Elite Mages’ Academy (Web Novel)

Chapter 427: The Truth Behind History (3)

Onyxia had completely lost all ability to fight back. Even if she was a dragon at the apex of Planet Norma’s food chain, she was currently in human form. The look of horror on her beautiful face and the shuddering of her body made for a pitiful sight.

If she was on Planet Norma, Onyxia would definitely not be afraid of Poseidon, but they were on Earth. Xiao Lin had heard from Song Junlang about natural laws a long time ago. They were basically the safeguards in individual spaces, but at that time, the safeguards were harmful to Onyxia.

Poseidon was completely nude. The blue rays that shot out from the eye on his forehead completely restricted Onyxia.

Xiao Lin could not stand watching something like that happen in front of his eyes, even if this was just a playback, an absolutely realistic 4-D one, It was hard for him to detach himself from the scene. Even if it was a movie, anyone who saw such a scene would be filled with rage, what more seeing it right in front of him.

Xiao Lin could not help but look toward Silverlight again. If history really did happen like that, he at least hoped that Silverlight could just skip through the extremely uncomfortable scene.

Silverlight saw through his thoughts before he even spoke, sighing, “I know what you’re thinking. We can’t interact with Time Rewind. Remember that we’re just observers–observing means we can only look on as it happens.”

“Despicable!”

The rage in Xiao Lin’s heart was unable to be soothed. He glared as he suddenly fired a flame bullet out of his hand. Just as expected, the flame bullet went through Poseidon’s body, the space behind him unaffected as well.

In that corridor looking through time, anyone or any object in front of them was just an illusion. There was nothing they could do. Silverlight sighed, shaking her head but not interrupting. She was a woman as well, and what was happening in front of her was naturally hard to accept. It was just that she was adept at controlling herself, knowing how to stop any negative emotion from showing.

The naked Poseidon drew closer and closer, and Xiao Lin clenched his teeth, increasing the speed he was throwing out his flame bullets. At this point, he had already mastered the spell. He just needed to open up his hand, and in one or two seconds, ten flame bullets would shoot out from his fingers at a rapid fire speed.

Bang!

After half a minute of firing, the intense attacks had added onto Xiao Lin’s mental exhaustion. He was about to stop, panting, but was suddenly surprised as he stopped his casting for a moment. An expression of disbelief was on his face.

Silverlight and Gu Xiaoyue seemed to have noticed something, and turned around at the same time as they looked at Xiao Lin in shock, gaping as they said at the same time, “Impossible!”

Xiao Lin paused for only a few seconds before replacing his shock with excitement. He had just been floating in midair, but Silverlight had already taught him how to move around the space freely, so he immediately sped toward Poseidon. It felt quite strange, as if he was swimming in water.

Poseidon’s footsteps stopped only meters away from Onyxia, a confused look appearing on his apathetic face. He raised his hand, scratching his face as if he had an itch as the eye on his forehead swept around his surroundings before he started to relax again.

“How is this possible!” Silverlight’s face went through numerous changes. She had been keeping her cool, so she could clearly see that those flame bullets that Xiao Lin shot out just to vent his frustrations had all shot past Poseidon!

If one threw a stone at someone on a TV screen and the person fell down because of it, anyone would be shocked.

“Did you not say earlier that we were just spectators?” Gu Xiaoyue suddenly appeared next to Silverlight. The two women had not really talked much during this time. Gu Xiaoyue was someone who did not speak much. Silverlight was even more extreme than her, since Silverlight did not really have anything in common with modern humans.

That was why Silverlight felt that Gu Xiaoyue’s initiative was strange, but she still shook her head.

Gu Xiaoyue then said, “However, you did not actually explain it clearly. Xiao Lin said it was like we were watching a movie, but he was wrong. This isn’t a movie; movies are fake. But everything happening in front of us is definitely real. To put it in another way, it’s just like we’re closed in a secret room, observing the outside world through a glass.”

Taking a deep breath, Gu Xiaoyue stared into Silverlight’s eyes, continuing, “To us, the world outside the glass window is still very much real. They have flesh and blood, just like us. If we break through the glass, we can still enter the outside world. You deliberately concealed the fact from us when you used Time Rewind, because for us, even standing here poses an incredible uncertainty and danger to us!”

Gu Xiaoyue’s tone had changed to a low and questioning one toward the end. Xiao Lin was rushing toward Poseidon. Even an idiot would know what he wanted to do. Gu Xiaoyue obviously knew that, compared to Poseidon, even the three of them together might not be worth any attention.

If the glass was really shattered, setting aside if they could change history, they absolutely would have to surrender their lives there. Even though Earth was also within the coverage of resurrection towers, it did not mean that they were covered within this time corridor. Gu Xiaoyue definitely did not want Xiao Lin and her own life to be lost here for no reason.

Silverlight broke her silence to agree. She said with some fatigue, “Your ability to understand things is admirable. Not bad. You’re quite close, but don’t worry, the strength and thickness of the glass window is basically an unrivalled existence. From your academies, even those of Legend-rank would not be able to break it with their attacks.”

“Then how do you explain that!” Gu Xiaoyue pointed at the ground mockingly.

After the initial excitement died down, Xiao Lin also had the possibility pop into his head, but he did not dare ascertain it, so he went closer to experiment. He did not bring any close range weapons, so the only thing he could rely on was magic.

His chain casting of flame bullets passed through Poseidon’s body as usual without affecting anything, but when he increased the number of flame bullets, Xiao Lin was surprised to notice that one or two of the bullets would occasionally not pass through, and cause a weak flame to stick to Poseidon.

Xiao Lin was very familiar with the sight. It was what happened whenever flame bullets struck an enemy.
