135. Virus (4)
"Mr. Har, those monsters have destroyed the entire city and have now surrounded the city lord's mansion!"
In a town called Cas within the sphere of influence of the Lance family, the city lord Hal Lance and the other five mage apprentices were at a loss.
"Aren't the monsters unwitting? Why don't you let the city lord's mansion go?" An apprentice murmured to himself in despair.
They were already the only humans in the city, and even the servants and slaves of the City Lord's Mansion all mutated. They even killed a careless apprentice while everyone was not paying attention.
Curses or toxins are not only useless to the infected body, but will instead promote the virus to mutation again, so that they clearly have extraordinary power, but they have no choice but to face this situation.
Although ordinary ancient elemental magic can cause huge damage to monsters, they are not good at it. The most important thing is that the number of monsters is endless. Even the insects that used to be crushed and blown away at will have joined the siege of them.
"I have asked my family for help. The mages will come to save us and guard the city lord's mansion!" Hal said hoarsely. He had no choice but to do anything, and he could not even fly and escape. There were no fewer monsters who could fly than on the ground.
"They are here! They are here!"
The attack of the infected body is silently without any roar. Under the attack program set by the devil, they silently execute the killing order without retreating or hesitation. The dead infected body will be torn to pieces by the companions behind them in the next second, turning into nutrients to promote further mutations.
Many ants bite the elephant to death. When the number of infected bodies spread throughout Ceylon Island and is all enemies with the enemy mage, the quantity gap makes up for the quality gap. Although it is not the opponent of the official enemy mage at all, it can siege the ordinary enemy mage apprentice to death.
Cass City had not survived for an hour and was torn to pieces by overwhelmingly infected people. In other places on Ceylon, situations like Cass City happened every moment.
Adam was not in a hurry to go out to hunt down the mages of the formal level. In fact, in just three days when the virus spread, he had won more than 600 merits when sitting in the laboratory. In addition to what he had originally had, one thousand merits were almost completed.
"Gaga, master, this is so interesting! It's so simple! I feel like I'm like a god now!" The devil was addicted to the new game and couldn't extricate himself. He didn't need Adam to ask for it, and he was having a lot of fun in actively siegeing the city and siege.
Adam stood by the side expressionlessly, with a huge light curtain in front of him. The map of Ceylon Island was enlarged and put on again. Every town was marked. The red one was the occupied area and the green one was the undiscovered area. He deduced the distribution of high-end forces on the entire island in this way.
The mission is no longer difficult, and Adam is not willing to waste time here. Although each person only needs a thousand merits, the Super Dimensional Mage does not prohibit the trial apprentice from continuing to harvest after achieving the goal. Adam decided to collect as many points as possible and speed up the trial process.

On the other hand, the remaining trial apprentices of the War Alliance have gathered outside the enemy mage's defense circle. In their plan, they would encounter the enemy mage's defense circle by pushing one thousand kilometers. However, although they have encountered obstacles, the road is blocked by an infected body that has no consciousness and cannot communicate.
The trial apprentices kept attacking the infected bodies, while all members of the War Alliance gathered to set up a temporary command center to discuss how to deal with the infected bodies.
"Lilith, the matter is the first thing you investigated. Is there any new news?" asked a male apprentice on a huge round table. Thirty members sat together.
"What is certain now is that the mutation comes from a virus that is transmitted through air and blood, which is fatal to ordinary creatures, but is ineffective against mages." Lilith was exhausted. She only knew this news, and there was no way to investigate more, because the infected body had no way to communicate.
"I guess the virus does not come from the enemy mage." Lilith paused and then said.
"What do you mean is the trial apprenticeship?" someone questioned.
Lilith breathed lightly: "Yes, you should know that this matter is very serious. If it were done by the enemy mage, the fifth elemental holy tower will be released in the form of a mission and left to us to solve it. But three days have passed so far, and there is still no movement on the bracelet."
Everyone was silent for a moment. No task was the biggest doubt. They had also guessed whether the virus was spread by trial apprentices, but they thought carefully that no apprentice had such attainments in pharmacy in this period.
"If it were our people, who would it be? What are the benefits of doing this?" someone asked.
"I have no idea."
For some reason, Adam's name flashed through Lilith's mind. Although there was no evidence, she felt that it was Adam's doing it, but the doubts still exist. What are the benefits of carrying out ecological extinction for ordinary creatures?
While everyone was discussing, an apprentice suddenly entered and said, "Those monsters have retreated."

In the inland basement, the devil asked Adam: "Master, what should I do if I try an apprentice?"
A probe was inserted into the body of the virus named Garfields by the devil. The light curtain connecting the probe showed the scene where the trial apprentice gathered on the ground.
Although the number of infected bodies is almost endless, the power gap between individuals in the group of mage apprentices is too big. The apprentices can use a magic spell to destroy the infected bodies.
"Search them in batches of insect-like infected bodies, and retreat the rest." Adam replied while constantly extracting cells from mutated infected bodies.
The devil's confidence has been growing recently and shouted: "Master, although the children are not their opponents, they can also make them anxious. Is it too cheap for them to let them go?"
"No, I need to end this boring trial as soon as possible. It is impossible for me to kill all the official mages of the fifteen forces. I need their strength."
The devil was not very willing: "Master, that war alliance is not friendly to you, maybe you are already wanted."
Adam said indifferently: "I know, but they are not worthy of my calculations. Their living is more beneficial than disadvantages. Not only does the infectious body not have to hinder them, but they can even reveal some information."
The devil's eyes turned, understood Adam's intention, and smiled and said with a treacherous smile: "I understand the master, and I will find a few hard bones for them at that time."
