I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 39: Eternal disaster
This silver pocket watch was originally a magical item that could freeze time. When it was intact, it could allow a wizard to calmly complete many tasks in 3 seconds.

Now it was damaged, and Roland had used the Dawn Fire and the Electric Arc to forge it, so its effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Now it could only slow down the passage of time, and the duration was less than half a second. But for Roland, this half a second was enough.

With the power of the silver pocket watch, Roland leaped into the air and avoided the third shadow.

——“Where are you escaping to!”

Suddenly, Roland saw the bluestone ground beneath his feet suddenly crack open like a mouth, and then a tongue stretched out from the crack and rolled towards Roland.

It turned out that the demon had already calculated all of this. It was very familiar with the strange objects in the hall and knew what Roland would do.

It released three black lights just to force Roland to use the silver pocket watch. The three black lights had different purposes, luring Roland to hide near the trap - and this big mouth on the ground was the trap it had prepared for Roland.

Seeing the tongue already stretched out in front of him, Roland's eyebrows raised. At this moment, he held the long sword at his waist, and there was an incomparable sense of tranquility in his heart.

He drew the sword, thrust it out, and sheathed it in one go, and in an instant, the tongue was cut into two pieces.

This simple sword-drawing technique seemed to have been practiced by Roland thousands of times, and had already become muscle memory!
——"Great Wilmick. Dawn Sword Technique?"

Seeing this sword, the demon couldn't help but roared, "What's a sixteen-year-old low-level wizard apprentice doing, practicing swordsmanship to this level?! Have you been practicing swordsmanship since you were in your mother's womb?!"

Roland did not answer. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the blond freshman and the demon in his belly in the distance, secretly shocked.

The blond newborn had been burned to charred bones by the flames and lightning, deader than dead. But the demon in his belly was completely unscathed in the disaster.

Magic immunity!

This old guy is actually immune to magic!

It clearly didn't need to dodge any of his moves, but it kept using strange objects to resist his magic!

"This is simply not something a low-level apprentice can handle!"

Roland's expression grew more serious. He looked at the demon in front of him, reached for the hilt of the sword at his waist, and made the opening move of the 'Valeria Flash Sword (Dawn Sword Technique)'.

"Stop it, Roland."

The demon said seriously, "There's no need for us to waste time here. You want to survive, and I want to survive too. You don't want to be eaten by that thing outside, and I don't want to be eaten by it either. So, why should we fight here?"

Roland frowned and said, "Do you know how to leave here?"

The demon laughed and said, "The seal is gone. The exit here is just covered up. How difficult is it to leave here? Those who came to deal with me had already thought about how to leave before entering here. Therefore, after their death, there are still many scrolls of escape from different planes left behind."

Roland's expression changed, and he said, "Are you serious?"

The demon sneered, reached into its chest, took out a magic scroll, and threw it to Roland.

When the scroll was thrown into the air, Roland stretched out his hand, but instead of reaching out to catch it, he released a chain lightning towards the scroll!
The moment the lightning struck the scroll, it turned into a strange wizard's hat - it turned out that the devil threw out a strange object!
This wizard hat is also the masterpiece of a Black Abyss wizard. Not only can it disguise itself as various things, it can also capture people. Ordinary people simply don't have enough insight to see through its disguise, so it is very insidious. At this moment, the devil's face was very ugly.

If it was someone who wanted to escape, they would have definitely fallen into the trap. Because anyone who wanted to leave would not attack the magic scroll with chain lightning in order to avoid destroying it.

As long as you don't attack the scroll, it will be taken in by this strange object.

After the lightning hits the hat, it immediately chains to the demon.

The demon impatiently pinched the lightning with his fingers. At this moment, Roland, the wizard hat, and the demon were connected by a blue light that continued to shine.

In the light and shadow, the devil said in a deep voice: "Since you don't want to leave, then..."

Before he finished speaking, the devil saw the blue lightning in his hand suddenly turned golden!
The demon's face was filled with horror. Before it could say anything, it suddenly burst into flames like straw. It and the blond corpse were reduced to ashes in an instant, without even a scream.

Looking at the ashes on the ground, Roland stood there in a daze for a long time. It was not until the wizard's hat in mid-air fell to the ground with a "pop" that he came back to his senses.

The wizard hat did not suck Roland in, because the demon was truly dead this time.

The two had been testing each other for so long, and when it came to deciding the winner, it was all in a single move.

The devil may have many more methods and tricks, but just because of a slight carelessness, he no longer has the chance to use them.

Roland held the wizard hat on his head and stood beside its ashes, sighing for a long time.

The arrogant demon was burned to ashes by a novice just because of his carelessness.

The same goes for Wallace.

This old fox must have many unknown tricks hidden, but just because of a moment of carelessness, he was shot in the head by a rookie like the blond freshman!

"Brother Wallace, you died saving me and it was not in vain. I completed my mission."

After coming to his senses, Roland took out a broken stick from his dimensional bag and began to search in the ashes. He found a small lantern, a strange gray gem, an unremarkable gray wand, and three burnt bags.

In addition, there were some severely corroded fragments of strange objects, which were the remnants that the demon had swallowed but not completely digested.

Roland picked up the three small bags and found that each one had the Black Abyss's emblem and name on it.

The first one had a bag with 'Claire' written on it (the blonde freshman).

The second bag had 'Carl' (the red-haired freshman) written on it.

The third bag was Wallace's.
