Chapter 73: Destruction
In just a few breaths, the sky was completely soaked in blood. The thick and oppressive dark clouds spread slowly like huge solidified blood clots, and the strong scarlet color dripped down
The originally warm and peaceful Hoddam College fell into a dark and gloomy atmosphere.
The noise and noise in the college seemed to suddenly leave in an instant. Everyone in the college stopped and looked up at the sky involuntarily.
Against the backdrop of scarlet blood, the faces of the small and fragile people were filled with shock, confusion, and the ever-growing fear of the upcoming unknown disaster.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
In just a few seconds, the large scarlet blood cloud quickly surged up and quickly condensed into an extremely huge blood ball, replacing the scorching sun, as if it had become a new blood sun.
"[Blood Dark Nova]!"
The cold and hoarse old voice sounded like the sinister wind coming from the gloomy old castle. At the same time, the bloody "scorching sun" in the sky exploded, turning into a ring-shaped monstrous wave of blood!
The rune magic circle covering Hoddam College was shattered in an instant, the white light ball at the core of the magic circle was extinguished, and large swaths of blood surged down
The entire college instantly fell into huge chaos.
Countless people were shouting and running around, and in the instructor's area, wizard figures like "little suns" flew high into the sky, with various intense lights erupting from their bodies.
A huge bloody hand hung down from the scarlet blood cloud, and figures in black robes flew out from behind the cloud.
Ronan stood in front of a beautiful little house with a blue roof, and suddenly saw the roof breaking open, and followed closely A girl wearing a black wizard dress was dragged out and hurriedly flew into the sky.
The girl looked flustered and at a loss. One hand was pressing the wizard's hat on her head, and the other hand was holding a thick spell book.
Her short hair was scattered and messy by the wind, and her exquisite crystal glasses slipped from the bridge of her nose. Before leaving, she glanced at Ronan and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something to him. But after a while, he disappeared.
Until the girl was completely gone, Ronan still hadn't fully recovered from the unexpected drastic change.
He was in the midst of an increasingly chaotic situation. He could smell the burning smell of magic in the air and felt that everything around him seemed far away from him.
At this time, he only had one thought that was constantly tumbling in his mind -
How
Why did he suddenly disappear just after being promoted to the official wizard family? ?
Laura stood in a huge room made of countless brown and black vines, looking at the only narrow window above her head that could let in the sunlight, her face expressionless.
"How long are you going to lock me up?"
"That's up to you, Laura."
Another woman's voice sounded in the room, it sounded more mature than Laura, full of magnetism, like the rustling of vine leaves in the wind.
"What did I do wrong?"
Laura's expression suddenly became ferocious, and green runes loomed on her palm-sized fair face, "Is it wrong for me to avenge my dead husband?"
She yelled in one direction, "You don't even believe me?!"
"I believe it."
The voice said calmly, "The failure of the magic experiment made you and Faao's souls accidentally connected.
It is normal for you to have some premonitions about his death that ordinary people cannot understand. "
"Then let me out now! Let me kill that despicable insect pretending to be innocent with my own hands!"
"Stop this, Laura!"
The woman’s voice suppressed Laura’s hysteria, and she said with a hint of boredom and exhaustion, “This accident has caused too much trouble.
The combination of you and Fao is like child's play. There is no relationship between you and him at all, and you are not a real couple at all.
All you have for him is a deformed desire for control and possessiveness born out of a wrong bond. Have you forgotten that in the earliest days, he was the person you hated the most in the entire academy? Even breathing the air in the same area as him will make you feel dirty and disgusting.
Because of you, a large number of innocent people have died in the past few years, and the voice of dissatisfaction with you in the academy has become loud, even if I, as the academy, However, this cannot be completely ignored.
Let this end here.
It’s the best outcome for you and for everyone. "
"wrong!"
Laura listened to the woman's comforting voice and suddenly woke up at a certain point, "You hope everything ends here. This is the result you want to see most, right?
You already know who the real owner of the Corpse Garden is! It was you who deliberately arranged for Faao to lead the team! You did something to him
You knew Faao would die, no matter whose hands he died."
The more Laura spoke, the more excited she became, and in the end she turned into a loud question: "Answer me, is that right?!"
The rustle of the vine leaves in the wind stopped for a while, and a moment later, the woman's voice sounded again, but this time there was much less emotion, and it became calm and indifferent.
"It seems that even if Fao dies and the connection between you and him is completely severed, it will still take some time for the mark left on you to dissipate."
