"...a group of antimages were killing mortals, and a few of my squirrels were killed as well. I didn't get to see the whole thing."

"A massacre? Are they trying to build despair?"

Adam wanted to leave, but after hearing their conversation, he asked, "Are you talking about the situation in the city?"

The apprentice holding the squirrel remained silent, but the apprentice who accused Adam said, "Adam, right? You shouldn't act alone. I'm sure you don't have that many magic scrolls on you. Your life will be in danger if you're overwhelmed. Why not follow us?"

"Master," the devil snickered. "They don't seem to be harmful, but they are really dumb."

Adam didn't know what to do as well. This apprentice was bossy to him at first, but now, he wants him to join their team?

"Sorry," the apprentice with the squirrel spoke up. "He doesn't speak very well, but we don't have any other intentions. It's better to save the scrolls for later -- we are on the outskirts of Ceylon Island now, so there are very few antimages here. You shouldn't waste something so precious."

"It's fine," Adam said, not sure how to break the news to them. "Are all the antimage apprentices in the city in the mansion?"

The apprentice nodded, not sure why Adam asked this for.

"Come with us, we can scourge for information. We can exchange it for points as well."

Adam's eyes lit up. He didn't know he could obtain points like that. This also meant that he could spend points to obtain information.

Seeing the change in Adam's expression, they thought Adam wanted to join their team, "Yup! Come on now, we- wait, where are you going?"

Adam darted into the sky, and the devil morphed into Adam's appearance, jeering at them before transforming back into their amorphous form to sneak into the city.

Runes flickered in the sky again, and thunderclouds loomed on the sky.

The devil was no longer afraid of the thunderclouds, knowing that Adam was careful enough to not hit them.

The antimage apprentices could only raise their heads in horror when they saw Adam.

"It's him! It's the same person from the City of Keyin!"

The owner of the city is an antimage apprentice on the verge of promotion. He sensed the destruction of the City of Keyin two hours ago, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to start collecting human despair. He didn't know if Adam would come to the city, but he didn't want to run either. He planned to promote and kill Adam, which will give him a big name.

"Quickly! Kill them by any means possible!" the city owner roared as he watched his subordinates brutally kill groups of mortals. "His magic must take some time, buy some time for me to promote! I'll make him pay!"

"Is that so? Why don't you start conjuring barriers, then?"

A small questioning voice whispered in his ear, and he replied without thinking, "No! I can't waste my magic on barriers!"

Thousands of swords rose from the ground, and they were all imbued with the blue flickering of electricity.

"Are you sure?"

The owner of the city was furious, conjuring a negative magic whip in his hand trying to swat the source of the voice away, "Shut up! Who are you?! You... got you!"

The devil was hit by the whip and was sliced in half, but it had no effect on them.

"Funny," the devil chuckled.

Before the owner of the city could answer, he could hear Adam's voice booming in the sky, "Lightning... guns..."

The squirrel on the apprentice's hand hid inside its master's robes, and three apprentices woke up from their stupor, fleeing from the city in horror, "Damn! This guy is crazy! H-he doesn't even use magic scrolls!"

Lightning crashed down upon the city under Adam's guidance, bombarding the mansion rapidly. Everyone except the owner of the city was blasted into ash, and the owner of the city ripped open the life-saving device given to him by an antimage, planning to bring Adam down with...

Another carpet of lightning blasted upon the city, and the mansion was no more.

The entire town was levelled as well.

Adam used the magnetic field to retrieve the devil, and the devil couldn't help but complain, "Master, these antimage apprentices are too stupid. This trial seems meaningless."

Adam looked at the 32 points added to his bracelet. If the antimage cities maintain the current population density, then he could reach 1000 points with ease.

Adam patted his long, flowing hair that was standing up because of the static electricity. Using his psychic arms, he cut his hair using several wind blades before landing by the three apprentices.

The three of them took a step back in unison, smiling with fear, "Adam, you're very strong."

"Master, you scared them," the devil chuckled.

Adam wasn't surprised. He knew that these three apprentices were not strong at all, and he predicted that they were trying to gamble their luck participating in the trial. Taking advantage of them, he smiled, "If possible, I would like to propose a deal."

The three nodded in succession.

"Tell me the information you have collected about other cities. I'll give you my points in exchange for them."
