A Sorcerer's Journey

Chapter 597: Bait

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Atlas Skull!”

The appearance of the Sorcerer-Apprentice made Cana and her fellow Sorcerer-Apprentice inhale sharply, it was that guy!

Ten years ago during the Academy War, at the richest Crowned Palace that was also nearest to the Hydra Wrath Academy, the two academies had gathered almost a few thousand Sorcerer-Apprentices and tens of thousands of Knights to kill each other in the city, fighting for the ownership of that city.

It was this Sorcerer-Apprentice wearing a white skull mask from the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy, with his unparalleled anatomy refinery, that had committed genocide in the city, and no one was his match.

The Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy had gathered six of the best Sorcerer-Apprentices to launch a sudden attack, they had intended to kill him, but instead, three of them were killed mercilessly, while the other three ran away miserably.

And just like that, this Sorcerer-Apprentice earned himself the name “Atlas Skull” and this name kept passing on, during the period when Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy was fighting for city ownerships, this name became a nightmare for Sorcerer-Apprentices who were tasked with fighting.

This person was the strongest Sorcerer-Apprentice that the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy had nurtured in these few recent years!

Amor’s body had started to rot, abscess was growing on his entire body, it seemed that during the kidnapping process, he received extreme torture from the Sorcerer-Apprentices of the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy, he did not even have the strength to struggle against the rope bindings, he could only use his gaze full of despair to stare at Cana standing behind the Sorcerer-Apprentice with dark skin tone, full of infatuation.

“Hahahahaha, now that we got these pitiful fishes hooked, this bait is useless now.”

Atlas Skull partially extended his hand, grabbed Amor’s head and with a cracking sound, he crushed his skull, then he ordered coldly, “Kill them!”

A few Sorcerer-Apprentices who had readied themselves rushed forward successively, Atlas Skull’s body transformed, he had actually activated the first level of wild instinct, possessing the power that increased along with the body, the seven-metre-tall body that he expanded into was bare-skinned and vigorous, his muscles were ripped, the skull mask on his face also expanded to the same size, and a beam of thunder light striked.

Maybe that was why this guy was named Atlas Skull.

Even though Sorcerer-Apprentices had a narrow view of exaggeration compositions, but this guy actually activated the first level of his wild instinct during his Sorcerer-Apprentice period, honestly this had greatly surpassed normal Sorcerer-Apprentices, and that was why during Grimm’s Sorcerer-Apprentice period, names like Child of the Sun, Ice Age Period, Bell Dominion, were not that strange.

“Sister, run quickly!”

The Sorcerer-Apprentice with dark skin tone yelled and put himself in front of Cana, his mechanical arm was cranking, it seemed like he was making a last struggle, to stall time for Cana to escape.

“If... If only I was braver just now, how good would that be!”

His eyes moistened, a few guns appeared on his mechanical arm, but the few Sorcerer-Apprentices dashing over did not seem to mind at all, some even jumped past the Sorcerer-Apprentice to chase after Cana.

Was this the end?

“Hmph, you’re lucky today!”

Just as the Sorcerer-Apprentice with dark skin tone and Cana had almost lost all hope, the cuckoo birds in the forest actually magically transformed into a mini version of Sorceress Neeran’s appearance, it was Neeran who had also received the task of scaring the ones in hiding from the sorcerer gathering and had violated academy rules, she could not help but intervene.

It was not that rules were not important, but it was just a rule made up by the academy to protect the concealing sorcerers.

The biggest threat to the ones in hiding who were concealing themselves was when they were revealed by others, and when that happened there was not really much to be afraid of.

Neeran was only as small as a cuckoo bird, she flapped her wings and element teleported to the front of the Sorcerer-Apprentice with dark skin tone, protecting him, and in the next moment, her wings flapped fiercely as three wind blades killed three approaching Sorcerer-Apprentices without missing.

Sorcerer-Apprentices standing in front of a Level-2 Sorcerer did not have the power to resist.

“It’s a Sorcerer, Sorcerer from the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy, run!”

The Sorcerer-Apprentices from the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy that reacted started screaming and running into all directions, Neeran sneered, her eyes locked onto the Sorcerer-Apprentice Atlas Skull who was hustling his way toward the concealment magic array.

Even as an official Sorcerer, this Sorcerer-Apprentice’s great reputation had reached her ears, so this was the trump card that was meticulously nurtured by the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy, he was an important chess piece in the inner dispute.

Bam!

An element teleportation, after Neeran lasered through a few hundred metres, the cuckoo flapped its wings and easily tore the concealment magic array apart, the Nature force around was shifted, extruding toward Atlas Skull who had activated his first level of his wild instinct, completely blocking his elemental sorcery power.

“You!”

Suddenly, as she tore off the concealment magic array, Neeran’s pupils contracted as the cuckoo bird that she transformed into “whooshed’ and flew backward in between electric lights and fire blasts, but was still too late.

“Kekekekekeke, you can’t escape, poor little preys. The blood scent on your body right now is like a lighthouse in the middle of the night, after you it will be the Sorcerer that killed Kruzmo, all of you must die. By joining the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy, your only path is death.”

The Shadow Argus Level-2 concealment sorcerer sneered hoarsely, his body distorted and squeezed into the Dimensional Gap, he was actually a Sorcerer that hid and roamed in the Dimensional Gaps.

What was even scarier, was that he actually used Sorcerer-Apprentice Atlas Skull as bait, forcing Neeran to reveal herself and ambush her.

Amor was just a bait of a bait, the two Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy Sorcerer-Apprentices were just side dishes, Neeran was the actual target of the enemy!

“You bastard, you dare stealth against me!”

The cuckoo bird flapped its wings and landed on a branch, it did not move recklessly, using all its power to sense any possible moves that might happen in the surroundings, the wound on the other wing with green poison spreading on it was throbbing slightly, it was starting to paralyze her.

Roar!

The Sorcerer-Apprentice Atlas Skull held up a red iron key, it was the Marked Friendship Key.

Above his head, four long and ferocious skeletal claws dug out of two gaps on the side, under the eyes that were like burning flames, was a mouth full of savage sharp fangs, a purplish black poison gas spread out, this creature seemed like a four-limbed skeletal spider that was a few-metres tall, possessing an aura of a Level-2 creature.

“No matter what, I need to get this Sorcerer’s information to the academy first! Cuckoo...”

After Neeran cuckooed, several cuckoo birds from all directions in the woods cuckooed back, and right at that moment, a greyish black magic staff stuck out from a Dimensional Gap under the giant tree branch that Neeran was standing on...

“Caw caw caw caw! Lord Myna’s Bird Poop Sorcery!”

Suddenly, an evil laugh came out from the empty mid-air, bird poop that emitted a smell that normal creatures could not detect but was extremely pungent to those with a keen sense of smell shot out like a water column, and shot straight into the Dimensional Gap without missing, hitting the Sorcerer right in the face.

This type of sorcery by concealing within Dimensional Gaps was similar to the movable board of the concealment gap that Grimm obtained during his Sorcerer-Apprentice period, and once he knew that the Shadow Argus Sorcerer used this kind of concealment technique, to Grimm who possessed the Relative Boundary ability to perceive space, it was much easier to find the enemy.

But as a precaution, Grimm let Little Myna use his mysterious power to carry out markings on the enemy.

“Grimm! You... .you used me as bait!?”

Neeran, who recognized Little Myna’s evil laugh, exclaimed with utter shock.
