Wizard: I can predict the future

next moment.

The mother night wolf spider stopped paying attention to the group's attacks.

Its body suddenly contracted.

Then it erupted.

"Stop it!"

Alvin roared.

The ground shook violently, and several earthen walls were instantly uprooted.

boom!

The first earthen wall was smashed to pieces.

Gravel flew everywhere.

One of the pieces hit Alvin on the shoulder, causing him to grunt and take a half-step back.

The second one.

The third way.

Continuous breaking.

Ryan's expression changed.

Runes piled up wildly in front of her, and a dark curse landed directly on the mother spider.

Its speed noticeably slowed, but it still didn't stop.

Nord has already made a move.

No more arrows were shot.

He held a long spear and approached the mother spider at an extremely fast speed.

The mother spider had almost reached Irene.

The distance is less than ten meters.

Nord took a step and landed.

His body suddenly lunged forward, and his spear swept horizontally!

boom!

He did not use a thorn.

Although the spikes are more powerful, they are not strong enough to harm the mother spider's carapace.

Not to mention delaying the process.

He used all his strength in that attack.

Combined with the running start, it forcefully turned the mother spider's body to the side.

The momentum changed, and the mother spider rolled to her side.

The venom that was originally intended for Irene narrowly missed her.

It eventually landed on a young spider in the distance, decaying it into blood.

"One second left!"

Ryan growled, his voice tense.

With a wave of his magic wand, a streak of rainbow light struck the mother spider precisely.

The mother spider struggled frantically, supporting herself on her eight legs.

next moment.

An invisible mental shock suddenly spread out.

The air stagnated.

Nord felt a jolt in his mind.

There was a brief blank in my mind.

I stumbled and almost lost my balance.

The spiderlings in the distance froze on the spot, then collapsed.

After that.

The mother spider's breath suddenly weakened, her eight legs drooped limply, and her entire body lay motionless on the ground.

If it weren't for the slight contraction of the abdomen, it would be almost indistinguishable from a corpse.

Almost at the moment it unleashed its mental shock.

Irene opened her eyes.

The wind stopped.

All the turbulent air currents around them fell completely silent in that instant.

next moment.

A fire crow the size of a palm appeared before her.

It is not large in size.

It was incredibly hot, distorting the surrounding air.

The fire crow gently flapped its wings.

Then it plunged straight down!

There was no large-scale explosion.

It was only a fleeting moment of contact.

laugh!

The mother spider's body rapidly carbonized from the point of contact.

The fire raven pierced straight through the mother spider's head, leaving a circular passage in the center of her skull that extended all the way into the ground.

Nord had just regained his composure.

Yet, one could still feel a lingering mental shock.

The flow of magic was momentarily disrupted.

If it weren't for the fact that he had meditated for a year during his deductions before setting off, which increased his mental strength several times over, he wouldn't have been able to achieve this.

At this moment, their mental strength will probably be severely damaged.

He subconsciously looked at the Dark Night Wolf Spider.

The book does not mention that the Night Wolf Spider also possesses the ability to strike with mental energy.

Clearly, this is a mutated night wolf spider.

at the same time.

Irene's body swayed suddenly, and she fell from mid-air.

Nord stepped forward quickly.

He caught her in his arms.

The moment he touched her, he felt her body temperature was unusually high, her breathing was rapid, but her eyes were clear.

It was clearly not due to the mental impact of the tarantula, but rather the excessive energy consumed by the witchcraft that had just been unleashed.

He put Irene down.

Behind them, Alvin and Ryan also slowly regained consciousness.

On the ground, there were only spiderlings that had died from the impact of mental energy.

At this time.

Nord suddenly heard footsteps coming from afar.

It wasn't just one person.

The speed was not slow, and there was no attempt to conceal it.

He looked at Irene and the others.

Someone is approaching.

Alvin and Ryan quickly moved closer and looked into the distance.

A short while later, four figures emerged from the woods.

Two men and two women.

The leader was a tall, thin man with a cold expression. His gaze swept over the group before landing directly on the still-smoking remains of the mother spider in the center.

"They acted quite quickly."

"We had just discovered their presence when they were taken care of first."

His gaze fell on Nord and the others.

With a hint of scrutiny, and also a touch of undisguised probing.

Irene had steadied her breathing and looked at the man in the lead.

"You're too late."

The leading man slowly took a step forward, his gaze fixed on her.

"Are you late?"

"Eileen, have you forgotten the rules of the Trial Forest?"

His gaze swept over her slightly weak state.

"Or are you saying that you've only cast a level 0, first-tier spell, and you're confident you can face the four of us?"

After he finished speaking, he and the three people beside him let out a breath.

They were two level-two wizard apprentices and two level-three wizard apprentices.

Irene's expression changed drastically.

"Edgar, what do you mean?!"

The air tensed instantly.

Edgar did not answer, but simply raised his hand.

The two people behind him slowly separated, subtly forming an encirclement.

Edgar glanced past Irene and looked at Alvin.

"Alvin, what's wrong?"

"You're not planning to come out?"

"Without the sniffer flies you provided, we wouldn't be able to keep up so closely."

Alvin slowly took a step back from Irene's side.

One step, two steps, until he stood on Edgar's side.

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

Irene's expression froze, as if she hadn't reacted.

"Alvin?"

Her voice dropped for a moment.

Ryan's pupils contracted slightly, and he tightened his grip on the magic staff.

Nord didn't move, but his gaze darkened slightly.

This must be because the two sides had a long-standing grudge.

He hadn't expected to encounter something like this on his first visit to the Forest of Trials.

Alvin didn't look up, his fingers tightening slightly.

A few seconds later, he slowly exhaled.

Don't look at me like that.

Irene stared intently at him.

"What do you mean?"

Alvin finally looked up.

The hesitation in his eyes vanished completely.

Instead, there was a long-suppressed discontent.

"What do you mean?"

He chuckled, but it was a cold laugh.

"What's the point of following you?"

Irene was taken aback.

Alvin's voice grew louder and louder.

It's like something that's been building up for too long, and then it just bursts out all at once.

"It's always the same."

"You're at the forefront, so you'll get priority access to resources."

"We all share the risks, but what about the rewards?"

He pointed to the remains of the mother spider.

"We fought tooth and nail to get this."

"and then?"

"Exchange for some points, get some materials."

"Do you think that's enough?"

Irene's face darkened completely.

"If you feel it's unfair, you can tell me, but how could you side with Edgar?"

"Have you forgotten how Carlyle died?"

Alvin seemed to have heard something funny.

"Eileen, this is the wizarding world."

"Survival of the fittest".

"The quiz is coming up soon, do you know what that is?"

His voice was low, yet extremely sharp.

"That's not a place for testing us; it's a real battlefield!"

Edgar, standing to the side, seemed to be enjoying the sight of his companions killing each other.

Alvin looked up at Edgar, who had a big smile on his face.

"But Edgar is different; he has already been chosen by a first-level wizard apprentice."

"If I pass this quiz, I can go directly into their lab."
