“Yes, we can’t just turn a blind eye while running for our lives!” Ernesto shouted passionately.
Many alchemists, who had been kept in the dark, also began to respond enthusiastically.
Only Wyatt, Dylan, and a few others remained silent, watching Thaddeus closely.
Seeing that Thaddeus wanted to rally people to stand alongside Medicine God Island in their defense, Maxence was deeply moved.
“President Surrey, thank you for thinking of us here at Medicine God Island. However, my father has made it clear that it’s crucial for you all to leave safely. The Sky Slasher Sect’s magecraft is too powerful for us to handle,” Maxence said.
“Mr. Maxence, even if it means death, we will not allow Medicine God Island to bear this burden alone,” Thaddeus declared with righteous resolve.
“Waylon, Dylan, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you planning to run away? Aren’t you supposed to be from reputable medical families? I think that’s a load of nonsense…” Ernesto mocked when he saw that the Zorn and Zeever families were not speaking up.
“Hey!” Dylan and Waylon were immediately enraged and were about to speak when Wyatt stopped them.
Wyatt had figured it out-Thaddeus and the others were clearly trying to drag everyone into a fight with the Sky Slasher Sect!
“Everyone, we appreciate your good intentions, and Medicine God Island acknowledges them. However, none of you need to go. It’s better that you leave quickly. Mr. Chance has already gone to help, so I must go stop him as soon as possible, which means I can’t take you with me,” Maxence said, turning to leave.
“Mr. Maxence, did you say that Jared went to confront the Sky Slasher Sect?” Viola quickly asked.
“Yes, when I arrived, I ran into Mr. Chance. After he heard what was happening, he rushed off to help my father. So I must stop him before he risks his life!” Maxence said before leaping up.
Viola glanced at Sylvain, and the two immediately chased after Maxence.
Now that they knew Jared was involved, there was no way they could escape alone.
Seeing this, Wyatt turned to Waylon and Dylan, saying, “Since Jared has gone, we can’t stand by and do nothing. Let’s go.”
They had been saved by Jared before, so now that Jared was in danger, they couldn’t just ignore it.
Soon, everyone hurried to the port of Medicine God Island, boarded the spirit ships, heading straight toward the battle.
At this moment, Jared was using his Blazing Stride to quickly approach the battlefield on the sea.
Boom!
With a thunderous explosion, Jared found himself surrounded by thick smoke.
Hundreds of people, clad in black robes with their faces covered, were casting magecraft continuously, while Sylvain and the disciples of Medicine God Island were desperately resisting.
Several spirit ships beneath Sylvain and his men had already been destroyed, billowing thick smoke into the air.
Countless magecraft rained down from the sky, relentlessly attacking the people of Medicine God Island.
Sylvain was using golden beetles to counter the surrounding magecraft. These golden beetles had incredible biting power, and thousands of them were tearing through the spells with sheer force!
However, large swaths of golden beetles were also falling one after another, and the sea surface was littered with their bodies.
Without these golden beetles, Sylvain and his people would have been defeated long ago.
Even so, Medicine God Island’s disciples were still being killed by the onslaught of magecraft!
“Mr. Laurent, we can’t hold on much longer. If we don’t leave now, we’re all going to die here,” an elder shouted to Sylvain.
“We can’t leave! Hold on a little longer. I’m not sure if the alchemists on the island have evacuated yet.” Sylvain gritted his teeth. Even if it meant death, he needed to buy more time.
If all the alchemists were trapped on Medicine God Island, the Alchemist Guild might disappear from Ethereal Realm.
“Sylvain, what’s the point of your desperate struggle? All you’re doing is delaying the inevitable. The result will be the same,” a masked man taunted Sylvain.
