Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 105 Escorts and the Man in Black

Ronan was accompanied by the Moonless City duo behind him.

While clearing out the pterosaurs, they headed towards the main area of ​​the battlefield.

He wanted to blend naturally into the crowd with the two people behind him, so as not to attract the attention of that powerful spiritual force by standing too prominently.

With the sudden increase in the number of Pteranodons, the various groups are no longer able to clearly define their resistance zones as before.

Instead, they had to move closer to each other, shrinking the area of ​​resistance and concentrating their attacks and defenses on a single point.

Doing it this way is definitely much better than the previous disorganized state.

This also promoted cooperation among various groups.

Ronan led the duo, moving between different groups, and would aim an ice arrow at an unsuspecting pterosaur, often achieving a surprising victory at crucial moments.

The various groups suddenly felt much less pressure than before.

Some pterosaurs that cannot be attacked or resisted will suddenly die and turn into a giant block of ice.

After a few times, everyone noticed Ronan's figure.

Knowing that it was the last of the four strongest people to make a move, everyone couldn't help but feel joy and were optimistic about the current situation.

"Thank you, sir."

"Thank you, sir."

"Thanks for coming to my rescue!"

Although they didn't know Ronan's name, many people expressed their sincere gratitude for his timely help.

Some quick-thinking individuals had already quietly broken away from their original group and were cautiously following behind Ronan and his companions.

They used trapping magic to carefully restrain the attacking Flash-Eating Wyvern, allowing the apprentice, whose strength was subtly the highest among the four strongest, to deal with it.

Later on, this group basically formed a fixed partnership with Ronan, almost becoming a new organization.

However, since Ronan didn't speak, they all remained silent.

Ronan was not initially opposed to these people's actions.

But later on, as the number of people increased and everyone cooperated with him, he became particularly conspicuous.

This forced him to change his strategy, no longer moving between different groups, but instead occupying a less conspicuous side, using the voices of the crowd to hide his figure, and making his moves more discreet.

I'm afraid of being discovered by the owner of that powerful spiritual force from before.

However, his fears came true.

As the gap in the magic shield continued to widen, almost all the Flash-Eating Dragons outside had flown in, nearly surrounding the entire airship.

At this moment, a figure slowly emerged from the previously empty gap.

The figure was dressed in a black robe, with intricate, unknown patterns faintly visible on it. A wide hood covered his face, making it impossible to discern his features.

Without any apparent support, he simply hovered at the opening, quietly overlooking the battlefield below.

His powerful mental energy swept across the crowd, completely ignoring the apprentices, and he uttered a single voice: "Niru, come and die."

Some of the apprentices with stronger mental strength noticed this mental transmission and looked up.

But then they immediately got back into the fight with the Pteranodon, seemingly oblivious to what they had seen.

Seeing this, Ronan realized that without sufficient mental strength, he couldn't even detect the other party's presence.

Seeing that the flying boat remained motionless, the man in black robes let out a cold snort.

He spread his arms, his pale, skeletal hands clenching upwards, and two balls of ghostly blue flames appeared out of thin air.

Then, he forcibly fused the two flames together, merging them into a huge, dark blue fireball.

Ronan looked at the fireball and couldn't help but feel a chilling sense of crisis.

He was certain that if that fireball were to hit, the airship would explode and disintegrate in a very short time.

"If you don't make a sound, don't blame me for slaughtering all these sheep."

The man in black robes threatened menacingly.

At that moment, the flying boat suddenly responded.

Suddenly, a complex mechanical change occurred on the top of the airship, causing a giant cannon to appear on the originally smooth top, with its dark muzzle pointing directly at the man in black robes.

"You wouldn't do that, Lehart," came the voice of escort Niru from inside the airship.

"Enough talk, take this 'Dead Soul Flame'!"

The man in black robes immediately hurled the fireball in his hand, aiming it at the airship.

But the next second, a colorful beam of light suddenly shot out from the top of the flying boat, completely shattering the fireball.

"What, what is that?!"

Someone on the airship noticed that a dark blue fireball appeared out of nowhere and was instantly pierced and exploded.

As everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, they glanced at the giant cannon atop the airship, their expressions of shock deepening.

Even the Flash-eating Pteranodon quickly flew away from the vicinity of the giant cannon.

That wasn't all. After the attack, the flying boat transformed into two giant cannons from its sides, their muzzles pointing directly at the area where the black-robed man was located.

Ronan perceived this scene through his spiritual realm, and his face was also filled with disbelief.

At the muzzle of the giant cannon, he was astonished to find the same residual energy as inside the condensed element sphere.

Such a small airship can actually unleash such a powerful elemental attack.

"I was wondering why the shield's defense was the same as before. Turns out it's just that the light is increasing its own attack."

The man in black robes spoke with a mocking tone, "You're that confident in the defenses of your alchemical body?"

Ronan was startled upon hearing this.

Judging from the man in black robes' words, the flying boat seems to be the true form of the escort.

In other words, the escort Niru was either controlling the airship with his mind;

Or what?

The flying boat is the real Niru, while the escort role is merely an alchemical puppet used to guide the apprentices.

Ronan speculated that Niru was likely a vehicle-type alchemical puppet.

That casual shot just now was incredibly powerful; only alchemical golems of higher ranks could possess it.

"The calculations show that this is enough to deal with you," Niru said calmly.

"A mere first-tier alchemical puppet, and you've even learned calculations?"

The man in black felt he had heard a joke. "Then let me test your calculations."

After saying that, he suddenly flicked his sleeve.

Boom—

A deep, muffled thud rang out, and he instantly appeared directly above the airship through the gap in the protective shield.

So fast!

Ronan's heart skipped a beat; this speed was practically teleportation.

He could only vaguely detect the other party's fleeting movement through the mental realm.

It is impossible to see any of the intermediate movement process with the naked eye.

Before they could react, the man in black robes had already launched an attack on the airship.

He formed his five fingers into claws and waved them at the flying boat with his empty hand.

In an instant, a giant claw formed from a soul suddenly appeared in the air, carrying an aura of death, and fiercely grabbed downwards.

"Dead Soul Possession - Soul Claw!"

On the airship, everyone suddenly found themselves shrouded in shadow.

Looking up, a terrifying giant claw of soul energy appeared above them.

A gigantic claw descended, blotting out the sky.

The large flock of Flash-eating Pteranodons along the way in the air were all turned into a burst of blood mist.

Upon seeing this, everyone gasped, their eyes widening in despair.
