My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 241 Forbidden Spell: Falling from the Sky
Mainland Chinese Historical Society, Isfar Branch.

The branch building that was originally above ground has now been reduced to only the third floor above ground thanks to the operation of the mechanical structure.

Through the installed one-way mirror, the members of the society, who were already trapped inside the branch, were still waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

"President, is someone coming from outside?"

“No.” Branch President Is shook his head: “Although we did detect magical fluctuations and the sounds of battle not long ago, it is clear that reinforcements did not arrive here immediately.”

Is said with a wry smile, "That's right. Not long after the discovery of cognitive pollution in the ordinary communication frequency band, the Sky Ring overloaded the shield system. The garrison reacted quite quickly."

"It's a pity that this also makes it impossible for us to use our protected communication methods."

"The headquarters doesn't even know if the message, which was barely sent out, has been received."

"But judging from the current situation, the fact that they didn't come to us immediately suggests that they are not reinforcements from the Academy, but rather from the Empire."

As he spoke, Is looked at his subordinates and said, "By the way, have you kept all the documents that General Landros left here before he left safe?"

"They've all been categorized and stored away. All the unclassified documents from the entire military headquarters have been sent over."

"The classified documents were kept in an encrypted storage device that cannot be opened without a specific key. I put them in a separate safe."

Is nodded: "How much food does the Academy have left? How is the jamming device working? What is the situation with the refugees they've taken in?"

"The food reserves are quite plentiful. Thanks to your paranoia, Chairman, the food stored in the branch warehouse is enough to feed everyone here for three years."

"The anti-interference device is working smoothly, and according to the observation just now, the pollution that was originally on par with the self-purification ability of the Great Source has now begun to subside, and the external magical environment safety index is becoming stable. This is good news. It seems that the Empire's reinforcements are indeed quite effective."

"Finally, the situation of those refugees has stabilized."

The subordinate flipped through the notes in his hand: "Hmm... most of them are quite emotionally stable."

"A safe environment, ample food, and a large number of sixth and seventh ring experts within the branch make our combat strength comparable to that of the legion headquarters, which makes most people willing to follow our orders."

"But there are inevitably some pessimists who think we are just barely surviving by hiding here, which is true."

Is nodded upon hearing this: "It sounds like everything is still going as planned... Hmm? What's this?"

As soon as Is finished speaking, he saw a figure appear in front of the one-way mirror.

The next moment, the other person appeared behind him.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I came here at the request of the Great Sage Erebus. The outside is now safe. Next, the Empire will carry out some special elimination measures."

"However... seeing so many survivors here puts my mind at ease. I'll leave the rest of the work to you. There are still dozens of survivors at the church; I'll need you to look after them during the evacuation."

"By the way, my name is Roland Lancelot, an Imperial Envoy and a partner of the Society... However, based on my previous interactions with your colleagues, you should be familiar with my name."

Looking at Roland who had suddenly appeared behind him, Is asked, "How can I be sure you're not lying?"

"I have neither the means to prove myself nor the interest to do so."

"Time is of the essence; the forbidden spell will be activated within ten minutes."

As Roland spoke, he raised his wrist and glanced at his watch—a piece of military equipment he had smuggled from the Sky Ring Hub.

This was also General Landros's idea, for the sake of convenience in keeping track of time.

According to the other party, his life can be extended by a maximum of thirty minutes.

Roland must complete the evacuation of all survivors from the city within thirty minutes.

The only saving grace was that Lanzos had given Roland access to the city's military teleportation array.

Thanks to the special nature of Isfar as a border fortress city, and the fact that Isfar itself is much larger than a typical city, there are many teleportation points within the city to facilitate the mobilization of troops in times of emergency.

Roland can use the teleportation array to quickly transfer personnel. Thirty minutes may sound short, but it is actually enough.

Is was silent for a while, then said, "As you said, how do you plan to evacuate people? Ten minutes isn't even enough time for the disaster victims to run out of this block."

"Simple, just use the military teleportation array, it's near your branch, isn't it?"

Is said nothing more. After examining the Silence Sword in Roland's hand, he began to call on the others to gather the refugees and prepare for evacuation.

Everything went smoothly, because not many people were able to come to the school to take refuge.

There were only a dozen or so.

These people were all rescued from the streets by Is and the researchers from the Society after the anomaly occurred; they were mainly residents from the area surrounding the Society.

Surprisingly, the association had a large number of people, about fifty or sixty.

Therefore, the evacuation was surprisingly rapid.

After carrying some food and drinking water, the large group of people quickly headed to the nearest military teleportation array.

Some researchers and civilians with low strength left Isfar immediately after the teleportation array was activated and headed to the satellite city.

