Collecting Badges

Chapter 84 Collecting Badges

The final battle finally took place under ideal conditions for both the wizarding apprentices of District 12 and District 19.

As the defending side, the wizarding apprentices of District 12 had a significant advantage, whether it was the large overlapping layers of restrictive power on the ground, the defensive terrain of the low mountains, the individual strength of the wizarding apprentices, some subtle arrangements, or even a few spies hidden among the enemy. They even had the academy guards who were deployed more often!

However, this war was not one-sided.

even……

On the contrary, the wizarding apprentices of District 19 had the upper hand, while the wizarding apprentices of District 12 could only passively defend themselves by taking advantage of their terrain.

The reason for this is the number of wizarding apprentices in District 19 and their lack of cohesion.

The wizard apprentices of District 19, with their superior numbers, formed unified phalanxes that attacked and defended together under a unified command. This was far superior to the scattered and individualistic fighting of District 12. Often, under concentrated firepower, even the wizard apprentice squads of District 12, which were known as the "strongest alliance," could only retreat in frustration and passively defend themselves by relying on defensive barriers.

The witchcraft was overwhelming, and the massive elemental fluctuations resembled a chaotic storm.

Without reaching a level that allows for a qualitative leap in power, even those so-called legendary wizard apprentices might perish if surrounded and attacked by a large-scale enemy force.

shhhhhh...

Spells of magic shot from the ground into the sky, but after dozens of wizard apprentices with the ability to fly glided past quickly, several large-scale destructive spells were followed by a series of thunderous explosions, and the fire on the ground quickly went silent.

At this moment, another group of wizard apprentices with the ability to fly arrived as reinforcements and began a chase and aerial battle with the flying wizard apprentices, with wizards darting around in the air.

……

Green stood in an inconspicuous spot on a low hilltop, with hardly anyone around for dozens of meters. In the chaos, no one noticed Green's calmness.

Seeing the situation of this decisive battle, Green couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

This is completely unexpected!

The 12th District wizard apprentices, who had a significant advantage in small-scale conflicts, were now forced to defend passively, relying on their superior terrain and restrictions. Whenever any of the alliance teams made a move, they were immediately met with a barrage of spells from the 19th District wizard apprentices, turning them into cowards who could only launch sporadic and irregular counterattacks from within the overlapping restrictions.

In this large-scale decisive battle, the wizard apprenticeship system of the six colleges of District 19 was completely at a disadvantage!

Green suddenly had a realization.

Is the Seven Rings Holy Tower's decision to have its wizard academies within its jurisdiction train wizard apprentices into two factions, one of light and one of darkness, so that they can adapt to both small-scale conflicts and large-scale group operations in the future when they clash with other worlds?

In other words, the light wizards of the wizarding world are the main force in attacking other worlds, while the dark wizards are elite wizards who carry out certain special missions.

Based on this analysis, even if one becomes a demon hunter wizard in the Seventh Ring Holy Tower in the future, they will probably be divided into two factions: the light faction and the dark faction.

The Ming Wizard might be able to maximize the advantages of this group structure, forming a super legion with a larger scope, greater numbers, and stronger collaborative capabilities.

As for dark wizards, they are those who maximize their individual combat abilities and transform into "demon hunter dark wizards" in the wizarding world!

Of course, this demon hunter is fundamentally different from the real dark wizards in the wizarding world.

Swoosh, swoosh...

Two wizard apprentices from District 19, who possessed the ability to fly, saw Grimm standing alone on a hilltop, looking rather dazed. One of the apprentices, who had wings of wind, flashed a fierce light in his eyes, crossed his arms, performed a cross-shaped whirlwind slash, and then turned and left without looking back.

The wizard apprentices who could stand here alone in this situation were either truly dull-witted or top-tier wizard apprentices with supreme abilities, which is why this wizard apprentice reacted in this way.

Anyway, if the other party is really an idiot, killing him is just a matter of course; if he is really a strong person, I don't need to fight him.

boom!

A shield of fire suddenly erupted in front of the "dull-witted" wizard apprentice, the powerful flames instantly shattering the Cross Whirlwind Slash spell. At that moment, a pair of calm eyes beneath the pale mask looked at the wizard apprentice.

"As expected of a strongman from District 12, retreat!" The two wizard apprentices flew quickly back to their own camp, not daring to delay in the slightest.

On the other side, here in Green's area.

Looking at the two wizard apprentices from District 19 fleeing rapidly in the distance, the attack from that person was quite powerful, at about 90 degrees.

If we calculate based on a top-tier wizard apprentice having 40 points of mental power to generate 80 points of basic magic power, then the opponent would need to have eleven to twelve times the leverage to control their energy level in order to unleash this attack.

