60, despair (3)

"What are you going to do?"

With Adam's death, the illusion became fragments again, and then instantly reassembled, still a familiar scene, nothing changed, only Adam changed.

And then......

Passion, loyalty, justice, bravery, humility, and all good qualities were replaced by despair, and Adam became more and more insensitive, when the last time he rushed to the mage's mansion, was caught by the soldiers, and then tortured by the mage with ancient magic for seven days and seven nights, and turned into another desperate monster, the illusion was completely shattered, and Adam returned to the sea of souls.

The sea of souls is white and flawless, but Adam's soul is inhabited by two gray and ugly desperate monsters.

They began to fight for their souls, not caring about damage, just to kill each other, every time the fangs were torn and every claw was torn, all the body information torn off was devoured greedily, at this time, it was impossible to distinguish which one was Adam's soul and which one was a monster mutated by magic.

......

Outside, the trials at the Moldor Academy had come to an end, with Mage Ryan and Mage Keno removing the rune barrier, removing the potions, and gathering the surviving apprentices.

A month ago, nearly a hundred people entered the trial ground at the same time, but now less than forty have survived, and everyone is unspeakable, it is a mixed feeling of joy for the rest of their lives and hope for the future, everyone is looking for a familiar companion, and every familiar face will cause great joy.

William survived, his strength improved greatly in the few months in Adam's laboratory, coupled with his own excellent qualifications and affinity for the fire element, his magic was among the best among the apprentices of the same period, and in the trial, he gathered a team of more than a dozen people, showed outstanding leadership skills, and successfully brought his companions out of the trial ground.

"William, what are you looking for?" a female apprentice asked with admiration as William looked at him.

William pulled a smile at her, "Find someone." ”

He asked himself frantically, "Where did he go, where did he go?"

William was looking for Adam, and he didn't believe that the dazzling man would die in such a game-like trial.

Soon William's gaze swept over everyone present, and there was still no Adam, his behavior attracted everyone's attention, and the companions in the team gathered around him worriedly and asked, "William, what's wrong with you?"

"Do you see Adam?"

Adam? The crowd looked at each other, and they realized that Adam was missing from the surviving people, and someone said, "No, maybe he's dead in it?"

After a moment of silence, someone gloated and said: "I thought he was so powerful, it's not like he's dying in the trial now, haha, with his character, no one wants to be a companion with him at all, right? ”

William felt a little harsh, but he didn't say anything about it, if Adam was dead, there was no point in this dispute, and if Adam wasn't dead, the person who spoke would naturally pay the price.

At this time, the two mages walked up to everyone and said, "Congratulations on passing the trial, and when you return to the academy, you can choose to become a free apprentice or sign a contract with the tower, but no matter what you choose, you have become a qualified mage apprentice." ”

"Leave you an hour to regain your strength and mental strength, and in an hour we will return to the Tower through the teleportation array, and then you can begin your true academy life. ”

After the two mages finished speaking, they turned around and walked aside and entered the mobile house, and after some hesitation, William finally couldn't help but cautiously walked up and knocked on the door, and said to the mage, "Dear mage, good day." ”

The door to the mobile home opened automatically, and Master Ryan looked at William and said, "Good day, apprentice." ”

"My lord, may I ask you, are we all the surviving apprentices?"

Master Ryan said, "Of course. ”

William's face froze, and he bowed respectfully and then retreated, muttering to himself in his heart, Adam is really dead?

Master Keno looked at him and suddenly said, "Do you know that apprentice named Adam?"

William jerked his head up and nodded to Master Keno.

Master Keno motioned for William to come in, but William didn't have time to appreciate the living environment of the official mage, and followed Master Keno closely.

"He, how did he become like this?" William exclaimed in surprise when he saw Adam's situation, his pupils constricted unnaturally.

Adam's condition was very bad, his body was so withered that only skin and bones remained, his eyes were closed, and his body was constantly twitching, but the most terrifying thing was the gray aura that constantly diffused from his body.

William muttered to himself, "Breath of negative energy, anti-mage?"

