Chapter 33
Slaughter
On the scales, Green put on a pale mask. As his body was squeezed as if being stretched into noodles, his vision blurred, and he found himself in an unfamiliar place.
vomit……
The instinctive urge to vomit was strong; this kind of teleportation was indeed a burden for wizard apprentices who didn't have bloodline magic to enhance their physique.
However, even though he was dizzy, Green did not let his guard down. In his blurry vision, he saw two wizard apprentices facing off a dozen meters ahead.
"These two marks..."
The two people had marks on their foreheads, one from the Maze Academy and the other from Ivory Castle; neither of them were wizarding apprentices from the Blacksorta Wizarding Academy.
However, even those from the Blacksorta Wizarding Academy are now enemies.
If they are members of the Bloodsail Alliance, there is a possibility of forming an alliance.
Green was wearing a pale mask, completely concealing the mark on his forehead, so the two people facing off could not see it.
However, at this moment, the mark on Green's forehead was no longer important; what mattered was that he was in a state of absolute weakness!
Without any hesitation, the two wizard apprentices who were originally facing off attacked Green.
One of them silently chanted a witchcraft incantation, instantly shooting a thin, transparent wind blade at Green, while the other wizard raised his hand, sending an ice spike piercing through the air.
With two soft "poof" sounds, a transparent protective shield in front of Green easily blocked the wind blades and ice spikes without even causing a ripple.
"It didn't even reach a 20-degree energy attack, how weak..."
Suppressing his nausea, Green muttered something. The two attacks were completely negated by the masked shield, and Green didn't even expend any magic power.
However, this is normal.
This year's wizard apprentices are just newcomers who have been enrolled for three years. After only three years of meditation, most wizard apprentices only have a mental strength of 10 to 17.
Occasionally, there are wizard apprentices who are born with high mental strength and good meditation aptitude, but their mental strength rarely reaches 20.
As for those who have reached 24 points of mental strength like Green, they can be counted on two hands in the entire training ground.
With a mental strength of 10-17, the magic power that can be unleashed, even with the enhancement of the elemental magic array, can only generate an energy intensity of 13-22 degrees. Clearly, these two people do not have high mental strength.
At this moment, the two wizard apprentices stared wide-eyed at Green with horrified expressions.
It looked like I'd seen a monster.
The wizard apprentice who used the wind blade got goosebumps and ran away almost without thinking, even casting a speed-enhancing spell on himself as he fled.
The other wizard apprentice was clearly slower to react. Amidst Green's cruel grin, a flying firebird nimbly flew towards the wizard apprentice.
"No!"
The wizard apprentice only had time for a desperate scream before he was engulfed in flames by the firebird.
Because the firebird's energy attack was too intense, reaching a maximum of 60 degrees, the wizard apprentice turned to ashes without much struggle.
At the same time, the chain mark on Green's forehead seemed to have become clearer.
vomit……
No one disturbed him, and this time Green finally returned to normal after vomiting up all the acid in his stomach.
"Phew... It seems I'll have to study some witchcraft to enhance physical strength in the future."
Green was panting.
"Bloodline magic, while fast-acting, has some side effects. It hinders the concentration of a wizard's wisdom and can cause certain changes in physical form. As for mechanical magic and potion magic... well, some earth and wood elemental magic can also enhance physical constitution. By the way, perhaps the research on that forbidden zone of life codes is also a breakthrough."
After talking to himself for a while, Green did not rush to explore the surroundings. Instead, he took out the crystal ball and tried to call out to Fila and the others.
The trial grounds are about 300 kilometers in diameter. With the mental strength of a wizard apprentice, normal communication is possible within 10 kilometers. If the distance is greater, communication is only possible with some background noise. Beyond that distance, one can only vaguely sense the location, until one can sense nothing at all.
The consecutive failures clearly indicate that none of the team members are near Green.
Shaking his head, Green didn't have much hope. After putting away the crystal ball, he looked at the map. There weren't any obvious landmarks around, so he randomly walked in one direction.
hum...
Green had never been to the Thorn Forest before and was completely unaware of some of the common knowledge about the forest. At this moment, Green walked into the territory of a killer bee, and saw hundreds of fist-sized killer bees swarming towards him.
