From afar, Grimm discovered the large damaged buildings of the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy and the faint smell of blood floating in the air.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Five Sorcerers flew into the sky to greet Grimm, followed by more than ten Twin-Headed Snake Sorcerer Academy Guardians with attack power of around two hundred and fifty. It was as if the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft that Grimm was on would trigger the Sorcerer Academy that was in a state of high alert to start a war!
It could be seen that the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy was indeed in an extremely bad situation.
Even a prosperous city like Moth Frog Town near the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy was unable to protect it, and even the academy itself was attacked by the opponent. Even if the Sorcerer Tower was barely defended, how many people could be recruited in the Sorcerer-Apprentice recruitment that happened once every ten years?
Without fresh blood to supplement the Sorcerer-Apprentices, it was difficult to compete for the dominance of the city. As a result, the source of Sorcerer-Apprentices was almost completely controlled by the enemy!
The Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy did not have an advantage in the war between Sorcerer-Apprentices, and the same was probably true for the war between official Sorcerer-Apprentices!
In the Academy War, if one could not directly destroy the opponent's Sorcerer Tower's Mana Pool, then one would have to rely on a large number of Sorcerer-Apprentices and the knights to attack the opponent's city. By continuously limiting the opponent's number of Sorcerer-Apprentices and reducing the opponent's fresh blood, it would indirectly destroy the Mana Pool.
The rules of the Holy Tower stipulated that Sorcerer-Apprentices could only stay in the academy for a hundred years.
In general, most Sorcerer-Apprentices would leave the Sorcerer Academy after the Holy Tower Qualification Battle. As a result, the weaker Sorcerer Academy would often lose the ability to obtain new blood after the Holy Tower Qualification Battle, and the Sorcerer Academy would gradually become an isolated island, gradually being destroyed by the opponent little by little.
The role that official Sorcerers played in the Academy War was the role that the Eternal Dominator and Celestial Sorcerer played in the World War!
The difference was the blockade of the city and the blockade of the entire world.
Once an apprentice left the range of a city locked down by an official Sorcerer, they would be mercilessly killed by the official Sorcerer. It was extremely difficult to resist, so they could only passively defend within the city and fight, facing the possibility that the other party would carry out an endless stream of attacks.
The role that Sorcerer-Apprentices played in the Academy War was the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers who fought in the Foreign World.
Five Sorcerers surrounded the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft and were on high alert. One of them was a Level 2 Sorcerer. More than ten double-headed snakes hissed and flicked their forked tongues, ready to launch a fatal attack at any moment.
With a creak, the hatch of the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft opened. One of the Magi seemed to have sensed something and exclaimed in disbelief, "Rank 1 Honour Badge!?"
Under the black aura, the Robe of Representations was in a distorted state of invisibility. Little Eight stood on his shoulder and looked around. The eye sockets of the Goat Skull Skull were emitting black flames. Under the Mask of Truth, a pair of elemental eyes were deep, cold, and mysterious.
Grimm looked at the Level-1 sorcerer who exclaimed in surprise. There was a ripple of sorcerer's barrier around him. He was probably just an ordinary Demon-Hunter Sorcerer, probably a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer that the academy had nurtured for hundreds of years.
"Grimm?"
It was the Level-2 Sorcerer who recognized Grimm. This person was one of Master Hydra Wrath's apprentices. Grimm had a brief encounter with him during the assessment two hundred years ago.
"Brother Ezma."
Grimm called out the other party's name, and the tense atmosphere immediately relaxed. Ezma and the four Level-1 Sorcerers put down their magic staffs.
"You've advanced to a Level-2 Sorcerer? Hahaha, that's great. Master Peranos will be very happy to see you. "
Ezma said in surprise.
Grimm nodded with a smile under the Mask of Truth and said, "I was able to successfully advance to a Level-2 Sorcerer this time. There was a lot of luck involved."
