Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 118 Mishap During Engagement

"You see, neither of us can do anything to the other."

The goblin's attitude was more proper this time, and he was less arrogant than before.

However, Reihart had no intention of giving up.

He clenched his fists simultaneously, and two blade-shaped beams appeared in the air, swiftly slashing down at the protective barrier below.

The goblin reacted swiftly, pages of his book flying as he shouted, "Outland!"

Suddenly, another barrier appeared between his shield and his barrier.

The two "Death Soul Slashes" were absorbed by the layers of defense and did not cause any damage to the goblin.

This victory allowed the goblins to completely relax.

At least Reihart's attacks can be defended without damage. If they really wear each other down, it's still uncertain who will win.

"You need three layers of shell to fight back, do you still have the strength to attack?" Lehart sneered.

This is indeed the case.

The book in the goblin's possession was a "magic book" that he had bought at a high price.

The book contains various types of magic that can be quickly activated by consuming mental energy and magic stones.

The only drawback is that the number of spells that can be maintained at the same time is linked to the strength of one's mental power.

At their current level, goblins can only cast two spells at the same time.

If there are too many, you must first cancel the spells that have already been cast.

In other words, if he wants to ensure that both the "inner domain" and the "outer domain" exist simultaneously, he can no longer use "Thunder" to attack.

Reihart pointed out this drawback with just one glance.

"Captain Black Demon, I may not have much else, but I have plenty of supplies."

As the goblin spoke, he lifted his magic robe, revealing various storage devices hanging from his waist, on his wrists, arms, and fingers.

The Adventurers' Guild's storage bag, the Arcane Society's storage pouch, and the Mercenary Blood Alliance's storage pouch —

It has all kinds of storage equipment, making it practically a walking, human-shaped warehouse.

The goblin said, half-jokingly, "You don't want me to exhaust your last bit of mental energy, only for someone else to benefit from it, do you?"

"You?" Lehart looked at him with utter contempt.

The opponent's strength is average, but he has all kinds of magical artifacts, so it's really not going to be easy to defeat him in a short time.

"Captain Dark Devil, we didn't come alone." The goblin smiled, his gaze sweeping over the two teams.

His gaze made the remaining three team members feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Previously, in order to block Lehart's slash, their team's prematurely aged apprentices had been ruthlessly consumed by the goblins.

The mention of themselves at this moment caused the three of them to tense up.

"What do you want to do?" Lehart asked, squinting.

"How about this, let the two teams each enter the Necropolis to capture resources, and then compare the quantities. The winning team can get the resources captured by the other team."

The goblin spoke eloquently, and it didn't seem like a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Reihart thought for a moment and realized that the strength of the two apprentices was roughly the same, as could be seen from their previous mental clash.

However, since our team has a numerical advantage, there's no reason for us to be afraid of the opponent.

So he nodded and said, "Okay."

"Since you agree, Captain Black Demon, let's draw up a temporary contract."

The goblin produced a contract and entered the contents of the agreement into his mind.

The specific content is as follows:

The team captains are not allowed to interfere. The winner is determined by the number of resources captured by the two teams. The winner gets all the resources captured by the loser.

After carefully reviewing the document twice and confirming that there was nothing suspicious about it, Reihart signed the temporary contract.

The main purpose of a provisional contract is to record evidence that can be used to apply for arbitration with the college.

This method of concluding temporary contracts is quite common in the Valley of the Dead, and with the support of the academy's arbitration, its reliability is somewhat guaranteed.

After all, if the case goes to arbitration, both parties will have to endure a severe beating, which can be quite unpleasant.

After signing the temporary contract, Lehart instructed his team members: "The entrance to the Necropolis is relatively safe and has more resources. Once you're inside, just guard a spot and don't run away."

"Captain, you two captains can't intervene, right?"

Canxing asked, "If they attack us, to what extent can we retaliate?"

What Remnant Star wanted to ask was how strong the counterattack could be.

"No upper limit."

Lehart remained expressionless, his eyes revealing a coldness.

The entrance to the Cave of the Dead.

As soon as Ronan stepped into this place, he felt that the air was filled with a lingering, ghostly aura, and a chill inexplicably arose within him.

The cave was spacious, and although the two teams went in different directions, they were still within each other's sight.

Between the two teams lay relatively flat terrain and various wandering undead creatures.

"Are there so many strange things at the entrance?"

Ba Quan looked delighted, repeatedly clapping his fists together, and asked his three teammates, "What do you mean?"

"Let's do it the way we agreed. Don't go too far apart, and make sure we can provide support at any time." Remnant Star looked at Green Wolf and Ronan.

Seeing that neither of them had any objections, he nodded and smiled, "Then I'll start."

He walked toward the middle of the two groups, where a large group of ghouls was located.

After locking onto the outermost ghoul, Canxing condensed a small fireball at his fingertip, flicked it, and shot it towards the ghoul.

The fireball hit, blasting the ghoul beyond recognition, but it was otherwise unharmed.

It looked up in the direction from which the fireball originated and soon saw the remaining star.

Then, it roared, instantly alarming the entire ghoul horde.

The ghoul that had been blown up charged forward, leaping towards the remaining star.

The entire ghoul horde immediately followed behind it.

Holy crap!

Canxing never expected that simply engaging a monster would attract the entire ghoul horde.

He even deliberately controlled the power of the fireball in order to lure the ghouls over.

The luring did happen, but it turned out to be a whole horde of ghouls.

"Quick, we messed up the engagement, get backup!" Canxing shouted to the other team members.

"What the hell?!"

As Ba Quan watched the horde of ghouls charging towards him, cold sweat poured down his forehead.

He originally planned to practice the "Skeleton Summoning" spell first, and then convert the previous Corrupted Hounds into skeletons.

Before the experiment even begins, they'll be facing a huge horde of ghouls.

"Hey, the previous allocation plan hasn't changed, right? Whoever takes the resources gets them." The green-haired man with a sinister smile asked Remnant Star to confirm.

"It's all yours!" Remnant Star replied hastily, a large fireball forming in his hand.

He planned to take down the ghouls at the front first.

Upon hearing this, the green-haired man's lips curled into a smirk.

Immediately, he turned around and snapped his fingers, his body engulfed in white flames, his gaze sweeping back and forth among the oncoming ghouls.

Unlike the Overlord Fist, which focuses on powerful single-target attacks, almost all of his magic spells have considerable area-of-effect damage.

"Flame Devourer!"

He stretched out his fingers, aimed at the center of the ghoul horde, and shouted.

Immediately, the white flames surrounding him surged up, transforming into a white torrent that shot out.

boom.

A torrent of white flames exploded within the ghoul horde.
