The Wizarding Age

When Grimm and his partner returned to the place where the team parted ways, four people were already waiting there.

Seeing the weakest group appear safely, Marcus, Leander, Isaac and Bruce all smiled in relief. If something went wrong with Grimm and Mary's group, then someone might have to carry out the mission alone during the next underground patrol.

But before they could put away the smiles on their faces, they were shocked by the corpse that Mary brought back. The black wizard robe and the decorations that were completely different from theirs all indicated that this... was a wizard apprentice from the fallen wizard camp.

The three senior apprentices were fine, but the quasi-witch Marcus looked a little unnatural.

"Is it a senior apprentice or a quasi-witch?" Marcus asked in a deep voice.

"Of course it's a senior apprentice. If it's a quasi-witch, we might not be able to come back!" Mary looked as if it was a matter of course.

Hearing her answer, the shock on the face of the quasi-witch Marcus was slightly relieved, but the look of doubt was still hard to get rid of. If he had not experienced the underground journey, he might not care about such a result. But the underground journey just now cruelly told him that it was a disaster for using elemental witchcraft there.

Elemental witchcraft has always been at the forefront of all witchcrafts for its great power and wide range, which allows apprentices who have mastered elemental witchcraft to temporarily transform into a terrifying firepower turret and submerge the battlefield in a violent and fierce witchcraft frenzy. What limits the ability of wizard apprentices is not the number of enemies, but their limited witchcraft.

But underground, these past experiences will become useless.

Fighting with unexpected enemies in an underground passage, overly fierce elemental witchcraft will directly destroy the only space they live in. Then what awaits them will be tons of soil and gravel tilting downward. Even if a quasi-witch is buried underground, the chance of escaping is not great.

In the underground world, the battles between apprentices are not about powerful and terrifying witchcraft, but about just the right witchcraft strikes. Only by restraining the power of witchcraft and accurately and effectively projecting it to the enemy can one be considered a qualified witchcraft user.

Facing the ratmen swarming in the dark, it may not be the enemy that brings you a huge disaster, but the explosive fireball you casually send. Therefore, after experiencing the siege of groups of underground creatures and the dark sneak attacks of strange monsters, every wizard apprentice who has just entered the underground will gradually shed his past flamboyant and domineering character in this painful and difficult tempering, and begin to become sinister and calm, smart and alert.

It is precisely because of personal experience that several people present know how painful and aggrieved it will be to fight against an enemy of the same level underground. Therefore, seeing Mary bring back the body of a senior apprentice of the same level as her, several people on the scene couldn't help showing a look of surprise on their faces.

Among the apprentices who took over the task of exploring the dark crypt, none of them took the path of a body-refining wizard. Why? Because the narrow and deep passages and battle sites in the underground world are not suitable for those who like to fight hard. Fighting here is actually more inclined to those small witchcrafts with moderate power and faster activation speed.

The two sides of the confrontation need to constantly change the battlefield and use the accumulated local victories to devour the opponent bit by bit. But once one side sees the situation and makes up its mind to escape, it is difficult for the other side to trap and kill the other side somewhere without special means.

And this red Mary can do this, which obviously shows that she has some strange witchcraft that is extremely suitable for use underground. So what could it be?

Everyone couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

At this time, 34 hours have passed since the last breakup. According to the distance, even Sabrina's group, which is the most difficult, should have returned. Thinking of the fierce "earthquake" that occurred underground before, everyone couldn't help but worry.

Fortunately, the most terrible thing did not happen. After everyone waited for 3 hours, Sabrina and Sheila returned in disgrace. The mission point they chose was located nearly 10 miles deep underground, so the huge changes in the bottom layer just now had the greatest impact on them. If Sabrina had not majored in mechanical witchcraft, several major organs of her body had been replaced by powerful magical machines, and it would have been difficult to open a road to the ground from the collapsed underground.

Since 4 of the 5 teams returned, it was clear who was attacked.

Just when everyone was bitterly preparing to accept the bitter fruit of losing two members in the first underground patrol, the young wizard Leo actually fled back to the camp covered in blood.

