Chapter 100: Chapter 94: Apprentice War (End)_2
He said, “Revenge!”
“Revenge!!”
“Revenge!!!”
…
The situation at the White Wizard resource point was accurately conveyed to Richard by Wuni.
Wuni’s flying altitude and the spells inherent to its body were enough to avoid detection by most Wizard Apprentices.
“The battle is finally about to begin,” Richard muttered to himself.
The war was finally coming to an end.
“Gather! All Apprentices assemble!”
Richard stepped out of the room and quickly gathered all the Apprentices at the resource point.
“Fellow Apprentices, the White Wizard Apprentices are about to launch the final battle!”
Richard flew in the sky, his gaze calmly sweeping over the Black Wizard Apprentices on the ground.
“At the White Wizard’s side, they have shouted the slogan of revenge, vowing to shatter us into slag.
I also want to shout a slogan, but unfortunately for us Black Wizards, we are well-accustomed to death.
So I thought of a new slogan.
Survive!
Fellow Apprentices!
We understand the value of life better than those White Wizards grown in greenhouses; who among us hasn’t climbed to where we are now over the bodies of others?
Our war has no other purpose, we only want to survive, to do anything to survive!”
Richard swung his fist, his voice echoing like a magic spell throughout the resource point.
Soon, the ground’s Black Wizard Apprentices were infected by Richard’s fervor, they too started to roar. As if venting their dissatisfaction with the world, their grievances against the Academy, and their loathing for fate.
They were a group of ghouls, having lived to this moment by relying on the corpses of others.
They had no intention of throwing away the lives they had struggled so hard to obtain!
“Survive!”
“Survive!!”
“Survive!!!”
…
The war had begun.
As per the plan, Richard dispatched ten Alchemy School Apprentices to detonate the traps within the Magic Arrays.
These Apprentices wore the best Stealth Magic Clothes, all to hide from the magical pet scouts of the White Wizard Army.
For this, Richard, the extravagant Alchemy Apprentice, had drawn up contracts with the Apprentices who provided their Magic Clothes.
Should their Magic Clothes be damaged in this war, Richard would personally make another set of Stealth Magic Clothes for them after the war ended.
The White Wizard Army at the resource point split into two factions, one with fewer numbers bypassed the resource point where Richard was and prepared to besiege the Academy resource points of Void and Annihilation, and incidentally take over those two vacant resource points.
The larger group marched toward Richard’s resource point.
“A sizable number indeed.”
Richard observed the White Wizard Army on the ground, the forces coming to besiege him amounted to a staggering sixteen hundred.
And the White Wizard Camp, after the first day’s great battle, followed by the attacks of the Black Wizards, was left with just over twenty-seven hundred.
The White Wizard Army formed up in battle lines, neatly surging towards the resource point.
A large number of magic pets were released to scout ahead for ambushes.
“We’ve entered the trap zone,” Richard murmured.
For months the Black Wizard Camp had not been idle, with Richard arranging for the Alchemy Apprentices to set up countless Magic Array traps in the dense forest. These devices individually didn’t pack much of a punch, but chained together, they were definitely sufficient to give the White Wizards trouble.
Boom!
The Magic Array traps detonated, blasting a few White Wizard Apprentices into pieces instantly.
These Apprentices, sent to trigger the traps, were each an expert at hide-and-seek; the White Wizard Army’s magic pet forces failed completely to find their traces.
“Traps, halt the advancement!”
Orey issued the command, and the whole White Wizard Army stopped in the thick woods.
“Trigger-based traps?” Orey’s lips curved into a cold smile.
“On my order, forward, carpet-style casting, prepare the Fireball Technique!”
“Fire!”
Instantly, hundreds of fireballs fell on the woods in front of the White Wizard Army, and in a moment, the entire forest became a sea of flames, the Magic Array traps set by the Alchemy Apprentices detonating or becoming ineffective.
“These are a bit troublesome,” Richard remarked, watching the now wiser White Wizard Army, feeling somewhat regretful.
Had he known it would end up like this, he wouldn’t have placed so many traps in the woods.
