A few scattered Fireball Spell or Shadow Arrow were fired at Saine.

Some newly summoned Skeleton Warrior also sluggishly charged toward Saine.

Compared to the large-scale Sun's Eye Magic Saine had prepared for a long time, these apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower could only hastily release these low-level spells with shorter casting times to deal with it.

Fireball Spell and Shadow Arrow clanged as they struck Saine's Earth Elemental shield.

Before the Skeleton Warrior could even charge in, Saine unleashed his Sun's Eye Magic in a terrifying display.

The six golden beams of light represent the harvesting of weak lives!

Take that black-robed old apprentice as an example. This guy was clearly quite strong. In addition to summoning a mountain of flesh, he also had a layer of Dark Energy Shield on his body for defense.

However, when faced with Saine's Sun's Eye Magic, the old man's Energy Shield only lasted for three seconds before being pierced and torn apart by Saine's Sun's Eye Magic.

The old man had already grasped the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Badge, but unfortunately, before he could activate it, a beam of the Sun's Eye pierced through his head, and another beam went straight through his heart.

To target this formidable old man, Saine redirected two beams of his Sun's Eye towards him.

Apart from the old man in black robes, Saine's remaining four Sun's Eye each had a specific target.

Two of the beams shot towards the two other Quasi-Magician beside the old man, while the other two were aimed at the Advanced Apprentice closest to Saine. →

Actually, there is another Quasi-Magician in the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower, but that Quasi-Magician is not here, but in the area closer to where they are fighting those otherworldly plants.

Not much different from the old man in black robes, the other four apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower also perished when faced with the sudden appearance of Saine.

Even though the apprentices were standing close together, Saine's Sun's Eye Magic, though a beam of light, was an area-of-effect spell with extremely strong penetrating power.

Including a dozen or so other apprentices who were nearby, they were either killed or injured by the lingering effects of the Sun's Eye rays.

In an instant, the apprentice ranks behind the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower erupted in wails.

The sudden deaths of three Quasi-Magician and two Advanced Apprentice, along with the injuries and Casualties of more than ten apprentices, have had an impact on the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower that extends far beyond what is currently happening.

With the three Quasi-Magician killed by Saine's single blow, the massive mountain of flesh on the Center Battlefield the basin fell with a pitiful cry.

With a roar, it instantly turned into pieces of flesh scattered all over the ground.

In an instant, the air in the entire Basin Battlefield was filled with the stench of blood.

Besides the near-ranked mountain of flesh, the two high-level black warriors also turned into a wisp of Black Qi and disappeared.

Not to mention, other Undead Creature such as ghosts, zombies, and Skeleton Warrior also disappeared and fell on the battlefield.

The reason for this situation is that these Necromancy Element creatures were not created through real-world cultivation. →

Instead, they were summoned from another world by apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower.

Just as Saine couldn't bring Little Seven into the Trial Space to participate in the battle, the only helpers that the apprentices could use were those beings summoned by magic.

With the death of the summoner, these Undead Creature, having lost their source of power, will naturally vanish instantly.

Of course, it is possible that some powerful summoned creatures may still exist in the present space after the summoner dies, but obviously these powerful summoned creatures are not something that the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower can summon at this stage.

Without the apprentices' Magic Power supply, these lower-level Undead Creature, even powerful quasi-undead like the Mountain of Flesh, would eventually turn into a useless, foul-smelling pile of flesh and blood.

The deaths of several high-level apprentices, and the collapse of the main front-line tanks, have had a deeper impact on the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower on the Basin Battlefield than imagined.

The Plant Monstrosity that was fighting the Mountain of Flesh clearly showed a brief moment of disorientation after the Mountain of Flesh collapsed.

With its simplistic thinking, it doesn't understand what exactly happened.

The quasi-strata Vine Creature at the other end of the basin were more intelligent and reacted faster.

The vines that stretched to every corner of the basin trembled once more.

This time, inspired and commanded by this quasi-rank vine, the otherworldly plants, who had previously been suppressed by the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower, launched a fierce counterattack.

Without three high-quality front-line tanks, the weak Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices, relying solely on low- to mid-level zombies and skeletons, were clearly struggling against the counterattack of the otherworldly plants.

In particular, Undead Creature like ghosts don't seem to be very effective against these otherworldly plants.

Just now, amidst a sea of advantages, it wasn't particularly noticeable.

Now, when these undead summons are needed to fend off the backlash from the otherworldly plants, the shortcomings of summons like ghosts are discovered.

The chaos that followed the sudden turn of events unfolded.

Although there are many apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower in the basin, without unified command and reliable front-line tanks, the apprentices' inexperience and panic become increasingly apparent.

These are ultimately just a bunch of little guys who haven't experienced the baptism of Plane War yet.

On the contrary, those exotic plants, although captured and thrown into the Trial Space, were provided to the apprentices as objects of training.

But as Plant Legion that had experienced the World Extinction War of the Mother Plane, despite their small numbers, they still charged forward without hesitation after spotting the opportunity.

Of course, this is also because the various Holy Tower carefully selected those otherworldly slaves before waging the Regional Academy War.

Those spineless cowards who have been terrified by the powerful armies of the Wizard Civilization will not be thrown into the Trial Space at all.

Because this would defeat the purpose of training all the Holy Tower apprentices.

The chaos at the front has already begun, and the chaos at the rear is not yet over.

After Saine swiftly annihilated five high-level apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower, his slaughter of the other apprentices around him continued.

The six golden eyes surrounding Saine did not disappear immediately after releasing a single ray.

Through Saine's continuous improvements and years of research, the Sun's Eye Magic can now be cast in six rounds.

The golden rays that tore everything apart made Saine, standing behind the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices, appear like a golden God of Slaughter descending from the sky.

In addition to the Sun's Eye Magic, Saine can also unleash a barrage of spells on the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentice, including Flame Blade, Violent Fireball, and Scorching Ray.

When the six rounds of the Sun's Eye Magic were released, that is, when all thirty-six golden beams were unleashed upon the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower,

At this point, the rear lines of the basin had been reduced to a desolate ruin.

Cries of agony rose and fell. Although some apprentices managed to escape the Trial Space by activating their badges, many more fell victim to Saine's sudden attack.

In this battle alone, more than fifty apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower either died or fled to the hands of Saine.

The points have increased so much, I haven't even had time to check them yet.

Saine himself was panting heavily; the large amount of Magic Power and Mental Strength consumed was also a considerable burden for him.
