The Bizarre Wizarding World
Chapter 429 - 305 Peril_2

Yasi's purpose needed no further elaboration—he naturally wanted to coerce Atbolde into taking action.

Indeed, the mentor seemed to have actually made a move.

However, the final outcome was obviously not satisfactory, by the time Marjorie joined in, only Atbolde and Lillian remained.

Marjorie also mentioned something—

Originally, Mentor Atbolde didn't have a rule about not being seen after noon, but after that incident, such a rule came into existence... Perhaps the old ailments he suffered were also left from that time.

Colin shook his head, his thoughts straying somewhat.

But regardless, if the Hidosh family already had no support for Yasi Hidosh to deal with the mentor, then couldn't his lack of available subordinates also be explained?

Colin still harbored some doubts in his heart, and he turned to observe the two apprentices in front of him, pondering how to deal with them.

Tap, tap, tap—

Just at that moment, a series of light footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the staircase.

Someone was coming upstairs.

Colin's heart tightened, and he turned around.

However, in the next moment, a somewhat hesitant familiar voice came through:

"Colin Junior, is it you?"

"Marjorie Senior?" Colin raised an eyebrow, exclaiming with surprise.

Marjorie looked pale, with a weary expression. He barely managed a smile before continuing:

"Actually, I've been around, saw you going in earlier and thought I was seeing things, didn't expect it to really... Watch out!"

Before he could finish, Marjorie's expression suddenly turned to one of shock and horror.

Colin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned his head following Marjorie's gaze.

The two apprentices suddenly fell into some kind of bizarre state.

Their expressions were ferocious, their mouths open wide as they howled as if in extreme pain.

But no matter how hard they tried, no sound came out.

Clouds of pale black mist quickly spread from the Hidosh family crest on their wizard robes, pouring ceaselessly into their gaping mouths and nostrils!

In an instant, while cutting off any sound, the mist transformed the two apprentices into pitch-black monsters!

Swish!

Once the black mist had completely covered their bodies, the two monsters turned into merciless, cold killing machines, swiftly and silently lunging at Colin.

Just by their strength and speed, they had nearly surpassed the usual scope of an apprentice!

Marjorie, on the side, widened his eyes, nervously watching all of this unfold.

In his mind, Junior Colin had only just advanced to first-rank wizard and probably had hardly had the chance to learn a few spells.

By comparison, the two monsters in front of him, though not quite reaching first-rank level, evidently specialized in close combat.

And at this very moment, the distance between Junior Colin and them was so close, the contrast put Colin at a distinct disadvantage!

"No, this won't do!"

Driven by inner urgency, Marjorie didn't hesitate to step forward, ready to lend a hand.

However, in the next moment, before he could even take a step, a shocking scene suddenly unfolded.

Colin made no discernible move.

Yet the two dark, terrifying monsters that rushed towards him, as if struck by lightning, ceased their charge and stood frozen in their tracks.

If one observed carefully, one could see their bodies, shrouded in black mist, trembling uncontrollably.

"Colin... Junior..." Marjorie muttered in shock, taking a few slow steps forward.

"This is a first-rank control witchcraft I've recently learned," Colin explained, his expression unchanged.

'First-rank witchcraft... and it seems to be instantaneous casting.' Marjorie's expression was still filled with surprise.

He felt some admiration and sincerely said, "To ensure you learn witchcraft at such a fast advancement pace... Junior Colin, you are truly a genius."

"The school awarding you the Silver Feather Token is well-deserved."

Colin smiled but did not respond.

In fact, according to his current advancement speed, if he were to register at Black Castle, he would likely be eligible for a Golden Feather Token.

But in the end, honors bestowed by others are illusory—so long as one's own essence is solid, recognition will naturally follow.

No need to be overly concerned.

He turned his gaze back to the two wizards who had transformed into monsters.

At this moment, he had already maximized the intensity of the Knight Aura.

