After saying that, Odin left, vanishing without a trace and leaving not even a shadow behind.

The smile that had remained on The Ancient One's face instantly froze.

If Kamar-Taj could not keep him, could Asgard?

But who was worthy of the Allfather coming to find her personally?

Did Kamar-Taj have such a heaven-defying genius?

Zhang Yang had only half believed that so-called Fear Magic.

Even after Wong demonstrated it once, Zhang Yang still felt it was somewhat unreliable.

However, after returning and pondering it for an entire night,

Zhang Yang understood.

He understood so thoroughly that he felt his entire being had ascended.

Kamar-Taj truly deserved to be called a sacred land of magic!

Fear Magic, which sounded like complete nonsense, actually existed!

Zhang Yang woke early. As soon as dawn broke, he got up and planned to head to the Kamar-Taj Library to find Wong.

However, before he could even leave the dormitory, Kamar-Taj's alarm sounded.

Kamar-Taj rarely sounded its alarm.

Unless the world was ending, the alarm simply could not possibly go off.

Berkeley had mentioned this during their very first lesson.

Of course, Zhang Yang had not taken it to heart.

After all, Kamar-Taj supposedly had not sounded the alarm in half a century. Who would have thought that only about a week after he arrived, the damned alarm would go off?

It could not be anything good.

Zhang Yang's heart skipped a beat. He put on his sorcerer's robes and hurried toward the training grounds.

By then, nearly all the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj had gathered at the training grounds.

As the sorcerer currently in charge of Kamar-Taj, Wong naturally stood at the front.

For a moment, everyone was gripped by panic.

No one knew what had happened.

But they knew it was definitely not something good.

The training grounds were even more bustling than usual. The sorcerers chattered among themselves, every face wearing an expression of fear.

"What happened? Why is Kamar-Taj making such a big deal out of this?"

"I don't know. It definitely isn't anything good."

"Are we going to die? The enemies we sorcerers usually deal with are definitely not ordinary people."

Everyone was anxious.

The unrest was intense.

That was the current state of the training grounds.

Especially since even the usually amiable Wong wore a grave expression, his hands clasped behind his back. One could imagine what the other sorcerers were thinking.

They were both afraid and worried.

Naturally, most of the discussion came from the Apprentices.

Though the sorcerers were also nervous, they did not say much.

Just then, Wong suddenly spoke. "A wormhole has appeared in New York. Alien creatures are invading Earth in large numbers. The three Sanctums don't have enough manpower, so we must go provide support. The Sorcerer Supreme said our task is to help people evacuate. As for anything else, do not interfere. The Avengers will handle it."

A wormhole in New York?

Alien creatures invading Earth?

The Avengers?

Zhang Yang froze. Sure enough, whatever he feared would come to pass.

He had barely started learning magic. The Ancient One had not even come to teach him yet, and aliens were already invading?

"I will open a Portal and take everyone to New York now. Don't worry too much. Treat this as a training exercise. Apprentices will form groups of three and be led by Apprentice Sorcerers or higher-ranked sorcerers." Wong issued his orders. With a casual wave, he opened a Portal and began calling names.

Though Wong looked somewhat grave, he did not seem anxious.

He was still able to assign personnel and issue orders with ease, as though an alien invasion was not as terrifying as imagined.

That left Zhang Yang somewhat bewildered.

At the same time, Zhang Yang's name was called.

"Berkeley, Zhang Yang, Aili, one group. Head to the vicinity of Stark Tower in New York immediately," Wong assigned.

Zhang Yang nodded and found Berkeley and Aili according to the assigned group.

"Senior Brother Berkeley." Zhang Yang greeted Berkeley with a bow.

He also smiled politely at Aili beside him.

Seeing Zhang Yang, Berkeley nodded and patted his shoulder reassuringly. "Don't be nervous. There won't be any danger. We're only there to save people."

After saying that, Berkeley walked over to Wong with a mournful expression and said, "Arch-Sorcerer, you should at least let me go with the other sorcerers. The pressure of leading two newcomers is huge."

