Magical Academy: Rise of the Supreme Magic Craftsman

Chapter 404 - Terub Race ( 4 )

Wallace has no idea why the Empire wanted to meet him. However, he's not foolish enough to follow them obediently and get himself captured inside the Imperial Flagship.

He trusts his abilities but there's still a limit on what he can do by himself.

Perhaps, if he's together with the Celestial, he wouldn't hesitate to agree with their request. This is at least what he thought after hearing it the first time.

Bam!

The Terub's aura collided with his  Mana Shell and it created a disturbance in the surroundings.

'Tsk… So strong. Just what kind of power is this?!' Wallace grumbled in frustration. 

Just the aura of the alien can already put pressure on any individual and if you're probably any weaker, you wouldn't be able to survive just by getting near him.

Nevertheless, Wallace managed to endure the Terub's incredible presence by circulating his Astral Energy. 

The young man realized that this Empyrean Guard is now being serious. Their brief exchange in outer space wasn't anywhere near to the power they are showing right now.

[ No records about their source of power. Failed to analyze the target's source of energy. ] 

[ Recommended to directly use Divine Sense on Terub and learn their physical and spiritual qualities. ]

Avalon suddenly said after being unable to probably gauge the Terub's power. 

Wallace did as suggested and use his Divine Sense on the armored being.

Hmph!

As expected, a powerful being can somehow sense the Divine Sense even though they can't see or touch it.

Wallace only managed to confirm the qualities of the Terub's armor before he was interrupted by the Terub's punch.

Whoosh!

He managed to dodge the strike but he can tell the power behind that punch… If it hit the ground, the surrounding place would probably turn to dust.

'At the very least, the Terub doesn't have the mysterious Death Energy.'

Wallace thought after considering his current situation. He's lucky that he's only facing one of the Terubs so he can put all of his attention to him.

Apparently, the alien can only manipulate that intimidating aura aside from possessing unexplainable strength that not even Mech Frames could attain using the latest technology they have. 

'That armor… It's not a simple Bio-Armor as well…' Wallace commented. Though his Divine Sense was unable to penetrate the armor, he at least realized that this armor is specially made to increase the power of their killing aura aside from boosting their strength and defense. 

'He doesn't have any weapons and only relying on his physical qualities. Completely different from the imperial soldiers and the Khrusams…'

"I have no choice but to take you by force…" The Terub said as he opened his huge palm to grasp Wallace's head.

'Tsk! You're obviously trying to kill me with that strength!' Wallace thought after seeing the Terub's hand covered with a powerful aura.

His skull would probably be popped off if the alien truly managed to grab his head.

Void Phase…

He vanished and appeared not too far from Terub. He wanted a distance that was enough for the alien to see where he reappeared. 

After all, he wanted to keep the alien's focus on him and let the others escape without worries. 

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The Terub Race and Wallace appear to be playing tag as he continuously avoided the alien while the latter chases him endlessly.

The alien doesn't seem to be getting tired!

On the other hand, Wallace is spending a lot of energy when he's using his Void Phase. This is not a good sign… If this continues, he would end up getting exhausted and defeated.

Luckily, most of the magicians are already at the last line of defense as they were safely retreating together with the allied forces. He just has to wait for a few more minutes and he should be able to retreat as well. 

As for the Bio-Armored Imperial Soldiers, they seem to have set a distance to where they can chase the magicians. They appear to be afraid of getting too far from the spaceships.

Anyway, he couldn't blame them for that since their Blaze Spaceship is still going strong and giving them a hard time. 

Although that Battleship is also meant in space, it was still mainly designed to be used here on the planet. It has a huge Mana Gathering Array that essentially allows it to have an unending supply of Mana as long as it wasn't interrupted by external factors. Perhaps, it could also be ineffective if they were in the Northern Continent where mana is quite violent and couldn't easily be controlled even with Adept Link.

However, they are in the Stella Region of Zairus. There is plenty of mana in the surroundings and they wouldn't experience any shortage of mana yet.

After all, even if their gathering array was no longer effective, the battleship still possesses many Mana Stones to supply it with energy.

"Hmmm… I've already analyzed your strength. Let's end this. You'll be coming with me."

Wallace heard the alien as soon as he reappeared about 50 meters away from him. It seems that he's about to get serious.

He glanced at the Terub who should be far away from him but he suddenly felt a presence behind him! 

'Tsk! He's just faking his previous speed.'

He didn't have enough time to reactivate his Void Phase so he covered his body with Mana… He then clenched his fist and waved his hand behind him.

Whoosshh!

He didn't hit anything! He only saw a silhouette of the Terub as the alien reappeared in front of him!

'So fast!'

Bam!

Wallace was hit on his body but he managed to endure it. As a matter of fact, he had also hit the Terub's arm that punched him… It was an Echo Blast!

It is his best mana spell to defeat any armored individuals. 

Anyway, these quick actions were thanks to his Physical Burst and Brain Burst as he managed to see everything so clearly and avoid getting heavily damaged at the last moment.

"You've surprised me… I guess I'll disobey the orders this time. You won't be coming to me. I'll kill you now."

The Terub said in a low voice as he finally realized the threat of this young man. 

The beings in the galaxy that could follow the serious movements of a Terub could only be counted in one hand. However, this young man didn't just manage to see his last movements but also managed to counter-attack although it was negligible.
