A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 604: Duel of the Aces!?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Between the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy and the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy, the third full-scale battle of the Academy War had begun!

Due to the rules of the Sorcerer Continent Holy Tower, there was still half a month before all Sorcerer Academies recruited Sorcerer-Apprentices. Still, it was an attack launched by the powerful Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy.

“Dean, the Guan Lan Pavilion has found a large number of Shadow Argus Sorcerers, with a total number of between thirty and fifty. There are traces of Battle Mechanical Marionettes, and emergency assistance is needed!”

In the crystal ball, behind a Sorcerer was an incessant battle, and he was anxiously requesting for support through the crystal ball. He vaguely saw silhouettes of Sorcerers on the horizon, with a number of thirty or forty people, and spawns of heavy and massive Mechanical Marionettes on the ground walking toward his direction.

With a bang, rock debris flew all over the place. A Stone Giant landed next to the Sorcerer, stood up on the ground, and then the crystal ball’s communication turned off with a squeak.

“Master, allow me.”

Grimm presented himself from behind Peranos, asking for instructions, only for Peranos to wave for him to stand aside before looking at Sorcerer Ezma beside Grimm.

“Take six Level-1 Sorcerers and one hundred guardians of the Twin-Headed Snake Sorcerer Academy there for reinforcements, and keep in touch at all times.”

“Yes.”

Holding his magic staff, Ezma nodded. After recruiting six or seven people from the group of official Sorcerers, who was on standby, they flew directly out of the Sorcerer Tower into a distance.

On top of the Sorcerer Tower, there was an Elemental Cloud Whirlpool formed by the Mana Pool, displaying bursts of suppressed breath.

And below this Elemental Whirlpool, there were thousands of Twin-Headed Snake Sorcerer Academy Guardians flying around in circles hissing continuously, being linked with the breath of the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Tower’s Mana Pool. They circled around the Sorcerer Tower, casting a large shadow upon the tower.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh…

Hundreds of Twin-Headed Snake Sorcerer Academy Guardians blasted out of the circling clouds, followed the six lightning-fast Sorcerers and disappeared in the sky.

“Caw caw caw. Young Master, we are the ace Sorcerers of the academy, we don’t need to be dispatched for such minor problems. Besides, we still have to conserve our strength and wait to fight for city dominance. By the time these Great Sorcerers are occupied in dealing with one another, they’ll then naturally rely on us. Caw caw caw caw… ”

Little Myna smiled optimistically.

The War Command Hall was located on the 90th floor of the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy. Hundreds of Sorcerers were waiting for their mission assignment. They fully cooperated with the academy guardians, Mechanical Marionettes, and the academy’s Mana Pool to prevent the enemy from getting any closer to the Sorcerer Tower.

Compared to the guardian support’s external advantages at the academy guardians’ side, the academy attackers’ side could only rely on the offense of both official Sorcerers and Sorcerer-Apprentices.

Of course, on the condition that the Sorcerer-Apprentices actually dared to appear in the criss-cross of the Sorcerers’ battlefield.

On the other side, a message also came from Master Udon’s crystal ball.

“Report to the Dean! There are powerful enemies at the academy’s five o’clock south, with coordinates of 574682. They are the deans of the two enemy academies respectively, and the defense magical array can’t hold on much longer!”

In the crystal ball, the red thunder above the head of a Sorceress intersected and converged with that of a streak of blue ice. Dozens of Twin-Headed Snake Sorcerer Academy Guardians were flying. A giant ice elemental monster, created by the element activation sorcery, roared in the sky. The horn on its head blasted beams of light into the sky without stopping.

Slightly lower down were the silhouettes of seven or eight Sorcerers, either of those standing on the shoulders, back and head of the summoned element-activated creatures, or of those floating in mid-air. All looked up at the sky one after another, and the elements were scattered rapidly.

In the sky, other than the magical array where the red thunder and blue ice intersected and converged, a dark grey overtone bloomed from a Sorcerer’s magic staff like a blazing flame. A pair of magical arrays that appeared to have been shredded and torn apart mercilessly could be seen, evidently they had achieved considerable results!

Around the dark grey overtone, the magical arrays shattered like dry land. The energy replenishing non-stop from all directions of the magical array foundation was obviously not enough to make up for the loss caused by local damages. From the thin energy hole, the indifferent face of this powerful Sorcerer who forcibly destroyed the magical arrays could be seen easily.

After the appearance of the Sorcerer, there was a red-haired and red-bearded Great Sorcerer who held up his magic staff. Under the perfusion of magic power accumulated for a long time, a flaming fireball with a diameter of several meters was burning like a small sun. It distorted and twisted the air in all directions, illuminating the placid and stubborn face of the slightly obese Sorcerer. His fiery red hair and beard were fluttering about with the twisted air.

