I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 373: Abyssal Insect Swarm! Fierce Battle!
The little witch rode on a big staff and covered her hat as she caught up. She chased Roland wildly and shouted in the wind, "Aha! I see! You want to 'fly a train and fly a kite', right?"
They were right, this isn't the first time you've done this!

Slow down, slow down, if you fly too fast, the monsters won’t be able to see you!
Also, don't fly in this direction! Tukara's lair is in that direction!"

Roland didn't know what this Tukara was, but he thought it was a more formidable Abyssal creature. Maybe even an Abyssal Angel!
He couldn't help but stop and looked around with a grim expression.

Which direction should I run in to get rid of these things?

At this moment, the little witch behind him waved her hand towards Roland, and then a beam of light fell from the sky and shone on Roland.

This beam of light doesn't have any special function, it's just a super spotlight that makes people stand out.

Suddenly, Roland became the brightest guy in the world!
Roland looked at the little witch flying behind him with a puzzled look on his face.

The little witch flew over, clutching her hat, and panted, "Okay, okay, with this here, the monsters won't run around."

Roland's eyes went dark when he heard this.

It turned out that the little witch had marked Roland! When the monsters saw the light, they would chase Roland desperately.

This divine light actually contained a hint of divinity. It was obvious that the little witch was using a cheat.

If you don't reach the god level, it will be difficult to dispel it.

However, although it is very powerful, its structure is very simple.

So after Roland took a look, he showed a look of sudden realization.

Several blasphemous spells appeared in his mind, all of which could destroy the divinity in the divine light.

Roland thought to himself, "It seems that the magic of the Eastern Territory is very effective against the divine arts of the Southern Gods!"

Just as Roland was about to get rid of this 'mark', the little witch flew over.

The little witch said, "Do your best!
The materials the church needs are all in their lair. Over the years, they must have taken a lot out of the 'Flame River'.

In consideration of your help, I have decided to agree to give you some after I clean them up."

Roland was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look at the little witch.

Not to mention building the 'Underworld Submarine', 'Fishing Boat', and 'Port', even completing the second phase of the Holy Church project would require a large amount of various materials.

Roland couldn't help but look at the 'red glow' in the distant sky - this river was enough.

That's right, we must find a way to take it all away. We can't leave it to the church!

The little witch said, "Although I agree to give it to you, the quantity cannot be too much. I have to throw most of it back into the Yan River. Otherwise, the garden will be affected."

The little witch gestured with two fingers and said, "That's all I can give you!"

Roland looked at the child in front of him and laughed.

After deciding to cooperate with this damn girl, Roland looked solemnly at the group of monsters rushing towards him from a distance.

There seemed to be more of them than before.

The sky in the three distant directions was dark and gloomy. The monsters in the sky blocked out the sun, and Roland couldn't tell how many there were.

The little girl said, "Oh, don't be so nervous, they are just 'mealworms'. You can fly so fast, there will be no problem."

Although Roland couldn't accurately assess the monster's strength from such a long distance, he could vaguely sense that it wasn't very strong.

But even if it is a group of 'mealworms', if they are surrounded by so many, even a god will fall.

However, just as that damn girl said, with Roland's speed, these monsters wouldn't be able to surround him.

Moreover, if we can gather these monsters in a small enough area, and then launch a nuclear bomb with sufficient yield, or a prison species with sufficient pollution and infectiousness.

Then, all those below the demigod level, no matter how many there are, will be reduced to ashes.

Roland couldn't help but look at the little girl beside him. The staff, clothes, hat, necklace, and jewelry were all holy objects.

Since this damned girl dared to speak so arrogantly, she must have some confidence. Apart from anything else, the holy objects on her body were terrifying enough.

As long as she could hold her breath and strike a big one after she had gathered all the monsters together, the rest would have escaped.

Roland said, "Do you know any stealth techniques?"

The little girl understood what he meant. She threw a prismatic crystal to Roland and said, "I was just about to tell you. I have to hide down there for a while. Otherwise, if I show myself, they'll be scared. We'll use this to communicate later."

