In a hall on the upper levels of the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Tower, a small group of elite Sorcerer-Apprentices who had been under the management of their Academy Dean, Xue Zang, for the past three years, were on standby.
Since Nigra was instructed by Grimm to wait for his mission call and had joined the elite Sorcerer-Apprentice team, he felt extremely stressful every day. These were the real elite Sorcerer-Apprentices nurtured by the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy, and also the cards for the academy’s attempt to rise again.
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
Although the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy had ended its main attack on the Sorcerer Tower’s Mana Pool six days ago, there were still a large number of latent Shadow Argus Academy Sorcerers and Hydra Wrath Academy Sorcerers scattered in the Hydra Wrath Academy outside the Sorcerer Tower. The Sorcerers of the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy did not completely reclaim their Academy Ownership.
This was the most effective way to stop the Hydra Wrath Academy Sorcerer-Apprentices from leaving the academy in large numbers.
In the Academy War, no Sorcerer should use force in the cities occupied by humans, otherwise he would violate the Sorcerers World Guardian laws. Only Sorcerer-Apprentices and Knights were able to fight for City Dominance.
Squeak!
Suddenly, as the door of the hall room opened, dozens of Sorcerers poured in, being divided into more than ten groups, they then stood in a row.
More than two hundred Sorcerer-Apprentices who were scattered around at first, minding their own businesses, stood up one after another, held their breaths and looked over without taking their eyes off the Sorcerers.
Nigra’s first reaction was to look for Master Grimm, who wore a greyish-white spiral mask, held the Sabbatic Goat Staff, and had the beautiful Little Myna with red and green alternate feathers perching on his shoulder, with his body being distorted and spectral under that surreptitious sorcerer robe, among these Sorcerers who were in an arbitrary state.
‘Found him!’
Master Grimm was actually standing behind a Sorceress, and he did not have the Sorcerer-Apprentice mission list in his hand. It seemed that he was not the leading Sorcerer for the current mission.
‘Who is this Sorceress?’
‘Could this Sorceress be even more powerful than Master Grimm?’
“Nigra.”
“Present!”
As the mysterious Sorceress standing in front of Master Grimm read his name, Nigra quickly presented himself and stood behind the Sorceress along with eleven other Sorcerer-Apprentices whose names were called out by her.
In addition to the twelve Sorcerer-Apprentices and Master Grimm, there were also two Level-1 Sorcerers behind the Sorcerers.
One of them had a white beard, long eyebrows, and was silent. Nothing too outstanding.
The other person was a little boy with a scar on the corner of his eyes. It was uncertain what caused his appearance to be as such. An active little lizard was crawling on his shoulder and it kept sticking out its forked tongue.
After more than two hundred Sorcerer-Apprentices were divided into teams, they followed their respective Sorcerer Chiefs and left the hall. They landed on red carpets that flew them to their destinations.
Grimm was on the red flying carpet.
“Mistress, about the two guys hanging around at the back, I’m going to get rid of them.”
Grimm whispered to the Sorceress in front of him. The Sorceress turned out to be Master Peranos’s wife, Grimm’s master, and the Gourmet Sorceress Alice.
Over the years, Alice had also advanced as a Level-2 Sorceress. But as she had always been under the shadow of Peranos, there were a few people who noticed this fact.
“Be careful, Grimm.”
Alice nodded. Although the Gourmet Sorceress had her own unique abilities, she was not skilled at fighting. She was more of a supplementary Sorceress.
“Be rest assured, Mistress.”
After Grimm said so in a low voice, he slowly disappeared in the eyes of the group of Sorcerer-Apprentices.
The corner of the silent Level-1 Sorcerer’s eyes were twitching visibly as he wanted to look for traces of Grimm only to find no clues at all.
The Level-1 Sorcerer with a lizard on his shoulder seemed to have some alternative methods of perception. When he knew that Grimm would disappear in front of his eyes, he could vaguely perceive the approximate direction Grimm was headed to.
The atmosphere was slightly depressing. Everyone felt a little restless and no one was speaking. The flying carpet silently went toward Dawn Protector City.
After a while, with a sudden flash of water wave on the flying carpet, Grimm appeared again with Little Myna on his shoulder like nothing had happened. They stood on the flying carpet and looked into the distance as if they had been standing there the whole time.
Acting like apparitions, they came and went without a trace nor a sound.
Alice did not ask Grimm about the outcome. The group gradually flew out of the grounds of the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy and disappeared into the horizon.
***
As expected, above Dawn Protector City, Alice, Grimm, and their group ran into the same Sorcerer who had come from the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy to recruit Sorcerer-Apprentices.
However, unlike the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy that only focused on a few cities to start a raid, there were too many cities that the Shadow Argus Sorcerers had to take care of, as such its strength was highly fragmented. Therefore, there was only one Level-1 Sorcerer there.
“Run!”
The Shadow Argus Academy Sorcerer shouted and flew away without looking back.
Without giving their opponent any chance at all. Alice, Grimm and two other Level-1 Sorcerers swarmed up and killed the Level-1 Sorcerer.
With a bang, his corpse fell onto the grasslands.
There were a total of seven Sorcerer-Apprentices behind this Sorcerer, with only three of them who were smarter. In fear, they clenched their teeth and headed down toward Dawn Protector City. The other four tried to escape into the distance but were killed by Grimm and the others.
“Clear out all the Shadow Argus Sorcerer-Apprentices in this city, and proceed to recruit new Sorcerer-Apprentices. As long as they can afford a gold coin, their mental strength being eight and above, and are age-appropriate children with normal intelligence development, they will be recruited.”
Although the team leader was nominally Alice, it was Grimm who gave the orders to the twelve Sorcerer-Apprentices.
In order to recruit a large number of new Sorcerer-Apprentices, the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy was forced to greatly reduce the quality of apprentice recruitment. This would cause the academy to spend the same amount of resources but would cultivate much fewer Sorcerers.
Of course, this was better than having resources but not spending it and let it be bottled up.
“Yes!”
Nigra and eleven other Sorcerer-Apprentices responded briefly and quickly, and descended from a high altitude to Dawn Protector City. The specific development situation of the current mission would be brought into play by these Sorcerer-Apprentices.
While all Grimm and the others had to do was… wait.
If they were to see any Shadow Argus Academy Sorcerer-Apprentice who dared to come out and try to escape, kill!
If they were to see any Shadow Argus Academy Sorcerer-Apprentice who dared to enter the city as reinforcement, kill!
If they were to see any Sorcerer from the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy headed here, attempting to regain the City Ownership and break the blockade of Dawn Protector City formed by Grimm and the others, kill!
Therefore, Grimm naturally summoned the Dark Devourer Infernal Spirit Giant, with its fifteen-meter-high black and golden flames blending together. Its Infernal Giant Sword was surrounded by a layer of the Darkness Pool. Majestically, it completely crushed the aura of the element-activated creatures summoned by the two Level-1 Sorcerers with great momentum.
The element-activated creatures, summoned by the two Level-1 Sorcerers near the Dark Devourer Infernal Spirit Giant, were like vulnerable weak creatures that would be crushed at any time with just one step.
On the other side, Alice uttered her sorcery spell, followed by the opening of a black Void Aperture. One by one, green bamboo life forms emerged out of it. This turned out to be the All Walks of Life Contract Summoning Sorcery.
“Alice, Alice!”
This world was obviously one of the many worlds that had joined the Sorcerer Coalition.
