Wizard's Journey

Amrond and Rafi were on high alert, silently enduring the pressure from the mark coming from the distant sky, pushing their own power to the limit, as if they were about to launch a full-scale battle at any moment.

There's no way around it. Once the mark value reaches ten points, it becomes extremely difficult to kill other wizard apprentices. Moreover, wizard apprentices are now forming groups, making it even harder to seize a mark, unless you're one of the most desperate.

Whoosh!

The moment a wind elemental bat appeared in their field of vision, Raffi drew his bow sharply. Terrifying life force and wind elemental energy surged wildly into the arrow. His eagle-eyed pupils were already locked onto the figure on the elemental bat, as if he was about to unleash a devastating attack.

Seven or eight mysterious golden patterns appeared on Amrond's body. The patterns flowed and writhed, as if they were alive. The silver lightning on the greatsword was instantly stimulated to its limit, bursting out with sparks that "poof, poof" in the air.

Amrond shouted, "Your Excellency the Desperate One, we have no intention of being your enemy. Please leave to avoid conflict!"

Beside him, Raffi had locked his arrow firmly onto the desperate man, his magic and mental power already pushed to their limits.

Although he had been relentless in his words, the thought of actually facing a desperate opponent made him uneasy, and a fine layer of sweat had unknowingly seeped from his forehead.

Puff puff……

The wind elemental bat, thirty meters away from the two, kept flapping its wings and stopped trying to move forward.

Just as Amrongd and Raffi's hearts were pounding in their chests, a head slowly emerged from the back of the wind elemental bat. After a moment of surprise, it exclaimed, "Raffi, Amrongd?"

On the other side, Laffey, who had locked onto the wind elemental bat with Eagle Eye, instinctively trembled when she saw the pale-masked figure emerge. Her first thought was...

Green was killed by this desperate man!

In an instant, an indescribable hatred and an unquenchable raging fury erupted completely in Raffi's eagle eyes.

That was burning love, that was fierce hatred; we must avenge Green!

"what……"

With a painful scream, Raffi released the arrow in his hand.

Whoosh!

The hurricane arrow transformed into a raging hurricane, striking the wind elemental bat almost instantly.

However, at that moment, Green's somewhat surprised voice reached Rafi and Amgond's ears.

"Green? No!!"

With Raffi's incredulous scream, suddenly, the violent hurricane of arrows in the sky transformed into a wind ball, completely engulfing the wind elemental bats and Grin.

Amidst the raging whirlwind, countless hard leaves formed from life magic were also present, slicing through the enemies within like blades.

  

Raffi stared blankly at the sky. No one knew the terror of the most powerful attack spell she had personally designed better than her.

With a "thud," Raffi's body seemed to lose its support, and he knelt on the ground in despair, covering his face with his hands.

His face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and as tears streamed down his face, he stared blankly at the persistent gale in the sky, and Lafite wept uncontrollably.

"What...what have I done? I actually...I actually...Waaaaah..."

Amrond didn't have any magic to enhance his vision. What just happened happened in an instant. Almost the moment the desperate man in the sky called out their names, Raffi's magic had already erupted, completely engulfing the man.

Amrond hasn't even figured out what's going on yet.

Sensing the terrifying energy fluctuations in the air, Amrongd felt a chill run down his spine.

No wonder this sharp-tongued queen has always been so unrestrained. With such strong energy fluctuations, her attack limit must have barely reached 100 degrees!

Moreover, the attack has been ongoing for such a long time...

Just as he was about to ask about the specifics of what had just happened, Amrongd saw Rafi kneeling on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, and was stunned.

On the one hand, I was puzzled as to why Lafite reacted in such a way; on the other hand, I was stunned by the delicate beauty that Lafite displayed in that instant.

So, even the sharp-tongued queen has this side?

After lasting for more than a dozen breaths, the wind spheres and countless life-giving leaves in the sky gradually disappeared. With a thud, a figure fell to the ground in a disheveled state, weakly saying, "Laffey, it's me."

……

on the ground.

Green's face was somewhat pale; the magic power he had just expended was almost equal to that of his brief encounter with Yunli in the previous battle.

