Chapter 41 No more fighting

Ronan’s body was stiff and his face was tight.

The effect of [Detection] has not completely worn off yet.

In his eyes, which were glowing white, the man with the bloody tattoo in front of him was as eye-catching and dazzling as a huge glowing light bulb.

“Senior…Apprentice”

Ronan uttered a few words with difficulty, “Black robe.”

Only the mental power released by a high-level wizard apprentice can produce such an effect under the [Detection Technique].

The man in black robe with tattoos all over his face listened to him, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and suddenly pointed at him. The sword and shield skeleton that almost killed Ronan with a single blow just now immediately received the order and strode towards him.

Ronan retreated without saying a word, and shouted at the gray-robed wizards behind him who were already stunned by the sudden change and still standing there without knowing how to move: “What are you standing there for? Why don’t you run?!”

The unlucky wizard who had been cut in half by the Sword and Shield Skeleton was not completely dead yet. Half of his body was lying on the ground, and he kept howling in pain.

The group of gray-robed men seemed to have just woken up from a dream. With a loud bang, they suddenly became a mess and fled in all directions.

The sword-shield skeleton chasing Ronan also quickly rushed into the crowd.
Ronan heard the screams coming from behind him, but he had no energy to pay attention to them. He could only frantically urge old Wells and the others to run away.

He wanted to repeat his old trick, but the moment he picked up Cheryl, his hair stood on end. He quickly threw Cheryl to the side and rolled forward.
“Oh!”

A ball of dark green light hit the place where Ronan had just stood. It didn’t make much noise, but the corrosive acid that was instantly formed caused a large area of ​​the ground to sink visibly.

If this happens to oneself.
Ronan gritted his teeth.

He had seen this spell of releasing corrosive acid in the hands of the two black-robed masters before.

But the power of the same spell released in the hands of a mid-level apprentice and a senior apprentice is very different.

Standing up quickly and walking through the chaotic crowd, Ronan looked at the man in black robe in the distance.

The latter’s mental power had been firmly locked on him. It was obvious that it was impossible for him to lead others to escape like before.

“You guys go quickly.”

Ronan took a deep breath, drew out the one-handed sword from his waist, and quickly recited the spell of [Charge Weapon].

He swept his fingers across the sword, and brilliant light clung to every inch of the long sword.

“I’ll hold him back.

Don’t worry about me, only if you leave will I have a chance to escape.”

Ronan said this and walked quickly towards the man in black robe with a cold expression.

The sword-and-shield skeletons slaughtered the scattered wizards wantonly, with many chants, the roar of spells and screams mixed together in a mess.

Ronan tried his best not to be affected by the many tragic situations on the field and forced himself to calm down.

He took out the two rings hidden around his waist. The black turquoise ring flashed, and a layer of light transparent light film enveloped Ronan’s body.

Intermediate protective magic ring.

Ronan picked up another fireball magic ring and raised his hand. A fireball appeared and shot quickly towards the man in black robe.

Faced with this low-level spell triggered by a magical tool, the latter had an indifferent expression and didn’t even bother to dodge.

“Oh!”

The fireball shot by Ronan exploded more than one meter in front of the black-robed man, and was blocked by a layer of black light curtain, burning only a few ripples.

“There are indeed protective measures.”

Ronan stared at the light curtain in front of the black-robed man, which was obviously much thicker than the energy protection shield on his body. It was most likely activated by a zero-level advanced spell or magical tool.

“The power of the half-step expert-level [Energy Missile] is comparable to that of a zero-level advanced spell, but if you want to be sure of breaking the zero-level advanced spell defense, you must use swordsmanship together.”

Ronan’s brain was working fast, his eyes flickering as he thought about the next tactic. He was now hoping that the expert-level [Energy Missile] would be able to break through smoothly after the next cast, so that he might have a chance to turn the tables and kill the enemy.

“hiss–“

Ronan took a deep breath and slowly began to speed up.

The body is fully activated at this moment, and the muscles of the whole body flow like mercury. The feet step on the soft ground, tense, and explode.
Ronan rushed out like a sharp arrow, and his violent momentum raised a long wave of earth behind him.

When he was halfway through the charge, he heard the whistling of a decaying wind in his ears.

Ronan saw a cold shadow coming from the corner of his eyes, and his body instinctively jumped forward.
“boom!”

The huge, rusty, bloody and flesh-stained sword slashed dangerously on the grass behind Ronan, blasting off a large pile of mud and leaving a deep gully.

Before Ronan could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw a man in a black robe not far away holding a gray staff with a black ball on the top and chanting a spell at him.

Ronan felt a palpitation for no reason, and his sharp mental power detected that a large number of energy particles were converging towards a certain position in front of him.

He glanced over and saw only a swollen corpse.
“boom!”

A violent explosion sounded, and in the huge blood mist that rose up in an instant, Ronan rushed out with his sword raised.

His robes rustled, his hair was covered with a thin layer of blood, and a film of light was oscillating around him.

I thought I had broken through all the obstacles and would be able to get in front of the man in black soon, but I never thought that this was just the beginning.

Fresh corpses were pulled towards him by invisible forces, swelling like balloons, and followed by sword-and-shield skeletons with green fire burning in their eyes.
At this moment, Ronan was almost in despair.

The urge to escape was stronger than ever before.

Is this the strength of the black-robed wizard, a senior apprentice who is good at fighting?
This is really too scary and difficult to deal with.

“Boom boom boom!”

The swollen corpses exploded one after another, and red air waves suddenly stirred up a strong wind, and Ronan’s figure was submerged in blood.

The sword-shield skeleton, waiting for an opportunity, seized the critical point of the explosion and slashed hard towards the center of the blood mist.
“Ronan!”

Someone screamed and called Ronan’s name.

The chaotic scene seemed to suddenly become quiet for a moment.

Many people’s eyes involuntarily looked towards the location where the blood mist erupted.

When the wind blew away the large area of ​​blood, the scene inside finally emerged clearly——

Ronan held the sword in both hands, half-knelt on the ground, and resisted the downward force of the rotten long sword in the hands of the sword and shield skeleton.

His face looked slightly grim, and the protective light film around his body had long disappeared. His long chestnut hair was wet with sweat or blood, and stuck to his forehead in clumps.

“Kacha kacha——”

The one-handed sword covered with flowing light in his hand made a sound of being unable to bear the weight. Obvious cracks had appeared on the sword and were constantly expanding.

Ronan gritted his teeth and fiercely lifted up the sword that was on the verge of breaking.

The moment the long sword completely broke and exploded into a ball of light, he let it go. At the same time, he uttered the syllables of the spell, summoning a huge blue-black ball of light, and threw it at the sword-shield skeleton in front of him.
“Boom!”

The energy ball exploded, and with a huge explosion, Ronan flew back on the spreading air waves, and the firmness, determination and eagerness on his face that he had at the beginning were no longer there.

“No fight, no fight.”

“I am just a fifth-level apprentice, and a wandering student. I must be crazy to do something so outrageous. How could I dare to challenge a high-level apprentice-level black-robed wizard?!”

After several rounds of fighting with the man in black robe, Ronan was in a miserable state, narrowly escaped death, and was completely awakened.

Now all that’s left in my body is the desire to survive.
