Yuvn threw an exquisite necklace in the mid-air. The necklace emitted a blinding red light.
Ohm!
Bargan frowned as he tried to move away but the seven-circle officer in front of him emitted the same red light along with the rest of the seven-circle officers.
"What's this?!"
A red arc of lightning burst out and it flew towards Bargan. Bargan quickly created a flame barrier but the lightning flew around the barrier as if it was trying to restrain him.
"Sealing spell…?!"
He was shocked as he realized what these people were trying to do. His power erupted out of his body but he found out that no matter what he did he couldn't moved out of the red lightning arc.
"Hahaha!" Yuvn laughed madly as red lightning burst out of his body. He looked at Bargan and said, "This our plan! We will seal you!"
At this moment, the red lightning erupted and grew thicker. It swallowed everything within three kilometers. The dark-grade necklace disintegrated into tiny particles, releasing boundless energy to seal Bargan.
This artifact was a one-time use dark grade artifact. It could seal anyone under the god-level for one month at the cost of all the energy of seven-circle officers. Normally, only god-level could use this artifact but the Seven Deadly Sins used several seven-circle officers to activate this item. It has a drawback and that's the seven-circle power level will decrease by two levels.
Well, it all depends on the power of the person who was being sealed. If he was at god-level then this seal would only last for a few hours at most but if he was a demigod then it would last for a few days under the condition that he resisted inside the seal all the time.
Demigod was a person who undergo deification but eventually failed making them reach the place between mortals and gods. That's the demigod. Half-god and half-mortal.
The seven-circle officers didn't care about the loss of power. They just have to seal the thorn in their plan, Bargan Hevifield.
Yuvn and the rest breath a sighed of relief when they saw that they successfully sealed Bargan. With this, no one would be able to prevent them from completing their objectives.
They moved their eyes and looked down at the city which was covered in barrier. They could leave everything to their comrades as they don't have the strength to fight. Their body was full of injuries and their mana was drained. Also, their power levels which were at the Hero-rank and SSS-rank decreased by two levels.
To recover their lost strength, they would have to train again to reach their original power level before they used the dark grade sealing artifact. But it will take them a large amount of time before they could reach their original strength. It could take them more than ten years and maybe they will not be able to regain it in their lifetime. Well, it all depends on their talents.
"We've used to one-time dark grade artifacts in this mission."
They used the other dark grade artifact to link the teleportation spell inside the barrier. The barrier isolated the city so the space attribute spell wouldn't be able to do anything. Unless they have formed a connection in the barrier any space type spell will be rejected so they have to use a dark grade artifact to forcefully established a connection inside the barrier.
…
Lumilia was standing on top of the legion building along with Lynn, Alice, and Yujin. They were surveying the battlefield which was the entire city.
"The battle in the district one is the fiercest in all battlefield. The city lord, the guild master, and the high-level teachers are currently fighting the high-level members of Seven Deadly Sins in that area." Lumilia said as she squinted her eyes. She then opened a map of the entire city.
She drew a circle around the district one with red pen before she added, "From the fluctuations of energy, we could guess that the casualties in that area are high. I've estimated that eighty percent of people in that area are already dead."
"That's horrible…" Lynn muttered as she imagined the scene in that place.
"We're at district three and the battle here isn't the largest among the rest of the district," Yujin said as he glanced at the map.
"The forces of the Seven Deadly Sins are slowly advancing. They are killing everyone and we must help the civilians evacuate in this place." Lumilia paused for a moment before she added, "We will gather every and cooperate with the city guards in protecting the citizen."
"At this rate, we will lose. Everyone in this city will die. We don't have enough manpower." Alice said seriously.
"Yeah, I'm sure that the city lord already requested reinforcement in our neighboring city. We just need to hold on." Lumilia said with a gloomy look on her face.
"So what are your orders? Souta was inside the barrier of the institute so you're the only one who can give us orders." Yujin said as he turned his head and glanced in the direction of the Ladro Institute.
"I'll divide the legion into three groups. You will lead the first group, Yujin. And you will lead the second group, Alice." Lumilia said as she pointed at district four and two on the map. "Alice I'll leave the district two to you and Yujin district three. You two know what you should do."
"Okay." Alice nodded at her.
"Sure, leave it to me. If there's any problem I'll contact you using the transmission talisman." Yujin said as he turned around and left.
Alice glanced at Lumilia and Lynn before she left without saying anything. She could leave this district to them.
After the two left, Lynn looked at Lumilia and said, "How about me, Mila?"
"You and I will stay here. We'll contact the various forces in this district and help them clear the Seven Deadly Sins' members in this area." Lumilia said.
She planned to gather the adventurers that weren't part of their legion and also the forces of the nobles in this district. This was the only thing they could do in this situation. If they didn't cooperate then everyone will die.
…
"Hehe~ I didn't expect that you're a traitor, Teacher Franco."
A man wearing the uniform of the institute said with a laugh. He strode forward as both of his hands were in the pockets of his pants. He had shoulder-length black hair. His eye color was pure black and his skin was pale as if he didn't have blood in his body.
He was Rein Ventogram, the Top 2 Ranker of the Ladro Institute. The most powerful student next to Yanagi Shina.
Rein stopped in front of a man wearing a lab coat. He squinted his eyes and he glanced at the bloodstain on the man's white coat.
"You're a teacher, right? So why did you kill those second years behind you? If you don't answer my question I'll personally kill you on behalf of those students that you killed." Rein said in a chilly tone as his killing intent burst out like a raging tide.
Franco grinned as he held his face before he combed his hair with his fingers.
"Hahaha! I never betray anyone! From the beginning, seven years ago I applied here with a plan in my mind!" He laughed before he glanced at the students who were lying on the pool of blood behind him. "Also, I didn't kill them. I just fatally injured them and if they don't receive medication within two hours they will die. I never want to kill a student from Ladro Institute. After all, I've grew fond of this school after teaching for seven years."
"Tsk! You're a sc.u.m! You will tell me your plan after I've beat you!" Rein grinned as several magic circles appeared behind him.
Franco quickly jumped away as a pair of orange grade gauntlets covered his fist. 'He wouldn't cast those spells. There are students behind me.' He thought before he glanced behind him. He then opened his eyes widely as he saw several layers of barrier were covering the students on the pool of blood.
"Shit! He already created a shield to protect them! So fast!"
Franco cursed as he crossed his arms in front of him and several spells landed on his body causing several explosions that destroy the place around them.
Boom! Boom!
Smoke and dust shot up and clouded the area. It blocked Rein's vision to a certain degree.
"Not a problem to me." He muttered as he tapped his feet on the ground and used [Ground Sensing Vibration] spell.
"Oh? He's here!"
After he casted the spell, Rein took a step back as layers of barriers formed around him and Franco came out of the smoke.
Swoosh!
Franco quickly zoomed the distance between them and threw a powerful punch at Rein.
'Master Randolf waited for this opportunity for a long time so I'll stop everyone who got in his way!'
