Upon realizing the dire circumstances and the formidable strength of the Elysium elder, the elder of the magician association swiftly assessed the situation and proposed an alliance with the head of the Davenport family. Recognizing that their individual strength was no match for the Elysium elder, the head of the Davenport family reluctantly agreed to the proposition, setting aside their animosity for the sake of their common goal.
As the alliance formed, the Elysium elder sneered, finding amusement in their attempts to stand against him. With a chilling laugh, he revealed a long prayer bead, a tangible representation of his power. Mockingly referring to them as "ants," he let his disdain for their efforts be known, warning them not to overestimate themselves.
Despite the Elysium elder's belittlement, the alliance between the elder of the magician association and the head of the Davenport family had potential. By combining their resources and strengths, they could pose a formidable challenge to the Elysium elder. The outcome of this clash now rested on their ability to work together and utilize their powers strategically.
With determination in their eyes, the elder of the magician association and the head of the Davenport family stood side by side, prepared to face the Elysium elder head-on. Their resolve strengthened as they united, determined to prove that even ants have the potential to overcome their adversaries.
Cyan, although injured and weakened, found a flicker of hope in this newfound alliance.
As Cyan attempted to seize the opportunity provided by the alliance between the elder of the magician association and the head of the Davenport family to make his way back into the safety of the tower, an unforeseen turn of events thwarted his efforts. Bound by a powerful barrier, Cyan found himself confined by the Elysium elder's prayer bead.
The realization hit Cyan like a blow, understanding that the elder's strategic move effectively prevented him from entering the tower. If he, as the guardian and possessor of the tower's power, remained bound outside, the Elysium elder knew that the tower would be secure, unreachable by anyone else.
Cyan watched with a mix of frustration and helplessness as the Elysium elder dismissed him, declaring his intention to handle the other two members of the alliance. The elder's confidence and assuredness in his abilities were evident as he leaped into battle laughing at Cyan's frustration.
Watching the clash between the elder of the magician association and the head of the Davenport family against the imposing figure of the Elysium elder, Cyan focused his thoughts, gathering the strength and willpower needed to overcome the barrier that bound him.
All his efforts were futile, unknowingly, to them he was faking it in order to assure them of the barrier.
As Cyan found himself confined by the Elysium elder's barrier, he couldn't help but let out a sigh. Despite the seemingly dire situation, Cyan's strategic mind began to devise a plan. Unbeknownst to the elder, his actions inadvertently played into Cyan's hands.
The battle between the elder of the magician association and the head of the Davenport family against the powerful Elysium elder created a chaotic and intense distraction. This distraction was precisely what Cyan needed to activate the magic circle hidden within the tower.
With the energy emanating from the magical battle, those outside the tower couldn't help but take notice of the powerful magical fluctuations. Some hesitated, unsure if it was safe to enter, while others braved the potential dangers, motivated by the possibility of gaining power or answers from within the tower.
Aware of the potential risks involved in encountering the powerhouse fighting within, those who entered the tower navigated cautiously, avoiding direct confrontation. They understood that as long as they didn't cross paths with the fierce combatants, their chances of survival remained intact.
Cyan watched and took advantage of the chaotic situation, his mind focused on activating the magic circle within the tower. he knew time was of the essence, and he had to act swiftly before the outcome of the battle outside shifted and disrupted his plans.
With each passing minute, the magic circle activated, drawing in the energies from the surrounding chaos. Cyan's determination burned bright as he hurriedly completed the activation process, tapping into the hidden power of the tower.
The tower, now infused with the collective energy and hopes of those inside and outside, began to vibrate with an ancient and potent force. Cyan's gamble had paid off, and the tower itself began to awaken, and also serve as power grid.
As Cyan smiled, he released a surge of his soul power, scanning the area within the tower. His confidence grew as he realized that the important areas had been securely locked, rendering them inaccessible to anyone without his permission. This knowledge eased his worries, knowing that the most crucial secrets of the tower were protected.
Among the crowd of people scouring the tower, Cyan's sharp eyes caught sight of familiar faces, his fellow apprentice, this made his blood boil as he could finally get his revenge on them trying to assassinate him. Cyan will never let go of those who are trying to kill him.
However, Cyan's joy was tinged with relief as he didn't spot his master among the crowd. His master held a special place in Cyan's heart. The absence brought a sense of solace to Cyan, knowing that his master was potentially safe.
To make the situation within the tower appear as believable as possible, Cyan had strategically left behind a myriad of treasures that could be discovered and claimed. These hidden treasures served as a decoy, diverting attention away from the true purpose of the tower and Cyan's ultimate goals.
As Cyan assumed a meditation pose, his eyes closed in deep concentration, he channeled his soul power into the magic circle, fueling its activation. The release of his soul power caught the attention of the three combatants engaged in battle, but they mistakenly believed that Cyan was merely trying to resist the binding force holding him captive. Their assumption led them to dismiss his efforts as futile, diverting their attention back to their ongoing fight.
Unperceived to them, Cyan's focus extended beyond just the magic circle. Even as he poured his soul power into the activation process, he maintained a watchful eye on the battle that unfolded. His keen senses picked up on the tell-tale signs when the elder from the magician association received a powerful blow from one of the Elysium elder's attacks.
