From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

Fiona gazed at the Arcane Masters who were casting spells and demanded, "How much longer? How long will it take to break the restriction?"

The Arcane Masters showed helpless expressions, "This is the Magic Tower's restriction; we are powerless."

Fiona knew it wasn't the time to lose her temper and suppressed her irritation, quickly devising a plan.

Lu Heng reminded her, "We need to recall an Elf Elder who can control the situation. Augustus might be conducting the transformation ritual. Whether it's Seren or Terres, call one of them back to take charge. Only they have the ability to break this spatial confinement."

Fiona nodded in agreement and shouted, "Quick! Send a message to Seren and Terres. Tell them that the situation in Kolos is critical, and they are needed for a rescue."

"Yes, I'll deliver the message now." Eric hurried out to arrange for the Arcane Masters to use magic to send the message.

...

As the Bloodline Clan's teleportation gate opened, a large number of Bloodline Demons poured into the Quel'dorei World.

Kolos City closed its city gates, defending against the Bloodline Demons' attacks.

Fortunately, Kolos City, built by the Elf Clan over thousands of years, possessed formidable defenses. Even without an elder present, it could withstand the invasion of the Bloodline Demons.

Time ticked away.

Half a day passed.

A streak of sword light appeared, repelling the vast army of Bloodline Demons.

Subsequently, Terres ascended to the top floor of the Magic Tower, and seeing the people trapped in the spatial restriction, he looked puzzled.

"What is going on?"

Worried that he might be conspiring with Augustus, Lu Heng offered no explanation and directly said, "Quick, release the restriction and let us out."

Terres narrowed his eyes and responded, "Wait a moment. What did you do to get trapped here?"

Lu Heng was almost amused and retorted, "I want to ask what are you planning? Are you going to betray the Elf Clan too?"

Terres's gaze turned icy, and he scoffed, "What nonsense are you talking about? Surely you aren't trapped here because you were trying to loot the treasures, taking advantage of the Bloodline Demons' attack on Kolos City?"

Given that among the human groups called previously, one was a raiding team, it was hard for the Elf Clan not to think in this direction.

Pointing at Fiona next to him, firmly, Lu Heng said, "So is she here to loot as well?"

Terres seemed puzzled too, and asked, "Fiona, what's going on?"

Fiona didn't want to utter the words of Augustus's betrayal, unwilling to accept it in her heart.

Lu Heng had no choice but to say it for her, "Augustus has already betrayed you all. If you are not in cahoots with him, break this restriction quickly!"

Terres looked startled and loudly retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Lu Heng's gaze deepened as he questioned, "Ten days ago, didn't you destroy Dionysus's Life Protection Box just to keep Augustus's secrets? The silencing was so obvious, do you dare to say you didn't know?"

Hearing this question, Terres's expression froze, and scratching his head, he asked, "What exactly are you trying to do? Augustus is the greatest Arcane Master of Quel'dorei."

Uninterested in continuing this pointless talk, Lu Heng challenged, "I'm asking you, do you know Augustus's secret? The one that could ruin him."

Terres's expression darkened, and he bellowed, "This isn't something you, a human, should meddle in!"

Lu Heng shot back immediately, "Right, I shouldn't meddle. Then just wait for Augustus to transform into a Witch Demon and destroy Kolos!"

Terres was surprised, his eyes filled with confusion, "What do you mean? Augustus is turning into a Witch Demon?"

"You still pretend you don't know? The secret Dionysus wanted to reveal, the one you silenced, is about Augustus turning into a Witch Demon. We have all seen his Life Protection Box."

Now that they'd come this far, Lu Heng decided to reveal all the secrets.

Terres looked utterly incredulous, turned to Fiona, and asked, "Is what he's saying true?"

With heartache, Fiona hung her head and then nodded.

Terres's mind was overwhelmed as though a bomb had exploded, and he was stunned, "How is this possible!"

Lu Heng scoffed, "Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"

With Terres's status, there was absolutely no need for him to act to this extent.

If he were truly complicit with Augustus, he could have just attacked and killed everyone here.

After processing this shocking information, Terres's mind buzzed.

"I didn't know Augustus was turning into a Witch Demon. Whether what you say is true or not, I'll free you first. We'll find Augustus and then see."

Saying so, he struck the hub of the Magic Tower with his sword, severing the magic energy supply.

Without the energy from the Magic Tower, the spatial restriction formed by the Space Treasure quickly lifted.

The Space Treasure fell from mid-air; Lu Heng caught it and swiftly glanced at its attributes.

[Space Confinement Treasure Bead]

[Item Level: Level S]

[Specifications: Diameter 20 centimeters, Weight 1.6 kilograms]

[Attribute: Spirit +10]

[Special Effect: Energy Amplification]

[Divine Attribute Skill: Space Confinement]

[Space Confinement: Releases a spherical spatial confinemen...

[Description: This ancient Treasure Bead contains a profound and mystical force of space. Its surface flows with a faint blue glow, as if it could peer through and twist the crevices of time. The power contained within has weathered countless ages, still emanating heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.]

Before Augustus acted, he had mentioned this [Space Confinement Treasure Bead] was to be exchanged for the [Great Arcanist's Magic Secret Book].

Both being Level S treasures, the exchange wasn't unfair.

It was just uncertain whether Augustus's word could still be trusted.

Lu Heng didn't bother much, kept the bead first, then hurried out of the Magic Tower with Terres and Fiona, looking for a way to resolve the crisis facing the Elf Clan.
