Harry Potter: Dimensional Wizard

Chapter 438: Survival Plan

Madara lay on his knees, gritting his teeth. His face was contorted, displaying the immense level of pain he was under. An invisible power restricted his movement, his Chakra was chaotic and uncontrollable, and his mind was fighting extremely hard.

"What's taken so long?" asked Set, holding a magical staff and casting spells to weaken Madara.

"I didn't expect his Willpower to be so strong," argued Sasha as she looked at the Command Seal showing up on her arm. The seal seemed to be in the process of becoming real, but it kept disappearing and reappearing.

"We don't have much time," added Set. "The situation is changing every second. We don't know when the Arcanist will show up."

"Do you think I don't know this?" she rebutted with gritted teeth. She focused on the mana inside her Magic Circuit to increase the intensity of her Magecraft. Unfortunately, Madara's Will resisted and refused to succumb to anyone.

"You can dream…of controlling…me," said the Ghost of the Uchiha with red eyes.

'Damnit, should I use the Lesser Command Seal?' thought Sasha. She chose the Fate/Zero's magic system of Master-Servant, which is essentially a branch of Summoner. Sasha can turn people into Heroic Spirits and summon them for battles.

However, this system has a significant flaw: servants have their own intelligence and will, so they can disobey their master's orders–unless the master uses a Command Seal.

Command Seals are absolute orders, but the master only has three. Knowing this, Sasha used a lot of points to have the Samsara Hall perfect this magic system for her, allowing her absolute control over her Heroic Spirit. Unfortunately, the process of subduing these spirits is not easy and is often resisted.

'If I use the Lesser Command Seal, I can only control Madara three times before he regains his freedom. The final result will be my death.'

Sasha chose otherwise and continued the process of subduing Madara. Suddenly, Set took out a vial with light blue liquid inside.

"You owe for this," he said before scattering the vial in front of Madara. A cloud of smoke emanated from the group and entered his body from his orifices. Madara tried to resist, but it was difficult for him to move.

Immediately afterward, Sasha felt the process was more manageable; it was as if Madara's Will had drastically decreased.

"Thank you," said Sasha, guessing how valuable this potion was.

"I spend months brewing this potion for a special weakness," said Set. "So, if we survive, you have to pay me back the material costs."

"No problem," replied Sasha, as she knew Set already gave her a discount since she did not have to pay for his labor cost. She swiftly controlled him and acquired a new powerful Heroic Spirit.

"Let's go," said Set before reuniting with Tobias, Michelle, and Kingsley–a black man with metal arms.

"Are you ready?" he asked Kingsley.

"Of course."

Set no longer wasted time and waved his staff. A space crack appeared above the sky as an enormous magic tower manifested.

"Your Tower looks better since the last time I saw you," commented Kingsley.

"Did you expect me not to improve," replied Set with side eyes as he led everyone inside. Only Tier 5 Arcanists–also called Demi-Gods in the World of Warcraft–can have a magic tower as grand as his. However, now that he entered Tier 6 and was basically a God, it's normal for his tower to improve.

"Sas… I mean, Aina, activate the Teleportation Gate and send us to the farthest planet from here. There is no limit to the energy use."

"Yes, master," explained a beautiful voice that sounded a lot like Commander Sasha. Everyone gave Set a weird look, but he ignored them; at least, it looked that way on the surface.

The group waited for a few seconds before hearing Aina's voice, "Master, the mission has failed."

"Reason?" asked Set.

"I have detected a powerful barrier surrounding the entire planet. All Spatial Activities are blocked."

"As expected," muttered Set, knowing it would not be that easy dealing with a Legendary Arcanist.

"We expected this outcome," said Tobias. "Isn't it this reason we brought Kingsley? As you combine your magical capabilities and his technology, we might have a chance at leaving the blockade."

"No need," said Set. "It will take too much time for us to work together and have any results."

Tobias knew he was correct, but this was the best plan he could come up with in such a short time. "Do you have a better way?"

