Chapter 287 Rescue Operation ( 4 )
The young man's glowing eyes weren't just some sort of decoration. It is an indication that his Mystic Eye has activated and from the looks of it, these eyes were capable of unlocking the door or perhaps removing the Formation Art on it!
They didn't question the young man as they allowed him to work on it. They don't want to empty their mana reserves after all. They haven't completely escaped yet and preserving every bit of their strength is necessary.
"I need some time to open this up… The mana formation is too complicated. It will burn me alive if I made a mistake. I need 15 minutes… No, maybe 10 minutes… Should we find another way?" The young man said as he looked at the people gathering behind him.
He then noticed Ceri shaking her head.
"But I won't have my mana after completing this…" The young man wryly smiled as he felt that he would be left behind once he successfully opened the door.
"Don't worry… We'll bring you along."
"I can carry you so it should be just fine."
"That's right… We will not leave you."
Before Millie and Ceri could even reply, the others already reassured the young man.
"Alright! I'll work now. My name is Cedric Schuman! Once I opened the door. I will rely on you guys."
As soon as he finished introducing himself, he immediately worked on dismantling the Formation Art engraved at the reinforced door.
'Schuman family, huh… They were a family of merchants and were known for their many humanitarian acts. I guess the rumors about their family are true…' Ceri thought as she was able to recognize the Schuman Family.
Soon, everyone started calming down as they decided to accumulate their mana while waiting.
It seems that they have arrived in a land with rich mana. Considering that there were thousands of them here, they should only get a little bit of mana within their cores. However, the amount of mana they could accumulate was a lot better than they were in the Tudor Kingdom!
Just from this comparison, one would easily realize that this new continent is several times better than their previous land!
"Aaaarrgghhhhh!"
As everyone was trying to concentrate, the cries of the unique barbarians can be heard outside… Furthermore, it wasn't just one of them! The three tattooed barbarians seem to have encountered a powerful creature as they cried in pain!
Unfortunately, none of them could tell what was going on. Even Ceri wasn't sure about the situation outside but at the very least, she can tell that the ambushers of their flying ship were still outside.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
They then heard the barbarians running away from the ship as they seem to be planning to chase the enemies that took down their flying ships.
After about 12 minutes of dismantling, Cedric finally completed his task…
"The door can now be opened… Just use a bit of force since the door is quite heavy. There shouldn't be any traps or formation art stopping you. Ugh… I'm tired."
Cedric said as he felt drained. Using his Mystic Eye for this task wasn't really suited for him. Unfortunately, he has to take this risk since they were pressed for time.
Luckily, the others were true to their words as someone immediately helped him up…
Though he needed to rest, he doesn't have that much time.
"I have to rest my eyes for a while… Thanks for carrying me." Cedric said as he looked at the buffed guy who was helping him.
"No problem, Cedric. Thank you for opening this door. I hope that we won't encounter too much trouble. Some guys seem to be causing chaos outside."
"Yeah… I hope they can buy us a bit more time."
As the two were hoping for the best, Ceri finally opened the door…
She immediately assessed the situation and confirmed that a battle is going on right now! There were people who were flying while fighting against the Barbarians while someone in the forest nearby seem to be dealing with the tattooed barbarians!
"It's an opportunity! Just think of escaping! I can only feel six foreign energy fluctuations fighting the barbarians. There's no way to win this! Just escape!"
Ceri shouted to everyone so they know the situation.
Hearing that only six people were dealing with the barbarians, none of them felt impressed at all. Instead, they immediately acted in a hurry as they know that those six will probably be defeated anytime by now.
Even if those six were all Grand Magus at the level of the Royal Teacher of the Tudor Kingdom, there was no way they could win against this many barbarians who had incredible resistance against Mana Arts and Martial Techniques.
Perhaps, they could kill a thousand normal barbarians but there are still many Barbarian Kings among them!
The other flying ships were also in a similar situation as they tried escaping after getting out. They were actually quite lucky since unlike them that has to dismantle the door's formation arts, they just used a huge crack on the ship as a path to escape.
Although only 2 people can pass through at the same time, they were doing it incredibly fast as they started recovering their mana.
Soon, a small group started heading in the direction of the waterfalls toward the south. Some headed to the forest and some decided to be brave and run to the lake.
Those who wanted to escape to the lake were probably Mana Practitioners with high mastery of Water Elements and they most likely have techniques that could allow them to survive underwater.
Bang!
An explosion followed by a shockwave disrupted Ceri and her group's movement…
They just saw a tattooed Barbarian being thrown by almost 500 meters after being struck by something!
It was the same immovable barbarian that killed their Sect Master!
This incredibly heavy and bulky barbarian crashed into the path they were planning to take.
It was already heavily injured as its body was full of cuts and bruises… The barbarian is already dying at this point!
They have finally realized that those who had ambushed these mighty beings weren't just messing around!
