Ch. 110 - Wrath (2)

True enough, a mage was alerted.

The base of the Tower has become the office for all the senior mages. Since Dean Victor was on an expedition to traverse other realms, another Dean took over the management of the Academy.

At this moment, the mages from Monte Carlo's faces fell.

"Lord Barbara, what is the meaning of this?"

Barbara Julian, the assistant Dean of Moldo, chuckled after hearing the mage's question, "Sir Tim, you scared me! A game must be finished, so let us finish our game of chess."

Tim Page, a Level 3 Mage of Monte Carlo, was playing a board game specially designed for mages with Dean Barbara. He could sense the death of the apprentices, and his anger couldn't be suppressed. Magic surged out violently, wanting to crush both the chess board and Dean Barbara.

"You should know how important Bill and Monica are to us. If they die..." Mage Tim threatened, conjuring a light curtain to show the scene of Bill and Monica escaping.

Dean Barbara's cheerful face turned bored, chucking her chess piece away, "Don't get it twisted -- your apprentices were fighting our dear Adam, he is merely acting in self-defence."

Mage Tim couldn't control his anger, immediately annihilating the chess board out of existence.

"You're saying they started the fight?" Mage Tim bellowed, pointing at Bill and Monica who were attempting to flee. "Your 'Adam' killed more than a dozen of our apprentices with a single move. I bet you didn't even know of the existence of that old man with psychic power!"

Dean Barbara glared at Mage Tim, "So what? Even if I haven't noticed, it isn't under my jurisdiction -- potential is potential, and now that he is dead, you must pay the price."

Mage Tim stood up from his chair, and his magic contorted the space around them, "Barbara Julian, do not force my hand."

Dean Barbara simply pointed at the light curtain, smiling, "Of course, how dare I force your hand."

"No..." Mage Tim grasped the light curtain, his figure shining in elemental brilliance, shining upon Dean Barbara's unending smile.

...

Bill and Monica were still struggling for their lives.

Adam could tell Bill's water magic was different. He found that the water he controlled has low conductivity, but too limited in terms of usage.

Monica's magic was strange too -- she was able to morph herself into a plant, and her healing abilities were unprecedented. She was able to burrow into the ground, extending her roots deep into the ground.

However, this wasn't very useful. Bill and Monica could only evade and not retaliate against Adam.

Adam could sense energy fluctuations far away, guessing that the mage from Monte Carlo had confronted the mages of Moldo Academy. Adam knew time was running out, and he had little time to kill both of them.

"There is no point in escaping, you survive because I want you to see what you're dealing with," Adam boomed.

As soon as his voice fell, the pull of the magnetic field increased again. In an instant, their sense of direction was out of control, and hallucinations plagued their minds.

Although they couldn't fight back against Adam, the strength of their souls were enough to protect them just enough from Adam's magic. However, Adam merely wanted them to lose their autonomy for a period of time.

Adam locked them together with his psychic force, raising his arm and pointed to the sky. He brought an iron sword to the air and imbued it with electricity -- the strong current ionised the sword into a hot fluid, becoming unstable.

Adam's finger fell and the sword shot towards the ground. The two broke free of Adam's hallucinations, but by the time they saw the sword, it was too late.

Bill's body that was surrounded by water was instantly dehydrated as he dissipated into steam, and Monica screamed as the plant tissues surrounding her body were peeled off layer by layer, leaving her for dead on the ground.

"Weak!" Adam bellowed. He suddenly felt the threat of death, tearing open a teleportation scroll without hesitation, disappearing in place.

As soon as he disappeared, an energy beam pierced through Adam's previous position, forming a bottomless pothole, and the rocks surrounding the pothole became glimmering crystals.

"How dare you!" Mage Tim bellowed. He witnessed Bill being evaporated and Monica being left for dead and let out an angry roar.

Adam teleported not far away, but Mage Tim was able to lock him in place as soon as he saw him. Adam couldn't fight a high-level mage, and immediately undid the seal of the necklace, intending to promote to a mage to fight him.

A glimmering beam shot towards Adam, and just as he was about to break the seal, Dean Barbara appeared in front of him, and a purple torrent dispelled Mage Tim's beam, her hair and robes fluttering in the air. Her voice boomed throughout the air, full of killing intentions, "Tim Page, you have violated the rules set by the Mage Council, are you courting death?!"
