Age of Adepts

The floating city was crashing.

There wasn’t much time left for the invaders to scour the city and look for resources and treasures.

As such, the fighting on the floating city increased in intensity!

Meanwhile, in the inner circle of the floating city, in an arcane academy seven kilometers away from the arcane palace, an unprecedented lecture was going on.

It was the same knowledge hall and the same two figures.

Lucia was seated solemnly in the first row of the knowledge hall, seriously and attentively listening to Sir Brown’s teachings.

Today, Sir Brown was lecturing on the theory of life’s origin. He was discussing his opinions and views on the subject, along with the theories proposed by other scholars.

The broad knowledge hall was empty. There was only him and Lucia. Yet, his gentle and warm voice reverberated throughout the room, so loud that even the apocalyptic elementium explosions occurring outside could not stifle his voice.

Though the two of them were not disciple and mentor, he had acknowledged the two of them as such in the depths of his heart. He was now teaching her and passing down his legacy as if she was his disciple.

Lucia frowned and thought deeply.

She couldn’t imagine what it was like for such a massive plane to have developed a consciousness of its own. Would it feel the same way as a human or any ordinary lifeform? Would it feel emotions or pain? How did it then control the lifeforms that lived in the plane?

The rumbling of the elementium explosions from outside the hall was even louder now.

The battle that the flame giant was engaged in was slightly approaching the knowledge hall. The walls around the building had already turned bright red from the intense heat. The domed ceiling above them had started to soften, causing red drops of lava to drip down on them.

Arcanist Brown waved his hand, and a tall golem standing to the side walked over, using its large body and full arms to shield them from the crumbling ceiling.

The temperature in the hall was even more unbearable now!

At this moment, the floating city was halfway down the sky. The city itself was tilted at a forty-five-degree angle. Most of the surface of the city was already crumbling or burning.

The horizon appeared to be slanted when looking out of the crystal walls.

Flames were everywhere, as was fighting and carnage. It was an apocalypse come to life.

They did not have much time left!
