Chapter 217: Enemy’s Trap

The initiates from the Divine Tower of Land Academy continued their assault on the Blackgrave Forest Resource Point for an additional two days.

Upon realizing the presence of a large number of elite initiates at the Blackgrave Forest Resource Point and recognizing the low likelihood of achieving a swift victory, Gade made a decisive call. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

He instructed the initiates to move westward, advancing further into the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring’s territory.

After all, the primary objective in this divine tower academy war was not to “kill”.

Securing resource points and accumulating points were the main goals set by the divine towers to train their initiates.

Gade was naturally well aware of this. Pointless sacrifices from either side would not positively impact the evaluations provided by the academy instructors.

With Gade and his group now moving westward, they encountered significantly less resistance than before.

In the northeastern part of the Divine Tower of Shadow’s territory lay a vast expanse of swampy terrain, a region Sein had not previously ventured into.

He was drawn to this area by his crystal ball, which indicated a high concentration of initiates from the Divine Tower of Shadow nearby.

With persistent forces hot on his heels, Sein sought refuge among these initiates, hoping to use their presence to his advantage in the ensuing chaos.

Despite being pursued, Sein did not halt his own quest for points.

Direct confrontations were challenging—the initiates from the Divine Tower of Land Academy trailing him were formidable and rarely isolated.

Upon reaching the Divine Tower of Shadow’s territory, Sein found himself disheartened by the sparse activity.

Aside from effortlessly dispatching a few minor opponents, he did not come across any significantly powerful initiates from the Divine Tower of Shadow.

Deep within the swamp, a haunting expanse of demonic, ghostly white flowers spread out.

This was the Bone Flower Camp, a large resource point in the Divine Tower of Shadow’s territory.

As Sein drew nearer to the camp, situated less than two kilometers away, he looked down from the sky with dismay at the bustling activity in it.

There were roughly three thousand initiates from the Divine Tower of Shadow gathered in the camp.

He veered southwest, anticipating the imminent arrival of the initiates from the Divine Tower of Land Academy in that area.

Within the trial space, initiates from the same academy could trust and fight alongside each other.

However, encounters between initiates from different academies invariably led to conflict.

The Divine Tower of Shadow and Divine Tower of Land Academy were long-standing rival forces, particularly after the latter’s invasion of the former’s territory.

When initiates from these divine two towers met, the idea of joining forces to take Sein down was definitely the last thing on their minds.

In the Divine Tower of Shadow’s swampy region, the convergence of forces from both sides ignited a massive conflict, churning up towering waves of mud and filth.

Sein found himself feared and targeted simultaneously by both forces.

Nevertheless, the ability to act alone and swiftly allowed him to seize the initiative amidst the chaos.

Initially, he did not even engage directly in combat. He was merely circling around the area.

After making one round, he realized that the initiates from the Divine Tower of Shadow were already fighting with those from the Divine Tower of Land Academy.

“This is the Divine Tower of Shadow’s territory, we must act fast!” Magray exclaimed, as he intensified his magical onslaught.

“Call for backup from the Bone Flower Resource Point! Why are there so many senior initiates and Quasi Mages from the Divine Tower of Land Academy here? Are they also after the phenomenal initiate from the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring?” Bernard shouted in alarm.

With Sein already too far to pursue, Magray redirected his attack toward Bernard, supported by two of his comrades.

Bernard, already at a slight disadvantage against Magray, found himself further overwhelmed by the number on Magray’s side.

Back at the Bone Flower Resource Point, the same senior initiate approached Poppuri again.

“Bernard and the others are asking for support. It seems the initiates from the Divine Tower of Land Academy have arrived,” he reported.

Poppuri, preoccupied with something in her hands, did not bother looking up.

“Let’s wait a little longer and see how this goes first. We don’t want to get caught in the enemy’s trap,” she advised.
