Ending the Trial

Driven by the Beast Tide within the Trial Zone, Saine and Lina were forced to retreat southeast. →

Saine also realized that these Beast Tide were not there to kill them, but only to drive them away.

Unless you're bracing yourself for a fight to the death against the Beast Tide, you generally won't die from the overwhelming force of the Beast Tide; at most, you'll just get injured.

Under the onslaught of the Beast Tide, Saine and his companion drifted along with the current, spending more than two years in the Trial Zone.

It wasn't until the twenty-third year after Saine entered the Trial Zone that he and Lina finally arrived at the "exit" located in the southeast of the Trial Zone.

This is an Element Vortex that appears in mid-air.

The surging Beast Tide around them ignored the appearance of this Element Vortex, and no magical beast dared to rush into Element Vortex.

But as a trial participant, Saine knew that the Element Vortex in mid-air was the escape route prepared for them by the rule-makers of the Knight Continent.

The surging Beast Tide around them had forced Saine and Lina to leave the Trial Zone.

Since both of them were injured to varying degrees, there was no point in them staying any longer.

Over twenty years of trials have allowed Saine and Lina to accumulate an astonishing amount of strength, knowledge, and wealth.

Judging by their ages, they both recently broke through to the next level, and are only in their seventies, not yet a hundred.

But the reality is that they are both close to being able to attempt to reach level two.

In this respect, Saine is even faster than Lina.

At this point, his Mental Strength and Magic Power had both exceeded 800, and his physical strength was growing even faster, approaching 900.

This rapid growth is thanks to the increasingly surging and intense Beast Tide of recent years.

Without the constant threat of Beast Tide from all directions, Saine's potential could never have been fully realized in such a short time.

The abundance of cultivation resources and the plentiful energy elements in the surrounding area are also important factors that have enabled Saine to grow rapidly in strength.

Without the twenty-three years of trials on the Knight Continent, it would have taken at least three times longer for Saine to reach the same level in the Wizard World.

Not to mention the various benefits that Saine received in the Knight Continent Trial Zone, as well as many extremely rare resources that are unavailable outside.

"Let's go!" Grabbing Lina's hand, Saine leaped into the Element Vortex in the sky.

The situation on the other side of the Element Vortex was similar to what Saine had seen when he first arrived in the Knight Continent Trial Zone.

Before your eyes is a special blue-purple space, with a straight passage leading forward, and a bright light at the end of the passage.

Saine and Lina flew straight towards the end of the passage.

When they reached the end and passed through the blinding white light.

Blue sky, sea, and blue waves reappeared before them.

The sudden drop in energy element concentration around them indicated that they had left the Knight Continent Trial Zone. →

Although the concentration of energy elements has decreased, given the environmental standards of the Wizard World, the elemental concentration here is many times higher than that of ordinary medium and Small Plane.

On the distant coast, a majestic port city stands.

I don't know exactly where this is; it doesn't look like the entrance that Saine used when he entered the Knight Continent Trial Area.

Nearby were dozens of Knight and Mage from the Wizard World, each possessing considerable aura.

"They've been in the Trial Zone for twenty-three years? They're quite a pair of lads."

"Go to Bisai City to rest for a while. Then, airships will take you back to your respective Holy Tower."

"Or you could take a stroll around the area. With the constant return of the trial participants, several decent commercial markets have sprung up, and you should find something that interests you," a mature female Mage in a red dress flew up and said to Saine and his companion.

This female Mage is quite powerful; she appears to be at level three.

However, the other party was very polite to Saine and Lina in their words.

It's probably because of their status as Knight Continent Trial.

At this moment, Lina was wearing a black magic robe modified by Saine, and her daily interactions with Saine had diminished much of the malevolent aura she possessed as Black Magician.

Without revealing her identity, probably no one would guess that she is a Black Magician.

Saine bowed respectfully to the level three female Mage before him, then flew with Lina toward the distant port city.

This is definitely not the port city called Ellen Harbor that Saine and Lina stayed in when they entered the Knight Continent Trial Zone.

This area is located in the southeastern part of the Western Islands.

After more than twenty years of trials on the Knight Continent, when they emerged, Saine and his companion had traversed the Western Islands from north to south.

However, they were lucky; there was more than one exit from the Knight Continent Trial Zone.

There are dedicated outlets in the northwest and southwest of the Western Islands.

If they had come from the southwest exit, the journey back to the Black Domain would have been twice as long as it is now.

The increased distance did not frustrate Saine and Lina; on the contrary, it made them happy.

The sooner they return to the Black Domain, the closer they are to the time when the two will be separated.

Although Lina had previously decided on a plan to meet with Saine via the Netherworld.

However, this plan still needs some time to be perfected, at least for now Lina does not have the ability to directly communicate with the Netherworld.

This will have to wait until she returns to the Pale Bone Black Tower, sets up a special magic array altar, and then conducts further research.

Fortunately, she and Saine had made a considerable fortune on the Knight Continent this time. They were not short of funds, not to mention the cost of setting up the Magic Altar, but also the resources needed for their future advancement to Second-Level Magician.

If all goes well, it won't be a problem for her and Saine to meet outside the Wizard World.

After spending two weeks exploring the Near-Sea, Saine and Lina embarked on their journey back to the Black Domain.

They declined the free airship offered by the nearby Holy Tower and opted to fly on foot, exploring the Western Islands as they made their way toward the Black Domain.

Besides returning to the Black Domain to deliver Lina, Saine had another reason for doing so: to avenge his mentor Moxidu.

More than twenty years have passed, and the Knight Continent Trial have ended for the Level-1 Magician.

Many Second-Level Magician, as well as some unlucky Level-3 Magician, have also emerged.

The time has come to end this decisively.

Even without Martin, a level-three Black Magician, as an intermediary, Lina's status as Mage of the Pale Bone Black Tower and her position valued by the Black Tower master were barely enough to force the level-one Black Magician, Di'ersi, to show himself and fight.

"Even if you didn't make a move, I was planning to wait until the Knight Continent Trial was over before seeking revenge on that Di'ersi for you," Lina said to Saine.

"No, I will avenge my mentor myself," Saine said earnestly.

It was also when Saine and Lina passed through a large human city called Berkeley City in the Western Islands.

Sylph, a mid-level first-tier Mage had just boarded a floating ship provided by a nearby Holy Tower and was planning to return to the Azure Flame Holy Tower, stood on the deck of the floating ship and stared in astonishment at a tiny black dot below.

"Huh? That person looks like Junior Brother Saine?" Sylph, who had also completed the Knight Continent Trial, asked in surprise.

However, today's bonus chapter was agreed upon in advance, so it is not included in the bonus chapter and is a free bonus chapter.

I'll be adding Dodo chapters tomorrow, and I hope you'll all continue to support me.
