Another corrosive light ball of dark green color was launched. A chubby man in a grey robe, with sparse hair and wearing crystal glasses, couldn't dodge in time and was grazed on the arm by the dark green light ball.
Before the man could react, a plump woman standing next to him screamed in terror.
The beautiful Half-Elf Wizard took a step forward, pulled out a dagger from his bosom, and swiftly slashed at the man...
Blood splattered, and an arm, corroded to reveal grim white bones, fell to the ground; the man, covering his wound, rolled in pain on the ground.
"Jolin!"
The chubby woman, with eyes red from crying, threw herself onto him, crying pitifully as she embraced the man.
The Half-Elf Wizard's handsome face showed a trace of reluctance as he turned his head and looked in Linus's direction.
Seeing that the latter was still quietly chanting, a hint of worry suddenly flashed across his face.
At that moment, an unidentified surge of energy fluctuated from the center of the area.
The Half-Elf Wizard looked up and saw the Black Robed Wizard standing in the middle of the open space slowly lifting his magic wand.
The wand, which appeared to be made from layers of skull heads, emitted a ghostly cold light.
The Half-Elf Wizard's heart skipped a beat; he quickly grabbed his own wand and began hurriedly reciting spells.
At the same time, Linus, who had been closing his eyes and focusing on casting, suddenly opened his eyes.
A wave of powerful energy, almost matching the Black Robed Wizard's, emanated from Linus, with icy blue light shining from his eyes and his magic robe billowed out.
"It's finally ready!"
A hint of joy flashed in the Half-Elf Wizard's eyes.
But when he realized that Linus had locked onto the wrong target, his expression changed.
"Linus! Don't aim at him directly! Deal with his puppet first!"
Without waiting to complete the spell he was weaving, the Half-Elf Wizard shouted out loud.
However, Linus, covered in a strong aura, just gave him a cold glance and continued to cast toward his predetermined target.
"Frost Ray!"
Streams of icy blue air surged along Linus's arms, converging into a white point between his fingers, then a beam of blue and white light, as thick as an arm, fiercely shot out.
As the blue and white beam fired, the temperature around sharply dropped. Centered on Linus, a vast amount of cold air escaped, freezing large patches of grass and covering them with a thick layer of white frost.
Seeing the straight blue and white ice frost ray shooting towards the position of the Black Robed Wizard, the Half-Elf Wizard shouted angrily: "Nicole!"
The figure, who was entangled with a flesh monster while wielding a sword, burst into a burst of white light upon hearing the call, forcibly breaking free from the entanglement of the flesh monster, and rushed towards the nearby Black Robed Wizard.
Almost simultaneously, the blue and white forces struck the Black Robed Wizard in the center of the area, quickly submerging his figure in a bright light...
Linus dropped his hand and staggered a few steps backward. It was evident that the recent spell casting had placed a significant burden on him as a Level 5 Apprentice, and he now appeared nearly exhausted.
"Linus... you're really awesome!"
The plump female wizard beside him promptly supported him, offering a kiss voluntarily, her face, which was somewhat attractive, filled with adoration and intoxication.
Linus smiled weakly, a hint of arrogance flashing across his face while enjoying the adoration of the woman beside him, his eyes unconsciously glanced towards the Half-Elf Wizard not far away.
However, this joy didn't last long in the area before a crack was heard...
The burly figure holding a great sword was knocked back with a grunt by a force, once again entangled by the flesh monster, and the Black Robed Wizard, who had been entirely covered by ice frost just moments before, was now reemerging from the large chunks of cracking ice.
He still maintained the posture of holding up his wand, a semi-transparent black light shield surrounding him, unharmed.
The Black Robed Wizard's pale, sinister face wore a thick smirk, and the ground around him was completely clean, not a trace of frost left.
"What?!"
Seeing this scene, Linus, who was proud and composed a second ago, suddenly turned pale, his expression becoming extremely ugly.
The female companion beside him was also stunned, subconsciously letting go of Linus's hand, her face turning pale as she stepped back, fear creeping into her eyes again.
"How could a Level 6 Apprentice in a Black Robe possibly lack corresponding protective measures..."
The Half-Elf Wizard seemed to have expected this scene, muttering to himself, and when he noticed the dim light radiating from the magic wand in the Black Robed Wizard's hand, a look of deep helplessness and bitterness finally surfaced on his delicate face.
"This is the end."
"Hum——"
The Black Robed Wizard raised his magic wand, a faint green light rapidly spreading from the tip of the wand, enveloping all the Grey Robes around in an instant.
Those in the range of the green light suddenly felt a strong sense of weakness rising from within, their limbs going limp, their bodies uncontrollably collapsing to the ground.
The burly figure, who was previously exchanging blows with the Flesh monster, was also violently thrown away the next second.
Watching one Grey Robed Wizard after another collapse, the Black Robed Wizard sneered disdainfully, casually pointing his wand, and the Flesh monster under his control roared and took large strides towards Linus.
Linus, targeted first, went pale, trying to back away with all his might, but standing was difficult while in the Weakness Force Field, let alone running.
Seeing the terrifying Flesh monster getting closer, Linus panicked, frantically searching for anything that could help.
Suddenly noticing the female wizard next to him, a fierce look flashed in Linus's eyes, and he kicked her shoulder with all his might.
The voluptuous Female wizard, caught off guard, screamed as she rolled toward the Flesh monster, which then immediately crushed her head with one stomp, stopping her scream abruptly.
The Flesh Monster kept moving, and Linus finally started trembling with fear.
The remaining Grey Robes felt cold and angry, but more than that, they felt despair.
After the Black Robed Wizard dealt with Linus, next in line... would be them.
"Conrad, my little darling... enjoy your lunch to your heart's content."
The Black Robed Wizard smiled, strolling leisurely through the field.
His eyes swept back and forth over the two Half-Elves, seemingly calculating something in his mind, his eyes flickering non-stop.
"Crack——"
The Flesh Monster caught Linus and violently ripped off one of his arms, then started to chew it loudly.
Linus's painful screams echoed through the clearing, spreading despair among everyone.
However, just then, "Whoosh——"
A loud whooshing sound abruptly came from afar, rapidly approaching, accompanied by a strong surge of Energy Particles.
The thinking Black Robed Wizard instantly became alert, quickly turning his head towards the direction of the sound and the disturbance.
The next second, his pupils sharply constricted!
A giant blue-black Energy Light Ball, the size of a watermelon, hugged the ground as it howled toward him.
Wherever it passed, large patches of turf were lifted and shredded... its furious and violent momentum resembling a hurricane.
The Black Robed Wizard had no time to react, only managing to roar out in a hoarse voice: "Conrad!"
The Flesh Monster, which was feeding, threw Linus aside and took several large steps forward, using its wide and massive body to firmly shield the Black Robe.
"Boom!"
The blue-black Light Ball collided with the Flesh Monster, exploding thunderously.
The latter couldn't even utter a sound before being blown into a sky full of bloody flesh by the raging energy flow.
