The sun was shining brightly for thousands of miles without any clouds in the sky.
More than a thousand youths dressed in magic robes were standing in a field of green grass near the lake where they previously gathered before going through the final test to enter St. Helier Magic Academy. The current situation was similar to that day, the difference was that they had already entered the academy and are now would undergo the end of semester assessment. What’s more, no disciples could rob other disciples’ designated items, as long as it was snatched, not only did the disciple who was robbed fail the test, even the one who forcibly robs it also being eliminated. So this time, all the disciples would enter the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts together.
Moreover, the limit time was one month, twice longer than the last time.
Elvis was still following behind the crowd in no hurry at a slow pace, he didn’t even feel the slightest amount of tension from taking the test.
Tals was standing behind the crowd, while watching Elvis who was walking in a leisurely pace, his eyes flashed with an unfathomable radiance, before he lowered his eyelids, and quietly followed behind Elvis. After they entered the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, and had gone in a certain distance, he took out a small round stone with a magical atmosphere from inside his magic robe. If anyone who knew this item saw it, they would definitely recognize it as a common communication stone in the Walt Empire.
At this time, the communication stone was gradually flashing rays of light, it was unknown where the information were send.
……
Elvis’ magic control could be said to be very proficient, so the speed of him getting a particular item was much faster than anyone else.
Even though the others that saw this was shocking, when they thought of Elvis’ usual performance, as well as his current level, they immediately felt relieved. Not only was Elvis ranked first in their class, he was also already a Junior Magus, besides a few disciples in the front, he had surpassed most of them, and left them behind, as a result the deeper they went, the fewer and fewer people were around Elvis.
In addition, Elvis also wanted to avoid other people, so he would be able to let Li Luo change into human form and cultivate their feelings, therefore he also intentionally went to a place where less people were around.
It was raining the night before, so the forest was damp but didn’t smell unpleasant. The blades of grass below the trees were contaminated with a lot of water vapor, and the ground was also a bit moist, it was not too damp because the sunshine had already halfway dried it. Everything seemed to have been washed with water, everything looked particularly clean.
Li Luo lifted his head up from Elvis’ bosom, the triangular ears on his head were moving, and because he was in beast form, his sense of smell was also very sensitive. He had not felt anything was wrong just a moment ago when there were mixed scents of many people, but when the people around Elvis gradually became fewer, he smelled one particular scent that always following Elvis. Even when Elvis was alone, that scent still did not dissipate.
He was very familiar with this smell, it was Tals’ scent.
Li Luo would never believe that Tals did not have any bad thoughts by following Elvis. After discovering this, Li Luo immediately told Elvis using his divine sense anxiously, [Elvis, Tals has been following us all this time, and now he’s still more than 20 meters behind us. I don’t know what his intent is, but it’s definitely not good, you must be careful.]
Elvis actually had long discovered this anomaly, but when he heard Li Luo’s anxious tone, the corner of his lips couldn’t help but rise, before he slightly nodded his head and then caressed Li Luo’s head. [En, I know.]
After Li Luo warned Elvis, he closed his eyes, and sank into his consciousness, he quickly looked at the synopsis of the story, he wanted to know what plot would happen at this moment, whether Elvis would encounter any danger.
Although he knew that Elvis had the protagonist’s halo as he was the male protagonist of this world, the wounds that he got on the road to become stronger would not be less painful. Just like the last time when his grandmother Vicia died, Li Luo could clearly feel Elvis’ sorrow which was as if a knife was being twisted in his heart.
Li Luo very quickly found the section of storyline. When he finished reading it, he found out Elvis would not encounter any danger, moreover he also disposed of Tals, and his older cousin Gardam afterwards, Li Luo could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and put down his tense heart.
Sure enough, after a while, Li Luo smelled another scent rush over towards this direction.
Li Luo immediately stood up from Elvis’ bosom, after once again telling Elvis to be careful, he instantly jumped down from Elvis’ embrace.
The changes occurred suddenly at this moment, as a round and bright purple flame out of nowhere went straight toward Elvis’ back with fast speed.
At this moment, Li Luo’s four paws had just barely touched the ground, when he saw this scene, he quickly twisted his waist and rushed toward that purple flame, as his small and round figure turned into an afterimage. He stretched out the tip of his front claw, there seemed to be a glimpse of invisible wind between the edge of the claw blade, so when he swung his paw, it quickly formed four wind blades, that mercilessly chopped down that purple flame into pieces.