Under the greeting of several Sorcerers, Grimm flew slowly towards the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Tower at a low altitude, while the Sorcerer-Apprentices could only maintain walking or fly at a low altitude that did not exceed the building's eaves.
The Guardians of the Twin-Headed Snake Academy dispersed. Each Twin-Headed Snake Academy Guardian had a trace of the Hydra Wrath Stigmata Sorcerer's aura. At critical times, they could "summon" a little of the Stigmata Sorcerer's power.
Several nearby damaged buildings were particularly conspicuous, apparently caused by the powerful Sorcery of an official Sorcerer.
Otherwise, judging from the magical interdiction protection on every building in the Sorcerer Academy, if the Sorcerer-Apprentices wanted to cause such a large-scale destructive attack on the buildings here, it would not be something that could be done by hundreds or even thousands of people.
After Grimm took a few more glances at these places, Ezma said in a deep voice, "This was caused by the general attack launched by the Shadow Argus Sorcerers nine years ago during the decennial round of Sorcerer-Apprentice recruitment."
Ezma gritted his teeth, expressing his unwillingness to accept it.
"The opponent's power is too strong, and it's difficult for the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy to contend against them. Although we relied on the Academy's large-scale magic array, the Academy Guardian, the secret support of several nearby academies, the full defense of the twenty-eight Academy Deans, and the Level-1 Silence Tower's sufficient Mana Pool to protect the academy's Sorcerer Tower from being damaged, but that's all. In the battle for Sorcerer-Apprentice resources in the city outside the academy, we simply do not have the ability to fight against the opponent. "
Twenty-eight Academy Deans!
It seemed that in addition to the mentor, the other two masters, and the three descendants of Netherheart, Master Hydra Wrath had found many powerful Level-3 Great Sorcerers to guard the academy.
It was a pity that the Shadow Argus Stigmata Sorcerer, who had an irreconcilable conflict with Master Hydra Wrath, had temporarily summoned more Level-3 Great Sorcerers for this academy war than the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy. And in other aspects, whether it was low-level Sorcerers or Sorcerer-Apprentices, the opponent was far better than the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy.
As he flew, Grimm suddenly stopped.
In Ezma's confusion, Grimm suddenly asked in a deep voice under the Mask of Truth, "How many Level-2 Sorcerers are there in the academy?"
"About twenty or so. This is something that can't be helped. The mentor can spend a lot of money to temporarily summon some powerful Level-3 Great Sorcerers, but it's very difficult for Level-2 Sorcerers. The Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy has only been established for a few hundred years, and none of the official Sorcerers in the academy has advanced to Level-2. That's why Level-2 Sorcerers are rarer than Level-3 Great Sorcerers. "
Grimm also understood Ezma's explanation.
Grimm then asked tentatively, "Then among these twenty people, is there a Sorcerer who is good at hiding in the shadows of the dark element?"
Hmm?
Ezma frowned, and after carefully recalling for a moment, a trace of seriousness flashed in the depths of his eyes, as if he had realized something, and said with certainty, "There is a Level-2 Sorcerer who is good at hiding, but it's not hiding in the shadows of the dark element."
As he said that, Ezma waved his hand, and the four Level-1 Sorcerers around him immediately dispersed with vigilant expressions. In the distance, more than ten Twin-Headed Snake Academy Guardians flew over, and began to gather the nearby patrolling Sorcerers.
"Caw caw caw caw, Young Master, what did you find?"
Little Eight asked excitedly.
After Grimm nodded, he turned and sneered at the shadow of the ruined building not far away, "Still not coming out?"
There was a distortion in the shadow of the ruined building, and the shadow was like a pool of water. A Sorcerer emerged from it, revealing his upper body.
His skinny, withered face was full of wrinkles, and his hair was almost all gone. His body was like a shadow, showing an illusory, distorted elemental state.
"A Sorcerer who is good at sensing? In that case, consider yourself lucky today … "
Boom!
