Chapter 60: Despair (3)

"what are you going to do?"
　　 With Adam's death, the illusion once again became fragments, and then instantly reorganized. It was still a familiar scene without any change, only Adam changed.
　　 Then...
Blood, loyalty, justice, bravery, humility, and all the good qualities were replaced by despair. Adam became more and more insensitive. When he rushed to the mansion for the last time, he was caught by soldiers, and then tortured by the wizard with ancient magic. For seven days and seven nights, after becoming another desperate monster, the illusion was completely shattered, and Adam returned to the soul sea.
　　The Sea of ​​Soul is white and flawless, but there are two gray and ugly desperate monsters living in Adam's soul.
They started fighting for souls, not caring about the damage, just to kill each other, every bite of the fangs, every tear of the claws, all the body information they ripped off was swallowed up by greed. Which one is the soul of Adam and which one is a monster mutated by magic?
　　......
　　 Outside, the trial of Moldo Academy has come to an end. Mage Ryan and Mage Keno removed the rune barrier, relieved the potion's effect, and then gathered the surviving apprentices together.
Nearly a hundred people entered the trial site at the same time a month ago, but only less than forty people have survived so far. The mood of everyone is unspeakable. It is a mixture of joy after the disaster and hope for the future. With complex emotions, everyone is looking for familiar companions everywhere, and every familiar face will arouse great joy.
William survived. During the months in Adam’s laboratory, his strength has improved considerably. Coupled with his fairly good aptitude and affinity with the fire element, his magic is one of the best among apprentices in the same period. During the trial, he assembled a team of more than a dozen people, demonstrated outstanding leadership skills, and successfully brought his companions out of the trial.
　　 "William, what are you looking for?" A female apprentice looked at William with admiration and asked intently.
　　 William pulled out a smile at her, "Find someone."
　　 He asked himself frantically: "Where did he go? Where did he go? How could he die?"
　　 William is looking for Adam, he doesn't believe that the dazzling person will die in such a trial that is like a game for him.
　　 Soon William's gaze swept over everyone present, and there was still no Adam. His behavior attracted everyone's attention. The companions in the team gathered around him worriedly and asked, "What's wrong with you, William?"
　　 "Have you seen Adam?"
　　 Adam? Everyone looked at each other, and they realized that Adam was missing from the survivors. Someone said, "I didn't see it. Maybe he died inside?"
After a moment of silence, someone gloated and said: "I thought he was so powerful, he is not dead in the trial now, haha, with his character, no one wants to be a companion with him at all? It is estimated that he has become a companion now. The excrement of some monster."
　　 William felt a little harsh, but he didn't say anything about it. If Adam is dead, this dispute has no meaning. If Adam is not dead, the speaker will naturally pay the price.
At this time, the two wizards walked in front of everyone and said: "Congratulations, you have passed the trial. After returning to the academy, you can choose to become a free apprentice or sign a contract with the tower, but no matter how you choose, you have become a qualified Master apprentice."
　　 "Leave you one hour to recover your physical and mental strength. One hour later, we will return to the tower through the teleportation array, and then you can start the real college life."
　　 After the two wizards had finished speaking, they turned and left and entered the mobile home. William couldn't help but stepped forward cautiously and knocked on the door after hesitating, and said to the wizard, "Dear Master, Good day."
　　 The door of the mobile home opened automatically, and Master Ryan looked at William and said, "Good day, apprentice."
　　 "My lord, are we all the surviving apprentices?"
　　Mage Lai An said, "Of course."
　　William's face became stiff, and he retired after saluting, and he kept talking to himself. Did Adam really die?
　　 Master Keno looked at him and suddenly said, "Do you know that apprentice named Adam?"
　　 William raised his head fiercely and nodded to Master Keno repeatedly.
　　Mage Keno signaled William to come in. William was too late to appreciate the living environment of the official mage, and followed the Mage Keno to walk inside.
　　 "How could he become like this?" William saw Adam's situation, his pupils contracted unnaturally, and exclaimed in surprise.
　　 Adam’s condition is very bad, his body is so shrivelled that only skin and bones are left, his eyes are closed and his body is constantly twitching, but the most terrifying thing is the gray breath that continues to diffuse from his body.
　　 William muttered to himself: "Negative energy breath, anti-mage?"
