While Lynch was desperately contemplating how to defeat the Magic God and leave that cage, all sorts of changes were also taking place on the Anriel Continent. Setting aside the skirmishes between the Elf Kingdom and the Constructed Creatures, and not worrying for now about the situation with Wislin's raiding party, let us focus our attention on the All-Knowing Tower, on this group of people anxiously awaiting news from the mages.

Lynch's surprise raid went unexpectedly smoothly, with many mixed groups of mages and knights completing their tasks safely and quickly. The dwarf bombs were transported one after another to the Snake-man camp, carrying the hatred of those whose homes were destroyed and families lost, continuously causing devastating damage to the snake's army.

Many assault teams even wanted to carry out additional missions, savoring the sweetness of the surprise attacks, paying no heed to their own bloody wounds, clamoring to find more dwarf bombs in the warehouse.

Zilvra merely frowned but did not argue with them. Lynch had told her before he left that there was no need to carry out more strikes, and the All-Knowing Tower must reserve some bombs. No matter how eloquent these fanatical warriors could be, Zilvra would never believe they were more intelligent and foresighted than Lynch. She directly summoned the Black Dragon from her ring, using its massive body to block the warehouse door.

The greedy and hungry gaze of the Black Dragon immediately sobered up those hot-headed fellows, and the surrounding dragon's aura made their legs completely unresponsive, trembling uncontrollably.

After handling this matter, Zilvra returned to the side of the Transmission Black Stone, responsible for retrieving the remaining teams one by one. It must be said that the female Drow executed Lynch's plan strictly, with each activation and deactivation of the Teleportation Stone timed perfectly. She would not delay for any team, and the knight's maxim of "never leaving anyone behind" was irrelevant to her. Once the scheduled time arrived, she would immediately close the teleportation passage and open the next one; those team members who couldn't make it back in time could only ascend amidst the fire and explosions with the dwarf bombs they took.

Many of those who returned held opinions about such actions, with some even questioning this behavior face-to-face later. However, Zilvra remained indifferent. When Lynch joined the last team, Zilvra had already decided that no matter the cost, she would ensure that final group's safety.

The snake-men quickly reacted as well, and several Black Stone portals soon became unusable. When the locations three teams visited could no longer establish teleportation paths, Zilvra directly skipped the subsequent steps and began calling Lynch. As she feared, the last Snake-man Camp where the mage was located also couldn't connect, and the black stone stood silently like a tombstone, unresponsive.

"No one is allowed near this Teleportation Stone! And using this tool is strictly prohibited!" Zilvra drew her weapon and pulled Soka to her side. "Lynch still has a badge with him and might return at any moment. I need to keep this channel open. Violators will pay with their lives!"

Fortunately, Zilvra reacted swiftly, allowing Lynch to connect to the teleportation gate to the Bishop's basement, so they could escape the camp about to be engulfed in flames. In reality, Zilvra didn't wait long on the snake-men's turf, as Lynch's team reappeared before everyone amidst cheers.

The mud-covered mages and knights supported each other as they limped out. But there was no joy of survival on anyone's face. Several warriors familiar with Zilvra didn't dare make eye contact with her and all lowered their heads in silence. They all knew that even if the surprise raid were successful, the loss of Lynch being left behind overshadowed everything.

The surface ripples of the Black Teleportation Stone completely stopped, and Lynch still hadn't emerged from there. A mage apprentice from the association approached Zilvra nervously, handing her the Snake Emblem.

"La-lady… this belongs to the Great Mage. We were forced to teleport to Bishop Pate's room, but..." The young apprentice saw the fierce light in Zilvra's eyes and nearly couldn't speak out of nervousness: "But the Great Mage didn't come out with us, only this Snake Emblem was dropped on the ground. We have no idea where Mr. Lynch has gone…"