"Shut up!"
Laura yelled to interrupt the woman's words. She released extremely powerful mental power fluctuations all over her body. The dense green runes on her face completely lit up. Her long seaweed-like hair was flying, and her whole body was gradually suspended in the air.
"I'm asking you one last time, will you let me out?"
"I want to avenge Faao! Anyone who wants to get close to him or hurt him will die!"
Laura's eyes were filled with coldness, distortion, and almost pathological paranoia. Her outburst did not receive any response, only the small window above her head that let in the skylight kept closing.
"ah!!"
Thick and spiked vines sprouted from Laura's back, attacking everything in sight with a vent of madness.
After she continued to attack for a while
"Boom!"
The room she was in suddenly shook violently, as if it would collapse and crack at any time.
This actually made Laura herself stunned for a moment, and an unexpected expression emerged.
The next second, the entire prison-like room actually began to disintegrate. A leaf shining with golden light flew quickly towards Laura, and she subconsciously grabbed it in her hand.
"Get out of here, Laura! No matter what you want to do, remember one thing - get out of here right now, right away, as far away as possible!"
The previously silent woman's voice sounded again, but this time it was solemn and urgent that Laura had never remembered before.
Laura watched in astonishment as the vines that imprisoned her were quickly pulled away, and then flew overhead with a roar.
The skylight outside completely leaked in, but it was as scarlet as blood.
Chaos and noisy sounds followed, and Laura soon saw with a moved expression the thick blood-red clouds in the sky that blocked the sun, and the familiar dark green figure that had collided with the blood-red.
The sudden freedom, as well as the crisis and chaos without warning, made Laura temporarily unable to find the direction of what to do next.
But soon, the madness and paranoia that had briefly subsided returned again.
Laura's eyes became firm, with strong resentment and murderous intent emerging from her eyes. She locked in a direction based on her intuition, and with a low roar, she turned into a blurry green shadow and quickly disappeared into the sky.
"Despicable bugs deserve to die!"
At the same time, in the chaotic academy, two figures suddenly shook their bodies and looked up at the sky. As if receiving some instructions, they abandoned the battlefield without hesitation and chased after Laura's retreating back.
"Is the Key to Nirvana worthy of a humble country wizard like you?"
"Get out!" "Boom!——"
The scarlet blood cloud covering the sky and the dark green vines like giant pythons collided fiercely. Countless vines tore and stirred in the blood cloud, and the energy aftermath of the collision of spells whipped around like a huge whip. On the ground, large cracks were opened, violent hurricanes were set off, explosions and angry screams of women came one after another.
Ronan looked at the terrifying and world-destroying scene in front of him, and his scalp was numb. Without hesitation, he turned around and ran quickly away from the battle group.
This is a battle between powerful wizards of a higher level. Even if he is now a first-level official wizard, he is not qualified to participate.
In fact, Ronan had already seen several official wizards of the academy fall under the scarlet blood cloud that blasted through the rune circle.
Not only is there a mysterious person who controls the scarlet blood cloud, there are also a large number of formal wizard-level black robes pouring in. Fighting and battles are happening everywhere. At present, the entire academy has been reduced to a battlefield.
"Stay away from the chaos first. Center, wait until the situation calms down before you consider whether to come back."
As Ronan ran, thoughts were racing through his mind.
He had no intention of "overcoming difficulties together" with the academy. He had just been promoted and had not learned even a single first-level spell. In this state, it would be unwise to join a formal wizard-level melee.
And he himself has no sense of belonging to the academy.
Hoddam Academy has always stood above all low-level wizards with a detached attitude. They regard wandering wizards as cannon fodder and drive them like cattle and horses. After joining the academy, Ronan was ignored all the way because of his qualifications.
As he once said, he joined the academy just for the inheritance of becoming an official wizard.
But he hasn't even gotten this inheritance yet, and you still want him to live and die with the academy and fight for the academy?
Go crazy.
Ronan ran quickly on the ground, his black robe and long gray hair flying behind him.
The rune circle above the academy shattered, and the fog that shrouded the academy also dissipated. Ronan left the academy and saw that the urban area outside was also in chaos, but there was no sign of black robes, just wandering gray robes. Seeing the attack on the college, large-scale riots broke out due to panic.
Just like the chaotic night he experienced back then.
"Why did the Forest of Deathrattles suddenly launch a surprise attack on the academy?
Since he has the ability to directly destroy the magic circle and attack Huanglong, how can this battle continue for half a year? "
"Also, what is the key to nirvana?"
