Chapter 22 (1/2)

“Mr. Smith, you’re finally here!”

Beside him, Lanza together with a few beginner and intermediate mages had been frantically running away. They knew that even if they worked together, they would not be able to deal with the Cyclops, so they had been leading the monster in circles outside the city.

‘Although these people seem cowardly, they still do their jobs.’

Andrew frowned and said, “The Cyclops is only an intermediate magic beast. You should attack it, not just run.”

The sparse group of about 10 intermediate mages did not hesitate and immediately rushed forward. With Andrew, the strongest advanced mage, guarding the rear, they felt they were safe.

Seeing that there was support, Lanza immediately shouted.

“All beginner mages, retreat to Mr. Smith’s side. Everyone else, follow me and fight back!”

As he spoke, he immediately gathered a dozen fireballs in his palm and shot them at the back of these mages to block the Cyclops’ advance and buy time for everyone to cast their spells.

The intermediate mages who were quickly following behind also used all their skills. Other than the common wind blades and fireballs, there were also spells such as ice spears. There were even a few mages in Rafax City who were proficient in the darkness attribute unleashing the sting of shadow that had almost killed Tim.

In an instant, the mages worked together and released nearly a hundred magic attacks! They charged towards the Cyclops.

Andrew, on the other hand, was frowning.

‘No wonder those mages who are more senior than me still want to ask me for advice.’

‘As expected, ordinary mages and I have completely different ideas. They only need to master a few commonly used spells to think of ways to advance.’

‘Only people like Nolan who have no hope of advancing would want to learn more spells.’

‘No wonder the quality of their magic power is so poor.’

He pondered, not panicking at all. On the other side, the Cyclops was in trouble. At first, he was hit by Lanza’s continuous fireballs and staggered back a few steps. Then, he was washed away by an almost endless torrent of spells and continued to stumble for a long time before he regained his composure.

“Good, it really works! Maybe Mr. Smith doesn’t have to make a move!”

Lanza was overjoyed, but the next second, the scene made him dumbfounded. After the Cyclops was pushed back, he roared angrily. His gray-white skin was wrapped in a layer of dark light. Then, the spell effects of mages were greatly weakened by the dark light.

The Cyclops withstood the bombardment of the spell and walked forward. Soon, it arrived in front of Lanza, who was standing at the front.

“Oh my God, we can’t stop it! If we don’t retreat, we’re dead!”

A young female mage behind Lanza shouted anxiously. Her pretty face was twisted with nervousness.

“Retreat from its attack range first!”

Lanza could only shout helplessly, the Cyclops’ oppressiveness was so strong that he felt like he was about to choke.

The group of mages continued to fire as they retreated. However, they realized that the Cyclops did not attack.

“No! No!”

Lanza shouted, but the sound of the spell explosion drowned out his cries! A strange blue light flashed in the Cyclops’ huge eye. This was the magical beast’s native spell, petrifying eye!
