Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Apprentice War (Part 5)
“Monster, he’s truly a monster,” Eugene said, staring at the black giant before him, with a cry of panic in his heart.
He took out a Magic Stone to replenish his Magic Power and then swung his Magic Wand. A Fire Crow crashed into Richard, bursting into fierce Flames.
But after the Flames had vanished, the black giant continued toward him at an unhurried pace, and the wound he had caused was healing at a visibly rapid rate.
Before this, the black giant had taken at least a dozen Spells from him, with both fire and ice, each over fifty in Energy Level.
But when they hit the giant before him, they could only leave a few wounds at most, and at worst, a blood hole.
“What kind of monster am I fighting against!”
On the other side, Richard walked toward him with a Great Sword in hand, unhurried.
At the start of the fight, Richard had wanted to finish it quickly. But after trading blows with Eugene, Richard suddenly lost that desire.
He did not understand what Master Alon, Eugene’s teacher, had been researching, but from his exchange with Eugene, it was clear that Master Alon had profound research into the application of Magic Power.
Eugene had already released over thirty Spells, but only now did he start to use a Magic Stone to replenish his Magic Power.
This showed that his Spells consumed very little Magic Power.
However, the power of Eugene’s Spells was not slight, many were close to one hundred in Energy Level. Combined with his energy consumption, Eugene could practically be called a Spell machine gun; very few wizards could withstand such an assault.
Unfortunately for Eugene, Richard was one of those few.
Thanks to the training from the Adaptation Body, Richard had extreme resistance to Elemental Magic, coupled with the recovery brought by his Bloodline activation, as well as the Flesh Control derived from the Flesh Rule.
Richard could easily catch Eugene’s assaults with Magic Power.
By seizing this opportunity, Richard wanted to show off his martial prowess to the surrounding Black Wizards, to give them a clear sense of his strength.
He did this to prevent similar internal conflicts from arising in the future.
For the vast majority of Apprentices, the most important aspect of this Apprentice war wasn’t the gains, but rather, survival. Those who could become a Wizard’s Apprentice were after all a minority; most Apprentices would immediately choose to graduate after reaching the level of Advanced Apprentice, becoming the Academy’s excellent workers.
By intimidating these people, Richard’s leadership would be much smoother later on.
Boom!
Another Fireball struck Richard.
Richard did not react, but a commotion suddenly arose among the surrounding Apprentices.
“Boss, there are Wizards from other Academies coming over!”
“Hmm?”
Richard frowned, thinking it was time to end this performance.
Upon hearing that Apprentices from other Academies were approaching, Eugene’s heart instantly tightened.
He instantly realized that his opponent was about to get serious.
“It’s over.”
Richard smiled, suddenly his right arm swelled rapidly, transforming into a black pillar in an instant. Under the effect of Flesh Control, Richard could mobilize muscles from other parts of his body into his right arm, achieving a tremendous increase in strength.
“It’s you who’s finished!”
Eugene roared, his red robe bursting open, revealing his upper body covered in Runes.
This was his do-or-die tactic; he never expected Richard to push him so far.
Magic Power flowed into the Runes, and Eugene’s body started to shrink instantly, but his eyes grew increasingly bright.
A terrifying Fireball condensed in front of him, reaching at least two hundred in Energy Level.
Boom!
The Fireball exploded, and the scattered Fire Element caused a wave of fire that instantly turned grass and vegetation into ashes under its wave, while the earth and stones were scorched, cracked, and charred black.
Eugene stiffly stared at Richard with his withered body.
He didn’t believe Richard could withstand it this time!
But after the flames, a black giant still stood there.
“How is this possible?” Eugene’s face was filled with disbelief.
The next instant, a black great sword shattered his head.
“Got a bit cocky.”
Richard shook the char off his body, and the flesh on his back suddenly split open, dropping out several drained Magic Stones.
This was one of the uses for Flesh Control that Richard had developed over the past days.
By manipulating his flesh, he had stored hundreds of Magic Stones within his body as a backup energy reserve.
Once his magic power was exhausted, he could quickly replenish it.
Just now, Richard had barely maintained the Magic Barrier against that terrible spell by instantly draining over twenty Magic Stones.
Clap, clap, clap…
Applause came from behind Richard, and as he turned to look, a man with short hair, dressed in a black robe and holding a long sword, was watching him.
The short-haired man had blonde hair, wore glasses, and appeared very robust. Behind him stood a group of Black Wizard Apprentices with academy emblems.
“Exquisite technique. Your control over flesh is truly extraordinary,” commended the short-haired man.
Richard took out a Wizard Robe from his pocket and put it on, “Void Academy? Or Annihilation Academy?” @@novelbin@@
The Void Wizard Academy and the Annihilation Wizard Academy were the other two academies participating in the exchange competition from the Black Wizard Camp. Each had approximately one thousand one hundred participants, about the same number as the Black Tower Wizard Academy.
“Void Wizard Academy, Anderson,” the short-haired man replied with a Wizard’s Salute.
“Black Tower Wizard Academy, Richard,” Richard returned the gesture.
At that moment, there was a stir among the apprentices behind Anderson, and a Wizard Apprentice came up to him, whispering a couple of sentences.
“Oh, friends from Annihilation Academy have arrived as well.”
Anderson smiled, and the apprentices behind him cleared a path. A skeleton wizard with Soul Fire blazing in his eye sockets, cloaked in a black robe, walked in, followed by a group of apprentices with the emblem of Annihilation Academy.
“Annihilation Academy, Aldo.”
Richard raised an eyebrow, as, within a short time, people from all three academies had arrived.
“Now that all three are here, let’s take a seat. The campsite the White Wizards left us is quite comfortable to use.”
With that, Richard pointed towards the tents in the distance.
The leaders of the three acadacies entered together, none with retainers in tow.
Unlike the White Wizards, all Black Wizards operated under a dictatorship.
The tent still had chairs left by Orey and his companions. The three sat down and glanced at each other.
“The confrontation between your Black Tower Wizard Academy and the White Wizards seems to have been quite fruitful,” Anderson initiated the conversation.
He had passed the first resource point with the apprentices from Void Academy, and the various White Wizard corpses left on the ground made Anderson shudder.
What made the apprentices of this Black Tower Wizard Academy so powerful to have killed so many White Wizards?
“Not bad, killed about four hundred,” Richard replied nonchalantly.
Aldo and Anderson exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
“Over four hundred apprentices… What were your casualties?” Aldo couldn’t help asking.
“Well…” Richard smiled, “Quite a few were injured, and about a dozen died.”
