Greetings, Mister Principal: The end has arrived

Somewhere in Olmsted City, in an abandoned factory.

A magic circle glowing with purple-red light is restless, with ripples spreading out from it, trying to involve everything around it.

But just as the magic circle was activated, a foot stepped on its center.

Buzz

The light suddenly stopped, and the main part of the magic circle immediately collapsed, disintegrated, and turned into particles. After a while, there was no trace of any magic here.

"This is the third one. It should be enough to stop the alchemy circle, right?"

Mr. Eaglesfield, who destroyed the magic circle, muttered to himself and looked around.

If you want to make a large-scale Philosopher's Stone, you must arrange several nodes throughout the city according to strict conditions to guide the flow of magic power, and its leader must be inside the magic circle to make timely adjustments. Make the whole process run smoothly.

Two points can be deduced from this. One is that as long as some of these nodes can be destroyed, the refinement of the Philosopher's Stone can be prevented. The other is that Macon must still stay in Olmsted.

Knowing these two points, the rest of the work is easy.

Reiner is responsible for finding traces of Macon, while Mr. Field is responsible for destroying these hidden magic circles.

No matter how deep it is hidden, as long as Macon has arranged it, there must be traces of magic. Although it may be difficult for an intermediate mage like Reiner to discover it, for a high-level mage like Mr. Field, it is still mercury. For everyone in the alchemy department of Tianping, it does not take much effort to find such a magic circle.

After receiving Reiner's signal, Mr. Field began to look for the alchemy circle hidden in the city, because at this time, the circle should have been in a pre-activated state and easier to expose. Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, In that time, Lord Field has destroyed three magic circles.

Basically, unless the caster is extremely talented, if three nodes are destroyed, the production of the Philosopher's Stone will basically fail this time.

Of course, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Mr. Field will continue to search for nodes.

"I wonder if Reiner can handle it properly."

He glanced into the distance, then took off directly and left this abandoned factory.

The magic circle under Macon's feet gradually dimmed, and the pulses he originally felt from all corners of the city gradually subsided. There was no doubt that the alchemy magic circle was losing its effect.

If there is no interference, he can make corrections immediately. You know, Macon is not the kind of reckless guy. In order to ensure success, he arranged many additional node arrays, so that even if there are a few Even if a node is accidentally destroyed, it can still maintain the operation of the entire alchemy circle.

But since just now, Macon has been in a state of high tension and has no time to carefully examine whether there is anything abnormal in his alchemy circle. Until now, when he wants to make up for it, he has been unable to make up for it.

Macon always thought that he had the initiative, so he took his time to deal with Reiner, but he didn't expect that this played into the opponent's hands. It was Macon himself who was delayed!

"You actually"

Macon's heart skipped a beat. To be able to destroy so many magic circles in a short period of time, the person in charge must have extraordinary strength, most likely a high-level mage. If the other party rushed to the scene at this time, he would definitely be unable to fly.

"I'm curious, why did you make the Philosopher's Stone?"

Reiner asked. It could be seen that Macon was in a great state of shock. Reiner wanted to find out the motives behind Macon and eliminate interference from others.

"You won't understand."

Macon took two steps back and two test tubes appeared in his hands.

Sprinkling it, a swarm of ants and insects burning with green flames quickly emerged, and a large group of insects surrounded Reiner.

Mrs. Freya screamed, and a flame barrier appeared in front of one person and one cat. As long as the green bugs came into contact with the flames, they would immediately burn. There was no way to cross this barrier.

Seeing this, Macon had several more test tubes in his hand.

He seemed to be a little crazy, pouring out the cards in his hand.

"You will never understand that everything I have done is to resurrect Celia."

Macon roared lowly, surrounding him, smoke of various colors condensed, and the smoke quickly solidified on Macon's limbs, forming hard armor.

Soon, Macon became a three-meter-tall little giant. His entire face was completely covered by sharp-edged armor. It could be felt that this armor was not just a simple physical defense, but a powerful magic barrier. All-around protection.

"Resurrecting the dead is the biggest taboo in alchemy."

Mrs. Freya was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Macon's reason for making the Philosopher's Stone was to resurrect the dead.

In the long history, countless people have tried to resurrect the dead. Even in its heyday, there were mages who performed resurrection rituals by killing living people.

Such ridiculous behavior was banned as early as the late period of the ancient Magic Empire. Unexpectedly, Macon still wanted to try it.

He may think that the Philosopher's Stone contains huge magic power, so it can cross barriers that no one could cross in the past.

But what Reiner didn't expect was that Macon didn't take advantage of Aunt Celia's relationship.

"After Celia's death, my only home no longer exists. I have nothing to lose. You have no idea ~IndoMTL.com~ what I have experienced over the years."

Macon whispered, no one knew his true thoughts.

They would not know that many years ago, Macon was seriously injured, and it was Celia who saved him from the brink of death and took good care of him.

They would also not know that Macon's experiments over the years were all aimed at finding a way to make Celia, who was suffering from chronic diseases, live longer.

Of course they will not know that Macon made the Philosopher's Stone solely to resurrect Celia, the woman he loved deeply.

After hearing Macon's words, Reiner was silent for a moment, and then spoke.

"Of course I don't know what you think."

In Reiner's hands, the flames of the eternal blazing sun burned blazingly.

"I only know one thing. Everything you think you do for others is actually just self-satisfaction. The redemption you want to give is your biggest sin."

The flames roared, and Macon's iron fist also waved.

"It's called arrogance!"

At the moment when the fireball and the fist were about to come into contact, a change occurred.

Countless light beams penetrated Macon's body. He opened his eyes wide and looked in one direction in disbelief.

Reiner was also a little confused. He looked to the side. There, with his back to the afterglow of the setting sun, stood two people.

One of them was a blond ponytail girl wearing a simple dress. Her expression was indifferent, like an exquisite doll. In the space behind her, like countless water waves, a huge muzzle emerged, covering most of the sky.

The other is a beautiful woman, with long gray hair flowing in the wind. She is wearing a burgundy tube top dress, revealing her fair skin. The woman is wearing a pair of similarly burgundy gloves, stepping on He was wearing high heels and had a faint smile on his face.

"It seems I missed the party, Reiner, my lovely brother."

Woman, Phyllis Ingle said softly.