“Oh crap, they are Serajagaze and Budong. I have to go there myself.”

Master Udon, with his ferociously stitched-up face, murmured to himself, and there was a trace of worry in the depths of his eyes. Apparently, the strengths of these two Shadow Argus Academy Sorcerers were extraordinary.

“Master, I want to go too!”

“Master, take me…”

Cameron, and both his brother and sister, begged. On the other side, the great disciple, Acnie, who was under Master Hydra Wrath, also presented himself.

“Fourth Master, let me help you!”

After receiving special care from Master Hydra Wrath, Acnie’s strength was now very strong. At this time, among the more-than-twenty deans of the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy, he should be able to be ranked in the top ten.

“Ok.”

After somberly looking at the several of them, Udon nodded and said, “You should also be clear about the strength of these two people, so I won’t say more.”

“Don’t worry, Master.”

“Got it, Fourth Master!”

Udon turned to Deidaron, Peranos, and a large group of Sorcerers and said, “Whatever happens below is now all up to you, the Sorcerer Tower must not fall!”

After saying so, Udon and the several Sorcerers left quickly. Among the many Twin-Headed Snake Sorcerer Academy Guardians circling around the Sorcerer Tower, dozens of them flew out following the group of Sorcerers and disappeared.

“Sigh, at the coordinates of 7943, 662646 in the west, the layout’s Defensive Force has disappeared, and even the intelligence communications have not been sent out on time. Looks like we need to trouble a dean to ascertain some specific situations himself.”

This time, it was Master Deidaron who said with a frown.

After looking around at the respective Academy Deans, an old Sorceress with a snake-like body presented herself

“Hoho. It looks like a terrible situation has occurred. After all, the Defensive Force over there is not weak, so let me go check it out myself!”

The old Sorceress spoke with a relaxed manner, but many Sorcerers present were happy, even Deidaron and Peranos were of no exception.

“Thank you for your help, Master Sarimuye.”

The old Sorceress was a Level-3 Demon-Hunter Great Sorceress of the Holy Tower of Six Rings personally hired by Master Hydra Wrath at a great cost. She had a Rank-2 Honor Badge, and her strength was extremely terrifying, vaguely being the strongest powerhouse of the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy camp.

After this snake-like old Sorceress disappeared from the hall with a flash, suddenly, an unfamiliar Great Sorcerer not far away slammed the table fiercely after flying into a rage.

Thud!

“Damn it, it’s this guy again! It’s him again!”

In the crystal ball, a Level-2 Sorcerer seemed to be playing around with his prey. He stood on a flying stone and circled around the Sorcerer like a ghost, who was calling for help, while smiling. This made people feel disgusted.

“Idrim!”

On Grimm’s side, Varro spitefully uttered a name.

Facing Grimm’s puzzled eyes, Varro said lowly, “This is an ace Level-2 Sorcerer of the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy who is extremely terrifying. He seems to be able to absorb the enemy’s Disgust Emotion Energy. Ten years ago, had my master not interfered personally, I would have died in his hands. ”

‘An ace Level-2 Sorcerer!?’

‘A Sorcerer who collects Disgust Emotion Energy? No wonder people are so disgusted!’

“Hee hee haw haw… little guy, did you ask for help? If you’re done, I will slowly kill you, okay?”

“Bastard! He really thinks that there are no extra Level-3 Great Sorcerers in the academy to go up against him! I’m going to destroy him and rip his face apart!”

An old Sorceress with an unhealthily pale face screamed, and the pair of eyes on her rickety body was extremely livid.

At this moment, Peranos suddenly stopped the old Sorceress. Upon looking at the angry eyes of the old Sorceress, Peranos said in a low voice, “This guy is very cunning. The moment you go there, it proves that he has caused your disgust. He will not fight you; he is just collecting your Disgust.”

“Hmph! I wanted to tear his face apart ten years ago! Once I’m there, he’d no longer run!”

The old Sorceress was obviously very conceited, but was stopped by Peranos once again. Just when the old Sorceress was about to go ballistics, Peranos looked at Grimm with a slight tilt of his head.

“Kill this guy, he must die!”

With his eyes being indifferent and cold under his Mask of Truth as if reflecting the scene of numerous dead bodies he had stepped on during his Demon-Hunter Expeditions, Grimm deeply said, “Got it, Master.”

Consequently, Grimm disappeared in the cawing laughter of Little Myna on his shoulders.
