Chapter 206: Hero

The use of undead creatures at the forefront of the battle was a tactic Sein had observed before in the Divine Tower of Shadow’s territory.

However, during those encounters, he had seen only a few hundred initiates from the Divine Tower of Shadow attacking resource points at most.

The scale of the current confrontation, with thousands of initiates amassed, was reminiscent of the battle he had witnessed between the Divine Tower of Land Academy and Divine Tower of Radiant Thunder in the eastern hills.

Although the current number at Windhowl Cliff was about half that of the tens of thousands at the eastern hills, the initiates from the Divine Tower of Shadow summoned thousands of ghastly undead and dark creatures.

Many initiates from the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring, unaccustomed to such warfare, found the atmosphere daunting.

Sein, however, seasoned and hardened by his experiences, was unfazed by the forces from the Divine Tower of Shadow that had surrounded the Windhowl Cliff.

He was already identifying weak zones in the enemy’s formation, eyeing an opportunity to amass points.

Daniel seemed less composed outwardly compared to Sein, but he was not overly fearful. Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

He trailed behind Sein silently, observing his every move intently.

Daniel was keen on understanding Sein’s next move and particularly curious about how Sein had amassed such a high score in such a short time.

Sein remained indifferent to Daniel’s silent observations. After surveying the fierce battle outside Windhowl Cliff for a little while, he maneuvered his metal disk toward the battlefield’s rear flank.

At this moment near Windhowl Cliff, the initiates from the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring were engaged in a fierce battle with thousands of undead and dark summons.

Those creatures were resilient and quite formidable, but most importantly, they offered no points upon defeat. Engaging them would be a foolish risk.

Sein's objective was clear as he navigated toward the battlefield’s flank, situated between the Divine Tower of Shadow’s forces and their summons.

His trajectory, angled toward the diagonal rear, indicated his targets were the initiates at the back of the formation, chanting in groups and casting spells.

This maneuver almost caused Daniel, the Quasi Mage accompanying Sein, to lose his balance in mid-air.

His bold charge could inspire immense confidence among his fellow initiates.

Despite the clear disparity in strength, the resolve of an unwavering leader can overshadow doubts amid the chaos and fervor of battle.

It became a matter of rallying to the charge.

In the midst of such a heated conflict, no one would prefer to remain passive, except perhaps for those with masochistic tendencies.

The initiates from the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring had been oppressed for too long. They yearned for a hero to lead them to victory.

Sein’s silent but decisive strike, accompanied by the golden pillar of light, evoked different psychological impacts on the two opposing sides.

In fact, many initiates from the Divine Tower of Shadow were already familiar with Sein, who stood out amidst the golden light.

Nearly a year had elapsed since the start of the regional academy war, and Sein had already made a significant impact in the Divine Tower of Shadow, leaving behind various legends among its initiates.

Klump the “Necromancer” and Wallace the “Shadow Star”, both long-standing top initiates from the Divine Tower of Shadow, were reputed to be at least on par with Daniel from the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring, if not stronger.

Yet, both of them had fallen to Sein, rumored to have been defeated in a single strike.

Informed initiates from the Divine Tower of Shadow had also heard about Sein’s disruptions in the Divine Tower of Radiant Thunder and Land Academy areas.

Descriptions of Sein’s appearance and a summary of his capabilities began to circulate among them.

Several Quasi Mages from the Divine Tower of Shadow had put out an exorbitant bounty on Sein, aiming to eliminate him once and for all.

However, this bounty had only served to enhance Sein’s notoriety without posing any real threat to him so far.

Intermediate and junior initiates, tempted by the reward and Sein’s score, were hardly a match for him.

As for the senior initiates and Quasi Mages... their awareness of Sein’s formidable strength deterred them from pursuing actions likely to end in their demise.
