Benjamin was somewhat bewildered.
For several days now, elemental fluctuations had been streaming continuously from that direction.
As time passed, the elemental fluctuations grew increasingly violent. Even across such a vast distance, Benjamin could sense that extraordinary, berserk aura.
Since his main purpose in joining this trial had been to develop and test Rune Artifacts, Benjamin had never intended to cooperate with other Wizard Apprentices from the start. Naturally, he had not purchased communication Wizard Artifacts or anything of the sort.
For that reason, he naturally had no idea what exactly was happening over there.
But it was no great problem. If he was curious, he could simply go and see for himself.
After several days of testing, Benjamin was quite confident in the combat power of the Rune Artifacts. He felt that ordinary apprentices should have no way of dealing with him.
If something major was happening over there, it should not be a problem as long as he did not get involved and merely watched the spectacle.
Having made up his mind, Benjamin immediately adjusted his direction and headed toward the source of those fluctuations.
He still maintained a hunter's mindset. As he advanced, he swept the route ahead with alchemy and Analysis Art, gathering any materials that caught his interest.
Just as he neared that area, the corner of his eye caught several bedraggled figures.
They were several Wizard Apprentices, fleeing in a stagger.
Their faces were pale, their wizard robes tattered, and their mana shields flickered erratically like candles guttering in the wind.
Behind them, a Native squad of roughly a hundred men was hot on their heels.
These Natives were equipped with finer armor and weapons, and the enhanced power erupting from within them was even more surging. They were clearly an elite force.
