Zodiac City.
"This is the fastest way to reach the academy," Elder Sinure said as his broad figure led the group.
Having little to no knowledge about the many layouts of the planets in the sector, Emery just nodded his head going along with the plan.
Previously, just before they departed, the Bird bloodline elder had ordered all eight flagbearers of Zodiac City to fill the Gemini spaceship the city had with the 100 best half-blood warriors it had.
They were all assigned to the institutes of the Magus Academy which the elder believed would be targeted in this invasion. The elder presented a logical reason as to why things would turn out the way they did.
"With an attack of this massive scale, there's no doubt the enemy will be attacking them as well. And with most of the instructors attending the tournament, those institutes are more vulnerable than usual."
As for the Magus Academy, which was about to be flooded by an ocean of elves, instead of sending hundreds of half-blood warriors as reinforcement, it was quickly decided it would be the three elders themselves who attend the issue.
In order to get ahead, Emery joined with the three elders using the teleportation gate. They made their way to the closest planet to the academy that had a functional portal, as they planned to cover the rest of the distance via other means.
"The Ermentaust Village should have small ships available, that will cut our travel time by half."
Thinking about the plan, as soon as they walked out of the portal, Emery took out a huge item from his Spatial Space and showed it to the three elders. Seeing the pitch-black construct lying before them, the three knowledgeable people immediately recognized it as an elven ship.

Needless to say, the elders were amused seeing the ship, especially because it was Emery who took it out.
"Hmm, this one indeed should get us faster, but it being an elven ship, there will definitely be some risks," Elder Kurma said, contemplating about the pros and cons of taking the ship as their transport.
However, without time to discuss, Sinure suggested an idea that seemed out of this world. As [Revenant] was a one-man spaceship, he proposed Emery would board and pilot the ship towards the Academy while the three grand magus would attach themselves outside of the ship, hitchhiking along the way.
"15 minutes in the hyper-speed and we will arrive in glorious flames," the Bird elder said in his attempt to tease the other two, whose cultivation were one cosmos below him.
Elder Lilith, who was the most arrogant and possessed high proficiency in the fire element, was certainly not one to back down against such a challenge, while Elder Kurma had the most durable physique among the three of them thanks to the inherent quality of his bloodline. That said, both of them were successfully blurred to go along with the crazy plan.
With this setup, Emery drove the Revenant out of the planet and towards the Magus Academy at breakneck speed, desperately hoping that he was not too late.
"Wait for Me, Klea!" He said as he clenched his fists in nervousness.
Unfortunately, just several minutes after they took off and flew at high speed, thanks to their transport identity of an elven ship, they were swiftly chased by a Magus Alliance patrol spaceship and shot down without even a warning.

*****
Apart from the half-bloods from Zodiac City, on two different sides of the sector, two warships could also be seen heading towards the Magus Academy in a great hurry.
One was a pitch-black massive warship, Dreadnought. Captained by the renowned Combat Magus, lord Izta Gilgamesh, transporting over three thousands veteran fighters that were tempered by the flames of frontline battle.
"Time travel he said? Emery said that? Are you sure!? Hahaha," Lord Izta teased the young Thracian before him, thinking he had had too much to drink. Still, even though he didn't understand nor believe the story he was told, the newly-inaugurated battle commander of the warship was more than willing to come and provide assistance for his junior.
Meanwhile, the second warship headed for the Magus Academy was bearing the striking color of brilliant white. This one belonged to one of the few Grade 5 factions of the Magus Alliance, the Nephilim faction.
It took some time and a great deal of intelligence, but Julian eventually managed to convince the calculating Nephilim Princess to agree to come and help the Academy through the impending disaster.
In reality, the way she saw this entire situation, whether the elves actually attacked or not, she would still be at loss for joining the battle with her personal warship.
Alas, when she tried to pull Eeshoo from potential danger in the academy, all attempts of contact were unsuccessful, forcing her to bring her force of two grand magus and a dozen magus to rescue her prince.

Golden City
Chaos sprouted in the city as an attack was carried out on the Magus Alliance headquarters a few minutes ago. Fortunately, due to the information given by two Academy acolytes and a certain, unknown grand magus named Fuxi, Magister Barty managed to pull most of his enforcers back to the headquarters, lessening the damage it would otherwise suffer.
Though they were unsuccessful in stopping the bombardment of the headquarters' power crystal, they still managed to capture the group of intruders who turned out to be Tiger bloodline half-bloods.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAmongst them, one famous Elder Shan was present, the man took the joint effort of Fuxi and Barty to be captured.
As soon as the intruders were caught, the mysterious Fuxi didn't leave. Instead, the man offered his help in dealing with the events that had just occurred in the Golden City prison and help the headmaster who was stuck inside.
The Tiger bloodline elder, who still resisted arrest despite being caught, finally turned anxious when he saw two powerful figures approaching from the sky. King Alduin of Zodiac City and Rosin Karat, the protector of Golden City.
Seeing the aftermath of battle in the headquarters, the old Supreme Magus said,
"Apparently, It's true… We are under attack."
King Alduin glared at his own Tiger elder, who was involved in the attack, however after a quick coordination with Magister Barty, the two supreme figures dashed away into the sky, heading to the Magus Academy. Seeing this, the Tiger half-blood was laughing hysterically.
"Hahaha! There is no point! You are too late! You are all too late!"
