Mage Adam Chapter 60: Despair (3)
"What are you going to do?"
With the death of Adam, the illusion once again became fragments, and then reassembled in an instant. It was still a familiar scene, nothing changed, only Adam changed.
Then...
Blood, loyalty, justice, bravery, humility, all the beautiful qualities were replaced by despair, Adam became more and more insensitive, when he rushed to the mage's mansion for the last time, he was caught by the soldiers, and then used by the mage After the ancient magic tortured for seven days and seven nights, and turned into another desperate monster, the illusion was completely shattered, and Adam returned to the soul sea.
The soul sea is pure and white, but Adam's soul lives in two gray and ugly monsters of despair.
They started a battle for souls, not caring about damage, just to kill each other, every time the fangs bite and every claw tore, all the body information torn down is greedily swallowed, at this time, It was impossible to tell which one was Adam's soul and which one was a monster transformed by magic.
......
Outside, the trial of Moldo Academy has come to an end. Master Ryan and Master Jino removed the rune barrier, released the potion, and then gathered the surviving apprentices together.
A month ago, nearly 100 people entered the trial site at the same time, but now only less than 40 people have survived. Everyone's mood is hard to say. It is a mixture of joy and hope for the future. The complex emotions formed, everyone is looking for familiar companions everywhere, and every familiar face will cause great joy.
William survived, and his strength has improved a lot during the few months in Adam's laboratory. In addition to his excellent aptitude and affinity with the fire element, his magic is outstanding among the apprentices of the same period. On the first floor, during the trial, he assembled a team of more than a dozen people, demonstrated his outstanding leadership skills, and successfully brought his companions out of the trial site.
"William, what are you looking for?" A female apprentice looked at William admiringly and asked attentively.
William smiled at her, "Find someone."
He asked frantically in his heart: "Where did he go? Where did he go? How could he possibly die?"
William is looking for Adam, and he doesn't believe that the dazzling man will die in such a trial that seems like a game to him.
Soon William's eyes swept over everyone present, but Adam was still absent. His behavior attracted everyone's attention, and the companions in the team gathered around him worriedly and asked, "William, how are you doing? already?"
"Have you seen Adam?"
Adam? Everyone looked at each other, only then did they realize that Adam was missing from the surviving people, and someone said, "I didn't see it, maybe he died inside?"
After a moment of silence, someone said gloatingly: "I thought he was so powerful, he hasn't died in the trial yet, haha, with his character, no one wants to be his companion at all, right? Now it has become the excrement of some monster."
William felt a little harsh, but he didn't say anything about it. If Adam was dead, this quarrel would have no meaning. If Adam wasn't dead, the person who spoke would naturally pay the price.
At this time, the two mages walked up to the crowd and said, "Congratulations, you have passed the test. After returning 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 all become one. qualified apprentices.”
"Leaving you an hour to recover your physical and mental strength. After an hour, we will return to the tower through the teleportation array, and then you can start the real academy life."
After the two mages finished speaking, they turned and left and entered the mobile house. After several hesitations, William finally couldn't help but cautiously stepped forward, knocked on the door, and said to the mages, "Dear mages, good day. "
The door of the mobile home opened automatically, and Master Ryan looked at William and said, "Good day, apprentice."
"My lord, may I ask, are we all the surviving apprentices?"
Master Ryan said: "Of course."
William's face froze, and he saluted respectfully and retired, thinking to himself, Adam really died?
Master Jino looked at him and suddenly said, "You know that apprentice named Adam?"
William raised his head sharply, nodding to Mage Jino again and again.
Mage Jino motioned William to come in. William didn't have time to appreciate the living environment of the official mage, so he followed Mage Jino to the inside.
"How did he become like this?" William exclaimed in surprise when he saw Adam's situation, his pupils tightened unnaturally.
Adam's condition is very bad, his body is withered to the point of being skinny, his eyes are closed and his body is constantly twitching, but the most terrifying thing is the gray aura that constantly permeates from his body.
William muttered to himself: "Negative energy aura, Anti-Mage?"
Mage Jino looked at William in surprise: "Good insight."
