Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 120 Unstable Soul

The "Magic Shield" activated instantly, blocking both ice arrows.

Ronan showed no joy; his brows were furrowed.

He roughly estimated the power of the ice arrow based on the shield's reaction.

Unexpectedly, the elemental ice arrow copied by the opponent had half the power of the one he had cast.

Since that's the case—

Without saying a word, he immediately generated an ice arrow at top speed and shot it straight at the opponent.

The elemental ice arrow flew back in the same direction, arriving in front of the opponent in an instant.

The transparent version of Ronan immediately followed suit and activated its "magic shield".

However, the shield was as flimsy as paper, offering no protection whatsoever, and was easily pierced by the ice arrow.

The shield collapsed, but the transparent version of Ronan remained unharmed.

Sure enough, the "magic shield" cast by the opponent only had half the defensive power of his own.

This type of defensive shield can withstand most attacks of the same level, but it cannot withstand a full-power ice arrow.

As for the transparent soul—

Ronan clapped his hands, and an arrow without any attribute immediately appeared in his palm. With a thought, he shot it toward his opponent.

Attributeless flying arrows are the natural nemesis of soul-based beings.

Of course, this is Ronan's own interpretation.

The "Elemental Arrow" at a normal level mainly emphasizes attribute changes.

Opinions vary on its power; it's unlikely to cause significant damage to the soul.

Ronan felt this way mainly because the enhancement of his mental power made the originally ordinary zero-ring magic undergo a qualitative change in his hands.

The transparent version of Ronan dodged the ice arrow using the characteristics of his soul form. Just as he was feeling smug, he suddenly saw another arrow flying towards him.

Its eyes were full of disdain.

No matter how many times you try, the result will not change; elemental attacks cannot affect the soul.

It didn't even want to move, straightened its back, and intended to openly demonstrate the superiority of a soul form in the face of ordinary attacks.

Unfortunately, this seemingly ordinary arrow dealt a devastating blow to the soul.

The arrow, devoid of any attribute, struck the soul, not only piercing through it but also leaving a huge hole in it.

The hole was covered with cracks, which quickly spread to the entire soul body until the entire soul body collapsed layer by layer from the inside out.

The transparent version of Ronan, filled with fear and despair, completely turned into a pile of soul fragments.

However, it happened in less than a second.

The fragments of the soul instantly coalesced into a sphere, bouncing and constantly changing position, as if deliberately avoiding Ronan's detection.

Unfortunately, no matter how it tries to maneuver, it remains within the realm of the mind and cannot escape being locked on.

Seeing the sphere approach the vicinity of the green-haired, smirking man, Ronan thought that the green-haired, smirking man must be something special, otherwise he wouldn't be killed.

He didn't intend to remind the other party, nor could he.

The entire arena is now filled with undead creatures. Without the aid of his mental perception, he can't even see where the green-haired, sinister-smiling man is.

Ronan didn't want to do something thankless.

However, he was wrong about one thing.

He can sense the sphere because of the superposition of his spiritual realm and the strength of his spiritual power.

That doesn't mean others can do it too.

The green-haired, smirking man was completely unaware of the approaching spherical spirit, and was still sizing up Remnant Star and the large group of star-chasing undead behind him with a sinister look.

By the time the sphere suddenly revealed its true form behind him, it was already too late.

The sphere expanded, transforming into a twisting curtain that swallowed him whole from top to bottom.

Before the green-haired, sinister-smiling man could react, everything went black, and he fell completely silent.

Apart from Ronan, none of the apprentices present noticed this scene.

Both captains stood guard outside the Necropolis.

Once a class enters, it is easily perceived by the cave's rulers as an invasion of their territory, which will quickly attract various attacks.

It's completely not cost-effective for acquiring resources.

To this end, the academy trains a group of outstanding apprentices each year to go to the Necropolis to obtain resources.

However, in recent years, the Cave of the Dead has been acting strangely for some unknown reason.

Even with the skills of an apprentice, the situation was still too dangerous to handle; the number of casualties was rising and the losses were increasing.

As a result, Lehart's abduction frequency increased.

A decrease in new students means a decrease in resources, making it the top priority for the Valley of the Dead to replenish its pool of high-quality students.

If the average freshman intake is too high, then we should recruit more high-quality students.

However, no matter how good the green-haired, smirking man was, he was still among the top students in this batch of freshmen, yet he still lost his life quietly.

This isn't a problem of high-quality students at all; it's about what has changed in the Cave of the Dead.

However, those present had no time to care about that.

After the green-haired, grinning man was swallowed, his body was not damaged, but his eye sockets were plunged into endless darkness.

A moment later, he suddenly smiled and resumed his normal actions.

This doesn't look like the green-haired, sinister-smiling man defeating the sphere; rather, it seems the sphere has successfully taken over his body.

Ronan witnessed the whole process and secretly decided that he would kill the other party as soon as he got close.

The most urgent task is to find a way to deal with this large group of undead creatures.

He squinted, his gaze fixed on the three enemy soldiers opposite him who had already hidden themselves.

"What are they doing over there?"

Que Zuo asked in a low voice, afraid that being too loud would attract the attention of the horde of undead creatures.

"Can't you tell you're courting death?" the disfigured man said coldly.

"Given the current situation, are we still going to compete?" The missing right ear refers to the competition between the two teams in terms of the number of resources they acquire.

"Do you want to go out and get skinned alive?" The disfigured face glanced at him, gritting his teeth as he said, "We definitely have to compete, let the other side help us."

"You mean—" A glint of light flashed in the right ear.

"In this situation, I guess you'll have to come and help us." Ronan's voice suddenly came from behind the three of them.

The three of them were instantly startled.

The disfigured man reacted immediately, unleashing a ghostly green magic attack at Ronan.

The attack struck Ronan's already deployed "magic shield," corroding a gap in it.

In less than a second, the gap healed automatically.

"How did you end up here!?"

Missing his left ear, his face filled with terror, he still remembered how terrifying Ronan's wind pellets were.

"Your appearance so quietly doesn't seem like you've come with good intentions," the disfigured man said with a gloomy expression.

"Whether it's out of goodwill or not is unimportant," Ronan chuckled. "What's important is acquiring resources to go out and complete our mission."

"You don't want to escape empty-handed and then be punished by your captain, do you?"

"Escape?" The right ear keenly caught this key word.

Ronan's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. "A big guy killed one of our team members and is impersonating him, waiting for his chance to strike."

The terrain here is higher than Ronan's, so we can get a general view of the situation there.

He pointed at the green-haired, smirking man. "He's been possessed by an undead."

"Do we look like idiots to you?" the disfigured man retorted.
