The tension in the air was palpable as the five moved quickly and locked eyes with each other, exchanging helpless looks.
They all knew that if anything happened to the tenth master, they would be the ones to bear the brunt of the patriarch's wrath.
However, they had no choice but to obey the order given by the second master.
Aur, who was guiding the tenth master, was taken aback when he sensed the presence of the five rapidly approaching him.
His mind raced as he tried to make sense of the situation.
"Damn it," he thought. "The second master must not care about his brother's safety at all. I knew he was ruthless, but I didn't expect him to be so callous as to sacrifice his own brother just to get to me."
Aur couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration and disbelief at the second master's actions.
Just as he was about to speed forward while carrying this tenth master he faced a barrier again, completely trapping him from the outside.
These barriers seemed to have been instantly set up the moment Aur perception sensed the changes.
"Is this an artefact?" Aur thought with narrowed eyes as he lightly tapped the barrier to gauge its strength and estimated that it would take at least ten minutes to break through.
However, with the five tier two wizards closing in on them, Aur knew that he didn't have that much time.
With a resigned sigh, Aur turned to face the five and a glint flashed in his eyes.
"You think you can trap me so easily?" Aur asked, amused.
"You cannot escape from these places now. Hurry and hand over the tenth master, and we will spare you. If not, then face the consequences of your actions."
"What if I don't?" he asked, his eyes narrowing.
One of the wizards responded by casting a spell, causing the mana in the area to become active. Aur could see the mana in the form of mist with his naked eyes and became more alert as a result.
"I said stop," he declared in warning. However, the five remained unmoved, one of them already making a move.
It was said that under the power of time, space was the strongest, as it was everywhere.
However, these spells, which could use the power of space, also consumed a massive amount of mana, essentially draining almost all the blue mana in Aur's mental space, which he had painfully accumulated.
Still, it had done its work, so he was undoubtedly satisfied.
Aur looked at the four tier two wizards with an expressionless face, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

The four felt a strange chill in their hearts when they saw this, but as people who could reach tier two, how could they be lambs waiting to be butchered?
"Let's fight to the death, brothers," the four said in unison, their voices decisive.
Greg, who had died there, was their friend, and they were filled with sadness, but first, they needed to survive this disaster.
The four had already understood that Aur was someone they couldn't take lightly.
These rogue wizards could kill a tier two wizard in the matter of breaths. Although Greg was the weakest with only tier one spells, killing him wasn't an easy task.
With that said, they released all their strength at once.
The four blinding lights—red, blue, green, and brown—all converged toward Aur, making his heart skip a beat.
Although they seemed to be blinding lights, they were actually tier two attack spells with a single-grade attribute.
The red spell was likely related to an advanced version of fire; it might be lava or other forms of energy.
Similarly, the blue spell could be related to water, the green to wood, and the brown to earth, all in their advanced form.
These spells were quite common and simple to learn among tier two spells, but Aur felt his life threatened by just one of these blinding lights.
He sensed that even with his defence, which could be comparable to a tier two defence spell used by a tier two wizard, he still couldn't escape some injuries if directly hit by it.
