Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 316 Strategy Shift
A sharp wind tore through the wall of fire, striking the invisible force field from below.

This is a combo that Yaro had prepared in advance.

If the enemy has no means of defense, then the flames accumulated by the Lava Eye will be enough to burn her to ashes.

She has a means of defense.

Only a shield with a wide coverage area and heat insulation properties can withstand flames without any gaps.

Regardless of her defensive methods, when she spreads out this protective shield, the defensive capability per unit area will inevitably decrease.

Unless one can achieve an overwhelming power at the energy level, no defense can be perfect.

With the enhancement of the magic spell and the roar of the Fiery Greatsword, the invisible force shield suddenly collapsed and disappeared like a burst balloon, and the flames, now unimpeded, surged toward the crack.

The girl remained calm, smiling as she spoke through the flames: "How can you be sure that what you see is real?"

The blade pierced through her body without mercy, encountering no resistance whatsoever, as if it were merely slicing through the moon's reflection in the water, creating a brief ripple before returning to calm.

"phantom?"

Yaro, whose attack missed its mark, narrowed his eyes and focused all his attention on running forward in his cat-like fist form, sensing any movement around him.

Where will her attack begin?

Yaro, who had sheathed his sword and returned to defense, waited for a moment but did not encounter any attack.

The girl, on the other hand, continued to chatter on and on:

"So you're the one who killed Viscount Edmund? Your strength is indeed astonishing, but your methods are too sluggish. Are you really a wizard? I don't think so. You seem more like a formal knight with some extraordinary power."

The lady's words do make some sense.

Yaro's actual contact with wizards was relatively short, and he spent most of his time improving his own professional level.

The secondary time was also spent preparing some immediate combat capabilities.

There are indeed too many flaws in the methods and spells of wizards.

But now is not the time to consider these issues.

Yaro could clearly sense that the effects of the medicine in his body were rapidly fading.

"She wants to control my body!"

Although Yaro discovered the problem, he didn't even know where the enemy was located.

Logically speaking, this corridor is only this wide, so where could the enemy hide?
Or is this really a stairwell?

This is a race against time, but how exactly can we break through the current predicament?

"I may not have many spells, but I'm strong in combat!"

Edmund was merely a viscount-level Blood Bat, yet the girl praised him as having considerable strength, suggesting that the girl's combat power was not high.

We must not fall into the enemy's rhythm; we must play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, and use our overwhelming advantages to overcome the enemy's vulnerabilities.

You won't fight me?

Trying to play dirty tricks on me?
The Instantaneous Movement Technique created a platform for stepping on, the strange magical runes constructed by the Magic Strike Technique glowed faintly, and the Fiery Greatsword roared continuously.

Just then, the leg muscles that were supposed to help with the exertion suddenly started to twitch uncontrollably.

"You want to control my body and stop me from making a move?"

A sharp glint flashed in Yaro's eyes.

Because the body cannot withstand the full power of a perfect Magic Strike, the Magic Strike's power has been weakened multiple times.

In other words, when the Magic Strikes are activated, Aro's physical strength is negligible compared to the Magic Strikes.

This level of influence was not enough to stop Yaro from making a move.

"Magic Strike Technique - Phoenix Spreads Its Feathers!"

Due to uncontrollable muscle spasms, his body moved in the opposite direction to the armor, and the conflict between the two sent waves of intense pain shooting through him, causing the veins on Yaro's forehead to throb uncontrollably. Yet, his movements remained swift!
bump!
The immense force flattened the protruding clods of earth and crushed the bluestone steps beneath their feet.

Hold the sword horizontally with the blade facing forward.

"Chirp—!"

In the dimly lit corridor, a piercing phoenix cry suddenly erupted!

"Magic Strike Technique - Phoenix Beak 'Modified'!"

Intense flames followed the rapidly spinning tip of the sword, forming a powerful fiery drill that filled the corridor.

The power of the abyss gathered and surged from his back, and the huge fiery drill swept through the dust, rampaging through the stone steps and causing them to crack layer by layer.

bass!
The smiling 'Lady' illusion was quickly dispersed by the intense energy, but it rushed all the way to the previous entrance, and Yaro was unable to attack any enemies.

The body's muscles twitched uncontrollably, completely ignoring the magically controlled armor.

The opposing movements of the two caused intense pain.

Despite the pain, Yaro's thoughts became even clearer.

"Since we cannot distinguish between what is real and what is fake around us, nor do we know the location of the enemy, we must change our strategy."

What is the main objective of this operation?
Could it be that they killed the so-called lady?
Of course not!

The purpose of killing 'Madam' was to eliminate any potential threats.

The real main goal is to rescue the white deer.

In line with this goal, rescuing the Pokémon must be put on hold!

Having clarified the main objective of the operation, Yaro disregarded everything else and rushed straight towards the bright exit.

After quickly glancing around, Yaro's worries eased slightly.

"Fortunately, it is indeed the real hall, and everything around it is the same as before."

Not only do they look the same, but the way they use their cat-like fists to move around and sense everything around them, and even the ground tremors that no one else can detect, are all the same as before.

At this moment, the remaining guards remained motionless, standing watch around the white deer.

Yaro rushed forward quickly, and the guards, spurred on, were about to draw their swords to retaliate.

However, even a normal guard like Yaro is not afraid, let alone the current guard who is so stiff that he is like a puppet.

Too lazy to bother with it, the strange magical runes wrapped around his armor flickered slightly, and Yaro moved with lightning speed, quickly weaving through the guards, grabbing the white deer, and immediately fleeing.

"Stop! Stop!"

The 'Madam's' furious voice finally came from the stairwell.

It seems she was indeed hiding there before, but it's unclear exactly where the attack took place.

Why would Yaro heed these cries?
The discomfort in his body intensified, but Yaro's movements did not stop for a moment due to the restraint of the armor.

Rushing out of the hall, Yaro didn't have time to think and immediately pulled out a treasured card he had kept for a long time.

"Mother, help!"

Swish!
The pendant, kept close to the body, quickly activated, and thick streams of formal wizard magic rapidly enveloped the entire body.

Yaro's body soared into the sky and instantly disappeared into the dark night.

"This is……"

The girl, who had just rushed out of the stairwell, narrowed her eyes.

She seemed to recognize something.
