Who taught him to restore the country like this

Chapter 186 Magic Needs to Improve

The two are both deans of the Supreme Academy in the Magic Capital, but they are not of the same generation.

Mavis has been the headmistress of the White Magic Academy since the founding of the Magic City, a position she holds for over seven hundred years.

In the past seven hundred years, the headmaster of the Grey Demon Academy has changed six times.

The first headmaster of the Grey Demon Academy obtained a secret technique from the Magic Festival that allowed him to transfer his own power to his direct bloodline.

Each generation of the Headmaster of the Grey Witch House doesn't need to worry about not being strong enough.

Grey is the sixth headmaster of the Grey Witch House, and he is over a hundred years old.

At this time, he looked like a slightly thinner middle-aged man, but in reality, his life force had almost completely disappeared.

According to the rules established by the successive heads of the Grey Demon Academy, Gray should pass on his power to the next headmaster when he reaches the age of one hundred.

Transition means the end of life. Perhaps out of resentment, he defied his ancestral teachings and stubbornly lived on until now.

This is also the main reason why Mavis chose to end her seclusion and monitor Grey after hearing Wendy's report.

Because the consequences of Gray's actions were very serious.

A hundred years old is roughly the limit of transition. If Gray stubbornly continues to live, it is very likely that the lineage will be broken, and the Grey Demon Academy will lose an eighth-tier powerhouse.

Without an eighth-tier expert to oversee it, the Grey Magic Academy will no longer have the strength to compete with the White Magic Academy, and its status in the Magic Capital will plummet.

Perhaps Gray was a selfish person, but even the most selfish person wouldn't gamble with their family business when there was no hope.

Therefore, Gray must have had a glimmer of hope for survival to keep him going.

"You want to use the Lionheart as a key, and offer all the mages who have taken the Enlightenment Potion as sacrifices to awaken the God of Magic?"

Mavis manipulated her magic to send Elsa in front of Alpha, then looked at Gray, who was tainted with forbidden aura, and asked.

"Awaken the god of magic?"

Gray chuckled lightly: "Mavis, you overestimate me. He has been dead for who knows how many years. How could I possibly wake him up?"

Even if he could awaken it, he wouldn't do so.

As the strongest at the top of this world's pyramid, who would have nothing better to do than resurrect someone stronger than themselves and have them trample on their head?
"Instead of waking Him, we should replace Him."

Gray's tone suddenly changed, becoming high-pitched.

"I have mastered the secret of the God of Magic's ascension to the highest level. The Enlightenment Potion will help me gather His power. Once I have gathered enough power, I can summon the legendary transcendental magic that can grant immortality."

"I've been preparing for this day for over twenty years, and now... I'm just one step away, just this final step..."

His gaze followed his arm to the sky, and he clenched his fist.

"Once I master the magic of immortality, I will be the new god of magic in this world!"

His longing gaze was filled with endless desire.

"Grey, put away those unrealistic ideas. In this world, there is no magic for eternal life except for becoming a god."

"Even the great god of magic perished here. Even a deity..."

Mavis calmly recounted the essence of this world.

"Shut up!"

Gray roared.

"What could someone as long-lived as you possibly understand about the mysteries of life? You understand nothing, but I will bring eternal life to this world!"

He declared in a frenzy.

“Grey, you’re playing with fire and will drag the entire magic capital into the abyss.”

"Mavis said calmly."

"Playing with fire? No, this is a great evolution."

Dean Gray growled, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism.

"The magic of this world has stagnated for too long. It needs a new master, and it needs me to lead it forward."

Seeing that Gray already regarded her as a god, Mavis's eyes showed a hint of sadness, and she shook her head.

If reasoning fails, then the only option left is to use force.

With a sigh, the elements around Gray rapidly compressed and condensed, binding him to the spot like invisible shackles.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the two of them were transported to the countryside, far from the Lionheart King's palace.

This is the power of rules wielded by an eighth-order archmage.

“Mavis, you can’t stop me.”

Gray broke free of his restraints and grinned.

"The magic ritual has begun, the anchor point has been set, and the ceremony is irreversible."

His expression was one of confidence and fearlessness.

In the past, he would have been wary of Mavis, this old monster, but now, his grand plan is nearing its end.

No one can stop him.

"Among those children are members of the royal family involved in the War of the Gods. Your actions have interfered with the War of the Gods."

