Chapter 246 - 245 Silent Attack

Chapter 246: Chapter 245 Silent Attack

Beneath the pitch-black night.

Elva and his two students stood atop towering stone pillars.

And below their feet, a massive stone dome fused into one.

These walls created by Spells encased the execution ground tightly, resembling a securely sealed massive stone coffin, trapping everything hopelessly within.

Inside, Ronald himself was currently dealing with the continuously thrusting stone spikes and waiting for the inevitable moment of retaliation.

On the other side, Elva’s expression was not looking too good.

His eyes, heavy, gazed down at the vast stone coffin he had created, which now seemed somewhat powerless against Ronald.

Using the vibrations passed through the stones, he could vaguely determine the opponent’s position and...

his own constantly shattered spikes.

Elva could not rashly conclude what Ronald’s current condition might be.

He somewhat hoped to compress the space with large walls completely and crush Ronald underground. But the weakness of his Spell was the fragility of the stone walls at creation, and Ronald was constantly destroying the newly created formations.

Such a headache...

Thinking this, Elva’s mood was quite dissatisfied.

The organization’s invitation was merely a coded letter, focusing on the intellectual and logical thinking test, having shown no malice. So why was Ronald’s attitude towards him so hostile?

Attacking his mansion after arriving in Springs...

Abducting his servant used for enhancing physical condition...

Even ambushing in a place like the execution grounds...

The organization’s secrecy was quite good; it didn’t make sense.

...

Such was Elva’s situation.

And behind him, his two students, who knew even less, now looked even more baffled.

They only knew that their mentor in front of them competed in Spells with the enemy below, but they knew nothing of the specifics, at most hearing faint sounds from under the stone pillars through small movements.

In such a situation, the two students were almost mere bystanders outside the battlefield.

After maintaining this deadlock for a while, Elva realized he could not properly handle Ronald who was surrounded by the stone coffin.

No matter how many stone spikes or pillars he summoned, this guy would detect and shatter them in time, achieving a delicate balance between the opponent’s defense and his own offense—it was now a matter of endurance.

However, how could someone of his age possibly outlast a young man?

"Ah—"

Frowning, Elva sighed.

Given the disparity between Ronald’s demonstrated abilities and the information provided by the organization, he had to figure out a solution himself.

Thinking this, he immediately turned to look at the two students behind him.

With a notably serious tone, Elva commanded them:

"Listen, both of you, head down to the ground."

"I’ll give you some instructions next, guiding you to a position right above the opponent. Then, take out your best Spells and launch a direct assault from above."

"Understood?"

"..."

Though Elva posed that final question,

his tone when issuing the command left absolutely no room for refusal, and his cold and steady eyes also confirmed his current attitude.

Could they even refuse?

Faced with this situation, the two students glanced at each other and then nodded tensely:

"I understand, Mr. Elva."

The students’ response perfectly matched Elva’s expectations.

Looking at them, though troubled, yet accepting his commands, he nodded in satisfaction and then returned his focus to manipulating his Spell again.

"""

The incantation was uttered, and thin stone slabs immediately jutted out sequentially downward from the towering stone pillar, extending directly to the top of the stone sarcophagus.

Thus forming a staircase for them to descend.

And these two students...

Despite not wanting to fight with an original text holder,

at the command of their mentor, they obediently went down.

Upon reaching the top of the sarcophagus, the instructions given by Elwa immediately became apparent.

This guy didn’t even need to speak; he simply summoned a change on the stone wall, immediately forming a beacon in front of the two students to indicate Ronald’s direction.

The two students exchanged glances and then followed the beacon forwards.

As the distance to Ronald closed, the students gradually became aware of the sounds coming from beneath their feet.

The muffled noises continuously emitted as Ronald destroyed the stone spikes,

telling them what was happening below.

Is this the battle between two original text holders?

Though it was their first time engaging in such a fight, it didn’t stop them from understanding the capabilities of both sides in the battle, the spells directly guided by the original texts were something ordinary casters couldn’t contend with.

Whether it be Ronald or Elwa replaced by either of them,

facing such an enemy, the outcome would only be them being effortlessly eliminated by the opponent.

Exchanging a tense look, the two students immediately prepared to take action.

One of them knelt on the ground, hands together just like during the day, while the other, looking somewhat nervous, tucked his left hand into his pocket and fiercely pinched something before he prepared to recite the spell.

After a final exchange of glances, confirming their partner was ready,

they simultaneously began to cast their spells.

Clang—

Snap, snap—

In an instant!

At a speed entirely too fast to react!

A sharp silver light pierced through the air, and then instantly swept across the bodies of the two!

And as a result,

they both fell to the ground together.

The spell was not even fully cast before they had completely lost consciousness, with no possibility of any further movement!

At the same time, noticing the scene on the ground,

Elwa, standing high upon the stone pillar, was caught off guard and stunned.

He was quite confident in his spell, convinced that he had detected everything happening around the stone wall.

However, the current result...

Right under his watch, the two students had simply fainted!

Who did this?

What spell was this?

What more did he not know about tonight!

Many questions flooded his mind, but the veteran spellcaster still understood what he needed to do now.

Instantly, the spell that was being activated underwent a transformation.

He swiftly raised the already high stone pillar further, elevating his own position by a few meters, and then Elwa’s sharp gaze started to scan the entire execution ground covered by night.

A silent stone sarcophagus surface showed no signs of any activity.

At the same time, the feedback from vibrations on the stone wall also indicated no other enemies were present.

Where?

This enemy invisible to the naked eye!
