Weird Wizarding World

Wow——

Showers were falling in drizzle.

The weather on the island is changeable, and the dark clouds last night turned into a short shower near sunrise.

In the hall on the first floor of the central castle.

Colin stood by the window, watching the remains of the ruins outside covered in a hazy mist by the rain.

Thanks to this shower.

The flames ignited in the Wizarding Territory and even Black Rock City gradually extinguished without causing greater damage.

"hiss--"

An apprentice next to him was applying medicine to his wound...burns caused by flames were not as easy to treat as other conventional wounds.

The apprentice's arm was burned and a huge blister was raised. After he popped it, light yellow tissue fluid flowed out...

Around him, there were many wounded people like him.

Some injuries are more serious, some injuries are less serious...

Colin looked away.

After the witch formation's protective shield was broken.

Colin originally thought that they would form a "king vs. king, vs. general" situation with Aman's group of monsters.

They may even stalemate with each other for a while.

But I never thought that the battle would become fierce in an instant...

That moment was the climax and the finale.

That mountainous area is just the stage for Aman and Lapp.

They, apprentices, might not even be considered an audience.

Colin sighed slightly in his heart.

After endless light.

When he came back to his senses from the ruins, all he saw were broken walls and dead and injured apprentices.

In the aftermath of such a battle.

The apprentices are as fragile as those dark red monsters.

He doesn't understand...

What is the meaning of having these apprentices gathered there?

Is it just waiting to be injured by the aftermath of the battle? !

But soon, he shook his head again.

If it develops normally.

These apprentices should wait in the witch formation until the projection of the Lord of Flesh and Thorns disappears, and then go out to deal with the remaining dark red monsters and clean up the battlefield...

But who would have thought that Aman could deceive the defense of the witch formation, so the battle situation suddenly changed.

Colin rubbed the white crystal pendant on his chest through the witch robe and felt inexplicably emotional.

'Blackstone Island is just a prison after all...'

If the sacrifice ceremony of the Flesh and Thorn Cult was not discovered in advance, but was successfully held.

The summoned evil god projection must be stronger!

If it is stronger than the upper limit of what the Lapp wizard can handle...

Then these wizard apprentices, no matter where they hide on the island, will eventually die.

The only way to survive is probably to escape to the sea... although this seems more like a dead end.

‘Perhaps it’s time to buy a boat and learn some necessary witchcraft at sea. ’ Colin thought to himself.

With his current strength, going to sea alone might lead to a narrow escape, but it would no longer be a dead end like when he was an intermediate apprentice.

If you encounter a truly irresistible danger, going to sea is your last hope.

"Colin." Berkeley suddenly came closer, "Wizard Lapp wants to see you."

He looked a little tired, but the witch robe on his body was still clean and tidy.

"Okay." Colin nodded in response, his expression calm and not too surprised.

After cleaning the battlefield and helping rescue the wounded, he went to Berkeley to report the vision he saw before Aman broke into the shield - the monster that sublimated into a red mist and merged into Aman's body, and a touch of golden light mixed in the red mist. .

... Before he could leave the island, the Lapp School and him both prospered and suffered losses.

Such important information should not be concealed.

Berkeley nodded slightly and led him through the apprentices to the end of the hall, passing through the gray-black corridor and arriving at the study at the end.

open the door.

In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the Lapp wizard was standing with his back to them.

Outside the window is a delicate lawn and several lush trees.

It was already approaching sunrise, the sky was slightly dim, the rain had stopped, and a faint trace of rich golden light appeared at the end of the field of vision.

"Teacher Rapp." Berkeley greeted respectfully.

"Teacher Rapp." Colin also greeted.

As the leader of the school, Wizard Lapp is also the common teacher for all of them.

"Yes." Lapu responded slightly and turned around slowly.

Under the gray hood is the face of an ordinary middle-aged man, and his sideburns show that he has white hair.

At this time, his face was unnaturally pale, but the witch robe was intact and no injuries could be seen.

"Describe to me the scene you saw in detail." He walked to the bench behind the desk and sat down, looking at Colin and said.

"Okay, Teacher Rapp." Colin slowly spoke.

The originally dark room gradually became brighter as time went by, and a golden window gradually broke in.

If you look up and through the stained glass window, you can see a golden sun rising from the deep blue sea in the distance.

The night recedes and dawn has arrived.

"Well, I understand."

After listening to his story, Wizard Lapp didn't reveal much emotion, but frowned.

Then he ordered them to leave.

Walk out of the study and into the long corridor.

"Your Excellency Berkeley, I will go back to Black Rock City first." Colin turned to bid farewell to Berkeley.

"Um."

Berkeley nodded slightly and watched Colin gradually walk away along the corridor.

In the study room.

The Lapp wizard sat back on the bench.

The dawn light came through the stained glass window behind him, casting him in shadow.

He sighed slightly, adjusted his sitting posture, and relaxed slightly.

It was also at this time that the traces of nearly three hundred years could be seen in his slightly stooped figure.

He gasped slightly.

The pain from the abdominal wound consumed his little energy.

Wrinkles like vines appeared on his pale face, bags under his eyes drooped, and his forehead was no longer smooth...

In just an instant, he changed from a middle-aged man to an octogenarian old man.

He took a breath, let out a short sigh, held his stomach, and sat up straight.

Those newly created ravines retreated as quickly as an illusion.

He looked like a middle-aged man again, but his complexion was even paler.

Lifting the palm covering his abdomen, Lapu frowned slightly.

The fingers were not stained with blood——

Instead, they were some bloody, slender, bright red meat shreds that were constantly twisting like maggots!

"snort."

Rapp snorted coldly.

A ball of flame appeared out of thin air and instantly burned the shredded meat to charcoal.

Orange flames also appeared on his abdomen, and the slender flesh strands from the wound turned into charcoal.

After doing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, walked out of the shadows, and came to the bright stained glass window.

His face was calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Go through the hall and out of the central castle.

Colin looked calm as he stepped on the rain-soaked gravel road and moved forward unhurriedly.

Tick ​​tock.

Raindrops dripped down the green leaves of the trees nearby and shattered on the ground, and the birds began to chirp.

There is a unique fresh smell after the rain in the air... just like before.

If it weren’t for the reminder of the embers of black building debris that can be seen everywhere.

No one could have imagined that a battle took place here last night that could affect the fate of hundreds of thousands of people on the island.

Arriving at the cliff, Black Rock City at the foot of the mountain came into view.

Gray-black buildings are lined up in rows. If you look closely, you can see that many of them have been burned down and collapsed, leaving only ruins.

However, the ant-like crowds coming and going next to the ruins reduced the sense of depression a lot.

Just when he withdrew his gaze and was about to walk down the mountain.

"Colin."

A voice stopped him.
