Belrod was ranked ninth among the top ten students of the Dark Realm Sorcerer Academy this year.
Although Belrod had always been humble and wise in the eyes of others, no one knew the abnormal pride in his heart.
This was because he believed that given enough time, he would be able to surpass any other Sorcerer-Apprentice. He had always been like this!
From an unknown newbie who no one paid attention to, Belrod had gradually surpassed his friends and those so-called experts. He had even become an influential figure in the top 10 students of the academy.
All of this was the reason why Baird was so arrogant. Beneath his seemingly humble and wise eyes was a pride that looked down on everything.
Even the so-called top 10 students of the Dark Realm Sorcerer Academy, if not for the lack of time, he would definitely be able to surpass them. He believed that such a day would come.
"Yes! That's it! That's the chance! "
When the Dark Realm Sorcerer Academy announced the rules of the trial, many Sorcerer-Apprentices trembled in fear. However, Belrod's heart was trembling with excitement, and he even resisted the urge to laugh out loud.
Because of this, he could not help but lower his head and tremble. In the eyes of some people, Belrod seemed to be afraid.
Usually, it would take him a month to earn dozens of magic stones. However, in this trial, he could earn 500 magic stones just by killing one Sorcerer-Apprentice.
This kind of trial was simply a wonderful paradise!
"Yes, as long as I kill 10 idiotic Sorcerer-Apprentices, I can get 5,000 magic stones. If I can kill 20, it will be 10,000! If I want more … "
Belrod's eyes were red with excitement. As long as this trial was over, the so-called top 10 students would be nothing more than fleeting clouds. "My goal is only the Sanctum!"
Bellod said to himself coldly.
On the way to the secret plane, Belrod almost fell into madness.
"Haha, the fourth one, 2,000 magic stones. That's too easy. 2,000 Magic Stones was easily obtained. Once I return to the academy, 2,000 Magic Stones will be enough for me to buy the things I've been planning for a long time. "
Belrod sneered, "When I have those things, the so-called top 10 experts will be nothing but bugs under my feet. Hahaha … No, 2,000 Magic Stones is far from enough. I just need to kill one more and I'll get 500 Magic Stones. I want more!"
Balrod pulled out his bloody claw from the chest of the sorcerer-apprentice he was sitting on. He looked a little crazy as he rushed into the distance to "hunt" the weak "prey".
Half an hourglass later, Belrod said hatefully, "Damn the mark. The more people he killed, the stronger the signal would be, causing those who were as timid as mice to run away after sensing it! Damn it! "
Belrod cursed.
Suddenly, Belrod stopped in his tracks, as if he had vaguely sensed something.
"This is … the scent of blood and the undulations of a mark! Yes, this was the reaction of the mark! Haha, it's nearby. Poor kitty, I've caught you! "
Belrod laughed maniacally. Not only did his palms turn into a pair of ferocious claws, but his body was also covered in purplish black scales. There was also a faint black liquid that seemed to be very poisonous. His whole body was as vigorous as a wild cheetah.
"Haha, kitty, let me …"
Belrod, who had jumped out of the forest, suddenly stopped talking. He stared blankly at the shocking scene, unable to make any sound.
The scene in front of him was too shocking!
Even Belrod, who had fallen into madness, sobered up in an instant!
In such a large area, large tracts of trees and grass had been destroyed by spells. There were potholes and ravines everywhere, and the strong smell of blood permeated the air. Some charred limbs were randomly scattered, as if the body had been blown up by some powerful explosive force.
Such a frightening scene was definitely caused by a battle between 20 or more acolytes. Only then would it be possible to create such a scene!
However, at this moment, there was only one person standing with his back facing him, panting as if he had used too much mana.
* Gulp … *
Belrod could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. A drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, but he did not notice it.
From the mark on his forehead, Belrod discovered that a huge, dazzling ball of light was unscrupulously releasing light in all directions. It was like a blazing sun in the sky, making people unable to look at it directly. In fact, they even felt like they would go blind if they looked at it for a few more seconds.
Compared to this person, the mark on his forehead was as pitiful as the light of a firefly, barely able to maintain its existence under the sunlight.
"This … How many sorcerer-apprentices must have been killed for the mark to become so terrifying!"
Belrod gasped, and in an instant, his consciousness became incomparably clear.
At this moment, Belrod had completely forgotten his purpose of coming here. At this moment, he just wanted to leave this hellish place. The person in front of him was not someone he could deal with!
Such a person had completely surpassed the scope of the so-called Top Ten Newcomer Ranking List!
No, this was not a person, this was a monster!
Suddenly, the panting figure with his back facing Belrod slowly turned around, and a pale mask appeared in Belrod's field of vision.
His pupils shrank, and without hesitation, Belrod retreated. At this moment, he had no intention of accumulating any marks.
The person who made Belrod feel fear was precisely Grimm.
Speaking of which, just from the beginning, Glenn had followed Glenn's path of slaughter. After he had killed the sixth sorcerer-apprentice, the mark on his forehead had already begun to emit rather astonishing waves.
