Chapter 455: Escaping the Element Tower

Chapter 455: Escaping the Elemental Tower

Lilith gazed at Levi and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"

Levi looked up at her and replied, "Leave the Elemental Tower."

"Has the teleportation array leading out of the Elemental Tower been sealed off?" Levi inquired.

Lilith responded, "The moment the followers of the Church of Light arrived, the Elemental Tower already prohibited your use of the teleportation array."

"If you hadn't been inside the cultivation realm, you would have been summoned by the tower's senior members long ago."

Levi asked, "Can you help me with something?"

Lilith asked doubtfully, "What is it?"

"Help me activate the teleportation array," Levi said.

Lilith shook her head and replied, "I don't know how to operate the teleportation array. Moreover, all arrays are currently under surveillance by the Elemental Tower. Even if I could activate it, you wouldn't be able to get close."

Levi said, "No, what I mean is that you should use the teleportation array, and I'll follow right behind you through the teleportation."

"You want to sneak out?" Lilith understood Levi's intention.

After thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "Alright, but where do you want to go?"

"Maple Leaf City. Just say you want to return for a visit," Levi replied.

"That's no problem," Lilith said.

After finalizing their plan, Levi and Lilith headed toward the teleportation array of the Elemental Tower.

He remained invisible, following closely behind Lilith.

Levi tightened his invisibility cloak around himself, never expecting this piece of equipment to play such a crucial role in the end.

From a distance, Levi watched as Lilith went to purchase a teleportation ticket back to Maple Leaf City.

He dared not approach too closely, fearing discovery.

Soon, Lilith returned.

She glanced briefly at the spot where Levi stood and walked toward the teleportation array.

Levi carefully followed in her footsteps.

Meanwhile, the senior members of the Elemental Tower were discussing how to deal with Levi.

Haroth sat in the shadows, yawning, feeling utterly bored.

In his opinion, the Elemental Tower had no need to pay attention to the Church of Light at all.

Since Levi was the one who took the Tears of the Goddess from the Church of Light, let them find him themselves.

But some people feared that the Church of Light might use this incident against the Elemental Tower.

Thus, they proactively suggested handing over Levi to appease the Church's anger.

However, Levi's identity was far too significant.

If not for his outstanding performance during the exchange tournament, Levi would merely be a Purple-Level class student within the Elemental Tower and an important member of the Hall of Truth.

Only those aligned with the Hall of Truth would stand up for him.

But now, Levi had gained fame across five top-tier mage towers.

Everyone in the other mage towers knew who Levi was.

If the Elemental Tower rashly handed Levi over to the Church of Light, how would the other four top-tier mage towers view them?

Both morally and logically, the Elemental Tower couldn't give in so quickly.

Put simply, the Elemental Tower's leadership wanted to save face while also avoiding offending the Church of Light.

Bang!

The door opened, and Lancelot, the representative of the Church of Light, strode in.

He swept his gaze across the assembled group and demanded, "How much longer are you going to deliberate?"

"Where is Levi? Have him come out and see me immediately!" Lancelot declared.

After the theft of the Tears of the Goddess,

the more Lancelot thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.

Eventually, he began to suspect Levi.

Through careful investigation and clues, he finally confirmed that the person Olgaert pursued using the divine revelation spell was indeed Levi.

Because at that time, Levi had just left the city.

Although it seemed coincidental, Lancelot felt confident that this was the truth.

Levi had collaborated with the legendary lich to steal the Tears of the Goddess.

Upon hearing Lancelot's accusation, someone among the Elemental Tower's leadership spoke politely, "Bishop Lancelot, please don't be impatient. We will return the Tears of the Goddess to you very soon."

Lancelot frowned and said, "I want you to hand over Levi, not the Tears of the Goddess."

"The Tears of the Goddess have already been destroyed."

At these words, everyone present showed expressions of shock.

Even Haroth, who had been composed throughout, appeared surprised.

Everyone clearly understood what the Tears of the Goddess were.

It was a divine artifact that even forbidden spells couldn't destroy.

What kind of power could have shattered the Tears of the Goddess?

The senior members of the Elemental Tower also realized that their decision to hand over the Tears while keeping Levi was no longer negotiable.

The Tears were gone.

Judging from Lancelot's demeanor, he wasn't here for the Tears at all.

He was here solely for Levi.

Following Archbishop Minos's instructions, Lancelot had come to the Elemental Tower to bring Levi back to the Holy Sanctuary of Light.

Ding ding ding!

An alarm sounded.

An elder quickly checked the alert system and shouted loudly, "Bad news! Levi has escaped the Elemental Tower through the teleportation array!"

Lilith stood within the teleportation circle. The elder operating the array activated it, sending her to Maple Leaf City.

As the teleportation activated, a faint glow gradually enveloped Lilith's figure.

Just as the teleportation light was about to fully form, Levi suddenly rushed into the radiant beam.

Whoosh!

The light vanished, and both Levi and Lilith disappeared without a trace.

Only the bewildered elder remained behind.

He even doubted whether he had seen correctly.

How did one more person appear just now?

It wasn't until the magical alarm sounded by his ear

that he realized what had happened.

This was a special alert prepared by the Elemental Tower specifically for Levi.

As long as he used the teleportation array, the alarm would be activated.

Levi understood this perfectly well—if the people of the Elemental Tower discovered him, the teleportation would inevitably fail.

Therefore, he had to complete the teleportation at the very last moment.

This way, even if the Elemental Tower's people discovered him, they wouldn't be able to stop him from leaving.

Lancelot heard that Levi had already teleported away.

His eyes sharpened, and he hurriedly said, "Quickly check where he went?"

"There's no record of his teleportation."

"What's going on?"

Harroth was somewhat worried about Lilith. He took out his magic badge to contact her.

Finding that he couldn't reach her, he realized Lilith was no longer in the Elemental Tower.

He stood stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I see, so that's how it is. That little rascal really pulled it off."

He figured out how Levi had escaped.

Silently putting away his magic badge, he sat in the corner to quietly watch the show.

The Grand Elder shouted, "Bring up all the teleportation destinations from just now."

Lancelot keenly noticed one location—Maple Leaf City.

This was Levi's hometown.

Lancelot was eighty percent certain that Levi had gone to Maple Leaf City.

The remaining twenty percent was that Levi had done this deliberately.

Returning to Maple Leaf City,

Levi released Lilith and said, "Thank you."

During the teleportation process, Levi had been holding Lilith the entire time.

Since Lilith's solo teleportation to Maple Leaf City had opened a relatively small teleportation channel, the two of them could only barely squeeze through while embracing each other.

Lilith softly responded, "Mm."

Her earlobes were slightly red.

Levi quickly said, "Go back to the Elemental Tower after some time and tell them you were ambushed by me."

Lilith nodded and said, "Mm-hmm, I know."

"Well then, farewell."

Levi walked outside, while Lilith watched his figure disappear into the distance.
