The Lord of Ashes

Irene did not make any reply to the yellow-robed magician's doubts.

She is also very interested in Thain, who has a mysterious origin and has a certain relationship with the grade director.

Especially when we first led Thain to join the Holy Tower Academy, we learned that Thain was originally valued by Midic, the second-level peak magician of the Dawn Holy Tower, and almost accepted him as a disciple.

So, what’s so special about Thane?

The battle that took place on the challenge stage went very quickly.

Mark's hand of fire is indeed powerful, but not enough to directly break through the earth elemental shield of Thane.

When Mark realized something was wrong and hurriedly chanted to prepare for the next spell, Thane's ultimate move arrived.

In the elemental halo in front of him, the completed Eye of the Sun magic was outlined, and the fire and light elements in the center began to gather.

A hot golden beam suddenly shot out from the ring, pointing directly at Mark on the other side of the challenge stage.

Outside the challenge stage, the yellow-robed magician had slightly adjusted the power of the elements and was ready to separate the two apprentices participating in the battle at any time.

On the contrary, Magician Irene seemed very relieved about her junior, and most of her attention was still placed on the Eye of the Sun elemental ring in front of Thane.

Magician Erin had never seen this amazingly powerful advanced magic in the Holy Tower Academy before, and had never heard of other official magicians mastering similar spells.

It shows that this is an advanced magic that Thain learned and mastered before coming to the Holy Tower of Blue Origin, and it is not known which official magician it was.

The energy beam of the Eye of the Sun penetrated the fire wall in front of Mark and left a striking hole in the fire curtain.

However, Mark, after the Fire Wall Technique, was not so embarrassed that he was defeated by Thane in one blow.

A layer of arm shield rippling with the power of water vapor appeared in Mark's hand, and bursts of white vapor appeared on the front of the arm shield.

Thanks to Mark's quick reaction and the fire wall technique providing a certain amount of cover, he was able to block Thain's attack with this magic weapon.

It's just that Mark's arm shield magic weapon is obviously not as good as Thane's earth element shield.

These high-end magic props in Thane's hands are all high-quality props made by his mentor Moses for his disciples to save their lives.

The principality family that Mark belongs to is indeed very powerful, but it seems that no outstanding alchemists have been born.

A small hole appeared in the arm shield in Mark's hand, making the senior apprentice shocked and angry.

I don’t know whether it caused permanent damage to the arm shield. From this, we can also see how powerful the single-target attack of Thane’s Eye of the Sun magic is.

The air-skimming boots were activated, and Mark immediately flew into the mid-air of the challenge platform.

Battles between apprentices often end quickly

.

The short-term airborne ability provided by the skimming boots can help Mark avoid Thane's next Eye of the Sun shot as much as possible.

These few minutes were enough for Mark to end the battle.

The voice of chanting a spell sounded again, and this time Mark's voice seemed a little urgent.

On the other side, as the hands of flames dispersed, Thain's figure reappeared in the sight of onlookers outside the challenge stage.

The light yellow earth element shield has not shattered under the impact of Mark's flaming hand.

There are just layers of fine cracks, indicating that the strength of this shield does not exceed the scope of advanced magic.

Thain's reappearance in everyone's field of vision undoubtedly brought great surprise and shock to the onlookers outside the challenge stage.

The middle and low-level apprentices who were relatively outside were surprised that Thain could block Mark's attack, and looked sideways at the earth elemental shield on Thain's body and the elemental aura of the Eye of the Sun in front of him.

The more advanced apprentices and above, including the two formal magicians, are all concerned about the special magic patterns in the elemental halo of Thain's Eye of the Sun.

"Oh? It didn't dissipate. Is this an advanced magic that can be released continuously?" the yellow-robed magician asked Eileen beside him.

The yellow-robed magician is not a fire elementalist, so his understanding of fire elemental magic is naturally not as good as that of Irene.

Erin shook her head slightly and replied: "It should be an improved advanced magic, but the other party doesn't seem to have completely perfected it."

"Normally, after the elemental formation releases an attack, it should dissipate."

"If you want to use it again, you can only sing the summons again."

"But after improvements, the limit of use became two."

"Because it also involves the use of some light element magic, I can't see through its essence at a glance." Magician Eileen said.

Neither of the two official magicians thought that the improvement of the Eye of the Sun would be the result of the efforts of Thain, a senior apprentice, in the past two years.

Maybe Thain really is a genius.

In other words, this is the result of his two years of tireless study of magic and studying the notes left by his mentor Moses.

This unknown apprentice has never shown his strength and wisdom in front of outsiders.

If he hadn't been provoked by senior apprentice Mark today, Thain would have continued to keep a low profile and silently learn all the knowledge and truths he was interested in.

The remaining Eye of the Sun array, inspired by Thane's magic power, once again gathered a golden beam of light.

However, this time, there are faint signs of collapse of the ring element diagram, and it is unknown whether the power of the Eye of the Sun magic will be reduced compared to the last time.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Eye of the Sun magic was activated again, Thain's chanting of spells did not stop.

I don’t know what means Thain has prepared to face Mark’s next attack magic.

In the end, Mark took the lead in completing the spellcasting chant.

Looking at Thain who was in the "turtle shell" of the earth elemental shield below, Mark shouted: "Let this elemental shield be annihilated with you, you will never be able to stop my magic!"

"Group Explosion Technique!" As Mark shouted, dense fire element particles gathered in front of him.

The wings trembled with a "crash" sound, and dozens of red firebirds appeared immediately.

The firebirds condensed by Mark's group explosion technique were not as vivid as the magician Erin showed in class.

This shows that Mark's mental control and micro-manipulation of elemental power are far less sophisticated than the magician Irene.

But despite this, as a powerful covering advanced magic, group explosion has indeed reached the upper reaches of advanced magic.

Dozens of firebirds crashed towards the earth elemental shield where Thain was located.

The bright yellow earth element shield soon shattered completely with a "click", and the other firebirds continued to rush towards Thain with undiminished momentum.

Although Thain's elemental shield was broken, Mark did not take it lightly.

With his highly concentrated mental power, he knew that Thain must have a way to fight back in such a desperate situation.

Sure enough, a golden light emerged from the raging flames in front of him, and Mark hurriedly controlled the air-skiing boots to hide to the side.

He had already learned how powerful and fast the single target attack power of Eye of the Sun magic was.

The hot burns coming from his arm made Mark turn pale, but his expression was smiling.

Because the Eye of the Sun magic did not hit his vital point, Thane would definitely be in bad luck.

The mass explosion technique can definitely seriously injure Thane inside the earth element shield. Even the official magician outside the field may be blown to death directly if his attack is slower.

Don't think of the official magician who is responsible for manning the challenge platform as the nanny of these apprentices.

They will indeed try their best to protect the lives of these apprentices within the scope of their duties, but it is nonsense to expect to remain unscathed in this level of apprentice battle.

"I hope the official magician outside the challenge will take action slower, so that even if this guy doesn't die, he will definitely be seriously injured that is unimaginable."

"Of course, it would be better to die!" Mark thought in his mind.

But in the next second, a blue flaming knife appeared from the side behind him, causing Mark's expression to fall from heaven to bottom in an instant.
