Roxanne’s expression changed drastically. She did not hesitate at all.
Boom! She immediately turned into a ball of mist and fled.
However, in the face of the absolute difference in strength, what was the point of her fleeing?
Seeing that she was about to flee, Heath was not in a hurry to chase after her. He only lightly raised his right hand and clenched it.
This simple action instantly set off a substantial ripple in the air. With the fog as the center, an extremely strong pressure swept over from all directions and contracted.
Under the effect of this strong pressure, the fog squeezed, deformed, and finally turned back into the Witch Roxanne who had just disappeared.
Puff!
She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, she fell heavily to the ground from the air. Before she could say a word, she fainted.
Heath took out a space bottle from his pocket and walked forward.
When he came in front of the fallen Roxanne, he did not say anything. He casually grabbed upwards and a ball of flame was caught in his hand. Then, he threw it at Roxanne who was on the ground, and the flame pounced on Roxanne’s body.
For a moment, one could only hear a ‘puchi puchi’ sound.
The flame licked Roxanne who was on the ground like a tongue and very quickly burned her entire body. In an instant, this body was reduced to ashes.
At the same time, he raised the glass bottle in his hand and chanted a short incantation towards Roxanne who was on the ground.
Roxanne’s corpse on the ground suddenly surged out balls of blue energy and poured into the glass bottle in Heath’s hand. They formed a transparent little person in the bottle. It was Roxanne.
Jessica and the others felt their scalps go numb when they saw this scene.
A peak-level high-level Apprentice was actually killed and her soul was extracted in an instant. She didn’t even have the chance to escape. This kind of strength was truly terrifying…
“Done!”
After corking the bottle, Heath kept the spatial bottle and then took out Roxanne’s spatial pocket from the pile of charred bodies.
Then, he turned around.
It was just a simple action, but it made the Apprentices behind him tremble. Their defensive spells were activated almost instantly.
Heath was speechless.
He laughed and said, “Is this how you welcome your old friend?”
They were all stunned.
Jenny said, “Sir, what do you mean?”
It was not their fault that they did not realize it. After all, they had not seen each other for ten years. During this time, Heath had advanced to a Wizard, and his temperament had changed drastically. It was only natural that they could not recognize him.
However, after using [Traceless Time], Heath’s appearance did not change much. Soon, someone recognized his handsome face.
“H-Heath?”
Jessica asked with uncertainty, “Are you… Heath?”
As though a stone had been thrown into a calm lake, Jessica’s words caused an uproar.
“Heath? It’s Heath?”
“That’s impossible, right? How is that possible? He was only an intermediate-level Apprentice when he left the Tower…”
“But it really seems like…”
With Jessica’s reminder, the rest of the people recognized the familiar face in their memories. However, they found it hard to believe this shocking guess.
After all, 10 years ago, Heath was only an Apprentice.
And…
He was an Apprentice who entered the Tower at the same time as them!
Seeing how everyone wanted to recognize him but didn’t dare to, Heath felt a little funny.
He said generously, “No need to doubt, it’s me.”
After a pause, he said in a friendly tone, “Jessica, Jenny, Andrew, Ike, long time no see.”
Hearing Heath say their names one by one, it instantly crushed their guesses.
Everyone’s jaws dropped and their eyeballs almost fell out.
“Heath!”
“Heath!”
“Oh my god, it’s really you!”
…
Later, Heath learned that Jessica and the others had appeared here because they had been ordered to buy some daily necessities and various low-level resources needed for daily use in the Tower.
After the accident ten years ago, these things had to be taken care of by the Apprentices themselves. Therefore, Shadow Tower could only send Apprentices to buy or get them, and this time, they were chosen.
However, who would have thought that in the wood, one of them would be killed for no reason after they came to the city? They followed the clues to find the murderer all the way to the forest, and then the scene just now happened.
Jessica said with some lingering fear, “We thought that it was just an ordinary Apprentice, but we never thought that the other party would be a Dark Wizard, and an advanced Apprentice at that.”
“If we didn’t meet you this time, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to go back…”
Everyone felt a lingering fear.
Then, Jessica smiled and asked, “Let’s talk about you. Why are you here?”
At this point, she looked up and down at Heath in surprise. “And… you really have advanced to a Wizard?”
Heath said casually, “I just broke through not long ago.”
Although they already knew Heath’s strength, they still couldn’t help but exclaim when they heard him admit it himself.
“Holy sh*t… You’re too fierce…”
“Wizard… Oh my god!”
“We… We clearly started together, right? We started learning magic together…”
Everyone had mixed feelings.
They had all entered Shadow Tower at the same time and embarked on the path of a Wizard at the same time. However, after more than ten years, they were only intermediate and advanced Apprentices, while Heath had already become a Wizard.
One had to know.
In the minds of most of the Apprentices here, a Wizard was their biggest goal in their lives!
Jessica said with a bitter smile, “Not long ago, I was happy to be promoted to an advanced Apprentice… but compared to you, I realized how childish and ridiculous I am…”
Heath shrugged, “The sooner or later, you will definitely achieve it in the future.”
Jessica sighed. “I hope so.”
The more she walked down the path of a Wizard, the more difficult it was.
Then, she gathered the negative emotions in her body. It was rare to see an old friend, so she couldn’t spread these negative emotions.
She smiled and said, “Although it shocked us, it’s not surprising. We said a long time ago that if one of us really advanced to a Wizard, we have no doubt that it would be you.”
“Now, you really did it!”
She exclaimed, “The Black-Haired Genius of Shadow Tower!”
“Genius!”
“The Magic Genius of Shadow Tower!”
