The most powerful wizard in the magic world

Ars frowned and clenched his fists, "We can't just leave like this and let the murderer get away with it!"

"What do you want to do?" Gerlin's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes flashed with flames of fear and anger.

"Chase him, sound the alarm, and let the entire academy know the news!" Ars's eyes were firm, as if ignited by the flames of hatred.

"No." Gerling shook his head. "We can't alert more people here. This will only make things worse."

"Are you just going to sit there and wait for death?" Ars' voice gradually rose. "That thorn not only killed someone, but also stole his badge! This is a provocation to the entire academy! We can't let him succeed!"

The argument between the two echoed in the cabin. Gerling took a deep breath, and the uneasiness in his eyes was gradually replaced by determination. "We must first confirm where he went, and then consider the next step."

"Okay." Ars finally agreed, "But I have to know the truth of all this. We can't let him get away without a trace."

Gerlin nodded, walked into the house, and carefully checked everything around him. His eyes fell on a badge that was flickering next to the apprentice's body. This badge was a symbol of every apprentice, but now it looked so innocent in a pool of blood. Just as he was about to pick up the badge, a shadow suddenly passed by the window, causing him to be alarmed.

"Did you see it?" Ars asked in a low voice, his face turning pale.

"I... feel something is moving." Gerling stared out the window but found nothing.

"We have to be careful." Als suggested, "Perhaps we can follow the direction he fled and look for clues."

"Yes, we should not stay here for long." Gerlin nodded in agreement, turned around and walked out quickly, took another look at the apprentice's body, and felt extremely heavy in his heart. They walked out of the hut, and the moonlight outside shone on the surrounding wilderness, like a layer of light silver yarn.

"Over there, there are footprints," Ars pointed out, his eyes fixed on the marks on the ground.

Gellin leaned over and looked carefully. The messy footprints pointed to a path leading deep into the forest. Although he was filled with fear, he decided to follow the trail. "We must stay alert and don't let him notice."

"I understand." Ars nodded. Although his face was full of uneasiness, he also felt the weight of this responsibility.

The two walked quietly along the path, and about ten minutes later, they came to an open area surrounded by tall trees. The moonlight cast mottled shadows through the gaps between the trees, and the air was filled with a chilly atmosphere.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound behind the tree. Gerlin and Ars stopped immediately, almost afraid to breathe. "Did you hear it?" Gerlin asked in a low voice.

"I heard it." A trace of vigilance appeared on Ars's face, "Be careful, it might be that guy."

At the moment when they were about to be exposed, they finally saw a figure flashing out. It was the earth thorn! He held the badge in one hand and a weapon similar to a scimitar in the other, staring at the two coldly.

"I didn't expect you to chase me." Tu Ci said sarcastically, a confident smile spreading across his face. "But you are too naive. You want to catch me?"

"Give the badge back!" Ars roared, clenching his fists as if he was ready for the upcoming battle.

"Badge?" Tu Ci smiled contemptuously. "In my hands, this thing is meaningless. Your so-called academy is nothing but a group of self-righteous fools."

Gerling felt powerless. "Why did you kill him?"

"Because he is too weak! In this world, only the strong can survive." Tu Ci said coldly, "Do you want to challenge me? You are not qualified."

Ars's face turned angry. "You are such a despicable villain! We will never allow you to continue doing evil!"

The earth spikes suddenly attacked them, extremely fast. Gerlin and Ars reacted quickly and started fighting. Ars was the first to attack, rushing towards the earth spikes, but the earth spikes nimbly avoided the attack. The scimitar in his hand flashed with cold light and rushed straight towards Ars.

"Attention!" Gerlin shouted and quickly stood in front of Ars. The two of them narrowly avoided the attack.

"He's too fast!" Ars panted, filled with fear of this enemy.

"Don't be afraid, keep dealing with him and look for opportunities to attack!" Gerlin's eyes flashed with fighting spirit. They must unite to fight against this opponent.

The two gradually coordinated and began to move around Tu Ci flexibly, using their familiar environment to fight. Tu Ci was forced to retreat for a while, but he did not show weakness. Instead, he became more and more courageous and swung his weapon more quickly. Each of his strikes contained great power, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of danger.

Gradually, Ars's strength began to decline, and Gerling felt uneasy. He knew that if this continued, they would all be at a disadvantage. "We have to find a way to delay time!" he reminded Ars.

"I know, but he is too strong!" Ars panted, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Concentrate your strength and try to hit him, find his weakness!" Gerlin encouraged, raising his resolve. "I'll attract his attention, and you take the opportunity to strike him."

"Okay!" Although Ars was still afraid, he nodded and prepared to fight. Gerlin cleared his throat and shouted, "Do you think you can do whatever you want by yourself?"

This sentence really caused a reaction from Tuci. Tuci was furious and turned to attack Gerlin fiercely. At this time, Als took the opportunity to attack from the side and punched Tuci's chin hard.

"You should pay for your crimes!" Gerling's voice was particularly clear in the battle.

Tu Ci was hit by this sudden attack and was pushed back a few steps. He obviously did not expect the two to counterattack like this. However, his anger did not subside, but became even crazier. He sneered at Gerlin, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

"It's worth a fight, but you are indeed too naive." Tu Ci said, swung his scimitar and flew towards Gerlin.

"Gerlin, be careful!" Ars exclaimed, his heart tightening involuntarily.
