In a one-on-one fight, with a near-tier- Undead Behemoth like this assisting him, Saine might not be able to easily deal with the black-robed old apprentice. →69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼

This also shows how many geniuses and powerful individuals there are in the various Holy Tower.

Saine had previously earned a lot of points in the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Region, partly because he acted secretly and decisively, and partly because Saine had not yet encountered a true master.

The old apprentice in black robes before me should be considered among the experts.

That quasi-level Undead Flesh Mountain, apart from its relatively slow movement, doesn't seem to have any other weaknesses for the time being.

It has extremely high defense, strong vitality, and its attack power is not weak either.

As it strode heavily toward the otherworldly Plant Creature, a mid-level otherworldly plant blocking its path was cleaved in two by a single swing of its giant scythe.

With this high-quality Undead Flesh Mountain at the forefront, there were also twenty or thirty other Undead Creature of various shapes charging forward together.

The other apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower then began to calmly and steadily unleash their magic.

This was a textbook example of Large Resource Point attack and capture battle.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be a natural progression for the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower to acquire this Large Resource Point.

Although those otherworldly plant creatures were quite unique and extremely resilient.

However, after being bombarded with magic, the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower discovered that these plants were afraid of fire magic.

In particular, the Netherflame, which is generally mastered by the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower, seems to be even more effective at killing these Plant Creature.

Among the alien Plant Creature, two plants stand out.

Both plants exude the Power Aura of quasi-level creatures, one of which also possesses a strong physique several meters tall and resembles Treant in appearance.

It was this Treant who stepped forward and withstood the savage charge of the Undead Flesh Mountain.

The other quasi-strata plant, on the other hand, seems difficult to move; it appears in the very center of the basin's red soil.

Faced with the overwhelming magical attacks from the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower, this quasi-rank plant raised its emerald Green Vines to defend itself.

Although it is difficult to move, this guy's vines are incredibly flexible.

Judging from its ability to easily disperse Fireball Spell and Netherfire Ray flying from the sky, this quasi-tier plant doesn't seem to be afraid of fire.

This was a rather lively and grand large-scale melee.

It was about half an hour into the battle that Saine made his move.

He didn't come here to watch the game.

Within the basin, the smaller number of exotic plants are clearly in a weak and passive position.

Although he knew that each otherworldly plant should offer a considerable amount of points, Saine still needed to set his sights on the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower at this stage.

These otherworldly plants are actually allies of Saine.

Using the Invisibility Cloak, Saine quietly approached the direction where the old apprentice in black robes was.

The old apprentice in black robes seemed to be the strongest and most prestigious among the four Quasi-Magician present.

The entire battleground within the basin was fought under the constant command of this old man.

Of the other three Quasi-Magician, apart from one who seemed to be less skilled in summoning magic, the Undead Creature summoned by the other two were merely Black Knights comparable to high-ranking beings.

The old man summoned a mountain of flesh, which was quite remarkable.

After summoning the mountain of flesh, the old man also unleashed several medium and high-level Netherfire spells.

Even if he has the Mental Strength and Magic Power foundation of Quasi-Magician, his current state is probably almost completely depleted.

If we don't take action now, when will we?

Like a calm and patient hunter, Saine continued to move closer to the old man in black robes.

Thanks to the fact that all the apprentices in the basin were focused on the otherworldly plants in the Center Battlefield, no one noticed Saine's approach.

From an extremely long distance, it has been brought within a hundred meters.

After figuring out his target, Saine began to silently prepare his magic.

Saine currently possesses several coverage spells, but it seems that only the Sun's Eye can instantly inflict fatal damage on these apprentices in front of him.

It's important to know that Saine isn't the only one who possesses shield-type magic.

Some Advanced Apprentice who prioritize survival would expend a considerable amount of magic Magic Power to create a protective shield for themselves well before the battle even begins.

Taking advantage of the relatively chaotic energy elemental environment within the entire basin, Saine's Sun's Eye Magic initially went unnoticed by anyone.

Only the quasi-class vine in the center of the basin

The creeping plant seemed to sense something, its tiny branches trembling incessantly.

Besides expressing fear, another purpose is that this vine is conveying information to other Plant Creature in a special way that belongs to its kind.

Indeed, plant-based organisms are most sensitive to the power of fire and light, especially Light Element.

Many plants began to retreat intentionally, which in turn fueled the attacking Desire of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices.

Just as Saine's Sun's Eye Magic was about to take shape, the scorching Fire Element and dazzling Light Element finally could no longer be obscured by the Element Power in the surrounding environment.

"Who is it?!" A Advanced Apprentice of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower who was closest to Saine was the first to notice the anomaly.

Although the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower also offers courses on Fire Element, Light Element is a relatively unpopular element within the entire Holy Tower.

Such intense light Element Power could not possibly have been created by an apprentice of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower.

The Advanced Apprentice's angry rebuke also attracted the attention of the other apprentices around him.

However, it was already too late.

Saine's location has been revealed, he no longer conceals himself. The Invisibility Cloak doesn't provide complete invisibility; if you look closely, you can still see quite a few clues.

The Sun's Eye Magic has entered its final stage amidst Saine's rapid chanting.

Six dazzling golden eyeballs appeared beside Saine, leaving the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices, who were unaware of the situation, completely stunned by Saine's appearance.

Although the old apprentice in black robes didn't notice the anomaly as early as the Advanced Apprentice, he was the one who reacted the fastest.

"Stop him quickly! He's another Holy Tower apprentice!" the old apprentice shouted.

Unfortunately, too much of their Magic Power and Mental Strength was used on those otherworldly plants.

The Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices before him didn't have much energy left to launch an attack on Saine.

Most of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices were unaware of what had happened, as the anomaly occurred too quickly and not all of them were gathered together.

Apart from the elite group of apprentices around the old man, the vast majority of the other apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower formed a fan shape, surrounding the otherworldly plants in the center of the basin.

Some apprentices who were far away couldn't see Saine's side was happening at all.