This was because the sixth sorcerer-apprentice killed by Grimm was a strong one, and he himself had killed four people. In this way, Grimm's body was equivalent to accumulating the marks of ten sorcerer-apprentices. Suddenly, the marks on Grimm's body were like flames in the dark of the training field. Wherever he went, other sorcerer-apprentices would quickly avoid him, which made it impossible for Grimm to continue his "hunting".
After that, other than a very strong sorcerer-apprentice who tried to test Grimm and escaped, Grimm did not encounter anyone else. Even Grimm had decided to give up on this method of obtaining magic stones and wait for the secret plane to open.
However, after Grimm gave up on hunting, unexpectedly, four sorcerer-apprentices who emitted strong marks came to him together. It seemed that a small organization from a certain school had coincidentally teleported together and wanted to join forces to kill Grimm and seize the mark on Grimm's body.
Among the four of them, the weakest had three imprint fluctuations, and the strongest one had actually reached eight!
As a result, a great battle broke out.
Relying on Mask's ridiculously strong defensive cover, Grimm took out a mid-level magic stone to replenish his magic while continuously casting Firebird Sorcery. Under Grimm's powerful attacks, the four sorcerer-apprentices fell one after another in despair, and their marks were completely absorbed by Grimm.
And at the moment when Grimm absorbed the last sorcerer-apprentice's mark, his body reached 33 marks. Grimm's own mark waves were almost like the sun in the sky, with Grimm as the center, the powerful mark waves within a diameter of a hundred meters burst out in a circle of invisible waves.
At this moment, all sorcerer-apprentices within a hundred meters of Grimm would feel a terrifying mark wave like the raging sun in the sky.
This round of mark waves seemed to be warning everyone that here was the birth of a powerful sorcerer-apprentice that could not be resisted!
And also at this moment, Grimm felt a figure appear behind him.
"Another greedy? Five mark waves, hmph! "
Grimm's eyes under his mask coldly looked at the other person, waiting for him to come closer. At the same time, his hand was frantically absorbing a mid-level magic stone to replenish his magic.
However, what made Grimm disappointed was that this person seemed to be frightened by Grimm, and actually turned around and ran without hesitation.
"Huh? He ran away … Coming and going as he pleases? If it's 2,500 magic stones, it's worth chasing after him! "
With this thought, the magic staff in Grimm's hand fluctuated, and a huge wind element bat appeared in the air in front of him, constantly flapping its wings. Grimm did not hesitate. After running two steps, he lightly jumped onto the bat's back and chased after the fleeing figure.
Grimm's mark waves were released without restraint, like the sun in the sky. All sorcerer-apprentices who felt the waves of Grimm's mark quickly distanced themselves, not daring to approach.
It seemed that only when Grimm's magic power was at full capacity and there were no magic waves on his body, would it gradually converge into his body and be released in a relatively small area.
The wind element bat gradually approached the fleeing figure on the ground. Grimm, who was on the bat, smiled coldly. A fireball slowly appeared on his fingertip, then turned into a firebird and flew towards the figure nimbly.
Feeling the exaggerated energy waves behind him, Belrod cried out in fear, "No!"
In desperation, Belrod threw out a precious consumable life-saving item.
A blurry mirror appeared behind Belrod, as if it had some special protective ability. Grimm's firebird bombarded the mirror, and with a "poof" sound, waves of fire shot out in all directions. The raging flames even caused the air to distort for a while.
However, this mirror completely blocked Grimm's attack, although it was also faintly discernible and almost disappeared.
"He blocked it? If that's the case, it's going to be difficult. "
Grimm frowned.
Previously, Grimm had used up a lot of magic power in the consecutive battles. Although he relied on absorbing magic stones to replenish some, it was not enough for continuous battles.
After a moment of hesitation, Grimm thought about opening the pocket mirror and sighed.
"Forget it, I'll spare your life."
With this thought in mind, Grimm urged the bat to land on the ground and began to concentrate on absorbing the magic stone in his hand.
In the previous battle, Grimm had obtained two practical magic tools, which could be considered an additional gain.
One ring could store about 50 to 60 points of magic power, which could be instantly replenished when needed.
The other one could release a decent defensive ring of fire, which could reflect about half of the energy of an attack below 30 degrees and weaken attacks below 40 degrees.
However, Grimm already had the Fountain of Joy Necklace, and its defensive capabilities overlapped with Mask's defensive barrier, so it was temporarily useless.
The fleeing Belrod looked at Grimm who had given up on chasing, and his trembling heart finally relaxed. He was on the verge of collapsing, "Which Wizard academy did this monster come from? I can't believe I met him on the first day. Luckily, I spent an astronomical sum of 500 magic stones to buy a Void Mirror to save my life. Hmph … Let's put the hunting matter aside for now, and find the organization as soon as possible. "
At the mention of the Void Mirror, Belrod felt his heart ache again, but he did not dare to turn back as he fled into the distance.
The further away from this monster, the better!
