Beast

Just as Saine shifted his body slightly, a faint sound of rolling yellow sand arose.

Further away, Stanson, caught between a mix of sadness and joy, suddenly roared, "Who's there?!"

Stanson's grief stemmed from Mali's weakness and dying moments.

His joy stemmed from the fact that Mali had finally regained some of his spirits.

Stanson ignored Mali's refusal; this single-minded guy was only thinking about how to save Mali.

The exposure of Saine's whereabouts caused a flicker of excitement to flash in Stanson's slightly reddened eyes.

The presence of people, or living creatures, signifies the availability of food.

Mali and Stanson hadn't eaten or drunk anything for almost three days. Stanson could still manage, but Mali couldn't.

Stanson must find the other person and dismantle their bones.

The enemy's blood will nourish Mali and his throat, and the enemy's flesh will fill their bellies.

Driven mad by hunger and alternating states of agitation, Stanson has become a humanoid beast, far more insane than any high-level magical beast.

In Saine's vision, he saw a flash of crimson figure, followed by the giant-like Stanson charging precisely towards his location.

This "beast's" sense of smell was far more exaggerated than Saine had imagined.

And as he ran, Saine noticed that the black fingernails growing on Stanson's palms had grown even longer.

The slight redness in the other person's eyes indicated that it seemed unlikely he could have a normal conversation with Saine at this moment.

Given the opponent's incredible speed, Saine didn't even have time to explain his purpose before being forced to draw his Magic Short Staff to fight.

Being targeted by a Advanced Apprentice who has gone mad is not a pleasant experience.

Not to mention, Stanson is not weak even among Advanced Apprentice.

Fortunately, hunger and exhaustion greatly reduced Stanson's strength.

When the opponent rushed to within ten meters of Saine, Saine's intermediate spell was already ready.

"Fire Wall!" A massive wall of fire appeared before Saine.

The scorching flames made the already sweltering surrounding air and environment even hotter.

However, the scorching fire waves accompanying the Fire Wall,

It didn't slow Stanson's pace down at all.

A faint black Element Power flashed across Stanson's body, and some hairs grew out of Stanson body. The guy actually used his right arm to cover his eyes and leaped over the wall of fire!

Stanson, who dashed through the wall of fire, wore a sinister smile beneath his dark face.

Unfortunately, before he could even grasp his prey's neck with both hands, Saine, who had been there, vanished!

The advanced Invisibility Cloak perfectly concealed Saine's body. While it couldn't completely mask his aura and voice, it was sufficient to deal with the foolish and reckless "beast" Stanson. →

Even the Fire Wall that Saine just cast was merely a cover.

The heat and vision-blocking effects of the Fire Wall allowed him to hide further away using the Invisibility Cloak.

Immediately following the Fire Wall, Saine's next attack spell was ready.

"Flame Hand!"

A massive wave of fire coalesced into a hand, and in terms of both attack power and striking effect, the Flame Hand far surpassed the Fire Wall.

While Stanson's act of rushing through the Fire Wall was fierce and awe-inspiring, he was not entirely unharmed.

The obvious burns on his arms, thighs, chest, and other parts indicate that even if this guy is Advanced Apprentice who has mastered Bloodline Magic, it is impossible for him to be immune to Fire Element.

Next, Saine's Flame Hand clearly aimed to pinch Stanson's more vulnerable head.

"Roar!" In the moment of crisis, Stanson let out a furious roar.

A denser black light appeared again, and this time, Stanson's entire head underwent a transformation.

Apart from two sharp fangs growing from the corners of its mouth and a pair of black, furry ears growing from its head, even its hands had transformed into a pair of giant black palms.

The Flame Hand, which was highly anticipated, did burn off a lot of Statham's mane, even though Stanson managed to protect his head with his hands in time. However, it did not deliver a fatal blow to this strong and resilient man.

When the duration of the Flame Hand ended, Stanson's hair was mostly burned off, and what was even more chilling was that his body was covered with dense scars, and it was unknown what he had gone through before.

The blood and scars made Stanson look like a man at the end of his rope.

When Saine thought the big guy would charge at him again as before, this...

After two rounds of Bloodline Magic stimulation, the giant, whose size had already exaggerated to 2.5 meters, staggered forward one step and then collapsed with a thud!

The power of Bloodline Magic comes not only from the Mage ' daily meditation to accumulate Magic Power, but also from the replenishment of blood.

Under normal circumstances, this Magic Power quality in his blood makes Stanson more skilled in combat and more enduring than other Mage of the same level.

But blood can be both a blessing and a curse.

Stanson was extremely weak and powerless at this moment, and he was even somewhat anemic because he had just given blood to Mali.

Therefore, after activating Bloodline Magic twice, he lost the last bit of his strength.

This also shows Stanson's stupidity and recklessness. If it were any other Black Wizard Apprentice, they would definitely try to leave themselves some spare strength for escape or other purposes.

Only Stanson, disregarding everything, stubbornly took both of Saine's spells head-on.

It seems that if he hadn't run out of Magic Power and stamina, this guy would have continued to fight Saine recklessly.

With a soft sigh of relief, Saine emerged from stealth.

The High-Level Magic Item that his mentor Moxidu gave him were truly useful. Without this Invisibility Cloak, he would have been in a much worse state when fighting Stanson, and might even have been injured by him.

After Stanson activated his Bloodline Magic Power twice, the strength of those jet-black hands was something Saine wasn't sure if his body could withstand.

Saine emerged from stealth, holding Strong Acid Scepter in his hand.

The big guy Stanson wasn't dead. Although he had fallen, he was still breathing heavily and tried to get up again more than once.

The extensive burns all over his body, coupled with the countless old scars on Stanson's skin, made him look even more ferocious and terrifying.

Saine didn't immediately finish off his opponent with the Strong Acid Scepter, which would have been a waste, as the Strong Acid Scepter has a cooldown period.

Moreover, he wanted to get some information from this big guy.

"Why are you here? Advanced Apprentice and Intermediate Apprentice enter the Time-Space Rift in different orders and at different times, so how did you two end up meeting?"

"And where are the other Advanced Apprentice and Quasi-Magician?"

"If you tell me, I might spare your life." A Minor Fireball appeared in Saine's hand as he looked at Stanson, who had a pair of beast-like eyes, and asked.
