Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Chapter 682: Chapter 193: Target of All_1

“Prepare for an ambush.”

The captain of the Great Sage Tower issued the command.

The other eleven wizards complied, silently preparing to strike.

After discovering Link Grande’s location, the captain of the Great Sage Tower had prepared several contingency plans.

One of those was designed specifically for this scenario.

The coordinated team of the Great Sage Tower required no extra practice. Having a broad understanding was enough for them to adjust their strategy according to the actual situation.

...

“Be ready, seize the moment to close in and take them by surprise.”

The captain of Shadow City Team also noticed the figure of Link and keenly perceived the subtle changes of the opposite team. He issued a low command.

Including Christina, the eleven members of the team accelerated their actions to get out of the suppressed state.

The moment the Great Sage Tower team glanced away to confront Link Grande, the captain of Shadow City would seize the chance to deal a significant blow.

The captain of Shadow City wasn’t sure whether the team from Ravensmouth City really intended not to vie for the Saint’s inheritance.

However, eliminating the team from the Great Sage Tower first was always a wise move.

Christina took a look at Link while also focusing on the ongoing fight.

Although distractions on a battlefield were detrimental, at that moment Christina really wanted to ask how her daughter Garona was faring recently.

She had no idea what Link Grande was thinking.

Since he was capable of silently bypassing their “landmine” formation, why didn’t he try a stealth attack?

Why did he need to reveal himself, attracting attention?

Could he have other plans?

“Don’t act rashly; be on the alert for tricks.”

The captain of the Great Sage Tower considered this possibility and reminded his team aloud.

“Understood.”

The well-coordinated team members responded in unison.

The specially prepared tactic aimed at Link Grande remained untouched.

They wouldn’t employ it lightly unless they were certain of success in a single strike.

The triangle is the most stable geometric structure.

The team from the Great Sage Tower and Shadow City set their sights on each other, while Link Grande watched from the side.

The two teams, which were already in a deadlock, transformed their fighting strategy more smoothly after Link’s unexpected intervention, becoming less aggressive.

No matter how aggressive their initial plans were, they started to become more careful, entirely unlike their initial aggressive attaqs.

Even when one team was able to extricate themselves from a suppressed state, the circulation of spiritual power, magic power, and thoughts no longer hindered, and the other team successfully neutralized the negative effects of the snake venom restoring everything from their bodies to the Sea of Consciousness back to normal, neither side initiated another ferocious attack.

In fact, tacitly, both sides pulled back a bit.

The Great Sage’s Tower pulled back to adjust its formation and facilitate the deployment of their special tactics against Link Grande;

The Shadow City team held back in order to prepare their power to launch a faster and fiercer surprise attack by getting closer and aggressively taking control.

Suddenly, the figure of Link Grande, who had just appeared and entirely changed the situation without doing anything, vanished as if it was a bubble.

It turned out that it was not a real person, but a very realistic illusion!

“Damn it!”

The captain of the Great Sage Tower cursed angrily.

He was incensed that he had fallen for the trick.

“Hehe…”

A rare smile appeared on the captain of Shadow City’s face.

Ever since receiving the mission to dig for the Saint’s inheritance, the captain of Shadow City hadn’t laughed at all.

Until now.

However, that deceptive tactic from Link Grande was absolutely astonishing, whether it was a spell or a magical tool.

The ones who didn’t realize that it was an illusion, not a real person, were not only the twenty-four wizards on the field, but also the crews of the two warships.

“Captain, what should we do now?”

Christina suddenly spoke up, asking the first question since she joined the team.

“Wait.”

The captain of Shadow City responded briefly, then asked, “You know Link Grande, don’t you?”

“Yes.”

Christina didn’t hide this fact.

Many people knew about her taking a half-year leave to stay in Ravensmouth City until her daughter was born, after which she returned to Shadow City.

Those who were savvy with information traced back through her background and easily found links to Link Grande.

The timing was too coincidental, and with Link Grande’s series of events lining up and his reputation constantly growing, it was hard not to draw conclusions.

“Is there any way for you to contact him? I want to discuss cooperation with him.”

The captain of Shadow City hesitated for a moment, then proposed.

“I apologize, Captain.”

A faint hint of regret flashed in Christina’s eyes, “I don’t have any means of contacting Link Grande in our current situation.”

“Are you sure?”

The captain of Shadow City asked again.

“I’m sure.”

Christina’s answer remained the same.

“Alright, let it be.”

The captain of Shadow City sighed, not pressing any further.

He had a hunch that Christina indeed had an emergency method to contact Link Grande but was unwilling to use it.

If he were in Christina’s position, he probably would make the same choice.

The mission was official business, friendship was personal.

To use personal friendships to accomplish what was essentially unrelated official business was definitely a loss.

Even if they secured the inheritance of the Saint’s lineage, what could the twelve wizards on their team gain?

Just some rewards.

“Captain, what should we do?”

Inside the Great Sage Tower, a wizard couldn’t contain the emotions within his heart and asked.