Roland took the crystal and asked curiously, "Do you have the sacred object of Goddess Aurelie on you?"

It was obviously a very normal question, but the little girl became angry.

She said, "How many times do I have to tell you this? I'm not some incarnation or the Son of God. I'm the real God O'Leary! Why don't you believe me?"

Roland chuckled and said nothing.

This girl said she was the incarnation of God, and Roland believed her.

It’s nonsense to say that you are God.

Roland had seen many angels like this in the Holy Spirit Hospital, who had problems with their brains and couldn't tell who they were after descending.

Roland had even seen many Son of God, Incarnation, and so on in the archives.

This girl's condition is similar to Diana's.

Roland said, "If you are the god Aurelie, then I am Aurelie's parent!"

This made Miss Aurelie's nose twist in anger. These damned Protestants, each one claiming to be the Son of God, vying to be her godfather on earth.

Miss O'Reilly said, "Just wait! When I finish my work and return, I will bring down divine punishment!"

Roland chuckled and said, "When you're done, I'll recommend a good place for you."

O'Reilly blinked and asked, "Where?"

Roland looked at the wave of monsters approaching from a distance and said, "Wilmik Holy Spirit Hospital."

O'Reilly asked curiously, "Is there anything fun there?"

Roland was speechless. This guy didn't even know about the Holy Spirit Hospital.

"You'll find out when I take you there—hide well, and follow me!"

After saying that, Roland flew away.

The beam of light on his body, like a large spotlight, was very obvious, and this light seemed to have a strong attraction to this group of monsters.

As soon as he took off, the monster in the distance changed direction in the commotion and chased after him.

Roland flew for a while and observed the monsters. He felt that these things looked a bit like manta rays with a lot of whiskers growing on their tails.

He had thought they were some kind of sub-dragon, but they were very slow, not much faster than birds. This surprised Roland.

How could they hunt in the abyss at such speed? Just then, a large group of spindle-shaped "small fireballs" flew over from the distance. Roland couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Sure enough, there are such tricks!
There are so many things, if they get hit, you will be doomed.

Roland hurriedly increased his speed, and suddenly there was a loud bang around him, and a cloud of mist burst out.

In the blink of an eye, Roland shook off those 'fireballs'.

This surprised Roland greatly, as it seemed that these fireballs were also very slow.

Roland circled in the sky a few times at a distance. He had originally intended to keep his distance and lead them away, but as he flew, he discovered that the group of monsters were showing a tendency to disperse.

It seems that this group of monsters not only fly slowly, but also have poor vision and perception abilities.

This situation usually occurs with producers at the bottom of the food chain, such as the Abyss Blood Moth.

But 30% of these monsters have reached the first level, and they don’t look like producers at all.

This made Roland even more confused.

At this time, Roland found that the light column around him had become larger. It seemed that the damn girl saw that Roland was too far away from the group of monsters, so she strengthened the light column.

The monster tide suddenly rediscovered its target and gradually began to gather.

Roland hurriedly shouted to the crystal in his arms, "Don't make any moves! Hide it well!"

As he spoke, Roland closed the distance and circled around with the monsters.

Now the monsters had a target and attacked him one after another.

The 'fireball' formed a fiery cloud, and for a moment, the whole sky seemed to be burning.

However, most of them were directed at the light column. They seemed to regard the light column as an enemy.

In fact, only a small number of people in the front were really targeting Roland.

But they didn't need to aim carefully because there were so many stray bullets. Roland couldn't dodge them at all.

——No wonder that damn girl always asks Roland if he can take a beating.

In this situation, it was impossible for Roland to dodge all of them. He could only bite the bullet and take some of the "fireballs".

In fact, Roland had encountered a similar experience of being beaten up.

As early as when he was promoted to a formal wizard, he practiced in Straw Town for eight years.

At that time, he was facing a group of enemies who knew him best. Not only were they very cunning, but they also had many tricks up their sleeves. The difference in strength between the two sides was not that great.

In contrast, the enemy now resembled a mad beast. They possessed no cunning at all. Their tactics were extremely simple, and the gap in strength between the two sides was a vast one.

