Chumo, Thrax, and Julian all left hurriedly to carry out their own tasks. With the limited ti ticking, Ery could only put his trust in them and hoped none got hurt.
Grand Magus Aurora was also ready to leave the Magus Academy, returning to the Light Institute to guard the God Crystal.
Before she left, the female grand magus gave Ery a silver emblem with a wing pattern engraved on it.
"This item represents my authority, you will need this for your task today."
After saying those words, she proceeded to leave without giving any detail or instruction regarding the item, leaving Ery at a loss as to what to do with it. Still, he kept the emblem safely.
With the ti he had left, Ery still had two major tasks that needed to be dealt with.
One was to go toward Zodiac City and convince the Supre Commander about the impending attack. Two was to find out exactly how the elves were going to infiltrate the academy to get Magister Griffith's attention and stop it from happening.
Ery anxiously tried to search his mory to find the answer and finally what appeared to be the last pieces of the puzzle flash into his mind.
The recall spell.
Ery was distraught thinking about why he had not rembered this sooner.
This was most likely the answer to how the elves had managed to infiltrate the academy.
Not only was it cast through the academy made seal he had on his palm, the timing of the recall spell was very coincidental with the academy's invasion.
"Did they use the academy's recall spell to enter the academy? Is that even possible?"
Hearing about the matter Klea added what she knew about the spell
"The academy recall spell is not a simple spell at all. It's a tier 9 spell that requires ample preparation and supporting high grade artifacts."
"We need to bring this information to the Magister right away!"
Unfortunately with the limited ti, Ery couldn't help but hesitate, the matter with the supre commander needed to be handled right away.
As if knowing what Ery was thinking through his facial expression, Klea quickly made a suggestion for the dilemma he had.
"If anyone can convince the Supre Commander, it's you Ery. Especially with the tense situation between humans and half-bloods that is currently going on. You are, after all, a hero in their eyes right now."
With this line of thought, Klea volunteered to be the one who would find out and solve the issue in the academy with the magister. That way, Ery would be able to go and convince the Supre Commander without any worries.
Klea further convinced Ery she would call the help of Sigurd's master, Anas, and the Kaleos acolytes to help observe the situation. In the anti, she herself would seek more information on the academy's recall spell.
They needed to find out how the recall spell actually worked, or any other way that could allow thousands of elves to pass through the Magus Academy's defenses without being detected, so they could convince the magister afterward.
"Just leave it to , Ery." She said reassuringly. "I will definitely find out about this and convince the magister with the answer."
Ery still seed reluctant to hand over this task to Klea. Seeing this, the latter pushed the forr while saying,
"You should go now. Don't waste any more ti! If you are that worried, then finish your task quickly and co back to help !"
The last sentence she spoke finally convinced Ery. Holding her hand, he looked into her eyes and said, "I will return as soon as i can… If… if things go south I need you to stay away from the fight… stay safe."
The girl replied with a nod and not to waste any more seconds Ery quickly created a [Spatial Gate] that would bring him to the Magus Academy teleportation gate.
But then, he was stopped in his tracks when he reached the highly-guarded teleportation gate. One of the guards rejects his choice of destination.
"It is currently prohibited to enter Zodiac City!"
Ery completely forgot about the lockdown and, without a doubt, he would only waste more ti to return and seek official permission from Magister Griffith.
As his mind was at a loss as to what to do, an idea suddenly ca to him. Thinking there was no harm in trying, he went ahead and took out the emblem Grand Magus Aurora had given him.
Showing the emblem to the guards, he said in a confident manner, "I am Grand Magus Aurora's envoy. Open access to the teleportation gate, I must enter Zodiac City right now!"
Unexpectedly, this impromptu idea of his work. The emblem proved to be extrely effective as the guards swiftly opened a path for him and even let him cut through the crowd to use the teleportation gate.
One step into the portal and he arrived in Zodiac City the next second.
As soon as he arrived on the other side, Ery was greeted with many agitated looks as dozens of half-blood warriors guarding the teleportation gate all had their weapons drawn.
"Who are you? State your purpose here!"
Fortunately, thanks to his status as one of only two half-blood finalists at the tournant, Ery was quickly recognized by these people.
"Isn't that Ery Ambrose?!"
"That's the savage acolyte!"
"Why is he here?"
A magus-level half-blood captain walked up to him, inquiring about his purpose for coming here. However, before he could say anything, their attention was distracted by loud bangs in the air, which were followed by strong wind, earth shattering tremors, and volatile fluctuations of spirit energy.
There must have been a fight going on not far away and, from how intense the spirit energy was, the participants were at least grand magus.
The captain said, "The city is not safe, you should not have co here."
"I bring important ssage, I need to see the Supre Commander"
Not waiting for an answer, Ery cast his [Anti-gravity] spell in combination with his [Light Wing] before his figure shot up into the sky.
He quickly noticed the two Magus Alliance warships that were supposed to be in orbit were actually hovering above the city and to his surprise was shooting bombardnt to the ground while being attacked by three huge dragons.
"No! What is going on here?!"
Ery was shocked to see what lied in front of him, he didn't realize things would escalate this far. It was an all-out battle between Zodiac city against the Magus Alliance.
