Abyss Sequence-Chapter 471 - 46: Pursuit

The intense roar erupted not far away, Yevgenia could no longer care about anything else, she climbed out of the window and flew towards the location of the explosion.

She quickly arrived at the site of the explosion, that terrifying explosion had turned a quarter of the block into ruins, many elves were trapped under the building debris, and there were many scorched corpses and body fragments on the pavement.

Several corpses with unclosed eyes lay on the street, stimulating the eyeballs of the elves who came to the explosion site to help the victims.

Alfheim had been peaceful for a long time, the elves had not seen their kind die so tragically for a long time, many elves rushed to the scene and couldn’t help but vomit when they saw those corpses.

Yevgenia’s face didn’t look very good either, but she managed to endure the urge to vomit and used magic to help those elves trapped under the rubble. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Thankfully, all elves are spellcasters, and the academy is the supreme sanctuary of art and technology in Alfheim, living here, the elves all have considerable casting ability.

As long as they take action, they can save many seriously injured people who are about to die.

While casting magic to lift the rubble, Yevgenia pondered the ongoing situation.

Yan Luo had just killed ’Laiken’ over there, and then an explosion occurred in the city, it didn’t look like a coincidence, Yevgenia felt that there must be some level of connection between these two events, but she couldn’t figure it out at the moment.

She couldn’t figure it out herself, but she could let other smart elves think about these problems with her.

While casting magic to lift building rubble, Yevgenia performed dual magic, weaving the information she knew into a strand of wind that blew towards the offices of the Academic Committee.

As long as any committee member received that information, they would inform the head of the Academic Committee about this matter.

The academy, like other elf cities, although there is no ’lord’ here, the head of the Academic Committee is likewise appointed from the most knowledgeable elves in the academy.

Moreover, the head can also mobilize the power of the Academic Committee, letting other committee members think together to find a solution to this issue.

——There is still time!

Yevgenia noticed that the timing of the two explosions was different, maybe because the culprit who triggered these two explosions needed to hurry to a specific location to detonate, or perhaps there was only one culprit who needed time to travel.

Thus, if they can find the culprit who triggered the explosion in a short time, they can prevent further casualties.

Previously, she investigated a list of elves who had contact with Laiken, suspected to have caused the parasitic event in several cities, not just two elves.

The Academic Committee received the message from Yevgenia, and there was no time to verify the accuracy of the message.

According to Yevgenia, more explosion incidents will occur next, they must act immediately, find a way to identify the suspects according to the list Yevgenia provided.

The old head received the message but focused on the map of the academy.

He marked two locations on the map with a pin, furrowing his brow.

Coincidentally, the two sites of the explosion were precisely the magic power nodes of the Floating City academy, which if destroyed, might cause the academy to fall.

"This won’t do..."

As a student of Fuer Hongfeng, and the head of the academy’s Academic Committee, he knew very well what this Floating City academy truly represented.

This is Alfheim’s ’backup plan’, and at the same time one of the three sealing nodes that suppress Alfheim’s magic power.

The triangle is the most stable shape, the same applies to the real world.

By relying on three sealing nodes, they completed the suppression of Alfheim’s magic power, once the seal is broken, Alfheim’s evil god would be born immediately.

The old head didn’t know what the saints planned, he only knew he was helping the teacher suppress the evil god, waiting for the right time to resolve the evil god.

The academy cannot fall, at least not now.

The old head mobilized the guardians, letting them rush to the nearest magic power nodes, they couldn’t allow the nodes to continue being destroyed.

However, just as the Academic Committee took action, the third and fourth explosions occurred consecutively, damaging two more magic power nodes of the academy.

The barrier covering the Floating City first appeared with a loophole, allowing the wind swirling outside the city to blow inside.

The old head could only activate backup magic power nodes, stabilizing the barrier.

If more magic power nodes are destroyed, even using all the backup nodes, there is no way to keep the academy suspended in the air.

Fortunately, the speed of the Academic Committee and guardians was quick, finding those suspects who might trigger explosions before the fifth explosion occurred, and they engaged in battle.

Yan Luo stood atop the academy, observing the happenings within the academy, upon noticing a battle, he immediately rushed over.

Arriving at the battlefield, Yan Luo quickly figured out who were the good guys and who were the bad guys.

Those elves wearing badges and evacuating civilians were undoubtedly good people, so naturally, the elves fighting against them must be those wanting to cause destruction.

Yan Luo thunderously landed, grabbing two elves fighting against the guardians.

Those two elves suddenly panicked, triggering all their protective spells in succession, only to tear Yan Luo’s clothes apart, slightly skinning him.

Yet Yan Luo effortlessly twisted their necks.

At that moment, the fifth explosion occurred.

Though not very close, Yan Luo immediately tossed aside the two corpses, without greeting the guardians, using ghostly speed to head towards the explosion site.

In ten seconds, Yan Luo arrived at the explosion scene, thick smoke billowed here, with intense fires blazing.

Yan Luo waved his hand, the magnetic field force radiated, instantly extinguishing the flames, then halted his foot, and the magnetic field lifted, raising the collapsed house ruins.

His hands waved like an orchestra conductor, precisely manipulating the magnetic field force, transporting one injured elf after another out of the rubble.

Many of their injuries were severe, but Yan Luo already possessed molecular-level control ability, with just a wave of his hand, he completed hemostasis for them.

Whether bleeding externally or internally, under the effect of the magnetic field force, the wounds were sealed.

Simultaneously healing dozens of elves, even Yan Luo couldn’t help but sweat, with faint red battle patterns appearing.

After finishing this, Yan Luo took a deep breath and turned to look around.

His gaze sharper than a hawk’s swept across the building ruins, Yan Luo felt if the culprit who triggered explosions hadn’t died in the explosion, then in escaping, he should use his legs instead of flying.

Flying would be very conspicuous, only fleeing on foot could blend into the crowd.

Soon, Yan Luo found a footprint that appeared very faint.

Very close to the explosion site, almost as soon as the explosion started, it turned away and fled; thus, the dust covering the ground showed a fan-shaped imprint from far to near, from light to dark.

When the explosion occurred, dust spreading didn’t speed up, nor was it much, only a few microseconds later did the explosion reach its apex, so the dust on the ground presented a trend from distant to near, from faint to dark.

The biggest factor leading to the death of seriously injured elves was internal bleeding, Yan Luo had already blocked their wounds, as long as they did not move drastically, the wounds wouldn’t open.

Therefore, he now needed to pursue the suspect.

That footprint soon merged with other elves’ footprints nearby, being difficult for an ordinary person to distinguish a single footprint from a bunch.

But Yan Luo possessed the magnetic field power, he infused the power into the footprint, making it emit a faint glow, then deduced the suspect’s escape route based on footprint movements and sizes behind.

Yan Luo chased along the footprints, the elves ahead gradually increased in number, many were rushing to the explosion site, wanting to rescue their kin.

Yan Luo brushed past them, those elves saw the footprints gradually lighting up on the ground and didn’t know what was happening, but understood that this human might be tracking some elf.

Eventually, Yan Luo arrived at a district three streets away from the explosion site, following the extended footprints to see a pair of boots, his gaze continued upward to see an elf discussing the explosion with passersby.

That elf paused for a moment upon seeing the glowing footprints extend to himself, and then turned to flee.