"Adam and I once fought against the Anti-Mage apprentice. Adam killed all four of the apprentices and saved Bran Town." William took his eyes off Adam with difficulty and turned back to Master Jino.
Master Jino clapped his hands and said to Master Ryan, who was sitting outside: "So it is, no wonder that big mouse took such a big risk to kill a little apprentice in the Master Continent. The one who died before should be his descendants."
William listened quietly, then boldly asked: "Master Mage, can you tell me what happened to Adam?"
"An anti-mage of the official level sneaked into the trial ground. He was hit by a first-level ancient magic soul tearing, and the negative energy aura occupied his soul. Well, I have to say that this little guy is very powerful. I've been fighting despair for a month, and there's no sign of defeat yet."
But as soon as the voice of Master Jino fell, the gray breath swept out like a storm, Adam's face twisted involuntarily, and Master Jino threw William out of the room and said to Master Ryan: "This is , is the soul going to be destroyed?"
Master Ryan stood up against the door frame, looked at Adam in pain, and said, "Obviously the little guy can't stand it anymore, don't you still want to kill him?"
Master Jino stared at Adam with a frown. The metal particles in his hand rose and fell beside him with his guilty conscience. Obviously, he didn't know whether to kill Adam to ease his pain. After a while, he still gave up. came up with this idea because he found something different.
"The ancient magic of soul tearing is to condense human despair and soul energy to destroy the soul of the target. The effect of this magic should be to destroy, but look at him," Mage Jino pointed to Adam, "he now seems to be Are you being assimilated? Have you ever seen such a phenomenon?"
Master Ryan's eyes turned crystal red, dense runes appeared in his eyes, his eyes penetrated Adam's body and went straight into the depths of his soul, he said in surprise: "Hey, it's strange, this little guy What did you do?"
The mage's curiosity saved Adam's life, and they decided to save this special 'sample', maybe they could study something interesting.
The rune in Master Ryan's eyes floated in the air, and then covered Adam's body. The gray storm was bound within a certain range, and the outside world could no longer feel the negative energy. The Master said: "Look at it. Come to seal him temporarily, otherwise he will not be able to enter the range of the tower, and the law enforcers of the academy are not so good at talking."
William frowned and returned to the open space where the apprentices gathered. He was still digesting the news and the scene he had just seen.
He knew why Adam couldn't get out of the trial grounds, but he couldn't imagine that Adam actually fought a full-fledged mage and survived.
But in the situation just now, Adam is obviously in danger, not necessarily death, but may become a prisoner of negative energy. He knows the powerful carrying capacity of psychic power better than anyone else, plus Adam's talent, he has no idea. Doubt this. After the last incident, he had consulted the simple information of Anti-Mage~IndoMTL.com~ and also knew the attitude of mainstream mages towards Anti-Mage. If Adam really fell, there would be absolutely no life.
Now he doesn't know how to describe his mood. He and Adam once had a deep conflict. Although he thought it unilaterally, from this point of view, he should feel relieved. But he also became stronger because of Adam. If Adam died, he would have no guide on the way to practice mindfulness meditation.
Moreover, there was still a strange thought in his heart that he was not very willing to admit. People like Adam should not die in such obscurity.
The apprentices consciously sat a little farther away from William. Everyone could see that he was not in a good mood. At this time, no one wanted to anger the strongest apprentice after Adam.
But they can't help but gloat and whisper, based on a very strange idea: the more geniuses that fall, the better, so that I will have fewer enemies, more resources, and higher heights. .
William watched and listened to their conversation coldly, finding it very funny.
Such people will never think about what kind of talent they have and how much effort they put in. They will always attribute the reason for their inability to achieve higher achievements to others, and then more and more people will beyond.
He shook his head and threw his complicated thoughts aside. Adam's affairs were no longer his part. All he could do was silently bless him. The next choice after returning to the academy is what he should do now. question of thinking.
After an hour passed, the mages walked out of the mobile house on time. The house shrank rapidly and disappeared into their hands. What remained in place was a suspended teleportation formation.
After a month, everyone, including Adam, returned to the academy once again.
