Chapter 1685
Bam
Unfazed by the commotion behind them, Wu Yan continued forward.
Shin had his Systematic Control magic circuit which gave similar abilities to Vector manipulation. It might be way inferior when compared to Accelerator's Vector manipulation but that is a high-level comparison already.
Shin had tremendous fighting capabilities. Frey, Raishin, and Charlotte might not be able to win if they're careless.
However, this is assuming Loki didn't appear.
Loki is more powerful than just Frey, Charlotte, or Raishin.
On a 1v1 basis, Loki would be disadvantaged against Shin, but only a little.
Wu Yan didn't say anything after detecting Loki's arrival. He left with his ladies in tow.
Wu Yan entered the cleared-out mansion compound. He went past the icy statues he made before this.
He is almost at the Principal's mansion.
Wu Yan & Co. stopped after entering the barrier erected around the mansion. They were standing on a road paved with white bricks.
A building stood there that looked just slightly better than the buildings around it.
It's the Principals' office.
Wu Yan & co didn't stop to admire the structure.
They stopped because a muscular man in suit stood like a general in the middle of the path.
'Truthfully, I am amazed."
The general stared in his direction with a sharp gaze.
"I know you're more powerful than the students. However, I didn't expect you to get past even the Marshal, Magnus himself."
"Yeah, I am shocked too."
Wu Yan smiled as he greeted the principal.
"The strongest mage of the 19th century, The ruler of Walpurgis Academy, Edward Rutherford himself, you came all the way here to greet me too."
"My motto is to uphold the principal of the carrot and the stick."
The principal smiled affably.
"You, who beat Magnus, deserve a reward."
"Is the reward obediently surrendering your life to me?"
Wu Yan smirked.
"You know, I am here to kill you, right?"
"Yes, I am here to talk about that."
The principal calmly replied.
"Wu Yan, just back down."
"Your reward is a single line of advice?"
Wu Yan sighed.
"How disappointing..."
"Magnus is the treasure of Walpurgis Academy."
The principal started a monologue.
"This school cultivates outstanding mages and Puppeteers. Magnus is the no.1 student unseen before and most likely unchallenged for the Satan seat. No, he is already the no.1. He's too precious."
"I thought there was one Magnus, however, your appearance truly dropped my sturdy jaws."
The principal nodded.
"It pains me to lose a treasure on par with Magnus. Back down and enjoy privileges similar to Magnus, how does that sound? We can forget everything here."
"I know not the value of Magnus to the school nor do I know my status in your hearts."
Wu Yan stared straight back.
"But, it makes me nauseous that you would commodify students like products."
"Oh?'
The principal nodded as if he expected this.
"So, you're hellbent on killing me?"
"Yeah, I thought I made that abundantly clear?"
Wu Yan grinned.
"I attacked once before, didn't I?"
"Okay, here's a question."
The principal asked.
"Wu Yan, you're stronger than the Satans who dominated Walpurgis Nights before, but, what makes you think you can kill me?"
"I will let you in on something."
The principal continued lecturing as if Wu Yan was in a class.
"The students who won Walpurgis Nights are called Satans. Do you know what makes up my title, the 19th century strongest mage?"
"Because you're a monster who stood above even the Satans of the 19th century, right?"
Wu Yan smirked.
"Okay, principal, I have a question for you. Do you think I would be intimidated by something like that?"
"Oh, is that so?"
The principal closed his eyes.
"This is regrettable."
The principal lifted a finger as space warped his fingers.
Mana burned as the burning mana formed a circle of magic formations.
It is a star of Solomon, the hexagram shone brilliantly as various magical sigils lit up near it.
An ancient tome appeared from the magic formation.
"That's..."
Natsuki frowned.
"An Index?"
"Solomon's Key, to be exact."
Edward held the tome up high with a proud tone.
"A great wizard poured his everything into this magic tome, it is from the future."
"An Index from the future?"
Wu Yan, Ikaros, Astrea, Avrora, and Kanon paused.
Natsuki explained.
"A wizard used time magic to send the tome back to this era?!"
"For an automaton, you know a lot about magic theory."
Edward praised Natsuki.
"Correct, this is Legemeton, the Lesser Key of Solomon, an index of automata summons."
"Index?"
"With it, I can summon automata from the future."
The headmaster raised his magic tome.
"Throughout the ages, The Key has lost some of its contents, including some being stolen by other. Evens o, I can control 50 futuristic automata to attack you."
The book flipped open on its own, illuminating Edward's face.
"Allow me to demonstrate one of my favorite automata."
A magic wave surged out with Edward as the center of the magic.
