Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

Chapter 96: Chapter 92: Apprentice War (11)_2

“Prepare to meet the enemy!” Orey commanded.

The apprentices of the Secret Keeper Academy, having been tempered by war, now grasped their magic wands firmly, displaying a semblance of the White Wizard Army’s qualities.

At the very least, they wouldn’t scatter and flee at the first sign of spells or casualties.

To the sides of the Secret Keeper Academy apprentices, those from the Clear Frost Academy and Aurora Academy also gripped their wands tightly.

After experiencing a chaotic battle, these apprentices had learned a thing or two and could be considered raw soldiers fit for the battlefield.

As the Secret Realm and Void Annihilation Academies joined forces, both sides realized they were completely surrounded.

At that moment, the White Wizard Army led by Orey was about to enter spell range, the magic fluctuations from the White Wizard Apprentices brewing their spells were even strong enough to stir a breeze in the forest.

“It looks like we’ll have to force our way out,” Anderson said with a frown, decisively making his choice.

Across from him, Aldo had reached the same conclusion.

Although scattering the apprentices would allow more to escape, it wouldn’t benefit them as advanced apprentices one bit.

The outcome of the war mattered, but their own lives were of utmost importance.

“Prepare to break through! Use every escape trick you have!”

Anderson relayed the order, taking out a bottle of magic potion from his magic pocket. The potion looked a vivid red, resembling the blood of some creature. After consuming it, Anderson’s body immediately exuded an eerie aura.

“Blood of a high-level vampire, nice find,” Aldo complimented, and then took out a scroll from his pocket.

Upon opening the scroll, a mysterious force instantly enveloped Aldo.

Anderson’s eyes turned blood-red, and blood vessels spread across his body as he glanced at the scroll, saying with a hint of surprise, “A Luck Scroll! You actually managed to get your hands on something like this!”

Aldo’s Soul Fire flickered, “Found it by chance during an adventure.”

The Luck Scroll was a long-lost piece of knowledge from the Curse School, capable of temporarily enhancing the user’s luck for a short time and repaying it with bad luck at a later time.

But for someone facing death, living even a second longer was a gift; what did bad luck matter?

“Prepare to break through!”

The two leaders issued orders to the apprentices of their own academies, then took the lead in charging out.

After ingesting the blood of a high-level vampire, Anderson’s physique, healing abilities, and even his reflexes were greatly enhanced.

At this moment, Anderson’s physique had reached the level of a peak-level apprentice, which was more than adequate for a breakout.

Beside him, Aldo appeared much more composed, swiftly moving through gaps in the spells without a scratch, like passing through a dense thicket without a leaf touching him.

Behind him, numerous Black Wizard Apprentices pushed forward against the onslaught of spells from the White Wizard Army, many being burned to ashes or electrocuted into charcoal.

“Stop them!”

The commanders of two White Wizard Army units issued orders, and the army began to move, forming a wall of despair to block the Black Wizard Apprentices.

“Block your mother’s head!”

A roar echoed from behind the White Wizard Army, and a black giant, similar to a Demon God, holding a great sword ablaze with black flames, charged toward the army.

Anderson, in the midst of the breakout, recognized the black giant at a glance.

“Hail from the Black Tower Academy! Follow me and strike at the White Wizard Army!” Anderson bellowed.

The White Wizard Army immediately shifted their target, hoping to swiftly defeat the black giant with a barrage of spells.

“Six o’clock direction, 50 meters, prepare all lightning strikes!”

“Fire!”

In the next instant, hundreds of bolts of lightning burst from the tips of the White Wizard Army’s wands, nearly engulfing Richard with purple thunder.

But in the next moment, the black giant reached the front lines of the White Wizard Army.

“He’s still alive!?” The commanders of the White Wizard Army were shocked.

Surviving a barrage of hundreds of spells could only be done by a Wizard.

“To hell with you!”

The black giant bellowed angrily, with muscles bulging on his arms, he swung his great sword, cutting down the Defense Apprentices and bringing forth a burst of blood mist.

