Magicians never make wishes

"Evil Axe, you take care of Grayleaf and the others first."

Ronan gave a command to Evil Axe, then turned and fired a row of ice arrows around the altar one by one.

These ice arrows aren't meant to freeze; their primary purpose is to inflict damage.

At the same time, they were fired in different directions in an effort to eliminate as many polluters as possible.

The square was already densely packed with polluters, a dark mass resembling a thick sheet of asphalt.

Ronan didn't even need to aim; he could fire an ice arrow at random and pierce through two or three corrupted creatures, freezing an area in the process.

However, the number of contaminated individuals was too large, so the effect of freezing was minimal.

Once launched, the "Elemental Arrow" is no longer under the control of the caster's mental power.

Ronan was unable to control an ice arrow to weave through the horde of corrupted beings and maximize its damage output.

The Demon Axe's ultimate ability is okay against distant corrupted creatures, but it's easy to damage the altar if they're too close...

This put him in a dilemma for a moment.

He finally realized the importance of area-of-effect attacks, but unfortunately, the Adventurers' Guild's list of zero-ring magic exchanges did not include any area-of-effect spells available for exchange.

If we have to categorize it, "Fireball" can barely be considered a group attack in this situation.

The polluters are weak to fire, but powerful flames in a dense group of polluters can cause a series of indirect damage.

Just like the mercenary vice-leader's Flame Black Hound, although its attacks are powerful, the most fatal aspect for the Corruptors is the wide-area black flame burning it causes.

Wait, black flames?

Ronan continued firing ice arrows, but his gaze fell on the limbs of the Corruptor that had been burned off by the Flame Hound.

He immediately cast "Mage's Hand".

Ronan disliked that this zero-ring magic was unusable in combat, so he only learned it superficially and could barely use it.

Then, an invisible giant hand lifted a small section of the limb covered in black flames from below the altar, and floated up to the altar, hovering in front of Ronan.

This black flame is significantly more powerful than ordinary flames, possesses an evil aura, and is extremely lethal to those corrupted...

As Ronan watched, a bold idea came to his mind.

He quickly said to the evil axe:

"Evil Axe, unleash your ultimate attack to hold out for a while, and send Drill Rat down to take care of Gray Leaf and the others."

"Captain, aren't you afraid the altar will explode?" Evil Axe asked.

"You take out the corruptors that are further away," Ronan smiled slightly at him. "I'll take care of the ones closer to the altar."

"Captain, there are many others close to the altar too..."

The wicked axe glanced at the dense black asphalt below and said,

"Why don't you save your Frost Arrows for the corrupted ones around the altar? I should be able to kill the ones further away with my ultimate."

Ronan shook his head. "It still has to be frozen."

Physical attacks alone are ineffective against the corrupted.

The evil axe nodded, walked to the edge of the altar, looked up and shouted, "You rascal, get down here right now!"

Ronan then turned around and began to conjure rows of ice arrows in preparation for the attack.

"Boss, I heard everything up there. You can rest assured and leave your two family members to me."

The drill rat leaped down from the top of the hole, using the "Stealth Assassination" skill to deflect the impact.

It landed steadily next to Gray Leaf and the other person.

The evil axe looked down at the dark mass of polluters, assumed a charging stance, and began preparing its ultimate attack.

By this time, Ronan had already condensed more than thirty ice arrows.

The murderous intent was palpable, and even the deputy commander in mid-air couldn't help but glance over.

Looking at the scene before him, he recalled Ronan's words, "My magic is incredibly effective against aerial attacks"...

In a daze, he seemed to see all the ice arrows shooting towards him at once, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

Ronan had no idea what the deputy commander was thinking.

After condensing the fortieth ice arrow, he divided it into several groups, adjusted the angles, and fired them instantly in different directions.

A volley of ice arrows startled the vice commander, who broke out in a cold sweat.

But none of those ice arrows were aimed at him, and none of them even pierced one of the corrupted ones.

Instead, after flying above the polluters, two or three ice arrows collided with each other, shattering into a shower of ice flowers.

Ice flowers rained down, and the ground below was instantly frozen solid.

"Boss, quick, the captain has frozen all the contaminated ones."

Seeing that the evil axe was still gathering its power, the burrowing mouse quickly reminded it.

"Use your ultimate move!"

"What ultimate move?" Evil Axe asked calmly without even lifting his eyelids.

"It's that upgraded version of your throwing axe ultimate move!"

"Oh~ you mean the enhanced version of my skill, 'Super Powerful Invincible Spinning Axe,' which I modified based on my own abilities, right?"

"Yes, yes, it's that throwing axe!"

"What throwing axe?"

"Your flying axe is... what?"

"Say it."

"Super Power... Unrivaled... Spinning Flying Axe".

"Okay, no problem."

The evil axe had finished charging, and the two short axes in its hands were stained with a layer of blood.

He threw it quickly using a specific posture and technique.

In an instant,

Two blood-red afterimages whistled through the air, spinning rapidly as they hurtled towards the horde of corrupted beings below.

Before the two blood-red wheels could even get close, the frozen ice sculptures were sliced ​​into pieces by the rapid wind blades.

The flying axe transformed into a blood wheel, relentlessly harvesting the polluted ice sculptures like a lawnmower.

Even those polluted individuals who were not frozen could not withstand the blood wheel attack and lost their means of recovery when facing physical attacks.

Seeing this, Ronan realized that what the evil axe had said, "It should be possible to kill him with just the ultimate move," was not an exaggeration.

With the massive harvest from the evil axe, a large number of polluters in the square disappeared instantly.

Taking advantage of this break, Ronan finally completed his attempt.

He also adopted the same posture of condensing ice arrows, clasping his hands together and then opening them apart.

However, this time, the main body of the flying arrow between his two palms was no longer solid ice, but a swaying black flame.

"Elemental Arrow" - Black Flame Arrow Form!

Compared to the crystal-clear ice-attribute arrow, after absorbing the black flames from the severed limb, the arrow's element changed to fire.

This not only gives the arrows a burning effect with fire attributes, but also gives them the special spreading intensity of black flames.

Ronan walked to the edge of the altar, aiming the black flame arrow in his hand at the corrupted creatures climbing higher and higher below.

With a slight thought, the black flame arrow shot swiftly toward the highest corrupted creature.

Immediately afterwards, the highest-ranking polluter was enveloped in black flames and fell into the dark mass of polluters below.

boom.

Like a spark falling into black grease, the polluter that fell instantly ignited the rest of its kind in the entire area.

Suddenly, raging black flames rose up, and one side of the altar became completely empty in the blink of an eye.

"What, what did you do?!"

Mercenary Kane was controlling his fiery black hound to wreak havoc when he suddenly sensed a power identical to his own behind him.

He turned around abruptly.

Then we saw Ronan unleash an arrow that ignited a towering black flame, clearing out a large area of ​​the polluted.

The scene was so commotion that everyone present turned their attention to it.

The evil axe and the drill rat stretched their necks out, looking towards the other side of the altar.

Akahoshi stood there, his gaze sweeping over Ronan in disbelief.

Nobody noticed.

A semi-transparent phantom suddenly appeared on the body of the stunned annual ring on the ground.

The phantom, like a spirit behind him, manipulated the unconscious Year Ring, slowly rising from the ground.