The gray apprentice robe was torn to pieces, and the thin body was covered with criss-crossing scars. And all the scars were entangled with lingering black smoke, which corroded the rolled wounds into black flesh. Leo was also hit by an acid arrow on the face, and half of his face was corroded by the strong acid. If it weren't for the clear mental fluctuations that revealed his identity, the team members would have treated him as an enemy.

Despite being so badly injured, Leo still refused his teammates' treatment. Before establishing true trust, he didn't want the secrets in his body to fall into the control of outsiders.

Hiding in a corner alone and hastily treating his injuries, Leo accepted everyone's questioning with a gloomy face.

When Sabrina heard that the three black-robed quasi-witches and one senior apprentice attacked and killed him and Matthew, she couldn't help but ponder. Even if she met such a strong person, she would probably find it difficult to please him. Leo's ability to save his life also fully demonstrated the strength of his witchcraft ability.

"How strong are the enemies you encountered?" After asking Leo, Sabrina couldn't help but ask Mary.

"Two enemies, a quasi-witch and a senior apprentice. We designed to lure away the quasi-witch, and then ambushed the senior apprentice. Grimm and I killed her together!" Mary narrated it lightly.

Although she described that she and Grimm killed the opponent together, out of habit, everyone still intentionally or unintentionally ignored Grimm's existence. There is no way, a junior apprentice, with a mental power of no more than 10 points, can only master one or two witchcrafts. Such a guy can also participate in the battle of senior apprentices? Sorry, everyone really can't imagine it.

Leo only noticed the female corpse lying at Mary's feet at this time, and couldn't help but scream loudly.

"It's her, it's her... She was one of the four people who besieged me. Later, when Matthew and I fled separately, two quasi-witches kept chasing me, and the other quasi-witch and this woman went to chase Matthew. I also had a hard fight to get away."

Leo's words were a bit evasive, but everyone didn't care.

What do you mean by fleeing separately? Humph, at that dangerous time, would Matthew, as a senior apprentice, have the courage to flee alone? It must be that Leo saw that the situation was not good and abandoned Matthew and chose to flee alone, which could also distract a lot of enemy firepower and attention.

Although everyone had guessed the possible scene at that time, no one blamed Leo for it. Put yourself in his shoes and imagine that if it were you, I'm afraid you would probably make the same choice as him.

That Matthew didn't escape, only because of his personal inability. Without the means to save his life, he dared to come underground to perform such a red-level mission!

After summarizing the information from both sides, Sabrina also got the basic intelligence of the enemy.

Among the three quasi-wizards, one is a blood wizard with the terrible bloodline of the alien demon snake; one is an esoteric wizard who can summon some powerful corpse puppets; one is a rule wizard with wind particles as the element of affinity.

With this information and the corpse of a high-level apprentice enemy, the team returned to the wizard tower and successfully received the relevant rewards from Angus Wizard. After all, Leo was attacked on the way back after completing the mission, so he still received his mission reward.

As a lucky person who killed an enemy of the same level alone, Mary received a special reward from Angus Wizard. It’s just that the process of receiving the reward was kept secret, so no one knew what her specific reward was.

When everyone was about to leave, Wizard Angus warned them in a sinister tone: "Little guys, don't think that you can be called a veteran just because you have successfully returned from the underground once. In the subsequent missions, such situations will become more and more frequent, and attacks will become more and more frequent. Only those who are fully prepared can live longer. So make full use of the rest time in these few days, otherwise you will not be so lucky on the next trip underground."

"In addition, the intelligence you brought back is very good. I will pass the information to the hunting team here. I guess those guys who ambushed you were too calm on their way back. Hehehe..."

Through the vague content revealed in Wizard Angus's words, the team members finally understood the significance of the existence of the other apprentice teams composed of veterans.

If their new team is the bait released, then the team that Kevin Blackhand belongs to is the hunting fork for prey. One exists as prey, luring the apprentices of the other camp to show up, while the other exists as a predator, specializing in sniping these black-robed quasi-witches who have revealed their whereabouts.

It can be imagined that the black-robed quasi-witches who ambushed Leo, Mary and others did not leave them behind, which was equivalent to exposing their tracks. Once a message was passed on, there would naturally be a team of predators patrolling underground all year round to hunt them.

When Leo thought of the possible fate of the enemy who beat him and made him flee in embarrassment, his half-festering face was full of hideous smiles.
