Have you ever been a witch? Take this fireball!

Chapter 60 Explosion

Dorothy followed Kane's magical trail directly to his residence.

But as soon as Dorothy arrived, she frowned.

In her magical perception.

The once clear traces of magic have been covered by a thick layer of crimson magic.

In this situation, even if there were any clues, they would probably have already disappeared.

"Blood magic..."

As she got closer, Dorothy could sense a powerful corrosive quality in the seeping magic.

When her senses touched the remnants of this blood magic, they were completely unable to discern what was inside.

This situation made Dorothy realize that even if she entered Kane's house, she would most likely not find anything.

"Is it really this guy?"

Dorothy walked around the house, peering inside through the windows.

There is nothing suspicious.

"If Kane really is the murderer, his blood magic would have already destroyed all the evidence."

"Unless someone has the ability to read Kane's mind, or uses magic like scene replay on that teaching assistant to see what happened in his last moments."

But for now, I can only think about it.

Dorothy read many books in the library, but neither of them contained the two kinds of magic.

Dorothy closed her eyes and carefully sensed her surroundings. She had been very careful to conceal her magic as she walked.

No traces were left along the way.

Of course, if the archmage himself came, he might discover something. But an apprentice wouldn't notice anything.

Dorothy didn't leave, but instead circled the area again and found a suitable hiding place.

It was a low-growing, ornamental orchid tree.

The fragrant orchid tree is a magical plant that is evergreen and blooms once a month. The fragrance of its flowers has a calming effect.

Planting in this place full of advanced apprentices is a benefit bestowed by the city of apprentices.

Dorothy nimbly leaped onto the tree trunk, hiding behind the dense foliage, and waited quietly.

Kane returned late at night.

His face showed some fatigue, but more of a sense of relief.

Kane took out his key and went into his house.

Just as Dorothy was about to climb down from the tree and get closer, she noticed a figure quietly approaching from a distance. The figure cautiously looked around before sticking to the corner of Kane's house and making no further move.

Upon noticing this, Dorothy stopped what she was doing to avoid being discovered.

I'm not sure who the other person is.

But his goal was the same as Dorothy's: to monitor Kane.

Dorothy couldn't make any rash moves, and she wasn't sure when the person pressed against the corner would leave.

As darkness fell completely, Dorothy was pondering how to escape when the figure pressed against the corner of the wall moved.

The other party slowly moved to another corner.

Dorothy's view was obstructed, and she couldn't see the other person's movements.

A moment later, the other party moved again.

This time they moved to the next corner, but Dorothy could see their movements.

"Is he burying something?"

Are they still digging for something?

Dorothy wanted to get a better look, but she was perched in the tree, making it difficult to move.

We can only wait patiently.

The figure seemed to be making some kind of movement at each of the four corners of Kane's house, but the person seemed to be very careful, staying at each corner for a long time, as if worried about attracting Kane's attention inside.

As night slowly approached, the night deepened.

The lights in Kane's house had long been turned off.

Dorothy felt a bit sore from being curled up for so long.

Although she was physically strong, she had never received training in long-term covert operations and felt that she was about to reach her limit.

But that person hadn't left yet.

Dorothy resisted the urge to throw a fireball at the figure.

The enemy's identity and strength were unknown. At this point, Dorothy could only look at them with her eyes and dared not even use her magic to probe them, for fear of being discovered.

Finally, just as Dorothy's patience reached its limit, the figure moved again.

The other party left Kane's house under the cover of night.

Dorothy waited a little longer in the tree.

Then, she carefully released her magical perception to search for anyone else around her.

No!

Once she was sure it was safe, Dorothy jumped down from the tree.

She was about to step forward, intending to walk to Kane's house to take a look.

Suddenly, Dorothy's eyes widened.

She sensed a powerful surge of magical energy.

This magical fluctuation originated at Kane's house.

No, to be precise, it happened at the four corners of Kane's house.

"not good!"

Without a second thought, Dorothy instinctively activated her breathing technique and retreated rapidly.

A powerful surge of magical energy instantly spread outwards.

boom!

A loud bang!

Dorothy, who was jumping in mid-air, was instantly blown away by the explosion.

After rolling several times on the ground, Dorothy raised her head and looked in the direction of the explosion.

In the darkness, firelight filled the sky.

Green flames filled the entire field of vision.

All that could be seen were the ruins of houses.

Dorothy now realized that the mysterious shadowy figure had planted a bomb!

Moreover, its power is terrifying.

The explosion's epicenter covered a distance of 50 meters.

Dorothy was hiding a hundred meters from the epicenter of the explosion, yet she was still blown away by the shockwave.

It flew at least thirty or forty meters.

All the windows of the surrounding houses were shattered, and some roofs were blown off.

Dorothy managed to get up from the ground, having used her magic to protect herself from the blast as she was thrown into the air, thus escaping injury.

Only then did screams and cries for help erupt from all around.

"What's going on! Help!"

"Attack! Attack!"

"Where's the patrol team?"

"Ah! My leg!"

"..."

All sorts of sounds filled my ears.

Dorothy looked toward the epicenter of the explosion; she only cared about one thing: whether Kane was still alive.

And who was the person who planted this large bomb?

Dorothy looked at the chaotic crowd around her and ran outside with them.

The City of Apprentices reacted quickly.

After the explosion, several streams of magical light flew toward this direction from the direction of the magic tower.

Several streaks of light instantly arrived above the explosion area. As the magical light dissipated, several figures stood in the air, looking down at the chaotic crowd below.

Lyon frowned.

His eyes searched around in the firelight.

The magical perceptions of several teachers intersected, continuously sensing the apprentice area.

Then Lyon spotted a familiar figure.

He slightly opened his eyes and turned to look at the area where the teacher lived, where an even more powerful magical energy suddenly rose up.

It is Coxol.

So he immediately said, "I'll go down below to evacuate the apprentices, but it seems that Master Thor is also coming over. You two should talk to him about the situation."

After speaking, the wind element on Leon's body dissipated, and his body quickly fell.

The other teachers exchanged glances, continued searching for suspicious individuals in the air, and waited for Kosor to arrive.

The moment Leon landed, he reached out towards the crowd, and his magic instantly spread out, grabbing Dorothy who was retreating through the crowd.

At the same time, Lyon placed one hand near his mouth, and the wind element was concentrated.

His voice echoed throughout the entire apprentice residential area.

"Apprentices, do not panic. Stay where you are and do as I instruct."

As he spoke, the great mage's oppressive aura pressed down on the apprentices.
