Chapter 248: Chapter 198 Highmore Mage_2

[Students who studied in the most ancient classroom—Kalerros Classroom, having achieved accomplishments, were allowed to wear the luminous stone mask]

[They regard the Mage Yazler as fundamental and explore comet-like magic]

[Due to their self-seclusion, they lost their humanity over time and completely turned into beasts, but the shadow etched deep in their minds still causes them to fear individuals with certain traits]

"Indeed, they are enemies." Gapar was about to close the manual when he suddenly had the urge to see if there was an introduction to the Tutor Hat.

And there really was one!

[Hunting Manual·Item Category]

[Tutor Hat]

[In the golden age of magic, magic seekers from different epochs and regions gathered at Reyalucaria, Magic Academy, where the number of classrooms peaked. To distribute students more efficiently, the Tutor Hat was created. They would find the most suitable mentor for the students based on their aptitude.]

[In the era of the magicians’ seclusion, with no new students, the Tutor Hat lost its purpose, leaving only this one still with a chaotic mind.]

[Living in the past, it refuses to acknowledge the era of seclusion and the decline of the academy; it treats all strangers as students and offers help, and if its illusions aren’t shattered, its guidance can continue.]

After reading, Gapar fell silent.

When he first arrived here, he actually hoped to see a harmonious scene of magicians studying together. It turned out to be another "declined" scene.

Sain Dungeon always pulls off such stunts, forever only revealing sights from the era after the glory days had ended.

Although this sense of sadness is quite attractive, somehow...

Gapar clenched his teeth with a troubled expression, really wanting to see the magical heyday described in the introduction where thousands of magicians gathered!

Hold on.

He suddenly realized a blind spot.

Since the introduction of the Tutor Hat lives in the past and does not acknowledge the present, doesn’t that mean the mentor assigned to him might no longer exist!

Who knows if those mentors might have also turned into Animated Corpses devoid of humanity.

Gapar’s heart was suddenly filled with uncertainty. After several hesitations, he finally chose to keep looking for the Communication Center.

If he does not shatter the illusion of the Tutor Hat, he can continue receiving its guidance, so he might as well act according to its wishes for now.

The corridor wasn’t long but connected to several halls and occasionally opened classrooms that could be explored, even containing elements for decryption. He picked up a green flower key which could open the doors carved with green flowers that were tightly shut.

There were also red hearts and Spade Doors, likely needing the corresponding keys to decrypt.

But Gapar wasn’t in the mood to search carefully now; when encountering a door that could be opened, he would just quickly glance inside from the outside, confirm if there was no Communication Center inside, and then leave.

The enemies he encountered along the way were mostly Magicians and Warrior Pots, and he noticed that the magicians wearing different masks could use different types of magic.

Checking the Hunting Manual, sure enough, their names were followed by their respective classrooms.

Whether it was the corridor or the hall, both were richly decorated, filled with a sense of fantasy, and there were powerful elite guards in the hall.

When Gapar reached the second hall, he saw a peculiar pillar.

It was like a Magic Statue machine, emitting a faint glow, except the glow flickered as if malfunctioning.

And in the center of the pillar, a crystal identical to the Philosopher’s Stone he held was embedded there.

"Finally found it."

Gapar breathed a sigh of relief.

No doubt, there were elite enemies next to the Communication Center, which was a Magician with a sharp, ah no, a pointed hat.

This guy was different from the magicians he had encountered before, not only tall but also holding a stout club, looking very strong.

If it weren’t for his other hand really holding a Magic Wand, no one would believe this thing was actually a magician.

[Highmore Mage] that was his name.

Just then, the Highmore Mage noticed Gapar, who immediately raised his Magic Wand, a deep blue Magic Power light gathering.

Judging by his actions, it seemed like he was about to launch something heavy, totally different from a light magical battle.

Gapar charged forward, and halfway through his run, his opponent completed the charging.

A huge orb containing furious Magic Power was hurled at Gapar!

This was [Highmore Bomb]!

Gapar dodged to the side, but he underestimated the power of the Highmore Bomb. When it smashed on the ground, the massive explosion still affected him.

His arms were scorched by Magic Power, the damage was minimal, but it was enough to prove the bomb’s power!

Such a simplistic application of magic, he thought to himself: but its power was truly horrifying.

As he flashed to the side of the Highmore Mage, the opponent’s strong and forceful arm swung the club smashing towards him!

"Bang!"

The pristine floor was smashed into large cracks, his strength had far surpassed his peers.

Gapar swore this was the first time he saw a mage with such reckless strength.

This guy must have switched from being a Martial Artist to a Mage midway!

Holding the idea of testing him, he moved around the Highmore Mage’s side, occasionally jumping back to prompt him to use magic, wanting to see what set this guy apart from other mages.

The Highmore Mage was completely played, looking rushed and flustered.

"It looks like there are no other moves."

Gapar was completely familiar with his patterns, swung his sword to deflect the attacking club, planning to end it with one strike.

It was then, the Highmore Mage’s Magic Wand once again gathered Magic Power.

Using Highmore Bomb at such close range? Isn’t he afraid it might affect himself?

Gapar wasn’t afraid at all; the magic’s release was slow, he could before the mage deployed it—

A huge hammer formed by Magic Power smashed down on his head!

"Boom—"

The surging Magic Power exploded in the hall, winds howling!

[Highmore Hammer]! A move that turns Magic Power into a giant hammer to crush the enemy into a meat pie!

However, this powerful strike didn’t injure him because the moment he perceived the threat, his body automatically released Body Protective Fighting Qi.

Even so, the Fighting Qi was somewhat scattered, enough to see its power; it was probably even more powerful than High-Tier Attack Magic!

Such a powerful destruction magic, any mage seeing it would covet it, but—

"Magic Hammer?"

This piece of work following the Calia Greatsword left Gapar at a loss for words.

Do all the mages here like close combat? I wouldn’t want this magic even if it was given to me for free!

One hit, two hits...

The Highmore Mage released a Chase, Gapar didn’t plan to resist head-on.

He flipped and jumped onto the tall mage, executing a stealth kill like Sekiro.

"Bang—"

The body of the Highmore Mage crashed heavily onto the ground, along with his equipment gradually turning into ash and disappearing completely.

The monster mechanism in Sain Dungeon is puzzling, some monsters leave corpses upon death, others turn to ash, baffling people.

Gapar turned to replace the Philosopher’s Stone in the Communication Center, and in the moment he switched to a new energy source, the column burst out with light.

"That should be fine now." He dusted his hands and was about to go back to find the Tutor Hat, but suddenly saw a light point on the ground, left behind by the Highmore Mage.

"Sss..."

He suddenly inhaled sharply, a bad premonition rising in his heart, completely unexcited.

He picked up the light point, and it quickly transformed into a Magic Book Page and fused into Gapar’s body.

In that instant, he learned a new magic—[Highmore Hammer].

[Can form a Magic Power hammer and perform striking Huishi Magic]

[The magic taught in the Highmore Classroom, which acts as the Judge of Good and Evil equivalent to the academy, existing to settle disputes]

You create this thing to settle disputes?

"I really can’t get along with close-combat magic, can I!"