Mavis calmly reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Gray burst into laughter, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

After all the mess the Kingdom of Lah made, the War of the Gods was indeed a joke.

He strongly agreed with the Uncrowned King's view that the war between the divine kingdoms was nothing more than a gladiatorial arena for the gods.

"Dean Mavis doesn't need to worry about this. If you leave now, I can promise you that I will spare some of the White Mage's people."

Gray replied.

Mavis remained unmoved after hearing this.

"It seems that this battle is unavoidable."

In the wilderness, two eighth-tier archmages unleashed their full magical power in a standoff, causing the magical elements within a radius of dozens of miles to become chaotic.

Dean Mavis made the first move, raising her hand and converging a wand in her palm.

In a flash, the surrounding light seemed to be drawn away, condensing into countless pure spears of light, which rained down on Gray.

Dean Gray sneered, neither dodging nor avoiding, and his wand appeared in his hand, which he then waved in front of him.

In an instant, a hazy gray mist surged from his body, quickly condensing into a huge, constantly rotating gray vortex shield.

The light spears crashed into the vortex and were completely decomposed and absorbed.

“It’s no use, Mavis.”

Gray laughed heartily, "Can you feel it? This ever-flowing power."

"Those mages who have taken the Enlightenment Potion are currently gathering the power of the God of Magic for me in their sea of ​​consciousness. This power will allow me to defeat you here!"

He suddenly waved his wand, and the gray vortex expanded abruptly, spewing out countless corrupted and twisted shadow spears that launched a massive counterattack against Mavis.

These shadow spears not only contain Grey's own magical corrosive properties, but also contain a trace of the vast energy from the god of magic.

Mavis frowned slightly, and several shields unfolded in front of her.

bang bang bang-

The Shadow Spear struck the shield, hissing and corroding as it was continuously blackened and shattered, yet new shields were constantly being generated.

The clash of rules has transcended the realm of ordinary magic, and its impact is so great that the entire Lionheart Kingdom can sense it.

As time went on, Mavis, who was originally stronger than Gray, gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

As Gray said, his power at this moment was almost limitless.

The magic festival has been going on for five days, with a large amount of magic undergoing deep resonance and transformation, providing an unimaginable amount of energy.

Gray was like a thief who stole the key to the energy gate, recklessly squandering power that did not belong to him.

"Do you see? This is just the tip of the iceberg of the power of the god of magic."

Gray grew more and more excited as he fought, his voice distorted by the immense energy pouring in: "Once I fully absorb it, the gates to immortality will surely open for me, through transcendental magic."

At that moment, Mavis, who was struggling to dodge, was caught off guard, and a gray energy beam mixed with dark red blood grazed her arm.

Instantly, Mavis's arm turned ashen, as if life force had been drained from it, and even showed signs of aging. "Magic needs to improve, Mavis. I can now freely fuse two spells; this is what a mage should be like."

“Mavis, we share the same ideals, the pursuit of the ultimate magic. Why give up your dreams for those irrelevant people?”

"Mavis, join me, and let's create a more perfect magical world together."

With the victory already secured, Gray arrogantly extended his hand, inviting Mavis to join him.

Mavis remained unmoved as pure white light rapidly surged into her arm, struggling to dispel the eerie corrosive power.

At this moment, she knew she had lost the battle.

There's no need to continue.

After temporarily forcing Grey back, she transformed into a streak of light and headed towards the capital of the Lionheart Kingdom.

There are other ways to stop Gray's plan besides defeating him. If we take Elsa away and prevent him from getting the key, we can buy enough time.

Gray saw through Mavis's intentions and did not pursue her.

Mavis, whose magic power was greatly depleted, was no longer able to use spatial teleportation, while he had plenty of magic power.

He grinned maliciously, and his figure vanished from the countryside in an instant. The next moment, he reappeared in Princess Elsa's bedroom in the Lionheart Palace.

At this point, Elsa had already been moved by the Uncrowned Ones.

However, the mental perception of an eighth-order archmage is incredibly powerful. In just two seconds, Gray once again pinpointed Elsa's location.

Then another "Shifting Stars" spell appeared in front of Elsa, the Uncrowned, and the others.

Alpha frowned and fearlessly charged toward Gray.

However, after running only a few steps, a heavy pressure made it impossible for her to move.