Most of the remaining members followed Roland to the church and rescued the remaining survivors.

With the help of dozens of fitness-loving muscle researchers, the church's evacuation went very smoothly, and there was also a military teleportation array in the neighborhood near the church.

Roland breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the survivors being carried away by the strong men.

Branch President Is looked at Roland: "Sir, you were lying before, weren't you? It actually took much longer than ten minutes, didn't it?"

"Haha, sorry, but I need to make you feel a bit of urgency at this crucial moment." Roland said, glancing at his wristwatch. "There are still thirteen minutes until the time I agreed with the old general."

Is nodded, then looked at the body of Bishop Yes, who still stood before the church door, eyes closed in prayer, as if he were simply praying earnestly. Beside his body, a faint flame still burned.

The next moment, seemingly realizing that the disaster was over and that he no longer needed to protect anyone, the bishop's body turned into scattered light and electricity and disappeared into the air.

……

"Phew... Is the evacuation complete?"

Through the observation window of the Sky Ring Hub, Landros saw Roland's signal coming from the ruins of the city.

The old general stubbed out his cigarette and carefully placed the weapon that had been with him all his life into a long wooden box.

After a long sigh, he walked toward the complex runes that Roland had inscribed in front of the amplification device.

Forbidden spells...

This word, which he had only heard of and seen in legends and stories, was now right in front of him.

He may even launch it himself.

Roland had told him about the effects of this spell. Although Lan Zhuos didn't believe it, when Roland somehow communicated with the Great Source and made the magic of the surrounding Great Source inscribe the spell array on the ground, Lan Zhuos felt that he had seen too little in his life.

Fortunately, he gained some new knowledge before he died.

He was very old, having lived through the reigns of three emperors.

He even experienced a near-death experience.

Looking back on his life, apart from feeling sorry for his wife who was killed by the demons and his son who died in the border conflict with Platia... he had no regrets.

I should go see them too.

With a final exhale, Lanzos channeled his magic into the rune array.

"Forbidden Spell: Falling Sky, activated."

Inside the city, Roland, preparing to activate the teleportation array one last time, gazed at the rapidly gathering magical clouds in the sky, silently mourning for this meritorious veteran of the empire, before leaving the dead city.

……

Inside the outpost outside Isfar's main city.

The garrison and Furam's group, who were usually idle most of the time, were now busy.

The sudden emergence of a large number of refugees from the teleportation array, along with the members of the society, clearly threw the officers on duty at the outpost into chaos.

The commander of the First Legion is already on his way.

As the only two ninth-ring legends present, Flam and Remilia began examining the survivors.

The survivors were initially somewhat resistant, but the scene quickly calmed down after being reassured by the other members of the society who had come out with them.

But before Flam could even ask about the situation in the city, Roland, along with the last group of Society members responsible for the rescue and the survivors, emerged from the teleportation array.

Roland saw Fram immediately.

Only then did he begin to relax, and a feeling of exhaustion washed over him.

This time, however, he did not faint immediately. Instead, he found a box containing supplies nearby and sat down: "Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Flam... The situation in the city is both resolved and not resolved."

“Cognitive pollution is no longer a problem, but as you can see, there are only a few living people left in the city.”

"Furthermore, that Aibas in the military is actually a mole of the Dark Apostles. It was because of Aibas's covert cooperation that the Isfar incident occurred."

"Finally... General Landros... fought to the very last moment."

Having said all that, ignoring Flam's worried gaze, Roland said to himself, "Judging by the time... it should be about time."

As he spoke, Roland stood up and looked toward Isfar's main city.

The moment Roland stood up, everyone saw the sky suddenly open up from the celestial ring hub, spreading out and filling the entire sky in their field of vision.

The next moment, it got dark.

With the failure of the Dream Spell Spiral Hourglass, the boundary between reality and illusion in Isfar City also returned to stability.

The military officer who had been maintaining his last shred of sanity through the dream also turned into a monster after the dream dissipated.

Even outside the city, its roar could still be heard clearly.

Both Flam and Remilia were ready for battle, and Cellina gripped the longsword at her waist, ready to unleash the power of the runes at any moment.

But the next moment, before the twisted monster could lead the remaining monsters out of the city gate, an invisible judgment fell from the sky.

In that instant, the sky lost its color, and only black and white remained between heaven and earth.

Then, all the monsters, whether they were inside the city or the nine-ring legendary monsters that were about to rush out of the city gates following the life force, instantly transformed into the most basic magical factors and returned to the cycle of the Great Source.

"It fell from the sky... its power was far more terrifying than described..."

"Phew, finally...it's over..."

thump.

Roland, who had been standing perfectly fine, fell peacefully to the ground and fell asleep after witnessing the effect of the falling sky.
