Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 187 The Clown

"Come out! You invisible guy, show yourself!"

"Don't think we don't know, it was you who stole the spring water!"

The Third Holy Son shouted sternly, his voice resounding throughout the entire venue, drawing everyone's attention.

"Sir, you've silently stolen the spring water; do you intend to enjoy it all by yourself?"

The Second Holy Son maintained his Bone-Melting Demon form, his cold gaze sweeping over the entire scene. "Aren't you afraid of becoming everyone's public enemy?"

The others then realized that the spring water in the center had been stolen by the invisible Ronan.

"Stop fighting, everyone stop fighting!"

A member of the Necromancer Valley suddenly stepped forward, waving his hand, and shouted to the crowd, "The reason you're all fighting so fiercely is because of this special spring in the central area—"

"Now that the spring is gone, what's the point of continuing to fight for it?"

What he said made some sense, but not much; mainly, he underestimated the current situation.

By now, the four academies have been locked in a fierce battle, and their grudges have become irrelevant to the fountain.

The player from the Necromancer Valley continued, "Everyone should focus on the invisible Bai Ye. He stole the fountain, so he's the one we should be killing!"

He tried to persuade everyone to put aside their current battle and focus all their efforts on finding Ronan.

But Ronan is not so easy to find.

If it were truly possible, everyone would have done it back on the third floor; they wouldn't have waited until now to do it.

The people looking at him were almost like they were looking at a clown.

The player kept urging, "Stop fighting, let's all work together to take down the culprit—"

However, before he could finish speaking, a thick ray of light shot from the void, passing over everyone and completely destroying his entire upper body.

This blow silenced everyone in the room instantly, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

They have been focused on how difficult it is for Ronan to be detected by stealth, but few people understand what stage Ronan's true strength is at.

Judging from this single strike, Ronan's strength is in no way inferior to the top few.

No one mourned the clown from the Valley of the Dead; the entire place was eerily silent.

"If you want to organize someone to kill me again, feel free to try."

Ronan's voice came from the void, making it difficult to pinpoint his true location; it seemed as if he were right next to everyone.

The leader of the Eternal Night Kingdom and the Dark Prince seemed to want to say something to him, but the Star Dragon of the Abyss of No Darkness spoke first: "Your Excellency, the Abyss of No Darkness has no intention of seizing the spring water. We only hope that you will not interfere with our battle."

Clearly, Ronan has become a major unpredictable factor that could change the course of the battle at any moment.

"Okay," Ronan replied, and then said no more.

The Dark Abyss voluntarily relinquished its claim to the fountain, but the Dark Tower and the Eternal Night Kingdom had no such intention.

"You intend to monopolize all the rewards on the fourth floor by yourself? Isn't that a bit too ambitious?"

Ronan remained hidden, his brows slightly furrowed.

Looking in the direction of the voice, the speaker was a contestant from the Eternal Night Kingdom.

The second holy son of the Dark Tower chimed in, "Your Excellency, each person has a limited share of the Illusionary Spring Water. Why don't you wait until you've used it all before distributing the rest to us?"

"Of course, we will definitely give you appropriate compensation. What do you think?"

One sings the red face, the other sings the white face.

The two academies were clearly unwilling to lose the spring water so easily, as it would be a disservice to their current casualties if they ended up empty-handed.

Especially the Dark Tower, they had already lost three players, but just now when they were chasing Dark Raven and Black Owl, another person was too reckless and was enveloped by Dark Raven's Moon Shadow. He was immediately cursed by the Moon Shadow, his flesh and blood collapsed, and when he escaped, only a skeleton remained. He was dead beyond any doubt.

Ronan had absolutely no liking for either of these colleges.

His attention was focused on the area above the central section of the fourth floor.

After he collected the spring water, a whirlpool suddenly appeared there, and something seemed to be about to descend from above.

Ronan guessed that it was most likely the stairs leading from the fourth to the fifth floor.

Everyone present noticed this scene.

However, they did not want to open the entrances to the fourth and fifth floors before obtaining the spring water.

Academies with a rich history usually have information about the Tower of Babel, the most famous of which is the Illusionary Spirit Spring.

This spring water will randomly appear on a certain level. Once it appears, the original mechanism of that level will instantly disappear, leaving only the spring water in the middle area.

The effect of the Illusionary Spring Water is that it can directly improve the quality and maximum quantity of souls.

Although the enhancement that the Illusionary Spirit Spring Water can provide to each person has a certain limit, this kind of fundamental strengthening is extremely rare and precious, and is very rare in the market.

It is said that the Illusionary Spring Water does not always appear in the Tower of Babel.

That is why, when the major academies reached the fourth floor and discovered that there was a Phantom Spirit Spring there, they immediately began to fight.

The reason is simple: the reward is too tempting, and one must get it at all costs.

The fact that Ronan had taken away the spring water that everyone longed for was like a knife stabbing deep into everyone's heart.

Unfortunately, no one could find Ronan, and they were completely helpless against him.

This feeling is awful.

"Kid, I advise you not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! Aren't you afraid we'll risk everything to envelop the entire fourth floor under a magic array?"

A person from the Eternal Night Kingdom immediately shouted at the air.

Ronan scoffed at this argument.

If you could really do that, would you be using it to threaten me now?

The usually taciturn Great Holy Son of the Dark Tower spoke up at this moment: "If Your Excellency is willing, the Dark Tower will offer something that satisfies Your Excellency in exchange. What are your thoughts?"

Although he knew from his instinctive senses that the spring water was a good thing, what made these people so humble and even resorting to trickery in their request for a trade was...

This made him suspicious.

What exactly is this spring water?

If it weren't for the fact that the Tower of Babel couldn't connect to the magic network, Ronan would have gone up there right now to check out the relevant information.

With Ronan's reply delayed, the members of the Dark Tower grew impatient: "If you don't come out soon, don't blame us for killing everyone in the Valley of the Dead! When you return, you'll have a hard time explaining it to the higher-ups."

They were truly at their wits' end.

This was the first time I'd met someone as stubborn as Ronan. The lure of benefits had no effect whatsoever, so threats were all I could think of.

Although the threat seemed somewhat ridiculous to Ronan.

The attacks had stopped while everyone was talking.

Huanhu, the deputy leader of the Dark Abyss, who had been analyzing the pitch-black barrier, finally opened his eyes.

At this moment, he was like a deflated balloon, but his eyes were still bright and piercing.

He turned to his companion beside him and said in a relaxed tone, "It's untied."