　　 Keno Master looked at William in surprise: "Nice insight."
　　 "Adam and I once fought with the apprentices of the anti-mage. Adam destroyed all four apprentices and saved the town of Bran." William looked away from Adam with difficulty and turned his head and said to Mage Keno.
Master Jinuo clapped his hands and said to Master Ryan who was sitting outside: "It turns out that it is. No wonder that big mouse took such a big risk to kill an apprentice in Master Continent. It was his junior who died before. ."
　　 William listened quietly, and then boldly asked: "Master, can you tell me what happened to Adam?"
"There is an official-level anti-mage sneaked into the trial site. He was torn and hit by the ancient magical soul of the first level. The negative energy aura occupied his soul. Well, I have to say that this little guy is very powerful. Fighting with despair, so far there is no sign of defeat."
But as soon as Mage Keno's voice fell, the gray aura swept out like a storm, Adam's face was involuntarily distorted, and Mage Keno threw William out of the room and said to Mage Ryan: "This, is it? The soul is going to be destroyed?"
　　Mage Ryan got up and leaned on the door frame, looked at Adam in pain, and said, "Obviously the little guy can't stand it anymore, don't you still want to kill him?"
Master Keno frowned and stared at Adam. The metal particles in his hand were rising and falling beside him with his guilty conscience. Obviously he didn't know whether he should kill Adam to ease his pain. After a while, he gave up this idea. , Because he found something different.
"Soul tearing this ancient magic is the soul that condenses human despair and soul energy to destroy the target. The effect of this magic should be to destroy, but look at him," Master Keno pointed to Adam, "He seems to be being assimilated now. Have you seen such a phenomenon?"
Mage Ryan’s eyes became crystal-clear red, and dense runes appeared in the middle of the eyes. His gaze penetrated Adam’s body straight into the depths of his soul. He was surprised and said,
Hey, it’s strange, what did this little guy do? ?"
　　 The curiosity of the mage saved Adam's life. They decided to save this special ‘sample’. Maybe they could study something interesting.
The rune in the eyes of Mage Ryan appeared in the air, and then covered Adam’s body. The gray storm was constrained within a certain range, and the outside world could no longer feel the negative energy aura. The mage said: "It seems that it will be temporarily Seal him up, otherwise he will not be able to enter the range of the tower. The law enforcement officers of the academy are not so easy to talk."
　　 William frowned and returned to the clearing where the apprentices gathered. He was still digesting the news and scenes he had just received.
　　 He knew why Adam could not get out of the trial ground, but he couldn't imagine that Adam had fought with an official wizard and survived.
But in the situation just now, Adam is clearly in danger, not necessarily dead, and may become a captive of negative energy. He knows the powerful carrying capacity of mind power, coupled with Adam’s talent, and he has no doubt about this. . After the last incident, he had consulted the simple information of the anti-mage ~EbookFREE.me~ and also knew the attitude of the mainstream wizards towards the anti-mage. If Adam really fell, there would be absolutely no vitality.
　　 Now he doesn't know how to describe his feelings. He and Adam once had a deep contradiction. Although he thought it unilaterally, he should feel relaxed from this point of view. But he also became strong because of Adam. If Adam dies, he will have no guides on the way to practice meditation.
　　 And there is still a strange thought in his heart that he doesn't want to admit that people like Adam shouldn't die in such obscurity.
　　 The apprentices consciously sat a little far away from William. Everyone could tell that he was in a bad mood. At this time, no one wanted to offend this one who was probably the strongest apprentice after Adam.
　　 But they inevitably murmured, based on a very strange idea: the more geniuses that fall, the better, so that my enemies will be fewer, the more resources I can get, and the higher the height I can reach.
　　 William watched and listened to their conversation coldly, and found it very funny.
　　 This kind of people will never think about what kind of talent they have and how much effort they put in. They will always attribute their inability to achieve higher achievements to others, and then be surpassed by more and more people.
He shook his head and threw the complicated thoughts aside. Adam’s affairs are no longer something he can participate in. All he can do is to silently bless him. The next choice after returning to the academy is what he should think about now. .
　　 One hour later, the wizards walked out of the mobile house on time. The house shrank rapidly and disappeared into their hands. What remained in place was a suspended teleportation array.
　　 After a month, everyone, including Adam, once again returned to the academy.
