The Bizarre Wizarding World-Chapter 40: Desperate Situation

After getting a clear view of the scene, his heart gradually settled down again.

Under Holt's attack, the Black-Maned Giant Pig King was currently bound in place by numerous strange vines, soaked in blood and clearly at a disadvantage.

"Help me out!" Holt continued, persistently applying magic power.

Only then did Colin notice that the vines entangling the Black-Maned Giant Pig King were snapping one by one!

Marlow quickly cast a spell!

But the Black-Maned Giant Pig King reacted faster.

"Roar!"

It suddenly let out a ferocious roar, its basketball-sized eyes flashing with a red glow, as the black mane on its body instantly stood up like steel needles, and its muscles abruptly swelled.

With a forceful charge, the remaining vines suddenly shattered with a tearing sound.

Perhaps sensing its inevitable defeat, the Black-Maned Giant Pig King merely cast a hate-filled glance at Holt and the others and then, without lingering for battle, turned its head and fled in an instant!

With incredible speed, it had already put a distance of more than a dozen meters between them.

"Chase! We can't let it get away; the consequences will be dire!" Holt immediately called out to Marlow.

"After you finish off the remaining Black-Maned Giant Pigs, just wait here for us to return."

Marlow didn't hesitate and quickly instructed the other apprentices, then chased after Holt together.

The situation in the hall had become clear, and even without his presence, the remaining intermediate apprentices could handle the few leftover Black-Maned Giant Pigs.

On the other hand, the terrain of the Dark Forest was complex and fraught with danger, dealing with a fierce beast whose strength was not inferior to the usual advanced wizard apprentice.

Holt obviously needed his support more.

As for allowing it to escape, that was obviously not an option.

Not to mention that the Black-Maned Wild Boar King was a rarely seen high-level fierce beast, highly valuable.

Just the hateful gaze of the Black-Maned Giant Pig King was enough reason to pursue it... Nobody wanted a fierce beast with the strength of an advanced wizard apprentice keeping them in mind every day.

Soon, Marlow followed Holt's figure as they gradually disappeared around the far corner of the tunnel.

The cave became quiet for a moment, as the remaining apprentices looked at one another.

But this silence was soon broken by the remaining Black-Maned Giant Pigs' roar.

They stopped thinking and continued to surround and conquer the Black-Maned Giant Pigs.

After some time, Colin slowly exhaled and placed the dart in his hand back into the pouch at his waist.

Now in the hall, only the last Black-Maned Giant Pig remained, being attacked by a member of the Chiwen Gang; it was at the end of its strength, barely clinging to life.

According to unspoken agreement, this Giant Pig was his, no one else intervened, all merely watching quietly.

But Colin seemed to think of something, glancing at Catherine not far away.

His head hadn't completely turned.

"Roar!" A familiar roar suddenly sounded.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned back to look behind.

A very familiar Black-Maned Wild Boar appeared around the distant tunnel corner.

"How could it come back! Didn't Lord Marlow go after it!?" a member of the Chiwen Gang asked in panic.

"What do we do? It has the strength of an advanced wizard apprentice; we can't handle it!"

"It's not the same one!" someone countered.

'Indeed, it's not the same one,' Colin observed carefully and concluded.

This Black-Maned Giant Pig had a very similar appearance to the previous Black-Maned Giant Pig King but was slightly smaller in size.

Bang.

Just then, the last Giant Pig in the hall was killed and fell.

Now everyone turned around to face the newly arrived, slightly smaller, Black-Maned Giant Pig King.

Fear appeared on their faces.

In the apprenticeship, advancing to advanced apprentice was a challenging leap.

Usually, perhaps a dozen or twenty basic level wizard apprentices could contend with an intermediate wizard apprentice.

But a dozen or twenty intermediate wizard apprentices couldn't contend with an advanced wizard apprentice.

Even when facing some stronger advanced wizard apprentices, doubling the number of intermediate apprentices might not be enough!

At this moment, the tunnel they had come through was blocked by the large body of the new, slightly smaller Black-Maned Giant Pig King.

Looking back, the hall behind them had no exits, with just a small pool of water in the corner.

The slightly smaller Black-Maned Giant Pig King in front of them was clearly not much weaker than the previous one, comparable to an advanced wizard apprentice!

They had reached a dead end.

There was no time to think!

If they did not unite, they would be defeated one by one, leading to certain death!

Colin's lips barely moved as he was about to suggest that everyone band together to fight...

