Chapter 101: The Confrontation of the Great Sage
Aloisius laughed for half a minute, no one spoke, even the knights realized the severity of the form, and Magir was already looking around to see if there was any way to get out. "Damn it, I didn't expect the other party to be so strong, and we are not their opponents together. ”
"I can try throwing knives. Ulf whispered, but immediately denied his idea. "I bet he's got a shield, he's a great sage. ”
Tillin stood beside Ulf, his dagger in his hand, but he didn't have any stance to attack. "Don't do anything stupid, that will only make you die faster, I think the mage named Aloisius just wants to get the Holy Seal, and doesn't seem to have much interest in our lives. ”
"But isn't it over for him to get St. Invalis, and our mission has failed!" said Magill, who was most concerned about his mission.
Stan turns back and motions for them to be quiet. "As long as your life is still alive, you have a chance to turn the tables, if you don't even have your life, what else can you do?"
"What is life worth compared to glory?" said Magill, his hands gripping the hilt of his sword as he moved.
Stan winks at Ulf and Tillin, who understand each other, standing on either side of Magill, ready to push him to the ground.
It was then that Aloisius finally finished laughing, coughed twice, and became serious again. "Okay, I'll say it one last time, Ramakhsh, give me the holy seal, and I'll spare you from dying, and if I get it, none of you will want to live. ”
The mages slowly moved closer to Ramahesh, knowing that the last moment was coming, except for a few archmages who still had their last composure and were ready to make a last-ditch effort.
Ramakhsh snorted softly. "Don't be too arrogant, Aloiseus, do you think the Mage Tower is empty?"
"Oh?" Aloiseus raised an eyebrow. "Oh, by the way, and Etiyès, I forgot to ask, why didn't he come to Serendra himself, was he afraid to face me? ”
"Look!" Ramakhsh suddenly shouted, straightened up, and quickly recited the incantation, the tent behind him fluttering to the sound of the incantation, as if a strong wind was blowing, but there was hardly any wind on the scene. The incantation stopped, and Ramakhsh's hands jerked out to either side, and the tent was suddenly torn to pieces by a force and fell to the ground. In the tent, there was a white whirlpool, the whirlpool was as tall as a man, and it kept spinning all the time, as if something was about to come out of it.
Aloisius had already guessed what it was, and he raised his hand to stop it, but he glanced at the pile of mages blocking in front of Ramakhsh, and still lowered his hand. "I see, it's okay, just let him come, I want to meet my old friend too. ”
Stan finally sees what's in the tent, but the vortex keeps him scratching his head. "What is this, and who is he that Aloiseus is talking about?"
Nerfi guessed why, too. "Enjoy it, and you'll know right away, we're saved. ”
Stan didn't ask any more questions, his eyes fixed on the swirling whirlpool, and at this moment, he suddenly remembered that the entrance to the source of magic was a similar vortex. "Is it ......," Stan muttered to himself.
The whirlpool grows faster and faster, and gradually, Stan feels that he sees another scene in the whirlpool, a completely different scene from the ruins, with a blurry image of the Mage Tower appearing in the middle of the whirlpool. "It's ...... Mage Tower?"
"That's right. Nerfi had confirmed her suspicions. "This vortex connects this place to the Mage Tower, and now you know why Etiesh didn't come with you on such an important mission, right?"
Stan snapped an oh. "He's been keeping an eye on the form here, and he's not going to show up until he has to, and now he's coming, from this maelstrom?"
Nerfi nodded. "Yes, this is no ordinary vortex, this is a portal, Ramahesh has been maintaining this portal, and for the sake of secrecy, he has not allowed anyone into the tent. ”
"That's great!" Stan regains confidence. "Let's turn defeat into victory!"
Nerfi still had a serious face. "Don't be so optimistic, look at Aloisius, he is not worried that Etiyesh will come. ”
Stan shrugged. "At least, it's better than not coming, otherwise we're now running out of options. ”
"Hmm. Nerfi replied softly, then stared intently at the whirlpool.
The image of the mage tower in the rapidly rotating whirlpool became clearer and clearer, and then suddenly a strong light flashed, making everyone subconsciously cover their eyes, and when everyone's eyesight recovered, the whirlpool disappeared, and in the original position of the whirlpool, an old mage stood there. The old mage was dressed in a pure white mage robe, his long silver hair was draped behind him, his beard on his chest was shorter than that of most archmages, he did not wear a mage hat, and his tall figure was not stiff because of his age. Etiyesh glanced around and fell on the great sage opposite. "Aloisius, I didn't expect that after many years, we would meet again in this way. ”
Aloisius sneered, "That's what you didn't expect, but I expected this goodbye a long time ago, Etiyesh, I wonder what the Mage Tower has achieved under your leadership?"
Etiyesh looked at Aloisius sternly. "You can't understand our cause, you have betrayed the light, and even more so you have betrayed yourself, you have tarnished the title of Great Sage, which is despised by all mages. ”
"Hahahaha!" Aloisius looked at Etiyesh with disdain. "What is your cause compared to the Lord of Darkness? What are you little reptiles? Kneel down before the Lord of Darkness, if you beg for mercy now, I can say a good word for you in front of the Lord of Darkness, and make your death more pleasant. ”
"Arrogant fellow, you don't know if you've been used by the Dark Lord?" Etiyesh took a few steps forward and reached Ramakhsh.
"Do you think I didn't think of that? As long as I have the Hallows, I can restrain the Dark Lord, I don't submit to him, I just use him and I use each other. Aloisius said coldly.
Etiyesh snorted. "Do you think the Dark Lord will agree to a mortal on his footing? ”
"Shut up!" exclaimed Aloisius. It's not something he's willing or not, it's something he has to accept. As he spoke, he slammed his right hand, and a black wind suddenly struck at Etiyesh.
Etiyèsz's right hand stretched out from the wide sleeve, palm forward, a white arc flashed, and the black wind was scattered in front of him. "A Great Sage can never defeat another Great Sage, and I'm sure you should understand that. ”
"Of course. The corners of Aloiseus' mouth curled. "But I'm more than just a great sage, and at the same time as signing a contract with the Dark Lord, I have gained more power than the great sage, otherwise why do you think I would let Ramahesh activate the portal and not stop him?"
Etiyèsz's face became serious, and he knew that the other party was not trying to intimidate him. "I think you must know the price of signing a contract with the Dark Lord. ”
"So what? As I said, we are using each other, and he doesn't dare to do anything to me. Aloisius raised his hand again, and this time, black accumulated in his hand, and a black whirlwind blew around him, and the light of the pillar of light was completely obscured.
"It's ......" Etiyesh lowered his body and raised his hands in front of his chest, ready to fend off the next attack.
