Mage Adam

Chapter 109

After hearing this, it wasn't the Monte Carlo apprentices who backed off, but Elliott and the devil. The two of them retreated without hesitation until they were from a safe distance from the arena.

Adam never expressed such cold words before fighting or killing people. It can be expected that if the Monte Carlo apprentices try to act cocky, they would only face death by Adam's hands.

And they were sure that Adam would win in any duel.

However, the apprentices at Monte Carlo didn't know about this, and Lord Bill's face flashed with anger when he heard Adam's words. Nobody has spoken to him like this since he became an apprentice, and he didn't feel that the apprentice before him had the right to talk to him so rudely.

"You must be Adam, the genius who was protected by the Tower and holed himself up in his tiny little laboratory?" Lord Bill asked mockingly.

The Monte Carlo apprentices snickered. To them, Adam was like a closely guarded flower, cultivated in a greenhouse.

The anger in Adam's heart brewed uncontrollably.

Even though he was rational and indifferent before this, he has never actively turned off his emotional modules.

In the last ten years, James had become his oldest friend, and he couldn't believe that James would die in such a meaningless duel, much less against an idiot.

He hates meaningless battles like this. If possible, he would prefer to stay in the laboratory and gain knowledge, but that doesn't mean Adam had no fighting expertise. On the contrary, with knowledge, fighting becomes extremely easy.

Adam retrieved the syringe from James' corpse, putting it into his portable space. Just as he was about to retrieve James' body, a fireball was shot towards Adam, accompanied by the arrogant voice of the Monte Carlo apprentices, "Hey! Lord Bill is talking to you, are you deaf?"

The fireball dissipated mid-air strangely. Adam did not move a single inch, continuing to hold James' body in his arms.

"You are looking for death," Adam muttered with no emotion.

In the distant sky, the devil shuddered, "The master is going to avenge James."

"Funny!" the apprentice laughed, not realising Adam had disappeared abruptly. "The one who is looking for death is-"

Nobody noticed the runes conjured in the air. With Adam as the eye of the storm, a magnetic field was conjured with a radius of 200 metres, and the apprentice was immediately reduced to ash.

Lord Bill and Lord Monica's expressions contorted in horror, feeling a huge amount of magic from this field -- it was a power beyond the limit of apprentice magic! Seeing that Adam was able to cast this instantly with no down-time, they immediately left without telling the other apprentices.

Adam noticed the tiny figures scurrying out the arena, and conjured static electricity across the arena. Lord Bill and Lord Monica attempted to fly out the field, but their magic was interrupted, and they fell face-first into the floor.

Their 'mage armor' was forced out of their soul -- Bill's was colourless, and Monica's was colourful.

The two of them looked at Adam with dread, before looking back at each other, fear painting their eyes. They never thought Adam was this strong, and they witnessed all of the apprentices being pierced by strange metal weapons, instantly annihilating all of the Monte Carlo apprentices.

"Damn it! How could Moldo harbour such a monster?!"

"It can't be! How could electric magic be this... powerful?!"

Adam ignored them, his voice projecting in a loud volume, "In my magnetic field, there is no escape."

Bill and Monica were stunned, watching as endless black 'sand' gushed out from the ground. The 'sand' gathered together in the sky before raining down upon them.

The two of them didn't know what a magnetic field was, thinking this was simply a domain-base magic. They thought that if they could leave the domain, they would survive.

Both of them immediately got up and shot up into the air, but to no avail. The magnetic field slowed down their flight speed considerably -- Monica was able to narrowly avoid a giant sword, coming to the edge of the magnetic field. She immediately lunged forward to escape the magnetic field, but in an instant, her body was sliced in half.

"No!"

Monica's shrill screams sounded in the air; her colourful blood raining down on the ground, "Save me!"

Bill put his hands together on his chest, shattering his pendant. A water curtain was conjured in front of him, blocking the iron sword shot towards him.

"Save me!"

Monica continued to scream, transforming her body into a plant.

Bill phased to her side, casting another water curtain, shielding Monica from another iron sword.

"We need to run!" Monica screamed, turning back into a human. "We need to let a Mage take over!"

Bill grabbed her in his arms and flew to the ground, running away with Monica.

"Calling a mage? How naïve."

A mage would ruin his plan, so he had to make this quick.

Adam snapped his fingers lightly, and lightning smited the both of them, piercing the heavens and the earth. Adam watched as both of them struggled in the lightning, and sighed.
