Chapter 76

The appearance of Hobie and the other three intermediate apprentices made Sain's eyes narrow.

However, the more pressing situation was that an increasing number of intermediate apprentices seemed to view Sain and Lina as easy targets.

If they didn't quickly deal with Hobie and the others, Sain and Lina would face even more trouble.

The intermediate-level magic, Flame Hand, slowly took shape as Sain chanted rapidly.

Lina was even faster, a deep blue Violent Fireball gradually appearing in her hand.

The power of this Violent Fireball was perfectly demonstrated in the Black Street battle.

However, Sain realized that the greater utility of this fireball lay in the chaos it would cause after exploding and dispersing into over twenty small fireballs.

True to their years of intimate companionship, Sain instantly understood Lina's intent. As he carried her forward, the invisibility cloak on his back quietly activated.

When Sain and Lina's figures disappeared from the sight of the three blocking apprentices in front of them,

the powerful Flame Hand and the highly effective Violent Fireball instantly ignited a sea of fire in the surrounding yellow sand.

Screams echoed in Sain's ears.

The invisibility cloak directly deprived Hobie and the other three intermediate apprentices of their attack target, and neither Sain nor Lina's earth element shields were broken.

On the contrary, the three blocking apprentices were left in the flames, their fates unknown.

Sain had no time to look back and check the results.

The retreat of Hobie and the others did not mean the crisis was over.

Many people didn't even notice the outcome of Hobie and the others. Driven by the will to survive, four more intermediate apprentices surrounded them from different directions.

A strong acid staff quietly appeared in Sain's hand, and at the same time, a hurricane staff appeared in Lina's hand.

However, before Sain and Lina could activate these two high-level magic storage items, a rough voice came from the side.

"Get out of the way!" A large black shadow, moving at a speed beyond the limits of ordinary magic apprentices, charged straight toward the location of the spatial passage.

This large shadow was none other than the advanced apprentice Stenson, who had activated his bloodline beast transformation. His strength was even more exaggerated than what Sain had seen in the desert a few months ago.

Standing at a full three meters tall, he slapped away an intermediate apprentice blocking his path with a single hand.

Another intermediate apprentice happened to be in his path and was struck in the head by a more sinister ice spike cast by the intermediate apprentice Mari on Stenson's back, dying instantly.

These two intermediate apprentices had originally been heading for Sain and Lina, but they were unexpectedly dealt with by Mari and Stenson.

Sain didn't have time to thank them. After recognizing who had helped, he instantly activated the strong acid staff in his hand and the hurricane staff in Lina's hand.

Two more intermediate apprentices were directly knocked down in the yellow sand.

However, in a twist of fate, Sain, who was in an invisible state, was hit by an elemental missile from an unknown source.

The protection of the earth element shield prevented Sain and Lina from taking any additional damage, but it slowed his forward movement.

"Sain, hurry up!" Senior Fil, who had somehow already reached the spatial passage, called out anxiously, seeing that Sain was still far away.

A high-level magic Flame Blade appeared at the tip of Senior Fil's magic staff.

To cover Sain, Fil also released four or five intermediate-level magic spells stored in her magic items.

The cover provided by Senior Fil, along with the assistance of Mari and Stenson, allowed Sain to burst forth with renewed strength and finally reach the spatial passage.

Hastily raising the elemental sphere in his hand and infusing it with magic, Sain immediately felt a strong pulling force lock onto him.

Senior Fil and Mari, Stenson, and the others were even faster.

A red light flashed, and they disappeared one by one.

To think that the elemental spheres of Mari and Stenson had been seized by Sain before.

Unexpectedly, after a few months, they had managed to gather enough elemental spheres to escape, whether by robbing intermediate apprentices or ambushing a high-level apprentice.

The appearance of the red energy pillar made Sain, who had already expended a lot of mental and magical energy, sigh in relief.

However, before he could fully relax, another intense tremor came.

"Hmph, want to stop me from entering that broken world? Then the coordinates and spatial rift of this world are no longer necessary!"

"If I can't have it, neither will you!" An aged and angry voice echoed.

Intense elemental fluctuations and impacts roamed the heavens and earth.

This time, even the plane environment of the Yellow Sand World was affected, resonating.

At the edge of the sky, a powerful sandstorm was rapidly approaching.

The path of this sandstorm did not actually include the spatial passage, but it was pulled over by the power of a peak third-level grand mage.

The approach of the sandstorm was secondary.

What made Sain and Lina's faces change was that the red light pillars around them, affected by the elemental impact, had dimmed significantly, and the pulling force had become increasingly weak.

"You two, I can only take one of you."

"Let it be you, Moshido's disciple." A cold female voice echoed again.

When Deputy Dean Joan's voice appeared in Sain and Lina's minds, they showed different expressions.

Sain was incredulous, while Lina remained calm, even silent.

Only the slight movement of her eyelashes indicated that Lina's inner state was not calm.

But when she heard that the one to be saved would be Sain, Lina did not say a word from start to finish.

Lina showed no reaction, but Sain couldn't help but shout, "No!"

In just a short moment, Sain made a decision that would affect his life.

He pushed all the elemental spheres in his hand into Lina's hand.

Looking at Lina's stunned expression, Sain said quickly, "Twelve years ago, if it weren't for you, I would never have grown to where I am now."

"Six years ago, that night was our first time, and I will never forget it."

"Let me do something for you!"

After saying this, the red light around Sain, who had lost his elemental spheres, dimmed sharply.

On the contrary, after receiving the dozen or so elemental spheres from Sain, the pulling force on Lina became more stable.

Lina opened her mouth, as if to say something, but the red light flashed, and with her disappearance, Sain did not hear her final words.

A string of black crystal beads fell from where Lina had disappeared.

Sain quickly caught them.

This string of beads was a magic item left to Lina by her previous mentor, which she cherished the most.

Although the black crystal beads were relatively cold, through this string of beads, Sain felt as if he could sense Lina's warmth.

"Stay alive!" Sain sighed in his heart.

The other side of the spatial passage was clearly not safe either. The aftereffects of the battle between two peak third-level grand mages and an unknown number of official black mages could easily wipe out any weak apprentice.

Of course, compared to Lina, Sain's situation was even more urgent.

The moment the red light disappeared, the sandstorm suddenly descended.

It instantly engulfed Sain and the other black magic apprentices who were still fighting or struggling.

In the overwhelming sandstorm, Sain could only rely on the wobbling earth element shield on his body. In the chaos, he also saw a flash of black light.
