I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 140 - 127: The Chaotic Southern District (Please Subscribe)

Luo’er also remembered the incident three years ago that shocked the entire Wizard Land and led to the downfall of the Spiritual Energy school; he could naturally understand Tic’s worries and couldn’t help but ask.

"Mr. Tic, what should we do now? If something really happened, I’m afraid it would be very difficult to do anything with just our strength..."

This was Helram’s stronghold after all. Not to mention anything else, this grand wizard alone was not someone they could contend with.

"Obviously, we don’t have to do anything!" Tic said concisely. "The Array has been set up for more than a day or two, and it shouldn’t cause any problems in a short time."

"Moreover, if I’m counting the days right, they should be arriving soon," Tic added.

"The specialists from those academic conferences?" Luo’er immediately realized what the other party was talking about; Clearly, Tic had deliberately used this opportunity to call for some reinforcements.

"Exactly." Tic waved his hand and dispelled the magic image in the void, revealing another piece of good news. "If I’m not mistaken, your teacher, Master August, should also be coming."

Upon hearing this news, a surge of excitement and joy flashed across Luo’er’s face, and his previous worry vanished in an instant. He said confidently, "Since teacher is also here, then I can rest assured."

"So, all we need to do now is wait, and hope that things go smoothly these days," Tic said calmly, stroking his beard.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Tic’s expression suddenly changed, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the South City district.

A strong ripple of magic power was transmitting from that direction.

Tic and Luo’er exchanged glances, cast a [Slow Fall Technique] upon themselves, and then leapt directly from the towering rooftop, sprinting towards the South City district.

There were many others who sensed the magic fluctuations; professors and students alike woke from their sleep, their hearts filled with unease as if some terrible disaster was approaching.

By the time Tic reached the South City district, he was met with a scene of chaos, with countless commoners, apprentices, and even wizards fleeing outwards in a frenzy.

Since it was deep into the night, many were in disarray, and some were even running naked, or being trampled underfoot by the stampeding crowd, their blood dyeing the streets red. The nauseating stench of blood permeated the air, making one want to vomit.

Cries and wails echoed throughout the South City district, sending chills down one’s spine.

"Mage’s Hand!" Seeing a disheveled woman knocked to the ground, about to die from being trampled, Tic quickly cast a spell to pull her out.

"Do you know what happened in the South City district?" Luo’er asked urgently.

"Dead, Alva is dead, and Anthony... everyone, everyone is dead!" The woman muttered blankly as if she couldn’t hear Luo’er’s question, repeating the same sentence over and over.

Seeing this, Tic could only reluctantly let go of her and leap onto a nearby rooftop using a spell, then he unleashed a Fireball Technique that lit up the entire South City district.

Immediately after, they both couldn’t help but gasp in shock; the streets of the entire South City district were littered with bodies. Tic saw with his own eyes several panicked commoners running in the distance, suddenly collapsing to the ground without warning, losing all signs of life. Shortly after, a faint blue light floated out from their bodies and surged straight into the ground.

"What is this…" Luo’er shuddered at the terrifying scene before him.

"The Soul Devouring Array!" Tic pronounced each word distinctly.

"We mustn’t let this thing continue to spread."

Tic spoke in a grave voice, stopping Philip and others who had just rushed over from the academy. After quickly explaining the situation, he gathered several wizards who had escaped from the southern district and began to inquire about the layout of buildings in that area.

"The nodes of the Array should be hidden in those abandoned houses. If we destroy the nodes on the perimeter, the Array should stop, but we need to act quickly," Tic urged, speaking rapidly. Every second we delayed could mean dozens of people dying.

Unlike Philip and others who had yet to witness the Array’s power, the wizards who escaped from the southern district refused to go back in. The place was too horrifying, and even a fully-fledged wizard couldn’t avoid having their soul ripped out.

"Where is Master Helram? Where is he?" someone in the crowd shouted.

Amidst such chaos in the harbor, the absence of Helram, who was in control, left everyone feeling anxious and fearful, as if they had lost their backbone.

"Master Helram left Yiyeta Harbor some time ago and went to Wizard City Greenriar," Philip explained hesitantly.

"Since the master isn’t here, if we want to quell the chaos in the southern district, we’ll have to rely on our own strength," Tic quickly picked up the conversation. He did not mention their previous speculations but looked toward the gathered wizards and continued.

"I believe you all have heard of the tragedy of the Spiritual Energy sect three years ago. If we do not stop this Array quickly, the entire harbor city will likely soon become a city of death… Think about it, everyone. We’re talking about tens of thousands of lives!"

Under Tic’s earnest persuasion, the majority of the wizards finally took action, still holding some attachment to Yiyeta Harbor.

As the nodes of the Array hidden in the southern district were destroyed, by the time dawn was just breaking, the Soul Devouring Array at last came to a halt.

Lynn had blended into the crowd amid the chaos in the southern district and helped destroy several internal nodes of the Array, contributing to the smooth resolution of the situation.

Not until the next afternoon did Tic, Luo’er, Philip, Kevin, and others settle down the distraught poor and return together to Yiyeta Academy to discuss further plans.

The chaotic situation was under control, but everyone’s expression was heavy with worry.

The total number of poor and wizards killed by the Array in the southern district likely amounted to thousands, a vast amount of Soul Power that represented a tremendous threat wherever it might be used.

Lynn sat in silence in the conference room, listening to the others’ discussions. Though he knew all the Soul Power had poured into the Tower of Whistling, creating a grandmaster-level resentful spirit,

The matter implicated the founder of the Yiyeta sect, Helram. Speaking out rashly could cause unnecessary suspicion and controversy.

After all, Lynn couldn’t explain why he was unaffected by the Soul Devouring Array, nor how he managed to kill a grandmaster wizard.

Since Yiyeta’s resentful spirit couldn’t leave the Tower of Whistling, it was best to wait for the council to send someone to deal with the issue.
