Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up

Everyone looked at Hans, filled with shame.

They suddenly realized that the Earth City they relied on for survival had already become ruins, and the Water City they intended to seek refuge in was now submerged deep underwater.

As it stands.

Where could they go?

If they kept fleeing every time they faced danger, would there still be more cities waiting for them to seek refuge?

Who knows if the current situation could happen again.

Something significant must have changed in the Magic World; otherwise, such bizarre events couldn’t possibly occur.

Everyone realized this.

They looked at Zhao Yi with determined eyes.

"I decided to go with you. It’s just death. What’s the big deal? Besides, if we leave here, where else could we go?"

"That’s right. Zhao Yi, what do you need us to do? Although my strength isn’t on par with yours, I’m willing to contribute whatever little I can since you ask."

"If there’s anywhere you can use me, just say so. With so many of us here, can we still be afraid of facing the enemy? Even if it’s a numbers game, we might still be able to defeat the opponents, right?"

...

Zhao Yi looked at the last person who spoke, full of confidence, but his expression was somewhat helpless.

The fact is that a numbers game is useless against someone like Moska.

When someone reaches a certain mastery level, they’re on a completely different plane, and the concept of a numbers game doesn’t even exist.

Perhaps with just one glance, others can crush your spirit, and you’ll die instantly. How would you fight then?

However.

He already had a method in mind to defeat the enemy, but he still needed to verify his thoughts for now.

Seeing so many people willing to fight, Zhao Yi smilingly said, "In that case, everyone, follow me into the Water City."

"Of course, those below the rank of a Great Mage don’t need to go. You haven’t reached internal breath control yet, so you can’t breathe underwater. Going there wouldn’t be of much help."

Many people silently stepped back.

Even though they wanted to help, the disparity in strength made aiding futile and possibly a hindrance.

Moreover.

Zhao Yi made it clear that a Great Mage is merely a threshold.

Those who can truly help are mainly Mages.

Soon.

A group arrived at the Water City.

When they saw the scene before them, they were so shocked they didn’t know what to say.

Some had been to the Water City before and now saw their familiar city lying at the bottom of the lake, covered by a thick water curtain.

Everything inside the city seemed frozen in the past.

Streets were littered with broken stones and toppled buildings.

Everything appeared lifeless, but the occasional sound of water provided a faint sign of life.

Entering this dead city, an ancient fountain no longer sprayed water, leaving only a dry basin and withered plants. Statues around were eroded by time, their features blurred, as if telling stories of the city’s past and glory.

As people followed Zhao Yi, someone noticed a friend’s former house and couldn’t help but glance at it.

Sparse light filtered through window curtain cracks, casting dappled light inside.

The room was disturbingly quiet, eerily silent as he got closer, seeing familiar furniture, couches, tables, beds...

It was once a lively place, but now it exuded an eerie atmosphere.

In a corner of the room was a single bed, the covers disheveled. A man lay stiffly on the bed, pain etched on his face, eyes shut tight as if evading something. His body was cold, fingers trembling slightly, seemingly conveying a final message of fear to the world.

Seeing the familiar friend, the person couldn’t help but sigh, "What kind of monster would do this?"

Zhao Yi spoke, "The one responsible is a Great Mage named Moska. He’s in the central tower of the city, along with dozens of Mages who, though still have the Mage prowess, now fight on sheer instinct as they’ve lost their lives."

"Coming here, I may as well confess to everyone. I might need your help to lend me your Power of Earth Element, which I’ll use to confront Moska."

Hans nodded, "Don’t worry. Just tell us what to do."

"Choosing to come here means placing unconditional trust in you."

Zhao Yi said, "It’s actually quite simple. Moska only has Great Mage power, but he can nearly reach the power of a Fa-Shen. Despite lacking the support of Law Fragments, he can cast a field that significantly amplifies his strength,"

"I realized that his prowess came from the help of those Mages before. Without them, I couldn’t have left so easily."

Zhao Yi summarized succinctly, though it didn’t matter whether they understood. He just instructed them to stay where they were based on where he previously saw people on the tower.

Next. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He intended to find Moska and observe the operation of those Earth Elements to understand how it was done,

At this point.

Zhao Yi realized that his insight into the Earth Element might be different from others.

Not to mention,

The fact that he could infinitely accommodate Elemental Power was something no one else could do.

Moreover.

Alice was already a rare genius in a millennium, and her Power of Earth Element prompted John from the Earth City to recruit her.

Yet, compared to Zhao Yi, their talents weren’t even on the same scale.

Especially Alice’s affinity with the Earth Element was not even one-tenth of Zhao Yi’s.

So it was.

Alice could already cast some Magic across ranks.

Imagine how easy it was for Zhao Yi to comprehend Earth Element spells, akin to drinking water.

If not, he wouldn’t boldly lead so many Mages into battle against Moska.

Approaching the tower, before he even reached it, an intense killing voice immediately emanated from within.

"Damn it, how dare you come back?"

As he spoke, he instantly mobilized Elemental Power, launching an attack toward Zhao Yi.

From afar.

The Mages from the Earth City saw the relentless barrages of spells directed at Zhao Yi, faces turning pale in an instant.

They saw Zhao Yi engulfed by countless Water Element Magic attacks, massive waves rose, seemingly submerging the entire land under the water.

Numerous fine droplets formed mist that sparkled under the sunlight like a rain of diamonds falling from the sky, breathtakingly beautiful but full of latent danger. If the rain touched anyone, it would likely cost them their life or at least cause serious injury.
