In the chaos, a streak of fire grazed Saine's cheek. →

Although it didn't cause any serious injury, it still made his face feel burning with pain.

Lina, who was closer to Saine, was in a worse situation.

Although Lina dodged the first wave of fiery pillars and rain of fire, the hurricane that followed blew Lina small body dozens of meters away.

"Lina!" Saine called out.

After casting a Light Body Technique on himself, Saine, whose body was flashing with yellow light, rushed to Lina and picked her up.

The source of the yellow light was a Magic Ring given to him by his mentor Moxidu before his departure, which contained an Earth Elemental Shield.

When Saine appeared beside Lina, although there was obvious blood seeping from Lina waist and abdomen, this strong woman still managed to cast several Light Body Technique- enhancing spells on herself in time.

As Advanced Apprentice, Lina has mastered a wider variety of magic.

Lina also learned a shield-type spell, but unlike Saine's Magic Ring, it couldn't be activated and released directly.

The two, now close together again, couldn't help but observe their surroundings.

Saine and Lina, protected by an Earth Elemental Shield, were relatively unharmed, but the other mid- to Advanced Apprentice in the camp suffered heavy Casualties from the sudden attack.

The radiance of the elements shimmered before Saine and the others.

The main issue was the sudden arrival of wind Fire Element, with very little resistance or struggle from the Black Wizard Apprentice.

"How could your Dawn Holy Tower arrive so quickly, and so accurately pinpoint the location of Shadow Valley?!"

"Could there be a traitor?!" A furious, aged voice roared from the depths of the broken passage filled with elemental mist.

The appearance of this sound caused many Black Wizard Apprentice were under high stress or severely injured to cough up blood.

A mere Mental Strength attack brimming with rage was enough to severely injure the weak apprentices on this side of the passage. Just how powerful must the owner of this voice be?

"Hmph, find the answer yourself."

"Not only do they openly engage in Black Magic activities on the Wizard Continent, but they also plunder countless people and massacre the native civilians of the Wizard World."

"Furthermore, you have arbitrarily destroyed the Time-Space Rift seal once set up by the Summer Guardian. I, Romwozi of the Dawn Holy Tower, will kill you under the witness of the Holy Tower's rules!" Another voice, sounding younger and more righteous, transmitted a message of will.

"You? If it were the tower master of your Dawn Holy Tower in person, I would naturally find it difficult to withstand his majesty head-on. I heard that he is a Level-5 Peak Holy Spirit Mage."

"But you're just a little guy who's only recently reached the Level-3 Peak, do you even understand what the real techniques for applying the laws are?" The aged voice came again, filled with disdain for his opponent.

"Whether you understand the application of the power of laws or not, just experience my wind and fire magic for yourself next time," the young Willpower Voice sneered.

Two powerful beings, both at the Level-3 Peak and having touched upon certain laws, engaged in a fierce battle near the Space Channel.

The person with the rather aged voice seemed very likely to be the mysterious city lord of City of Mozhsuobula and the headmaster of the Black Wizard Academy.

The opponent tried several times to rush through the Space Channel, but was intercepted each time.

The intense fire and wind Element Power transformed the area around the Space Channel into an ocean of elements.

The fire was fueled by the wind, and the wind fueled the fire; with the two working together, the dean was unable to get through several times.

Similarly, the raging fire rain and hurricane caused huge Casualties among the Black Wizard Apprentice on the other side of the Space Channel.

Saine and Lina are doing relatively well, but the other Black Wizard Apprentice are in a worse situation.

There was even a Quasi-Magician who possessed considerable shield-type magic, but he was melted by the fire rain before he even had time to chant a spell.

This did not appear to be an ordinary flame; its Fire Element properties far surpassed the fire magic mastered by Saine and Lina.

The chaotic scene also caused Saine to lose contact with his senior brothers and sisters.

All they could see were raging flames and raging winds. In this dangerous situation, it was a miracle that Saine and Lina could even take care of themselves. They had no time to worry about others.

"Hehehe, you Holy Tower Mage are nothing but hypocrites."

"There were at least a hundred innocent apprentices on the other side of the Space Channel, most of whom were probably wiped out by your wind and fire magic just now."

"Alas, they were the future of the Wizard World! They had never done anything to break the rules of the Wizard World, and you just wiped them out so easily?"

"Who is the Black Magician Black Magician, you or me?" the old voice chuckled eerily.

"Hmph, the pursuit of Black Magician is always accompanied by the sacrifice of some innocent people. Using ordinary people as shields—isn't this a common tactic used by your Black Magician community to evade various Holy Tower and Knights' Hall?"

"As for those apprentices... although I don't know what kind of people most of them are, magic apprentices who have been raised by you Black Magician will probably be a scourge to the Wizard World in the future!" The righteous and unyielding Willpower Voice rang out once again.

The appearance of this voice caused many surviving Black Wizard Apprentice, including Saine, to turn pale.

Fortunately, things did not turn out the worst.

Another voice broke in, saying, "Senior Romwozi, based on the small group of low-level and Entry-Level Apprentice we rescued earlier, there are still some innocent people among these Black Wizard Apprentice."

"Especially those Entry-Level Apprentice, most of whom are under ten years old. They are the true victims of these Black Magician' persecution in the Underdark, and we, as Holy Tower Magician, have a duty to help them!"

The appearance of this sound was like heavenly music.

Regardless of what the Formal Black Wizard on the other side of the Space Channel thought, the Black Wizard Apprentice on this Saine's side the Yellow Sand World couldn't help but be moved by what they heard.

Are all the Holy Tower Magician on the surface of the body good people who uphold human rights and the interests of ordinary people?

Because they live in the Underground World year-round, they are isolated from news, and the Black Magician intentionally block information from the outside world.

Therefore, the vast majority of Black Wizard Apprentice are unclear about the Surface World realm and what the Holy Tower organizations are all about.

Perhaps only when he returns to the Surface World and personally learns about these Holy Tower organizations will Saine be able to make the most accurate judgment.

And now... thanks to the advice of another Holy Tower Magician, the wave of wind Fire Element that filled the Space Channel has indeed lessened considerably.

At that moment, the senior brother's voice suddenly came from the Crystal Ball in Saine's arms. "Quickly, activate the Element Pearl! This is our only chance to escape the Yellow Sand World!"