The result was that the two pitch-black creatures, caught between the Apprentice Rank and the First Rank, were firmly rooted to the spot, unable to move, and at his mercy to slaughter.

Using the Knight Aura to its limit was largely it.

Simply relying on the Knight Aura to cause the pitch-black creatures to die in terror like the previous knights was still beyond his power.

However, the true purpose of the Knight Aura was to assist.

These two creatures, surpassing the Apprentice Rank, were utterly immobilized under the Knight Aura, like fish on a chopping board.

Thus, stronger entities such as First Rank Wizards or even Second Rank Wizards, even if not completely immobilized when faced with the Knight Aura, would still be somewhat affected.

This was akin to applying a persistent negative status to the enemy, and it hardly drained his own energy at all!

The pitch-black creatures continued trembling.

"They're probably already dead," suddenly said Marjorie from the side.

Colin nodded.

It was obvious that the 'they' Marjorie referred to were the two apprentices from earlier.

The two Hidosh Family badges clearly contained extremely evil witchcraft, instantly taking the lives of the two apprentices and transforming them into two terrible monsters.

He could feel the declining souls within the pitch-black creatures that had been corrupted.

How should he deal with these two monsters?

'Should I turn them over to the Law Enforcement Team?' he hesitated inwardly.

At that moment, Marjorie, finally coming back to her senses from the sudden event, remembered why she had taken the risk to return here.

His complexion became somewhat panicked and agitated, and he quickly turned his head and said solemnly to Colin,

"Colin, Mentor Atbolde could be in danger right now!"

Colin had no time to consider the two monsters and looked at him, puzzled.

Marjorie continued to explain:

"You have been away from Neustadt City for some time and might not be aware, but after the day you came to see me, I have been trying to visit Mentor Atbolde at the School every morning.

However, Nado always blocked me, not allowing me to enter. I guess it might be because the mentor didn't want to get me involved anymore."

As he spoke, Marjorie's voice became somewhat low, and his eyes were slightly red. He took a breath and continued,

"But this morning, Nado, contrary to usual, did not stop me. At first, I was happy, thinking the mentor had changed his mind, and I nearly exposed my whereabouts."

Marjorie paused, then suddenly took out a very familiar necklace—the Ancient Tree Spring—and passed it to him, continuing somewhat despondently,

"But I couldn't make it into the study. The mentor handed me this necklace through the door.

He ordered me to change Schools and return the necklace to you if there was a chance in the future, and then he drove me out of the manor again."

Taking the Ancient Tree Spring and caressing the necklace that seemed both golden and wooden, Colin's heart slowly sank.

Marjorie's words still continued.

"I couldn't enter the mentor's courtyard again, but I know where Yasi Hidosh lives."

"I sensed that something might happen, so I waited outside Yasi's villa."

Marjorie paused and lowered his head, the voice of this nearly two-meter-tall strong man sounding somewhat choked up:

"Not long ago, I saw Yasi's carriage leaving, and I followed it all the way to find that his destination was the Tin Saint School!"

"Moreover, at the same time, the area where the mentor's courtyard is located was temporarily sealed off by the School's steward Field under the pretext of changing the Witch Array restrictions."

Although Marjorie didn't spell it out, everything seemed imminent.

Colin spoke in a grave voice, "Are you suggesting that Yasi is preparing to deal with the mentor personally?"

"Yes," Marjorie paused before answering.

He gazed at Colin, his lips trembling.

He wanted to urge Colin to go and rescue Mentor Atbolde, but how could that be possible?

After all, Colin was but a First Rank Wizard. Reason told him he should preserve his life and plan for the long term...

Despair was written all over Marjorie's face.

However, in the next moment, the despair on his face turned to bewilderment.

Crack.

Colin calmly took a step forward, extending his arm and effortlessly snapping the necks of the two pitch-black creatures as if they were rotten wood.

He then turned back to him without hesitation and said,

"Let's go, the mentor needs us."
