Chapter 404: Chase

The second-level black magician glanced at the giant ship below, which brought great psychological pressure to everyone on the ship. He sneered and planned to continue chasing Thain.

But before Van Basten could fly out of the sky, a tiny beam of energy shot out from the deck below and hit his body directly.

In the sky, Van Basten's body shook a little, but he did not suffer any substantial damage.

Looking down, it turned out that at the angle of the cargo carried by the giant ship, in front of a red-haired intermediate magic apprentice, he was holding a magic cannon that was smoking.

This Culiman Chamber of Commerce's alchemy-powered ship had two main magic cannons that were destroyed by the second-level black magician at the very beginning.

The magic cannon used by the intermediate apprentice in front of me is a relatively low-power secondary cannon on this alchemy-powered ship.

The behavior of the intermediate magic apprentice undoubtedly angered the black magician.

But then, he actually let out a strange laugh.

"Hey, hey, hey, you are so brave!"

"I appreciate you as a little guy. I'll spare your life for now."

"If you can pass the trial of despair in the underground corpse cave of the Black Domain in the future, I will give you a chance." The energy beam in front of the black magician's magic wand gradually disappeared and he said with a sneer.

Regardless of the other pale people on the alchemy power ship, the black magician immediately turned into a black shadow and chased in the direction of Thain's escape.

It wasn't until the black magician disappeared at the end of the sky that everyone on the giant wheel heaved a deep sigh of relief.

Among them, the one who had the biggest reaction was the red-haired apprentice who had just bombarded the second-level black magician with a magic cannon.

His whole body was soaked with sweat, and his hands, which were holding the barrel of the magic cannon, were trembling.

As an apprentice, facing the majesty brought by a second-level black magician, no one knew what kind of fear he had just experienced.

"Eric, are you okay?" After the black magician disappeared at the end of the sky, the few other magic apprentices left on the deck immediately came over and asked the red-haired apprentice.

This red-haired apprentice obviously has considerable prestige and popularity among the surrounding apprentice circles.

Especially when he dared to attack an extremely powerful black magician who easily killed the first-level magician Sachi and two other first-level knights, he became the backbone of the group of apprentices around him. The apprentice named Eric finally came to his senses in the face of the concerns and inquiries from other apprentices around him.

This is a self-reliant and thoughtful magic apprentice. If he had chosen to give up easily, he would not have risked his life just now to bombard the second-level black magician Van Basten in the sky with a magic cannon.

Although he didn't know what the "Underground Corpse Cave" and "Trial of Despair" the black magician was referring to were, Eric instinctively felt that it was definitely not a good place.

"What should we do next? Even Master Sachi has fallen, we won't die here too..." Among the several magic apprentices, the only female magic apprentice said in a low voice, and there was obviously a trace of it in her words. Crying tone.

Among magic apprentices below the first level, the differences in personality and behavior brought about by the gender differences between male and female apprentices are still very significant.

There were relatively few female apprentices at the Black Magic Academy where Thane was at.

Now facing the crisis of extinction brought by the black magician, it was also this female apprentice who was the first to collapse.

The crying of the female apprentice also made the remaining magic apprentices on the deck look heavy and depressed.

At this time, they were the only ones with extraordinary power on the deck. As for the knights and attendants who originally outnumbered the magic apprentices, they were wiped out by the black magician with black crows at the first opportunity.

The bloody spirit of those knights did not save them their lives.

Although the current conditions are so bad, the magic apprentice named Eric has not given up.

Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Notify the sailors that we will continue to set sail and head north!"

"As long as we reach the shore, we have a chance of survival." Eric said.

The few magic apprentices in front of them looked at each other, and one of them said: "The humpback whales and sea people who pulled the giant wheel are dead, and the magician Sachi is no longer here. It is difficult for us to fully activate the power device of the giant wheel itself."

"Can you really escape from here? Maybe the black magician will come back soon..."

"No matter how small the chance is, we have to give it a try!" Eric interrupted the apprentice's frustrated words.

I saw him continue to say: "Sass, aren't you involved in the field of alchemy? Go and take a look at the power room at the bottom of the cabin. We must re-energize this giant ship!"

Eric's words rekindled a little confidence in the surrounding apprentices.

Mainly, the instinct of survival spurred them. The strong smell of blood in the surrounding seawater stimulated their taste buds and spirits all the time.

The second-level black magician Van Basten is quite accurate in judging people, and this intermediate apprentice named Eric is indeed good.

Regardless of how many achievements he has made in the fields of magic and truth exploration, at least his character and will are far beyond those of ordinary magic apprentices.

And this is also the most rare.

…

The second-level black magician Van Basten flies very fast.

Being able to catch up with Thaci and kill him in a very short time is enough to prove that he has the ability to crush Thain, who has just been promoted to the first level.

While chasing Thain, Van Basten also saw what Thain was thinking, at least on the surface.

"Do you want to use the endless tornado storm in the South China Sea to contain me, or do you want to make a last ditch effort?"

"You are indeed a first-level magician with ideas. I am more interested in you, Jie Jie Jie." In the sky, looking at the dark and oppressive clouds in the distance and the raging storm below, the second-level black magician couldn't help but sneered. .

Two gray-white golems that suddenly emerged from under the sea level did not cause any harm to him.

After penetrating the chests of the two constructed golems with magic beams again, the second-level black magician raised his hand and put away the two broken golems that were smoking and falling downwards.

"Hmm... It's a bit like something made by the mechanics in the City of Steel, but there are no traces of alchemy from the wizarding world. It should be a product of another world."

"Is this another technological world that has been conquered by wizard civilization?" Second-level black magician Fan Basten looked at the broken golem in front of him with eyes like dead fish eyes and commented.

Although the distance is far, the constructor Yuli can still control the two golems.

One of them has been completely destroyed and has lost its basic fighting ability.

The shoulder cannon on the other shoulder emitted white light again, but before it could be launched, the black magician used the elemental hand to directly annihilate the metal shoulder of the demon doll, just like extinguishing a flame. The cannons are all bent out of shape.

Throwing the remains of the two constructed golems into his space equipment, the second-level black magician Van Basten sneered twice and continued to chase towards the place where Thain was hiding where the storm gathered.
