Chapter 48 – The Fallen City of Steam

[Observer word launch in progress ……]

[You were keenly aware of the danger, released your defense magic in time, and survived the dangerous attack]

[You set out to find signs of the Witch, and you searched the city of Ellenson for a long time, and finally found the Witch in the ruins of the courtyard.]

There’s more going on in Allison than you can imagine.

[Goblins, Centaurs, Dogheads, Wraith Species, Sub-Dragon Species, Pureblood Demons …… those alien races that should have been far away from human cities and driven to the edge of the world, unbelievably appeared within the city of Ellenson]

[You even saw the army of orcs that should have been stopped at the border by the Church of God.]

[You made a snap decision to leave Allentown.]

There are limits to what an individual can do.

Even though Xu System’s talent was extraordinary, with ten times the magical power that surpassed that of a mage of the same rank, as well as having contracted a large number of elemental elves, at the end of the day, he was just an archmage.

Neither an Archmage nor a Sanctuary Wizard.

Much less a demigod with the power of a god.

There is no resistance to massive legions.

Thus, in the face of the wave of foreigners invading Ellenson, Department Xu acted very decisively and directly brought Krysia with him to rush far away.

Level 7 Magic – Chain Thunderstorm.

Level 7 Magic – Cthulhu Hurricane.

Level 7 Magic – Light Blade Maker Blink.

“Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! …… Shoo! Shoo!”

On the ruins of the collapsed and burning courtyard, the Xu system looked up into the blood-red somber sky and the hideous fey that were frantically emerging, wands stuttering to the ground as the elements roared.

In the space of a breath, raging and furious high level magic struck forward.

Lightning and storms intertwined, creating a wheel dance of light, easily annihilating countless foreigners as well as opening up paths to move forward.

Including the obstacles in the sky, all of them were purged and killed.

“The power of level 7 magic is indeed much stronger than level 5.”

The Xu system nodded slightly.

Satisfied with his new power after being promoted to Grand Wizard.

He glanced at the remnants of the slain fey, and without lingering too long, he once again unleashed a powerful wind magic, mobilizing the element of wind to wrap around him and Krysia.

Without any hesitation, he rushed straight into the high sky.

In the process.

A constant stream of flying demons hissed and attacked.

Instead, they were directly torn apart by the raging storm of magical power.

There were stronger demons that noticed the area, but the speeding gale was too swift, and they vanished out of the boundaries of the city of Ellenson before they could encircle them.

Incredibly fast.

……

[You have used a level 3 magic – Wind Wizardry.]

[You used level 5 magic – Wind Swiftness]

[You used level 5 magic – Earth’s Guardian]

[You used level 5 magic – Water Rapids]

[You used level 5 magic – Fire Charge]

[You used level 7 magic – Holy Light Blessing]

[You wave your wand and unleash the surging magical power in your body, your Wind Sentry has been strengthened and increased like never before]

[You were so fast with your windsurfing that you took Krysia out of Ellenson before the real encirclement was formed]

[You and the witch were successfully evacuated.]

The wind blowing in the face was no longer the hot wind that filled the air with destruction, but was refreshing and comfortable, a cool breeze that belonged to the normal world.

The Xu system controlled the wind elemental flight while doing so.

A look back at the city of Allentown.

What came into view was the light of the fire, somewhat blurred by the distance.

The crimson red color enveloped the city of steam, slowly eroding and gradually devouring it, little by little burning the prosperity to nothingness.

The huge and towering steam tower in the center of the city collapsed in a blaze of fire, sizzling and reddening from the flames and stirring up thousands of ashes.

The city where I’ve lived for ten years just fell.

The fall is ridiculous.

The fall was inexplicable.

“Just …… what has happened,” Xu Department whispered softly, his eyes flickering.

Honestly, regarding the matter of the fall of Ellenson City, Department Xu didn’t have a single thought.

“From the information I was previously informed of, the noble forces of Ellenson have always been committed to developing the city, so it’s clear that they are truly operating this city as a basic disk.”

“From a personal interest standpoint, they should be reluctant to give up Ellenson.”

“Even if one knows of a foreign invasion, one cannot be defenseless.”

“Unless–“

The Xu system paused, pondering, “There was something that made them have to abandon Ellenson City and had to choose to flee alone.”

What on earth could it be?

The Xu system was curious.

With the help of the observer’s words, he vaguely perceived, the essence that hid beneath the surface.

Therefore, the Xu system decided not to travel to the next city for the time being.

He was going to stay nearby and continue to observe the changes in Ellenson City to see what kind of changes would occur after the Fae had overrun the city.

“Earlier, I asked Krysia to procure supplies, and there are more than enough food and living supplies within the space ring, so even if we sleep out in the wild, we don’t need to worry about anything.”

The mind thinks this way.

Xu tied with Krysia and flew at high speed all the way until he met a small mountain before stopping.

It’s a long way from Ellenson City, but there are still some views to observe.

The reason why I chose this place.

It is necessary for risk prevention.

Even if there really was some subsequent change in Ellenson City, Department Xu would be able to take Krysia with him in time to evacuate by virtue of the distance advantage.

“Krysia, we’re going to be here for a while next.”

“I understand, Mentor.”

The young girl responded obediently.

After Xu System’s earlier treatment, all of the injuries on her body had healed and she had regained control of her body.

She took the initiative to step into the top of the hill, her striding feet flattening the green grass as those empty, lifeless eyes scanned from side to side, quickly locking onto a flat spot.

Push with both palms flat.

Magic release.

The whistling wind element shaved the lawn clean.

The bare, dry ground is just perfect for a resting place.

As for the Xu system, it had set up a large amount of alert magic nearby, and then flew high into the sky to check if the place was safe enough.

“……”

The girl gazed silently at the figure in the air.

Watch him fly away, watch him fly closer.

It wasn’t until the Xu system landed back on the ground that the girl with the long gray-silver hair averted her eyes, as if relieved of something, and refocused on the matter at hand.

[You realize there’s an ulterior motive behind the fall of the city]

[You decided to postpone your plans to move to a new city.]

[You searched for a closer place and stayed with the Witch, ready to witness the subsequent end of the city of Ellenson]

[Is it a machination of infighting among humans?]

[Is it the Church of God fighting with each other?]

[Or maybe it’s the strong rise of the foreigners that’s forcing humans to retreat?]

[A lot of confusion surfaces in your mind, suddenly leaving the city where you have lived for ten years makes you slightly uncomfortable, thankfully, you have the familiar witch by your side]

[She looks at you as you look at her]
