Magical power is cyclical.
The moment the body can no longer transform the world’s source power into magical power, the body will stall.
No matter how much mana is injected or how much outside interference is applied, it will be to no avail.
It is highly likely that the person will never wake up, essentially becoming a vegetable.
Lin Yue was currently in this exact situation.
If it were a simple case of mana depletion, it would be easy to handle; Liya would only need to use the Power of Law to clear the interference.
But the problem was that the mana inside his body was full.
She couldn’t even “pour” more in.
It was like a mountain lake; as long as the water flows, there is life.
If it does not move even a single inch, it becomes pure, stagnant water.
Liya moved her hand away from Lin Yue’s chest, an unprecedented sense of unease welling up inside her.
“Professor Liya, how is he?”
The most nervous ones were Isabella and Airella.
They had just been teased by Lin Yue and hadn’t even processed their feelings yet.
To be told that their sweetheart had turned into a “stone” was not something they could accept in an instant.
Liya tried to forcibly widen his mana barrier through the Power of Law, attempting to create a pressure difference to force the mana to flow.
However, no matter how she twisted the space, she couldn’t create a gap.
Perhaps because he had just ascended, his mana was packed so tightly that there was no room for manipulation at all.
If she were any more aggressive, Lin Yue might simply explode and die.
She didn’t dare try.
“It won’t work… I need Losef…”
Losef was the expert when it came to treating intractable diseases, but he was currently away.
Trying to call him back now would be too difficult.
Even with Liya’s flight speed, she couldn’t guarantee she would find him and return before Lin Yue suffered brain death.
Furthermore, she didn’t want to — and didn’t dare to — leave Avelina.
Who knew what strange forces might come knocking while they were weakened?
What should she do…
Just as everyone was at their wit’s end, an unexpected figure appeared beside them.
“Cough… Lin Yue! Uh, what’s wrong with him…”
The group turned around to find Charles, his clothes full of holes and in a wretched state, having even lost an arm.
“Why are you here… and you’re missing an arm?”
Airella looked surprised.
She hadn’t expected that in just half a day, he could be injured to such an extent.
“The one who released high-level magic at the main gate was him. For a low-level mage to force such a release, it’s only natural to suffer a backlash…”
Liya raised an eyebrow.
She was somewhat surprised that such a heavily injured body could rely on sheer willpower to walk from the main gate to this place.
Charles didn’t say a word.
He slowly approached Lin Yue and gave him two light kicks with his foot.
Seeing no reaction at all, his heart sank.
“Charles!”
The moment Charles made a potentially aggressive move, the Variana sisters, who were crouching nearby, and Airella instantly went on high alert.
Tentacles and ice-fire magic hovered in the air, as if they would strike if he did anything else strange.
“What can a cripple like me even do… You women, what kind of love potion did he give you?”
Charles grit his teeth and took a sharp breath of cold air.
He hadn’t expected the center of Avelina to be even more dangerous than the battlefield at the gate…
Seeing that he had no intention of causing harm, the three slowly lowered their wands, though their hearts were filled with unease.
Although Lin Yue’s vital signs were stable and there was no immediate danger, who knew what would happen in a few days?
Charles sat down slowly and shook his head as he looked at the worried expressions on their faces.
It seemed that so-called geniuses were nothing more than this, so easily losing their composure because of one Lin Yue… though he wasn’t exactly qualified to say that himself.
He didn’t want Lin Yue to die.
Even if he had to die, he had to make Lin Yue acknowledge him first!
“Hey… I have an idea. I don’t know if you want to hear it…”
He spoke very rudely, as if he had some folk remedy that could save the guy.
The four of them shifted their gazes, listening to his suggestion.
Charles recounted the experience when Lin Yue had used lightning magic to shock him awake during their duel.
At that time, his anger had rushed to his head and he had suddenly fainted, which was somewhat similar to Lin Yue’s current situation.
He wondered if it would be effective.
He had originally wanted to just do it directly.
Explaining first was mainly because he was afraid these people would harm him without letting him speak.
He had seen it just now; they were more sensitive than a rash-prone face.
There was no guarantee he wouldn’t be shaved bald again.
“Then I’ll do it.”
Liya rolled up her sleeves.
Electrocuting someone was a simple task for her.
“No…”
Charles grit his teeth, stopping her from touching Lin Yue casually.
“The intensity he used was very subtle. The quality of the Professor’s mana is too high; it can’t be compared to us low-level mages. There’s a chance you’ll just electrocute him to death…”
Liya looked displeased.
Was he questioning her mana control?
However, he had a point.
Since it involved Lin Yue, she didn’t dare to gamble.
They looked at each other and agreed with Charles’s reasoning.
Although they still didn’t quite trust his character, he had lost an arm to protect Avelina, and it wasn’t certain it would recover.
They would trust him for now.
Since even Liya had no solution for Lin Yue’s situation, they could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive.
After resting for a while, Charles had recovered a fair amount of mana.
