I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 13 Show off your power
Breathe. (Roland takes a breath secretly)
Suddenly, a slight and strange sound was heard in the quiet house.

Anna suddenly pricked up her pointed ears, sniffed the air hurriedly, and then dropped silently from the beam to the ground.

She searched the room but couldn't find anyone. Finally, she followed the smell to the mat on the floor where Roland slept, and then rubbed and rolled on it like a cat.

There were several shirts that Roland had worn on the floor. When Miss Anna found these clothes, she sniffed them for a long time.

It was like a cat finding mint, and she put the whole shirt on her face!

At this moment, Roland happened to be quietly raising his head to breathe in the bucket. When he saw Anna's actions, his face became extremely ugly.

At midnight, an elegant lady quietly came to your room.

Then, she lies on your bed, takes your clothes and sniffs them fiercely. Although this seems strange, it is not creepy if the lady is beautiful.

But what if this lady is more than three meters tall and weighs half a ton?

Anna suddenly turned her head and looked behind the tub. She slowly crawled to the edge of the tub and stuck out her tongue to drink water like a cat. It seemed she was thirsty.

Originally, Anna would not drink any more water after a while, but because bubbles were slowly coming out of Roland's mouth, Anna started licking those bubbles again, and she became more and more happy.

After two minutes, more and more bubbles appeared in the water, and she licked it with increasing joy, until finally, the bubbles gurgled out and she stopped licking.

Anna raised her head and looked at the water, a cruel and playful smile slowly appearing on the corners of her mouth.

She did it on purpose. She knew there was a little mouse in the water! She was playing with her prey!
With a puff, Roland's tiny head suddenly emerged from the water, gasping for air. Anna looked at the delicate little mouse, her smile becoming even more sinister.

She licked her lips, anticipating the mouse's reaction, as if to enjoy an appetizer of Roland's impending fear and despair.

【Roland used Mind Blast.】

[Proficiency +1]

At this moment, Anna suddenly realized that Roland's eyes were completely black. As she was surprised, an uncontrollable fear rose from her tailbone to the top of her head.

In an instant, Anna felt the world in front of her eyes begin to spin.

In just a short moment, her skin changed from light blue to dark green, and then to pale white.

Mind blast is not a fear technique at all. Its essence is to pull the human spirit into the lower world to witness the unspeakable.

At this moment, Anna saw what Roland saw, but her SAN value was far from as high as Roland's, and she was still able to remain rational after seeing those things.

With a thud, Anna collapsed to the ground, sweating profusely. From her dilated pupils, it could be seen that her spirit seemed to have completely collapsed.

She was muttering to herself, crying and laughing like a madman, and it was obvious that she had fallen into the abyss of the lower world and could not extricate herself.

Roland didn't expect the effect of the mind blast to be so powerful. He thought Anna would be just like he was at the beginning, sweating all over and out of breath, but he didn't expect her pupils to dilate.

There was a sound of running water, and Anna peed all over the floor while crying - she was incontinent.

She saw God, the real God. She kept murmuring, describing everything she said she saw: "Kelp, we are all kelp!!"

Roland didn't know what Anna was talking about, but he knew that this guy was talking nonsense!

His expression changed, and then he rushed to the bedside and pulled out a sword with a cold glow from under the bed. Then, he flashed over and was about to execute Anna.

"Today either you die or I die!"

In that split second, a sacred flame inexplicably ignited within Anna's body. Then, like a kitten with its tail on fire, Anna burst through the wooden door with a cry.

Roland slashed the air with his sword, only cutting off a strand of Anna's hair. He looked at the back of the figure rushing into the night, and his expression became extremely wonderful.

It seems that Roland not only comprehended the Mind Blast, but also the Fire of Dawn.

The Fire of Dawn had a characteristic: if the seal was not intentionally restrained, it would be attached to every spell Roland used. Since Roland was not familiar with the Fire of Dawn, when he cast Mind Blast, the seal of the Fire of Dawn was attached to Mind Blast.

Judging from what had just happened, the Mind Blast seemed to be extremely effective against Anna. Her mind was already extremely chaotic, and the Mind Blast, a spiritual magic from the lower world, was a deadly blow to her. So after being hit by it, she collapsed and fell into the abyss of the lower world.

Originally, her consciousness could not escape from the abyss of the lower world in a short period of time. However, the fire of dawn pulled her back from the dark abyss.

Roland thought to himself, "Even though she's awake, the aura of the lower world will still haunt her. She'll be in a state of panic for a while. If I escape now..."