But Roland was under tremendous pressure.

Because the little girl's eyes were always on Roland, Roland couldn't use the wizards' strange methods.

Otherwise, he could just slip into the crowd and play with his enemies like a proper wizard dealing with a rural Muggle lord's militia.

The simplest way is to "switch form" with the monster leaders, hide in their shadows, and then leave a fake shadow in the original place.

Or simply become one of them, and leave an illusion there.

Judging from the intelligence of these monsters, their use of magic, and their mental perception, they simply cannot distinguish between truth and falsehood.

If you use wizardry, you can play with them all day long without any problem.

But now, Roland could only play around with them like a knight, trading injuries for injuries.

Roland fought hard with very bad intentions, but when the first wave of flames approached his holy clothes, they immediately went out.

Roland didn't expect his magic resistance to be so strong, nor did he expect the opponent's flames to be so weak. This surprised him greatly.

At this moment, there was a crackling sound from the armor, and then Roland felt a pain on his exposed face.

Roland felt as if he had been hit by a musket.

Immediately afterwards, Roland felt numb all over—that thing was highly poisonous!
After touching it, Roland found that his skin was rapidly festering. It seemed that this "poison" could decompose biomass at an extremely fast speed!
And not only on the face, but also those parts of the body that were clearly protected by armor were festering!

Roland quickly lit the holy fire, and suddenly his whole body was wrapped in the holy fire, and the uncomfortable feeling gradually disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, the ulcers on Roland's body healed on their own.

Fortunately, Roland's resistance was fully maxed out, and his physical strength was comparable to that of a sea monster. Otherwise, after being hit by such a wave, he would have rotted away and fallen to his death in no time.

It turned out that it wasn't a flame at all. It was some kind of self-igniting spike. It was unknown what material these spikes were made of, but they emitted a very strange radiation.

This radiation is like the power of the 'Mad Holy Angel', which can cause enemies that come into contact with it to rot rapidly.

I thought it was a magical attack, but it turned out to be a combination of magic, physical, and poison.

This group of abyssal species is very strange. I don't know whether to say they are strong or weak.

Speaking of being weak, if Roland flew a little faster, they wouldn't be able to hit him. Even with a little wizardry, he could still make them run around in circles.

Speaking of strength, these monsters' DoT damage values ​​were ridiculously high! Even with Roland's resistance, he was nearly knocked over after just a few hits.

Even if it is a dragon, a demigod-level dragon, it will die if attacked by this group of monsters!
He only thought for a moment, and after Roland was hit a few times, he immediately changed his strategy.

After the holy fire burned all over his body, the subsequent spikes that hit him actually passed through as if they had hit a ball of fire.

Looking closely, Roland's body seemed to have transformed into some kind of element, becoming a blazing man of light—the manifestation of the divine element!
In the Land of the End, Roland had personally seen his senior and another fire wizard transform into two elements and fly in the sky.

But Roland never used this trick.

He would transform himself into a semi-elemental form, allowing himself to fly short distances in the air like lightning.

After being hit a few times, Roland suddenly remembered the methods of real arcane wizards and elemental wizards, and began to assimilate himself into the holy elements.

He was covered in divine equipment, which made this task much easier. His equipment and body were transformed into light.

After that, Roland still felt pain when those strange spikes pierced his body, but there was no Dot damage.

Brush brush brush.
Suddenly, several pure white beams flashed in Roland's hands. The beams were as thick as fingers and hit the monster in front at an extremely fast speed.

These monsters at the front are the stronger ones in the monster tide.

The other monsters flew slowly, were weak, and their shots were also very slow. Roland only needed to increase his speed slightly to catch the flying thorns around him, just like a pilot catching a bullet.

Therefore, the threat to Roland is just this small group at the front.

They are relatively strong, and the things they shoot out are more than twice as fast as those of the monsters behind them!
Moreover, they have a strong desire to attack, and because they are so close, they can hit very accurately.

The most important thing is that this group of monsters has separated from the main force and will catch up with Roland in a while.