The White Wizard Army continued advancing, stepping on the charred earth after the spell bombardment, slowly pushing toward the resource point.
Without the Magic Array trap, Richard had no other good ways to drain their resources, he could only wait for the White Wizard Army to enter his firing range.
“Bring it over.” Richard gestured behind him, and two Apprentices came to his side with a black cylinder striped with silver lines.
He was now on the city walls, with close to four hundred Black Wizard Apprentices evenly distributed among the various defense measures.
“Boss, are we using it now?” one Apprentice asked nervously.
These days, following Doug, they had been working on Richard’s secret weapon in a corner of the resource point.
Thus, they had a deeper understanding of these weapons than other Wizard Apprentices.
They knew exactly how terrifying the weapons they had created were.
“No rush, wait for the White Wizard Army to get closer.” Richard said nonchalantly.
After a while, the White Wizard Army had advanced within three kilometers of the resource point.
“Boss, is the distance enough now?” inquired the Apprentice again.
Richard nodded, “Enough, let’s test fire a few dummy rounds first, to calibrate the position.”
“Yes!” The Apprentice shouted excitedly.
…
In the dense forest, the White Wizard Army inched forward with barrages of spells, eradicating any ambush in the face of their firepower.
Suddenly, a black metal block fell from the sky.
“What’s that?”
Defensive Wizards tensely raised their Magic Barriers, blocking the metal block on the outside.
But the metal block showed no signs of activity, devoid of any Magic Fluctuation.
An Apprentice handed the object to Orey for inspection.
“A metal block that fell from the sky?” Orey stared at the metal block before him, puzzled.
With his knowledge, he could not discern the use of this object.
“Balto, take a look.”
Balto took the metal block and scanned it with his Magic Equipment.
“Apart from its odd shape, it’s just a plain metal block,” Balto concluded.
“This is really strange.” Orey muttered to himself, “Why would the Black Wizards launch a metal block that’s completely useless?”
“Launch…”
Hearing this word, a glimmer of insight flashed through Balto’s mind.
He suddenly remembered seeing something of a similar shape in his mentor’s books.
“Orey, I have an uncertain idea,” said Balto hesitantly, “The Black Wizards launching this thing might be to calibrate their trajectory.”
“Calibrate their trajectory? Are the Black Wizards using a super long-range Magic Weapon to wear us down?” Orey subconsciously deduced.
“Perhaps…” Balto was a bit uncertain, “But in front of Defensive Wizards, nothing can cause damage from such a distance, except for the Military Department’s strategic magical devices…”
Whoosh—
Another black shell landed on the Defensive Wizards’ Magic Shield, and then… boom!
The black shell instantly transformed into a burst of white light, followed immediately by a deafening explosion.
Boom!
The Defensive Wizards’ Apprentice was instantly turned to nothingness under the shell’s force, and even the blast wave caused many Apprentices to vomit blood and sustain heavy injuries.
“What is this thing!”
Orey watched in shock as all this unfolded. Weren’t the Defensive Wizards supposed to have activated their Magic Barriers? How could they still suffer such heavy losses?
But before his shock could subside, another shell fell.
Boom!
This shell differed from the previous one; it contained a small amount of additional material.
As the shell exploded, numerous dark red metal jets sprayed from the explosion’s core, instantly piercing through dozens of Apprentices.
Then came the third, and the fourth!
Shells fell one after another, each with astonishing power.
Under the effect of the Annihilation Bombs, the White Wizard Army was forced to disperse their formation to minimize casualties.
Meanwhile, Orey stood still, staring blankly at everything.

How could such a weapon… appear on a battlefield of Apprentices?
He was not alone with this question. A powerful will descended upon the Secret Realm.
In an instant, it froze the space and time of the entire battlefield, and with a wave of his hand, he gathered in the shells.
Then his voice reached every Apprentice’s ears on the battlefield.
“I am the head of Clear Frost Wizard Academy, Great Wizard Qing Shuang. Due to some accidents, this war has now ceased, and all Apprentices will be teleported out of the Secret Realm in three minutes.”
After that, the powerful will disappeared into the Secret Realm with Richard.