Fortunately, he was protected by the Pale Mask's shield, otherwise he would probably have been torn to pieces by Raffi's powerful witchcraft.

Raffi froze for a moment. Amrond, who was standing to the side, had seen Grin wearing a pale mask at the Bloodsail Alliance ball a few days ago. Now, seeing Grin again, he both completely doubted his own memory and tentatively asked, "Grin?"

"Um."

Green answered in a deep voice, still the same mysterious guy in Amlongard's memory who didn't talk much and didn't like attending league gatherings.

Grimm's magic was somewhat disordered due to the excessive consumption of magic power in an instant, and he even had some difficulty standing. However, Amrond was unaware of this because his pale face was covered by the mask.

At this moment, Amgond saw Green emerge from the terrifying sorcery as if nothing had happened, and he immediately felt a sense of unfathomable depth.

"No wonder, no wonder Raffi abandoned Amiida, who had pursued her for three years, and chose this person instead. It turns out there was such a monster hiding within the Alliance!"

Amrongd murmured in a voice only he could hear.

Amrond's expression was rather complicated. He managed a forced smile, knowing that the rest of the time should be given to these two.

At the same time, Amrund was also ashamed of his past arrogance. What was the point of being number one on the list of the top ten new masters? He had actually secretly been complacent about it before.

As Amrond left, Green looked at Raffi, who was still kneeling on the ground in the distance, staring blankly at him, and felt a chill in his heart. What was bound to happen was going to happen.

One can easily imagine how Laffey, who has always been very controlling and eager to show off, would feel if he one day saw that the lover he had always protected was actually someone more powerful than himself.

Green was even certain that if he had displayed greater strength than Raffi on the day of the ball, nothing would have happened afterward.

Green slowly walked towards Raffi, intending to gently help her up, and whispered, "Get up."

Raffi shook off Green's hand, tears welling in her eyes. Staring intently at Green, she asked, her voice trembling, "In your eyes, am I just a clown putting on a show?"

Green quickly replied, "No, you are my lover, my family, the one I want to marry!"

Lover? Family member? Wife?

Raffi chuckled, tears streaming down her face, and said sarcastically, "But I feel that all along I've been playing the foolish idiot, the ignorant admirer who desperately wanted to protect you. Maybe when you saw me stepping in time and time again, you were already laughing your head off at this clown image."

"No!"

Green quickly interrupted Fila, not wanting her to continue overthinking.

Raffi sneered: "No? Then tell me, if I'm not a clown trying not to laugh in your eyes, then what am I? Green, it's because I was immature, too ignorant, too naive before..."

"Stop talking! Raffi, in my eyes you will always be the vine caster who protected me on Helen, the one the naive children on the ship called the Vine King. I will always be by your side and your supporter."

Green hugged Raffi, interrupting her again.

Raffi's body stiffened for a moment.

In an instant, it felt as if he had returned to that time, where he was arrogant, conceited, and disdainful of everyone, only able to hang from the cable by his vine magic, with the endless sea below, like a life-devouring abyss waiting for him.

Just when she was feeling desperate and silently counting down the days until her magic was depleted, it was this man in front of her who pulled her back.

Throughout her life, Raffi never imagined that she would trust and love someone so much, be willing to give him everything, and even be willing to change herself for him.

However, it must be said that at the moment this man pulled her up, deep down Raffi truly felt that this seemingly vulgar, lowly, ignorant, and uninteresting commoner had actually given her the feeling that she was willing to dedicate everything to him.

The sneer slowly faded, and Raffi silently watched Green, seemingly hesitant and struggling.

Seeing Raffi's reaction, Green took out a necklace, the very same trophy he had previously acquired that sealed away resistance to fire magic, and gently placed it around Raffi's neck.

"No matter what happens outside, I will always be the unsung hero by your side, Green, your staunch supporter and the pillar of your support."

Green spoke solemnly, as if it were a vow to protect for a lifetime.

Raffi looked at the Heart of Vine earring that he had personally given to Green's left ear, and listened to the solemn vow Green had made to him. After a long while, he finally stood up silently and said softly, "Let's go and find Joris and Binghamson."

Raffi left without looking back, and Green nodded and silently followed.
