Chapter 1913: Chapter 1913: Magic Apostle (34)
"You dare!"
Grey gritted his teeth and squeezed out these two words.
"Teacher, haven’t I already done it?"
Grey probably couldn’t leave there and could only stomp his feet in anger on the spot.
The speed of those magic arrays slowed down, and the things going into Grey’s body gradually decreased.
Everyone was confused by this unexpected change.
Weren’t these two on the same side?
"Stop it!!" Grey roared frantically: "I saved you, don’t be ungrateful! If it wasn’t for me teaching you, you’d be worthless, you’d be dead!"
"Teacher, you saved me, taught me things, wasn’t it because you wanted this body of mine."
Chuzheng: "!!!"
What the hell? Does he even want to compete with me for people?
Obviously, what Suo Wei said was not what Chuzheng had in mind.
The young man shrugged: "Teacher, do you really think I’m that easy to fool? I’m not a three-year-old child."
Grey didn’t have a body; if he wanted to leave here, he needed a body to use.
Suo Wei was the best choice.
But Suo Wei clearly knew from the start.
He played along with the scheme to get to this point, though it’s unclear what he really wants to do.
"Teacher, I truly appreciate your years of teaching." The young man politely performed a noble’s salute: "But as the heir of the Elvish Family, for the prosperity of the family, I can’t let the teacher come out."
Suo Wei raised his hand, and the magic array under his feet began to rapidly rotate, its light interweaving into a tapestry.
"What...what are you doing? Stop!!"
"Suo Wei, once I leave here, no one in the Western Continent can rival me. We’ll dominate the Western Continent. Imagine what kind of scene it would be — what won’t you have?"
"Suo Wei, I’m your teacher, I won’t harm you."
"Suo Wei!"
Grey started with inducements but ended with frantic threats.
-
"Dean, should we attack them now?"
"Dean, now is the right time to take them down, why hesitate?"
The dean raised his hand downward, signaling everyone not to act impulsively and to observe first.
Half of the magic arrays surrounding the trapped people had already stopped by now.
Plus, from what Suo Wei said, he and Grey weren’t on the same side.
The magic array under the young man’s feet lifted him higher, the entwining light around him gradually forming a three-dimensional magic array.
The young man opened his palm, and Chuzheng saw a strand of glowing white light ooze out from it.
Seeing this scene, Grey’s half-transparent soul trembled.
Whether he picked a puppet or an enemy was already clear at this moment.
From the beginning, he never captured a puppet; it was never his puppet.
Wind rose from the ground.
The wind blew through the ruins, dust gradually blurred the eyes, and everything turned hazy.
Poeple standing at the periphery might not see clearly, but Chuzheng was close, she clearly saw that glowing white light being drawn into the formation, threads of light shooting towards Grey.
Grey seemed unable to leave the spot.
He could only watch as those threads of light wrapped around his limbs.
The half-solidified soul from before now gradually became translucent again.
No!
How could he be outsmarted by such a younger generation!
"Suo Wei, do you seriously think I didn’t have a back-up plan?" Grey sneered.
Almost the instant he finished speaking, Suo Wei’s face turned pale, his body swayed, and the light of the magic array dimmed by half.
"This life of yours was saved by me; do you truly believe I can grant you freedom?"
"Even if you find the soul strand I placed outside, what does it matter? The magic arrays you learned, I taught them all to you."
As Grey spoke, Suo Wei’s face grew paler and paler.
Meanwhile, Grey’s soul body instead became more solid.
Chuzheng roughly understood what Suo Wei’s formation was for.
It was meant to plunder Grey’s power.
But now Grey seemed to have taken control, and thus Suo Wei’s power was being plundered by him.
"Reverse Magic Circle, I’m better at it than you." Grey chuckled darkly: "After all, a teacher is always a teacher, isn’t that right, little Suo Wei?"
The Reverse Magic Circle was devised by Grey himself.
Every kind of magic array, when reversed, has completely opposite effects.
Back then, Grey relied on this to escape despite being besieged by many.
However, he was gravely injured and couldn’t recover.
So he eventually gave up on rescuing himself and instead found a way to set up a life-saving option in this city, which he had intended to use for something else.
As long as someone came here, he would have the chance to return.
For Suo Wei to bypass his power, there has to be a medium.
The soul strand he found could be used — he could reverse and harness the power, as it was his soul after all.
"Hahahaha!"
Grey’s body already looked no different from a normal person.
He excitedly gazed at his limbs — soon, he’d be able to leave here.
Yet, just as Grey basked in his triumph, his head was suddenly struck by someone, then he was pressed down to kneel in mid-air.
Grey’s pupils shrank, instinctively struggled, but the force pressing him was strange and powerful.
He turned his head laboriously and glimpsed the figure standing directly beside him.
"You... how can this be? How can you be here?!"
Grey never imagined anyone would sneak in and catch him off guard.
The arrays here were dense — anyone approaching would be captured by the magic arrays; even the strongest couldn’t escape.
How did she get here?
Chuzheng thought for a moment and earnestly replied, "Maybe it’s because I’m a waste."
After all, these magic arrays only capture people with magic elements in their bodies; she, being a waste, could naturally pass unimpeded.
"Waste... waste?"
To traverse these numerous magic arrays to end up here — a waste?
The magic arrays he himself set up, he knew better than anyone else.
Ordinary individuals entering would not withstand the force the arrays generated and would be torn apart.
Chuzheng pressed Grey’s head down, lowered her voice to warn: "My little one wants your power, so cooperate and don’t struggle."
Grey: "!!!" How can he cooperate!
Grey wanted to say something, but he realized he could only "mm-mm," unable to utter a single word.
Grey, with bloodshot eyes, glared at Chuzheng.
"Don’t look at me like that, I might get scared." Chuzheng said expressionless, nearly making Grey vomit blood from anger.
How could this happen!
He saw this woman standing beside Suo Wei earlier and thought aside from her looks, she was hardly worth any attention.
Why...
Why could she pass through the magic arrays and silently reach behind him?
Why is she helping Suo Wei!
Even if Grey popped his eyes out in rage, it was useless; Chuzheng wouldn’t let go of him or allow him to speak.
-
Those on the periphery stared wide-eyed; they saw Chuzheng cross through those magic arrays, sneak up behind Grey.
With just a few moves, she subdued Grey, pressing his head down.
And this... is the rumored waste?
Who spread this rumor?
If this is called being ’waste,’ what do they qualify as?
