Pursuit

The Second-Level Black Magician glanced at the giant ship below, putting immense psychological pressure on everyone on board, then sneered and prepared to continue pursuing Saine.

However, before Van Basten could fly away from the sky, a thin Energy Beam shot out from the deck below and hit him directly in the body.

In the air, Van Basten's body swayed slightly, but he was not seriously injured.

Looking down, one could see a red-haired Intermediate Magic Apprentice leaning against Magic Guided Cannon emitting wisps of blue smoke, positioned at the corner of the cargo carried by the giant ship.

The two main Magic Conductor Cannon of this Alchemy Powered Ship belonging to the Kuli Man Merchant Guild were destroyed by Second-Level Black Magician at the very beginning.

The Magic Guided Cannon used by the Intermediate Apprentice in front of you is a relatively low-powered secondary cannon on this Alchemy Powered Ship.

The actions of the Intermediate Magic Apprentice undoubtedly angered the Black Magician.

But then, he suddenly let out a strange laugh.

"Heh heh heh ha ha, you're very brave!"

"I admire you, little fellow, so I'll spare your life for now."

"If you can survive the Trial of Despair of the Underground Corpse Cave the Black Domain in the future, I will give you a chance." The Energy Beam in front of the Black Magician's Magic Staff gradually disappeared, and he said with a cold laugh.

Ignoring the other pale-faced people on the Alchemy Powered Ship, the Black Magician immediately transformed into a black shadow and chased after the direction in which Saine had fled.

Only after the Black Magician disappeared into the horizon did the people on the giant ship breathe a deep sigh of relief.

The one who reacted the most was the red-haired apprentice who had just used Magic Guided Cannon the Second-Level Black Magician.

His whole body was soaked in sweat, and even his hands, which were holding the Magic Conductor Cannon, were trembling uncontrollably.

As an apprentice facing the majesty of a Second-Level Black Magician, no one knows what kind of fear he had just experienced.

"Eric, are you alright?" After the Black Magician disappeared into the horizon, the few remaining magic apprentices on the deck immediately came over and asked the red-haired apprentice.

This red-haired apprentice clearly enjoyed considerable prestige and popularity among the surrounding apprentices.

Especially since he had just dared to attack a powerful Black Magician who was incredibly strong and had easily killed the Level-1 Magician Satchi and two other Level 1 Knight, he had become the backbone of the group of apprentices around him. The apprentice named Eric, facing the concerned inquiries of the other apprentices, finally gradually came to his senses.

This is a self-reliant and resourceful magic apprentice. If he were to give up so easily, he wouldn't have risked his life to bombard the second-level dark mage Van Basten in the sky with a magic cannon.

Although he didn't know what the Black Magician meant by "Underground Corpse Cave" and "Trial of Despair," Eric instinctively felt that they were definitely not good places. →

"What do we do now? Even Master Satchi has fallen. Are we going to die here too...?" The only female magic apprentice among the group said in a low voice, her voice clearly trembling with tears.

Among magic apprentices below level one, the differences in personality and behavior resulting from gender differences between male and female apprentices are still quite significant.

The Black Wizard Academy that Saine attended had relatively few female students.

Now, facing the annihilation crisis brought by the Black Magician, it is this female apprentice who is the first to break down.

The female apprentice's weeping also made the remaining few magic apprentices on the deck appear heavy-hearted and depressed.

At this moment, only a few of them possessed extraordinary powers on the deck. As for the Knight Attendant, who originally outnumbered the magic apprentices, they had already been wiped out by the Black Magician with a simple black raven.

The Knight ' courage did not save their lives.

Despite the dire circumstances, the magic apprentice named Eric did not give up.

He then gritted his teeth and said, "Inform the sailors that we are continuing our voyage northward!"

"As long as we reach the shore, we'll have a chance to survive," Eric said.

The magic apprentices in front of them exchanged glances, and one of them said, "The Humpback Whale and the sea creatures that pulled the giant ship are all dead, and the Mage Satchi is also gone. We will have a hard time fully activating the ship's own power system."

"Is it really possible to escape from here? Perhaps that Black Magician will return soon..."

"No matter how small the chance, we have to try!" Eric interrupted the apprentice's disheartened words.

He continued, "Sass, don't you have some knowledge of alchemy? Go check the engine room at the bottom of the ship; we must restart this giant ship!"

Eric's words rekindled a bit of confidence among the apprentices around him.

It was mainly the instinct for survival that drove them, and the strong smell of blood in the surrounding seawater constantly stimulated their taste buds and their spirits.

The second-level dark mage, Van Basten, was quite good at judging people; this intermediate apprentice named Eric was indeed quite capable.

Regardless of his achievements in the fields of magic and the Truth Exploration, his temperament and willpower far surpass those of ordinary magic apprentices.

And this is also the most precious thing.

The second-level dark mage, Van Basten, flew very fast.

Being able to catch up with Satchi and kill him in a very short time is enough to prove that he also has the ability to crush Saine, who has only recently been promoted one level.

During the pursuit of Saine, Van Basten also discerned Saine's thoughts, at least on the surface.

"Are you trying to use the Endless South Sea to restrain me, or are you making a last-ditch effort?"

"Indeed, you're a Level-1 Magician with ideas. I'm even more interested in you now, hehehe." In the sky, looking at the dark and oppressive clouds in the distance and the raging storm below, the Second-Level Black Magician couldn't help but sneer.

The two Gray-White Constructed Magic Puppet that suddenly emerged from below the sea level did not cause him any harm.

After piercing the chests of the two Constructed Magic Puppet with a beam of Magic Power once more, the Second-Level Black Magician raised his hand and collected the two shattered puppets that were emitting blue smoke and continuing to fall downwards.

"Hmm... it looks a bit like something made by the mechanics in the City of Steel, but there are no traces of alchemy from the Wizard World. This must be a product from another world."

"Is this yet another technologically advanced world that has been conquered by wizarding civilization?" Second-level dark mage Van Basten commented, scrutinizing the broken puppet before him with dead fish-like eyes.

Despite the distance, the Construct Master Yuli was still able to control the two puppets.

One of them was completely destroyed, losing its basic combat capabilities.

The other one emitted a white light again from its right shoulder cannon, but before it could be fired, the Black Magician used his Hand of Elements to crush the metal shoulder cannon of this Constructed Magic Puppet into shape, just like extinguishing a flame.

Van Basten, a second-level dark mage, casually tossed the two remnants of constructs into his spatial equipment, chuckled coldly, and continued his pursuit towards the storm-gathering place where Saine was hiding.
