Chapter 351 : Law Domain
Chapter 351: Law Domain
"Could it be that this damned group of wizards intends to seal everyone inside the back mountain!?"
Thinking of this possibility, Uthaz-Dimsun quickly dismissed the idea in his heart.
After all, one of the duties of wizards was to protect mortals.
Even if the other party had already discovered that the “undead” in Turin City who possessed divine power were not the real “vessels,” they would never hold the attitude of “better to kill a thousand by mistake than let one go” and recklessly launch a bloody massacre on the mortals in the back mountain.
And this was also one of the reasons Uthaz-Dimsun dared to infiltrate White Coral Academy in an infant form.
"Buzzzz——"
Just as Uthaz-Dimsun was still secretly observing, a blinding light suddenly shot out from the Magic Tower, then surged into the back mountain, constructing a massive blue-and-white magic array.
"Found you."
A deep voice softly sounded by Uthaz-Dimsun’s ear, and upon hearing it, the originally calm expression on his face instantly surged with blazing flames of hatred.
"You’re actually still alive!"
As the tremors of the back mountain gradually faded, the light from the Magic Tower also vanished.
What remained was the blue-and-white magic array spanning the entire back mountain, and the floating infant projection in mid-air, completely detached from the 【Material Plane】.
"Sorry to disappoint you, my dear experiment."
As the deep voice sounded again, Anthony-Rook, who had been hiding in the darkness, also stepped into the array in the form of an interdimensional projection, appearing before Uthaz-Dimsun and everyone in the back mountain.
"Headmaster Anthony has already recovered!"
Seeing the familiar figure within the sealing array, Janna Roland, who had always been worried about Anthony-Rook’s condition, could not help but reveal a heartfelt smile.
"Caw—Everyone, evacuate from the back mountain with me at once!"
Just as all the residents of Turin City in the back mountain were still stunned by the magical changes just now, Rook’s sharp and ear-piercing announcement successfully snapped them out of their daze.
"Hurry! The wizard is punishing the Evil God!"
The first to react was the middle-aged man who had been standing beside “Uthaz-Dimsun” and his mother.
Following his lead, the others also rushed after Rook in a frenzy to leave the back mountain, not daring to stay for even a minute.
"Buzzz——"
Watching the crowd flee in panic, Janna, standing behind Professor Uta, immediately activated the Law of Growth, driving several vines to pull a few people with unsteady legs, as well as unconscious women lying on the ground, to her side.
"Professor Uta, what should we do with her?"
The person Janna was referring to was naturally the woman who had been holding the “vessel” and fled into White Coral Academy.
"She was merely a pitiful puppet controlled by Dimsun. Now that she has lost her value, she won’t survive the night."
Hearing Professor Uta’s words, Janna pressed her lips together, then used a flower bud to gently wrap the woman and place her on a relatively safe patch of ground.
"Professor Uta, why did Headmaster Anthony suddenly appear here? Wasn’t he recovering from his injuries?"
Looking at the people rapidly escaping the back mountain and Anthony-Rook still locked in a standoff inside the array, Janna couldn’t help feeling puzzled.
"He wasn’t injured. He was already dead."
"Dead!?"
Hearing Professor Uta’s words, even with her 【Muscle Control】 talent, Janna’s facial expression was completely out of composure.
"That’s right. When Grace found him, he had already been killed by the 【Bloodred Archduke】."
"But—"
Turning her head to look at the seemingly illusory projection within the blue-and-white array, Janna’s mind momentarily froze.
"Could it be… that I’m seeing—a ghost?"
Or, to be more precise, an undead.
As Janna was entertaining all sorts of possibilities in her mind, Professor Uta timely explained.
"Death, to an undead wizard who holds the 【Law Authority over Death】, is merely a beginning, not an end."
Upon hearing this, Janna’s shocked expression slightly eased.
"You mean… Headmaster Anthony has been resurrected?"
"You could put it that way."
Only after hearing this did Janna allow herself to breathe a little easier.
However, seeing that Anthony-Rook in the sealing array clearly did not exist in a physical form, Janna’s brows still furrowed.
"But… Headmaster Anthony’s current body——"
"That is merely a projection of the 【Law Domain】, just like that Evil God vessel, which was also forcibly dragged into the 【Law Domain】 and refracted as an interdimensional projection."
An… interdimensional projection?
Although this was not knowledge a wizard apprentice should yet grasp, Janna’s extensive reading meant she understood that the reason Anthony-Rook could trap the “Evil God vessel” at this moment, apart from the sealing array in the back mountain, was because he had deployed the 【Law Domain】—something only a Second Tier Wizard could perform.
And the reason Anthony-Rook, who was only a First Tier Wizard, could wield Second Tier strength, was not only due to his exceptional comprehension of the 【Laws】, but also thanks to the powerful amplification effect of the Magic Tower.
"I didn’t expect that Headmaster Anthony had made so many preparations in advance for the safety of Turin City’s residents…"
The sealing array merely prevented the “Evil God vessel” from escaping again.
Meanwhile, Anthony-Rook’s act of pulling the opponent into the 【Law Domain】 was to transfer all the damage from the extraordinary battle into an interdimensional space outside the 【Material Plane】, ensuring the people in the back mountain, and even all of White Coral Academy, remained unharmed.
With the Magic Tower’s amplification, Anthony-Rook’s injuries were not only greatly healed, but his strength had risen to a level comparable to a Second Tier Wizard.
Compared to Uthaz-Dimsun, who had been born only a month earlier and whose “vessel” had not yet fully revived, Anthony-Rook completely had the upper hand, leaving him with no chance to fight back.
"Anthony, this time I admit I’ve lost to you again… but being turned into an undead creature isn’t such a pleasant experience, is it?"
Having already transformed from a human infant into a grotesque, tumor-like creature covered in black wings, Uthaz-Dimsun floated in mid-air, speaking to Anthony-Rook in a tone laced with both venom and mockery.
"It is a little uncomfortable… but compared to the prospect of soon obtaining a complete soul with a divine spark, it’s quite a worthwhile deal…"
"In your dreams!"
Anthony-Rook’s words were the last straw that broke the camel’s back, pushing Uthaz-Dimsun’s already fragile sanity completely over the edge.
"You are the King of the Gods, You are the Lord of All Things, You are the merciful Father in the hearts of saints, You are the Holy Lord under the Eternal Radiance…"
