Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Clotilde and Kelintel left together.

This mission naturally doesn't require the two level-two wizards to personally take action.

As for Clotilde's visit, it was merely to guide the elves of the Chelca family, fulfilling his duty as a host.

After they left, the remaining two groups did not linger. After exchanging a few words, they cast spells together and flew towards the Takonde Tundra.

"Whoosh—whoosh!!"

In the air, Hughes maintained his levitation spell while rapidly scanning the elves of the Chelka family beside him.

These elves did not possess any flight magic; their light armor was itself a specially made flight tool.

Unlike the flying magical artifacts on the market, which have extremely unstable speeds, this elven light armor was clearly tailor-made for each of them.

In addition, their special training has made them as light and agile as swallows when flying, and they still maintain a neat formation even when flying at high speed.

Hughes glanced around quickly. Perhaps because the wizard leading the group was the forest elf Kelintel, most of the elves traveling with them were also forest elves.

Furthermore, due to the environment of this mission, the second most common enemy is the fire elf, which is "counteracted" by ice, while the frost elf is the least numerous.

After observing for a while, Hughes withdrew his gaze and sped up, flying towards the tundra.

The Takonde Tundra was not far from the Vrijökull, so the group quickly arrived above the tundra.

"Whoosh!! Whoosh!!"

At this moment, the tundra is experiencing a violent blizzard, and the entire land is covered with a thin layer of white snow under the ravages of ice and snow.

Looking around, one can only occasionally see a few protruding rocks and scattered plants.

This blizzard is precisely why the Tillys winterbirds have stopped here. At this moment, they are gathering in large flocks at the center of the storm, constantly shuttling and circling amidst the swirling snow.

Unbeknownst to them, a devastating crisis was quietly approaching them, carried by the wind and snow.

"..."

Not far away, Hughes and the others quietly watched the flock of Tilitz winterbirds circling in the wind and snow.

They are nearly four meters long and covered with thick white feathers, but the rear half of their bodies is strangely covered with a constantly churning cloud of icy blue mist.

The flock of birds circled in perfect unison, forming a sphere. In the center of the flock, the largest winter bird hovered in mid-air, the leader of the group.

It folded its enormous wings and wrapped them tightly around its body.

Unbeknownst to anyone, beneath these layers of covering wings, a faint, indistinct humming sound could be heard:

"Wizard...ga!"

……

"Their leader is recharging, which is when he is at his weakest."

Not far away, a wizard from the Tower of Koya spoke up, the meaning of which was self-evident.

The leader of the Tiritz Winterbirds is not only a skilled commander, but also extremely cunning.

Therefore, if the leader is dealt with at the beginning, the threat posed by the flock to them will be reduced by several times.

"But that's also when its control is strongest and most concentrated."

However, a forest elf from the Chelka family refuted his idea.

"Perhaps we should set up an encirclement first, and then go in to capture it."

"..."

Soon after some discussion, the two sides finally agreed on a plan.

They planned to first set up a barrier around the blizzard to prevent the Tillys winterbirds from escaping.

Then enter the flock of birds and capture their leader first.

Once the plan was finalized, everyone present took out their prepared capture devices.

Although the academy provided them with capture devices, their capture methods were quite traditional, simply releasing an electric chain for restraint.

Such a simple method is obviously insufficient to capture the Tylitz Winterbird, which can fly nimbly in the air.

Therefore, they all had methods prepared to target the Tilitz Winterbird, and this naturally included Hughes.

He had prepared a simple short staff, with a crystal ball embedded at the top, and a very thin silver spike on the top of the ball.

The crystal ball was filled with a potion specially made by Schuster, which he had hastily researched and concocted yesterday. It was a special potion that could put powerful creatures like the Tillyz Winterbirds to sleep.

As for the spike, it was naturally the tool used to inject the magic potion.

Hughes tested it; it was strong enough to pierce the feathers of the Tiritz winterbirds and their thick skin.

He scanned the crowd around him and found that no one had used the traditional capture devices issued by the academy.

Some of them pulled out specially made short canes, while others had several specially made spider web bullets hanging from their waists.

Even more extreme, some took out a specially made bone whistle—with just a gentle blow, the sound waves it released could easily stun the restless winter birds.

Seeing that everyone was ready, a forest elf who appeared to be the captain of the Chelka family gave the order:

"Mora, Trillins...you two go together and build a fire barrier outside the flock of birds. Make sure they don't escape."

As soon as the words were spoken, the two fire elves flew away from the crowd and, braving the raging blizzard, slowly approached the outer edge of the flock of birds.

Soon, the two of them unleashed a blazing barrier of flames in front of them. These two solid flames spread rapidly through the air, attempting to completely trap the entire flock of birds within them.

However, just as the two barriers were about to close together...

"Gah—!!"

Suddenly! A cry erupted from the center of the flock!

There, the leader of the Tillys Winterbirds had spread his wings, seemingly out of nowhere.

next moment!

"Buzz!!"

Its wings trembled violently, and the surrounding blizzard was instantly drawn in, gathering into two fierce tornadoes of cold air that hurtled straight toward the two fire elves.

"Whoosh—Boom!!"

Upon seeing this, the two fire elves' expressions changed drastically. In desperation, they had no choice but to hastily dismantle the spreading fire barrier and turn their attention to dealing with the surging tornado of cold air.

"Bang—!"

But then, they were violently struck by this exceptionally powerful tornado and sent flying back a full ten meters before they managed to regain their footing.

Meanwhile, seeing the flame barrier suddenly and rapidly dissipate, everyone knew exactly what had happened.

But at this moment, all they could do was rush into the blizzard and forcibly capture the enraged Tilitz winterbirds.

The battle broke out instantly.

In an instant, the wizards rushed into the blizzard and engaged in battle with the Latis Winterbirds.

"quack--!"

"Boom!!"

The scene immediately descended into chaos, filled with the piercing cries of the Tillys winterbirds and the deafening roars of various magical spells.
