Chapter 324
"Do not listen to him, Henry!" Right beside Henry’s mother, an old man loudly shouted, "Kita only wants to save a slot for his own family . Give the right of entry to us now before it’s too late!"
At the mountain’s peak .
People divided into five groups had the gate to the elemental fairies’ secret garden surrounded .
Susana noticed Kita’s facial expression changing upon listening to the old man’s words .
"Susana! It’s me! Your uncle Nicole! Just give the right of entry to us…"
"Master Kita, please…" Gill stopped one of his family members from continuing . He and the two other family heads were looking at Angele sternly .
With a smiling face, Angele took a step forward with the Watchers doing the same .
"Just give the right of entry to us . I am one of the core members of Elemental Hand . We will reward you if you do so . " Looking at the three teenagers in front of the gate, he spoke in a gentle tone, "You do know you can only send in two people at most, but all of us here want the right of entry, right?
"Just give it to me . We can make a fair trade . I have many resources of great rarity . Just tell me what you need . " Angele narrowed his eyes .
"You do not want to see you beloved family murder each other, do you? An argument like that will destroy friendships and it never ends peacefully . Think about it . You are standing on the land owned by Elemental Hand . We can sign a contract . I swear I will not harm your families . "
For a second, Angele stopped as he shrugged . "This is the only way in order to bring this matter to a peaceful closure . I am the only one who can control the situation here . "
The three teenagers pondered if they should accept Angele’s offer .
Those who belonged to the three families finally regained their composure and began to think of the best plausible solution .
For some reason, Angele seemed to be someone trustworthy—that was what they felt .
"I can actually offer you a bit more than that . Do you want to become a member of the Elemental Hand and work for me? … Why are you still waiting? Are you perhaps afraid of the Blue Eagle Nest? Do not worry . This is our territory, so they cannot possibly be at the helm here . "
"You!" Unos gnashed his teeth as he scowled at Angele . Behind him, the wizards were readying themselves for the forthcoming clash .
The Watchers noticed that the situation had changed so in order to protect Angele they formed an encirclement with him located at the center .
Kita opened his mouth, about to say something .
"Now!" Unos chimed in with a shout .
*CHI*
Underneath the blue robes’ feet appeared a massive circle of blue light .
It began expanding to the point of nearly covering the entire summit . Angele heard a noise that of the waves of the sea out of thin air .
Steam that came out of the blue circle nearly moistened his clothes to the point of being wet, causing his eyes to narrow . A strange oceanic smell drifted across the air .
Angele immediately raised his hand . A speck of red light exploded in front of him .
*BAM*
The explosion caused itself to form into multiple rays of red light but these were devoured by the mist coming out of the blue circle .
"Huh? It did not work?" Angele was startled . He hastily looked at his surroundings .
He was now surrounded by blue mist and had a feeling as though he was sinking deep into the ocean . He could still breathe but people near him had all disappeared .
"This is either a strong illusion spell or a strong void spell . " Angele controlled his sangfroid . He then took a step and gradually released the full strength of his mentality wave . A blue laser dot was flashing in each of his pair of eyes .
He had already studied the illusion signet and created an anti-illusion technique, but it looked like the spell cast by the Blue Nest Eagle was much stronger than he had expected .
‘My illusion-related skills have already reached the highest a rank 1 wizard can get . The anti-illusion technique I created should be ineffective only against rank 3 wizards but there is no such person in their group…which means…they must have activated a high-quality magic device . ’ Angele made his conjecture .
*************************
Kita, Susana, and Henry, the three of them, had already realized that the summit was covered in blue fog . They were getting nervous .
Members of the Blue Eagle Nest had surrounded them .
There was a blue horn in Unos’s right hand . With a pale face, he was uttering the incantation . The blue smoke drifting out of the horn was the source of the fog, and it continued to become increasingly thicker .
The blue smoke created a sea of fog at the summit, such that Kita could barely see anything around him .
"Master, the eagle horn has created multiple divided areas that separated our enemies from each other . The only way for them to escape the fog is to break the illusion spell, but we do not have much time left . What should we do?" the woman with a long, black hair asked .
"Follow the plan . Take a team with you and take out the families . I shall deal with the man from the Elemental Hand . " Unos had a heartless expression . "He is trying to break the spell . I must stop him as soon as possible . "
"Why don’t we just kill him first?" the old wizard advised .
"We cannot . Looks like he is an affluential member of Elemental Hand . I do not wish to face the possible repercussions . " Unos shook his head declining the suggestion .
"All right, let us move . We must take out as many as we can," Unos ordered .
They now divided themselves into two groups led by the woman and the old wizard, respectively . Within seconds, they vanished into the blue fog .
Unos tied the blue horn to his belt and drew the black scimitar from his sheath . He was the last person to enter the fog .
