Chapter 94: Ice's First Battle: Red Eyes vs. Black Eyes

There were only three people in Bimoye's dormitory, his two companions. Ursula sat up, listening carefully to the noise outside: "Hey, listen, it seems very noisy outside."

Selt nodded; he had heard it too: "It's coming from far away. Although we can't hear it clearly here, it must be very chaotic."

"What happened?"

Selt smiled: "We'll know if we go and see. Hey, Bimoye..." Seeing the guy on the bed who was oblivious to the world: "Forget it, he won't join in this kind of commotion. Let's go." The two of them jumped out of the balcony and went to find the commotion.

Bimoye, who had lain down on the bed to sleep, slowly opened his eyes. Although he didn't like to join in the commotion, his ears were still paying attention to any sounds outside.

The main defensive array of the Great Blue Crystal Tower remained unchanged, primarily using the 'Illusory Magic Barrier.' Within this barrier, people inside could see the outside, but the outside could not see the living beings inside. Once this barrier was touched, it would trigger a special space, trapping the intruder.

Although the main array remained unchanged, it was combined with another large magic array, the 'Mentor of the Mind.' This magic array could forcibly influence the intruder's will and thoughts, controlling the intruder. It was indeed a very bizarre magic array.

However, what surprised Ice was not this, but the fact that combining these two magic arrays perfectly was not something an ordinary person could achieve. Two magic arrays existing in the same space could easily cause energy collisions and trigger a massive explosion. Even if the same person set up the arrays, they could still conflict due to the nature and energy state of the arrays. To overlap two or more magic arrays, one needed to offset the energy flow lines of the arrays to prevent them from intersecting and colliding, thus achieving coexistence.

For smaller and simpler magic arrays, this was easier to manage. However, for such large and complex systems, to make them coexist in the same space without intersecting required extremely advanced magic research, precise calculations, and absolutely accurate array layouts. So when Ice learned about this situation, he couldn't help but draw a deep breath. To combine such a large-scale and highly complex array, even though other mages might be able to accomplish it, only the Great Mage Dust Vashirub would have more confidence.

Despite his surprise, Ice already had a way to enter, thanks to Qin's help. Her mind control magic had revealed many things, especially about the Great Blue Crystal Tower, including the information about the 'Mentor of the Mind' array.

The array is dead, but the person is alive. As long as one doesn't mistakenly enter the array, there is no danger. With the information, Ice didn't spend much time or effort to successfully break through the two arrays, neither disabling them nor being trapped by them. Inside the array, the guards outside the Great Blue Crystal Tower had increased, but they were all insignificant to him.

Now, most of the people in the academy were distracted by the chaos created by 'Beverly.' Ice naturally wouldn't miss this rare opportunity. After dealing with the guards, he glanced at the blue glass piece in his hand. This could change the color of his pupils to prevent others from recognizing him by his eyes. However, after some thought, he decided not to use it and quickly re-entered the giant blue crystal tower.

Ursula and Selt walked back to the dormitory in a bad mood, cursing: "Damn, what the hell. We can't even take a look, and they force us to come back."

"But it seems like there's an earthquake, fire, flood, and ice disaster, and a giant forest. It might be an attack by someone?" Selt said: "I wonder who has the nerve to cause trouble in Kulandin."

Ursula opened the door and returned to the room: "Hey, Bimoye..." He stopped mid-sentence, seeing that Bimoye was no longer on the bed: "Where is he?"

In the orange teacher's office building, the dean of the academy, Edith Kilham, was also awakened by the incident. Seeing someone enter his office, he asked: "How is the situation?"

The person reporting the incident said: "The attack mainly occurred around Kulandin. The attackers did not intend to penetrate deep into the academy, seemingly just to create chaos. The enemy's strength is not strong, and we have already taken control of the situation. The incident should end soon."

Vice Dean Hancock Agnes said: "At first, we thought it might be the work of the Saint Bicaya, but now it seems this attack was just a feint to draw our attention. It probably wasn't the Saint Bicaya."