The White Wizard Apprentices were stunned by the scene.

What kind of monster was this, able to survive hundreds of spells?

But at this moment, there was no time for them to think, because behind the black giant, hundreds of elemental spells were flying towards them.

Boom!

The White Wizard Apprentices scattered in all directions, even the commander Advanced Apprentice fleeing in panic.

This was simply a monster.

The encirclement was torn open, and the Black Wizard Apprentices prepared to break through quickly escaped through the gap.

Richard planted his Great Sword into the ground, black smoke continuously rising from his body, with a gash ripped open in his flesh at the back, and several Magic Stones drained of magic power fell out.

His condition was not as heroic as the White Wizard Apprentices had perceived.

Thanks to his Adaptation Body, Richard had developed resistance to elemental spells of fire, thunder, and ice below the fifty Energy Level.

But reality wasn’t a game, and resistance had its limits.

One punch to the body might do nothing, but a hundred punches would definitely pose a problem.

At this moment, Richard could feel fire-like pain all over his body. His Bloodline, in an effort to heal his body, had instantaneously drained ten Magic Stones.

“At least the experience wasn’t a total loss. I managed to intimidate them.”

Richard regained his strength and glanced at the pursuing White Wizard Army ahead.

At that very moment, Orey also happened to be looking at Richard.

Their eyes met, and a mutual sense of recognition arose between them.

That person was his greatest enemy in this war!

Richard pulled out his Great Sword and waved at Orey, then disappeared into the forest.

Orey ordered the pursuit to continue, but the White Wizard Army, needing to march in formation, couldn’t match the Black Wizard Apprentices’ speed of escape.

Moreover, during the pursuit, they were attacked by a Magic Array trap, which further slowed them down.

Watching the Black Wizard Apprentices gradually vanish into the forest, Orey punched a tree beside him.

“Alas! So close, yet so far!”

At that moment, the commanders of the two White Wizard Army groups responsible for the encirclement also arrived by Orey’s side.

“Denis, why did you flee! Do you realize, because of your rout, we’ve lost all the gains of the evening!” Orey shouted angrily at one of the commanders.

The commander called Denis hung his head low, the image of Richard charging through their ranks flashing before his eyes.

He had to admit, he could not muster even the slightest desire to resist that black giant.

What kind of monster could withstand a hundred spells? How could such beings appear on an Apprentice battlefield?

“We… we encountered a monster,” Denis said bitterly, “Before we routed, that monster must have withstood nearly a hundred bolts of lightning.

But he was still alive… and even managed to charge at our formation!”

Denis’s face was filled with bitterness: “Such an enemy… I can’t bring myself to resist. Commander, punish me, I am willing to accept all responsibility.”

Orey exhaled after listening.

“You will be punished. But before that happens, reorganize your troops.” @@novelbin@@

Denis’s excuse was valid, even Orey himself would probably have only slowed the rout at Denis’s position.

A monster that could charge against a legion under a barrage of spells was still too much for the Apprentices of the Secret Keeper Academy at this point.

But a valid reason did not mean exemption from punishment.

Denis was unlikely to get a commander’s position again in this war.

After the battle, the three Academies tallied the casualties.

The Secret Keeper Academy had lost more than thirty Apprentices in this operation, while the other two, only supporting, had about a dozen deaths each. Including the casualties of the night raid, both Academies had lost over half of their Apprentices.

But the result was substantial; during the operation, they killed approximately a hundred and fifty Black Wizard Apprentices. During the night raid in the melee, they killed forty Black Wizard Apprentices.

Together, the two battles resulted in a loss of one-fifth of the Black Wizard Apprentice camp.

After the battle, the Apprentices from the Aurora and Clear Frost Academies immediately returned to their own resource points, the battle being a loss but also a growth opportunity.

Mixing veterans of war with new troops was a way to effectively enhance the combat power of the newcomers.

And at this very moment, outside the Secret Realm, the headmasters of the six Academies were silently watching them.