Many doubts flashed through Ronan's mind, but no one could answer them for him at this time, and he had no time to find anyone to answer them.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Ronan quickly walked into a small, empty house.
Inside, he hurriedly took off his college-style robe and put on the most ordinary gray robe, then disguised himself as a wandering wizard and walked out, trying to blend in with the fleeing crowd and leave the town.
But before taking two steps, Ronan noticed something was wrong.
The area around him was empty. Everyone would rather squeeze together than get too close to him. They all deliberately walked around him with expressions of fear or awe.
"You're stupid!"
Only then did Ronan realize the powerful mental fluctuations naturally emitting from his body all the time.
It's like a shark suddenly swooped into a school of sardines. It's a ghost if you can hide it.
With his eyes flashing, Ronan quickly took out a piece of magic tool similar to a broken mirror from his storage bag, and casually took a photo of it at a fourth-level wandering wizard next to him, replicating the opponent's strength.
The aura of a formal wizard-level powerhouse was quickly masked by the effects of the magic tools. This time, the situation was much better. Ronan rushed into the crowd in a few steps and quickly blended in.
"call--"
A hurried figure quickly passed over the crowd, and the power it carried caused the fleeing people below to look up.
"He is the official wizard of the academy."
Ronan, who was mixed in the crowd, looked at the figure quickly disappearing in the sky, his eyes slightly relaxed.
He was relieved to see that he was not the only official wizard from the academy to run away.
But before Ronan could relax for a while, another figure exuding a formal wizard-level aura quickly passed by in the sky.
This figure brought with it a strong smell of blood as it passed by, and casually threw a spell similar to a blood ball downwards.
The spell exploded in the dense crowd, causing a scream and howl.
When the latter saw the miserable state of the crowd below, they laughed and walked away.
"It's the incoming black robe!"
Ronan gritted his teeth gently.
This later black robe was obviously to hunt down the academy wizard who had escaped before.
It seems that being in a whirlpool, it is not easy to completely break away from the battle group.
Fortunately, he had just been promoted to the first level, and he chose to escape promptly and decisively, otherwise he might have been targeted
Thinking about this, Ronan quickly walked through the crowd with a cold face, and left the town after a while. In the wilderness where countless black spots were running around like anthills collapsing, I randomly found a direction with relatively few people and ran forward at full speed.
After completing the expert-level proficiency of [Ascetic Body Training], although he looks much older on the outside, his body is still strong, even far stronger than before.
The thin body quickly moved like a high-precision and complex machine, pushing him forward at an astonishing speed, directly setting off a long mud wave in the wilderness. If an uninformed person saw it, they might think it was What kind of earth spell was cast?
As he ran, Ronan felt more and more clearly the powerful vitality in his body that was contained but difficult to release. It was conceived in his limbs and bones. He always wanted to break free, but was firmly locked by something and could not be completely released. come out.
Ronan ran to the edge of the wilderness, entered the forest, and ran for a while until he felt that he was completely out of danger, and then he stopped.
Stand in an open and higher position and look in the direction you came from.
Ronan saw that a large thick cloud of blood was suspended in the sky of Hoddam College at this time. It seemed to be bigger than before, and there were lightning-like blood lights falling down from the cloud.
The dark green color belonging to the president of Hoddam College was almost invisible.
It can be seen that in this higher-level battle between powerful wizards, the incoming black-robed wizard clearly has the upper hand.
Ronan's heart was heavy, not because he was worried about the academy, but because he was a little confused about where to go in the future.
If he has obtained the inheritance of first-level spells and soul sigils, it doesn't matter if he just leaves.
But the goddess of fate seemed to like to play tricks on him, and she chose this moment to let the disaster come, even if it was three or five days later.
Grace under the blue roof, what a kind and warm-hearted little girl.
Ronan was so confused that he withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at the college.
I continued walking aimlessly into the forest, thinking about where to go and spend some time next.
It's safe enough, and it's also easy to understand the battle situation at the academy
Suddenly, Ronan's steps stopped.
The wind blew through the forest and the leaves rustled.
Ronan slowly raised his head and saw dozens of meters away in front of him, a young man wearing a black robe and holding a short staff, quietly suspended in the air, looking down at him with interest.
"So, even though you were careful enough... did you still end up being targeted?"
Ronan murmured in his mouth, a few scattered white hairs on his temples were blown up by the wind, and his expression gradually calmed down.
