Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy-Chapter 606 - 604: Blood for Blood

Chapter 606: Chapter 604: Blood for Blood

“Thunder Emperor, what do we do now?”

Everyone’s gaze naturally turned to the only emperor on the field.

For the first time, Thunder Emperor of the Lei race, Pan Sai, felt uncomfortable under so much scrutiny. His complexion fluctuated, revealing his unease.

“Send the order, withdraw the troops immediately!”

Pan Sai thought of the sorcerers, who had not just one but two Void Kings among them. Grinding his teeth and with an embarrassed expression, he uttered a command he had never thought he’d have to give—a testament to his responsibility as a leader of his people.

With his words, a sigh of relief silently went through the Ancient Kings.

“Quick, withdraw the Black Scale tribe!”

“Lei tribe, retreat immediately!”

“Feather tribe, withdraw!”

As the retreat orders swiftly reached the army outside the city, the encampment erupted into chaos, with troops scattering in all directions away from Truth City.

An army’s defeat is akin to a collapsing mountain—that was the situation of the Alien Race’s forces at the moment.

In stark contrast within the city, the sorcerers’ spirits were far too elated to be captured by mere words. Truth City had not been breached, and they had held out until the return of the Void King sorcerers.

“Ha ha ha, gentlemen, it’s our turn to slaughter these delirious members of the Alien Race now.”

“The time for revenge has come!”

After being oppressed for so long, the sorcerers had a bellyful of rage. Even close to exhaustion, they were unwilling to just watch the Alien Race flee and immediately, an arcane wizard called for a sortie.

His call gained much support.

At that moment, two Great Sages, Bataile and Joye, stepped forward and announced directly to the sorcerers.

“The two Void Kings have a message to relay. My fellow sorcerers, you’ve worked hard these past days. Rest for three days, and after that, we’ll pursue and kill the members of the Alien Race. Let us wash blood with blood, scaling the Wanren Heights, through the Ewa Flowing Lands, and into the Black Mirage Marsh. Until the blood of the Alien Race ceases to flow, we sorcerers will not sheath our blades, that is all.”

“With blood, we shall wash blood!”

“With blood, we shall wash blood!”

As their words fell, the voices around them boomed like thunder.

Just as the two Void Kings had said, only by chasing the Alien Race to the ends of their lands, laying waste to their nations, could the heinous sins they committed be cleansed.

As the sorcerers within Truth City urgently replenished their strength, Ivan and Galif were busy hunting down the Alien Ancient Kings.

Seeing the strength of the Void King Wizards, indisputably formidable, the Alien Race decisively chose to scatter and retreat, their army splitting into three, with the Alien Ancient Kings also dividing into three, attempting to save as many as possible.

The two Void King Wizards also separated; Galif went after the Lei tribe, which had been the cruelest to humans.

Ivan set his sights on the Black Scale tribe, pursuing the Ancient King of this group alone. Along the way, any Black Scale tribal leader who crossed his path got no mercy from him.

Having been on the receiving end of bullying several times, he finally got a taste of turning the tables.

“Sorcerer Marichadon, don’t push people too far.”

“Not running anymore? I understand, you must think there’s no need to flee because I’ve not been Level 5 for long, and since the King of the Long Sky is not here.”

Not far from Truth City, Ivan found himself surrounded by five Ancient Kings of the Black Scale tribe.

He had just relished the taste of overwhelming the few, and now the enemy turned it around with the many against him.

“Sorcerer, you underestimate us too much. We will show you that the Black Scale tribe is not to be trifled with,” said one of the Ancient Kings, unable to restrain his threats when he saw Ivan’s composed demeanor.

“I know you, Jeteri from the Black Fin department. I’ve got another score to settle with your tribe.”

“That’s me. I am not afraid of you.”

“When I was handling affairs at the Black Mirage Marsh, someone from your tribe named ‘Harrison’ destroyed one of my airships, and I still haven’t been compensated—-”

“Damn it, you dare to deceive people!”

Ivan remembered clearly that his Lanque had been destroyed by the Blackfin tribespeople, but the current Jeteri refused to acknowledge it, so Ivan could only count his own losses.

With Jeteri’s move, the battle began.

A spectacular scene unfolded in the sky, with five towering giants battling the Red Fire King Worm.

With a ripple through space, the King Worm vanished from the encirclement of the five, and upon a closer look, it had already appeared behind Jeteri, growing larger once again.

The next second, Jeteri personally experienced the terror of this newly advanced Void King, as the insect’s antennae quickly entangled him.

A great crisis suddenly loomed!

“Why is it always me?” Jeteri attempted to resist and evade but was unable to, murmuring resentfully.

“You talk the most, and you still owe me an airship.” After Ivan forcefully suppressed someone, he didn’t stay for a moment longer, swiftly taking his captive and fleeing.

These Black Scale tribespeople’s words made sense—he was not the King of the Long Sky after all, there was no need to take on five at once and confront these people head-on.

Better to break them one by one, defeat as many as possible, and as for the remaining Black Scale tribal Ancient Kings, wait for the King of Ten Thousand Woods and the others to return before dealing with them, since every tribe would come knocking sooner or later. Then it wouldn’t be too late to settle all debts together.

“Shameless!”

“Sorcerer, let Jeteri go.”

“Chase! Don’t let him get away.”

The other Ancient Kings didn’t expect this wizard to be so cunning and so fast, capturing one of them in an instant; they knew Jeteri hadn’t fully recovered from his injuries from the last time.

And the sorcerer had taken advantage of that moment.

The Black Scale Ancient Kings hastily pursued.

“Ha ha, if any of you can catch up with this sorcerer, I’ll give this guy back to you.” Ivan in the front didn’t feel at all like someone on the run, still having the leisure to taunt those behind him.

“Don’t fall for it; we absolutely can’t split up,” the learned Black Scale Ancient Kings dared not move forward separately, for fear of giving him an opportunity.

Seeing this, Ivan was helpless.

Some were not good at speed, with such a pursuit mode, naturally, they couldn’t do anything to him, and the distance between the two sides grew further and further apart, eventually the Black Scale Ancient Kings gave up on their own.

Subsequently, Ivan left his captive half-dead, much like before, suppressing him into the Xinhuo Bronze Furnace.

With the power of the Xinhuo Bronze Furnace, it was enough to slowly erode these difficult-to-kill Ancient Kings.

Before long, Ivan went back and caught up with the Black Scale Ancient Kings again, this time facing four instead of five. The remaining Ancient Kings had indeed learned their lesson, giving him no chance whatsoever.

The Black Scale Ancient Kings still had two precious treasures with them, especially the Nether Sea Life Tears, which hid a lake with notable power, strong and profound.

“Today I’ll spare you, go back and wait, we will pay a visit soon, and then we’ll settle our blood debts.”

After a series of entanglements, Ivan didn’t gain much advantage, so he had to give up.

“Phew! That troublesome fellow has finally left.”

“Don’t take it lightly; these wizards are very cunning, be careful of deceit.”

“That’s right, we can’t trust his words, who knows if he’ll turn back again.”

As they watched him leave, the four Black Scale Ancient Kings did not relax their vigilance, as the impact of the previous battle had been too profound; the wizard had managed to deceive their three tribes for so many years.

Little did they know, Ivan had traveled for several months, rushing all the way, with such a massive consumption of energy, it wasn’t something that could be recovered in a day—right now he was merely forcing himself to keep going.

Continuing the battle would likely result in his own loss.
