worse. The Adventure Union's presence now is going to worsen more.
"Ha...Ha...Ha..."
"Not talking, I wanna see what's in here," After saying that Alex approached the explosion site. Behind his team members are following closely.
Seeing that they are moving toward the explosion site. The faces of Hubert and Galvin became tense. But they quickly recovered. They don't want to show any signs.
On the other hand, Dax and Nora are watching curiously. They checked the place with mental power earlier. They didn't find anything earlier.
When Alex saw the destroyed passage. A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. Because it was destroyed recently. There is rubble everywhere. At the end of the passage is the dead end.
Seeing that Alex frowned. As per reports, the Yellow River Academy Wizards are guarding something here.
Then he spent a few more hours checking the places. Seeing that there was no sign of spatial disturbance or anything.
Alex knitted his eyebrows. He was hoping to find some information. In the end, he wasn't able to do anything.
"Sigh,"
"No wonder, the other 2 academies are encircling them," He said in his heart.
"Let's wait outside," Then he ordered his team.
Seeing that the Adventure Union team coming out empty-handed. No one was surprised.
But instead of leaving the place, the Adventure Union team found some spot to sit down.
Nora frowned. But she can't say anything to them.
Galvin sighed inwardly. He was worried that they would find something. But then he realized the powerhouse of their Hall must have erased those traces.
Hubert also relaxed his nerves. Among these, only Galvin knows about the truth.
Meanwhile,
Evil Hand Ethan is getting the following reports. Seeing that no one was fighting. His face turned ugly.
"It can't be helped. I have to do something," Ethan said in his heart.
He knows that 4 forces are gathered here. Including the Adventure Union team.
Suddenly, a good idea comes to mind.
Only the Dark League and Yellow River Academy know the reality of the situation. It's all connected to the wizard seed Vincent Carey.
He thinks that when Vincent Carey's news comes up. Galvin and Hubert won't stay silent. They will find a way to leave.
"Hey, come here."
"Spread the rumors according to my instructions," He said to his team members.
A few minutes later,
A new rumor starts to spread widely inside Adamont Canyon. The Gravity Wizard Vincent Carey was captured by dark league members at the Adamont Canyon.
When the news reaches the ears of the 3 big academy teams. Everyone's expression changed.
Galvin and Hubert especially looked at each other. They are not naive. They can see that the timing of the rumor was unusual.
They also feel that it was a trap set by the Dark League members. But to them, it was a good excuse to escape from this encirclement.
"What wizard student was caught by them?"
"Let's go and teach these b@satrds some lessons."
Hubert stood up and massive coercion was released from his body and it swept across everyone. Galvin shielded the members of the Yellow River Academy.
"Harumph," Nora snorted before releasing a similar coercion to cancel out.
"Where are you guys leaving?" Dax Wheeler's eyes flickered.
He saw Hubert and Galvin leaving with their team members.
"Don't block our path. We are going to rescue our students. If something happens, are you going to take responsibility?" Galvin said to a Weapon Palace Wizard who was blocking the path.
"You..." After hearing this the Weapon Palace Wizard was unable to refute. If there is such an incident, it's unwise for them to block the path.
It might cause 2 academies to go to war.
Fearing that he looked towards Dax Wheeler. Dax Wheeler was frowning. It's a terrible situation. If something goes wrong, he might have to face the wrath of the Magic Lord.
He twitched. Then he signaled his team members to move away.
Seeing that no one was blocking. The Yellow River Academy Wizards left the place.
"It could have been rumors," Nora Baker said with a snort.
Hearing that Dax Wheeler shook his head before saying, "We don't know for sure. If the dark league is involved, then it will be troublesome."
