Chapter 903: Chapter 425: The Death of the Sage, Mana Source Stone

[The ’Sage Osborne’ inside the storage room, hearing your receding footsteps, did not act rashly but closed his eyes to quietly sense with his mental power.]

[Only after confirming that you had indeed left the area did he dare to step out of the protected range of the ’Knowledge Light Wall’.]

[He stamped his foot in frustration, cursing himself for not stopping you.]

[’Sage Osborne’ thought of his colleagues still fighting the Stars monsters outside, hurriedly took large strides toward the door, ready to pull it open and leave the storage room...]

[Just as he was opening the door, a flashing light shone down from above the doorframe!]

[Being a Demigod level sage, he naturally recognized that this was the light emitted by a trap device.]

[And the trap device that had suddenly appeared at the entrance of the storage room was most likely set by the ’True God Apostle’ who just left to deal with him.]

[’Sage Osborne’ paled with shock, about to raise his magic wand and summon the ’Knowledge Light Wall’ to protect his entire body...]

[But by then, the teleportation light already enveloped his entire body...]

[’Sage Osborne’ cursed loudly, and with a flash of teleportation light, his figure disappeared from the entrance of the storage room, forcibly transported to an unknown location...]

[...]

[Your ’Teleportation Trap Device’ has been triggered and is now activated!]

Lin Xun showed a satisfied smile.

He hadn’t gone far at this point, as the ’Cage of the Stars’ painting and the teleportation trap device would fail to work if they were more than a kilometer apart due to the distance being too great.

He quickly returned to the storage room, and indeed, ’Sage Osborne’ was nowhere to be seen.

The painting he carried on his shoulder showed a high delay in response, and although ’Sage Osborne’s’ figure had not yet appeared on the screen, Lin Xun was already certain that the man was now imprisoned inside the painting.

He removed the ’Teleportation Trap Device’ from the doorframe, planning to reuse it.

This device was notorious for ensnaring people; without any precautions, even Demigod level powerhouses couldn’t escape its forced teleportation.

He didn’t believe any sage would walk around constantly shielded by a magic barrier for all their daily activities.

After retrieving the ’Teleportation Trap Device’, Lin Xun discovered that its remaining energy had decreased from 50/100 to 0/100.

The item description showed that the device’s energy was exhausted and could not be set again for use.

"I’ll just have to visit the workshop and find Coleman later, as the legendary master who made the Refined Copper device, he’ll definitely have a way to restore its energy."

[Outside the corridor window, the sages were still fiercely battling the Stars Evil God to protect the academy; they didn’t summon the Prophet from the Imperial City again, suggesting there must be some limitation to the summoning magic array.]

[Cunning and tricky Apostle, what will be your next move?]

[1. While the sages are still fighting the Stars Evil God, you can take the ’Cage of the Stars’ along with ’Sage Osborne’ inside and slip away from the academy unnoticed, then take your time to deal with him.]

[2. Find a corner to secretly lie in wait, and when the battle between the sages and the Stars Evil God reaches its climax, look for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on a sage. If you can manage to kill a few sages, you would significantly weaken the Direct View Association’s power.]

[3. Continue to stay in the storage room; the battle between the few sages and the Stars Evil God won’t end anytime soon. You can destroy the protective magic on the storage cabinets, taking everything that can be stolen into your possession before fleeing the academy.]

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, his mind racing with thoughts.

He had to remain in the academy for now because the sages were resisting the Stars Evil God to protect the academy and the many young students.

If he were to flee the academy now... Don’t forget, the object of the Stars Evil God’s pursuit was him. If he fled, the Stars Evil God would surely follow right behind him.

At that point, it would be Lin Xun alone facing the formidable Evil God...

He didn’t select any of the options but clicked on the painting to teleport directly into ’Cage of the Stars’!

[Transport in progress...]

[...]

[...]

[Transport Successful!]

[Transport Successful!]

[You open your eyes and find yourself in the cold, dark void. Not far away float cages of varying sizes, like shattered stars...]

[Hundreds of cages lie empty; the few demons remaining had died by your sword.]

[You control the disc of starlight beneath your feet, floating toward the largest of the distant cages...]

[That immense cage, once imprisoning the ’Abyss Destroyer Demon’, now confines a solitary figure.]

[As you draw closer, you see the person who is ceaselessly trying to attack the cage, attempting to break free, and it is none other than ’Sage Osborne’!]

[He obviously noticed your approach and ceased his futile struggle, eyes filled with cold anger and resentment...]

Lin Xun had no interest in exchanging words with him and entered the cage to launch a furious attack.

If his predictions were correct, the Mythical+ level defensive magic used by ’Sage Osborne’ earlier could not have originated from himself but from a magical ring.

This sage himself could at most possess Mythical level skills and magic.

Sage Osborne had just exhausted the magic rings at his disposal; without any other means, he could only die under the overpowering assault of the Son of Evil.

[...]

[Under your relentless strikes, the Knowledge Light Wall crumbled to pieces in an instant!]

[’Sage Osborne’ knowing his doom was sealed, his face twisted in rage, roared that the Head had forbidden harm to a True God Apostle’s life.]

[But this was something you forced him into; even if you die by his hand, it would be a fate you brought upon yourself!]
