The thundering voice of the Great Elder Blishhan echoed in the central square: "Heirs of the Hand of Brahma, we are facing unprecedented threats. But please remember that our strength comes from unity."
Ebert stood in the crowd, feeling the tense and determined atmosphere of his companions around him. His eyes swept over Akash, Saraswati, and other members of various departments. Determination was written on everyone's face.
Suddenly, there was a burst of harsh laughter in the sky. The seven men in black robes slowly landed outside the square, and the dark magic they exuded made the air thicken.
The leading man in black robes said: "What a touching scene. Successors of the Hand of Brahma, prepare to welcome your doomsday."
Elder Blishhan took a step forward, and the ninth-level magic power of the mentor around him was as if it were real substance: "Who are you? Why are you attacking our academy?"
"We are the forgotten shadows, the power suppressed by your so-called 'orthodox magic'," the man in black robe sneered, "Now, it's time to let the world know who is the real master of magic."
Before he finished speaking, seven men in black robes launched attacks at the same time. Powerful dark magic flooded into the members of the Hand of Brahma.
"Defensive formation!" Great Elder Blishhan shouted.
Ebert immediately stood together with his companions from the Atri Water Department, condensing water magic to form a solid barrier. Members of other departments also used their respective strengths to jointly resist the attack from the men in black robes.
The battle broke out instantly. Magical rays of light crisscrossed the air, and deafening explosions occurred one after another. Ebott concentrated on maintaining his defense while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
"Ebert!" Akash's voice came from the side, "We need to coordinate the attack. You are responsible for containing it, and I will break through!"
Ebert nodded and quickly adjusted his strategy. He controlled a large amount of water to form countless small water arrows, which were shot at a man in black robes intensively. The man in black robe had to be distracted, giving Akash an opportunity.
Akash seized the opportunity and directly hit the man in black robe with a powerful sealing magic. The man in black robe let out a scream and his figure began to twist.
"Well done!" Great Elder Blishhan praised, "Everyone, continue to maintain this cooperation!"
The battle continued fiercely, with both sides going back and forth. Although the members of Brahma's Hand had the numerical advantage, the strength of the seven men in black robes far exceeded expectations. Every attack contains powerful and strange magic power, which makes people overwhelmed.
At this moment, Saraswati suddenly exclaimed: "Be careful! They are casting some kind of strange magic circle!"
Ebert looked up and saw seven men in black robes suddenly stopped attacking individually, but formed a circle and began to chant ancient and mysterious songs.
Elder Blishhan's face changed drastically: "This is...an ancient forbidden art! Quick, we must stop them!"
mantra. The magic in the air is becoming more and more chaotic, and a heart-stopping force is gathering.
However, it was too late. Following a loud noise that shook the earth, a dazzling black light shot into the sky. When the light dissipated, everyone was horrified to find that the entire magic academy was surrounded by a huge black magic shield.
"Hahaha!" the leader of the men in black robes laughed wildly, "Now, you are all trapped here. No one can escape, and no one can come to save you. Let us play slowly, successors of the Hand of Brahma them."
Abbott felt an unprecedented fear. He looked around and saw the same panic on the faces of his companions. But he knew now was not the time to back down. No matter how many unknowns and dangers lie ahead, they must persevere.
