Magical Academy: Rise of the Supreme Magic Craftsman - Chapter 477

Chase noticed that several automatons were moving hastily as they carried various weapons and passes through the hall…

He’s currently watching the battle of his son from a live feed within the gathering hall when they made such movements. It alarmed everyone as this was quite unusual.

He was used to seeing this place getting busy because many injured soldiers and influential people are being transported here.

However, he had never seen the Elysiums acting like this before.

‘There’s something wrong…’ Chase frowned as he assessed the situation.

There is a small floating ball beside him so he immediately contacted Avalon.

“Avalon, what’s going on?” Chase asked softly. He already had a guess but he don’t want the others to start panicking.

They are currently on the floating island and this place is considered a safe haven. With the current advancement of their Magic Technology, the Aliens had no way of detecting their presence here. Aside from that, they shouldn’t be expecting them to have a shelter on top of the clouds in the first place!

[ Remnant forces of the Seiji Alliance who pledged allegiance to the Empire started to target this place. ]

[ A total of 310 Elysiums has been deployed outside and 30 Radiant Mech Knights have been sent out to intercept them in the meantime. ]

“Tsk… I knew it. What’s the current number of enemies?”

[ They have 18 Huge Airships and we are suspecting that they have more than 150 Steel Knight or Iron Knights. ]

[ The number of magicians shouldn’t exceed a thousand. ]

“Ugh… Aside from your controlled machines, do we have enough magicians?”

[ No. However, we have enough Arians to assist in the fight. ]

Avalon replied as it reminded Chase about the orange-skinned Aliens living on this floating island.

The Arians are equipped with advanced tech weapons and it should be good enough to face the magicians.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several explosions suddenly occurred as the Floating Island trembled.

Many people who are currently staying here started panicking as they immediately asked the nearest A.I. about the situation.

Luckily, Avalon started using the island’s intercom to make an announcement and to allow everyone to hear the whole situation.

[ We are under attack by Seiji Alliance. We have enough strength to defend against them. Do not panic. The explosion just now is the destruction of two Airships that are trying to land on our territory… ]

[ We are under attack by Seiji Alliance…

Avalon repeated the same announcement a couple of times to ensure that everyone would hear them.

“Elaine, Clarice, Claire…” Chase called the names of his family…

Though Avalon ensured that they will not be harmed, he still couldn’t help but worry. Elaine seems to have similar thoughts as she carried Claire and decided to stick together.

“Mom, Dad… Don’t worry, I personally saw the Mana Defense Array that was arranged here. Not only that, but the orange-skinned aliens had also used the best barrier of their race to protect this place. That’s a technology that came from outer space! There’s no way those magicians could destroy that.”

Clarice said as she doesn’t seem to be worried, unlike her parents. If not for Elaine dragging her inside, she would’ve watched the battle outside already.

“Barrier from the aliens?” Chase asked curiously. He didn’t know anything about that.

“That’s right… They are using some kind of nodes similar to the Magic Nodes that Aelia introduce in the past. However, they aren’t emitting any form of mana at all. They just needed to be powered by either electricity or aether and everything will work.”

Clarice explained excitedly as several explosions occurred while they are discussing this.

They didn’t notice that there are also several people listening to their conversation. They were previously worried about their situation as well but after hearing Clarice’s excited voice, they couldn’t help but be affected as they started calming down.

Anyway, it’s not like they are hopeless as well. They are also Magicians and they have brought their finest Mana Artifacts and treasures here after all.

Everyone is in the same situation so they have brought all their treasures as they are worried that it will just be looted by the Empire if it was left in their territories.

“That’s true… Look, the Automatons are clearing up those flying magicians… Ugh… They are actually too strong. No wonder those bio-armors are too expensive.” A man in his forties said while looking at the window.

They are all currently in a hall at the entrance since many rooms are being used as hospital beds at this time.

The man who was speaking is the previous headmaster of Leonhearts Academy, Percival Duro. He was previously injured in the battle and could no longer participate in the current war.

He had lost his right arm, which is his dominant arm, and he could no longer fight like before as his Mana Core was damaged. He might still be considered a strong magician but in such a high-level battle, a stray bullet might just kill him instantly.

Many of the people here recognized him as they looked at the battle outside through the windows. Avalon seemed to have noticed this as it decided to open it for them to watch.

As soon as they saw the massacre happening in the sky, they couldn’t help but admire the power of those Elysiums and Arians.

“Ugh… Those guns are too scary…”

“Wait… Are they shooting lights? How can it destroy those defenses made of mana and elements?”

“It could even put a hole on those Airships!”

The lasers and bullets could actually penetrate the defense or the Mana Shells of the Magicians!

It was indeed no wonder why those Bio-Armors are always being looted in every skirmish against the Empire.

Without these extremely tough armors, the magicians would actually be helpless against these advanced weapons!

“So strong…” Chase couldn’t help but admire the sight in front of him. As a Licensed Magic Engineer, he had always dreamed of making such a powerful weapon that could help their country.

However, it seems that there is no longer any need for that since Zairus, with Wallace and Avalon’s knowledge, is already considered extremely strong.
