“Go, Bubble”
“Yes! I’ve been waiting for this, Leader!”
Mini Bubble Guh
“Oh-oh-oh, it’s finally time! Here I comeeeeee!”
As she announced her arrival, a white radiance burst fro e Tower’s spell casters were at their li? Hurry! We can’t hold on any battle ax and struck back at the mercenaries He wore a white unifor from his outfit, one would think that it was just a plain, defenseless attire However, the faintly-glowing silver ic shi+eld enveloping him was much sturdier than ordinary ar behind hi the defensive barrier, shook his head
“I don’t think they’ll arrive in time, Richard We’ve already fallen behind and maybe the other teams have arrived at the destination Under such circumstances, they wouldn’t possibly turn back and rescue us even if they see our signal Everyone knohat a terrifying place the Enchanted Forest is!”
“damn it!”
Richard sputtered This was a disaster In fact, they were apprentices of the Mage Toho only came here for a test that would determine their fate in life But never did they expect their luck to be this horrible, to roup of ‘hunters’ also appeared to be heavily laden with captured elves
Richard had no intention of stirring up trouble at all After all, they were here for their future In the coe Tower, there was no room for failure and as soon as they fell behind, they couldn’t catch up at all This hen they roup of mercenaries, they acted cautiously and kept a low profile But apparently, the ers’ nicely Not only did they criticize the apprentices, but they also teased the young ladies a the pitiful elves…
The apprentices were a group of lively and righteous youngsters and it ithout saying that they couldn’t stand idly by and watch the mercenaries abuse the elves In the end, both sides broke out in a battle But… Things were out of their expectations They thought that they, as the elites of the Mage Tower, could take down the poorly-dressed mercenaries by close-combat or spells To their surprise, the est apprentices in their teaer
But as the purpose of this?
Richard gnashed his teeth, swinging the blazing battle ax in his hands Even though their reactions as elites saved their lives from the quick attacks by the ravely injured or had lost the strength to fight
, the more problems ill face</eer had the strength to defend against thespells than the mercenaries—and successfully kept them away—but there was still a limit, after all Spell casters were also humans and couldn’t possibly cast infinite spells to resist their enemies The only option noas to seize an opportunity for a counter-attack and quickly escape
Richard was no longer in the mood to consider ould happen to them later on First and foremost, they had to overcome this obstacle and their corpses would definitely be devoured by the monsters if they failed! He clutched his weapon and made his decision
“Samuel, Vinnie, Nila—coordinate with Ray and I to release the exploding flame spell! Hope, Fabian—set up a rune trap ahead and stop their retreat Now! Attack!”
Richard raised his battle ax and in an instant, the flames on his weapon erupted into a flame tornado that blasted the mercenaries before him The mercenaries took a few steps back swiftly to avoid the scorching ah they were experienced in battles, they weren’t spell casters, after all They were afraid at the sight of the fla beside Richard lifted his scarlet sword and slashed forward, releasing a dozen es behind them raised their staffs and chanted in unison All of a sudden, the blazing tornado transforical ritual that burst in a series of explosions, enfolding the mercenaries in thick billows of black smoke
“A bunch of useless trash!+”
The roup of mercenaries snorted Then, he raised his arm…
“Hurry! Leave this place now!”
As the thick smoke and flames concealed the vision of thehis unconscious coroup hurriedly supported their fallen comrades and also fled toward the back At this th to deal with another battle anymore Their only hope left was to leave this place and escape into the forest to avoid the mercenaries
“———!”
But at this ales instantly dispersed the flalowing rune traps used to obstruct the mercenaries’ retreat also vanished coh the periphery and sealed off the only way of retreat for the spell casters
“How is this possible…!”
The spell casters turned ashen at this scene They knehat this meant For one to chant a spell in such a duration and also e in the Legendary Stage a the enemies!
