Chapter 310: Entanglement

"So there's still this trick—"

After cleanly dispatching the three legendary 'Pit Fiends' and forcibly extracting their hearts, Li Mochen looked with full mockery and some helplessness through Hazel's 'Dragon's Sight' at the eight-story magic tower before him.

The 'freezing' of this demiplane was clearly not a true freezing, but an outer time stop and space stop, causing this demiplane to temporarily detach from the world they were in and the river of time.

This was an extremely powerful magic, difficult even for those 'gods' to complete alone. The opponent must have fixed this spell on the foundation of the magic tower, then used the stored energy within the tower to complete it, so that now even Li Mochen could do nothing against this magic tower.

This made him deeply regretful. That guy in the purple robe, only a fifteenth-level arcane mage, was protected to the death by a legendary lich and was also a disciple of a fifth-level legendary mage. Clearly, he was undoubtedly the mastermind behind the scenes, and killing him would certainly be right.

Then there was that legendary mage. Li Mochen also coveted his magic tower, as well as the divine artifacts and holy artifacts in his hands. And if it were another time and place, he might not have been able to kill him.

In this world, those knowledgeable and well-prepared legendary mages were beings capable of killing gods. The organization 'European Magic Association' had been recognized since the Greek era as a force capable of opposing the gods. The Supreme Council of this association had always had only twelve members, with strengths ranging from legendary fifth level to demigod.

And today, the Douglas Duncan he faced was undoubtedly unprepared.

But this outcome was barely within his acceptable range.

After all, the 'Time-Space Freeze' spell could not be unsealed from within; only a powerful external force could pull it back into the present world. This required immense energy. Taking this eight-story magic tower as a reference, at least four such towers would be needed, or a god would have to intervene.

So next, he first had to place a mark to ensure he could sense the location of this magic tower at any time, so that when his strength was sufficient in the future, he could come to kill and collect the spoils. Or if someone else tried to unseal the magic tower, he could come and interfere.

Then, he would throw this demiplane frozen by time-space force entirely into the Astral Plane.

—This could reduce the chance of it being discovered by other legendary powerhouses or demigods, and also put the opponent in a worse situation. The chaotic and狂暴 arcane energy in the Astral Plane was hard to extract and use. And the violent spatial storms and the true spiritual light projected by the stars could at any moment crush this demiplane along with the magic tower.

Unfortunately, the Calamity Fire Dragon Lady's mana was still not strong enough, and inside the magic tower there was also an 'Anchor of the World' tightly hooked to this world. Otherwise, he could even throw it deep into the Astral Plane, causing it to directly annihilate.

After Li Mochen finished all this, he also felt the fatigue arising from Hazel's body and the gradually depleted mana. After all, these were both 'physical labors' that consumed a large amount of arcane energy.

So he unhesitatingly left this space, traversing through space all the way, searching for the spatial coordinates set earlier, and heading back toward Atlanta.

At this moment, inside the eight-story magic tower, the legendary mage Douglas Duncan was looking with an unusually gloomy gaze at the recondensed planar membrane. He had once fixed the spell 'Eye of Truth' on himself, which was in no way inferior to the demigod-level 'Dragon's Sight', and even more powerful.

So now, even though he was in a place frozen in time and space, he could still glimpse some of the outside situation and knew his predicament.

"Teacher."

Richard Medici came to the side of the white-robed old man, apologizing respectfully and fearfully: "This time, I have implicated you."

He knew that his teacher had most likely lost, and lost badly; otherwise, he would not have directly activated the final defense strategy of this 'Douglas Magic Tower'.

And the existence that could reduce Douglas Duncan to such a miserable state was undoubtedly an extremely powerful being.

"You have indeed implicated me."

Although Douglas spoke bluntly, there was not much blame in his words, but rather full of curiosity.

"That lady, where did you provoke her from? Atlanta? Wielenstein?"

"It's Atlanta! The mission I reported to you."

Richard spoke with an attitude of telling everything: "According to the council's instructions, I was to kill that Andrew Li Wielenstein, or force Michelangelo Medici or Consul Wielenstein to come to the rescue. So after returning this time, I will appeal to the family and have the Medici Foundation compensate you for all your losses."

"Losses and such, I don't care much about. What I want to know now is the origin of that woman. It's very strange. I know that Consul guy has combat power close to or even equivalent to demigod level, and Michelangelo, though not a legendary, can reach that level under certain specific circumstances, even mastering divine authority. But aside from that, they should have no other demigod-level power."

Douglas fell into deep thought: "That flame just now seemed to be the unique Calamity Fire of the Calamity Fire Dragon Lady, a power that fuses calamity force with flame. And finally, the power that made my legendary spell lose control should be the divine authority of calamity and misfortune. But that does not belong to the Calamity Fire Dragon Lady. As early as the late period of the Twilight of the Gods, the divine authority possessed by the Calamity Dragon God was usurped by the Hohenstaufen family and has been hidden in their bloodline. Could it be that the Wielenstein family has produced a new demigod? No! It should be that someone stole the power of the Calamity Fire Dragon Lady and awakened the divine authority."

His eyes flashed with sharp light, containing a hint of awe, and he looked again at the void outside: "We are in big trouble, Richard. Your Medici family has stepped on a cactus."

This meant that behind this demigod-level dragon-blooded sorcerer, there was likely an extremely powerful being who had laid plans to scheme against the Calamity Fire Dragon Lady Adriana.

"I have realized that even without you saying it. That is a demigod wielding divine authority—"

Richard Medici smiled bitterly: "I hope my family and the Magic Association can quickly discover our coordinates."

"It's not hard to find our coordinates. Several of my allies on the Magic Council and those disciples are all magic masters with profound attainments in time-space magic. I have preserved magical coordinates with them. It should take at most a year or two for them to find us in the Astral Plane. The problem is after that—"

Douglas sighed: "I need to prepare some things to deal with that lady and the one behind her. In the coming time, you should stay here and cultivate. Below the sixth floor, I allow you to move freely. Richard, it's time for you to settle down and study hard. It would be best if you can reach level seventeen during the freeze period and help me control the magic arrays above the sixth floor. Otherwise, two years from now, we may both face death."
