Chapter 28 This is the wizard’s law!
"Teacher Lucian..." Carly clenched her hands tightly at this time, and her nails were slightly embedded in her flesh.
"He was originally here for me." Lucian comforted him, turned to look at Apollo, and smiled at the latter.
To be honest, Lucian was a little worried just now that this guy would faint at the critical moment.
Apollo looked cold and said nothing.
If given the chance, he would never let go of using his treasure to kill Lucian later.
Lucian didn't pay attention to the other party's expression, but turned his attention to the system panel. At this time, on the right side of the Torch Technique, there were also three upgrade directions for Lucian to choose from.
Attack power, reduce mental energy consumption, and increase casting distance.
"Attack power." Lucian glanced at Apollo not far away and chose the first option without hesitation.
boom--
Countless fragments of knowledge poured into Lucian's mind, and the instant impact made Lucian's body shake slightly.
"Mentor!" Carly was surprised, but Apollo on the side was overjoyed.
In his opinion, Lucian's symptoms at this time were clearly due to his injuries being forcibly suppressed, and they had not fully recovered yet.
Even Apollo had some doubts, whether Lucian's tough side just now was deliberately deceiving him, making him flinch, so as to defraud him of the precious magic equipment.
Thinking of this, Apollo sneered in his heart, but also felt a little more thankful.
After all, at a certain moment just now, he was almost fooled by Lucian.
…
The news that Lucian and Apollo were about to fight to the death soon spread.
Many second-level wizard apprentices, and even many third-level wizard apprentices, are very interested in this life and death battle.
After all, one of the opponents was a well-known "patient" within the academy, one who was remembered by many people.
The reason why there is no movement is just that greed and caution are still at war.
At this time, there was a chance to get a glimpse of Lucian's strength, and many people gathered over.
If Lucian showed any weakness in the battle, even if he paid the price and surrendered in a life-and-death battle to save his life, what awaited him would be a group of greedy wolves who wanted to tear him apart.
Similarly, if Apollo is seriously injured in this battle, he may become the next Lucian!
The battle is in the morning.
And when the sun came out, the sunlight shone on the interior of Ashes College, giving this wizarding college that usually looked a little gloomy a touch of warmth.
Lucian was in an unusually calm mood at this time, as if what he was about to experience was not a life and death battle, but an ordinary teaching.
Carly sat obediently on the side. She really wanted to help Lucian, but there was no way, so she seemed a little uneasy and hesitant at this time.
"Okay, I'm going up." At this time, Lucian gently shook Carly's hand.
Carly raised her head and tried to make her expression look calmer. She didn't want to affect the battle that Master Lucian was waiting for because of her own reasons.
"Please pay attention later, you have not yet fully developed the witchcraft model of Blazing Fire!" Lucian smiled gently, and then rubbed Carly's little head.
Carly was stunned for a moment, and when Lucian had left the small temporary resting room, she followed him out with some hesitation.
At this time, many wizard apprentices had gathered outside the venue for the life-and-death duel.
They all stared at the two people on the stage silently, and many of the wizard apprentices had a different kind of brilliance in their eyes.
Yellen was also among the crowd watching at this time, wearing a hood to hide her identity. Next to him was Norian, who was dressed somewhat similarly to him.
At this time, he was standing on tiptoes slightly, staring at the two wizard apprentices in the venue, with a hint of madness on his pale face. "Die! Die!" Yellen shouted in her heart. If there was anyone here besides Apollo who wanted Lucian to die the most, it might be him.
He was extremely eager, looking forward to Lucian being pierced through the head with a spear under Apollo's special short spear!
"Teacher Lucian..." On the other side, Carly's eyes were also full of expectations.
She hoped that mentor Lucian could survive and transform a new wizarding world like he said.
"You are seeking death on your own." There was a hint of madness in Apollo's eyes. He found a special short spear in an adventure before, but he said it was a short spear, but in fact he knew that it was part of a broken long spear.
This broken gun was incredibly powerful, but it also had a problem that he had never exposed.
That is, every time it is used, it will cause irreparable damage to the broken gun.
