Booker was thinking in a normal way.

This place had been taken first, and indeed there wasn't anything good inside.

Booker was in a bad mood, feeling unlucky, and was ready to leave right away.

He never thought that the person who beat him to it arrived just a little bit earlier than he did.

Normally, there wouldn't be such a coincidence.

So Booker naturally assumed that the items here had already been taken by the person who came first.

He had no idea that the person was still here, and hiding in the basement.

"Martina, you're still the observant one. I'll give you a good reward when we get back tonight." Booker was extremely happy at this moment, growing more satisfied with Martina.

If Martina hadn't noticed a slight difference on the lawn, Booker wouldn't have discovered the hiding Herag.

"It's all thanks to the teacher's prowess." Martina's face turned red as if she thought of something upon hearing Booker's promise of a reward, making her look even more alluring.

Booker turned to Herag and said, "Hand over the items."

He didn't ask about Herag's identity because, in his view, it was meaningless.

Herag replied calmly, "There's nothing valuable here; I just got in as well."

"Kid, don't spout such nonsense in front of me. Hand over the items, and I'll give you a quick death." Booker bluntly indicated he intended to kill Herag without beating around the bush.

"Hand over the items, or I'll gouge out your eyes!" Martina venomously glared at Herag as she spoke.

Herag said, "I'm an official member of Serlandir. Are you trying to provoke a war by attacking me?"

"Serlandir?" Booker hesitated for a moment upon hearing Herag's declaration of identity.

But then he thought, this is a contaminated zone, so he smirked coldly, "If I say you're not, then you're not. I only know you're a thief who stole my things!"

Herag's expression turned cold, knowing this old man was determined to eliminate him.

So he wasted no more words and directly activated his Titan Power form.

His body rapidly swelled in size, tremendously increasing his strength and constitution.

The stone giant hand holding Herag instantly shattered, and Herag seized the moment to charge toward the castle's main entrance.

The castle gate was the only exit. As long as he could get into the contaminated zone, he had a chance to escape.

No matter how skilled and daring Booker was, he wouldn't risk chasing him very far in the contaminated zone.

Booker was somewhat surprised; Herag's suddenly swelling size and strength were beyond his expectations.

The stone giant hand he conjured could restrain a typical Level 1 Crystalization Wizard without any problem, but it was unexpectedly broken free by Herag in an instant.

This made Booker's face look even more displeased.

If he couldn't even handle a Level 1 Liquidation Wizard, how could he maintain his standing in front of these students?

Booker snorted coldly, waved his hand, and a massive, thick stone wall rose from the ground, sealing off the castle gate leading outside.

Herag's sprinting figure immediately came to a halt, facing a stone wall over ten meters thick, impossible to destroy in a short time.

"Drawing a Prison."

Booker's voice sounded from behind, and then a gigantic cage formed around Herag's body.

In an instant, a huge birdcage-like stone enclosure formed.

Herag was like a small bird trapped inside the cage.

The stone cage was made up of many columns, with relatively large gaps between the stone pillars.

Herag tried to squeeze through, only to find that the gaps between the stone pillars merely appeared to be there but couldn't actually allow his hand to pass through.

"Idiot!" Martina couldn't help but suspect Herag's intelligence upon seeing this scene.

In her opinion, Herag was doomed to die.

Herag naturally wouldn't give up. He took out several Fire Salamander Bombs, threw them toward the same spot, and detonated them instantly.

Bang!

The entire stone cage didn't even sway, and the blasted area remained unscathed.

"This cage contains Rule Power. With your strength, it's impossible to inflict any damage on it," Booker said unhurriedly.

He just quietly watched Herag try various methods without stopping him, not worried at all that Herag could escape from the stone cage.

Seeing the Fire Salamander Bombs were ineffective, Herag then pulled out his World Tree Bow and shot an arrow into a corner.

The green arrow from the World Tree Bow quickly formed and flew out, appearing at the edge of the stone cage in an instant and exploding.

"It's effective!"

Herag noticed that the spot where he shot had developed some extremely fine cracks.

Even though it wasn't obvious, it indicated that the stone cage wasn't invincible.

"How is that possible!"

Booker was a bit taken aback, immediately focusing on the World Tree Bow in Herag's hand.

He had never seen this bow and didn't know what it was, but he guessed it must be an extraordinary treasure.

The fact that it could inflict minor damage on the stone cage already indicated that this bow contained some Rule Power.

With the power of Herag, a mere Level 1 Wizard, it would be impossible to damage the stone cage otherwise.

"Sure enough, there's something good." Booker showed a hint of greed.

"Teacher, that bow and arrow..." Martina also noticed the extraordinariness of the World Tree Bow and reminded him.

Booker laughed, "I'll let you play with it for a couple of days later."

"Thank you, teacher!" Martina was quite pleased to hear this.

In Booker's view, the World Tree Bow was already as good as his.

He thought this trip would be fruitless, only to unexpectedly gain a bonus.

Martina contributed significantly to this outcome.

In his joy, Booker promised Martina she could use the World Tree Bow for a period.

However, what he didn't know was that the World Tree Bow had very high bloodline power requirements for its user.

Martina, with her ordinary bloodline, would have to expend her life energy to use the World Tree Bow.

"Let's settle this kid first." Booker cast aside unrelated thoughts, raised his hand to gather magic power, ready to directly kill Herag trapped in the stone cage.

At this moment, Herag was a bit anxious inside the stone cage, a massive sense of crisis surging in his heart, as if death could descend at any moment.

He had tried many methods but couldn't escape from the stone cage.

Even using Flash wasn't working; the spatial travel of Flash couldn't leave the stone cage's spatial area, only stopping by the stone pillars.

Just as Booker raised his hand, about to cast a spell to annihilate Herag directly.

Roar~

A mighty roar came from the distance, sounding like thunder rolling, sweeping over from afar.

Roar~

When the second roar came, the sound had already arrived above the castle, resounding like explosive thunder above everyone's heads.

Herag covered his ears, feeling uncomfortable. Even with his constitution, the explosive volume was hard for him to endure.

He glanced outside the stone cage and, sure enough, besides Booker, everyone else was on the ground struggling.
