Yumi heaved a sigh of relief after learning that Ace woulde to help them!
In truth, even though this is the capital, she''s worried that the preparation by the Grand Sages was not enough to deal with the Space Beasts…
She wasn''t underestimating the two since they''ve dealt with the magicians of Seiji recently, however, the strength of these beasts is on a different level.
They appear to be immune to physical attacks and they also have extremely high resistance against Mana Spells.
They''ve noticed that only spells at the level of Grade 5 would actually reach them and deal a bit of damage to their scales or skins.
However, it is obviously not enough to kill them since they could easily regenerate whatever wound they inflicted.
Aside from that, their usage of Grade 5 Spells was costly and they couldn''t use them in session.
"We just have tost until Ace and his teames… I''m not sure about his n but this is better than nothing." Yumimented as she pocketed hermunication device. She has to let the Grand Sages know about their reinforcement so they wouldn''t give up protecting the city.
They may also use this to increase the morale of their soldiers so she hurriedly wore her uniform and went to the city walls.
"Chief Yumi! Where are you going?!"
Her subordinates called for her as they followed quickly.
Yumi is not just a chief of NMTI and a member of the War Council but she''s also the sessor of Grandma Thea or also known as Saintess Thea…
At this date, Yumi is the only practitioner of the Secret Art: Body Transformations.
The first stage of this ability is to allow her to control her body age to a certain extent… This is what she had masteredpletely while the second stage and third stage were at an advanced level of master.
It can be said that the difficulty of this Art is at the level of Wace''s Secret Art: Flowing Spirit!
Of course, this is still above his other Secret Art which is the AOTL.
Nevertheless, it means that her life is extremely important and her subordinates were there to ensure that she would live even after this war is over.
"Just follow me… I need to discuss something with the War Council."
"Got it… We will follow you." Her loyal subordinate nodded as he made a few hand gestures to signal the other group of people watching her.
They are serious about protecting her life so many of them are assigned to ensure her security.

Miss Chamber and Miya have just finished their morning routine and were about to visit theboratory here on the Floating Ind when they suddenly heard Avalon''s report.
During the past few weeks, they have been researching the best method to share their affinity with the Soul Arts or particrly, the Death Energy.
[ Ten newly advanced Cryptic Mages have arrived to assist in your research. ]
"Wait, you''ve promised to give is thirty of them! What happened?" Miss Chamber asked in confusion.
This is probably the first time that Avalon didn''t keep their words…
[ The Alien activity has increased by 24% in the past 72 hours. The ground soldiers require more help. At the moment, only these mages were capable of overpowering the Khrusams and they are crucial in each battle. ]
Avalon exined. Miss Chamber could only keep silent with that reason. She knows that the situation below wasn''t that good anyway…
Miya only smiled helplessly at this as sheforted the Headmaster.
"Do not worry, we''ll do something about it. Though arger sample is better, we can still work with this smaller with higher efficiency…"
At this moment, their research requires newly advanced Cryptic Mages since they could easily see the changes that have happened within their bodies.
Their link with mana would still be very obvious or perhaps exposed to their sight, whenever they use their Soul Arts.
With this technique, they would be capable of analyzing the difference between the Arcane Link and Cryptic Link…
If that happened, they would perhaps discover the secret why they are not being affected by any bacsh whenever they use any forbidden magic!
That''s right!
The other aim of this research is to find a way to avoid the forbidden magic''s bacsh on magicians and share it with everyone who is qualified!
If they have sessfully found a method for this, they would no longer need to sacrifice their elite magicians and they could help with the burden that the Cryptic Mages are shouldering right now…
"Haa~ Alright, we''ll on it. Thanks, Avalon."
[ You''re wee. ]
Themunication device then turned off as they headed to theirboratory.
Miya had actually gotten used to her current job right now… She would work on her research until the afternoon, then meet many important people that were living here on the floating ind, eat healthy food, and she could even rx in some recreation areas if she wanted to refresh her mind.
She had never used her Soul Arts like this before and she even felt that she''s gradually improving as well…
She even discovered a technique simr to Wace''s method of sensing things… Avalon mentioned that is called Divine Sense when she asked.
It wasn''t a secret since the A.I. have discovered that no other magicians were actually capable of doing it.
Apparently, it only works with magicians with soul energy that is twice the normal…
She''s unsure how Wace achieved that but she knows that it should be a natural thing to him since there was no way to increase the soul energy. The practitioners like her can only manipte it through their Soul Arts…
nk!
As they opened the door of theboratory, they found that their helper is already present.
"Sir Charles! You''re early!" Miss Chamber greeted the old man who is currently interviewing the 10 Cryptic Mages who have just arrived.
His expertise with the Spirit Arts is extremely important so Ace had to bring him here and help in the research instead of helping in the War Council…
"Haha! You guys arete… I think I found it! The secret of not having any bacsh! Kekeke!"
The old manughed excitedly as he approached thedies with ardent eyes.
