Leo opened the window and looked up at the sky above the academy. It seemed that Roderick, who had just received news of the war, was angrily issuing a declaration of war to the entire academy, announcing the arrival of war.
If a wizard were unaware of the inside story, they might really think it was a sudden war, an unprovoked invasion by two evil academies.
But the wizards who knew the inside story knew that the declaration of war was just a formality; the war had already begun, and they had clashed countless times in secret.
All the wizards, including their Wizard Apprentice, were busy with numerous tasks. Most courses had been suspended, with only a few continuing, including Leo's Elemental Knowledge course.
The classroom that once held a thousand students now only has a few dozen. Perhaps because Tao Mia was personally selected by Leo as the class representative, the academy has not assigned her any tasks and has allowed her to maintain her original lifestyle.
Leo seemed oblivious to the fact that the number of students in his class had dwindled to only one-twentieth of what it used to be, and continued to lecture on knowledge that he didn't know if they could understand.
The war seemed to have nothing to do with Leo. Even though he was an attentive student in class yesterday, he was dead and mutilated today. Leo still maintained the frequency of three classes a week.
Without their playmates, the Yaoyao Wizard Apprentice, Yao Yao, started gathering information everywhere. She then returned to Leo and vividly recounted how several wizards from the Undying Body Academy had died that day, who they were, and when they had encountered them.
Where have the two opposing wizarding academies captured this time, and how many wizards have died?
There are hundreds of such messages every day.
As Yaoyao from the Shadow World, Yao Yao has become busy again, like the most dedicated paparazzi, able to be seen anywhere in the academy.
As for Benji, he had stopped going out two years before the war began, staying by Leo's side and protecting Leo every step of the way. Although Leo's actual combat strength was higher than his, Benji believed that the most important meaning of a combat partner was to protect their master's safety.
If his master doesn't need his protection, then he has no reason to exist.
Looking at the stubborn Benji, Leo knew that his inner worries had not been completely eliminated; he feared being abandoned because he was no longer of use.
Seeing this, Leo let him stay with her.
That evening, Leo was still busy recording the knowledge in his head when suddenly his ears twitched. All four wizard pens stopped simultaneously, and his face immediately darkened.
At the same time, Yao Yao Yaoyao wildly somewhere, appeared on Leo's shoulder, opening her mouth as if to say something.
"No need to say anything, I know everything. You're really bold, coming again and again. Aren't you afraid of dying?"
" Benji, you stay home."
Leo, his face ashen, gave the order, then vanished instantly with the Godslaying Staff in hand.
Shadow Walking, with a maximum distance of 6400 meters per step, Leo's figure appeared high in the sky outside the Undying Body Wizard Academy in just eight steps.
In the darkness, with the Godslaying Wizard Robe concealing his presence and Leo's Shadow Talent, he seemed to blend perfectly into the night.
Below Leo, a wizard was flying stealthily at low altitude, carrying two Wizard Apprentice in his arms, completely unaware of Leo's appearance.
Yaoyao also looked down at the wizard who was flying silently. Body Refinement Wizard generally didn't wear wizard robes, so it was impossible to tell which academy he belonged to.
Although he concealed his aura well, it was probably because he had just left the gates of the Undying Body Academy that he became slightly careless, causing his aura to leak out. This was a Level Two Body Refinement Wizard.
As for the two Wizard Apprentice he was holding, one was Tao Mia, the class representative personally chosen by Leo, and the other was Leo didn't recognize.
Leo's footsteps were light, his body leaving afterimages as he floated above the wizard who had just swaggered out of the Undying Body Academy, his figure following him like a shadow.
A cold gaze was fixed on him, as if he were a dead man!
Suddenly, the wizard below hesitated for a moment, then quickly flew towards the ground and landed directly on it. He stiffly turned around and looked up at Leo's position in the sky.
The moment he saw Leo, his pupils trembled rapidly as if in an earthquake. He didn't know how long this wizard had been following him, but he was definitely not someone who had just discovered him.
He had sensed that chilling aura over a considerable distance. Initially, he thought it was due to the loss of an apprentice that had prompted the Undying Body Academy to conduct a comprehensive search of the entire region.
He was very confident in his concealment methods and did not believe he would be discovered.
Only after being stared at by that icy aura, like a snake coiling around his neck, for too long did he belatedly realize that he had been discovered.
Now that he saw the wizard in person, the cold gaze that had been fixed on him for so long was clearly intentional on the wizard's part; otherwise, he wouldn't have known when the wizard would attack him.