Roland's expression changed for a long time, but he ultimately chose not to step out of the cabin.

He first moved the cabinet in front of the broken wooden door to block the gap. Then, he opened a clam, swallowed a fruit, and sat on the bed to recover his magic power.

The mermaid potion was very effective in restoring magic power. Within a few minutes, the low-level apprentice's magic power was fully restored.

Roland immediately got out of bed and headed for the door. On the way, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine and turned back to look at the window.

Outside, Anna cautiously hid by the window, her eyes filled with malice as she glared at Roland. Catching Roland's gaze, Anna's eyes flashed with terror, and she hurried away. Logically, even though Anna's consciousness had escaped the lower world, she should have remained in a state of extreme terror for a considerable period. She shouldn't have regained her composure within a few minutes and risked another visit to Roland. However, the Dawn Fire seemed to not only inflict damage but also dispel darkness, restoring sanity.

Fortunately, Roland didn't run away immediately, otherwise he would be dead.

Roland was secretly afraid. He thought to himself, "The mind blast must still be effective on Anna. If I can give her another one, she will definitely collapse to the ground. If she dares to show herself, I can subdue her."

'But only if I spot her first, not if she spots me first.'

Anna's stealth ability has been maxed out. If they encounter Roland in the wild, Anna will definitely be the first to discover him.

But things were different in the cabin. Anna's size meant she could only enter through the door, so as long as Roland set up some obstacles in front of the door, then if they encountered her in the cabin, Roland would definitely find Anna first.

In other words, if Roland fought in the wild, he would surely die. But if he fought in the hut, he would have a certain chance of winning. Therefore, he could not leave the hut.

Roland suddenly discovered a despairing fact—he couldn't escape tonight!

What if the mentor came back and found that I had advanced? Thinking of this, Roland sat dejectedly in the chair and rubbed his forehead.

Roland really hoped that Anna could overcome her fear and muster up the courage to rush in and challenge him, rather than waiting outside for him to leave.

However, judging from Anna's behavior, she seemed to be deeply traumatized by the cottage and dared not come in again.

Now, both of them knew that whoever entered the other's territory first would be doomed.

Anna would never enter the cabin, and Roland would never leave.

Roland sighed deeply, changed into dry clothes, and hid the three remaining fruits on the flowerpot in his arms.

The herbs in the flowerpot had withered and rotted, as if they had been watered with wine and were rotten.

If the fruit did not really exist, Roland would probably have regarded the ripening of the herbs as an illusion.

Ignoring the herb, Roland sat in his chair in a daze.

Anna had just broken through the door, and the damage to the cabin would have triggered an early warning. Therefore, the instructor must have known about it.

I'm afraid she will be back soon.

Roland was thinking about something.

"An outstanding apprentice, caught between life and death, suddenly broke through a bottleneck, comprehended a gifted magic, and repelled a powerful monster. This is reasonable, right?"

"I think it's quite reasonable."
"But will the instructor believe it?"

Roland's expression suddenly turned very ugly.

The mentor might believe it, or he might not, but he couldn't afford to take the risk.

Next, in order to lure Anna into the cabin, Roland tried many methods - pretending to be meditating intently, pretending to clean the house, and lying on the bed pretending to sleep.

However, Miss Anna's most radical move was to quietly go to the window and peek at Roland - she didn't even dare to enter the house, let alone look at him.

Finally, Roland even ran to the yard, turned his back to the deep forest, and did a set of gymnastics.

But this little kitten was completely frightened.

She gritted her teeth and hid under a big tree, staring at Roland cautiously with a look of humiliation, unwillingness, and greed.

It was not until Roland finished his gymnastics and glanced in her direction that she shuddered and ran away in panic.

Watching Anna's back walk away, Roland couldn't help but ask himself, "If I had just left the cabin and stayed away from this place, would she have dared not attack me on the road?"

"Alas, there's no point in dwelling on this issue now."

Roland thought to himself, "If she doesn't have the courage to do it, she'll just lose a meal. But I'll lose my life. I can't afford to gamble."
'Besides, the mentor has returned now.'

Roland looked towards the path deep in the forest. There, his mentor appeared.

The instructor's face was very gloomy. It was unclear whether she was furious because of Anna's disturbance last night or because of Roland's plan to escape.

Anna felt guilty, just like a kitten that had done something bad. When she saw her owner coming, she ran away in a panic.

Roland also wanted to run, but he couldn't.

"Ugh."
