Advent of the Archmage Chapter 545

Glen Heights

A day passed quickly . The next morning, the people of Glen Heights woke up as usual . They started up their stoves to make breakfast . Soon, plumes of smoke mixed with the white fog of the mountain air .

Woof, woof! Some dogs barked from town entrance, meaning that strangers had entered again . But the barking quickly died down, which meant that the strangers were ordinary . There wasn't anything abnormal on the surface .

This seemed to be the case .

At the entrance, an ox-driven cart carried seven or eight foreigners into Glen Heights . There were both men and women with worn clothing and tired faces . They also had some very crude metal weapons at their waists .

This type of group was extremely common in Glen Heights . They were mercenaries who wanted to change their lives . They would enter the southern jungle to try their luck at collecting valuable goods like rare and pretty birds, valuable herbs, furs, and more .

On average, 30 in every 100 mercenaries would die in the jungle . Of the other 70, more than 60 would only make enough to survive . The remaining few would earn much more in comparison . There would also be one lucky guy who could make a fortune .

These mercenaries were dressed poorly . The people and dogs of the village were used to people like them and didn't even spare them an extra glance .

After entering Glen Heights, the mercenaries got off the cart . They would usually find somewhere in the village to rest, eat a meal, and enter the forest after refreshing themselves .

There was a woman amongst this group; she looked to be around 30 years old . Her features were plain, her body was fat, and her greasy long hair was piled carelessly on her head . She held two axes and wore ragged leather armor . She joked around with the mercenaries, vulgar words streaming out of her mouth .

The woman walked with the mercenaries down the road . When she passed a small building, she glanced over casually and then continued walking .

Everything looked normal .

The small building they'd passed by had a large yard . This was where Ethereal Prince Haromed hid . Link's group was observing the mercenaries in the yard .

"This is the third group of mercenaries this morning," Link whispered . "Evelina, do you think that woman looks like Ariel?"

Evelina shook her head without thinking . "No way . Arial is a noble elfin princess . She would never make herself look that ugly . Look at her hair . It looks as disgusting as a piece of turd . "

Celine shook her head too . "I don't think so either . She's probably just a regular mercenary . "

"Should we test her?" Eliard asked .

As soon as he finished, Evelina pointed at the female mercenary and uttered, "Go!"

A thumb-sized pebble flew up from the ground and whooshed toward the back of the woman's head . It was as fast as lightning . If the woman was hit, her head would explode, and she would die .

Half a second later, the pebble had crossed 1000 feet and was at the mercenary's head, but she was still clueless . She was joking with a man beside her and even reached out to hit him . The man laughed and jumped to the side with a sleazy expression .

In the last instant, Evelina stopped the pebble . By that time, it almost touched the woman's hair . Without the power's support, the pebble dropped the ground . Hearing the sound, the woman finally realized something . She turned around in confusion . Seeing that nothing was wrong, she hurried to catch up with her friends .

"A regular person," Evelina said .

During this entire process, Link didn't see any sign of pretense either . The woman had acted naturally . She was just a low-class female mercenary .

"Indeed," Link replied a bit belatedly . He wasn't suspecting the woman . He just felt that something was wrong, but when he thought carefully, he couldn't pinpoint it .

After thinking some more, he could only say, "Alright, no need to keep looking . Ariel has most likely already gotten here . We just can't find her right now… No need to purposely look for her . Let's just be prepared . "

Ariel was at Level-10 while Link was Level-11 . He had the upper hand in terms of power . Paired with Evelina's help, if they were prepared enough, Ariel wouldn't be able to change things even if she tried .

The four nodded and returned to the wooden building .

There was a very wide basement in this building with a long-distance portal seal . Link believed that Haromed would most likely come out of that .

Before, they wanted to keep Haromed from escaping, so they only had to guard against a one-sided attack . Now, they also had to guard against Ariel's sneak attacks from the outside . Thus, they had to add a powerful outer defensive spell too .

