Chapter 349 Race against time
You know, the role of these spellcasters guarding outside the ruins is to ensure the safety of the ruins and deal with various accidents that may occur during the competition.
And now, right under their noses, such a huge ruins and all the students were gone! This was beyond the scope of an accident and turned into a complete disaster.
The mages didn't even dare to imagine what kind of punishment the royal family and the four major families would impose on them in anger if there were large-scale casualties among the students.
"Don't panic! Everyone, stay calm! The Vice President and the royal family's ministers are still in the ruins! They will definitely find a way!"
Seeing that everyone on the scene was a little flustered, the leader of the ninth-level academy quickly spoke up to calm the many spellcasters.
However, just as he finished his words, the space inside the crater suddenly began to twist unstably.
As a distorted space ripple in the shape of a hollow spherical shape spread out, dozens of human figures shrouded in suppressed magical fluctuations appeared from the center of the ripple, looking a little embarrassed.
Including Vice President Xius, all professionals above level nine who had previously entered were now all teleported out by this seemingly irresistible space ripple!
In fact, the moment the entire city suddenly glowed, they were briefly exiled to the deep space where the time and space constants were chaotic. It was not until the ruins city was teleported away that they reconnected to the coordinates of the surface space.
However, the ninth-level people who had escaped from the chaotic time and space did not immediately come to trouble the guarding mages outside.
There were twelve ninth-order warriors who appeared at this moment, and there were only nine or so ninth-order warriors who had entered the ruins before...
After a brief pause, three of the ninth-level figures disappeared in a flash, and six of the ninth-level figures from the Empire directly chased after them.
The remaining three ninth-level mages flew towards the direction of the ninth-level mage leader from the outside world.
"What on earth happened here, Yag? Where are the ruins?"
Looking around with some confusion, Vice President Xius of Pamir looked at the head of the college in front of him, hoping that he could give an explanation.
"We are currently facing a serious accident, Hughes! The ruins were suddenly teleported away! Although our people have tried hard to interfere, they were ultimately unsuccessful."
The person in charge named Yager shook his head with a sad expression.
"However, with the emergency positioning of our spellcasting team, we have locked down the current location of the ruins—"
As he spoke, he walked to the side and pointed to the positioning array in the center of many spellcasters.
In the lower left corner of the sea on an illusory map of the Yar continent, in an area very close to the life forbidden zone, a bright red dot is flickering slightly.
"Wait... that location is within the possible location of the other half of the ruins, right?"
After seeing the location of the red dot, the expressions of several ninth-level warriors became solemn.
"In other words, due to some reasons, the automatic recovery mechanism of the ruins was triggered?"
Hughes spoke with a serious expression and stated the biggest possibility.
Although the Warp Space Exile just now seemed like a sneak attack, its power was real.
At that moment, all the space-related triggered spells and protective magic items attached to his body were triggered, but he was still banished into the deep space without any resistance.
It was not a sophisticated banishment spell, but a pure, vast torrent of spatial magic power that was as vast as the ocean and sky.
The spells on him did have an effect, but it was like a ship trying to anchor itself in a tsunami; it was meaningless.
"Damn it... This college competition is urgently suspended! Yager, immediately! Ask for help from the royal family! We must truthfully report the current critical situation, request as many ninth-level as possible to provide support, and apply for the use of limit-breaking power! The disappearance of the ruins cannot be hidden from anyone, and the top priority now is to bring all the students back to the empire safely as much as possible!"
After quickly confirming the current situation, Hughes acted decisively and immediately tried his best to remedy the situation.
After casually copying a location map, three ninth-order warriors from the empire set out immediately and rushed to the Endless Sea.
Now, the ninth-level rescuers from the Empire are facing the most difficult problem.
The current location of the ruins is on the high seas.
Unlike the half of the ruins that had fallen directly into the territory of the empire, the other two countries could only secretly send ninth-level warriors to sneak into the empire and try to obtain the secrets of the ruins, but they did not dare to send people into the country openly.
The reason why the three major forces can maintain the three-way balance of power on the continent is that each empire holds a trump card with a destructive power that exceeds the limit of the ninth level.
Thousands of years ago, after the collapse of the ancient magic empire, at the end of the Year of Bloody Turmoil, the three emerging forces on the continent signed a ceasefire agreement due to mutual fear.
The agreement clearly stipulates that no country is allowed to use its own trump card forces in the territories of the other two major countries, otherwise it will be regarded as a declaration of war.
But if we move to the high seas, there will be no such problem.
Especially at this moment when all the students of Pamir College were trapped in the ruins, if they could be kept under the sea forever, it would definitely cause an extremely heavy blow to the Gloria Empire.
Therefore, several ninth-rank warriors knew that this rescue operation would most likely turn into a big melee of trump cards! At this moment, they could only pray that the other two empires would learn of this information later. . ….….At this moment, inside the ruins, in the underground cave hall at the source of the change.
The abnormality just now seemed to last only for a moment, and the solidified air began to flow again.
"I'm looking at... the stone clock."
Avis opened and closed his lips, continuing to say what he had not been able to finish before.
"Did you feel it just now, Anvis?"
Claire's voice returned to normal. Avis turned his head and looked at the half-elf girl with a serious expression.
"Something has changed, and it has come from the clock on the altar."
Avis nodded solemnly and pointed to the stone clock.
Although the description seems long, the moment when the stone bell emits light and illuminates the entire ruins is actually only a very short moment.
"It suddenly flickered just now, and I can't tell for now what has changed..."
But as he was speaking, he suddenly paused, as if he suddenly understood something.
"There are two things. First, the vice president disappeared. No one knows where he went. Second, the sky outside the ruins changed. It became completely dark."
"Your real body is now on the surface of the ruins?"
Upon hearing the news, Claire's blue eyes turned slightly and glanced at Avis.
"Yes, I think we may have triggered something serious."
Glancing at Ryan, who was still confused and had no idea what was going on on the side of the altar, Avis shook his head helplessly.
Wrong time, wrong place, wrong person, but the right triggering conditions all came together? The power of fate is really amazing.
In the previous life, according to the information learned by Avis, after Ryan and his group triggered the mechanism in the ruins, it was only them who were teleported into the underwater ruins, rather than the entire ruins being transported to the sky.