"Um?"
Green realized his mistake. The Thorn Forest was not only home to wizard apprentices as enemies; the dangerous creatures in the forest were also deadly hunters for wizard apprentices!
However, the protective shield in front of Grimm rippled with dense, raindrop-like waves. Although it looked exaggerated, Grimm's magic power was only being consumed little by little.
The attack intensity of these killer bees was less than 20 degrees; it was just that their sheer number prevented Pale Mask from replenishing his elemental energy from nature.
Wizards are creatures who fight using their wisdom. Wizards who resort to violence to solve problems are either foolish or have reached a level of overwhelming power.
Green pulled a small bottle from his sleeve, covered his nose, and then gently twisted the cap off the bottle. Instantly, a strange smell filled the air.
The smell is neither pleasant nor unpleasant; if I had to use a metaphor, it would be like the strange smell of stinky tofu mixed with toon leaves, milk, and lemon juice.
As the strange odor emanated from around Green, the killer bees that had been ferociously attacking him suddenly seemed to sense something disgusting and left him in disgust.
Green covered his nose and seemed to glance unintentionally at a clump of grass in the distance.
Almost simultaneously, the figure hiding in the bushes fled like the wind.
What a joke! This person personally witnessed Green being attacked by hundreds of killer bees and emerging unscathed. Fighting such a monster is simply hopeless!
"Hmph, after spying for so long, you're just going to leave like that?"
For Green, before the second secret realm was opened, the appearance of ordinary wizard apprentices in front of him was nothing more than handing over five hundred magic stones.
Having endured the terrifying trials of the sea, Green had long since abandoned any semblance of compassion. Just as Raffi once said, cruelty, coldness, and evil were the essence of a wizard.
Green pointed with one hand at the fleeing figure, and immediately a vine wrapped around the figure's feet.
This was the magic that Green used to perform, employing the Heart of Vine Earring that Raffi had just given him.
"Hmph! You think you can trap me with such low-level witchcraft?"
The fleeing figure let out a cold snort, and its body began to deform. Its legs instantly turned into a pair of bull hooves, and the vines that had been wrapping around it were easily broken free.
"The artifact's level is too low? Bloodline witchcraft, humph!"
Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent untied the vines, Green gave chase, a fireball burning fiercely on his fingertip, and pointed it at the figure that had already entered his range: "Die."
Suddenly, a firebird nimbly flew towards the other side.
"Impossible! Such a strong fluctuation!"
This figure was surprisingly much stronger than the two wizard apprentices Green had encountered before.
Without hesitation, the man used some kind of witchcraft, and with a "poof," his body turned into a pool of blood and shot away into the distance like an arrow.
boom!
After the fire subsided, Green walked over with a somewhat gloomy expression.
However, Green seemed to have suddenly discovered something. He picked up some blood from the ground with his finger and sneered, "You actually left behind physical information. Although you only know some simple curse magic, let's see if you've cultivated any companion worms."
Muttering these words, Green silently recited a mysterious incantation, and red smoke began to rise from the blood on his fingertips. A face wailing and screaming appeared briefly in the air.
At the same time, Green took out some mysterious witchcraft materials and placed them on the ground, vaguely assembling them into a simple altar, with a miniature scarecrow placed in the center of the altar.
…………
The weakened figure in the distance cautiously glanced behind him. Seeing that no one was chasing after him, he breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "What bad luck. I've only just arrived at the training grounds and I've already encountered such a monster. I wonder which academy he's from, and whether those guys who are favored by their own academy are a match for him."
As he was muttering to himself, suddenly, the figure felt a chill run through his body, and his eyes went completely blind, as if veiled by a fog.
The figure cried out in despair, "Oh no, a curse, witchcraft, to blind me?"
Blinded, the figure had no idea which direction to run in and was in a panic.
A short while later.
Green, who had tracked the creature by its nose, looked at the man who had been burned to ashes and said in a low voice, "They didn't even cultivate any companion worms, yet they went and learned this kind of escape magic that leaves behind bodily information. How foolish."
