I had seen this fighting style of using Undead Creature as the front line before when Saine stormed the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Region.

However, at that time, Saine only saw a few hundred Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices attacking resource points.

The sight of thousands of apprentices gathered before him was something Saine had only ever witnessed before, during the war between the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower and the Thunder Radiance Holy Tower in the Eastern Hills.

Although in terms of the total number of apprentices, the number of apprentices fighting on both sides around Wind Howling Cliff at this time is estimated to be only half of the tens of thousands of apprentices on the Hill Battlefield at that time.

However, the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower summoned thousands of hideous and terrifying undead and Dark-Type Being.

Therefore, the overwhelming atmosphere of war and chill that it brought was enough to make many apprentices of the Azure Source Holy Tower who had never been used to war feel uneasy.

Saine is a man who has seen "big storms" and has a resilient mind.

The sight of thousands of Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices besieging Wind Howling Cliff did not arouse any suspicion in Saine.

Instead, he began searching for the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices' weak points on the battlefield, attempting to reap a wave of points there.

Judging from his outward demeanor, the Quasi-Magician Daniel was not as composed as Saine.

However, this guy didn't seem to be intimidated at all.

Although he remained silent and followed behind Saine, Daniel still spared a lot of his gaze to secretly observe Saine. →

He wanted to know what decision Saine would make next.

Of course, what Daniel is more curious about so far is how Saine managed to earn such a huge number of points in such a short period of time.

Ignoring Daniel's furtive glances, after observing the fierce battle outside Wind Howling Cliff for a while, Saine piloted the Metal Discs and flew towards the rear flank of the battlefield.

At this moment, near Wind Howling Cliff, the main battle between the apprentices of the Azure Source Holy Tower and the thousands of undead and Darkness-type summons is being fought.

These things are extremely resilient and have considerable attack power. More importantly, there is no benefit in killing them. Only a fool would waste time and energy fighting these summoned creatures.

Saine headed straight for the flank of the battlefield, in the area between the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower and the summoned creatures.

Especially since she flew diagonally backward, it further indicated that his target was only...

There were those Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices hiding in the back, huddled together, casting spells and chanting.

Saine's actions nearly caused Daniel, the Quasi-Magician had come with him, to stumble and fall from the sky.

Daniel was well aware that the area behind the battlefield was the heart of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower Apprentice Zone.

Knowing something is one thing, but daring to do it is another.

The Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower ranks third in overall strength among the five great Holy Tower, far surpassing the Azure Source Holy Tower, which is at the bottom, and the Secret Language Holy Tower, which is second to last.

Even without those undead and Darkness-type summons, the overall spellcasting level of the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower is still higher than that of the average apprentices of the Azure Source Holy Tower.

In particular, the total number of apprentices in the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower is slightly more than that in the Azure Source Holy Tower. Even though the Azure Source Holy Tower is currently fighting on its home turf, the number and frequency of apprentices coming to support it will be higher.

However, at present, the most rational approach is to first stop the aggressive attacks of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower.

Should we wait until we have a larger number of apprentices supporting us before pursuing a decisive battle with the enemy?

Daniel, the Quasi-Magician, was rather conservative in his style and principles of conduct. Of course, this was also part of the plan devised by the academy deans, and not entirely due to his own shortcomings.

But Saine is not someone who likes to be passively attacked.

The irrepressible golden light emanating from his body made Saine the center of attention and the focus of everyone's gaze as soon as he appeared on the battlefield.

When the golden light representing the Azure Source Holy Tower rushed straight towards the side of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentice camp, the entire battlefield erupted in cheers!

Is this the allure of being number one on the Regional Academy War leaderboard?

Is this the Peak Apprentice of our Azure Source Holy Tower?

At this time, the number of disciples of the Azure Source Holy Tower gathered inside and outside Wind Howling Cliff was about three or four thousand, which was not much less than the number of disciples of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower.

The reason they were constantly being suppressed was partly because there were too many undead and Dark-Type Being, and they were really troublesome.

On the other hand, the academy's traditionally weak mindset and the conservative defensive strategies of its senior apprentices meant that these apprentices did not consider going out to fight the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower.

But sometimes, especially on the battlefield, a trendsetter like Saine is especially needed.

As long as one

When an individual dares to charge forward, and indeed takes the lead, it gives those behind them boundless confidence.

Even though many people know that the gap in strength between themselves and their opponents is indeed very large.

But as long as that guiding flag stands, people caught in the chaos and tension of war can't think too much about anything else.

Let's just rush it all at once!

Aside from a few psychopaths, no one would willingly accept being constantly on the defensive and taking hits.

The apprentices of the Azure Source Holy Tower have been suppressed for too long; they desperately need a hero to bring them victory.

The silent attack by Saine, and the arrival of that Golden Light Pillar, evoked different psychological feelings in the apprentices on both sides during the battle.

Many apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower were actually quite familiar with Saine, who was bathed in Golden Light Pillar.

After all, almost a year has passed since the Regional Academy War began.

Saine initially wreaked havoc in the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower, leaving behind various legends among the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower.

"Necromancer" Kramp and "Shadow Star" Willis are both top apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower who have been famous for a long time. Their strength alone is no less than that of Daniel of the Azure Source Holy Tower, and may even be slightly better.

However, both of these top apprentices perished at the hands of Saine.

And according to rumors, it was an instant kill?

Some well-informed apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower had even learned in advance that Saine had once again wreaked havoc in the Thunder Radiance Holy Tower area and the Earth Academy area.

Images of Saine's appearance and a summary of his abilities gradually circulated among the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower.

A bounty list with extremely high prices was jointly issued by several Quasi-Magician from the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower.

The goal was to hunt down Saine and avenge his previous defeat.

But so far, this list has only added to Saine's infamous reputation, without having any real impact on him.

Those mid-level and low-level apprentices were envious of the bounty and Saine's points, but were they Saine's match?

As for those apprentices above the advanced level... they were even more aware of Saine's power, so they had no interest in doing anything that would lead to their deaths.
