Chapter 74 Be careful not to trip over the insect’s thin legs
“You’re really unlucky. I was chasing someone else here, but that mouse ran too fast. I couldn’t catch him here. Completely lost trace.
Fortunately, I met you."
The young black-robed wizard spoke calmly. When he spoke, the corners of his mouth would always raise habitually, giving the impression that he was sneering at any time.
"Oh, I need to remind you.
Your method of concealing your strength is quite good, but unfortunately the loopholes at the soul level are too obvious."
Seeing the judgmental look of the black-robed wizard in front of him, Ronan was startled, and then he realized what went wrong with him.
He forgot, he forgot the difference between a formal wizard and a wizard apprentice. In addition to fluctuations in mental power, the degree of purification of the soul is also an extremely obvious feature.
After a soul purification, the soul of a formal wizard will naturally give people a sense of clarity.
Apprentice-level wizards may not be able to feel this, but for wizards at the same level, they can tell it with a little attention.
"I have just been promoted, and I haven't fully adapted to the changes in strength and status."
In fact, the function of the fragments of the mirror tool itself is very limited. It can only reproduce the breath, which is quite useless.
It can only be said that everything changed too quickly, and Ronan's preparations for escape were also hasty, completely ignoring this point.
Ronan simply withdrew the effect of the magic tool and felt the aura emanating from the young man in black robe in front of him. The fluctuations in his mental power were very powerful, at least three times more than his.
"call--"
Ronan exhaled a breath, thought for a while, and said to the young man in black robe: "Actually, I'm very familiar with Angelet from the Forest of Deathrattles, so we don't necessarily have to do anything.
Moreover, I have only joined Hoddam College not long ago, and I don’t have much sense of belonging. If possible, I can choose to join you instead."
Ronan's words were very serious, but in fact they were not completely nonsense. He had really thought about the operation of "surrendering to the enemy before the battle".
For him, joining the black robe is not an unacceptable thing, especially now when he has no idea where he should go next.
His words immediately stunned the young man in black robe. After taking a few breaths, he said with a smile on his face: "What a stupid and ridiculous way to beg for mercy.
Who told you that we are the Forest of Death Rattles? Already?
Scarlet returns to the tower! "
The young man in black robe chanted and rolled out a blood ball the size of a table tennis ball, then exploded it in his hand with a "pop" sound. Countless blood foam condensed into a red spire pattern that looked like erect fangs.
"Can't you even tell whether it's the undead spell or the blood spell?"
"Scarlet Tower..."
Ronan looked slightly startled, and then he understood why the base camp of Hoddam Academy was suddenly attacked after the battle with the Forest of Deathrattles lasted for half a year. It turned out that a third-party wizard force had joined in.
And the third party forces that joined later are obviously much stronger than the two!
“.As for joining us?”
The young man in black robe looked Ronan up and down, shook his head and said, "Looking at your unnatural aging, it should be caused by spending too much lifespan when you were promoted to a formal wizard, right?
Do you think we would want such qualifications?
Don’t think of the Scarlet Tower as a force of low-class wizards like you Hoddam, we don’t want some rubbish wizards.”
The young man in black robe stood tall, looking down at Ronan with an expression of disdain and disdain on his face, like a superior person looking at an inferior person.
Faced with his sarcasm and ridicule, Ronan's eyes fluctuated for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and asked seriously.
"Then what kind of stuff is considered trash?"
The young man in black robe narrowed his eyes and looked at Ronan without answering, but the patience on his face was clearly disappearing quickly.
Soon, cold murderous intent emerged from his body, and he said coldly: "Okay, the time for last words is over, it's time to sacrifice your head, right?!"
"Bang!"
Before he finished speaking, the young man in black robe suddenly looked startled.
He unexpectedly found that Ronan's figure was suddenly lost in front of him, and there was only a pit that had just exploded and splashed earth and turf.
Before he could fully disperse his mental power to catch the disappearing figure, he suddenly seemed to sense something and turned around suddenly——
The empty back.
Look up again.
The pupils shrink suddenly!
I saw a figure leaping high and over his head, with his back to the sun. His gray robe and white hair were blowing in the wind. His face could not be seen clearly, and he could only see a pair of cold blue eyes like gems. The blazing blue flames on the staff held in both hands.