The invading Sorcerer had only spoken halfway when suddenly, after a flash of fire, there was a "boom" sound, and the ground cracked, forming a pit several meters wide. The shock wave easily flattened the ruins of the ruined building, and smoke rose into the sky.
"Hmph, just you?"
A shadow shot into the distance at an incredible speed, its speed indescribable. It seemed to be some kind of witchcraft that was researched for the sake of escaping with all its might, and then it once again dived into the shadows and hid.
With such escape speed and the Sorcerer's Hiding Shadow spell, it was difficult for Ezma to catch up. The academy guardians and patrolling Sorcerers who rushed over did not even have time to react.
"Damn it!"
The smoke and dust dispersed, revealing Ezma's disappointed sigh, and the light of the flame on Magus's magic staff was extinguished.
"No, he escaped again. This guy's speed is too fast, and his hiding ability is also very scary. Tell the patrolling Sorcerers to be more careful in the future! Right, Grimm … Hmm? Where's Grimm? "
The place where Grimm was at was empty, and only Little Eight was left in the air, pecking her wings, looking like she did not care at all.
"Of course I'm going to hunt down that arrogant and stupid guy! How dare he be so arrogant in front of Lord Ba's super evolved Grimm beast? Hmph, this guy is just a little sheep primitive beast, hehehehe … "
Ezma was still not used to the way Little Eight spoke, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "The opponent is very strong, and his ability to escape is shocking. He also has an extremely ingenious concealment spell. Can Grimm do it …"
* Boom! *
Just as Ezma said "can", a black arc of lightning appeared at a low altitude far away from the academy!
The invading Sorcerer who was hiding in the shadows obviously did not notice Grimm, who was also hiding behind him. He did not even have the time to cry out, and was already struck by the black arc of lightning.
"He disappeared?!"
A rank 1 Magus with the Eagle Eye spell cried out in shock. He saw with his own eyes that the black arc of lightning distorted light rays from all directions and hit the invading rank 2 Magus. The invading rank 2 Magus seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, completely disappearing without leaving any traces of flesh behind.
It was as if … he had been wiped out by some unknown energy?
In the void, there was a blur, and a greyish-white mask with spiral patterns appeared.
Grimm extended his hand and grabbed a magic staff. After observing it for a moment, he threw it into the dimensional gap, and the next moment, the mask disappeared.
Compared to the invading rank 2 Magus who could only hide in the shadows, the completely invisible Grimm was like a devil that roamed the world of dimensions. He was many times more terrifying!
This rank 2 Magus who was adept at hiding in the shadows would not even know how he died in the hands of Grimm. He was just a prey.
After a weak spatial fluctuation, Grimm, who was under Little Eight, adjusted the Robe of Representations into a semi-invisible state. Not only were the few rank 1 Magi at the side shocked by the elusive Grimm, even Ezma felt a layer of cold sweat unknowingly appear on his back, as if a shadow of fear that came and went without a trace had enveloped him.
"Hahahaha, that's great. This fellow has already ambushed the patrolling Magi in the academy many times. Who knows how many guards of the academy have died at his hands. Second Master Deidarion personally took action, and although he made that fellow disappear for a long time, he could not do anything to him. Who would have thought that he would die at your hands today. "
Although Ezma was smiling, he felt that the smile on his face was very forced.
This Grimm was ten times scarier than that elusive shadow Magus!
Although the two of them were in the same camp, the trace of fear in the bottom of their hearts could not be stopped.
This fellow was worthy of being the Sorcerer that Grandmaster Netherheart valued. He was indeed a killing monster that crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the foreign world. He was not an existence that ordinary Arcane Sorcerers could understand. This was a Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerer who lived for the sake of killing, a Sorcerer who had once changed the entire Demon-Hunting Expedition!
It was a pity that he had just advanced to a rank 2 Sorcerer. If he was a Level-3 Great Sorcerer who had been famous for a long time in the Sorcerers World, perhaps this academy war would be a different situation.
Perhaps he alone was enough to plunge the entire Shadow Argus Academy into a terrible nightmare!
