68 I Am Going Offline to Ea (1/2)
A four-story tower stood in the middle of a circular cave.
The tunnel that connected the cave with the outside world was sealed by Mana. The only way in and out was a Teleport Portal at the top of the tower.
At the top of the tower, a student Lich wearing the Specter College uniform opened his hands while he used Mana to vibrate his cloak. A black magical aura engulfed his body.
”Puny mortals, you can't stop us! The world belongs to the Void Legion!”
The vibrating cloak had a small disc with the number 98562 on it.
After he finished the sentence, the magical aura disappeared. He took out a piece of paper from his cloak and scratched his skull as he said, ”I left out a word, 'You can't stop us! The world will belong to the Void Legion!' Who is Void legion…”
As he was uttering the dialogue, the Teleport Portal behind him rippled, and a Lich with the number 78566 walked out.
The two Liches looked stunned at each other.
”Senior? You haven't graduated?”
”Nope, I've waited for nine years. My instructor said I had to wait three years, then three years, and then another three years. How many three years do I have to wait?”
The Lich that just walked out said loudly, ”I spent 1000 Magic Stones to bribe the instructor, and I became the first one to take the exam.”
”Wha.. What? 1000 Magic Stones? Why did I pay 3000 Magic Stones?” the other Lich asked in agitation.
”Because this is the first year you are taking the examination, silly!”
As they were chatting, the voice of Brainiac came from the high tower. ”No. 98562 and 78566, stop chatting and start preparing. Summon your Specter Warriors. The examination is starting.”
They activated their Mana and controlled their Specter Warriors. Each had ten warriors. Nine were ordinary Specter Warriors, while the last one was an elite Specter Warrior. The twenty Specter Warriors occupied the high tower.
These Specter Warriors were arranged to come in by specialized personnel before the Liches arrived.
The two Liches deployed their Specter Warriors and waited obediently on the fourth-floor rooftop. They knew that there were many Professors observing them. They had to control their Specter Warriors to fight with the five combatants.
They would be graded on how they controlled the Specter Warriors in combat, their familiarity in control, and the performance of the Specter Warriors. Liches who passed would be able to graduate.
Before the combat exam, there were other subjects. They had to pass them to qualify for the combat examination.
The two Liches waited for 10, 15, 20 minutes, but nobody entered the Training Ground.
”Er, where are the combatants?” 98562 gazed at the empty space below the tower and asked in bewilderment.
…
”Is that a thief? Or robber?” Brainiac was furious as he pointed at the images in the crystal ball.
In the crystal ball, there were more than five Goblins, twenty to be exact. They were smashing the containers and wooden boxes in a frenzy.
