Chapter 877 -36: Crisis

“Can you handle it? No, you can’t!”

Link’s actions and gaze conveyed exactly that message.

The hurt wasn’t significant, but the insult was profound.

Lotson fully grasped Link’s meaning and gradually became enraged.

There’s a limit to what one can bear, and this was beyond it.

You can’t treat someone like this!

With his eyes bulging, Lotson glared fiercely at Link, so angry that his lips began to tremble.

But despite his fury, Lotson didn’t lash out. Instead, he closed his mouth, turned his head away, and acted as though he no longer wished to speak with Link.

Link smiled, unperturbed by Lotson’s performance, and seriously considered Lotson’s idea of “killing someone with a borrowed knife.”

If anyone else had proposed this idea, it would have seemed far-fetched.

The Great Sage Mitchell was already a Level Nine Great Sage, notoriously difficult to deal with.

Now, with the support of the Celestial Court and working on converting his practice in an attempt to ascend to the Saint Position, he was naturally even more challenging to confront.

However, since Lotson was the reincarnation of a Saint and had dared to conspire with the old-time Saint, the Ancestral Heavenly Master, the confidence he exuded when talking about this idea was unmistakable, and it was definitely not a bluff.

If it really came to “borrowing the knife,” or even Lotson wielding the knife himself against the Great Sage Mitchell, the chances of success were extremely high.

This was something Link strongly believed.

The reason he chose to “despise” Lotson in this manner was not that he genuinely looked down on Lotson’s ability to “borrow the knife” or wield it himself, but because he had other considerations.

The Wizard civilization, with the Supreme Council at its core and as its leader, placed great importance on the development of the Parallel Universe.

The Saint of Nostrodamus, who made a prophecy of a monumental change that hadn’t occurred in thousands of years, has reincarnated as Nostro Grande Lotson beside Link.

The first Wizard Forces dispatched to explore the Parallel Universe and secure a foothold were led by the Tower of the Great Sage Mitchell.

Now, the Level Nine Great Sages active in the Parallel Universe also revered the Great Sage Mitchell.

The current situation was that, with the Celestial Court of the divine civilization and the Supreme Council of the Wizard civilization abstaining from intervention, no force or individual could truly come to grips with the Great Sage Mitchell.

Under such circumstances and at such a critical juncture, any misfortune befalling the Great Sage Mitchell would be incredibly conspicuous.

Both the Celestial Court and the Supreme Council would surely involve themselves in an investigation.

At that time, Link did not believe that the traces of Lotson’s manipulation could remain undiscovered.

Indeed, there were different factions within both the Celestial Court and the Supreme Council, and Lotson was indeed capable of maneuvering between these factions, exploiting their disagreements for strategic gambles to obtain an exoneration.

However, if that happened, the favor Link owed to Lotson would be far too great.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Lotson had accepted the help of the Wizard World Will and had to do three things for it in return.

By securing that star from the Ancestor Heavenly Master, Lotson had also agreed to a condition.

If Link truly accepted Lotson’s help, whether to “kill someone with a borrowed knife” or wield the knife himself against the Great Sage Mitchell, what price would he pay?

After a moment of consideration, Link decisively rejected the idea.

There was another reason: Link only wanted to deal with the serious trouble soon to confront his wife, Jasmine, and had no desire to directly confront the Great Sage Mitchell.

The two were not on equal footing; self-preservation was manageable, but confrontation had no chance of success.

Link did not want to make himself a target.

Silence fell between them.

Link ignored Lotson, who had reverted to a “Metamorphosis Period” state of moodiness, and focused on hurrying along his journey to find the United Corps and his wife, Jasmine.

Feeling Link’s resolute attitude from his desperate hurry, Lotson stopped bringing up ideas of “borrowing a knife to kill” or “wielding the knife” himself.

He even seemed to forget about continuing to look for that beam of light.

The overall strength of the divine civilization was even superior to the Wizard civilization, and it occupied a slightly larger expanse of Star Territory.

Despite the advanced nature of the Starship Link was aboard, which enabled long durations of “curvature” mode-like travel at high speeds and used teleportation to shorten travel time, it would still take nearly two months to join forces with the Four Sects Legions.

Fortunately, Lotson did not remain petulant. Along the way, he informed Link that, according to his prophecy ability, there was plenty of time to travel, so there was no need for such haste.

Link had complete trust in Lotson’s prophecy ability.

Even though he knew there was time, not being anxious was just a facade.

And so, in a frenzied rush, Link arrived at the Front Line in the shortest possible time.

The Four Sects Legions had already received word from Link.

Among the other members of the Ravensmouth Academy Advance Team, only Dean Frist was aware that Link and Lotson were coming.

As Elise Clark was a major safeguard of Ravensmouth College’s interests in the Parallel Universe, naturally, she would not personally go to the Front Line.

Even if Elise herself was willing and Ravensmouth College had the inclination, the Supreme Council would not agree.

This alone revealed the Supreme Council’s completely different attitudes and uses for Link and Elise.

At the agreed time, in the agreed place.

Dean Frist, Jasmine, and Sage Serene received Link and Lotson.

Upon their arrival, before Link could even greet Jasmine, Lotson started acting up again, making a fuss.

Lotson looked sternly at Dean Frist and said, “You’re about to be in big trouble. That old boy Mitchell has sided with the Celestial Court and is about to complete his ascension in full form. Once he finishes his ascension, it’ll be time to settle the score with Ravensmouth College.”