They got to work immediately .

In the basement, Link was responsible for the core construction . Evelina took care of the refinement while Eliard assisted, learning as he went . Celine was in charge of surveillance outside .

The three Magicians worked together and progressed quickly . Within two hours, they added a sturdy spatial defensive seal outside the imprisonment seal outside the portal seal .

Once this seal started running, it could block all attacks from spells under Level-12 . With this insurance, they shouldn't have to worry about Ariel . Despite this, Link's anxiousness still wasn't reduced . This time, he didn't express it, but he kept his guard up .

After the seal was completed, everyone became free . They rested alone in the building, replenishing their energy . After around three hours, Link's eyes flew open .

"Get ready! He's coming!" He could feel the space vibrating in the basement . The ground shook as well, with soft creaks . This was a sign of a long-distance spatial seal operating .

Everyone was shocked .

"Evelina, activate the spatial imprisonment seal when he appears . "

"Got it . "

"Eliard, get a good position . If anything happens, activate this runestone for an energy flood and kill him!"

This rune took a lot of work and resources . It was the product of many Ferde Magicians working together . There was only one currently . It could activate a Level-13 energy flood for emergencies .

"I understand . " Eliard took the runestone and stood in the predetermined spot .

"Celine, stand here . When the magic seal is activated, a strong shield will appear around you . The magic waves that appear after that might disturb your vision, but you must hold tight . Wait until the shield stabilizes before shooting . You must hit the Ethereal prince!"

"Don't worry . Leave it to me!" Celine's expression was serious . Grasping the big fire gun, she stood in her spot . Link had specifically modified the space here . She could see others, but others couldn't see her . It was the safest place in the entire building .

They'd all practiced this many times before and they got into position within half a second now .

The spatial waves in the basement strengthened . Link didn't do anything in order to not alert Haromed . As soon as the man appeared, Link would make a fatal attack to his physical body!

Link also took out the Ethereal-catching weapon .

Nothing unexpected had happened up to now . After two seconds, there was a flash of silver-white light above the magic seal in the basement . It expanded to around five feet wide, turning into a door .

They could see the scenery on the other side through the door . It seemed to be a big black castle . Link was shocked at this; he recognized it . It was Shadow Walker Morpheus' hideout—the Palace of Darkness .

The door remained for half a second, and a person walked out .

This guy was dressed in a gray-white robe and hood . His entire body was covered . As soon as he appeared, Evelina mouthed to Link, "It's him . "

This was Haromed, the Ethereal prince .

The moment he walked out, a message flashed past Link's vision . He'd completed the mission of finding the Ethereal prince and received a Moon Stone .

Another mission appeared at the same time . He stole a glance and saw that it was to kill the Ethereal prince . He immediately accepted it .

On the other hand, Evelina had acted without hesitation . Her Dragon Power rushed into the magic seal . Countless magical runes overlapped under her foot and illuminated, spreading . Within one-hundredth of a second, the entire space was filled with runes .

They were like anchors that nailed the space down . Affected by the spell, the door behind the Ethereal prince flashed and went out like a candle in the wind . It abandoned Haromed in the death trap Link's group had set for him .

At the same time, a Level-12 spatial barrier over three feet thick shot up outside the imprisonment seal . It blocked everything that happened inside this building .

Up to this point, everything had gone smoothly according to plan . But for some reason, the unrest in Link's heart strengthened . It practically hindered him from casting spells normally . He couldn't attack the Ethereal prince under this situation, so he walked to Celine's side for protection .

Almost simultaneously, he saw a dark green wooden sword gradually appear in the air behind Celine . It was so secretive and subtle, hiding all murderous intent . It was like a shadow hunter hidden in the sea of space .

The sword's appearance was very unique . Its body was dark green and so thin it looked like a large sewing needle . If tossed onto the street, people would think it was a thin rusted rod .

Seeing this, Link's heart jumped . Oh no, it's a World Impaler!
