T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 402, Section 401: Emergency Rescue

After dinner, a light drizzle smeared the windowpanes, and a gust of wind blew in, making all the windows of the manor rattle.

The wind was strong, and the rain suddenly turned fierce, pouring down unexpectedly, startling Mint, who was left alone at the manor to wait.

All members of the Virtual-Real Boundary Guild returned to the guild to store their gains from the past period and also to check on the status of Eleravie and the base.

She moved a deck chair to the porch, and the oppressive summer heat was dispelled by the sudden downpour, the rising warmth vanishing with the wind.

Comfortable.

Mint took a sip of coconut water, then picked up a piece of bean cake and enjoyed it with relish.

Looking back two years ago, such a comfortable life was something she couldn't have imagined.

Even more unimaginable is that someone like Renee could reconcile with her, or even sympathize with her situation.

“If it were me, I couldn’t stand her family.” Mint couldn’t help but imagine the two of them switching places.

The guards sent by Kurien were dedicated; they moved silently through the torrential rain, their black robes soaked and clinging to their bodies.

If it weren't for the rules, Mint would have invited them in to avoid the situation.

Just then, a figure in a black robe drifted into the corridor and spoke in a deep voice before Mint could speak.

"Urgent news! A violent magical fluctuation has occurred at Grelian's mansion on the outskirts of the city. Some people have sensed that space is being torn apart."

Mint choked on a mouthful of bean cake and hurriedly grabbed a coconut water to gulp it down.

Upon receiving the news, the group, who were traveling at breakneck speed through the rain, quickly turned back and communicated loudly in the storm.

"In the end what happened?"

Mint exclaimed in bewilderment, "I don't know either!"

Without a God's-eye view, the boundary between reality and illusion is completely in the dark about this sudden situation.

Around the Grion mansion, many guards had already arrived. Like scarecrows in a field, they stood silently in the darkness, staring in astonishment ahead.

"Oh my god..."

Jiang Heyi swallowed.

A spatial rift hung above the mansion, a line of dark purple ripples spreading out in the rain, followed by countless spiderweb-like cracks spreading wildly along the void.

The entire sky seemed to peel away like a wet mural, revealing the enchanting, deep blue void behind it, as vast as an abyss.

Phosphorescent flames, burning like fire, silently licked the boundaries of reality, setting the painting ablaze and spreading it in all directions.

The magical collisions occurred one after another, and visible ripples of magic spread outwards in layers.

The guards tried to stop them, but the boundary between the virtual and real worlds was cleared simply by scanning their faces—they had already been registered with the head of the most powerful and violent organization in Kuanna.

Not only were there no taboos in front of nobles, but the imperial guards also applied two sets of standards to them and were happy to provide them with more conveniences.

After crossing the boundary between the real and virtual worlds, the scene was silently sealed off.

……

……

"Renée is hiding in a spatial rift. Watch out for her spatial slash. When the flow of magic around you changes, be careful not to get cut by a suddenly appearing rift!"

The high-ranking mage of Grelian shouted a warning.

"Have the magical tools not been brought yet? I need to stabilize the flow of magic in this area!"

"The passage to the underground warehouse is temporarily blocked by a distorted spatial tunnel; we must take a detour!"

The voice relayed by the magic messenger was equally anxious.

"Rene, how can Mom and Dad stay in this house if you do this? Stop it! Stop it now!"

Since the head of the Grelian family is not in the capital tonight, many decisions can only be made by the elders of high seniority present.

Seeing Renee's parents crying and wailing without any regard for the distorted spatial rift, they were greatly troubled.

"Knock them out, don't make things worse!"

After a furious shout, Renee's parents collapsed to the ground.

As if peering out through a layer of mist, the high-ranking mage of Grelian suddenly felt that the scene before him was blurry.

In an instant, the heavens and earth shook violently, and everything in sight rippled.

"She is coming!"

A flash of blue light, as fast as lightning, streaked past. An eighth-tier puppeteer and an eighth-tier elementalist used their pure magic to create a torrent, blocking Renee's parents from view.

In the intense energy battle, Renee's white hair fluttered, and her eyes turned blood red.

She looked up at the puppeteer with a cold gaze, and the space behind her shattered.

Like ink dissolving in water, she leaned back and vanished in the blink of an eye.

"What's the deal with Renee's power?" The high-ranking officials present were shocked.

"How could she possibly possess the magic to maintain the existence of such a massive spatial rift? The duration of that rift is comparable to that of a domain!"

"She's simply a genius! This is exactly what the top combat-oriented mages of the Grelian Academy should be like!"

"What the hell are you so happy about!"

