The Genius Mage

The enemy he was going to face was a complete five-person squad, but it seemed that they did not have much actual combat experience.

After all, they were all wearing costly and luxurious clothes. One look, and you could tell that they were from the five great clans.

“I don’t have any intention of fighting you. If you let me go now, I can guarantee that I won’t bring people to ambush you,” Morris suggested.

Morris was not a person who liked war, so he did not have many thoughts about the people in front of him.

However, Julius did not have the intention to believe him.

“Although I really want to believe what you said, you have to understand that since we are in the current environment, everyone we are facing is an enemy.”

Aluma also raised the weapon in her hand.

“I’m sorry.”

Morris smiled helplessly.

He really did not have any intention of fighting with these people.

Soon, the battle ended. Morris took the token from the hem of Julius’ clothes and waved it in his hand.

“Brother, you should know that I did not intend to fight with you at the beginning, but since you all came to us, I am not the kind of person who is not interested in the prey that comes to us.” Morris smiled. His expression was filled with malice, “So you should know what I mean.”

The side of Julius’ face was obviously red and swollen. He gritted his teeth. “If you want to bet, you must admit defeat! Since we lost, you can take that thing away. Take it as if we were blind and didn’t see the person clearly!”

Morris smiled and withdrew his foot that stepped on him.

“Thank you, then. I hope we can meet again.”

After Morris’ figure disappeared from his sight, Julius struggled to stand up.

“My god, who is he? The five of us attacked him together, but we could not even fight back.” The girl with the braids leaned against a tree and panted.

Julius shook his head. “I’m not sure.”

Aluma looked at his back. “No matter what, our tokens can’t be taken away by him for nothing. I’ve already left a tracking mark on him. When we’re done, we’ll chase after him. I don’t believe that we can’t defeat them!”

At this moment, Morris, who had already walked far away, stopped and looked at his arm.

There was an extremely inconspicuous mark on his sleeve, which was faintly flashing.

He sneered and raised his hand to tear off half of his sleeve. Then, he casually hung the tracking mark on the tree.

“Really? Can the mark not be on the clothes next time? It wasn’t easy to get a new piece of clothing, and now it’s torn like this. This is too ugly.”

Morris grumbled in a low voice.

When they returned to the Demon Beast cave, Audrey was still sitting in her original position. She was still in the same position as when he left. She was as quiet as an exquisite doll.

“Audrey, I’m back. Look what I brought for you!” Morris handed over the token in his hand as though he was taking credit for it.

Audrey was extremely surprised. “How did you get this token in such a short period of time?”

One had to know that she had only sat here for about an hour after Morris had left. Why did she suddenly return with such an important item.

Morris smiled casually. “You don’t have to worry about how I obtained it. Anyway, all you need to know is that I obtained it through a straightforward battle.”

Audrey nodded in agreement and kept the token in her pocket.

Morris told her the news he had heard when he had just gone there. Audrey’s expression darkened a little. It was obvious that she had not expected this trial to develop into such a situation.

The night passed just like that.

When they woke up the next day, Audrey told everyone about the situation they were in. As expected, everyone’s faces were filled with shock.

“Oh my god, such a thing can happen.” Alice covered her mouth in disbelief. “I’ve heard of that so-called giant beast that has slept for a thousand years. However, it was sealed by a powerful barrier. If you want to break that barrier, you can’t underestimate its strength.”

Audrey looked at her. “Then, do you know the details, such as the species of the giant beast or its strength?”

Alice hesitated for a moment before lowering her eyes in thought.

She recalled her father’s instructions before she came here to participate in the trial.

“Alice, you must remember that no matter what, don’t step into the eastern domain. It’s extremely dangerous there. Even if you accidentally enter, you must think of a way to escape quickly. Otherwise, you won’t be able to save your life!”

At that time, Alice did not understand the meaning of this sentence. She asked naively, “Then, father, what should I do if I am accidentally teleported to the east?”

Alice still remembered her father’s gloomy expression and the three emotionless words.

“Run straight away!”

After telling everyone everything, everyone’s expression became very grave.

After a night of rest, Jill had clearly recovered. The bottle of medicine she drank last night was very effective, and today’s wound showed signs of slowly healing.

“According to Morris, the giant beast from the east is heading towards us,” Jill said hesitantly, “does that mean that the place we’re in will one day become unsafe?”
