The Bait

In real war, sometimes you can't even trust the people on your own Saine's side.

She did not openly harm you, but she merely missed opportunities in certain battles.

Or perhaps it's a matter of being lazy and slow to work, which can sometimes be fatal.

At this moment, Boboli was playing with a special Crystal Ball that looked like a skull.

This Crystal Ball is slightly smaller than the normal size, just the right size for Boboli Crystal Ball hold in one hand.

The scene displayed inside the Crystal Ball was a chaotic battle taking place in the swamp not far from the White Bone Flower resource point.

Boboli witnessed Saine, the instigator, repeatedly using the Sun's Eye Magic to ambush people on the outskirts of the battle zone.

She also saw Bannack, who was surrounded and being attacked, and whose Magic Power and physical strength were gradually failing.

Bannack is getting old, after all.

Now over eighty years old, if he cannot achieve a top 20 ranking in the Regional Academy War, it will be difficult for him to gather all the resources needed for future promotion.

Older apprentices generally have higher Mental Strength and Magic Power strength, but their physical strength is a major weakness, unlike that of younger apprentices.

Seeing Bannack and the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices in increasingly difficult circumstances, Boboli, staring at the skull Crystal Ball, showed no change in expression.

That Peak Apprentice of the Azure Source Holy Tower named Saine was really a bit wicked. He didn't target the fewer apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower, but instead frequently attacked the apprentices of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower.

It's obvious that this is to maintain a balance of power between the apprentices on both sides, allowing the chaotic battle to continue...

The apprentices' melee, which took place above the swamp, lasted for two hours.

Saine had already tricked everyone into leaving quickly half an hour earlier.

A golden beam of light disappeared into the distance, signifying that he had flown to the farthest reaches of the world.

Of the apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower, only three survived the final struggle.

Bannack, the Quasi-Magician, was unwilling to simply activate his medal and leave the Trial Space; he was resentful.

At this time, more than a dozen apprentices of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower had also been lost.

Most of these lost apprentices were eliminated by Saine using the Sun's Eye Magic on the periphery, while a smaller portion were eliminated during the counterattack of the apprentices from the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower.

By now, all the apprentices had exhausted a significant amount of their Mental Strength and Magic Power energy during the battle.

Even the apprentices of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower, who currently hold a significant advantage, are not in good condition. The top apprentice, Makle, has a noticeable corrosive wound on his right arm, caused by Bannack's Death Ray.

So much so that Makle now always holds his Magic Staff in his left hand.

With an angry look, Makle glanced in the direction where Saine had retreated. Instead of immediately pursuing Saine, he joined the remaining Great Earth Academy Holy Tower apprentices to surround Bannack and the other two.

Bannack and the other two members of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower also had a considerable number of apprentice points.

Several thousand points have been earned, that's quite a lot.

This can be considered an extra gain for Makle during her pursuit of Saine. →

At this moment, the face of the Quasi-Magician Bannack was even more gloomy and worse than before.

Surrounded by the apprentices of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower, this person did not curse Saine, nor did he curse the apprentices of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower in front of him. Instead, he denounced "Daughter of Death" Boboli for not providing timely support.

Once he returns to the academy, he will definitely inform the academy instructors and the Grade Director to punish Boboli for failing to save him.

Bannack's voice was rather harsh, and Makle had no liking for this Quasi-Magician had injured his right arm.

A solidified Wind Element Arrow reappeared at the tip of Makle's Magic Staff.

Just as he was about to get rid of this somewhat noisy and gloomy old man, an unexpected change occurred.

The sound of "whoosh!" suddenly appeared all around this swamp.

Suddenly, a group of clearly hostile, deathly and Dark-Type Being slowly emerged from the swamp.

The sound of something tearing through the air came from more than a dozen hideous Death Spider. Spider Silk covered and connected the surrounding area, blocking the retreat route of Makle and the other Great Earth Academy Holy Tower.

Boboli, the "Daughter of Death" who had been scolded by the Quasi-Magician Bannack for half a day, finally made her appearance.

At the same time as her, there were more than twenty senior apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower.

More apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower are also heading here.

Given the distance between the White Bone Flower resource point and this place, it won't be long before nearly two thousand mid- and low-level apprentices from the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower can completely surround this place.

Quasi-Magician 'Bannack scathing rebuke abruptly ceased.

However, Boboli didn't even glance at him. Instead, she raised her bone staff forward, and two near-rank Undead Creature, one tall and one short, charged straight towards the apprentices of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower.

Boboli's two Undead Creature are not weak among quasi-rank creatures.

Moreover, these two Undead Creature were currently surrounded by various Elemental Light, and it was unknown how many beneficial spells they had been blessed with, making them exceptionally powerful!

The appearance of Boboli and the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower apprentices undoubtedly gave Bannack a Light of Hope.

He stretched out his wrinkled, thin right hand and said to Popoli and the others, "Save..."

I!"

Boboli remained unmoved by Bannack's pleas for help.

"Let's deal with the apprentices from the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower first. These apprentices are all advanced level or above, and they must have a considerable number of points!"

"Notify those apprentices below the intermediate level to come here as soon as possible. With our limited manpower, even with summoned creatures, we might not be able to hold off these Great Earth Academy Holy Tower apprentices for long," Boboli quickly ordered.

"Yes," replied the Advanced Apprentice beside him, neither of them paying attention to Bannack and his two companions who were surrounded by apprentices from the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower.

The battle that took place in the Swamp Zone lasted for another half a day.

Bannack, the Quasi-Magician, ultimately did not receive Boboli's rescue.

Overwhelmed with resentment and anger, he glanced at Boboli, who was not far from him, and finally triggered the Holy Tower Badge to detach.

In this battle, although the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower lost more than ten advanced apprentices, represented by Bannack, they still managed to eliminate nearly thirty advanced apprentices from the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower.

It's a resounding victory no matter how you look at it!

After the battle, although top apprentices like Makle managed to break through and escape, the gains and points obtained were enough to excite the advanced and higher-level apprentices of the Shadow of Darkness Holy Tower who participated.

The Advanced Apprentice who had always obeyed Boboli flew to Boboli after the battle and asked, "Before leaving the Trial Space, Bannack claimed he would report to the academy instructors that we didn't support them..."

"Who said we're not supporting them?"

"They've arrived, but they're just not strong enough to hold out," Boboli said, flicking her single braid.

"Truth is always articulated by the victors."

"The truth of this battle is that we used a small number of apprentices as bait to eliminate dozens of elite apprentices of the Great Earth Academy Holy Tower."

"Don't worry, even if we return to the academy, the instructors will only praise us and won't scold us," Boboli said confidently, patting the apprentice on the shoulder.

Perhaps it's Boboli's strong physique that gives people a strange sense of security.

Or perhaps it was because of her strength and reputation that the Advanced Apprentice eventually stopped worrying about the matter.

Even as a Advanced Apprentice, he earned over a thousand points in this battle.

As expected, those apprentices who have managed to stay at the advanced level or above all have quite a few points.

Boboli earned more points.

The Quasi-Magician who eliminated Bannack was eliminated by Boboli herself.

From a certain perspective, it's also equivalent to Bannack's points, with a significant portion flowing into Boboli's account.
