Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 117 Premature Aging in a Child: Someone Else

Ronan remained semi-invisible throughout, using the ghoul skeletons to conceal his presence.

His mental domain quietly unfolded, bypassing the mental combat zone in the air, and sweeping towards the members of the opposing team.

Apart from the middle-aged captain, none of the opposing team members were normal.

Disfigured, missing a left ear, missing a right ear, prematurely aged —

Calling them the "Heavenly Crippled and Earthly Defective Squad" is no exaggeration.

He felt that the middle-aged captain on the other side was probably no match for Lehart.

At least when the mental domain was activated, Lehart gave him a surprised look.

The middle-aged man on the other side, whose mental domain covered the entire battlefield, did not react at all.

Of course, it's possible that the middle-aged man is so powerful that he doesn't care about such a small thing.

However, to his surprise, some of the apprentices noticed him.

That exceptionally intelligent, short, and chubby boy seemed to have a particularly keen sense of the spiritual realm, and upon discovering it, he immediately located Ronan's position.

Immediately, he raised his hand and threw a small metal ball.

The small metal ball floated in the air and disintegrated into a mass of metallic sand.

The metallic sand transformed into a stream of quicksand, flying straight towards Ronan's location.

Ronan immediately ordered the ghoul skeleton to block the incoming quicksand. The skeleton turned around and precisely tore the quicksand apart with a claw.

The quicksand dispersed, only to regroup moments later.

Once the quicksand of metal had gathered, it bypassed the skull and flew straight towards him.

Ronan frowned, feeling somewhat at a loss for where to begin.

Although the "scorching rays" can ensure that the quicksand is completely melted, the noise is too great and will easily attract the attention of everyone present.

So he decided to try casting a basic zero-ring spell that he rarely used: "Wind Spell".

The effect of this spell is to create a small whirlwind at a designated location. However, its range is limited, and it is generally only used to prevent fall damage.

But things are different now.

Ronan's mental strength far surpasses that of ordinary people, allowing him to produce effects beyond his usual level even with unmodified magic.

This is an example of quantitative change leading to qualitative change, also known as great effort producing miracles.

Faced with the oncoming quicksand, he immediately cast a "wind-generating spell".

boom.

A wind ball the size of a basketball suddenly appeared, with a powerful self-rotating suction force, sucking all the quicksand into its interior.

Immediately afterward, the wind ball flew for a moment at its initial speed before suddenly exploding.

As luck would have it, the location of the explosion was not far from the enemy team's location.

The fine sand fragments thrown out by the explosion of the wind ball became a large-scale physical impact.

"Ah!" X2

"who!"

Even those with disfigured faces a little further away from Feng Wan could still angrily demand to know who it was;

The two people with missing ears who were closer to each other had already started wailing.

At the same time, their initial advantage in the mental clash vanished in an instant, and the three members of the Overlord Fist trio won the battle.

Well, this time it's quite a commotion.

However, Ronan underestimated the power of the quicksand.

After the disfigured face and the missing ear were hit by quicksand, the affected areas began to turn black and ooze pus, showing a tendency to spread throughout their bodies.

The toxicity of quicksand is surprisingly high.

The three opponents immediately lost their fighting ability and were on the verge of death.

"Well done, Bai Ye!"

With a roar, Ba Quan released a great deal of pent-up frustration, feeling immensely relieved.

The green-haired man with the sinister smile subconsciously curled his lip, mentally raising his level of threat to another level.

Remnant Star seemed lost in thought, muttering, "He's actually skilled in this kind of magic—"

These words traveled back to Ronan's ears through the mental realm, leaving him speechless.

To be honest, the reason why the Wind Ball has such great destructive power is mainly due to that metallic quicksand.

A simple wind ball only has suction and explosive force, and is completely non-toxic.

Upon seeing this, the exceptionally intelligent, short, and chubby boy on the other side immediately intervened to stop the spread of the poison among the three.

He then stood up, his face so dark it looked like it could drip water.

Without saying a word, he raised his hand and fired a beam of emerald light at Ronan.

Before Ronan could react, the familiar soul armor enveloped him.

The emerald green light struck the armor, but did not cause the slightest ripple.

"Are you pretending I don't exist?"

With a sweep of his hand, Lehart unleashed a colossal, sky-covering claw of soul energy that slammed down upon his opponent.

Suddenly, a black, semi-transparent shield rose up at the location of the opponent.

The giant claw of the soul slammed down, piercing right through the protective barrier.

From a distance, it looked as if the protective shield had pierced through the giant claw of the soul.

"How's my Soul Fusion Field?" the short, fat boy asked with a sinister smile.

"You even managed to get your hands on this. Looks like you've been planning this all along, old goblin," Lehart said calmly.

Ronan paused upon hearing this, his gaze turning to the short, chubby boy.

He had always thought the other person was a prematurely aged apprentice, and the captain should be that middle-aged man.

It turns out that the premature aging was caused by someone else; the real captain was actually this short, fat dwarf.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. This area is so spacious, I really don't know why you have to compete with us for resources."

The dwarf captain shrugged dismissively. "Since it's a competition for resources, strength will naturally prevail."

"You're getting all high and mighty just because you're wearing a shell that can't be moved?" Reihart sneered and reached out to grasp at the air.

In an instant, a blade-shaped object made of soul material appeared in the air.

The blade hovered above the dwarf captain, slashing down with unstoppable force.

"Death Soul Slash"

The dwarf captain said with a mocking look, "It's useless, a soul cannot penetrate a force field—"

Just as he said, the blade completely melted away upon contact with the lower shield.

However, even as the soul-shaped blade dissolved, the slashing attacks did not cease.

The air inside the enclosure was still neatly divided in two.

The dwarf captain's brow twitched, and an indescribable sense of crisis suddenly welled up in his heart.

He instinctively grabbed the prematurely aged middle-aged apprentice beside him and quickly flung him into the air.

Swish.

An invisible slash passed by.

The apprentice stared in terror as he was instantly sliced ​​in two.

After that, the momentum of the strike was greatly reduced.

Instead of dodging to the side, the dwarf captain quickly took out a book, opened it, and shouted, "Inner Domain!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cylindrical barrier suddenly appeared within a one-meter radius centered on him.

The last bit of force from the strike landed on the barrier and vanished without a trace.

Immediately, the dwarf captain launched a counterattack.

The book in his hand moved on its own without any wind, eventually stopping on the middle page, and he shouted, "Thunder!"

Before long, Ronan noticed that dark clouds were gathering overhead, and a thick bolt of lightning struck down, shattering the phantom of Lehart's soul armor.

Fortunately, the soul armor quickly returned to its original state, which dispelled Ronan's plan to escape.

He turned to look at the two squad leaders, estimating that both of them were at least at the rank of class.

Lehart's overall strength should be significantly greater than his opponent's.

However, the dwarf captain had a significant advantage in magical items, which made up for the gap between the two.

As a result, the two captains ended up in a draw.