Kilham said: "If it's not to attack Kulandin, then it must be for something inside the Great Blue Crystal Tower."

"Are you saying it was the work of the Gale Thieves?" Agnes said: "According to the information from the captured Gale Thieves' squad leader, the previous theft was done by the Gale Thieves. For a famous thief, a failure is a great disgrace. After the last failure and the capture of his subordinates, he is very likely to return to clear his name."

"Whether or not it's him, the Great Blue Crystal Tower is the most important. It's a thorn in many people's sides. However, we have already made thorough preparations. Agnes, take a team and go there." Kilham said solemnly.

Bimoye stood outside the Great Blue Crystal Tower, seeing the guards lying unconscious around him, and frowned slightly. Since Selt and Ursula mentioned the theft at the Great Blue Crystal Tower, he had often heard his grandfather talk about the Gale Thieves and the theft at the tower, as well as the academy's investigation of the thieves. So when this incident occurred, he intuitively thought it might be related to the Great Blue Crystal Tower. Coming here, he found it was indeed the case.

The magical protective barrier had been breached by someone, creating an energy hole. From the speed at which the energy hole was disappearing, it was clear that the intruder had just entered. Bimoye raised an eyebrow and followed into the Great Blue Crystal Tower.

Ice quickly walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor. He had calculated the time, agreeing with Blanch to cause a disturbance for ten minutes. After ten minutes, they would leave. The aftermath of the incident and the pursuit by Kulandin would last about twenty to thirty minutes. He had spent about ten minutes breaking through the barrier, so he had to steal the item within the remaining ten minutes, or he would be surrounded by the entire faculty.

There was no magical barrier between the first and second floors. The ancient wooden shelves were filled with countless books, which, though rarely read, were spotless. In addition to the books, there were many valuable treasures, from armor to swords, precious magical items to rare rune stones, and countless other treasures.

Ice quickly glanced at these items and then ran directly to the third floor, knowing that there would be no important items on the second floor.

The Great Blue Crystal Tower was divided into five floors, with the value of the items increasing as one went up. From Sophina, he learned that the invaluable book "Sdebarte Gaitbalon's Dark Magic Insights" was stored on the third floor, so the items on the upper floors were unimaginable. Just as Ice was about to go to the fourth floor after quickly looking at the third floor, a person blocked his way: Christopher Bimoye.

Bimoye quietly looked at the person in black, whose figure clearly indicated he was a young boy of similar size. In the dim space illuminated by blue light, his blood-red eyes were particularly striking, emitting an eerie glow that tightly focused on the black-clad person.

Ice narrowed his eyes, his pitch-black pupils meeting the other's gaze. At this distance of less than three meters, neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

After three seconds, Bimoye still stood there motionless. Ice knew he wouldn't yield, and the inevitable battle was about to begin.

Feeling the other's fighting spirit, Bimoye slowly extended his hand, and white light particles gathered in his palm, emitting a cold aura. His blood-red eyes became even more brilliant, and powerful magic enveloped his entire body.

Suddenly, the bookshelves, weapon racks, and item stands began to move, widening the corridor-like passage. Seeing the items move to the sides, Ice and Bimoye were slightly surprised, as if someone had been waiting for them and deliberately cleared a space for their battle.

The moment the bookshelves moved, Ice knew his theft plan had failed again. To avoid being caught, he should immediately flee, but he was unwilling. Looking at the red eyes in front of him, he knew the other person also wanted to fight. He himself was eager to determine who was stronger. This person, hailed as the capital's top genius, who had such strength at just 14 years old, how could he not want to fight?

Time seemed to stop, and the air felt heavy. A figure stood far away in the darkness, feeling the oppressive atmosphere. He could clearly sense the fighting spirit of both sides. Suddenly, the tense atmosphere was broken, and the blood-red light and the pitch-black meteor simultaneously burst forth, colliding with powerful wills.
