Chapter 158 Apprentice City: Class and Battle

Magical energy kept erupting from the sky.

The situation in the Apprentice City below is becoming increasingly chaotic.

In the empty classroom, Dorothy was arguing with Elor.

"No, I said no and that's final." Dorothy shook her head, refusing to let Elor leave.

"Whether as a nobleman or a magic teacher in the City of Apprentices, my status does not allow me to sit here and wait right now," Elor said pleadingly.

She couldn't just stand by and watch those apprentices outside be killed.

Dorothy simply pointed outside.

"As you felt, even the residual power of the magic was enough to kill you if you were affected."

"Besides, you've already fought those people. You know the difference in strength yourself. Do you want me to send you out to your death?"

"Now, let's leave here with Anna. As for the other apprentices and teachers, I will go and rescue them. As for the outcome, I can only say I will do my best."

At that moment, in the direction Dorothy was pointing, lay the corpse of an apprentice.

Both Dorothy and Elor remained silent.

Dorothy glanced at Anna discreetly.

Anna silently shook her head.

She would only protect Dorothy's safety, especially in such a chaotic and dangerous situation, Anna would never leave Dorothy alone.

Anna was willing to help Dorothy find Leonce because the two were near the Alchemist's Tower and wouldn't be too far apart, so even if something happened, Anna could quickly get to Dorothy's side.

But that's already the limit.

In Anna's heart, Dorothy is the most important person.

If Dorothy is in danger, Anna will immediately abandon Elor and Lyons to rush to Dorothy's side.

Dorothy was unaware of her importance to Anna, but she knew Anna wouldn't help in any way during the riots.

Even Anna's previous search for Leonce was because it was Dorothy's request.

"Elor, haven't you grasped the situation? The enemy is fully prepared. Every one of our magic teachers has been attacked, and the headmaster is tied up. In this situation, who are you going to save? Who can you even save?"

Leonce was leaning against the table, her right sleeve cut off, and her left hand holding a clean handkerchief pressed against her right arm.

Her right hand was injured in the battle with the enemy.

That's why Leons knew that this opponent was no ordinary one.

Moreover, by this time most of the magic towers in the City of Apprentices had already fallen.

The other party acted very cleverly.

The attack took place while most of the magicians were in class.

Without the support of a magic tower, there are many variables in battles between mages of the same level.

However, it is clear that most of the magic teachers in the City of Apprentices lack variables.

Moreover, Leona always felt something was amiss.

Elor had only recently broken through to the intermediate level of magic, and her understanding of those powerful spells was still very superficial.

They also had no idea just how powerful the defensive magic of the Apprentice City was.

But Leona knew.

The defensive magic of the Apprentice City is not so easily broken, even from the inside.

At this moment, there are three mages as the apparent enemies.

But Leona's intuition told her that there were hidden enemies.

Their strength may be even greater than that of a mage.

As for whether he was a mage or a great mage, Leona didn't know, but he was definitely not someone she could possibly know.

So Leona decided to be cautious.

If you can get away, then try to get away.

Elor lowered her head, her eyes dim.

She's too weak; a mid-level mage can't do anything.

Elor knew in her heart that staying here would only be a hindrance.

She didn't want to back down at the last minute.

But the reality is that even if she fights bravely, she won't achieve much.

Elor wasn't an idealist; she understood perfectly well the difference in strength.

The magical world has a clear hierarchy.

Even just one level higher creates an insurmountable chasm.

It was precisely because Elor knew all this that she felt helpless.

Having the ability to do something but choosing not to is a sign of a lack of responsibility.

To do something without the ability is arrogance.

Elor was clearly not an arrogant person.

While Elor hesitated, Anna suddenly spoke up: "Don't worry about it anymore, it seems like none of us can leave."

"Hmm?" Dorothy asked, looking at Anna with a puzzled expression.

Anna pointed to the sky outside.

Dorothy peeked outside.

At this moment, a huge red magic circle appeared in the sky above the City of Apprentices.

"Well----"

Dorothy remained silent.

Leons sighed helplessly, "They're really well prepared; they've even blocked off any escape routes."

Above the sky was a huge complex magic circle.

The moment the magic was unleashed, it severed all communication magic, preventing any information from being sent out from the City of Apprentices.

Subsequently, the magic circle unfolded its second phase without attracting anyone's attention, physically sealing off the City of Apprentices.

At this moment, a huge bowl-shaped barrier beneath the red magic circle enveloped the entire City of Apprentices, sealing off this space. People outside could not enter, and people inside could not leave.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of my hesitation that everyone missed the best time to leave." Elor lowered her head, feeling somewhat guilty.

Dorothy sighed and comforted her, "Don't overthink it. The moment that magic circle was set up, we probably lost our chance to leave, so it's none of your business."

Now that we can't leave, we need to start thinking of other ways.

Directly destroying the magic circle is probably impossible.

The only options are to find the weak point in the magic circle or to locate the magician who set it up.

Dorothy then looked at Anna.

"Anna, can you find the weak point in this magic circle?"

Anna simply said, "I can try."

Dorothy nodded upon hearing this.

"Alright, you stay here to protect Elor and Lyons, and find the weak point in the magic circle. I'll go find the magician who cast this spell—and also rescue the other teachers and apprentices."

After a pause, Dorothy looked at Elor and said her last words.

Elor pursed her lips, her face showing a mixture of worry and gratitude.

"Thank you," she said softly.

Just as Dorothy turned to leave, Elor's voice came from behind her again.

"Take care on your journey."

Dorothy smiled and confidently flicked her bangs with her hand.

"Wait for me to come back."

After saying this, she pulled the hood of her magic robe over her head and cast the disguise spell Anna had taught her, instantly twisting Dorothy's figure.

The time has come for justice to be served.

At this moment, on the battlefield in the sky, Gareth frowned as he looked at the red magic circle above his head.

The white-bearded old man standing opposite him chuckled, "Gares, this was specially prepared for you. How about it? Now your teleportation magic can't be used, can it?"

Upon hearing this, Gareth gripped his magic wand tightly.

Just now, he was able to use teleportation magic to deal with the old man on the other side.

But now—
