Chapter 638: Hunting the Target VIII
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Within the confines of the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy, Caso was following behind his mentor on patrol . The sky was filled with squadrons of Strabamite guardians . Every level was on high alert .
It was dead quiet .
“Sigh…”
Caso could not help but let out a sigh . It was that damned Concealed One from the Hydra Wrath Academy . He was supposed to join in the battle at the Hydra Wrath Academy with his mentor, Pierre d’Bout . Now, they had been assigned by the dean to stand guard as patrols in the academy to fortify the defenses .
What a terrifying Concealed One…
For the past few days, he had heard from his mentor, the Level-2 Sorcerer Pierre that other than being responsible for attacking the Sorcerer Tower and destroying the guardian’s nest, the Concealed One had also assassinated more than fifteen Sorcerers . Most of them were Level-2 elite Sorcerers of the academy!
The dean, in an effort not to stir up any more fear, had to put the news on a lockdown . He had been preparing in the dark and was making plans against the Concealed One .
The best proof for all these was the activation of the Three-Rings magic interdiction!
“At least our job’s done . Caso, go and get prepared . I’m going to meet Dean Migo and apply to head into the frontlines . ”
Pierre said as he turned around .
Bam!
Caso was overjoyed . Finally, no more patrols in the academy . Maybe the Concealed One had left the academy . These few days had been boring…
Boom!
Caso was looking forward to heading into the frontlines of the Academy War to prove himself . Suddenly, within the peaceful boundary of the Three-Rings Magic Interdiction zone, an ear-piercing explosion erupted from the mid-levels of the Sorcerer Tower that tore through the academy!
It was vastly overwhelming .
A fearful energy beam that terrified Caso shot out from the Sorcerer Tower . It pierced through the walls and magical barrier of the Mana Pool easily before penetrating the Three-Rings Magic Interdiction boundary like a gushing stream . The beam shot upward before vanishing in the skies .
The sudden and immense change in the air almost made Caso breathless .
Even Master Pierre was shocked as he channeled a steady magical power .
Thousands of Strabamite Guardians looked toward the hair-rising energy beam that tore through the sky . The scarlet hue of the pulverizing light filled their large eyes .
Immediately, these Strabamite Guardians swung their tails and dashed toward the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Tower fearlessly . Their cold emotions were like the Mechanical Marionettes .
Thousands more of Sorcerer-Apprentices who had yet to leave for the battlefield rushed out from their rooms . Strong gales blew their robes and hair into a mess . Their mouths were agape; eyes staring wide . They were in a state of shock as they saw the energy beam that was shooting into the sky hundreds of meters away .
Further out, every Sorcerer in patrol, regardless of their locations and what they were doing, turned around . The pupils of their eyes dilated as they took in the indestructible energy beam that was headed toward the sky, disturbing the elemental clouds above the tower in its path .
“Master…”
As he let out his words, Caso realized that his voice was stuttering and exceptionally coarse . Was he in fear?
“Ambush!”
Pierre d’Bout, the Level-2 Sorcerer was quicker to react . In the sea of screams, dozens of patrolling Sorcerers all sprung into action in the boundary of the Three-Rings Magic Interdiction zone . They rushed into the Sorcerer Tower where the terrifying eruption had taken place without hesitation .
On the wall of the Sorcerer Tower on the 58th level .
A clean, five-meter wide hole had appeared on the surface . It was a nice complement to the hole on the 66th floor that had been repaired recently .
Whoosh! A disorganized figure emerged from the hole . His body was partially cloaked and distorted . Beneath the Mask of Truth, his eyes were staring right at the oncoming Strabamite Guardians and Sorcerers that were coming from all directions . He let out a shiver .
This person was the Sorcerer who had used the Magnetite Star Core to pierce through the Sorcerer Tower, Grimm, who was making a messy escape!
Within the Three-Rings boundary that interdicted spacetime, Grimm was unable to return to Little Myna through teleportation . He had to escape beyond the boundary of the Three-Rings’ Magical Interdiction Array .
It was obvious, however, that the hundreds of Strabamite Guardians and dozens of patrolling Arcane Sorcerers were not willing to give Grimm the chance to escape .
“Kimraig!”
An anguished roar came out from the hole in the Sorcerer Tower .
Although he was in a mess, Grimm could not help but chuckle coldly . The Level-2 Sorcerer that had been marked by the myna’s poo had been blown into smithereens .
If they were ready, the Level-3 Great Sorcerers might be able to dodge Grimm’s Star Core beam with Half-Step Time . These sorcerers obviously knew the power of the Magnetite Star Core’s attack, and that was why Grimm did not choose them as targets .
He had directly placed his target on the Level-2 Demon-Hunter Sorcerer, Kimraig, who carried a Rank-3 Honor Badge . With a single hit, not even a piece of flesh was left of him!
Grimm once offered him a chance to escape . Instead of taking it, he came back and looked for trouble with Grimm who was casting a spacetime sealing spell .
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The six Level-3 Sorcerers were right behind Grimm . They appeared from the hole as well . Amirangelo looked up to the sky to see the partially distorted figure . There was a hint of terror in his eyes .
He just had a brush with death .
If he were hit by that scathing attack, even if it were just a graze, he would probably not survive it . Kimraig was the best example .
Buzz!
In a thunderous flash, Paku Aguda’s old sorceress bones turned into a streak of red lightning and crackled furiously in the sky . The lightning was directed at Grimm . The electric arc ignited sparks that sounded like water being dropped into a pot of hot oil .
“Advanced Materia Transmutation, Lightning Meltdown!”
Grimm was instantly reminded by the red lightning arc about the apocalyptic scene he once saw as an apprentice, when Master Peranos led him past a True Necromancer’s crater that was filled with lightning meltdowns and tempestuous storms .
The old Sorceress Paku Aguda had also achieved advanced transmutation as well . She was only a Rank-1 Honor Badge and a soul transmutation away from building her own tower and becoming a Stigmata Sorceress!
Grimm was fearless . He countered it with a black electric arc .
Boom! The black and red electric arc collided for a while . The red lightning arc was being pushed back . At the range limit of twelve meters, however, the black arc disappeared .
The surrounding light returned back to normal . Grimm turned around to dodge an oncoming lightning arc .
“What an advanced lightning transmutation!”
Old Sorceress Paku Aguda’s eyes were wide open in disbelief . Although she was able to maintain a longer period in channeling energy to the electric arc due to her Half-Step Time, in terms of damage points alone, her opponent’s was obviously one level above hers .
What she did not know, however, was that Grimm’s black lightning arc was the black flame of his destructive spell that was turned into a conduit by the World Veil .
