Magicians never make wishes

Parker's face turned pale instantly, and a sharp pain shot through his right shoulder.

He was hunched over, convulsing, but he covered his mouth tightly.

They were afraid that making a sound would displease their owner and result in further punishment.

The employer got up, clapped his hands, and continued walking toward Ronan's cell as if nothing had happened.

The sound of hurried footsteps drew closer.

Perry curled up again to pretend to be a corpse, but moved to a corner near the cell door.

Ronan hid behind the rock, using its muscular physique to shield himself as much as possible.

The cell door opened, and the employer and five burly thugs entered one after another, torches illuminating the entire dark, empty cell.

"Let's do it."

At the employer's command, the five thugs drew their weapons and went toward the five men lying on the ground.

These thugs were all muscular green-skinned orcs. Whether they possessed any skills was unknown, but they could beat people to death with their fists alone.

Just as Ronan was about to make a move, someone was faster than him.

Perry straightened out of her curled-up state and quietly moved behind her employer.

She pulled out a long sword from somewhere and plunged it into the employer's back.

The sword strike was swift and fierce, but it was forced to stop before it could even touch the employer's clothes.

The longsword in Perry's hand began to shake from side to side, as if an invisible force was gripping the tip of the sword, causing it to swing wildly.

She remained expressionless, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

His hands gripped the sword hilt tightly, remaining motionless, silently resisting the trembling.

Ronan sensed that she wasn't using any skills; it was purely a manifestation of physical strength and personal will.

The vice-captain of the top three mercenary groups is indeed a force to be reckoned with.

The situation reached a stalemate for a moment.

The employer had already noticed the assassination attempt from behind, but took no action.

He firmly believed that his "force field robe" was perfectly adequate for defense.

The longsword could not withstand the impact of the two opposing forces, and soon it broke into three pieces.

The impact rebounded, and Perry and her employer both staggered back a few steps.

Upon seeing this, the five thugs immediately pounced on Pei Li.

The weapons in their hands all emitted different lights, as if they had been specially enchanted.

Seeing this, Pei Li hesitated for a moment.

According to normal combat tactics, she should either leave the cell and take them out as she goes;

Either unleash your power and wipe out everyone in the dungeon in one fell swoop.

The problem is that Ronan and a few others are still in prison. If she goes all out, those people will basically have no chance of survival.

Just as she was hesitating, five thugs were successively pierced through the head by several rays.

By the time they reached Perry due to inertia, they were already five headless corpses.

"I didn't realize you were so skilled, uncle." Perry gave a thumbs up.

She reached into her pocket and pulled out two more longswords exactly like the ones before.

Immediately afterwards, Perry turned the hilt of her sword and tossed a longsword to Ronan.

"I have plenty of weapons. Let's see how many times his robes can withstand this. Let's all attack together!"

"What are you talking about? I'm a magician!"

Ronan had just instinctively caught the sword, only to realize now that the vice-commander wanted him to join in the attack.

"He's wearing a force field robe, specifically designed to deflect magic."

Perry had already rushed forward and thrust her sword into the employer's chest.

"This little girl is quite knowledgeable," the employer chuckled, completely disregarding her. "But who told you this can only reflect magic?"

The employer crossed his arms, neither dodging nor avoiding Perry's thrust.

Immediately, he opened his arms wide, and a shockwave quickly spread out, rushing towards the two of them.

Another physical shockwave!

Ronan was practically cursing. Couldn't they have come up with something more sophisticated, like a soul attack?!

He vowed that he would improve his physical condition as soon as he got back.

Although his attack power is extremely high now, he has virtually no defense against physical shockwaves.

In some ways, it is no different from a pure glass cannon.

The shockwave struck, piercing through the "magic shield" Ronan had cast in front of him and sending him and the four people on the ground flying against the wall.

Fortunately, he used the rock as a cushion in time, thus avoiding more serious injuries.

He had never suffered such severe injuries when dealing with polluters, and he immediately stood up and pointed at his employer.

The "scorching ray" was controlled in its power and quickly shot towards the employer.

However, just as the scorching rays were about to strike the opponent, they strangely bounced back along the same path and headed straight for Ronan.

Nourishing.

The ray was blocked by Ronan's fully activated "magic shield".

Judging from the intensity of the reflected rays, more than 60% of their power should have been lost.

In other words, that force field robe absorbed 40% of the damage.

Ronan pondered whether he should use "Burning Ray" to wear down his opponent.

Let's see whether he gives up first or his robe gets torn first.

However, since physical and energy attacks can be defended against, what about mental attacks?

Ronan had a sudden inspiration and used his mental power to create a secret seal with his bare hands, then threw it at his employer.

This seal is his latest perfected "Mental Fear" trigger seal, which will automatically trigger magic as long as malice is sensed.

The moment the secret seal approached the employer, before it even got close, it was immediately triggered by the intense malice.

"Mental fear" descended instantly.

The employer suddenly felt a chill run through his body, and the surrounding environment transformed into a dark, deep sea.

Suddenly, as I found myself in the middle of it, I saw two huge lights shining in the distance. An invisible suction force arose, pulling me towards the light source below.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that these were not lights at all, but rather the eyes of a giant deep-sea creature.

He was being swept away by the seawater and was flying rapidly into the giant creature's mouth.

"what!"

The employer in real life suddenly went mad, struggling and crawling on the ground using both hands and feet.

With the power field robes in place, Perry couldn't break through his defenses in a short time and could only let him charge around until he finally ran out of the cell.

The effect of "psychological fear" is exceptionally good.

He didn't want to waste time here with the other side, because if he waited too long, a whole bunch of enemies would swarm in.

Perry looked at Ronan in shock. "What did you just do? A mental attack?"

"What's wrong with the new magic you learned?" Ronan asked, turning to ask.

"Is there any way to wake my teammates up?"

"This level of intensity, and besides, you knew they were coming..." Perry exclaimed in sudden realization, "You don't have night vision?"

"No." Ronan shook his head.

"and you……"

"I've always used my mental perception."

Although the cell is now lit up and the two can see each other, Ronan's mental network is still active.

"You... are you really that abnormal? Your mental strength is several times higher than others?"

Perry stared at him as if he were a rare animal.

"More or less, but I think it could be described with other words," Ronan said casually.

"For example, those with extraordinary talents, born supreme beings, the chosen ones of the world, and so on."

"Then why are you asking me? Just use a mental shockwave and everyone on the ground will wake up, right?" Pei Li asked, puzzled.

Are you a magician or am I?

"Won't it damage his brain?"

Ronan was genuinely unaware of this method; his knowledge of psychological attacks was limited to those related to fear.

Perry rolled her eyes. "Can't you control your strength a little?"

"I'll give it a try."

Ronan used a shockwave to unleash his mental energy at the three half-human figures on the ground.

I'm a little unsure about this first attempt, so I can't test it on someone I know.

If too much force is used, it might cause some damage.

Sure enough, his worries were not unfounded.

The three half-human figures slowly opened their eyes under the impact of his mental energy.

However, he had a few minor symptoms: white foam kept inadvertently coming out of the corners of his mouth.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

The man with the mustache was the first to regain consciousness. Looking at the unharmed Ronan, he said with a face full of panic,

"I was forced into this. They said they'd give me all my payment if I could just find a way to bring you here and open that little box..."