"It doesn't matter if it's the same one or not! Whether we can handle it or not, we have no way out. We have to prepare to fight together if we want any hope! Stop hiding your abilities, everything you've got, bring it out now!"

Someone had spoken the suggestion before him.

Looking up, it was a familiar face, Orlando, the unattractive chubby member of the same team.

He grimaced in pain, clenched his teeth, and pulled out a yellow Magic Crystal from his bosom, activating it with Magic Power and holding it in his hand with a single wave.

A spike as thick as a water bucket suddenly burst from the ground in front of the Black-Maned Giant Pig!

"Roar!!"

Caught off guard, the Black-Maned Giant Pig collided with it head-on, and its massive body was forced to a halt.

But the spike was stopped by its thick skin and failed to cause much damage.

Swoosh!!

The Apprentices seized the opportunity, unleashing their full power in an attack!

Many of them, like Orlando, took out their treasured Magic Crystals.

Those who had become Second Class Apprentices were no fools; none of them were oblivious to the situation.

If they were stingy with Magic Stones now and kept their trump cards hidden, it would be too late to use them if the Black-Maned Giant Pig was not dealt with!

Fireballs, Ice Spurs, Acid Liquid, Darts, Wind Blades...

Countless varied forms of witchcraft assaults were launched like a surge at the momentarily immobilized Black-Maned Giant Pig, exploding upon impact.

Shockwaves kicked up dust from the ground, shrouding the area in dust and smoke so thick that the Black-Maned Giant Pig was barely visible.

Moments later, the power of the Magic Crystals was exhausted, and the attacks slowed.

In the distance, the dust gradually cleared, revealing a pair of eyes like blood-red flames silently emerging from the dust.

"Roar!!"

A fierce cry suddenly erupted, scattering the remaining dust!

The figure of the Black-Maned Giant Pig became visibly clear, its body now strangely etched with red patterns.

The next second, it was panting heavily, its legs slightly bent, ready to lunge.

"We're done..."

The color drained from the Apprentices' faces.

Colin's pupils also contracted slightly as if an invisible hand was clutching his heart!

He didn't have time to think any further and made a sharp leap to the right.

But the Black-Maned Wild Boar was so fast that it went from being shrouded in dust one second to charging at close range the next!

Even his Great Knight's speed didn't allow him to completely evade the attack.

Bang!!

His vision blurred all at once, and by the time he realized what had happened, he was flying through the air before crashing heavily into the slaughterhouse-like cave behind him.

Three others shared the same fate, all members of the Chiwen Gang.

It was probably because he stood at the very left of his own team, right next to the Chiwen Gang.

The three from the Chiwen Gang were in much worse shape than Colin, essentially incapacitated.

The Black-Maned Giant Pig's weight was no lighter than that of an earth-moving truck from his previous world, and at that moment, with the red patterns enhancing its speed, it was even faster than a truck.

The Defensive Witchcraft of ordinary Intermediate Wizard Apprentices couldn't withstand such an impact.

The Chiwen Gang Apprentices were left with barely a breath.

But Colin, relying on the Hope Defensive Field, Steel Armor, and the Blood Energy Armor inherent to a Great Knight, ended up with only minor injuries.

Bang!

He hit the ground and quickly got back to his feet.

Looking back at the Black-Maned Wild Boar, it was clearly sluggish after executing that charge, appearing to have expended a huge amount of energy.

There was no time to hesitate: now was the perfect moment to counterattack!

"It's almost down, attack now!" Colin called out to Catherine and the others while drawing his darts.

Meanwhile, Catherine and the others were just recovering from their shock.

The recent charge by the Black-Maned Giant Pig had been overwhelmingly powerful, equivalent to a full-force blow from an Advanced Wizard Apprentice.

They were relieved that they weren't in the direction of its charge.

When Orlando heard Colin's shout, he instinctively wanted to move forward to help.

Willard and the remaining frail wizards from the Chiwen Gang followed closely behind.

Boom!

But just as they took a step forward, a rumbling sound came from behind, and the cave passage started to collapse.

Orlando and the others' faces changed instantly, and they hurriedly turned and rushed back.

At that moment, Colin also realized what was happening and turned his shocked gaze toward the inexplicably collapsing passage.

He rushed toward the passage urgently.

Unfortunately, he was too far away from it.

Bang!!

Before he could reach the passage, a huge rock crashed down, making a deafening noise.

All Colin could do was stop in front of the rubble with a grim expression.

And then.

"Roar!"

The roar of the Black-Maned Giant Pig once again came from behind!