Therefore, Apollo was unwilling to use this special witchcraft tool that he regarded as a treasure unless it was absolutely necessary. But today, he planned to use up a precious opportunity to kill Lucian on the battlefield!
Lucian looked at Apollo indifferently, but did not say a word, ignoring Apollo's trash talk.
He has thought of a fighting method that can shock others. So he was waiting, waiting for the battle to officially begin.
At this time, the two people were twenty-five meters apart, facing each other from a distance.
This is also a relatively safe distance. Even if some remote witchcraft is used to make a sudden attack, there will still be a certain reaction time. But for Lucian, this distance is not too far.
"The battle... begins!" A third-level wizard apprentice from the Gray Bones Academy patrol waved his hand.
Lucian's right hand gently patted a "pendant" hanging on his waist. Immediately, this simple witchcraft tool made of bat pituitary gland as the main material began to vibrate slightly, and while vibrating, it emitted a sound that was difficult for human ears to hear. Captured ultrasound.
On the other side, a short spear appeared in Apollo's hand. He raised the short spear and made a throwing motion. It was just a simple accumulation of power, but at this time, it had activated countless runes on the broken spear, causing terrifying thunder and lightning to begin to accumulate on the broken spear.
Thunder and lightning continued to accumulate and were gathered at a point on the tip of the spear, and exuded a terrifying aura.
This is a force powerful enough to kill a third-level wizard apprentice! And this is because the spear itself is incomplete and broken. If it were a complete spear, according to Apollo's estimation, it could even threaten or even kill an official wizard!
"Die!" Apollo had a trace of bloodlust in his eyes.
But the next moment, he was horrified to feel that the temperature around him began to rise rapidly!
Whew - Almost instantly, a special kind of blue-purple flame enveloped Apollo, turning him into a veritable pyro.
"Ah..." Apollo screamed in the flames. Although the moment he was ignited by the flames, a disposable witchcraft tool used to save his life formed a protective shield on the surface of his body. This special flame was still burning, and even though he was protected, he felt unbearable heat.
Apollo was a little confused at this time. He had no idea how Lucian attacked. Moreover, why couldn't the wizard robe he was carrying protect him?
When did he launch the attack?
Also, what kind of witchcraft is this? ! !
But the next moment, Apollo knew that he was on the verge of death, because his means of protection were running low under the constant burning of the flames.
He looked at the referee on the side in panic, wanting to ask for help, but the next moment, his protection method had failed and the shield was broken. Let him only use his own mental strength to resist! At this time, it was difficult for him to speak, and he could only stagger forward two steps.
Bah--in less than two seconds, the protective layer composed of mental power shattered. This terrifying blue-purple flame also directly ignited his body.
Under the burning of this blue-purple flame, Apollo wanted to say something, but under the rapid burning of the flame, he could no longer stand still, staggered and fell to the ground.
Lucian looked indifferently at Apollo who was gradually being swallowed up by the flames.
Although the look in his eyes that looked like he was asking for help before he died made his heart tremble, this tremor was soon suppressed by Lucian.
The weak eat the strong!
This is the wizard's law!
If he was weak today, would Apollo let him go?
Lucian let out a breath, and then watched in silence as Apollo's body gradually curled up under the burning flames, and black smoke emitted.
I saw a book friend in the comment area asking why it was a second-level wizard apprentice who came to the door instead of a third-level wizard apprentice. Here is a brief explanation.
When I design a villain, I always give the villain a slight driving force. That is to say, they will not be allowed to "get slapped in the face" without thinking, but they will become enemies of the protagonist for profit or because of hatred.
Apollo is the wizard's apprentice who covets the protagonist's wealth. However, considering that the protagonist's accumulation has been basically exhausted, for rational wizards, the protagonist's appeal to third-level wizard apprentices is limited. Only the outstanding ones at a lower level than the protagonist will take risks because of interests. "Take your first bite of crab."
This will be more logically reasonable. Of course, this is also because the protagonist is now considered to be in a "critically ill" state in the eyes of other wizards, so it gives others a misjudgment. After that, the protagonist will face more opponents of the same level or opponents of a higher level.
