The scene was chaotic, and the breeze stopped.
“I originally wanted to secretly capture you, you evil genius, and study you properly.” Nathan Adams seemed to smile smugly as though in victory. “Unfortunately, after that incident in the castle, I can’t keep you any longer.”
Only then did Marcus realize that Nathan’s tone was similar to that of that old woman who had led the way!
Nathan did not continue to indulge in his fantasies anymore. He immediately waved his cane and said, “Puppets, attack!”
The remaining puppets’ necks had long been protected by heavy metal rings.
After hearing the order, their eyes turned scarlet. They opened their mouths that reeked with decay, and while making hoarse noises, they crawled towards them one after another!
“Marcus, run now,” Sonny continued.
Even Wheeler chimed in, “Yes, Marcus, go!”
“Sonny, Wheeler! I, Marcus, am not here just for the money. Anyway, we’re friends!”
Marcus seemed to be risking his life by using all his magic to throw at them, but it was useless.
“Yes, it’s useless, useless, useless!” Nathan cackled loudly. “You are already mine. Soon, you will be eaten by them, every part of you!”
[Earth Shield Spell is already at level-10!]
At that critical moment, the Earth Shield spell achieved the top level which was level-10!
“What a relief, but…”
Marcus had never used it to attack, only to defend.
The quote from the dream of fear suddenly appeared in his mind!
“The strength of the magic depends on how much magic power you have, and what you use the magic for depends on your imagination…”
After recalling that, Marcus suddenly had an epiphany.
“As strong as a rock, Earth Shield Spell, rise!”
The earth quaked and the mountains shook. As the distant fishing ground convulsed, waves swelled.
Layers of earth thorns began to appear around Marcus.
The birds and beasts around him thought that it was an earthquake, so they began to flee in all directions.
Countless earth shield walls with thorns emerged from the ground.
The earth spikes pierced through the puppets mercilessly.
Nathan could not believe it. He thought that this kid’s trump card was a fusion spell. He did not expect his trump card to actually be a level-10 Earth Shield Spell!
There was actually such a big shot hidden in this small academy!
“But this is more than you can take!” Nathan suddenly cast a large surge of black magic.
At that moment, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled!
“A level-10 Earth Shield Spell? Let me see if you can block my level-10 Thunderstorm Spell. Thunderstorm Spell!” Nathan roared hoarsely.
Suddenly, the surrounding city walls obstructed the thunderstorm.
It was another level-10 Earth Shield spell!
Then, the city walls collapsed, but Marcus still stood erect in front of them.
The summer wind blew across Marcus’s forehead which was covered in cold sweat.
[Wind Blade Spell has reached level-10. You have achieved stealth mastery!]
As the wind swept across the lands, thunder rumbled angrily!
After taking a deep breath, Marcus tensed his body and gritted his teeth.
He was ready to use the spell that contained a high concentration of magic power again.
“Stealthy Wind Blade Spell!”
He did not know how many times he had used such a powerful spell today.
It was so exhausting.
Nevertheless, everything was worth it!
A green light slowly emerged from the darkness.
“May the God of magic bless us…”
At this moment, Wheeler, who was hugging his head and squinting his eyes, suddenly felt a warm gust of strong wind.
No, more accurately, he felt hope!
“It really is the arrival of the gods…”
Sonny did not care about Wheeler. Instead, he stared blankly at Marcus who was exhausted after having accumulated so much power.
“A level-7 intermediate mage! How terrifying! He doesn’t look like a level-7 at all!”
The pitch-black night was tainted by the evil spirits.
The Stealthy Wind Blade Spell had dispelled all the resentment in the world and purified the land!
“The filthy things must be buried deep underground!”
Nathan, who was still unconvinced, could not see any moves clearly before he was killed by Marcus’s powerful spell!
Only Nathan’s body remained at the scene.
Marcus and the others had already left!
Nathan knew how fast the Stealthy Wind Blade Spell was, but he just could not dodge it.
The surroundings became quiet again.
The slight summer wind stirred up the waves on the surface of the sea again.
After this incident, the Durant family had a different view of this student, Marcus.
The original 4,000 gold coins that they wanted to give Marcus were upped to 6,000 gold coins.
Marcus wanted to save these gold coins because in the future, he would have to go to the black market to buy some potion formulas.
He had successfully solved the academy’s hidden black mage and the serial killings in the fishing grounds.
Marcus’s strength was already that of a level-10 intermediate mage. He was only one step away from becoming an advanced mage!
“System!”
[Host: Marcus
Realm: Level-10 intermediate magician ]
[Skills:-
Grand Fireball: Level-10 (Progress 1%)
Wind Blade: Level-10 (Progress 1%)
Shadow Flash: Level-8 (Progress 23%)
Earth Shield: Level-10 (Progress 1%)]
[Heart of Nightmare (passive): Level-1 (Progress 40%)]
The Grand Fireball, Wind Blade, and Earth Shield Spells were slowly growing every day, and it was impossible to force them to advance any further.
The breakthrough this time was too difficult.
He might need to try his luck, then perhaps he could break through.
“All mages yearn to advance from intermediate to advanced level.”
Marcus knew that magic power was the key and also the source of his strength.
He had to become an advanced mage as soon as possible. Only then could he obtain more benefits and practice resources.
According to the legends, the academy had several rare potions that could permanently increase one’s magic power.
Drinking a bottle of potion would not only stabilize one’s strength but also make one more powerful.
However, obtaining those potions required too many academic credits.
Currently, only the Shadow Flash Spell had not accomplished level-10.
It seemed that if Marcus wanted to break through to become a high-level mage, he would need to put in some effort into this.
Although he had thought of countless methods in his mind, there was only one safe and fast way.
“I’d better ask the instructors and seniors to guide me.”
In the academy, most people were discussing Marcus’s matter.
“Marcus, the academy has given you 50,000 credits on your credit card,” a tutor told him, “Thank you for your contribution to the academy!”
50,000 credits could be converted into 5000 gold coins!
Although he deserved it, Marcus felt that today would not have been possible if Lady Luck had not been on his side.
“Sir, I got it! I will definitely continue to work hard!”
“Mm.” The tutor expressed his gratification.
“Oh, right, sir, I have encountered a bottleneck in my practice recently. Do you have any tutors who have had time recently?”
“I’m afraid not. You can go to the academy’s mission board to announce your mission first. The other senior students can guide you too, can’t they?”
Now, with 50,000 credits in his hand, given how generous the reward would be, there would definitely be capable people lining up to assist him!
Marcus nodded and decided to announce the mission on the mission board.
