Chapter 19 Cruelty and Chilliness

　Of course, the true intention of this Dark Magician was probably not to occupy an entire complete plane of rules, but rather to sneak through a spatial rift and plunder on the other side.

　　Any creature above level one, regardless of which plane they are on, will undoubtedly stand at the top of the common people with their extraordinary powers and means, which can easily destroy cities and nations.

　　The Dark Magicians are a group of thugs who surpass the ordinary Magicians in terms of destructive power.

　　They may not form legions and summon magic that can destroy an entire continent like the Magicians in the Holy Towers, but their individual combat capabilities are undeniably impressive.

　　Although the words of this Dark Magician revealed his greed and recklessness, as his voice fell, the other Dark Magicians and Andis Magician could not help but flash a hint of longing and interest in their eyes.

　　But ultimately, it was just their imagination.

　　How could they easily find an unexplored virgin plane of rules?

　　The many Holy Towers and Knights' Halls of the Wizarding World never give up exploring in the stars every year, but unfortunately, those complete planes of rules have either been directly occupied by the wizard civilization or have long been brought into the wizard alliance.

　　It is so difficult to find an unexplored plane, let alone a complete plane of rules.

　　Even if it is a semi-plane of resources, these Dark Magicians in Mosobla City are considered lucky.

　　The only thing to worry about is if the Space-Time Rift leads to a broken plane with no significant value, then it would be a wasted effort.

　　In fact, the possibility of a broken plane is high because the number of such planes is the highest in the star realm.

　　As the three Dark Magicians whispered to each other, the grade assessment on the training field was already half over.

　　The battles between low-level apprentices and entry-level apprentices had ended early, and only a few intermediate and advanced apprentices were still competing.

　　In the battle zone belonging to the advanced apprentices, the movement there was the most astonishing.

　　The training field, as a place provided by the Dark Magic Academy for apprentices to experiment with magic, is naturally unquestionably sturdy.

　　However, there were still large pits appearing in the training field during the battles of these advanced apprentices.

　　Even in the half-air of the training field, there were occasional waves of elemental ripples, which were the result of the collision between the magic released by the advanced apprentices and the Magic Spring shield in mid-air.

　　Due to the three official Dark Magicians who were responsible for grading the students chatting instead of doing their job, a group of seven owl overseers from the Catowl Academy flew around the training ground to prevent any potential accidents that may harm innocent students or cause severe damage to the training facility.

　　So far, over twenty beginner-level apprentices were injured or killed, seven low-level apprentices died, and even two intermediate-level apprentices fell.

　　However, the advanced-level apprentices, who had stronger magic and caused greater damage, didn't suffer any casualties because of the presence of the owl overseers.

　　"I think Joni is too kind in raising these little guys," one of the Dark Magicians said. "If we followed the elimination rules of the Black Realm in the Western Isles, we should throw them all into the Beast Forest or the Underground Crypt to be tested.

　　Only those who survive and possess ten skulls of same-level apprentices or the Crystal Core of the beasts can receive corresponding rewards, instead of letting these little guys challenge on their own like this."

　　"What are we doing here, playing house?" AndisMagician, who exuded a cold aura, interrupted the low conversation of the two Dark Magicians beside him.

　　Andis's words made the already chilly atmosphere even colder.

　　Even the two Dark Magicians were shocked.

　　They were Dark Magicians who had committed crimes and were wanted by the Holy Tower.

　　They didn't start out as Dark Magicians like Andis, who was said to come from the Western Isles.

　　Although they gradually became indifferent to human life after becoming Dark Magicians, they still felt uneasy when faced with Andis's cold, cruel, and dark rules.

　　One of the Dark Magicians chuckled and said, "If we followed the Black Realm's apprentice elimination mechanism, I'm afraid these little guys in front of us wouldn't even survive ten percent of the time."

　　"Hmph, what's the point of keeping weaklings alive?" Andis snorted.

　　This Dark Magician was a bit overwhelmed. As an official Dark Magician, he had some understanding of the Wizarding World's situation and the Black Realm's conditions.

　　He shook his head and said, "The Black Realm is able to maintain this apprentice elimination mechanism because there are enough islands and continents in the Western Archipelago to provide them with a steady supply of apprentice seeds."

　　"Even the smaller continents have several human kingdoms with large populations."

　　"On the other hand, our Shadowy Territory... hehe, although it was glorious in ancient times according to legend, it is still considered the hinterland of the wizarding continent."

　　"Not to mention the Belen Empire, a top power in the Wizarding World, and the several Holy Towers and Knights' Halls around us, which we cannot afford to provoke," said the Dark Magician.

　　Surviving in the midst of many forces is not an easy task.

　　Not to mention that the Dark Magician is not welcome in the various Holy Towers and Knights' Halls of the Wizarding World.

　　Although it is a lucrative job to plunder people and wealth on the Surface, it often comes with danger.

　　Being able to maintain the basic operation of this magic academy with a few hundred apprentices is already the result of the efforts of the three deans.

　　If we were to completely copy the rules of the Black Realm, these apprentices would soon be reduced to only two or three.

　　This is different from the original intention of the three deans.

　　These apprentices are all useful...

　　The Dark Magician's retort made Andis' eyes freeze, and his pupils seemed to produce a hint of cold, making the two Dark Magicians opposite him tremble involuntarily.

　　If they had doubted Andis' strength before, there was no doubt now that he was indeed a peak level one Magician, and one who was about to break through to level two.

　　Only a level two Magician possesses the characteristic of an elemental avatar, which creates such a cold feeling.

　　Speaking of this Master Andis, he is also related to Sain and Lena.

　　Two months ago, Scarface Joque and Sain had a conflict on Black Street, and one of the main reasons was that Joque tried to enter Andis' view through the grade assessment and become his disciple.

　　Among all the intermediate apprentices at the Dark Magic Academy, Lena, who was strong and temporarily without a mentor at the time, was his biggest competitor.