Afterwards, Li Luo landed behind Elvis’ back, in an attacking posture, his amber cat pupils were looking to the direction of the attack in alert. Elvis also turned around, there was still no expression on his handsome face, but his azure eyes seemed more cold than usual, as if a faint layer of frost condensed on its surface.
“Elvis, I didn’t expected that this little cat you raised, was actually a magical beast?” Tals slowly came out from the shadow of the trees, a hint of surprise flashed past his eyes. Behind him, Gardam’s tall figure also appeared, as his black eyes looked at Elvis full of killing intent.
Elvis did not answer his azure colored eyes scanned over Tals and Gardam, he placed his fingers inside his magic robe and took out his magic staff, before slightly lifting it up in the direction that Tals and Gardam were standing, ready to fight at any time.
Tals who had Gardam’s backing, was full of confidence. He looked arrogantly at Elvis, as if Elvis in front of him was just an ant that was about to die. Heh, he’s obviously an ant that could die at any time, why would he want to restore his magical power, he also appeared in front of him. God must have given him this opportunity to let him truly get rid of this thorn in his side that always stabbed his eyes.
“Elvis, do you know what was the worst decision you have ever made?” Tals narrowed his eyes, his light gray pupils flashed a trace of deep and fierce hatred, “Was it not good enough if you stayed as ordinary person? Your best ending was to die like a useless waste, at least you still could leave behind an intact corpse, but now?”
Tals looked around for a moment, his smiling expression was a bit distorted, “You can only die here, and your corpse will be eaten by magical beasts, nothing will be left.”
Elvis narrowed his eyes, but he only slightly leaned over his head, still not speaking, his azure eyes were still cold as he looked at Tals. He raised the corner of his lips making them seem like they slightly curved, as if sneering at Tals’ words just a moment ago.
Tals’ eyes were bloodshot, he turned around and looked at Gardam. The latter nodded at him and raised the magic staff in his hand. With a soft chant, the magic staff in Gardam’s hand instantly emitted a dazzling bright yellow light, and then a purple thunder and flame dragon was formed, before it rapidly rushed towards Elvis’ direction.
This was the ultimate magic spell that only a four star Junior Magus could perform—Thunderfire Dragon.
Tals who originally thought Elvis would definitely not be able to escape the attack, was stunned as he looked in Elvis’ direction.
Elvis who he expected would be beaten into a sorry figure and unable to stand up, unexpectedly didn’t even have a scar on his body. He only saw Elvis lightly lift his arm, and chant a spell, he didn’t know what kind of spell Elvis had chanted in his mouth, as the magic staff in his hand ignited a circle of cyan rays of light that turned into a root just like a vine, entangling the purple flame dragon that flew towards him, and bound it in midair.
The purple flame dragon, which looked like a huge force, unexpectedly couldn’t move even a bit under the cyan light, Elvis’ eyes flashed, as he one again chanted a spell, there were a few thin blue awns that quickly surrounded the struggling purple flame dragon, the dragon became smaller and smaller, before finally disappearing from the eyes of everyone.
“How, how is this even possible?!” Tals’ arrogant smile instantly froze in the corner of his mouth, wasn’t he merely a three star Scholar Magus now? How could he block a Junior Magus’ attack? All of this was simply unimaginable!
He immediately thought of a possibility, Tals could not help but widen his eyes, he did not dare to look at Elvis, could it be that Elvis was already a four star Junior Magus?
No, impossible. Only a few months passed, how could Elvis’ cultivation speed be so fast? Only in a few months he was able to break through the bottleneck and enter four star Junior Magus boundary. If it was true, then Elvis’ progress was too frightening.
Gardam couldn’t believe what was happening in front of him, he looked at Tals with eyes full of surprise and disbelief, “What’s going on, Tals? Didn’t you say that he was only a three star Scholar Magus?” If Elvis was just a Scholar Magus, how could he resist his attack.
Tals’ face was also very ugly, he looked at Elvis and said with hatred, “Even if he was already a Junior Magus, he definitely just recently broke through, and older cousin, you have been in that level for one year, could it be that you’re unable to deal with him who just recently entered it?” He paused, and then said, “I will hinder his magical beast, so older cousin you can concentrate on dealing with him alone. We have to dispose of him today, we must succeed! Otherwise, he would definitely come to us for revenge in the future.”
After Gardam listened to Tal’s words, the killing intent in his eyes became even more heavy. That’s right, now that he and Tals had been riding the tiger, whether they succeeded or not, they long since had no way of retreating.
The two of them looked at each other, they were determined to achieve their goal.