Wong rolled his eyes at Berkeley. "It isn't one leading two. It's two leading one!"

Berkeley lowered his head awkwardly and coughed lightly.

Then he passed through the Portal.

Aili saluted Wong and passed through the Portal as well.

Zhang Yang followed close behind. Just as he was about to leave, Wong stopped him.

"Zhang Yang, Earth is dangerous. Aliens and the Other-Dimensional Space are both eager to invade Earth. Humanity is in danger. In the future, perhaps Earth will need you to protect it. I believe in you."

Looking at Zhang Yang, Wong said earnestly, "If Earth is gone, then neither you nor I will have a home to stand in. No matter how powerful someone is, they still need a place to call home. I hope you will always regard Kamar-Taj as your own home."

After saying that, Wong pointed at the Portal. "Go on. Be careful. Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Looking at the faint smile on Wong's face,

A wave of warmth rose from the depths of Zhang Yang's heart and enveloped his entire body.

Chapter 30

New York. Near Stark Tower.

A beam of blue light shot from Stark Tower into the sky, forcefully tearing open a massive gash in the heavens.

Dense masses of alien troops flew out from the opening in the sky like a disturbed hornet's nest.

At that moment, New York had fallen.

The world had fallen.

The streets were a complete mess.

There was barely a patch of open ground left on the roads to stand on.

Wreckage covered the ground, along with corpses and scattered parts.

Aliens flew overhead.

Lasers of every color flashed through the city, while explosions rang out one after another.

New York had become Hell.

"Oh, my God... this scene is still a little bloody."

After stepping out of the Portal, Berkeley could not help muttering as he looked at the sight before him.

It was his first time venturing into the outside world for training and his first time witnessing an alien invasion. Berkeley could not stop himself from trembling.

Fear spread through his entire body in that instant.

Everything before his eyes was real—naked, exposed corpses!

There were also severed human arms and thighs, along with the pungent stench of blood lingering in the air.

As an Apprentice Sorcerer, Berkeley felt that he had endured far too much.

Especially with Zhang Yang and Aili following behind him.

As their senior brother,

Even though Berkeley could not stop himself from trembling all over, he still forced himself to pull it together and show them his best side.

Putting on his Sling Ring, Berkeley raised his hand and cast the Rings of Raggadorr.

"Hey, you two, activate the Rings of Raggadorr!" Once he was ready, Berkeley spoke to Zhang Yang and Aili.

Just then, an alien flew toward Berkeley.

Berkeley's heart lurched. Frightened stiff, he stood rooted to the spot and could not react for a long while.

At that moment, Aili reacted swiftly and rushed forward. She leaped into the air and slammed the alien's back with the Rings of Raggadorr in her hand.

The alien lost control and crashed into a nearby building.

Boom!

Sparks flew everywhere.

Berkeley was completely dumbfounded.

No wonder Wong said it was two leading one!

It had to be said, Aili was truly skilled!

After taking care of one alien, Aili showed no great emotional reaction. She merely walked over to Zhang Yang and said,

"Hello, my name is Aili. I've studied fighting, boxing, Sanda, and Taekwondo. Oh, right, I also know a little martial arts. You should be very good at martial arts. From the way you look, you should be Asian."

Although Aili spoke casually,

Who knew how long she had prepared for that introduction?

Ever since Aili had set Zhang Yang as her target long ago, she had quietly kept an eye on him.

She simply had never had a chance to approach him.

Then Zhang Yang had been promoted to Apprentice Sorcerer, and Aili had not seen him for quite some time.

Who would have thought that during this venture into the outside world, she would be assigned to the same group as Zhang Yang?

Who knew how excited Aili was?

Once she got excited, she became a little more talkative.

But at the same time, Aili had brought up Zhang Yang's awkward point.

Martial arts?

Zhang Yang really did not know any.

But...

Zhang Yang could not help walking over to Berkeley and whispering in his ear, "Senior Brother Berkeley, isn't Kamar-Taj focused on close-combat magic? Why haven't you taught me things like fighting?"

They called it close-combat magic, after all.
