Magical Academy: Rise of the Supreme Magic Craftsman

Wallace observed the builders that the Conveyor Spacecraft sent out.

Compared to his Elysium that can also be used in combat, the android builders in front of them don't have any functionalities meant for combat. 

Apparently, it is to avoid the possibility of Xeno Collective to try and control these androids and to be used to fight their creators. The threat of this race is already more than enough so they can't give them a chance to infiltrate their defenses… 

The Xeno Collective is also another minor race similar to Arians but they were completely made up of machines or artificial intelligence.**

If not for their limited number, the Collective could've been considered as a Major Race… Luckily, they were already satisfied at controlling two planets and just decided to defend their territory. 

Well, as an intelligent machine, they have realized that being too greedy may result in a full-blown war and they would certainly perish… They can't be aggressive and decided to adapt to their situation instead. 

"I guess, they'll waste their time building that instead of fully controlling the land… Very well."

Wallace was quite happy that this group of spaceships decided to create a stronghold on this island… 

Perhaps they are planning to maximize the opportunity that the Seiji Alliance gave them and settle down here while they collect all the data they needed on this planet. 

It is quite a good move considering there are still other spaceships that haven't descended yet.

"Avalon, I need to replenish by Astral Energy… Monitor them for now. Inform me if they make a move, especially the Seiji Alliance… Consider whether I should eliminate them as well."

[ Affirmative. We haven't removed the bugs we installed on their communication network yet. Veda is also actively monitoring them after being informed about their betrayal. ] 

"Veda? That's good… He has a wider network on them… You can just coordinate with him… Alright, I'll leave now."

Wallace said as he vanished on the surface of the island and reappeared inside his secret room…

He put down the suitcase he's carrying as it has to regenerate after getting damaged a while ago… The friction made by punching that barrier was a bit too overwhelming that the bio-armor could've collapsed. If he didn't properly control his Astral Core to strengthen it, he would have to quickly abort his mission and leave the space…

'Well, I guess I won't be needing it from now on anyway…'

After all, once the Empire fully descended here, what he would consider using would be his 7th Generation Mana Artifact.

It's true that he has plenty of Mana Spells or abilities he can use against the Empire including those he received from the Pathfinder like his Divine Sense. 

However, the 7th Generation was just too different as it creates a sentient Mana that can be considered as a cheat skill…

The sacrifices of several magicians, especially those who completed the Arcane Baptism, were a huge factor in the success of this generation of mana artifacts. 

At the moment, Wallace couldn't think that Aeolia would be capable of surpassing this invention of his and create the 8th Generation within the next few centuries.

The existence of the 7th Gen was just too incredible… 

'It's up to you, Ace… Those two spaceships should be more than enough to trigger them…' Wallace thought as he seated on the ground to take a rest.

"Hey… What happened up there?"

A familiar voice echoed in his head… 

He flinched for a bit as he was surprised by the sudden burst of Astral Energy connecting to his mind…

'Tsk… This guy… Can't you control your energy and be gentle a little bit?' Wallace thought but he didn't dare to voice it out…

The one who spoke to him was the Celestial Being that should be hiding in one of the floating islands. Though he could survive fighting against this being due to his Aeon Guardian, it doesn't mean that he would be unafraid of this Celestial.

The problem in dealing with this being is that he's completely unaware of what it was thinking. If not for this guy's interest in his Divine Sense, he wouldn't even be here. 

"I just greeted the creatures from a different planet… They'll be coming down here soon. Do you want to meet them?" Wallace bravely asked.

"No. Maybe later. I found some interesting creatures down here…"

"Down where? You're not in one of the Floating Islands?" Wallace was concerned about this. The Celestial can't just roam around the planet as it would certainly create chaos wherever it goes. Its mere presence is already suffocating to lower life forms, what if he accidentally massacred tons of people without it noticing?

'Haa~ I feel bad about this.'

He didn't dare to use his Divine Sense to detect the presence of the Celestial as it may offend him. This is the reason why he's unaware of its location up until he mentioned it.

Luckily, the Celestial wasn't too far from him.

"No. I dived into the ocean a while ago. I found some interesting intelligent beings here… They look like you but with fish scales… Very interesting…"

The Celestial answered truthfully. 

This shocked Wallace as he had never considered that this Celestial would be there! What in the world is he doing down there?!

***

In outer space, Ace watched the Empire's fleet descend on Earth… or perhaps the Magic Earth, which he would like to call.

He already confirmed the safety of the magicians who managed to escape from the Empire's encirclement a while ago…

They are all in good condition except for the fact that they've almost exhausted their Mana Reserves.

Apparently, they have emptied their Mana Pool during the battle a while ago and only relied on the Mana Stones around them. These stones managed to supply them with energy to continue with the fight. 

"Good job, everyone! This mission is a success!" Ace announced to lift everyone's mood.

"Yes! They finally descended!"

"That's right! Whew~ I'm sure that they can deal with them on the ground."

"Hahaha! Of course… Just think of the difference in number."

"Yes. We also have our Grand Arcanists and Grand Sages waiting for them. They'll definitely want to escape our planet once they realized their powers."

"Hahaha… That's right…"

The magicians celebrated as they felt that while they are gathering their power here at the moon, the magicians on the surface were also doing their best to find a way to defend against the aliens. 

Ace smiled at their optimistic thoughts… He didn't blame them for that but he also wanted to remind them of something…

"It may not be easy for those on the surface as well… We just confirmed two other Major Races working together with the Meredith Empire… They are the Khrusam Race and Terub Legion. You can get more information about Avalon regarding these two races…"

"Major Races… They should be forces similar to the Meredith Empire, right? Does it mean that we will be fighting against three super-powerful species of aliens?" Hilda Calem asked as she felt that this is not a good sign for them.

If it's true that they will be fighting three Major Races, then it can be compared with fighting against three Dorssia Empires within the Alien Invasion Game!

Just a single Empire can conquer their planet based on the game! What if there are two more?

The magicians finally realized the weight of the situation.

However, since they saw that Ace was still smiling… It means that they still have hope!

Boom! Boom! Boom! 

A series of explosions occurred on the ground…

As Raven had expected, the Subspace Blaster of the Warrior Mech would be unavoidable for the ground forces of Montego's Army.

Their thousand soldier and magicians died just like that… They were also unable to protect them because the Warrior Mech were numerous… They are also unable to rely on their Blaze as it has to deal with the Black Sovereign…

"Raven… We can't let this continue… The Montego's Army is unexpectedly weak…"

"I know… But we arrived too fast, the other reinforcement from the two other nations will still arrive in a few minutes."

"Do you think we can hold on? It's already amazing that we were able to survive up until now…"

Three of the Lucent Knights were capable of using the Arcanist Phase, this allows them to fight equally against the numerous Warrior Mech… As a matter of fact, they have already managed to destroy 4 Warrior Mech in this brief encounter…

[ Warning: Subspace Blaster Activation Detected ] 

[ Move away from the predicted path. ] 

Boom!

The mountain behind the Lucent Knights exploded as it burned the remaining trees around… 

Haa!

The Lucent Knights didn't falter as they showed why they are the elite forces of the Zairus…

They cast multiple Grade 4 Mana Spells…

"Great Corrosion!"

They know that the space alloy used by the aliens was tough… However, they also believe that as long as they can cast an appropriate spell, they'll be able to deal with it…
