Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 53 Bloody Indifference in the Alley
The two men hurried into the alley, pretending to be looking for something, but in fact they were carefully setting up the battlefield.

Sure enough, a moment later, four figures appeared at the entrance of the alley, fanning out and blocking the only exit.

The moonlight shone from behind them, casting four hideous black shadows on the ground, slowly extending towards Ron and Andre.

"Looks like we're lucky today." The leading orc growled, his voice as harsh as a saw scraping across sheet metal. "Two plump little lambs walked into a wolf's den."

It opened its bloody mouth, revealing a row of fangs as sharp as knives. "I heard you have a lot of good stuff. Hand it over, and maybe I can buy you a chance to live."

"We are just ordinary travelers passing through."

The hooded boy was a little frightened, his voice even trembling slightly, but his feet were closing the distance without leaving a trace:

"We don't have anything valuable on us, please let us go."

The three orcs laughed, their laughter full of mockery and cruelty.

The goblin hid at the back, his greedy eyes fixed on Ron's waist bag, his tongue unconsciously licking his lips, as if he had already seen the magic stone fragments inside.

"Don't pretend, boy," the Orc leader said rudely, striding forward.

"We have been watching you for a long time and know that you have spent a lot of money today. Now, hand over your wallet obediently, otherwise..."

It showed a ferocious battle axe that shone with a cold light, with dried blood still lingering on the blade: "Otherwise I will chop you into minced meat!"

"Are you ready?" Ron whispered to Andre. The frightened expression on his face had disappeared, replaced by a calmness that was almost cold.

Andre gripped the dagger tightly and nodded slightly: "Although I don't know what your plan is, I will cooperate with you."

"You are responsible for holding the one on the left, and I will take care of the others."

Ron made the arrangements simply, while quietly slipping a small bottle of agility potion into Andre's hand. "If the situation is critical, drink this, it will increase your speed."

The orcs had lost their patience. With a roar from their leader, three huge monsters rushed towards the two men at the same time. Their huge bodies looked particularly ferocious in the narrow alley.

Seeing the three orcs actively invading the range of his mental influence, Ron's eyes began to emit a strange cold light.

Mental power exploded instantly, forming an invisible ripple that spread outward.

——Mental interference!
This is the basic ability for novice apprentices. It has limited effect on apprentices of the same level, but it is undoubtedly effective for these orcs who rely on instinct to fight.

The invisible spiritual fluctuations were like a gust of wind, sweeping across the entire alley in an instant.

The three orcs' movements suddenly became slow, and a trace of confusion flashed in their eyes, as if they had been hit on the head with a stick.

They shook their heads, trying to dispel the sense of confusion that invaded their minds, but to no avail.

"Take advantage of now!" Ron shouted, and at the same time his mental power turned into a spiral energy structure.

——Sonic vibration

Ripples that were invisible to the naked eye shot out from his palm, silently penetrating the air and directly hitting the orc leader.

An invisible force was tearing its body apart from within. An expression of extreme pain appeared on the face of the orc leader, and dark red blood oozed from his mouth and nose.

"call out……"

A flash of sword light passed by, and Ron crossed paths with the Orc leader. The ironwood sword with the "sharp" attribute easily cut open his vital neck.

After receiving the fatal blow, the orc let go of the battle axe, grabbed his throat with his hands weakly, and made a twisted gurgling sound.

Then, this huge monster that was more than two meters tall fell heavily to the ground, twitched a few times and stopped moving.

[One fatal strike! Basic Swordsmanship EXP +2] Meanwhile, Andre didn't waste the opportunity Ron created.

He rushed towards the orc on the left like a flash of lightning, and his dagger drew a cold light in the air and pierced the opponent's throat.

Although the orc's skin was tough, its reaction was obviously slow due to the mental interference, and it failed to completely avoid the fatal blow.

The sharp dagger slashed across its neck, drawing a stream of blood.

The orc uttered a wail and stumbled back, but did not fall.

These alien races have extremely strong vitality and can continue to fight even if they are seriously injured.

The third orc had recovered from the influence of the mental interference. He roared and rushed towards Ron, waving his huge axe.

Ron was not in a hurry. He raised his hand again and concentrated his mental power.

Another invisible ripple shot out, this time hitting the third orc directly in the chest.

The effect was exactly the same as before—the huge body suddenly stiffened, then fell heavily to the ground, rolling in pain on the ground, and a beast-like roar came from its throat.

Both orcs have fallen, and the situation has completely reversed.

The last one, though wounded, was still struggling, swinging his battle axe and charging at Andre.

Andre was agile and dodged left and right in the narrow alley, barely avoiding the deadly blows.

Seeing his companions fall one after another, the goblin hiding at the end finally realized that something was wrong and turned around to escape.

"Don't let it..." Andre was about to shout a warning while dodging the orcs' attacks.

But before he could finish his words, Ron smiled coldly and his mental strength quickly gathered again. This time he chose a more stable spell construction to ensure that he could kill with one blow.

The third ripple shot out from his palm, crossed the space at an astonishing speed, and accurately hit the back of the fleeing goblin.

The goblin's body twisted strangely in the air, then fell heavily to the ground and never got up again.

Unlike orcs, goblins' bodies were not as tough. This blow destroyed their internal organs completely, leaving them no chance to even turn over and struggle.

Seeing his companions fall one after another, the last orc also lost his will to fight.

It stared at Ron in fear, its eyes full of disbelief. It obviously couldn't understand how a seemingly weak human boy could possess such terrifying power.

"Wizard" seemed to be frightened. It dropped its battle axe and turned to run away.

"Hmph!" Ron flew forward and threw the ironwood sword in his hand, accurately hitting the orc's unprotected waist and abdomen.

The huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and Andre went up and stabbed it twice, making it stop struggling completely.

In just a few tens of seconds, three tall and fierce orcs and a cunning goblin all fell down, while Ron and Andre were almost unharmed.

This battle, which should have been full of dangers, turned into a one-sided massacre in the face of the wizard apprentice's terrifying mental attack.

"Is this the power of becoming an apprentice?" Andre panted, his eyes filled with awe.
"I used all my strength to barely defeat one, but you took only a few breaths to knock down two orcs and a goblin..."

Ron didn't answer immediately, but walked over to the goblin's body to examine it.

This feeling is very strange. Even if one consciously accepts the law of the jungle, this kind of indifference to the bloodshed in front of one's eyes is like losing basic empathy.

"You can ignore killing, but you cannot ignore life..." He silently warned himself in his heart while searching for the spoils.
