Magicians never make wishes

The three people around him immediately gasped.

The mercenary stared at Ronan in disbelief.

If he wasn't mistaken, this white-haired brat had paid a considerable price to open the altar.

How could it possibly have recovered completely in such a short time?!

Moreover, the first thing they did was use dangerous magic that made people's eyebrows twitch.

Kane's years of combat experience told him that if he were shot with such an arrow without any warning, he probably wouldn't be able to be saved.

What's more, there's a whole row of those dangerous magic arrows!

"You..." The deputy commander was momentarily at a loss for words to respond to the other party.

"Bai, Baiye?" Akahoshi stared wide-eyed and tentatively called out to Ronan.

He couldn't understand how Ronan, who had just been completely exhausted, could suddenly act as if nothing had happened.

Upon seeing the polluters attack, they were actually able to condense so many "elemental ice arrows"!

How much mental energy would it take to pull that off...?

As a fellow mage, Akahoshi naturally had some knowledge of "Elemental Arrows".

He could roughly estimate the mental energy required based on that row of ice arrows.

This undoubtedly requires a massive investment of mental energy!

Just how much mental energy does he have?!

Akahoshi screamed inwardly, finding it hard to believe the reality before him.

Evil Axe's attitude was completely opposite to that of the previous two.

He was still pondering how to get the captain and the two ladies out with Drill Rat.

it's good now,

The captain is not only unharmed, but it seems he even has a chance to unleash a super combo attack with me...

The wicked axe's mouth was stretched almost to his ears.

"Captain! What should we do about the two ladies?"

He looked around and found that there was no safe place in the square.

"Call the drill rat back."

Ronan scanned the area and found that only the altar, this raised platform, was sufficient to deal with the enemy. "Let's go up to the altar first."

After carrying the rings of the tree onto the altar, Pharos then came down and continued carrying the red star.

Ronan and the evil axe followed behind him, and the four of them climbed up the altar together.

On the altar.

The tree trunk lay prostrate on the ground, engrossed in studying the unknown runes on the altar.

He muttered words to himself that only he could hear.

"Akahoshi, come look!"

He suddenly shouted, startling the red star on Pharos's back.

"What pollution? Haha, it's all... hahaha..."

The tree rings were in a frenzied state, laughing uncontrollably and lying on the ground convulsing.

"Annual Rings!" Akahoshi struggled to get off Pharos's back, ran to Annual Rings, and shook his shoulders vigorously. "Wake up!"

"Is he insane?"

Kane descended from the sky and glanced at the unknown runes in front of the tree rings.

"Was he contaminated?"

The evil axe was somewhat hesitant and found a spot furthest from the tree rings to place the gray leaves and red hammer down.

"Mr. Dwarf, this isn't pollution..." Red Star hesitated, then shook his head, saying, "This can't go on..."

His gaze gradually hardened as he extended his finger and aimed it at the back of the neck where the growth rings were.

Then, controlling the force, he unleashed a slight magical shock, stunning the tree ring.

"If we knock him out like that, will this artificial puppet still be usable?"

The deputy commander pointed to Pharos, who was standing motionless to the side, and said.

"Manufactured what?" Evil Axe had never heard of such a thing.

Ronan reacted instantly.

No wonder he was the only one without a code name, didn't utter a single word throughout the entire process, and was able to achieve precise coordination with the tree rings multiple times...

So, when they turned on the switch earlier, the other person wasn't intentionally trying to drag them into the mess; there were just two of them to begin with...

Oh no, it's a misunderstanding...

"It's alright, Pharos can obey the orders of the Society members on his own," Akahoshi explained.

As he spoke, he had already used his mental power to complete the authorization verification of the artificial puppet and gained control of Pharos.

Ronan turned to the axe-wielding monster and asked, "Where's the burrowing rat?"

The evil axe pointed upwards, "He's almost there."

Ronan looked in the direction he was pointing.

Then you can see a small figure clinging to the stone wall diagonally above the square.

"Captain, don't worry about me, I'll come down by myself in a bit."

The drill rat's hands and feet were covered with a layer of fluorescence, allowing it to stick firmly to the stone wall without falling off.

This must be an assassin's skill at work.

At his height, he didn't need to worry about being attacked by the polluters below.

"Then be careful."

Ronan gave a brief instruction and then casually fired an ice arrow towards the area below the altar.

It pierced through the bodies of the two contaminated beings in an instant.

The chill spread, freezing the surrounding pollutants and a small area.

But then, the polluters that surged up from behind directly covered the area.

"There are too many."

After gaining control of the artificial puppets, Akahoshi ordered a direct attack on the Corruptors.

Pharos's fireballs are fast and accurate, often taking down a Corruptor with a single shot.

But for the polluters who have almost filled the square, it is clearly a drop in the ocean.

"Mr. Kane, aren't you going to make a move?"

The previous activation of the switch had clearly consumed a significant amount of energy, and Crimson Star needed time to recover, so they could only pin their hopes on the vice-leader of the Shadow Mercenary Group.

Unexpectedly, the vice-commander snorted coldly and suddenly appeared in front of Chi Xing.

The spear was poised to strike his face.

"You think you can give orders...?"

Kane stopped mid-sentence.

He suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him.

Turning around, his gaze met Ronan's cold eyes and an ice arrow poised to be fired.

"Vice Commander Kane, my magic is surprisingly effective against aerial attacks. Would you like to try it?" Ronan asked calmly.

Ray-type magic is far more threatening to aerial targets than other magic of the same level.

The mercenary's ability to float in the air was of no advantage to him.

He had already decided that if the mercenaries were still thinking about fighting amongst themselves at this time, they would treat him and the polluters in the square as equals and target them first.

"White-haired brat, do you really think I'm afraid of you?" The vice-commander's face was gloomy, and his body was covered by a ghostly light.

"No one cares what you do, but I don't recommend you attack the people here."

After Ronan finished speaking, he spread his five fingers.

What was originally a single ice arrow instantly multiplied into five, their chilling arrowheads all pointing at the opponent.

Upon seeing this, the deputy commander's heart skipped a beat.

"I underestimated you."

He turned away, and a faint light from his body lifted him into the air, slowly drifting towards the sky not far from the altar.

Immediately afterwards, the spear in his hand burst into flames and he thrust it downwards.

Black Flame instantly transformed into a black fire hound half the height of a person, charging straight down.

The Flame Hound rampaged through the horde of corrupted beings, easily incinerating those around it with a mere flick of its wrist.

It seems that whatever the deputy commander wants to do, he has to eliminate these polluters first.

Ronan, watching the ever-growing number of corrupted beings gather below the altar, said to the axe-wielding beast...

"Evil Axe, how many times can your 'Spinning Axe' circle the altar?"

"With so many of them, it's manageable to circle around once, but if there are too many, I'm afraid I won't be able to retrieve my axe."

The evil axe looked down at the hordes of polluters below, a troubled expression on his face.

Then, he became somewhat eager to try it out.

"But Captain, if you can freeze them all without damaging the altar, then my ultimate move..."

"Mr. Dwarf, please don't do that," Akahoshi said, stopping him.

Ronan and the axe turned their heads at the same time.

Akahoshi felt a little flustered when faced with their questioning gazes.

"This altar contains multiple unknown magic arrays..."

"If it is damaged carelessly, it could very likely cause the magic array's energy to go out of control, thus triggering a chain of explosions..."

Ronan and the axe turned their heads back together.