"... Mmm mmm..."
When the wizard who had infiltrated the Undying Body Academy multiple times saw Leo, the two Wizard Apprentice he was holding also saw Leo.
Tao Mia saw her most familiar teacher, but she couldn't move her hands or feet, nor could she speak. She could only stare wide-eyed and desperately make muffled sounds.
The other Wizard Apprentice was also unable to move, but upon seeing Leo, he made the same sound as Tao Mia, as if begging Leo to save them.
"You've infiltrated the Undying Body Wizard Academy three times and kidnapped four Wizard Apprentice. I didn't want to get involved, since I'm just a contracted teacher, but you shouldn't have kidnapped my class representative,"
"If one day it gets out that I can't even protect my own class representative, I wonder how many wizards will laugh at me."
"So... have you decided how you want to die?"
Leo exuded no aura, but his cold, ruthless eyes stared directly at the wizard who had repeatedly captured people right under his nose, giving him a chilling feeling as if a knife was held to his throat.
His powerful physical instincts, honed by his Body Refinement Wizard, gave him a premonition that if he didn't flee, he would die instantly when facing this man wielding a staff and clearly Elemental Wizard.
He's no match for the enemy in a head-on confrontation!!!
"Since you're a contracted teacher, I'll let your class representative go, and you can just pretend you didn't see me, okay?"
As he spoke, he actually placed Tao Mia and another Wizard Apprentice on the ground, stretched out his hands to indicate that he had no weapons, and then took small steps backward.
Body Refinement Wizard not carrying a weapon is like Elemental Wizard not carrying their staff; it's a sign of weakness, an expression of their unwillingness to fight.
His gaze fell on Leo, and when he saw that Leo really didn't make a move, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
What an innocent Elemental Wizard! This must be the kind of academic wizard who has never experienced an expedition or witnessed the brutality of a battlefield!
No wonder he forgot what Elemental Wizard should do when facing Body Refinement Wizard.
Body Refinement Wizard's burst damage is far greater than that of Elemental Wizard. In a fight between the two, the Elemental Wizard needs to maintain distance!
How lucky! After being discovered, I still managed to encounter such a naive wizard. Today, I can not only capture a group of apprentices, but also gain the merit of killing a Official Wizard!
He slowly retreated in small steps, seemingly afraid of Leo, but his back was heaving slightly, as if a great dragon was awakening.
Suddenly he stopped, opened his mouth wide, and was about to let out a low roar from deep in his throat.
" Body Refinement Wizard, Second Level..."
His Bloodline Power erupted instantly, releasing all his hidden pressure. Just as he was about to activate his second layer of Bloodline Power and launch a surprise attack on Leo with his peak strength,
High in the sky Leo calmly extended his finger and flicked it lightly at him. No elemental fluctuations were observed, nor was any magic cast.
The Body Refinement Wizard, who intended to use his dual Bloodline to launch a sneak attack on Leo, instantly formed a large sphere centered on his chest.
As if it had a mind of its own, its limbs and head twisted and clung to its chest.
In Tao Mia's terrified eyes,
The powerful Level Two Body Refinement Wizard, whom they had never seen before and who had stolen them from the Undying Body Academy, almost crushed her heart the moment he unleashed his oppressive aura.
But now, this incredibly powerful Body Refinement Wizard, in the hands of her teacher, whose name was so low-key that no one knew him, was directly compressed into a sphere.
The cracking sounds of bones being forcibly twisted and shattering, the popping sounds of blood vessels bursting—this powerful Level Two Body Refinement Wizard was compressed into a large ball of flesh without even uttering a scream.
And within the span of a single breath, this large ball of flesh was forcibly compressed again, until finally the entire person was compressed to the size of only a head.
Strangely, throughout the entire process, although all his blood vessels burst, not a single drop of blood spurted out. All the blood was compressed to the surface of the fleshy ball, and this extreme compression made the density of the fleshy ball unimaginable.
Leo reached out and, out of Tao Mia's and the others' sight, a small black ball appeared in Leo's hand.
Leo looked at his Gravity Domain with satisfaction. He had found another way to attack: instead of fully deploying the Gravity Domain Gravity Domain, he would form it into a ball and strike his opponent's body using Shadow Jump technique.
The immense Gravity that erupts in an instant can twist and forcefully suck an enemy into a ball of flesh, instantly shattering all the tissues and internal organs, resulting in immediate death.
Just like this Level Two Body Refinement Wizard in front of me, he was killed without even the slightest resistance.
