Age of Adepts

Erica's mood is quite fragile.

The hired carriage traveled slowly and painstakingly in the dragonbone wilderness, accompanied by a witch escorting her and six companions, all apprentices of witches. On the outskirts of a dozen wagons, 30 or 40 black armored guards were scattered.

They were sent from within the family to escort them to the Tower of Destiny.

Erica's heart became more depressed when she thought of leaving her familiar surroundings, leaving her sisters in the morning and evening, and entering that tower of destiny comparable to that of the desert region.

She was born in the town of Mosto in the Maureen district, a territory ruled by the Dark Sorceress.

Ever since she was a child, she has been sent by her family to study witchcraft in the tower of Dark Witches. After twelve long years of study, she became a witch apprentice with intermediate apprenticeship skills.

At this rate of improvement, she is difficult to advance to the rank of witch!

Such a gift is obviously too inferior among witch apprentices, otherwise she would not have been chosen to give to the Destiny Witch. She had cried for it three times along the way, and each time Friar came to comfort herself.

Friar is a beautiful and kind girl, only 15 years old, but already a witch apprentice with advanced apprenticeship skills. As long as she can go further and raise her spiritual strength to 20, she can become a trainee witch. At that time, the family will do everything they can to nurture her!

Erica can't figure it out 100,000 times.

If you were abandoned by the Dark Witch because of stupidity, how could a witch apprentice like Friar, with a chance to advance, be added to the Dispatch List together?

At a time when Erica was upset, there was a disturbance outside the convoy.

“Wind Wolf...”

“It's Wind Wolf! ”

A noisy cry came along, accompanied by a long and terrible wolf howl.

Shit, another demon attack!

Since crossing the realm of the Dead Witches into the outskirts of the Dragonbone Wilderness, such attacks have not ceased. Too many horrible monsters roaming the dragonbone wilderness, and a fierce and violent force, it is even more unlikely that large targets like convoys will escape their tracking and attacks.

Along the way, monsters like Decay Beast, Groundhog, Gray Bag Beast, Ironclad Rhinoceros, Breathing Monster and Stabbing Lion have all appeared, and the Black Armor Guards on the periphery have damaged eleven people. Had it not been for a Dark Witch on the team, I'm afraid there would have been more people lost.

Every time I see that dark witch floating in the air, throwing a black halo into the demons, killing them with shadow witchcraft, Erica can't help but cry.

Learned from the Dark Witch's tower, so she wanted to be a true Dark Witch. That way she can have an enviable shadow body, master a great deal of shadow witchcraft, and more importantly, she can brand her soul in the spiritual pool of the tower.

Thus, when she died accidentally in a battle, she could be revived from the Pool of Spirituality by simply draining some resources. This is also the main reason why most Dark Witch fighting styles are extremely spicy and fierce!

But not all family wizards can be Dark Witches and seem to have to undergo a Dark Baptism. It is said that the Trial Wizard was sent to a subordinate level called the Dark Kingdom, where a certain number of killing targets were completed before it was possible to obtain a dark baptism within the family.

Until then, these were the plans for the future that Erica so eagerly hoped for. But now, as she embarked on the road to the Tower of Destiny, these past ideals and ambitions dissipated with the smoke cloud and turned into a beautiful bubble!

Just as Erica mourned in silence, the wolf howl in the distance became more and more awesome.

Sounds like it's not far from the convoy!

“All apprentices get out of the car and prepare to help the peripheral guards defend themselves against the wind wolves! Hurry up... hurry up...” Seeing the peripheral line of defense will collapse, the dark witch finally speaks.

Thirty-two black armored guards backed each other down and rearranged their positions near the convoy as a result of a violent clash. Behind them, four companions are trapped in the tears and sieges of a group of wind wolves.

Wind Wolf, as a group monster, the individual has only the strength of a junior apprentice and only one witchcraft, which is to summon some wind particles to embrace their bodies, making their movements more rapid and light, similar to the ‘wind art' of wind witchcraft. But once the pack of wolves is over 100, the elite wind wolf who mastered the "wind blade technique" will appear. This is a kind of remote witchcraft that no ordinary person can resist at all.

In the outer periphery, the Black Armor Guards couldn't stop the Wind Wolves from attacking because there were three powerful guys in there who could throw up blades. The clear blue wind blade cuts the shield in diameter and cuts the body of the Black Armor Guard at every cluster ejection.

With the three of them in charge of opening the way, the Black Armor Guards are doomed to fail in their efforts to block the wolves with their shields and sturdy nails.