Such wizarding apprentices are almost always those in every academy who have little talent or wisdom, but will always follow in the footsteps of their predecessors to the limit.

Each college has accumulated far too many of these wizarding apprentices.

"This is the guy. Anyway, his goal is just the badge. There's no room for individual ability to shine in this large-scale conflict. Although my plan seems dangerous, it's actually the safest, most discreet, and most secure method compared to this situation."

Thinking this, Green suddenly stretched out one hand forward, calculating the complex cross formula of repulsive and attractive forces in his mind while controlling his body to distort the space around him. The next moment, he appeared in the air dozens of meters away.

"lead!"

Green shouted at the wizard apprentice who had just cast the Cross Whirlwind Slash spell, and a powerful gravitational force immediately pulled the wizard apprentice towards him. No matter how the wind wings on the apprentice's back flapped, he could only crawl at a snail's pace.

The wizard apprentice's expression changed drastically. He turned around and looked at the District 12 wizard apprentice wearing a white mask in the air not far behind him with a look of horror and disbelief.

"Jialing!"

Another female wizard apprentice screamed and turned to fly back.

The male wizard apprentice roared, "Amy, run! This dark wizard is one of the top ten experts in District Twelve!"

The wizard apprentice flapped his wings desperately, but could only barely keep his body from being pulled back by the powerful gravity and from moving backward.

"No……"

Amy grabbed Jialing's hand, trying desperately to escape with him.

After another spatial distortion, Green looked at a touching couple a dozen meters ahead and said coldly, "Or... let them both stay."

A jet of water shot incredibly fast and struck the witch's apprentice's chest in an instant, but was protected by a green shield.

However, before the female wizard apprentice could react, a flash of lightning struck the water column, and with a "bang," the protective shield shattered like an egg falling to the ground, and the water column pierced through the female wizard apprentice's chest.

"No!"

The male wizard apprentice, named Jialing, screamed, staring at the falling corpse with despair.

Green remained unmoved.

At such close range, with the gravity in Green's hand being fully amplified, with a whoosh, the male wizard apprentice named Jialing was involuntarily sent flying towards Green. Green, whose physique was now ridiculously strong, grabbed him by the neck, giving him no chance to resist.

A moment later, after Green had memorized all the physical characteristics of the male wizard apprentice, he was about to kill him casually when he saw the male wizard apprentice glaring fiercely at Green while almost suffocating, and repeatedly slapping Green with both hands, though the force was so weak that it was as if he was just tickling Green.

Driven by surprise or curiosity, Green loosened his arm slightly.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After coughing three times, the male wizard apprentice yelled, "You bastard, you..."

Green shook his head in disappointment. Was it just to say these curses against himself?

If cursing can kill others and protect oneself, what's the point of those brutal trials in District Twelve...?

boring……

If I am no match for you, will you curse yourselves as bastards when you kill me?

With another sharp grip on the neck of the male wizard apprentice named Jialing, Green shouted, and with astonishing force, hurled the apprentice to the ground.

A dark shadow plummeted to the ground with a loud crash, shattering a pool of blood and flesh into pieces. It was utterly dead.

"asshole?"

Green shook his head, and under the transformation spell, his physical characteristics began to slowly change, gradually transforming into the appearance of "Jialing," the wizard apprentice whom Green had killed. He sneered, "How childish."

Since it's war, a mutual and equal slaughter, why say so much...?

As for why this war was started, that's something Green couldn't change.

Ok?

Green suddenly turned around and saw a semi-transparent figure in the distance who seemed to have witnessed Green's "transformation" process. The figure looked dumbfounded and seemed to have originally planned to ambush Green, but now gave up and fled at full speed.

"Since you've seen it, leave the badge behind."

With a flick of his finger, Green cast a fire bat spell. As a powerful repulsive force accelerated the spell, it vanished in an instant, turning into a red afterimage.

boom!

A burst of intense heat and fire exploded in the distance.

The next moment, the semi-transparent figure in the distance was engulfed by the inextinguishable flames, howling as it fell from the sky as a human torch.

Grimm's repulsive dual-force magic, combined with fire bat magic, not only broke through the original attack range of fire bat magic, but also created an extreme killing speed. Such a combination of magic will be reflected in most of Grimm's magic in the future.

Removing his pale mask, Grimm transformed into the "Jialing" and took the badges from the three corpses, wearing one of them on his own body. Then came the question of clothing.

At this point, Green, as a wizard apprentice in Jialing, was to go to the back of the wizard apprentices in District 19 to "collect badges".
