Age of Adepts

This place was only a small city in another world.

However, it didn’t appear much different from human cities of the World of Adepts in Greem’s spiritual senses. If one had to pick out something different, it would undoubtedly be the unusual architecture and facilities that were in the style of the arcanists’ society.

There were wide, smooth roads, orderly shops, civilians in bright and colorful clothes, a clean and beautiful environment, as well as small gardens and parks everywhere.

Greem had been in dozens of different planes, and even he had to admit that the civilians of the Arcane Empire were the humans with the most privileges and the highest standard of living.

He couldn’t see a single arcanist in the streets, but the personality and character of the Arcane Empire still manifested everywhere.

For instance, the tall street lamps were lining the side of the streets.

Even the most wealthy and extravagant cities of the World of Adepts only used the cheapest of illumination stones as the light source for their street lamps. Yet here in Morrian Plane, an arcane crystal with excellent magical conductivity could be found in each and every lamp.

This sentence that came out of nowhere confused the three arcanists completely.

However, the situation would not be too difficult as long as it wasn’t an invasion by otherworldly creatures.

The three arcanists were not particularly worried when hearing the report. They contacted the arcanist stationed in the monitoring room and quickly understood the cause-and-effect of everything.

Perhaps out of fear or an issue with the rations, a violent conflict had broken out between the civilians of the city and the refugees. It had quickly snowballed to the level of a riot.

The refugees were incredibly furious and were wildly beating people and robbing stores as they marched down the street. It seemed like they were making their way towards the arcane tower.

“Bastards! These people! Do they not know how much pressure the Arcane Empire is enduring in this war? To think…to think they would choose to come out and cause trouble at this moment!”

“It seems like we need to respond with harsher methods. Exile them from the city as soon as possible. We cannot have them shake the faith of the civilians and cause even greater panic.”

“Let me go! I will lead a squad of arcane golems and chase them back to the shelters!”

“Very well. We will act separately then. We can’t let their chaos spread through the city.”

The gates to the arcane tower opened under the command of the arcanists. The translucent barrier flickered a few times and slowly vanished. Squads of tall and ferocious arcane golems marched out in an orderly fashion under the command of a dozen arcanists. They immediately walked into the wide arcane plaza in the city.

Meanwhile, Adept Holly and Dark Witch Shani, who had been waiting for this opportunity in the dark, also received a magical message from Greem.

“Now! Remember to destroy the elementium pool first.”

“Hehehe. There has to be quite a lot of treasure in this arcane tower. Whoever grabs it first gets to keep it. Don’t get jealous of me after this,” Adept Holly cackled and charged forward without any hesitation.

Meanwhile, Witch Shani abruptly vanished from the spot without a trace.

A massive, earth-shaking explosion rang out.

Adept Holly strode out of the shadows and appeared in front of the arcane plaza. Mysterious star substance surged out of thin air around him, forming into pieces of gleaming blue metal that quickly attached to his body.

Adept Holly’s body grew taller and bigger with every step he took.

He was a massive metal golem by the time he arrived in front of the arcane golems. He was six meters tall, his entire body covered in thick and heavy armor.

Adept Holly laughed and fought his way into the ranks of the arcane golems under the horrified gazes of the arcanists.