"What are you talking about? It's not rubbish."
The cold and deep voice fell from the sky together with the strong and bone-chilling murderous intention, right at the chest of the young man in black robe.
The young man in black robe let out a low roar, and his huge spiritual power suddenly unfolded like a force field. A large number of energy particles gathered together, and a turbulent and thick blood took shape in an instant, and then surged upward layer by layer like a rolling wave.
"[Blood Surge]!"
The blood waves accumulated layer by layer, forming a huge barrier in an instant, and it was like a big bloody hand turned back, which could be violently shot back at any time.
The young man in black robe, with his hair flying against the terrifying bloody light, looked evil and powerful.
However.
“Bang!”
A dull explosion sounded at this moment, and the young man in black robe's eyes trembled slightly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The muffled sound continued.
The expression of the young man in black robe finally changed. He just raised the staff in his hand. Before he could throw out the next spell, the barrier formed by the large blood waves in front of him had been broken open layer by layer!
I saw a figure dual-wielding long swords breaking through the waves from behind the blood light. Wrapped in faint blue flames, this body had countless mysterious qi flowing through it.
With the momentum of falling from the sky, he was like a ferocious bird with its feathers and claws spread out, and layers of blood were torn apart by him.
Master-level proficiency of over 100 [Charging Weapon - Spell-Breaking Power], master-level [Basic Sword Skills], plus master-level calm consciousness when [Bright Realm] is turned on.
Ronan With blue eyes, the long black sword blessed by the spell-breaking flame in his hand easily tore through the mental force field around the young black-robed man like a bamboo, and he was approaching the opponent in an instant.
The young man in black robe quickly activated a light red energy shield, but it only appeared for less than a second before being popped open like a bubble.
"Pfft——"
The long sword pierced the young black-robed young, plump and energetic body, and in the latter's angry and frightened eyes, it took him all the way down and nailed him to the ground!
The moment he landed, Ronan kicked hard on the young black-robed body. He took advantage of the momentum and jumped up again. The long sword was drawn out, and a pale hand under the bulging robe was facing the young black-robed man. Click out.
"[Particles... Torrent]!"
In an instant, countless mysterious qi machines swarmed in, intertwining into an unprecedentedly terrifying legal field.
A total of forty-five pure black energy particles were generated, forming a torrent of crushing force, rushing downwards
Compared with his apprenticeship, Ronan, who is now officially a wizard, releases this spell again, which is more powerful. It's more than ten times more powerful!
"Boom--"
The forest floor shook violently, and the aftermath of large waves of energy was like high-pressure water splashing on the ground, flowing freely across the forest, overturning large tracts of turf and soil
When all the movement subsided, the original young man Where the black robe lay, almost everything ceased to exist, leaving only a shocking mess and a big pit in the center.
Ronan stood there, squinting his eyes and looking at the big pit. He slowly inserted the long sword back into his waist and said softly:
"The dead ones are the real garbage."
After saying that, Ronan took two steps forward and scanned the surroundings with his mental power, trying to find any traces left by the young man in black robe.
Unfortunately, [Energy Missile—Particle Torrent] was as rough as ever, except for some residual blood stains and scattered bone fragments. The opponent had almost nothing left.
"It would be great if I could get his storage bag... maybe I can also find the inheritance of first-level spells in it."
Ronan sighed softly, "Even if it's a black-robed blood-based one."
What he wants to do most now is to arm himself with strength as soon as possible. The feeling of precariousness makes him a little hungry.
Suddenly, Ronan thought that there was a strange box in his storage bag that he got from Linus and could only be opened by a formal wizard.
I was about to take it out and take a look, "Whoosh——"
A sharp sound broke through the air, and a chill suddenly came from Ronan's heart.
He twisted his body instinctively, and the sword under his robe returned to his hand at the same time. He raised his hand, slashed, dodged, and blocked.
The spear suddenly projected by several blurry black images passed through Luo in an instant. The position where Nan was standing made another "dinging" sound of sharp objects colliding, and then quickly retracted and disappeared. Ronan rolled to the side in a slightly embarrassed manner, half-kneeling on the ground with a long sword.
