Chapter 48

Therefore, falling into the hands of a mage while he was still alive was definitely more painful than dying.

Adam knew that these Field Rats, whose level of magic was still stuck in the ancient era, had some strange tricks that modern mages did not understand. They did not give Clark a chance to get close at all, and once again trapped him from afar.

Clark knew that he had no desire to escape, and instead gained courage. Since he could not escape or defeat them, he would make them pay the price. He made up his mind to find a chance to drag Adam down to hell with him, or leave a mark on Adam's body.

At this moment, the apprentices of Bran Town appeared.

In Riley's heart, Adam was a deserter who had left Bran Town at a critical moment of life and death. Now that she saw Adam trying to steal the credit from them when they had forced the Anti-Mage to a dead end, she could no longer sit still. She immediately rushed out of the runic barrier in anger, and the Wind Magic that she had not mastered in the past was instantly mastered. She fiercely flew towards Adam.

"Stay away from him, you coward!"

Riley was too fast, so fast that Terry could not react in time, and so fast that William and the others could not stop her. However, other than William, everyone else had the same thought as Riley, because Adam did not look like he had gone through a battle at all. His clothes were still spotless, and there were no wounds on his body. The only difference was that the egg looked different.

Adam raised his head to look at Riley, and decided to ignore her. He continued to cast the Psychokinetic Spell into chains under his control, binding Clark layer by layer.

Riley was beyond angry. She could not believe that someone could be so shameless, and she could not understand how someone like this could be so powerful. Before she landed, she waved her staff, and a water arrow was shot towards the ground. Her remaining rationality did not allow her to attack Adam directly, but she could still give him a warning.

"He won't dare to kill me here, or the academy will not let him go." Riley thought in her heart, and cast another spell. The two spells hit Adam's Psychokinetic Spell, and almost broke it.

Clark sneered. He knew that his chance had come. Taking advantage of the Psychokinetic Spell, he desperately gathered all his remaining strength to regain his mobility, and rushed towards Adam.

Adam's expression turned cold. There were many stupid people in the world, but as long as they did not stop him, he would not kill them. However, Riley's actions had angered him. Adam formed a fireball, and prepared to teach Riley a lesson.

However, Riley's fireball did not even reach her head. Clark crushed a gray crystal ball, and then roared madly, "Die! Then, accept the wrath of the Ao Mu family! " Then, a shrill scream that didn't sound human came from his mouth. Negative energy erupted abnormally, and Clark's body was disintegrated like a mosaic. His spirit and soul were torn apart, and grey energy shockwaves spread out indiscriminately in all directions with him as the center.

"Stop!"

"Get out of there!"

Two roars rang out in succession. The first one came from William. He instinctively did not believe that Adam was a deserter. He was more willing to believe that Adam was still unscathed after the battle. Otherwise, he would not be able to get past the hurdle in his heart, because that would mean that his following was meaningless.

However, if it was the second situation, Riley would be in danger. Adam would not show any mercy.

The second roar was accompanied by a strong magic shockwave. The wind formed into a tornado and attacked Riley and Adam. It was Mage Black, who had rushed over from Moldova Tower to help.

With his knowledge, he could easily sense Clark's magic system. He also knew how much damage an apprentice who practiced negative energy magic could cause to an ordinary apprentice.

He did not know who Riley was, and he did not care about her. However, Adam was his disciple, and Corestal personally asked him to save him.

In the distance, the Runic Boundary of Bran Town was on the verge of collapsing. Fortunately, the Runic Boundary had managed to block the impact for a moment. Dense runes surged around Wizard Blake's body. Half of the elements in his body had turned into the embodiment of Qi, which instantly descended and blocked the impact of the negative energy. Even so, the apprentices in Bran Town still fell to the ground in a daze. Their eyes were lifeless, and their spirits and souls were filled with negative emotions.

Riley, who was the closest to Bran Town, was hit directly. She could not resist at all. Tears of blood flowed out of her eyes. At this moment, she felt that her life was full of despair. Only death was the ultimate release. The feeling of suicide was very strong. Just as she was about to take action, her soul could not bear the burden and shattered.

After saving Bran Town, Mage Black rushed towards Adam. He could not help but recall his disciple's words.

After receiving the order from the tower, Mage Black told Corestal about Adam's whereabouts. Corestal begged Mage Black to save Adam. At that time, Mage Black asked, "Do you like him?"

