Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 318 The Apprentice's Dilemma
"Didn't you ever think about... letting that blood bat reclaim its true blood?"

“I dare not,” Yaro replied calmly, as he put on the armor piece by piece.

"I don't know what other mysterious methods she has, and no one can guarantee that she won't use them to blackmail me after it's revealed that the fairy and I are connected."

The true blood is inside Bai Lu's body. Once Bai Lu gets close to her, she will definitely have a way to affect the true blood inside Bai Lu's body.

"I can't let her get away with this, because I can't guarantee that I can beat her in normal times."

If we don't dare to indulge her, we can't let her stay here.

"I cannot imprison her either, because I lack the means to do so."

Imprisonment is not an option, nor is it even acceptable to consider it as a backup plan.

"so--"

Yaro raised his gleaming, fire-sparkling greatsword.

"Letting her die is the best option!"

The spirit entity remained silent.

This may be the 'prisoner's dilemma' faced by many low-level wizards, or perhaps it could be called the 'apprentice's dilemma'?
When properly prepared, most wizard apprentices can unleash extraordinary combat power.

However, on ordinary days, many wizard apprentices have only average defensive capabilities.

The advantage of going first is too great. Once a conflict arises, no one can guarantee what the other side is thinking. Naturally, the only option left is a fight to the death.

Yaro, now clad in his golden armor, glanced back at the frail girl 'sleeping' in the carriage, then looked at the slightly gleaming, angular pendant on her chest. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I'll go ahead first. You stay here... be careful."

The pendant shimmered slightly: "Don't worry, I'm your life-saving pendant, dedicated to protecting you. On the contrary, without my protection, you mustn't fall into the same situation as before."

Yaro stood up and turned around, looking at the dazzling stars in the sky: "I was only wearing ordinary black armor just now, so I couldn't use the third level of magic."

A dense abyssal aura emanated from the surface of the golden armor.

"Even when I used the second level of magic, the space was too narrow at the time, and there was no room to dodge or dash."

The magical runes began to intertwine, condensing into strange, deep black feathers.

"And I was rushing up from the bottom of the stairwell, so gravity alone reduced much of my impact."

The phoenix poked its head out from behind Yaro, its wings spread wide, and its sharp, proud eyes suddenly opened.

"Without much movement, the Fiery Greatsword cannot obtain enough oxygen, and the flames it produces are relatively weak."

Tiny black lightning flashed within the pervasive black mist, and the layers of black mist swayed like flames, infusing the Black Flame Phoenix with life force.

"Chirp—!"

With a piercing, sharp cry, Yaro soared into the sky.

"Now... I won't give her any more chances!"

A cold wind howled, and the gleaming heavy sword began to roar.

The blade flashed, and bursts of intense flames erupted forth.

The dense abyssal power mixed with the air surged behind him, providing Yaro's body with super-fast acceleration and thus providing the Fiery Greatsword with ample oxygen.

The sphere at the center of the greatsword continuously spewed flames, and with the help of the strong wind, the fire grew larger and larger, gradually engulfing Yaro's entire body.

……

The front courtyard of the Viscount's mansion.

The guards were cleaning up the aftermath of the battle when a strange rumbling sound suddenly came from the sky.

"what is that?"

They looked up in astonishment.

Looking at the fireball that had turned the sky red, a somewhat knowledgeable guard hesitated and said, "Could it be... a meteorite?"

"Chirp—!"

A piercing sound tore through the sky.

The bright red sky grew brighter and brighter, and even gradually sank, revealing a strange protrusion of flame.

"Is this...is this a meteorite?" As the strange fireball in the sky drew closer, some sharp-eyed guards could even vaguely see the figure of a blurry warrior in the center of the flame's protrusion.

A moment later, even the slowest guards realized what was happening.

"Oh no! That strange thing looks like it's flying towards us!"

One of the guards panicked: "What do we do! What should we do?"

One of the guards said calmly, "It's too late to run. Everyone lie down and see who's unlucky! Or maybe all of us will be unlucky."

A few guards who knew many of the secrets remained calm, smiling as they said to those around them, "Excellent! This is divine punishment! Divine punishment has finally arrived!"

Another guard took a deep breath, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders, and said calmly, "Yes, I have been waiting for this moment for far too long!"

……

Amidst the commotion, the 'madam,' who had once again stepped out of the hall to observe the situation, had a glint of greed in her eyes. She screamed sharply:
"This move... there's no mistake! It's definitely him, this is definitely the person the organization is looking for!"

"The reward of a thousand magic stones is mine! I've found its location!"

When her mind was consumed by money, she neglected her own circumstances.

She stood at the entrance of the hall, enveloped by the beams of light emanating from it.

Like a single, beautiful rose blooming in the desert.

It was so beautiful, so—eye-catching!
The Divine Punishment Spear, which was sliding down from mid-air, seemed to be attracted by this stunningly beautiful face, and unconsciously shifted slightly.

"Magic Strike Technique - Black Flame Tremor Wings!"

A long black and red line trailed from the end of the Spear of Divine Punishment.

The fire spears were moving faster and faster, and the whistling sound was getting stronger and stronger.

"Blazing Sword Technique - Charged Flame!"

The Lava Eye, which had accumulated a massive amount of flames in the sky, unleashed all its firepower in an instant.

"Combo Skill - Demon Phoenix Annihilation!"

Boom!

The ground shattered, creating a deep crack, from which a blazing white pillar of fire shot into the sky, accompanied by raging winds and intense heat waves.

The vibrant 'desert rose' trembled and withered in the flames, merging with the white light and turning into nothingness.

Dang Dang Dang——!
The tiny stone fragments and spark-streaked sand, like sharp arrows, struck the leather armor and helmets of the surrounding guards, producing a series of crisp sounds.

Boom boom boom! !

Crash-!
The front of the hall was destroyed in one blow, and the remaining buildings could not withstand the violent impact and collapsed.

Flames filled the air, and thick white smoke billowed into the sky!

Gravel flew everywhere, and various metal utensils kept collapsing.

The magnificent curtains were lit by sparks and candlelight, and the exquisite statues collapsed and crumbled into dust.

The servants screamed in terror, the maids fled in panic, and the guards laughed maniacally...

A once bustling and prosperous scene was reduced to ruins and scorched earth in an instant!

How powerful is the Demon Phoenix that destroys the world?
At this moment, it proved its power!

According to calculations, 'Magic Strike - Black Flame Wings' is comparable to the combat power of a formal wizard.

Of course, to match the combat power of a formal wizard, one must also use the magic power of a formal wizard within the pendant.

Even though the Magic Strike Technique has reached the fourth level according to the system, relying solely on Aro's own magic power to use the third level might still be somewhat insufficient in terms of power.

However, the 'Demon Phoenix Annihilation' is a move specifically designed to target formal wizards!

Given enough time, the Eye of Lava can continuously store firepower until it reaches its limit.

The limits of the Lava Eye are fixed.

In other words, no matter what kind of magic Yaro uses to activate the Lava Eye, the final 'Destroying Phoenix' will not differ much in terms of the power of the flames, with only a slight difference in inertia.

What level of power can it ultimately reach?
Nicole can sink a ship with a single blow, and the perfect 'Demon Phoenix Annihilation' can achieve the same level!
