Chapter 29: Apprentice's First Battle (Please read, collect, and recommend!)
Chapter 29
"Firebird!"
A small bird made of flames flapped its wings and flew towards a Night Shadow Bunker apprentice in front.
The apprentice's pupils suddenly contracted and a look of horror appeared on his face. Before he even had the chance to cast any defensive spells, he was swallowed up by the firebird and turned into charred residue.
"That's it?"
The wizard apprentice of the forge curled his lips into a smile, his eyes full of contempt.
"Ice Kiss!"
His companion sneered and chanted a spell, followed by an ice spell that accurately hit another Nightshadow Bunker apprentice.
The frost froze the apprentice's movements, and his body instantly broke into ice and flew in all directions.
The two Forge apprentices were obviously full of confidence. As students of wizards, there was a big gap between their strength and that of ordinary apprentices.
However, the situation on the battlefield soon changed. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a rustling sound was heard from deep in the woods, and more Night Shadow Bunker apprentices followed.
Several more figures emerged from the dense shadows of the trees and gradually surrounded them, leaving them no chance to breathe.
As the saying goes, "Many ants can kill an elephant." Although the two of them are the best among the wizard apprentices, they are not formal wizards after all, and there is no insurmountable gap in strength between them and these Night Shadow Bunker apprentices.
The spread of the incense had already exposed their location.
As more and more Nightshadow Bunker apprentices flock in, the situation is not optimistic...
At the same time, Lin En and the other two were approaching the main force.
The three-man team reached a consensus before setting off: not to actively engage in battle with the apprentices in Night Shadow Bunker, and to prioritize joining up with the main force.
After all, among the three, only Sonya has real suppressive combat power, while Lynn and Colin's combat power is relatively limited and they rely more on their own ability to survive.
At the beginning of the trip, Lin En and the other two had a relatively smooth journey.
Apart from successfully avoiding the attack of the Night Shadow Spider, they did not encounter any major danger along the way.
However, the goddess of luck cannot always be with them.
The next morning, Lynn finally faced his first battle as a wizard apprentice.
The sunlight shines through the sparse treetops onto the ground, creating patches of mottled light and shadows, and the air is filled with subtle light caused by the Tyndall effect.
The silence in the forest was suddenly broken, and four figures slowly walked out from behind the thick tree trunk in front of the three people.
These people were wearing the same wizard robes with a dark night symbol on their chests. They were obviously apprentices of Nightshadow Bunker.
The two teams met in the jungle. The air froze instantly. The seven people looked at each other with murderous intent in their eyes and were on the verge of a fight.
As the breeze from the jungle blew by, the tension in the air grew stronger, like an invisible rope that bound the two teams tightly in a standoff.
Lynn's eyes were as calm as water, without any fear or panic, instead there was a steady calmness.
For him, the duel with the biggest gap in strength should be the assessment to enter the Crucible, the life-and-death battle between him and Russell.
At that time, he was just a skinny little monkey, but he was facing a knight squire who was tall and strong and had an imposing manner.
And now, although there are four wizard apprentices against three wizard apprentices, and he is only a second-level wizard apprentice, the gap is not as big as he imagined.
Lin En raised his hand slightly, and the crystal ball in his robe floated quietly.
His mental power gently pulled the crystal ball, and he quickly found out the opponent's strength clearly.
"Two third-level wizard apprentices and two second-level wizard apprentices. Their mental power data are 25, 26, 13, and 12 respectively."
Lynn whispered the message to Colin and Sonya.
When the three of them formed the team, they confessed their strengths to each other and already had a certain tactical understanding among themselves.
As early as when the team was formed, the three of them had revealed their secrets to each other so that they could plan tactics among themselves.
With the help of his teacher, Lin En successfully became a scout of the team, and attracted Sonya's envious gaze.
Rosalind's students are indeed enviable in other aspects except for their fighting ability.
Before fighting, they will first judge the opponent's strength. If they can beat them, then the three of them will fight. If the situation is not good, the three of them will plan to run away directly!
At the moment, it is obviously within the scope of fighting!
"Take my flame attack!"
Colin was the first to attack, his voice echoing through the woods like a battle horn.
Without any hesitation, he quickly recited the witchcraft spell. In just three breaths, a beam of blazing flame shot out from his hand and pointed directly at one of the third-level wizard apprentices.
Flame Bombardment is an advanced zero-ring witchcraft. The spell is more complicated than ordinary witchcraft, but Colin has mastered a unique "fragmented casting" technique that can greatly shorten the casting time.

His attacks were precise and decisive, with roaring flames and unstoppable momentum.
On the other side, Sonya also decisively confronted another third-level wizard apprentice and a second-level wizard apprentice.
Her movements were skillful and efficient, without any unnecessary pauses. In just a few breaths, she released two spells at the same time.
Lynn only glanced at Colin and Sonya out of the corner of his eye and was not worried about their strength.
Through the crystal ball, he had already found out the mental power data of the two: Sonya's mental power was as high as 35, while Colin's was 38.
Although Colin may not be able to fully exert some of his mental power due to taking the "Earth Fruit", Sonya can exert her full strength without reservation.
As for Lin En himself, his eyes were fixed on the remaining second-level wizard apprentice.
The opponent's mental power is two points higher than Lin's, but as they are both second-level wizard apprentices, this gap is not unbridgeable.
"Twelve points of mental strength... Without the support of magic items or potions, the opponent can only release five to six intermediate zero-ring witchcraft at most."
Lin En analyzed the situation silently, quickly thinking of a response strategy in his mind.
His opportunities for sorcery are extremely limited - due to the existence of Ifgrid, he can only release a sorcery once, so every attack must be made with great caution to ensure that it hits the target.
While Lin En was thinking, the other party had already taken action.
"Breath of the Wraith!"
The apprentice of Nightshadow Bunker chanted witchcraft spells, and his low voice mixed with the cold wind around him to create an ominous atmosphere.
"Negative energy witchcraft?"
Lin En's pupils shrank slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, and there was even a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Compared with the more common elemental witchcraft, negative energy witchcraft appears to be more bizarre and difficult to deal with during the wizard's apprenticeship stage.
But Lin En had the Heart of Flower Language in his hand, which gave him enough confidence in any type of attack.
As the magic was completed, Lynn felt a chill, as if a cold wind was penetrating his robes.
Then, a terrifying shadow appeared in his sight:
A white-skinned female ghost with disheveled hair, drooping eyes, and an exaggeratedly distorted mouth, spewed towards him with streams of inky black resentment.
