Chapter 774 Another Way

Chapter 774 Another Way

At this time, Kyle was cloaked in the shadows of the forest just outside the Academy...

He could feel the presence of various barriers, but he didn't think too much of them as he prepared to join the fray if necessary.

The reason he was here was simple: he wanted to hunt the Deadly Sin, which is similar to what the Farrel Academy wished to happen.

Kyle moved through the Academy's barriers by manipulating its shadows.

He moved with no sound and his presence was as imperceptible as a fleeting thought.

'What an incredible fluctuation of energy...' Kyle mused.

He was drawn to the epicenter of the psychic disturbance, where the battle against Envy was about to escalate.

Outside the Chamber of Seals, Lysandra did her best to ensure that the doors were kept shut as the Headmaster and the others worked together to defeat Envy...

Although the Chamber of Seals was incredibly strong, as it was made by the Academy's top Arcanists, there was certainly a limit.

According to textbooks, it could theoretically seal even an Immortal.

However, it was never tested to an Immortal and was only used against Half-Immortals.

Because of that, Lysandra couldn't help but feel nervous.

She could only pray that the Headmaster and the other professors are doing well!

***

Inside the Chamber of Seals, the Headmaster stood at the forefront, flanked by eight Professors, each of them already considered as masters of their craft.

Their eyes were set upon Envy, who writhed within the confines of the psychic prison...

To their dismay, the Chamber of Seals only allowed them to stop the Deadly Sin from calling out for external help or energy.

It felt as if the one they were facing wasn't a mere Spirit or Avatar... It was as if they were dealing against the true Envy!

"Focus!" Headmaster Therion shouted.

Envy's aura, a miasma of green, pulsed against the chamber's wards. It felt as if it could break the shackles they had placed at any moment.

"Begin the incantation..."

This was commanded by the Headmaster, his voice resonated through their heads as he used telepathy to give out commands.

This was actually very impressive since the Headmaster was already casting three spells at the same time. The telepathy must be the fourth spell!

Nonetheless, the Professors had no time to be impressed!

In unison, the Professors began to chant, their voices weaving an upsurge of ancient syllables. The chamber's runes glowed brighter, creating a symphony of light against the encroaching darkness, which was the Deadly Sin!

Envy, sensing the tightening burst of psychic energy, unleashed a barrage of ethereal assaults.

Waves of malevolent force crashed against the barriers, each impact a test of the chamber's foundation!

However, Kyle realized that the Headmaster's Sovereign Artifact was getting weaker and weaker. It could no longer replenish the mental energy of the Professors while Envy was still trying its best!

***

"Two minutes at most..." Headmaste Therion warned the other Professors.

The battle within the Chamber of Seals reached a fever pitch as the Sovereign Artifact in his possession was already at its limit...

The staff was already trembling as it was already being overused...

It was faltering, its once radiant light dimming to a mere flicker.

Envy, seizing upon this weakness, redoubled its efforts, lashing out with renewed vigor. The chamber trembled under the onslaught, the air thick with the tang of psychic fire.

"What a pity... So this is all you can do?" Envy finally spoke and it was a voice of disappointment. It was as if all of his struggles just now were merely an act.

However, the wasted energy of the Deadly Sin was definitely real!

As Psychic Arts Practitioners, their minds were extremely strong and they wouldn't falter on such a simple provocation.

Nonetheless, the Headmaster's brow furrowed in consternation. It doesn't change the fact that they were failing to kill the Deadly Sin...

'This Sin is not a mere summoned spirit or avatar... It feels as if we're dealing against the true Sin...' Headmaster Therion frowned as he didn't think that the real body of the Sin would really enter the Human Realm that was being protected by a true Immortal.

Anyway, he tried to contact the members of the Oracle Hivemind once again but he wasn't getting anything.

The Order of the Oracle Hivement, the reinforcements he had summoned, were still nowhere to be seen, likely ensnared by other demonic machinations.

Time was slipping through their fingers like grains of sand, and with each passing moment, their control declined.

With a heavy heart, Headmaster Therion prepared for the last resort.

Once the Sovereign Artifact failed, he would unleash a spell to expel Envy from the Academy's hallowed grounds.

The consequences of such an action weighed heavily upon him; the Deadly Sin could wreak havoc wherever it landed, endangering untold lives.

Yet, the immediate threat to the Academy left him with no alternative.

'Once this being is gone, we will have to evacuate...' The Headmaster thought as he readied himself to use the Second Arcane Path he had learned to blast Envy away...

He also controlled the Chamber of Seals to open it once he was ready to expel the Deadly Sin.

As he channeled the Elemental Spell, the surrounding air intensified as the other Professors realized the Headmaster's plan...

The chamber's runes glowed ominously, a prelude to the expulsion. But just as the Headmaster was about to release the spell, a shadowy figure materialized within the chamber.

The psychics faltered briefly as their concentration was broken by the sudden intrusion.

The figure emerged from the darkness, its form cloaked in an aura of impenetrable shadows.

Kyle stepped forward, his eyes reflecting the chaos of the battle.

"Stay your hand, Headmaster," Kyle's voice resonated through the chamber, a calm amidst the storm. "There is another way."