The Black Armor Guards, who returned to the vicinity of the convoy, formed a simple battlefield with swordshields, protecting the witches and apprentices behind them. Before the wind wolves rushed up, the apprentices began to sing witchcraft spells, and individual botanical apprentices even threw thorn seeds at the periphery.

Soon, more than one hundred and thirty wind wolves rushed over, hurrying and howling their necks.

Naturally, the first contact with them is the thorn seed that rapidly catalyzes growth.

At the behest of the witch apprentice, the seeds of demonized thorns pulled out the tender rootstocks and inserted them into the soil beneath them, before the torso began to swell and split. A large thorn cane split into four or five smaller pieces with purple and black thorns and wolf-toothed barbs.

Rapidly demonizing growing thorns waving more than a dozen thorn canes like a living creature, whenever wrapped or punched around the wind wolf, the end of the cane cracks open a mouthpiece full of tiny teeth and the needle drills wildly into the wind wolf.

Once successfully inserted into the wind wolf, the cane, which was just as thin as a finger, quickly swelled up, accompanied by a soft-toothed mumbling and swallowing sound.

Almost instantly, the seven or eight wind wolves rushing to the front became magical thorns of prey, struggling wildly, biting the cane with their fangs and claws.

These apprenticeship-grade demonized thorns are apparently not made from ferrous vines and are therefore slightly more fragile. While madly attacking the wind wolf, the cane tentacles that extend out of the demonized thorns are constantly torn apart, with strong acid solutions and undigested flesh spilling all over the hollow bladder cavity.

Although the magical thorns struggle, the quantity and quality clearly fall short of confronting the wind wolf.

Soon, the Wind Wolves broke through this thin line of defense and approached the Sword Shield Wall made up of Black Armor Guards.

And the first round of witchcraft by seven witchcraft apprentices has blown up in the front row of the wolves, taking advantage of the brief time that the wolves had just been held captive.

Acidic splash!

Acid swamp technique!

Witchcraft Fireball!

Soundwave Hunter!

……

And Erica stood at the edge of the team and contributed a shadow killer.

This is a low-level shadow witchcraft that summons a human killer in the shadows around the enemy, inflicting 8 Shadow Damage to surrounding creatures. As long as its shadow core is not broken, it will remain intact for up to 380 seconds.

It's also the only group witchcraft Erica has!

In contrast, Friar's release is a sonic hunt.

She stuffed a bunch of screaming grass into her mouth, then honked her hands around her mouth, making a terrible wave of vibrations.

All the wind wolves in the frontal cone of Friar had fallen and lost control of their bodies, howling as soon as they approached. And the black armored guards in front of Friar took advantage of the sword to kill the defenseless wind wolf.

Those three demon wolves who mastered the blade technique just approached the team and were captured by the Dark Sorceress with her eyes closed.

Nor did she see how she shouted, but reached for the wolf's position and grabbed it in a vacuum, and the wolf in the distance instantly fell into a dilemma of life and death.

The shadow of Big Ben blew up under the wolf, turning into a smog of teething claws and wrapping them around, pulling them dead into the shadow beneath him. It seemed as if a passage to the shadow world had been opened. No matter how the three wolves struggled, they could not escape the bondage of dark smoke and disappeared into the shadows.

When the wolf disappeared, the dark smoke dissipated.

It still reveals solid brown soil and gravel everywhere.

As for the three demon wolves, they're long gone!

The disappearance of the chief immediately plunged the Wind Wolves into chaos, and after more than 14 damage to the Wolves, the Wind Wolves finally chose to retreat!

And when the battle broke down, the Black Armored Guards killed seven more, and the rest were wounded.

Luckily, however, the witch apprentices were unharmed, and the result also relieved the dark witch leading the team in a dark sigh.

While most of the seven witch apprentices in front of them are low-potential generations, they have also been nurtured by families that have lost a lot of resources. Now they are given to the Destiny Witch family for nothing, which undoubtedly makes many family witches sincerely dissatisfied!

But the Dark Witch, who leads the team, is unnamed and happy to think that there is nothing she can do to throw resources on these ‘garbage’ people!

If she were the leader of Destiny, I'm afraid she'd have a headache at the moment.

Spend resources on them to cultivate them, all of them with low potential, even if one or two strengths can be seen in the past, I'm afraid there are many ‘nails’ from other factions.

What happens to that witch called Alice, who has no choice but to do something about it?