Although his body was in poor shape, releasing magic was not an issue.
He closed his eyes and slowly placed his remaining hand on Lin Yue’s chest.
Bzzt, bzzt, bzzt.
He controlled the voltage, mimicking the intensity of the magic Lin Yue had used back then, ensuring it was strong enough to provide a stimulus without killing him.
“Ngh…”
Lin Yue trembled from the shock, his body stiffening as he jerked upward.
There was a reaction!
Liya and Charles exchanged a look, ready to take over at any moment.
Another shock!
“Haah!”
With the second shock, Lin Yue was like Snow White coughing up the poisoned apple.
He sat up abruptly and took a deep breath, accidentally headbutting Charles in the process.
Both of them tumbled to the ground.
“Holy shit!”
Charles had too many injuries.
The impact made his head spin, and he slumped onto the ground.
“Lin Yue!”
Airella wanted to rush into his arms to see if he was alright, but she was stopped by the gazes around her.
After all, he had just woken up; he shouldn’t be moved haphazardly.
Lin Yue looked around and found that the previously rainy and gloomy Avelina had become bright and sunny.
Seeing his acquaintances still alive and well, his spirit suddenly relaxed.
He flopped back down, closed his eyes, and fell asleep again…
“…Lin Yue! Quick, shock him again…”
“No need.”
Two men lay sprawled on the ground of Avelina’s plaza.
Liya looked at the two of them, completely burned out from the headbutt and everything they had endured.
While using her mana to gently soothe their bodies, she said, “The mana in Lin Yue’s body has started to flow. Don’t worry about him; he’s just too tired.”
She glanced at Charles, who had fainted from the headbutt, and whispered, “Thank you…”
Liya looked toward the endless sky, reaching out as if trying to touch something.
She had sensed that something was wrong with everything that had happened, yet she had acted with a hint of wishful thinking.
As a result, the situation had become so complicated.
Despite possessing power that could destroy heaven and earth, it still felt insufficient when used to protect something.
Perhaps, relying on her alone, she wouldn’t be able to stop certain things from happening…
‘Teacher… did I protect Avelina well?’
Thinking of her teacher’s instructions before passing away and looking at the mess that was Avelina at this moment, she couldn’t help but feel a bit dejected.
“Allen… Allen?”
Lillian slowly opened her eyes and saw her childhood friend staying by her side, never leaving, like a guardian deity.
“Lillian, are you awake?”
The weight on Allen’s heart finally lifted.
He tightly held Lillian’s hand, afraid of losing her again.
Lillian looked up.
Around them was a messy battlefield, along with Ewan, who was carrying the wounded and looked too exhausted to walk, and Gus, who had just woken up like her…
“Allen…”
She called his name once more.
“I’m here.”
She turned her head and noticed a hint of scorched yellow on the vegetation near Avelina’s main gate.
“It seems… autumn is coming…”
Autumn leaves slowly fell from the trees, drifting into the distance with a breeze from an unknown source.
The crisis of Avelina settled into a conclusion amidst the strangely warm atmosphere of the group and the gazes of the people who were gradually waking up around the plaza.
Volume One: The Transmigrated Evil Young Master — End.
“Master Losef!”
A high-level mage of Avelina was supporting another heavily injured mage, placing him before Losef in hopes that he could treat him quickly.
Looking up, the mage found that many wounded were lying all around Losef’s area.
Compared to them, the one he was carrying was considered lightly injured.
“Find a bed for him to lie on. I’ll treat him shortly…”
Losef worked with both hands, living up to his reputation as a Level 6 Magister.
Treating higher-level mages required more mana and energy.
He had worked for three days and three nights without rest, yet he was still able to perform high-intensity healing.
It couldn’t be helped.
The eruption period of the Monster Well was just that terrifying.
To prevent monsters from running out and putting too much pressure on the towns of the human core forces, they had to hold the line.
He slowly shifted his gaze toward the Holy Priests nearby, finding that they were only silently praying and not truly putting effort into treating the wounded.
His expression turned cold.
Knowing that these fellows were only present for show and not contributing, his dissatisfaction grew.
“Master Losef, a letter from Avelina!”
He raised his eyebrows slightly and took a deep breath, stopping his treatment.
He tore open the envelope and began to read.
He read line by line until his eyes finally landed on a certain word.
An unprecedented killing intent leaked from his gaze.
“Good… very good… the Holy Church.”
He had waited for nearly ten years, all to wait for the moment they couldn’t help but make a move.
“Bring Mordecai to me. I want to… ask him a few questions personally.”
While everything seemed to be running as usual, a black figure flew out from the Monster Well.
Carrying the aura of death, it flew into the distance.
The mages could not intercept it and could only watch as it departed.
It flew for a long time before finally stopping at an extremely high, snowy mountain.
Sensing the changes in the source power of heaven and earth, it whispered: “It seems I’m not the only one who couldn’t wait…”
Immediately after, it plunged into the ground and vanished without a trace.
