Cronus looked ugly. The situation was already at a disadvantage. Facing two third-level wizards at the same time, even the master of [Skull Castle] could not take advantage, not to mention that the most terrifying dean of Phantom Crows had not yet appeared.
"Huh! That's it for today."
Waving his hand to release a mist of death, Cronus looked at Mitchell deeply, then slashed the wand in the air, instantly tearing a crack in the void.
"The matter is not over yet. If Otis doesn't hand over the [coordinates], then prepare for war!"
Cronus said a cruel word, and then it was easy for Mitchell to distance himself. The Infernal Bone Dragon that was fighting with Christina also spurted out a dragon's breath and plunged into the void crack.
"Want to leave? It's not that easy!" The flame giant roared and rushed forward.
However, at this time, Cronus and the Infernal Bone Dragon had entered the void crack. As the energy fluctuations gradually weakened, the void crack gradually healed without any delay.
In a moment, Cronus had disappeared.
"Damn it! Why didn't you stop him?" The flame giant jumped into the air and turned into normal size. Christina's red hair flew and she roared at Mitchell with an angry face.
"Forget it, Christina, it's impossible to really kill Cronus anyway."
Mitchell still looked lazy, spreading his hands helplessly and saying, "That guy has set up a witch formation in the Skeleton Castle. It's too easy to escape. The cost of cutting off the portal is too high. I don't want to suffer the pain of magic backlash."
"
"What? You coward!" Christina yelled angrily.
Mitchell shrugged, with an indifferent expression.
"Ahhh! Damn it! Damn it!" Christina went crazy for a while, looking at the space cracks that had long since disappeared in the sky, gritted her teeth and said, "It's decided! Even if I sell myself, I still have to make money to buy a space anchor!"
"Look, I will definitely kill Cronus next time!"
Mitchell opened his mouth, pretended not to hear Christina's words, and hid his money bag without leaving any trace.
...
Ten days later, order was restored in the college.
After experiencing the third-level wizard-level battle, the atmosphere in the Phantom Crows became extremely tense. Although it was unclear what happened specifically, the war between the three wizard organizations in the Shadow Realm seemed inevitable.
The official wizards in the academy personally took action to clean up all the foreign forces near the Mist Forest.
Fang Blood Shadow and Skeleton Castle also frequently launched actions. The major kingdoms controlled by the two wizard organizations took the lead in launching war on the territory under Crow Phantom. Countless mortals and knights were thrown into the battlefield like cannon fodder.
Inside the academy, on the top floor of the White Tower.
"Teacher, are you looking for me?"
That afternoon, Enzo received a summons from Gustave and came to the laboratory of the White Tower.
Gustave, who was sitting on a chair and dozing, heard the sound, slowly opened his eyelids, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes. He raised his head, turned his gaze to Enzo, and got straight to the point.
"You must have heard about what happened in the Kingdom of Roland recently, right?"
Enzo nodded and asked hesitantly, "Is it about the death of wizard Adolf? I received some information, but I don't know how authentic it is."
Three days ago, news came from the outside world.
The official wizard of Phantom Crows and the guardian of the Kingdom of Roland, Adolf, was ambushed by three wizards from Skull Castle while escorting a group of troops to the battlefield, and eventually fell at the border of the kingdom.
"I have received notification from the college that the news is true." Gustav said solemnly.
Enzo's heart tightened. Although he had been prepared for it, he was still surprised when it was confirmed that an official wizard had died on the battlefield, and he couldn't help but feel a haze in his heart.
"Has a wizard already died in ten days?"
Enzo frowned and asked with an ugly face: "Mentor, according to the normal war process, shouldn't it be a confrontation between secular kingdoms during this time period?"
In the history of the Dark Realm, this is not the first war between wizard organizations.
Almost every hundred years, the three major forces would get into disputes over various things, but the situation was usually under control. Most of the people who died were mortals and knights from the secular kingdom, and few wizards died.
This seems to be related to the code of the wizarding world, and the three major wizarding organizations are bound by it!
This time, however, things seem to be a little different.
"This war is different from the past." Gustave shook his head and said solemnly: "I can't explain the specific reasons to you, but there is one thing you need to understand, that is, for apprentices, this war
, extremely dangerous!”
After saying that, Gustave took a deep breath.
"Now I can give you two choices."
"1. Continue to stay in the academy. There is a high probability that you will be sent to the battlefield next. I will try my best to ensure your safety, but I can only do my best! 2. Leave the academy while the Mist Forest is not closed yet.
, I can use my connections to arrange a mission for you to escape from the war and go out to escape!"
Enzo's heart skipped a beat and he raised his head suddenly.
Gustave looked calm, waiting for his disciple's choice.
There are two roads in front of him. Enzo's thinking is particularly clear. The first choice is to stay in the academy and wait for orders. Although war is cruel, it also represents opportunities. It is easiest to become strong in the training of blood and fire, but the price is high.
It's the possibility of dying at any time.
You know, this war is different from the past!
Even a formal wizard would perish, let alone a small second-level apprentice. Even with Gustav's protection, Enzo was not sure whether he could survive on the battlefield.
The second road is much safer.
Leaving the academy and staying away from the whirlpool of war may lead to missed opportunities, but at least life can be guaranteed. For someone like Enzo who strives for steady victory, it seems to be a good choice.
"Teacher, can you send me out of the Forest of Mist?"
Enzo rejected the first option in his heart, so he hesitated and asked.
The mission office of the academy was sealed when the war came. Now most missions have been banned. The missions that apprentices can take are all related to the war. Although the rewards are generous, the mortality rate is also frighteningly high.
"I have been a member of Phantom Crows for so many years. Although I am not very sociable, I have also accumulated some connections."
Gustav nodded slightly and said softly, "I can still send an apprentice away before the formal martial law in the Mist Forest."
"In this case, please ask the instructor to send me out of the academy." After thinking for a moment, Enzo said.
