Surely, the surge of electricity has dissolved the swirling blood flow. If that's the case, then accept the older sister's fatal tackle!
Oriana did not believe that George could withstand her magic with his physical body and thought that he must have broken her magic with some method of utilizing electricity. Without hesitation, she charged forward and embraced George in her arms.
In addition to being a sorcerer, she is also an expert in close combat, and even ordinary knights cannot match her in a physical fight.
Just now, in order to cast that spell, she deliberately pulled closer. Now is the perfect time to exploit her advantage and engage in close combat.
"Good heavens, is this supposed to be an offer to throw herself into my arms?"
George saw the situation and did not dodge. Instead, he simply smiled and blinked his eyes.
Based on Eleanor's speed of escape and performance in combat, George has already determined that her physical fitness does not exceed the limit of ordinary humans. Even if her fighting techniques are extremely skillful, it is impossible for her to hurt him.
With the opponent so eagerly walking into the lion's den, he need only open his mouth and wait.
Suddenly, Eleanor rushed to George's front, grabbed him around the waist, and then performed a standard German suplex.
"Ah-ha!"
George's head and neck made a direct intimate contact with the ground, fully absorbing the impact of the hit.
"Job done!"
Eleanor released her grip, stood up, and turned to look at George lying on the ground with wide-open eyes staring at her.
"Was it fun?"
"Impossible!"
Looking at the ground next to George's head, where cracks had appeared, while George seemed completely unscathed, Eleanor was shocked again.
At this moment, a flash of lightning appeared on George's body, and he had already appeared in front of Eleanor, releasing a billion volts of high-voltage electricity towards him.
"Ah!!!"
Eleanor was immediately electrocuted and scattered around wildly, with her eyes turning white. She was on the verge of losing consciousness.
But not without reason, being an experienced delivery person in battle, she managed to release her strongest magic in the last moment before her consciousness faded, even as she endured the numbing sensation in her body.
"Elemental Convergence!"
All the cards in her hand shattered, various elements concentrated together, turning into a white light ball resembling a black hole, absorbing George and the lightning he released.
Seizing this opportunity, Eleanor immediately turned around and fled.
She knew that her magic couldn't hold the opponent for long. It was urgent to escape now. The plan was still several hours away, and she couldn't be caught at this moment.
"Magic is good, but the person who releases it lacks sufficient strength."
George pulled his hands apart, and the plasma electrocannon shot out, forcibly dispersing the white light ball in one go.
Eleanor's white light ball was quite powerful, though not a black hole. It had a similar appearance, and if the difference in strength wasn't too great, it would be difficult to break.
"Damn, is a Level 5 anomaly really that strong?"
If this continues, I won't be able to summon the star in time."
Eleanor, trying her best to endure the numbness in her body, ran as quickly as possible towards the exit of the underground staircase. Her face was filled with anxious expressions.
She felt that even if she met a sage, it wouldn't be much different.
"Aha!"
Just as she stepped out of the underground staircase, a metal telegraph pole beside her seemed like a python and instantly wrapped around her, followed by another surge of high-voltage electricity.
This time, the voltage was even more ferocious, and she was knocked unconscious after just a second.
"Since you're unwilling to tell me, I'll have to figure it out myself."
George appeared in front of Eleanor, extending his hand and touching her forehead.
Five minutes later, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Ah, I see!"
Next, he told Arestha about the true plan of Eleanor and Liddo.
It turns out that the delivery person, Eleanor, and the Roman Catholic's Liddo were actually good friends. Her purpose was not to deliver the package, nor was it to insert the Apostles' Cross into Academia City. Her goal was to attract the attention of both Academia City and the magical priests of the Clazza.
The true Apostle's Cross was actually in Liddo's possession, and she was hiding in a hotel outside of the city.
As the effect range of the Apostle's Cross reaches 47,000 square kilometers, even if triggered outside of Academia City, it can cover the entire city.
However, there are conditions to using the Apostle's Cross.
The Apostle's Cross is a large-scale spiritual equipment that utilizes the power of astrology. It requires the calculation of which of the eighty-eight zodiac signs is most appropriate for the specific location, and then the activation must occur on the night when that zodiac sign appears.
The activation cannot be interrupted, and it is quite loud. A single location can only be used once a year.
If they dared to activate this spiritual equipment outside of the Academy City, it would inevitably be discovered by the people of the Academy City and the magical priests of the Clazza, leading to their interruption.
Therefore, Eleanor would lure the attention of the people of the Academy City and the magical priests of the Clazza as an inducement, while Liddo would wait until the night sky descended to activate the Apostle's Cross and cover the entire city.
In this way, even if discovered, the people of the Academy City and the magical priests of the Clazza would have no time to stop it.
"Fortunately, you found it. Otherwise, it would have been a real headache."
After George's narration, Yaretha, hanging upside down in the life support device, couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
Once Liddo's plan succeeds, unless he risks exposing himself by leaving the life support device to stop it, he might actually be caught in the crossfire.
At this moment, he also realized the value of George.
Common events can be handled by the organizations under his command, but some more complicated matters, like today's, are beyond their capabilities.
The seven Level 5 individuals in Academia City all have some character issues, and most of them won't follow his commands; they act according to their own personalities.
Even if he wanted to use them, it would still require various calculations to successfully coerce them into completing their own objectives.
But George is different. He's strong, resourceful, and has an identity that can be concealed from discovery.
As long as George is willing to teach him magic, George is willing to help him deal with matters, without him having to personally intervene, which greatly reduces his risk of exposure.
"It's daytime now, and there are still three hours until the activation of the Apostle's Cross. Should I go and bring back that Liddo?"
Liddo is staying in a hotel outside of the Academy City, but which one, Eleanor doesn't know.
Aresta's hovering relay monitoring system can only operate within the Academy City and cannot be used to search outside.
But it's not a problem, as long as George knows Liddo's name, he can use the tracking magic in the Harry Potter world to locate her position.
As for Liddo's strength, according to the intelligence, Liddo belongs to the Roman Catholic missionary group. Although she is a bishop, her magical power may not be as strong as that of Eleanor, whose combat experience is more abundant.