"Yes, but you guys will owe me a lot of Points."

"How much are we talking about?" asked Michelle.

"Does that matter in the current situation?" countered Kingsley.

"It does."

"30,000 points," said Set.

"What? Are you insane?" asked Michelle. She has been in the Samsara for years but barely gathered such an amount. And she knew it was the same for the others.

"Do you think it is simple to overcome the blockage of a Tier 8 Arcanist?" said Set with a sneer. "And the only reason it's so cheap is that you guys only have to pay for the energy cost."

"What method do you have?" hurriedly asked Tobias, preventing everybody from getting too focused on the price; he did not want to waste time.

"I found a weapon created by the Titans." The Titans were one of the most powerful races in the World of Warcraft. They are colossal beings made of arcane energy and the primordial matter of the universe. Their understanding and control of arcane energy are beyond any mages or species in the universe.

So, as soon as the group heard this news, their eyes lit up.

"The weapon lacked energy, so I paid a lot of money to activate it."

"Fine, we will pay."

"Tobias," said Sasha and Michelle.

"30,000 points is not that much if we divide between the four of us. Plus, we don't really have a choice."

The two remained quiet and did not say another word.

"That's fine by me," added Kingsley; he only made the logical choice in this situation.

"Excellent. Sign these," nodded Set as he handed them two magical contracts.

"What is the second one for?"

"To prevent you guys from selling the news, I have a Titan Weapon," he said with a sneer and terrible killing intent, making the others tremble. They were only Tier 5 and had no resistance before Set. Adding his magic tower, they really had no hope if they fought him.

Without saying anything else, they signed the contract. Set nodded in satisfaction before ordering Aina to use the weapon to break through the blockade.

Then, they felt the surroundings shake.

"Aina, how is it?"

"We have succeeded and traveled 17.8 light years to the farthest planet in this star system."

"Excellent. Kingsley, get to work."

Kingsley exited the tower, and the first thing he noticed was a magical shield in the surrounding hundred kilometers that created a living environment for him. Although he did not need it, it was helpful.

Kingsley's fingers turned into tentacles that drilled into the floor. Then, the ground turned into metal. Furthermore, every second, more of the earth turned metallic. A few seconds later, something was rapidly being built.

"How long will it take?" asked Set as he walked out.

"The latest is 2 hours."

"Too slow."

"I chose the fastest spaceships with the least amount of time." His power system was called Technomancy, and he was a walking science and technology civilization. Using the matter of the planet, he can build a spaceship for them to escape and hide from the Arcanist.

"If I give you energy from the tower, can you speed up the time?"

"I have analyzed Arcane Energy and should have no problem," replied Kingsley.

"Then, how long will it take?"

"According to my calculation, if you give me all the energy in your tower, the process will take 15 minutes."

Set glanced at him, wondering how he knew such precise data about the energy in his tower.

"I can't give you all of it since I have to leave enough for operation." He did not waste time and granted Kingsley access to the energy pool. Of course, he had Aina monitor the latter to guarantee he did not drain him dry.

"How long will it take now?"

"45 minutes."

Set frowned, not satisfied with the time. He looked at Sasha and Michelle. "If you add their mana and curse energy, will it make a difference?"

"Mana is fine; the only problem is the amount of mana she possessed is too small. As for curse energy? It won't work since it is the product of negative human emotions. I have no data."

Sasha gritted her teeth after hearing this; she suddenly regretted not walking the normal Mage Path. So, although she was a Tier 5, no, a Tier 6 Magician, that's only because of Heroic Spirit. The amount of mana inside her Magic Circuit is barely on the level of Tier 3.

The group frowned, thinking of ways to accelerate the progress.

"What an interesting group," suddenly said a voice, scaring them. Then, their face pale when they saw a young man dressed in a magical robe with eyes as bright as the stars in the night.

'The Legendary Arcanist found us,' was the only thought echoing in their minds.
