Chapter 350: Beginning

Weir Town.

Round and round, I’m back to the same place.

It’s just that back then, Lynn was just a novice wizard apprentice who had failed the academy assessment and was expelled.

Now,

He is already a mid-First Circle Wizard!

In just under a year, his strength and status have undergone earth-shattering changes.

“Sister Mandy.”

Arriving at the potion shop, Lynn handed over the required medicinal materials and casually asked:

“Have the Holy Source Drops arrived?”

“Wizard Lynn, you can just call me Mandy, you’re not the small fry you used to be.”

Mandy shook her head, took the list, and took out the medicinal materials one by one, replying:

“The Holy Source Drops are a Third-Order magic potion, they are too rare, even we need to wait for an opportunity.”

“Hmm…” Lynn touched his chin, not changing his address:

“Sister Mandy, isn’t the Rose Academy backing you? This stuff shouldn’t be lacking for them, right?”

Rose Academy.

One of the four major forces on the Kalim Continent, said to have a Sixth-Circle Wizard sitting in charge, and it is rumored that Aksha, the founder of the Viper Academy, also came from there.

“The Rose Academy may not lack the stuff, but it’s not easy to get it from them.” Mandy sighed:

“I’m urging them, with the shop’s contributions over the years, we should be able to get it before the end of the year.”

The Holy Source Drops are a high-level Water-type magic potion, and taking them can greatly increase resistance to fire.

This increase is permanent!

In theory.

If an ordinary person takes the Holy Source Drops and doesn’t die, they can walk freely in a sea of fire.

If Lynn takes them, then refining the Second-Order Flame will become very easy, and he won’t be burned to death during the refining process.

On one hand.

Lynn is working hard to earn points to exchange for the Second-Order Flame.

On the other hand,

He is trying to get the Holy Source Drops from Mandy.

With this two-pronged approach, when he gets the Second-Order Flame, he can directly refine it, and he can also improve his cultivation in the process.

“I’ll wait for your good news.”

Lynn put away the medicinal materials and waved his hand:

“Notify me as soon as it arrives, don’t give it to anyone else, I’m leaving first.”

“Don’t worry, no one else needs this stuff.” Mandy nodded:

“Goodbye.”

…………

The main road.

This is the only way from Iron Curtain City to the Viper Academy.

At this time, the flat road was as if it had been plowed in half, the soil was turned over, a mess.

The horned beasts pulling the cart lay on the ground, their throats ripped open grotesquely, and fresh blood flowed from the wounds.

Dozens of Abyssal Creatures were lying on the corpses of the horned beasts, gnawing at the flesh, occasionally raising their heads and howling to express their joy.

On the other side.

The survivors of the caravan were surrounded by the Demon Hunting Group, desperately fighting, but no matter what, they couldn’t break through the group.

Seeing that the defensive line was about to collapse…

“Boom!”

The earth trembled.

Streams of flames emerged from the ground, shooting straight into the sky, and incidentally burning several knights of the Demon Hunting Group into charcoal.

Accompanied by the roar, a giant lion several meters tall roared and charged forward.

The giant lion was wrapped in flames, and the ground it stepped on turned into magma. With one pounce, it pressed several people to the ground.

With one bite, a senior wizard apprentice was directly torn in half; with one breath, a legendary knight was burned to ashes.

The giant lion, like an ancient beast, wreaked havoc in the field, and the battle line formed by the Demon Hunting Group collapsed on the spot.

“Hmm…”

One of them hurriedly blew the magic conch in his hand, and the Abyssal Creatures that were still tearing at the corpses and devouring them raised their heads when they heard the sound.

Then, as if they had heard a summons, they let out sharp howls and rushed towards the giant lion.

“Bang!”

“Puff puff!”

The Abyssal Creatures had no reason, they were not afraid of death, and one after another, they instantly submerged the giant lion.

However, they obviously could not pose a fatal threat to the giant lion, and even if they tried their best, they could only leave an inconspicuous wound on the giant lion’s body.

◈◈◈

On the contrary,

In front of the furious giant lion, one Abyssal Creature after another was torn into pieces, and flames spread everywhere.

Seeing that the situation was reversed.

First-Circle Spell ━ Sigh of the Ice and Snow Goddess!

The ultimate cold was released into the air, and an area of ​​tens of meters was instantly frozen into a crystal of ice.

Even the flaming giant lion was frozen in place.

“Elliot.”

Viper Academy’s Late Stage First-Circle Wizard, a wise one among the beastmen, a genius of the Shadow Magic, the beastman Nicole appeared out of thin air above the ice crystal, tapped the ice crystal below with a wooden staff in his hand, and looked up at the sky:

“Your opponent is me.”

“Crack!”

“Crash…”

His movements were not big, but the ice crystal shattered on the spot, and the giant lion trapped inside jumped out as well.

The giant lion was covered in wounds, blood all over its body, its eyes were tired, and with a sway, it turned back into Lynn.

“Nicole.”

He gasped for breath:

“Thank you, the rest is up to you.”

“Mm.”

The beastman Nicole nodded:

“Lynn, your strength is not bad, and your cultivation has reached the mid-First Circle, but you still have too few methods.”

“We are wizards, using wisdom to leverage the energy between heaven and earth. It’s not the right way to use your physical body to fight like you do.”

“You’re right.” Lynn smiled wryly.

He didn’t think the other party’s words were harsh.

In fact, if they didn’t care about each other or if their relationship was ordinary, the other party wouldn’t have said such things at all.

It’s just that Lynn’s situation was special. His cultivation had increased rapidly in a short period of time, and if his methods could keep up, it would be hard not to raise suspicion.

So he had to ‘hide his clumsiness’.

“Withdraw!”

He retreated and waved to the group of wizard apprentices who followed:

“This is a First-Circle Late Stage Wizard’s battle, we can’t interfere, getting close will only get us caught in the crossfire.”

“Take the people we saved and let’s go!”

“Yes!” With Nicole gone, Lynn was in charge of the team, and immediately the group retreated the way they came.

“You guys go first.” Passing a bend in a mountain road, Lynn’s eyes flickered, and he signaled to the others:

“I’ll go back and see, maybe I can help.”

“Then…” A senior wizard apprentice hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily:

“Please be careful.”

In his opinion, Lynn, a mid-First Circle Wizard, was still qualified to participate in the battle in the rear.

Soon.

Lynn’s figure reappeared near the battlefield.

“Invisibility, sneak attacks, poison, traps…, these are all the methods that the Demon Hunting Group’s wizards are good at.”

“Heh…”

“I can do it too!”

His body bent forward, turning into a fire snake about a meter long, Lynn flicked his tongue, silently approaching a large tree.

When he was less than a few meters away from the tree, he suddenly opened his fangs, and his body instantly turned into more than ten meters long.

“Boom!”

The tree trembled, but unfortunately it was too late to react, and it was tightly entangled by the giant snake and swallowed in one bite.

“Crack!”

The wizard hidden inside the tree was bitten in half on the spot, dead as a doornail.

“Another great contribution.”

Spitting out the corpse in his mouth, Lynn grinned:

“If I borrow some from Maggie, I should be able to exchange for that Nether Flame!”