Love was an intense emotion. Apprentices who had not experienced the baptism of time and had not experienced a change in mindset would easily be trapped in love, wasting their time in vain. Wizard Blake did not wish for his disciples to be like this, because as long as they were promoted to an official wizard, they would realize that love was actually just a small adjustment in the long years, not worth remembering.

However, Corestal's answer was unexpected. "No, teacher. Love is too low level. Adam was the one who changed my mind. He was the one who made me understand the truth that would have taken me a long time to understand. He is my goal. I want to surpass him. I don't want him to die like this. "

Mage Black was pleased with his disciple's resolution. Hearing his disciple's words, he could not help but think of Wollaston. Wollaston was his companion back then, but now, he could only look up to him. It was also because of Wollaston that Mage Black was able to pursue the path of a mage with such determination.

The grey energy drowned Adam. Mage Black knew that this was the explosion of despair from tens of thousands of people. This kind of negative impact could not be withstood without the protection of a mage's armor.

The shockwave disappeared in a flash. Adam was still standing in the same place, holding the balloon that suddenly had a strong sense of existence in his hand.

Clark's desperate attack was indeed extraordinary. Part of the negative energy that rushed towards Adam was absorbed by the balloon, while the other part effectively entered his body. His logical thinking was working frantically, and it took a lot of mental power and computing power to completely suppress the negative energy.

However, Adam did not feel good. There was a mysterious energy that he could not get rid of, and it was constantly sending out waves to the outside world. This was definitely not a good thing.

This time, the balloon did not completely absorb the negative energy. In fact, it only dared to rob a small part of it. Adam guessed that it was because the purity and level of the negative energy was higher than the balloon's absorption limit. However, this seemed to be enough. The balloon was constantly expanding and contracting.

Adam raised his head and saw Mage Black. He greeted him in surprise, "It's a pleasure to meet you, respected Mage Black. What are you doing? "

Mage Black's appearance was very shocking. The elementalized part of his body was rapidly transforming into a physical body. His whole body was like a whirlpool absorbing the Ether in the air. His every move was surrounded by air currents.

Mage Black did not answer his doubts. Instead, he said in a serious tone, "Death Mark."

Adam was stunned. "What's a Death Mark?"

"The Anti-Mage apprentice just now used his soul to curse you before he died. Your existence has been known. Any mage who practices the same meditation technique as him will know that you are his murderer. Within a certain range, they can even clearly know your location. "

Adam was shocked. This was a very troublesome matter. Clark had a family behind him, and there were official mages. If they really wanted to kill Adam at all costs, it was not impossible for them to take the risk and come to the Mage Continent.

Adam was no match for an official mage at the moment, even if it was an Anti-Mage who practiced negative energy magic.

Mage Black saw his worry and shook his head. "I don't have any good ideas. This kind of mark, unless it's done by someone in the Hyperdimensional, or offset by the soul transformation when becoming an official mage, there's no other way to remove it."

Adam was silent for a moment. At this point, he could only accept it. Fortunately, he was still in the Mage Continent. At least, he was safe for the time being.

Mage Black looked at Adam's hand and asked, "Devil's larva, where did you get it?"

Adam came to a sudden realization. So, this wasn't an egg of an Abyss creature. Instead, it was a creature from another plane, a demon's larva that specialized in harvesting souls. It was no wonder that it could resist negative energy and devour tortured souls.

"This is a gift from Master Victor The Mage. I thought it was the egg of an Abyss creature, but I didn't expect …"

Devil's use of energy was not as good as Abyss creatures, and their bodies were much weaker. However, Devils were creatures of order. They followed the contract and obtained soul growth through trading with intelligent creatures from lower planes. They would strictly abide by the terms of the contract. Of course, they would also leave behind many traps.

Mage Black did not suspect anything. He only thought that Adam survived by relying on the larva of the Devil. But in any case, it was a good thing that Adam survived. Even if Corestal was excluded, the Wizard Tower would not want such a genius to fall.

The two of them walked towards Bran Town. No one cared about Riley who died tragically. This was normal. Even if Riley did not die in the explosion, the academy would not keep such a stupid apprentice.

Adam asked softly, "Honorable Mage Black, I heard that Anti-Mage needs the negative energy and soul power of humans to level up. But Clark already has so much negative energy. Why did he come to the Mage Continent and take the risk?"

After the battle, this was the question that troubled Adam the most. It was definitely not something that could be explained by Clark's stupidity.

Mage Black glanced at Adam and explained, "The crystal ball gathers the negative energy collected by others …"
