Elite Mages’ Academy (Web Novel)

Chapter 428: Wall of Time

Poseidon’s footsteps stopped again, shooting a cold gaze toward Xiao Lin’s direction. Xiao Lin suddenly tensed up, but after a few minutes, Poseidon once again averted his gaze, but the confused look in his eyes did not go away.

Xiao Lin, who was only a few feet away from Poseidon, felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He might be venting with his attacks, but he understood very well that if the Poseidon in front of him was real, he would definitely die.

However, Poseidon did not do anything, which meant he did not see Xiao Lin right next to him at all. Even the mysterious eye on his forehead could not detect anything.

Xiao Lin did not understand what was happening at all. Since the start, it felt just like Silverlight had said, and he was merely an observer to history, unable to do anything but watch on like it was a movie. However, that no longer seemed to be the case. Even though it was not that obvious, and he could not guarantee that it was true, his attacks seemed to occasionally be able to affect Poseidon.

The most crucial thing was that Poseidon was unable to feel Xiao Lin’s presence. That man had Legend-ranked power. If Xiao Lin was really standing in front of Poseidon, the man could probably use one finger to reduce him to dust, not even leaving behind any traces.

Xiao Lin continued to experiment a few times. A spell the level of Flame Bullet was basically a mosquito bite to Poseidon. It was something he could completely ignore. However, if the mosquito was completely invisible and unable to be found, then it would be very strange. Even a god would be unable to ignore such a thing.

The Sea God Poseidon was definitely not an idiot. He could ignore the first one or two shots, but coincidences only happen one or two times, not four or five. He quickly started to get suspicious and become alert, using various ways to investigate.

A slew of spells were casted by Poseidon, some of them recognizable by Xiao Lin thanks to him seeing similar spells within the academy library. Most of them were unrecognizable, and he was actually quite worried he would be discovered, yet Poseidon’s efforts were in vain.

Xiao Lin switched to attacking with other spells as well, using Flame Ball alongside his bullets. In order to increase his attack power, he even ignored his fatigue and activated Miracle and Ruin. The Flame Balls he could cast in that state were quite shocking, as he had already seen during the examinations.

However, they were still mere tickles to Poseidon, the only difference being the mosquitoes had increased in size. Mosquitoes were still mosquitoes in the end, and Xiao Lin’s attacks could not cause Poseidon the slightest bit of harm.

Yet, Poseidon was in a difficult spot, even turning incredibly suspicious. His focus had completely diverted away from the black dragon woman in front of him. He readorned his blue armor, clenching his trident tightly as he remained on alert, ready to attack anything in his vicinity.

The stronger a person was, the more suspicious they would be in that circumstance. Poseidon did not believe anything could fool his eyes, and yet there was something that was avoiding his gaze. It could mean that his foe was even more powerful than he was, so he could not help but be serious.

Xiao Lin breathed a sigh of relief. His constant casting of spells had used up a lot of his mental strength. He never hoped that he could defeat that man; he was not nearly that naive. His only goal was to make Poseidon give up on Onyxia, which had been achieved.

As Poseidon stood there on high alert, Xiao Lin decided to ignore him. He stood on the decimated courtyard, walking next to Onyxia.

During the time Poseidon was being disturbed by Xiao Lin, The various wounds on Onyxia’s body had already mostly recovered. As a dragon, the woman had an incredibly strong natural recovery. It was just that the earlier battle left Onyxia with no room to breathe, unable to completely recover.

Onyxia had already opened her eyes. She definitely found the situation strange. The Poseidon that was about to make a move on her was just standing there instead of moving closer. She noticed that Poseidon was in a defensive stance, but who was he on alert against? Who was helping her?

The recovering Onyxia once again showed off her curvaceous body, causing Xiao Lin’s face to redden. Even though he knew that Onyxia could not see him at that moment, he could not help but avert his gaze, muttering to himself, “Onyxia, you spared me back then, so I owed you one, and now we owe each other nothing! Yes, I know you can’t hear me, but I’ll just remember it myself!”

“What? Who is that! What are you talking about!” Onyxia suddenly said in a low and agitated voice.

Xiao Lin was shocked, ignoring the woman’s naked body as he turned back and noticed Onyxia’s gaze was looking toward him, but he was certain the black dragon could not see him at that moment.

However, Onyxia seemed to be able to hear him for a moment just now!

“That’s enough! Stop doing something so dangerous!” Silverlight appeared next to him, glancing at Onyxia before strictly warning Xiao Lin, “You’ve already disturbed the space-time continuum! If you don’t wish to be stuck here forever, stop what you’re doing!”

“I don’t understand. Didn’t you say that we were just observers? How could Poseidon have felt my attacks and Onyxia hear my words!” Xiao Lin was completely confused at that point. He was hoping to get an answer from Silverlight.

It seemed like Silverlight was even more lost than he was, but the woman quickly calmed down, fixing her gaze on him as she said seriously, “I don’t know how you broke the unbreakable wall of time, but the reason isn’t important anymore. Remember that we are still observers; that fact has not changed. Breaking the wall of time will wreak havoc on time and space. I can’t even imagine the consequences, but I believe that it won’t be something you or the era you live in can handle!”

Pausing for a moment, Silverlight calmed her tone of speech down. “Thankfully, you only opened a small crack. There shouldn’t be anything wrong if we leave now! I don’t know how you did it, but I suggest that you refrain from doing anything.”

“But…”

Xiao Lin, who was sweating buckets, wanted to say something, but Onyxia seemed to have noticed something the moment he opened his mouth and looked over with a bewildered expression. Silverlight furrowed her eyebrows, staring at Xiao Lin as she hissed softly, “Shut up! Don’t say another word!”
