章 2404: Escape

Through the gap in the barrier, Emery summoned his spatial gate, anchoring it as far from the dark elf stronghold as possible. His mastery of spatial magic allowed him to cast a portal over 500 miles away under ideal conditions, but the lingering disruptions from the base limited his range to around 300 miles. It was still enough to give them a critical head start.

As the portal materialized, the scar-faced elf grand magus who had been monitoring the scene reacted instantly, his eyes widening in shock. "SPATIAL MAGIC!" he bellowed. "STOP THEM!! Don't let them escape!"

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the scar-faced grand magus threw caution aside. Ignoring the multiple grand magus opponents, he surged forward, unleashing his domain in a dark, purplish cloud that clung to him like a second skin. His twin daggers gleamed with smoke seeping from the blades like tendrils.

"Watch out! Poison!" shouted the Valaryn princess.
