Hunting Hour

In the Trial Space.

Saine stared at the two corpses of Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices before him, and fell silent for a moment.

It turns out that magic apprentices can sometimes be easier to deal with than otherworldly creatures.

The main reason was that these apprentices had not experienced much blood and fire, and when faced with Saine's sudden appearance and unparalleled demeanor, they did not even put up a decent resistance.

After entering the area of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Academy, Saine soon encountered three Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices.

The apprentice badges of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower are black, and it is said that most of the apprentices in this Holy Tower study dark magic and Necromancy Element.

This is also related to the fact that the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower is more attractive to Formal Magician of these two schools.

Three apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower: one advanced and two intermediate.

Faced with Saine's sudden appearance and attack, apart from the Advanced Apprentice, after a brief resistance, decisively activated his badge and escaped the Trial Space, the other two Intermediate Apprentice couldn't even muster any means to escape.

Of course, this is also related to Saine's personality.

Whether in action or in battle, Saine is almost never willing to hold back.

This is the Regional Holy Tower Academy War, which results in a large number of apprentices being lost every year; it is no child's play.

Many apprentices may not be able to adjust to their new state at first after entering the Trial Space.

But this absolutely does not include Saine.

The High-Level Magic Item, the Invisibility Cloak, is a very useful piece of equipment. →69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼

While Saine is quite confident in his abilities, he is not arrogant.

Upon entering the extremely unfamiliar Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Region, Saine put this magical equipment to use.

In apprentice-to-apprentice combat, especially in unexpected ambushes, this equipment is more useful than one might expect.

The deaths of the two Intermediate Apprentice of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower did not cause any psychological burden to Saine.

This was a matter of killing and being killed, and when Saine arrived at the Dark Shadow Academy's territory, he had already prepared for the worst.

The deaths of these two apprentices can only be attributed to their own lack of skill and bad luck.

After a brief silence, Saine began to sort through his Spoils of War.

Two of the three apprentices died and one escaped, bringing Saine a total of over 500 points.

All of this demonstrates that killing is indeed the fastest way to gain points.

In addition, Saine also found two Space Ring on the corpses of the two apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower.

Besides some miscellaneous items and Energy Crystal, what particularly caught Saine's attention in the ring were several special resources from the Trial Space.

"It seems there are several resource points nearby, but I wonder if any apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower are guarding them."

"What a pity, that Advanced Apprentice should have had even more good stuff, but he got away. "Saine sighed after taking stock of the Spoils of War.

After using Fireball Spell to dispose of the two apprentice corpses, Saine continued deeper into the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Region.

After entering the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Region, Saine's methods and frequency of obtaining points obviously increased significantly.

However, Saine did not target the most numerous apprentices below the lowest level, and sometimes he even spared the Intermediate Apprentice.

Those targeted by Saine are mostly apprentices at the advanced level or above.

It's not that Saine cares about the weak; he's not that kind.

The main problem is that the lower-level apprentices are weak, and the Regional War has only been going on for a month, so their total points are very low.

After encountering and hunting down several low-level apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower, Saine stopped attacking these ants.

After putting in so much effort, you only get a few points, or maybe ten or so. What is the point of Saine?

Saine's Mental Strength and Magic Power power is not inexhaustible, and those low-level apprentices can also escape danger in time by activating their medals.

Instead of wasting his energy on them, Saine should try to find a way to trick a few more Advanced Apprentice of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower.

At present, the points earned by a Advanced Apprentice are enough to be equivalent to those of dozens or even hundreds of junior apprentices.

Saine was a magician, so he naturally understood this.

As for those junior apprentices... well, let's just treat them like pigs.

The points acquisition rules in the Trial Space also provide a way for these weaker apprentices to gain points.

Just wait a year or two, and these mid- to low-level apprentices who earn points by guarding resource points will be ready to be "slaughtered".

This is probably why each Regional Holy Tower Academy War reaches its most intense and heated stage in the second year.

Like a calm and patient hunter, Saine roams throughout the various areas of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower.

Due to the shadow of darkness

The Holy Tower is stronger than the Azure Source Holy Tower Azure Source Holy Tower, including having more advanced apprentices.

Therefore, although Saine has temporarily spared those mid-level and low-level apprentices, he still has many prey to hunt.

Outside the Trial Space.

Johnny the Mage watched as Saine's total score kept jumping higher and higher, his face becoming numb.

Unbeknownst to Saine, he had already gained a small reputation among the Formal Magician of the Azure Source Holy Tower.

As Saine entered the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Region, his total score continued to rise.

In just one week, they jumped from ninth place on the overall leaderboard to fifth place.

The top five, or rather the top ten, on the overall points leaderboard are all the elites of their respective Holy Tower.

The reputations of these other genius apprentices of the Holy Tower were even known to Johnny, Formal Magician of the Azure Source Holy Tower.

For example, Gade, who is currently ranked first on the leaderboard, is the top student in the history of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower.

This time, Gade is leading the students of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower to participate in this Regional War, not only to ensure that the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower continues to hold the title of the highest total score.

He even made a bold statement beforehand, vowing to wash away the shame of the previous Regional War and win the crown of first place in the apprentice's overall points ranking.

(ps: In the previous Regional Holy Tower Academy War, the students of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower achieved the highest total score.)

However, on the apprentice individual points leaderboard, Martinez, the Peak Apprentice of the Thunder Radiance Holy Tower, took first place.

Not only Gade, but also almost all the top ten on the Apprentice Personal Points Ranking were names that Formal Magician were familiar with.

After all, gold always shines, and geniuses always attract attention.

The only name that stood out was that of Saine.

"Hopefully this little guy can maintain this momentum in gaining points. He should be considered the biggest dark horse in this Regional Holy Tower Academy War," a Formal Magician remarked in front of the points leaderboard.

The other Mage nodded in agreement.

Johnny took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "Kid, keep it up! If you can stay in the top ten, I'll give Midiqi that Otherworld Rainbow Fairy I've been keeping in the lab for so long."

"He gave our Azure Source Holy Tower a wonderful gift!"