A loud shout extinguished the excitement of the group, and the most senior puppeteer, with his full head of white hair, was so angry that it almost stood on end.

"Based on her latest magic test, she shouldn't have her current magic capacity. Her current abnormal performance must be suspicious. What if it's a trick to achieve this by overdrawing her own power... Do you want to watch Renee burn to ashes? You need to find a way to stop her!"

The members of the Grelian group trembled all over.

The mansion is riddled with spatial fissures, which lead to other spaces. These narrow gaps, barely wide enough to fit a finger, leak a high abundance of magic into the normal space.

Compared to that space, the abundance of magic in the real world is like a depression.

Water flows downhill, and the magic accumulates, with some magicians already feeling a burning sensation on their skin.

The guards had already noticed something was wrong, so they quickly sealed off the area.

They had no idea what the Grelian family was up to, only that the probability of a high-risk magical event or explosion occurring here had increased dramatically.

Let alone a 7th-tier mage, even an 8th-tier mage would be burned to ashes from the inside out in the face of such an accident!

After a day of chatting about the boundary between reality and illusion, Kurien, filled with fond memories of the past, found himself unusually sleepy early.

Upon hearing the news, he couldn't help but curse and went to the scene in person.

The guards dared not let Kurien get too close. The extent of the explosion was not scientifically determined—no scholar could study it, and historical records only showed observations from a distance, with only a few involved parties able to write memoirs.

"Did the people at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds go in?" Kurien asked.

"Wasn't it His Majesty who ordered the notification?" The guard swallowed hard and asked cautiously.

Kurien fell silent, watching with concern the edge of the spatial rift that was slowly burning.

"Angry Lion... and... you, please bless them."

As the boundary between reality and illusion crossed the flowerbed in the front yard of the Grelian mansion, a crack, no thicker than a finger, suddenly appeared, spewing out chilling magic.

Like a knife, it cut a wound about 3 centimeters long on my hand under the covers, and blood splattered everywhere.

"That's so dangerous!" The woman in bed exclaimed in shock.

French Fries was speechless: "This is Renee's doing. Where does she get such a powerful supply of magic?"

Closer, closer.

As you pass through the courtyard, the sound of colliding magic is right next to you.

The attic of the Grelian mansion was vertically sliced ​​off by a spatial rift that bloomed from top to bottom. The half of the building, which had lost its load-bearing capacity, collapsed with a bang as Renee's spatial slash tore through several spells.

Heavy building debris lay scattered in front of them, and flying dust and gravel swept in all directions, engulfing everyone who had just entered the battlefield area.

When she opened her eyes again, Renee had a severed head in her hand.

The dragon girl doll she had been fighting was dragged into an unstable magical space by her. The high abundance of magic corroded her magical patterns, rendering her unable to resist. Blood and tears streamed from Renee's eyes as she made hoarse "hoarse" sounds, as if she couldn't breathe.

She was fine when we met during the day, but when we met again, she seemed like a demon who had stepped out of a painting.

Holding the dragon woman doll's head in one hand and dragging her robust body with the other, the high-ranking mage relentlessly pursued Grelian.

The Gryan family had never hesitated so much.

They were going all out and had no doubt they could subdue Renee, but in the chaos of battle, who could guarantee that Renee wouldn't have an accident?

The confrontation between Mint and Renee requires several ninth-tier guards to protect both sides.

Although the Grelian Empire has stood for a thousand years, there has been no genius in all dimensions who has achieved average development in the last hundred years.

Renee's talent is so great that it will allow the Grelian to reach new heights for the next thousand years.

"Who are you people, and why are you trespassing in... Mint?"

Someone discovered the existence of the boundary between reality and illusion and exclaimed in surprise.

The noise startled Renee, who unhesitatingly threw the doll's corpse into the crowd and flashed behind the family members who were leading her parents in their retreat.

"Holy Scripture, Summon Heroic Spirits!"

The high-level summoner, wielding relics from his family's ancestors, summons a healer skilled in healing and protection.

In the dazzling golden light, Renee's magic, which was about to touch her parents, was twisted and blocked by the barrier quickly formed by the heroic spirits.

Renee, who was thrown back by the impact, rolled rapidly up from the ground and landed on all fours.

Her fingers unleashed astonishing power, digging into the mansion's walls and moving sideways with the ease of a spider.

At this point, anyone with a sound mind would realize that Renee's condition was extremely abnormal.

"Is...is this still Renee?"

These high-level figures, focused on their own fields, had only heard bits and pieces from the younger generation. They initially thought Renee's problem was hysteria caused by excessive psychological pressure, but now it seems the problem is probably more serious.