There was a slight stinging sensation on the cheek, which was the wound that had been cut just that moment.
Ronan raised his hand and gently wiped away the warm blood on his cheek, but kept staring at a certain position directly in front of him.
Something swam out of the trees silently, and Ronan finally saw what it was that had just attacked him.
They were several thick dark green vines with many black spikes growing on them, like monstrous and ferocious pythons, constantly expressing cold murderous intent.
"this"
Ronan looked startled, and the next second he saw a slender female figure slowly walking out from behind the long vines.
Seaweed-like green hair, weird tattoos all over his cheeks, green eyes, and an aura of madness and resentment emanating from his whole body
Ronan's face quickly became ugly. "Who the hell let this mad dog out again?"
Under the turbid sky contaminated by blood, two figures flew quickly over the wilderness.
The strong wind blew Jerome's short hair, and his cold face was filled with solemnity and worry.
Although his body was being pushed forward by the flying magic tool, Jerome's eyes kept falling in the direction of the academy behind him.
Jerome didn't look back until he was almost near the edge of the forest.
"Hoddam.. is over."
A heavy sound came from his mouth.
The beautiful witch wearing a gray-blue robe beside her was depressed and said through gritted teeth: "Those lunatics in the Forest of Deathrattles couldn't get the key to Nirvana themselves, and they actually revealed the news to the Scarlet Tower."
"I'm afraid the Scarlet Tower got the news itself. After all, this war has been going on for too long."
Jerome shook his head and calmed down. He looked up in the direction of the forest, feeling some energy fluctuations coming from there, and said: "The dean alone has held back most of the power of the scarlet tower. It seems that We are about to use the Innocuous Wood
She asked us to take Laura away and then go to the Thorn Palace to meet her. "
The beautiful sorceress nodded, and soon expressed a headache and helplessness, and sighed: "I'm really worried that neither of us may be able to take Laura away by force.
You should know how difficult it is to deal with her when she goes crazy."
Jerome thought for a while and replied: "Then wait until she goes crazy before taking her away. Anyway...it won't take long."
When the beautiful witch heard this, she looked at Jerome in surprise.
"This is not something you would say, Jerome. Aren't you always the most loving and supportive of the little apprentice wizard? And I remember that you are very optimistic about that little wizard."
“Many things also need to be divided into times.”
Jerome looked calm and said, "These are too luxurious for us who are on the run now."
The beautiful witch said nothing more.
Soon, the two approached the forest, and from a distance they saw Laura's iconic vine spell dancing wildly in the forest, and large tracts of trees fell down under the terrifying force.
A breath entered the two of them.
Suddenly, a violent fluctuation of energy particles came from the battle group, accompanied by a mysterious energy that was difficult to capture.
The beautiful witch who was approaching felt this and immediately covered her mouth.
"What did I sense? Jerome.
It seems to be the breath of an extraordinary magic field!
Did I feel wrong?
Also"
The beautiful witch had an expression of surprise on her face, and turned to look at Jerome beside her in disbelief, "When did this little wizard advance to the first level?!"
Jerome's eyes flashed violently, and after a few seconds, he quickly uttered a sound.
"Lean over and take a look!"
"Dang! Puff - sizzle -"
Ronan fought hard and slashed at a dark green vine that was as thick as an adult's thigh and rushed towards him.
The blade of the sword struck the vine, making a crisp sound similar to the collision of metal, and then quickly slashed in, with a slight feeling of damping. Finally, it broke free, and a section of the chopped vine fell to the ground, twisting crazily like a living creature.
"Damn it!"
Although he blocked the blow, Ronan's face did not look good.
He lowered his head to check the long sword in his hand. The narrow black sword body wrapped in blazing blue flames was full of gaps on both sides, and even gave him a feeling that it was about to shatter.
[Charged Weapon - Spell-Breaking Power] with a proficiency of over 100, driven by the powerful spiritual power of the official wizard level, can cut through the blood spell of the black-robed wizard in the scarlet tower as easily as cutting through a piece of brittle paper. .
However, against the crazy woman Laura's vine spell, its power was suddenly greatly reduced.
"Hers is not a pure first-level spell. The energy particles have physical support. It can be regarded as a strange combination of magic tools and spells."