Master Keno looked at William in surprise: "Nice insight. ”

"Adam and I fought with the Anti-Mage Apprentices, and Adam wiped out all four of his apprentices and saved the town of Bran. William looked away from Adam with difficulty and turned back to Master Keno.

Master Kino clapped his hands and said to Master Ryan, who was sitting outside, "I see, no wonder that big rat would take such a big risk to come to the Mage Continent to kill a junior apprentice." It should be his descendants who died before. ”

William listened quietly, and then boldly asked, "Master Mage, can you tell me what happened to Adam?"

"There is a full-level anti-mage who has infiltrated the trial ground, he was torn and hit by a first-level ancient magic soul, and the negative energy aura occupies his soul, well, I have to say that this little guy is very powerful, he has been fighting against despair for nearly a month, and there is no sign of defeat until now. ”

But as soon as Master Keno's words fell, the gray aura swept out like a storm, and Adam's face involuntarily twisted hideously, and Master Keno threw William out of the room and said to Master Ryan: "This, is it that the soul is going to be destroyed?"

Master Ryan got up and leaned against the door frame, looked at the anguished Adam, and said, "Obviously the little guy can't stand it, don't you still want to kill him?"

Master Keno stared at Adam with a frown, the metal particles in his hand rising and falling beside him with his heart, obviously he didn't know whether to kill Adam or not to ease his pain now, but after a moment he gave up on the idea because he noticed something different.

"Soul tearing is an ancient magic that condenses human despair and soul energy to destroy the target, and the effect of this magic is supposed to be destroyed, but look at him," Master Kino pointed at Adam, "He seems to be assimilated now?"

Master Ryan's eyes turned crystal red, dense runes appeared in his eyes, his gaze penetrated Adam's body and went straight to the depths of his soul, he said in surprise: "Hey, it's strange, what did this little guy do?"

The mage's curiosity saved Adam's life, and they decided to keep this special 'sample', and maybe they could find something interesting.

The runes in Master Ryan's eyes appeared in the air, and then covered Adam's body, the gray storm was restrained within a certain range, and the outside world could no longer feel the breath of negative energy, and the mage said in his mouth: "It seems that he must be sealed temporarily, otherwise he will not be able to enter the range of the tower, and the academy enforcers are not so easy to speak." ”

William frowned and returned to the open space where the apprentices had gathered, still digesting the news he had just received and what he had seen.

He knew why Adam hadn't been able to get out of the trial, but he couldn't imagine that Adam had fought the official mage and survived.

But in the situation just now, Adam is obviously in danger, not necessarily dead, he may become a captive of negative energy, he knows better than anyone else the powerful carrying capacity of the telekinetic force, coupled with Adam's talent, he has no doubt about this. After the last incident, he had consulted the simple information of the anti-mage, and also knew the attitude of the mainstream mages towards the anti-mage, if Adam really fell, there would be absolutely no life.

Now he didn't know how to describe his feelings, he had a deep conflict with Adam, although he unilaterally thought it, from this point of view, he should feel relaxed. But he also became powerful because of Adam, and if Adam died, he would have no guide on the way to practice the Kinetic Meditation Method.

And there was a faint thought in his heart that he didn't want to admit that someone like Adam shouldn't have died in such obscurity.

The apprentices consciously sat a little farther away from William, and everyone could see that he was not in a good mood, and at this time no one wanted to anger this probably the strongest of the apprentices after Adam.

But they inevitably gloated and whispered, based on a very strange idea: the more fallen geniuses, the better, so that I will have fewer enemies, more resources to obtain, and higher heights to reach.

William watched coldly and listened to their conversation, feeling very ridiculous.

This kind of person will never think about what kind of talent they have, how much effort they have put in, they will always attribute the reason why they can't achieve higher achievements to others, and then be surpassed by more and more people.

He shook his head and threw the complicated thoughts aside, Adam's matter was no longer something he could participate in, all he could do was silently bless it, and the choice after returning to the academy was what he should think about now.

An hour passed, and the mages walked out of the mobile house on time, the house rapidly shrinking and disappearing into their hands, leaving a suspended teleportation array in place.

After a month, everyone, including Adam, returned to the academy once again.
