The Lord of Ashes

"No!" Senior apprentice Mark's unwilling cry echoed inside and outside the challenge stage.

"Clang!" A clear metallic sound appeared immediately.

Because of the covering elemental strike of the advanced magic group explosion, most of the mid-level and low-level apprentices who were challenging the battle outside the stage could not see what was happening specifically.

However, the limited number of senior apprentices showed expressions of surprise and shock.

Apprentice battles of this level are indeed rare.

And putting themselves in their shoes, they had to admit that neither the mass explosion technique nor the Eye of the Sun magic seemed to be something they could easily resist.

Not to mention these two top advanced magics, even the hand of flame that Mark released before was not ordinary.

Not to mention the amazement and shock in the expressions of the apprentices, as the fire waves dissipated, the situation on the challenge stage finally became clear.

The person who appeared in front of Thain at this time was the yellow-robed magician who was responsible for guarding the challenge stage.

The high-level magic flame knife was blocked by an earth wall by this official magician, who was an earth elementalist.

But what is surprising is that Thain's position seems to be wrong.

He did not appear within the range of the earth element shield bombarded by the group explosion technique, but stood diagonally behind Mark very strangely.

No wonder Mark was so excited and unbelievable when he suddenly appeared and released the advanced magic of the Flame Knife.

"The winner this time is Thane." The yellow-robed magician announced first.

Immediately afterwards, the official magician showed an expression of approval on his face and said: "It's really surprising that you would choose to rush forward when faced with Mark's powerful group explosion attack."

"Aren't you worried about dying directly under the firebird cover of the group explosion technique? You know, in that case, it is usually difficult for me to save you in time." The yellow-robed magician shook his head and said.

As a formal magician, with his mental strength and dynamic observation ability, he naturally saw clearly the decision made by Thane at the moment when the mass explosion technique came.

Faced with the yellow-robed magician's question, Thane was not arrogant and simply replied: "After defeating my earth element shield, his group explosion technique must have some damage blind spots."

"Including the Firebird behind, it will take a millisecond to fill in."

"This period of time is my opportunity. I don't think I will die in the frontal impact of the mass explosion. Instead, charging forward is the lowest cost." Thain replied.

Thain's answer made Mark, who was very close to him at this time, reveal a look of shock and despair.

He did lose, not only in magic, but also in tactics and courage.

Losing color to Thane.

The yellow-robed magician shouted "Okay!"

"As an apprentice, you grasp opportunities very well, and you are not afraid of danger. You even have the courage to risk your life."

"Not bad, not bad! You have an official mentor now, right?"

"Haha, I'm very optimistic about your performance in the Regional Holy Tower Academy War eight years later!" the yellow-robed magician said with a smile.

The yellow-robed magician's approval and Thain's resounding reply just now both prove who is the final winner of this apprentice battle.

In addition to the 17th position on the Mark Academy's strength list, which will be replaced by Thain.

Next, it will also represent Thain's fame in the Holy Tower Academy, and at the end of this month, he will receive an additional ranking reward from the academy.

With the fame and practical benefits gained, it seemed that Thain was well-earned for spending so much effort to challenge Mark on Taiwan.

At this moment, only Mark, who appeared behind the official magician Irene, looked more like a loser.

Facing the gaze of Magician Erin and the onlookers of many apprentices around him, Mark was so proud that he couldn't hold his head up.

"Hmph, let's see if you, little guy, are still arrogant in front of your brothers and sisters."

"If the image of your recent defeat is sent back to the principality..." Magician Erin hummed and smiled at Mark.

"No, grandma..." Mark couldn't help but be surprised and couldn't help begging.

Acting cool in front of his younger brothers and sisters was this guy's favorite thing in the past.

Including he also enjoys the admiring looks of his younger brothers and sisters.

If the news that he was defeated at Holy Tower Academy spread back to the principality, he would probably not be able to go back in the next few years.

Because in the eyes of his younger brothers and sisters, he is undoubtedly the strongest apprentice in the Holy Tower of Origin of Blue.

Especially those younger brothers and sisters who are only a few years old and have not yet met the admission requirements of Jizhiyuan Holy Tower.

I have always regarded Mark as the strongest and regarded him as a learning target and role model.

The conversation between Mark and Irene the magician did not avoid Thain and the official magician in yellow robes next to them.

After hearing Mark call Magician Erin his grandmother, Thane sighed and showed a slight expression that it was indeed true.

He calmly put away the acid cane in his hand. In fact, he had already guessed it since Mark showed the mass explosion technique and the magician Irene appeared to save the scene for the first time.

I just didn't expect that Magician Erin, who looked so young, had already reached the point of becoming a grandmother.

In fact, Mark is not Eileen’s biological grandson, he is just Eileen

Just my sister's grandson.

And they are indeed from the same principality family.

Magician Irene is only 76 years old this year. Among official magicians, Irene is definitely the youngest.

Including the time when she was promoted to an official magician. Only sixteen years have passed since her breakthrough.

The powerful source of life and magical means of official magicians can easily help them stay young forever.

Thane's mentor Moses lived for more than 800 years, and he also looked like a middle-aged man with no signs of aging at all.

This battle between senior apprentices ends here.

The victory or defeat is indeed a matter of concern, but as the parties involved in the challenge, the two of them should deal with their wounds as soon as possible.

Facing the flaming knife released by Thane in his final blow, Mark did not suffer any obvious injuries thanks to the rescue of the official magician in yellow robe.

But the previous puncture injury to his right arm caused by the Eye of the Sun must be dealt with as soon as possible.

In fact, Thain was also slightly injured by Mark's mass explosion. One-third of his magic robe was broken at this time, and there was a certain amount of flame burns under the broken magic robe.

After the battle, Thane did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked up to the official magician Irene and said respectfully: "Thank you, Magician Irene, for coming to the rescue at the last moment!"

"Haha, with your courage and keen judgment, even if I don't take action, you should be fine."

"Go back and have a good rest for a while. Also, do you need me to help you deal with the fire element burns on your body?" Magician Erin replied with a smile.

"No need to trouble Master, I have potions and restorative props there." Thain replied.

Erin nodded, she knew that Thane had the Holy Light Badge.

For an injury of that level, the Holy Light Badge would probably be able to heal it in one go.

After saying goodbye to Magician Erin, Thain left the challenge stage directly.

Seeing Thain's figure gradually disappearing, Mark, who was behind Magician Erin, couldn't help but said angrily: "What, it turns out it was grandma and you rescued him!"

"If you don't take action, grandma, even if I lose this time, he will definitely not be able to get a favor, at least he will be seriously injured..."

Mark's angry shouting made Eileen, who had a very good temper, unable to listen and scolded: "Shut up!"

"If you think the splash damage from the explosion of two firebirds can seriously injure a senior apprentice, I suggest you go back and study magic first."

"Don't you know that you just walked between death twice?" Magician Eileen glared at this useless grandson.
