The Black Magician's Greed
The raging storm did not extinguish Saine's enthusiasm for rushing into it; on the contrary, it made him faster and faster.
The storm-converging area that Yuli discovered was larger and more dangerous than she had imagined.
Previously, when Saine was farther away, this clue had not been noticed.
However, as he approached the very center of the storm, the intense Storm Power nearly swept away this Level-1 Magician.
In addition to the increasingly violent giant storm in the sky, there are also many swirling ocean currents beneath the surface.
These whirlpools, combined with the storms in the sky, have amplified the danger level here significantly!
At this Saine, besides the Construct Master Yuli, there were also two Gray-White Constructed Magic Puppet that were on the verge of being scrapped.
These two Gray-White Constructed Magic Puppet victims who "taken a bullet" for Saine just now.
The eerie sharpness of Second-Level Black Magician is extremely lethal to flesh and blood living beings, but its effectiveness against mechanical creations like Constructed Magic Puppet seems to be diminished.
After taking a direct hit from Second-Level Black Magician, the two Gray-White Constructed Magic Puppet did not immediately crash. Instead, under Yuli's control, they swayed and followed Saine and the others to this place.
However, by now, these two Gray-White Constructed Magic Puppet almost completed their mission and fulfilled their purpose.
The powerful Storm Power prevented the two heavily damaged Constructed Magic Puppet from continuing to follow in the footsteps of Saine and his companion. →
Even Saine found it extremely difficult to move forward in the storm. After traveling for a while, the internal energy and power of these two Constructed Magic Puppet could no longer support them to continue moving forward in the storm.
"Leave them here and see if we can hold off that Black Magician for a while. We need to get to that island as soon as possible!" Saine said to Yuli.
Yuli didn't hesitate for a moment when faced with Saine's assignment.
The two swaying Constructed Magic Puppet continued to drift in this storm-ravaged land after Yuli gave the order to start automatic combat.
Meanwhile, Saine and Yuli continued to brave the storm and fly towards the lush, green island in the distance.
As long as he successfully reaches the island, with the Green Source Seed given to him by his mentor, Saine can at least guarantee that he will be invincible.
As for whether he could kill the Black Magician, Saine wasn't very confident.
The war in the Poison Fire Green Flame World also highlights some of the weaknesses and flaws of these Plant Creature.
They are relatively useful cannon fodder legions, especially suitable for large-scale legion battles.
However, the individual lethality of these Plant Creature becomes readily apparent due to their bulky, slow, and flightless nature.
Saine was largely lucky to capture the Construct Master Yuli. Without the forbidden spell cast by his mentor Luluman, these Plant Creature wouldn't have been so ferocious in Combat Power.
And as long as Saine is well-prepared, acts quickly enough, and is willing to consume the large amount of Green Source Seed given by his mentor, he will surely be able to give that Black Magician a "surprise" in the first instance. →
Above the deck of the giant ship, Van Basten, a second-level dark mage who had just flown back from the horizon, was holding a head that was staring angrily at him.
Even in his final moments, the Level-1 Magician Satchi still showed some courage; he fought to the death, refusing to leave the Black Magician a complete corpse.
The benefits of having the Black Magician kill him have decreased significantly.
Even if Satchi dies, the Black Magician has no intention of letting him go.
The Soul Magic he possessed had already gathered as much of Satchi's remnant soul as possible into his head before his death.
The head of Level-1 Magician can fetch a good price even in the Black Domain.
Van Basten knew several Black Magician who had achieved considerable success in the fields of Corpse Refinement Synthetic Beast and corpse crafting.
This high-quality first-level creature head is a good choice whether it is incorporated into Corpse Refinement Synthetic Beast or used as the main material to refine a skeleton mage.
Having emerged from the Dark Domain, the level-two dark mage Van Basten had made a fortune, far exceeding his previous expectations.
Perhaps after returning to the Black Domain, he can sell all these materials and profits and then begin preparing for his breakthrough to the third level.
Although Van Basten's Mental Strength and Magic Power power were still at the late stage of level two, he believed that his strength and knowledge were no less than any peak level two expert.
That is indeed the case.
Van Basten is more than 70% confident about being promoted to the third rank.
This is an extremely arrogant Black Magician who is full of confidence in his own strength. His return will inevitably cause quite a stir in a certain area of Black Domain Eastern Islands.
Now, Van Basten is preparing to reclaim the last piece of "Spoils of War".
"What an energetic little fellow, he's already run so far." Beneath his tattered black robes, the second-level dark mage Van Basten gazed in a certain direction to the southeast and couldn't help but sigh.
For more than six months, there has been a faint sense of crisis and repression about Saine.
It's unclear how the second-level dark mage Van Basten marked Saine, yet he was still able to accurately determine Saine's current location.
"Splash!" Two corpses of Level 1 Knight, one without a heart and the other without a head, shot out of the seawater below under Van Basten's Magic Power control and fell into his hands.
With two more Level 1 biological bodies acquired, Van Basten made a killing this time.
The foul-smelling blood lingered in the pale reddish seawater below, and the two Humpback Whale that were originally used to pull the ropes were now belly up, lifeless.
The surrounding sea was deathly silent, and the only living things left were the ordinary humans and magic apprentices shivering on the deck.
While advanced apprentices may possess the basic Levitation Spell spell, escaping on the vast ocean with their limited Magic Power reserves would be a certain death sentence.
The few remaining apprentices on the deck at this time were mostly Intermediate Apprentice.
The Second-Level Black Magician merely glanced at them, gave a cold laugh, and then ignored them.
Once the escaped Saine is captured, the Black Magician will have plenty of time and energy to deal with these lowly ants.
Furthermore, this Black Magician also treated this rather large Alchemy Powered Ship as his private property.
Although the cargo on the ship consisted of relatively low-end and common alchemical materials, transporting it back to the Black Domain would still be a considerable fortune.
The terms "low-end" and "common" used here are relative to the Wizard Continent.
However, in the resource-poor Black Domain, this shipment could still fetch a considerable sum of money.
The journey back to the Black Domain from the Endless South Sea may involve many difficulties and troubles.
No matter how strong Van Basten is, he is only a Second-Level Black Magician. He does not yet have the absolute strength and resources to roam the Zongheng Wizard World.
We can only take it one step at a time, and if it doesn't work out, then so be it.
Anyway, he's already made enough money this time.
The reason for temporarily keeping these ordinary humans and magic apprentices is that such a large Alchemy Powered Ship needs to be operated by someone.
It's impossible for this Second-Level Black Magician to transport it back to the Black Domain out of thin air.
