Elite Mages' Academy

Chapter 431: Sealing (1)

Silverlight had already guessed what Xiao Lin wanted to do, but the moment he finished speaking, her face immediately changed, rejecting the idea on the spot. “No! I told you the wall of time separates us from the other side. Don’t think it’s made out of paper. We definitely won’t be able to unleash the sealing power over there!”

“Yet we can feel Poseidon’s aura here,” Gu Xiaoyue immediately retorted.

Silverlight glared at Xiao Lin with a difficult look. “That’s because the wall of time had cracked thanks to you, but you saw it earlier as well. Poseidon’s trident could not attack you. He could only make his aura seep through.”

“Just the aura alone is enough to kill us!”

“Since the wall of time won’t allow the seal to take effect, then just break it! Let’s just go over to that world and seal Poseidon!” Xiao Lin said decisively, looking at Silverlight. “Tell me, how do you break the wall of time!”

“You’re crazy!”

“Do you know how severe the consequences of breaking the wall would be?”

“It would distort time and space, causing chaos to the laws of Earth. At that point the entire world will be filled with disasters!” Silverlight raised her voice, intensely arguing against the suggestion.

“You said that the wall of time could regenerate itself. Atlantis has already sunk into the sea anyway. Who cares if it floods or a tsunami strikes. We’ll just let the wall of time recover slowly!” Xiao Lin shot back without backing down.

“Absolutely not! Even if it can recover, it will cause irreversible consequences! We would be destroying history!” Silverlight’s rebuttal was just as fierce.

Xiao Lin replied, “Destroying history? Please, no one has appeared to seal Poseidon at all. If Onyxia dies, Poseidon will rule the world! That would really be rewriting history! I really don’t want to go back only to realize that the world has turned into a sea ruled by Poseidon!”

“Whatever you want to do, I think we should make a decision fast,” Gu Xiaoyue interjected, pointing toward the battle that was happening in the ocean. “The dragon will only be able to hold on for an hour or two.”

Xiao Lin and Silverlight were shocked. From the situation earlier, Onyxia could at least hold on for half a day, but now that they turned to look, their faces darkened

Onyxia had indeed managed to hold Poseidon back initially by putting her life on the line, but at the same time, Poseidon’s temper flared even higher, causing him to break his own limits. Onyxia, who long reached her limits, could barely hold on. Facing the enraged Sea God, she could no longer fight back.

Thankfully, the hard scales were the natural born gift of dragons. Facing Poseidon’s intense assault, they could somewhat mitigate the damage. However, the dragon was still facing Legend-rank attacks. The scales might not be able to last over an hour, no matter how strong they were.

However, what Silverlight cared even more about was the dark sky. It was a lot darker compared to earlier, and the cracks that were already beginning to stop started to look like they were getting worse, and the speed was noticeably faster than before.

Silverlight’s face was dark and uncertain. She raised her head to look toward the half-shattered sky before looking back toward Xiao Lin, calmly saying, “Fine, I will agree to your suggestion. We will start the sealing process!”

Pausing for a moment, she explained, “I miscalculated. I did not expect Poseidon to have such terrifying power. What I knew before leaving Earth was not his true strength. This is... To put things simply, his power has already severely affected the balance of Earth. If we leave it be, Earth’s balance will be forever destroyed in a few hours! We need to stop him!”

“If that’s the case, then stop talking so much. Tell us how to get to the other side!”

Silverlight had her own plans. She calmly said, “I need to warn you first, we do not belong in that time. Once we step across the wall of time, we will turn into a disturbance instead of an observer, and Earth’s laws will start to reject us. If we take too long, the consequences will be dire!”

Xiao Lin replied, “At the most, we die! It’s still better than Poseidon destroying Earth, affecting even the modern world.”

Silverlight looked at him with a meaningful gaze. “No, it’s a punishment more painful than death... Whatever, you don’t need to know this. If it gets to that point, even if you know... Basically we don’t have much time, and Poseidon won’t give us much room to prepare, so we need to prepare for the sealing here, and immediately commence once he steps over the wall of time!”

Silverlight did not care if Xiao Lin and Gu Xiaoyue understood her. She immediately sped up her speech, “The seal originally needed six people working together to create, but we only have three of us. However, we’re lucky that Xiao Lin has a talent. Talent holders are the same as us with third eyes, and will strengthen the sealing effect, but I don’t know how much it will help.”

Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows. He had never told Silverlight that he was a talent holder.

Pausing for a moment, Silverlight said, “The success rate is around ten per cent.”

“If we don’t succeed, we die. Is that the gist of it?” Xiao Lin translated Silverlight’s words.

After leaving the wall of time, they would lose their protection, and Poseidon would be able to see them and kill them easily, so they only had one chance to seal him. It would be hard for him to sense them until they walked out of the wall. Otherwise, their only option would be to die.

There was not much time left, and Silverlight immediately started to teach the two of them the sealing spell. Xiao Lin remembered that the upper years had classes on sealing, and the field itself was very deep and vast. However, Silverlight did not give them any explanations, completely ignoring the reasons and theories, getting right to the most important parts.

Silverlight might have agreed to Xiao Lin’s suggestion, but she did not have any confidence in it. The 10% success rate was actually her most positive estimate. If she took into account the fact that Xiao Lin and Gu Xiaoyue had no knowledge of sealing at all, as well as the time constraints, it was impossible for beginners like them to immediately be useful in such a short time. Silverlight had absolutely no confidence. She even believed that the actual success rate was probably less than one in ten thousand.