Gray didn't even glance at these ants, and walked straight to Elsa, who was being carried on the back of an uncrowned member.

"Don't be afraid, don't resist. If you want your sister to live, just obey."

He grabbed the trembling girl and said in a cold voice.

With the bloodline of the Holy One fused with the Lionheart, once she goes berserk, it will be very difficult for him to subdue her without killing her.

"What did you do to...my sister?"

Elsa asked in fear.

"Follow me and you'll find out."

"I...I see."

"Don't go with him."

Alpha shouted with difficulty.

boom!
Gray turned his head, and with a single glance, Alpha was sent flying more than ten meters away, crashing into a thick wall and spitting blood.

"Hand over the heart of the red lion and the heart of the white lion."

Gray's voice was unquestionable.

This is why he didn't kill the uncrowned ones.

He needs more lion's hearts to ensure the plan's success.

However, none of the Uncrowned Ones responded to the threat posed by the eighth-rank Archmage.

They struggled fiercely, their eyes like those of a mad dog that had been tied up, ready to pounce and bite even at the cost of their lives.

After waiting for five seconds, Gray lost his patience and, with a thought, decided to kill these uncooperative ants.

"Grey, stop your crimes now, give up the resistance, and accept your trial!"

A solemn voice suddenly came from the sky.

Gray paused for a moment.

Looking back, several powerful auras descended from the sky.

People from the three major papal courts!

Gray's expression immediately turned serious.

Accompanying the people of the three major papal courts was Mavis.

At this moment, he finally realized that Mavis's fight with him was just a delaying tactic.

This was all in preparation for the arrival of support from the three major papal courts.

“Grey, Dean Mavis has informed us of your crimes. Please cooperate with our investigation.”

"This was stated righteously by Regional Bishop Malcolm of the Holy See."

Gray's face was gloomy.

The people sent by the three major Vatican councils were all eighth-order archmages.

Although his strength has greatly increased, it will still be difficult for him to win against three... plus four other equally powerful opponents like Mavis.

After weighing his options, he suddenly reached out, grabbed Elsa, and nimbly fled.

The powerful figures from the three major papal courts tried to stop them, but they were too late.

"Shifting Stars" is an eighth-order spatial magic that the Gray and White Magic Academies discovered from their sea of ​​consciousness, capable of instantly teleporting thousands of miles.

"Chase him! He must have gone back to the magic capital!"

Originally, they were chasing after the three major papal bishops who were there to deal with Ron.

Compared to Ron's latent threat, Gray's threat was clearly greater at this moment.

If he succeeds, the status of the three major papal courts will be directly challenged.

"That is……"

When the three archbishops caught up with the city of magic, they were dumbfounded.

At this moment, the entire magical capital was shrouded in an enormous gray magical barrier.

Above the barrier, countless illusory figures with pained expressions appeared and disappeared.

That was clearly a mental projection of the mages who had taken the Enlightenment Potion.

Their power is being forcibly drained to maintain this massive barrier.

This is a direct message to them: if this barrier is broken, these people will die.

The three bishops of the Papacy were in a dilemma.

"Dean Mavis, do you have a way to enter this barrier?"

When they saw Mavis arrive, they asked.

Mavis shook her head.

She sensed the aura of the demon god's altar within the barrier.

Grey may have actually obtained something that allows him to control the power of the god of magic.

To stop him, you must either shut down the Demon God Altar from the inside or break this barrier.

"That bastard! His son and granddaughter are inside, and he actually used the lives of his own relatives as a shield."

More and more people rushed to the front of the magic city after hearing the commotion, and upon learning what had happened, they were met with a barrage of insults.

The instructors at the Grey Demon Academy have all drunk the Enlightenment Potion.

The three major papal courts were helpless against Gray, who had completely lost his humanity.

After all, those were the lives of tens of thousands of people. They couldn't rashly break through the barrier and attack without being certain that it was absolutely necessary to do so.

The three clergy of the Holy See gathered before the magical capital, analyzing this unfamiliar barrier.

Ultimately, there are only two options: either start with the magic altar or break the barrier directly.

There may be other methods, but they no longer have time to look for them.

Based on the energy flow within the barrier and the rate at which the life force of those anchor points is dwindling, there are at most three days left.

Three days later, all the mages who had taken the Enlightenment Potion, who had been transformed into the same power as the God of Magic, would be instantly drained.

These people will also die!
