Fierce Reputation and Departure
Two months later.
Riding on Metal Discs, Saine flew through the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Region, continuing his search for "prey".
As Saine has been in the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Region for three months, his reputation has gradually spread throughout the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Region.
Titles like Golden Mask, Golden Devil, Slaughterer, and Executioner were given to him by the low-level apprentices in the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower.
During this period, there were more than one instance where senior apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower attempted to ambush and annihilate Saine.
However, all of these were detected in advance by Saine using Crystal Ball.
Not only did they evade the encirclement and attack of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices, but they also took advantage of the enemy's relaxation and isolation to once again unleash Blood Rain.
"Indeed, wisdom is the most important factor in determining the success or failure of Mage; strength is merely a superficial and secondary element." After a battle, Saine wiped the blood flowing from his arm and said calmly.
Before Saine lay the corpses of three apprentices from the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower: one a Quasi-Magician, and the other two Advanced Apprentice.
That Quasi-Magician, now a corpse, was the strongest apprentice Saine had encountered since entering the Trial Space.
In addition to being able to summon two Shadow Servant to provide assistance, the opponent's dark and shadow magic was also extremely troublesome.
Shadow magic is a new category of magic that Saine has come into contact with; it seems to be a branch or variant of dark magic.
This Quasi-Magician from the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower, Saine, did not know the other party's name.
If he hadn't had the advantage of a sneak attack and striking first, the outcome of a fair and square battle would have been uncertain.
Not to mention, there were two other Advanced Apprentice with him.
In fact, this Quasi-Magician Willis, and he is the current top talent in the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower competition.
His status and prestige are roughly equivalent to those of Dennis, who is ranked first on the Combat Power Ranking of the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy, and Anna, who is ranked second.
Willis, the Quasi-Magician, did not die unjustly, because he had come specifically for Saine.
After hearing that Saine had caused such a commotion in the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Region and killed "Necromancer" Kramp, ruining the capture of the Large Resource Point in Lanxi Grass.
As darkness
Willis, the top student at Shadow Holy Tower Academy, clearly wasn't going to let Saine off so easily.
Willis was behind and orchestrated the previous attacks by the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices against Saine.
Unfortunately, Willis was too arrogant.
He probably already guessed that Saine would be able to detect their encirclement in advance, so Willis only brought two Advanced Apprentice, trying to use himself as bait to lure Saine out.
Saine did appear, but Willis did not receive support from the other apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower.
Even more so because Willis's performance was so outstanding from the start, with two Shadow Servant and strange dark and shadow magic.
So much so that when Saine made his move, he immediately unleashed six Sun's Eye Magic, directly targeting his opponent, and then followed up with twelve more.
The two Advanced Apprentice originally had a chance to escape.
But perhaps they were Power Deterrence that Saine displayed from the start, or perhaps they were thinking of rescuing Willis.
By the time the two Advanced Apprentice tried to escape after Saine dealt with Willis in a very short time, it was too late.
The deaths of three more apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower at a high level greatly enhanced Saine's infamous reputation.
Two days later, when the other apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower discovered Willis's body, one of the Advanced Apprentice exclaimed, his face pale, "That guy was far more evil and terrifying than any demon or devil our instructors had ever told us about!"
"We can't possibly be a match for him; even Willis has already perished this time!"
"Damn it, what discouraging words are you spouting! We, the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower, have over 15,000 apprentices. Do you think we can be bullied by an apprentice from the Azure Source Holy Tower?!" another Advanced Apprentice couldn't help but curse.
However, his equally pale face indicated that his inner self was not as confident as he claimed.
"Tell me, if he succeeds in ambushing us one by one like this, how many of our Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices will be left?"
"Based on our findings over the past two months, that guy has been targeting lone individuals, and his main targets are us apprentices who are senior or above," another Advanced Apprentice said.
The Advanced Apprentice's words made the atmosphere much quieter.
The Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower does indeed have many apprentices, and the number of advanced apprentices is five times that of the Azure Source Holy Tower.
But if Saine continues this slaughter, the current generation of advanced apprentices in the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower may be wiped out.
Could it be that the last Academy War produced an anomaly like Martinez, and this year's Academy War has produced another God of Slaughter from the Azure Source Holy Tower?
"We still have the Daughter of Death Boboli! If we ask Boboli to step in and lead us, we'll definitely be able to wipe out this guy!" The Advanced Apprentice, who still had some fighting spirit, shouted.
Boboli, the Daughter of Death, is another talented apprentice of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower. Her reputation and strength are comparable to Willis'.
However, Boboli, the Daughter of Death, is skilled in necromancy. She can even summon two near-ranked Death Creature at the same time and give Death Creature certain external magical enhancements.
"Wake up! Boboli might not be able to find and kill that attacker either!"
"Let's stick together and work with the lower and middle-level apprentices."
"With more than a hundred people, I don't believe he would dare to cause us any trouble."
"We should learn from the incident that happened at the Lanxi Grass Resource Point. In addition to occupying the resource point, we should also send some apprentices to observe the surrounding situation and guard against the enemy's sneak attack." Another Advanced Apprentice made the most rational statement, which was agreed upon by the vast majority of apprentices present.
Ignoring the guy who was still trying to get revenge on Saine, the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices quickly left the area.
Individual activities by senior apprentices are no longer safe; now, these senior apprentices are required to work alongside numerous junior and intermediate apprentices.
Seeing the others gradually disappear into the distance, the guy who had remained standing suddenly trembled and chased after them as if fleeing.
"Wait for me!"
North of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Region.
After failing to gain any advantage in the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Region for several days in a row, Saine is finally going to switch areas.
More and more apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower are starting to band together for mutual support, and these apprentices seem to have channels of communication with each other.
They didn't give Saine any chance to take advantage of the situation.
"It's a pity that I couldn't capture those resource points by myself, otherwise it would have been a huge profit."
"Never mind, let's go check out the north side next. That seems to be the Apprentice Zone of Thunder Radiance Holy Tower?" Saine said, looking north.
