I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 178 - 165 Praise the Great Elemental Spirits! (Please Subscribe)

Aiden whispered a few commands and then attempted to slip away, but when he looked towards the main entrance, he was shocked to discover that a number of red-robed Wizards had already blocked all the exits.

"Before we officially pray to the spirits of the elements, there’s one more issue that needs resolving!" the Wizard on the high platform suddenly spoke in a cold voice, halting his speech. "Our manor has been infiltrated by a few rats sent by the Council, foes of the spirits of the elements, acolytes of doom—they will destroy everything we’ve worked so hard to create..."

At this, all the Wizards in the hall turned their heads around, shouting incessantly.

"Where are those damn guys?"

"I’m going to tear them apart!", "For the spirits of the elements!"

The crowd was passionately agitated, yet they could not locate the enemy; they even began to suspect and attack each other.

Aiden, hiding in the shadows, was sweating profusely. He couldn’t be sure if they had truly seen through his Concealment Technique, or if they were merely bluffing to lure them out.

With at least three hundred Wizards in the hall, a direct confrontation was impossible. Aiden’s gaze darted around, settling on the direction of the windows.

At that moment, the red-robed Wizard on the high platform took out a strange statue from his chest. It was entirely black but emitted a blue, ghostly glow on the surface. The light grew brighter and soon enveloped the entire hall.

This is bad!

Aiden suddenly saw the Wizard on the high platform directing his gaze towards his hiding spot. Sensing trouble, he immediately bolted from his hiding place, breaking free from the shadows, and dashed towards the nearest window ledge.

His colleague then unleashed a magic spell that had been charged and ready to cast.

Third-level spell—Fiery Torrent!

Flames blazed in the hall, rushing towards the Wizards of the doomsday sect, but were quickly blocked by a rising magic barrier. Explore stories at novelbuddy

The next moment, the irritated Wizards retaliated. Dozens of ice and fire spells tore apart the marshal left behind to cover their retreat, shredding him to pieces almost instantly.

Listening to the explosions, hisses, and screams from behind, Aiden’s heart bled unwillingly, but he didn’t pause for even a moment, his steps even quicker. He could think of nothing else but escaping to spread the news—that was the most crucial thing now.

With the brief time bought by his colleague’s sacrifice, he was now only two or three meters from the nearest window ledge.

However, at that moment, the red-robed Wizard, who had been watching the scene, finally made his move!

Aiden’s heart pounded fiercely, feeling as though he had fallen into an ice cave. He could sense a powerful presence locking onto him.

"Do you think you can escape?"

"Before the great spirits of the elements, shadows cannot shelter you!"

The red-robed man stretched out his right hand, and in an instant, a gigantic fire whip, over ten meters long, appeared out of nowhere, striking Aiden hard on his back.

Bang!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the Mage Shield protecting him shattered in an instant. Aiden was struck as if by lightning, feeling as if his spine had been broken in two. He fell out of the shadows’ protection and tumbled to the ground, rolling over in pain.

"Cough cough~" Aiden spat out a mouthful of blood, supporting his body with his hands as he struggled to stand. Clenching his teeth, he endured the pain wracking his body and looked up with alarm at the Wizard in the red robe before him.

With a casual strike, the Wizard had shattered his shadow and destroyed the Mage Shield, suggesting that his adversary might very well be a powerful Wizard!

Yet in all of Wizard Land, there were no more than thirty such powerful Wizards, and he had seen every one of them; not one bore the name of this opponent!

Aware that escape was hopeless, Aiden gave up the futile effort and snarled, "You lunatics are on a path to self-destruction! Even if you kill me now, the council will notice before long. You don’t have to wait for doomsday, Lord August will soon send all of you to meet your elemental spirits!"

"Is that so?" A sneer of sarcasm and mockery appeared on the face of the red-robed Wizard, who then turned to the witch who had previously contradicted him, and said teasingly, "Siya, it’s up to you to finish him off."

The witch named Siya trembled, constantly wanting to back away, clearly without the nerve to do so, but the Wizards beside her pushed her to the front.

Aiden looked at the shaking witch who had stepped before him, and a twinge of anger ignited in his heart.

During his investigation of the Doomsday Cult, he had gathered information on many of its members. This witch named Siya was apparently still an apprentice who had joined not long ago. He hadn’t expected them to go to such extremes, ready to use his life as a means to coerce others into pledging allegiance.

Such were Aiden’s thoughts, but in the next moment, his face showed only horror.

The red-robed Wizard raised an eerie statue high, shouting maliciously.

"Feel the power granted to you by the elemental spirits!"

A red light emanated from between the statue’s eyes and immediately enveloped the hesitating Siya.

The witch felt as though something had been forcibly stuffed into her mind, and then the magic power within her stirred and was rapidly drained.

Within a second, a flame rose from her palm, condensing into a fireball the size of a human head. Siya could even sense the violent power contained within.

This was not the first-ring Fireball Technique but the more powerful second-ring Flame Burst Skill!

Although the Flame Burst Skill she released was slightly smaller than usual, Siya didn’t care; she was completely overtaken by excitement.

As an apprentice, she had managed to cast such a powerful second-ring spell, clearly the result of the great power gifted by the elemental spirits.

"Praise the great elemental spirits!" Siya shouted excitedly, her heart free of doubt and without hesitation, she hurled the raging fireball at the terrified Aiden.

"Praise the great elemental spirits!" Amidst the explosion, scattered remains, and flames, the Wizards in the hall also fervently echoed the cry, utterly convinced in the inevitability of the impending doomsday.

They must compel all Wizards to abandon the notion of enslaving the elements. By correcting this mistake and praying for atonement to the great elemental spirits, every individual could earn Their favor and be granted even greater power!

The red-robed Wizard watched all this satisfied, the statue in his hands having closed its eyes, as if chewing on something.

"Let us begin today’s prayer ceremony!"