[The power of breaking magic] can easily disintegrate the arrangement of energy particles that make up the spell, but cutting the vines requires the sharpness of the sword itself, and the vines summoned by Laura are so hard
Ronan once again felt so aggrieved that he couldn't help it.
If he was holding a first-level spell sword in his hand now, it might be a different scene.
The time it took for him to be promoted to a first-level wizard was really too short.
Ronan's long sword danced, and his master-level [Basic Swordsmanship] glowed with unprecedented brilliance at this moment.
His figure dragged blurry afterimages in the forest. While dodging the vines that were rushing towards her like giant pythons, he quickly approached Laura.
The messy zero-level spells he had learned at this moment were basically useless in the battle except for disrupting the rhythm and draining mental energy.
All he can rely on is the power of the two major realms he has mastered. And underneath his seemingly old age, there is actually a powerful body that is comparable to the power of a humanoid monster!
“You did give me some surprise.”
Laura was suspended between two white nan trees out of thin air. Dozens of dark green vines spread out from behind. The whole person looked like a human-faced spider full of dangerous and poisonous aura.
She looked at Ronan in front of her expressionlessly, his white hair reflected in her green pupils, as well as the blazing blue flames on the long sword in her hand.
"I have been promoted to the first level, and I have also mastered a low-level and unpopular legal power."
Laura's expression suddenly became ferocious, and the dark green tattoos covering her face instantly turned into the color of blood. The blood-red rune patterns quickly extended on dozens of vines behind her.
In an instant, the originally difficult dark green vines suddenly swelled and became twice as strong, and the intensity and speed of the attacks also increased dramatically, like a group of bloodthirsty pythons!
Laura's face was covered with bloody vine patterns, which was ferocious and terrifying. Her mouth opened and she let out a sharp scream, and the killing intent in her body was almost full.
Dozens of thick vines soaked in blood tore through the air, making a terrifying low whistle. After cutting down large tracts of trees like cutting wheat, they quickly hit a gray shadow that was unable to dodge.
"Bang!"
A cloud of blood mist instantly exploded on the gray figure who was drawn, and the whole figure flew out like a cannonball, but broke an old tree in the middle of the way, then turned back, and finally rolled to Laura in embarrassment.
Laura looked down at him coldly, dozens of bloody vines swinging slightly behind her like tentacles, exuding a disturbing aura.
At this time, she was not in a hurry to take action.
"It's a pity. Bugs are bugs. Even if they become a little stronger, they are still so weak that people feel pitiful!"
"Ahem."
The man curled up on the ground like a prawn coughed violently several times, coughing up large balls of blood foam.
Then he raised his body with difficulty and slowly climbed up from the ground.
At this time, Ronan looked extremely miserable.
The gray robe on his body was almost torn, stained by blood and showed a large dark color. His long gray hair was messy, wet with a mixture of blood and sweat, and stuck to his cheeks and forehead in an awkward manner.
Ronan was shaky, as if he was going to die in the next second, and the black sword in his hand was broken to only half.
"insect."
He repeated Laura's words to himself, and his eyes gradually began to glow, and the clear blue almost burst out.
"Be careful not to trip over the insect's thin legs!"
After saying that, Ronan grinned, and his face covered in blood and dirt showed a cold and extremely bright smile to Laura, who had never been so close to him before.
"[Energy Missile—Particle Torrent]!"
Countless mysterious qi machines came together, and a huge legal domain suddenly took shape.
When dozens of pure black particles turned into a torrent and rolled away in a mighty torrent, Ronan's dejection and weakness instantly disappeared.
"Bang!"
The grass exploded, and the figure holding the broken sword rushed forward quickly following the terrifying torrent, with blazing flames flying like a blue flag, and stabbed hard at Laura, whose expression suddenly changed.
"Die to me! You stinky Sanba!"
When the cold and crazy roar sounded, two figures from outside the battle group rushed over.
Feeling the two completely different terrifying powers that erupted in that instant, the eyelids of Jerome and the beautiful sorceress trembled fiercely.
"Two types of extraordinary powers"
"How the hell did he do that?!"
The beautiful sorceress almost groaned as she uttered this exclamation.