"The beast-like behavior... has nothing to do with the psychological state you're talking about!"

In the torrential rain, Renee lay prone on the wall perpendicular to the ground, exhaling white breath and making threatening "ha, ha" sounds, behaving no differently than a wild animal.

The collapse of the spatial plane and the growth of the cracks have almost stopped, but Renee's condition is becoming increasingly strange.

Fine beads of blood began to seep from her arm.

The torrential rain couldn't wash away the pus-like bloodstains; they were like concentrated sulfuric acid, congealing into droplets that scorched the ground the moment they hit the ground, sizzling and smoking.

"Magic is boiling... How can the purity of magic within Renee be so high?"

Mint was the first to shout, rushing forward to question the high-ranking mages of the Grelian family, whom ordinary people rarely saw.

"What exactly did you do to her?!"

The blood continued to drip, and this time it actually condensed into crystal clusters.

Renee shook her head in pain, her bright gold eyes, like those of a dragon, fixed intently on the source of the sound.

The moment she recognized the mint, her head started to ache even more.

"So sad……"

Renee suddenly burst into tears, and bloody tears slid down her cheeks, congealing into clusters of crystals.

The blood seeping from her body was crystallizing her.

The Gregorian family has many scholars, but their knowledge base lacks corresponding experience.

The magic overflowing from the spatial rift was like a raging torrent, instantly filling the depression in the mansion.

The high-ranking members of the Grelian family finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"go!"

What should we do about Renee?!

"Do you want to die? This is a sign of an impending explosion!"

"Even a hundred of us are just kindling for a fire!"

Everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs, but the howling wind easily tore their voices apart, leaving only broken, trembling sounds.

More than ten high-ranking members gritted their teeth, stopped looking at Renee in the eye of the storm, and fled as if they were escaping.

At the boundary between reality and illusion, everyone felt an intense burning sensation on their skin as highly abundant magic invaded their bodies, resonating with them.

The more acutely one senses magic, the more pain one experiences.

This was the first time Mint had ever seen Renee cry. In her memory, Renee had always been as proud as a princess, and when she challenged her to a duel, she always spoke in a condescending tone.

As the caster, Renee controlled the massive spatial rift, and the magic within her was out of control, causing the spells to begin to collapse.

The massive rift collapsed inward, and the hole that had been overflowing with surging magic power instantly turned into a bottomless black hole, greedily absorbing everything around it.

Above the Grion mansion, the pitch-black "sun" descended.

The torrential rain plunged straight into the silent, lightless abyss, revealing the flow of magic within it.

A gaping maw, ready to devour everything!

The crystallization pierced Renee's delicate skin, causing her excruciating pain and spasms throughout her body.

Regaining some of her senses, she shouted at the mint rushing towards her, "There are so many voices... in my head."

She realized that the backlash from the spatial magic was imminent, but she was powerless to control her body, which was being pierced by the crystal.

"Mint, run!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the ground was ripped up by a terrifying suction force. The ground was as soft as tofu, and Renee was carried along with the ground, flying into the air.

"You're telling me to run, of course I'm not running!"

Rebellious Mint pulled out a potion and gulped it down. The wind element seemed to spread wings for her, and amidst the scattering rubble, she nimbly darted and weaved to Renee's side, grabbed her hands, and pulled her down forcefully.

"The way you're pulling Renee along is like a bat hanging upside down from a tree."

"Guard, you bastard, how dare you make sarcastic remarks at a time like this!" Mint was furious.

Not only Mint was taking action, but everyone at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds followed suit, braving the backlash of the spatial collapse to arrive in front of the "black hole".

If Renee, whose consciousness is clouded, is sucked in, she will definitely be reduced to ashes.

Mint that can't find an exit is also doomed.

The closer they got to the black hole, the more chaotic the magic became, and no one present could cast spells smoothly.

As a player, Jiang Heyi's skill bar kept flashing, and he couldn't trigger any of them.

How can one stop a rushing river with one's own strength alone?

river?

"Squid, where's your invincible magic-suppressing little round shield?"

"And it suppresses magic?"

"Take it out!" Jiang Heyi commanded loudly.

Zhong Zemo, unsuspecting, took out his magic-suppressing round shield, stepped onto the ground that had flown up with them, and waved it towards the black hole above.

The small round shield couldn't possibly interfere with the rushing river, but it could slightly slow down the chaotic magic...

"It's lit up! The skill bar is stable!"

In an instant, everyone at the boundary between the virtual and the real used their own abilities to drag themselves back to the ground.

Space collapsed, and the rift closed. After a deafening roar, a gust of wind dispersed the rain.

The torrential rain began to fall again.
