Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 93: The Blood Mage's initial attacks were indeed somewhat weak.

Supervisor Richie risked his life to instantly shatter the balance.

The power of the light wave in his hand increased instantly, pushing the energy shield backward and gradually approaching the chairman.

The president was startled, then waved his hand.

The iron outer shells of the cylindrical devices around the perimeter were suddenly lifted one by one, revealing the transparent culture chambers inside.

Upon closer inspection, each incubation chamber was filled with an unknown green solution, in which organisms of various races were immersed, most of them young women, including dwarves, gray elves, and even the extremely rare elves.

What infuriated Ronan the most was that he saw Arabella's body in the very center.

At this moment, she was immersed in the solution, slowly exhaling bubbles, still breathing; the solution had the function of sustaining life.

After these incubation chambers were opened, the previously listless president suddenly seemed to regain a great deal of life force and actually fought to a draw with the burning-life-force supervisor, Richie.

The energy shield immediately pushed the light wave back.

Clearly, these cultivation chambers are the president's backup energy source to replenish his life energy!

"I advise you not to act rashly," the chairman suddenly shouted at Ronan.

At that moment, Ronan was about to take action, destroy the incubation chamber, and rescue Arabella.

"These incubation chambers are life-sustaining devices; if you destroy them easily, it's equivalent to killing them prematurely."

No sooner had the president finished speaking than a thick, scorching ray struck them head-on.

He quickly conjured a second energy shield to block the ray attack.

This wasn't the end of it; instead, it set the stage for a ray attack.

A scorching ray shot out and struck the energy shield, followed by a second, then a third—

The "scorching rays" bombarded the energy shield relentlessly, causing it to weaken rapidly.

Instead of sitting idly by, the chairman used some unknown means to further increase the energy extraction from each organism in the numerous cultivation chambers.

This allowed him to catch his breath immediately, and his energy shield was restored to its full state.

This can't go on forever—

Ronan thought to himself, "The chairman's backup energy is obviously the organisms in the cultivation chamber."

So he simply said to Supervisor Richie, "Supervisor Richie, you go and rescue Arabella, I'll take care of things here."

He had already seen Director Richie's temples gradually turning white and his face rapidly aging.

I reckon that in a little while, not only will he be at a stalemate with the chairman, but even Director Richie himself might not be able to hold on any longer.

Let him go and rescue Arabella; now is the perfect time.

Supervisor Richie didn't mince words; he immediately stopped, jumped off the platform, and rushed toward the incubation chamber where Arabella was.

Ronan immediately covered for him, using two rapid beams to suppress the chairman and prevent him from taking the opportunity to attack Director Richie.

Then, without hesitation, he initiated a dual spellcasting, extending his left and right hands to condense two rows of elemental arrows with neutral and ice attributes.

Under the president's astonished gaze, they all flew towards him.

The president clenched his fist and manipulated the energy shield in front of him, transforming it from a shield into a protective barrier that enveloped him from all directions, blocking all the incoming elemental arrows.

He laughed and said, "Your mental strength is indeed far beyond that of an ordinary magician, and has even reached the level of a professional mage."

"It's a pity there are no class seeds; simply accumulating low-quality mental energy is completely meaningless."

The guild leader shook his head and sighed. "I'll let you see firsthand, before you die, just how despairing the gap between class ranks can be."

After the president finished speaking, a dazzling glowing mark suddenly appeared between his eyebrows.

Ronan saw his withered skin instantly spring back, and the white hair at his temples and aged face were disappearing.

He took the opportunity to fire several beams to disrupt the shield, but he was unable to break through it.

I watched helplessly as the president slowly became younger.

During this period, numerous incubation chambers were constantly bubbling, and a continuous stream of life energy was being drawn away by the president through the overhead delivery pipes.

Supervisor Richie arrived at the incubation chamber where Arabella was located and immediately severed the transport pipes above the chamber.

However, this move had no effect whatsoever.

Even without the delivery pipes, Arabella's vitality still slowly overflowed, flying from the air towards the president on the high platform.

"How could this happen?" Supervisor Richie asked, looking puzzled and anxious.

"These were raised by me using the Misty Stone."

Upon seeing this, the chairman burst into laughter: "Even without a transmission pipeline, I can still use it as life energy, it's just a bit slower."

Supervisor Richie suddenly realized that some of the faces in the training chamber did look familiar; they seemed to be trainees who had gone missing in recent years.

Ronan's face darkened, and he immediately fired several beams at the delivery pipes of the other incubation chambers.

Even after the culture chamber was disconnected from the delivery pipeline, the organisms inside continued to bubble.

The situation is the same as Arabella's.

Ronan could sense their life force constantly draining away, flying into the air, and being absorbed by the chairman.

Not only that, he himself also vaguely felt that there was a surge of blood energy in his body that wanted to rush out.

This must be because he used the Stone of the Yin Box; it turns out this stone has this effect.

Seeing that damaging the pipes had no effect, Supervisor Richie decided to simply scoop Arabella out of the solution in the culture chamber.

He suspected that Arabella's condition was caused by this solution.

Ronan immediately said, "Director Richie, it's useless. It has nothing to do with those solutions. It's the connection created by the Chairman using the Stone of the Aura Box."

But Richie didn't believe this and insisted on opening Arabella's culture chamber.

"What do you know! There are no such things as 'Stones of Aura' in this world, only 'Aura of Aura,' and not only does 'Aura of Aura' not absorb life energy, it even replenishes life energy—"

Richie explained to himself, completely ignoring what Ronan was saying.

Through his own experience, Ronan knew that the Stone of the Enchanted Box was the core into which the Chairman anchored and absorbed life energy, and that the solution in the cultivation chamber was only to maintain the organism's survival as much as possible in order to ensure that every bit of biological energy in the organism could be completely squeezed out.

If Arabella is pulled out of the solution, it will actually accelerate the rate at which she loses her life.

However, when Ronan informed his supervisor, Richie, of this specific information, the supervisor ignored him.

Instead, he forcefully lifted the lid of the culture chamber, clearly not believing what he said.

"Do you want to kill her?!" Ronan shouted angrily when he saw that the other party was stubborn.

He's not afraid of incompetent teammates, but he's afraid of teammates who are like pigs who won't listen to human words.

Just as Ronan was thinking about whether to use elemental ice arrows to freeze Director Richie first, an unexpected scene occurred—the outer cover of the incubation chamber suddenly fell down.

This outer shell is made of a special metal that can shield against mental detection; Ronan was previously unable to see inside through his mental domain.

Moreover, its thickness and weight are also extraordinary.

The object fell at that moment, striking the unsuspecting Supervisor Richie directly and crushing him beneath its heavy shell, rendering him lifeless.

Supervisor Richie lost his life as a result.

Although his intentions were good, and he wanted to save Arabella, his stubbornness only made things worse.

It's better this way, so that Arabella won't have to be dragged down with her in the end.

Ronan breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention to the president.

At this time, the president was getting younger and younger, and had returned to the state of being in his twenties.

Ordinary rays could not penetrate the protective shield, and Ronan grew increasingly anxious.

He must stop the chairman as soon as possible, otherwise Arabella will really be drained of her life energy and die.

Ronan tried to use the freezing effect of the elemental ice arrows to freeze the area around the commander and slow down his recovery.

The elemental ice arrows shot continuously toward the guild leader's location, gradually forming layers of solid ice around him.

Unfortunately, the freezing power immediately melted away as soon as it approached the chairman's protective shield.

"Did you feel that despair in the face of absolute power?"

The guild leader, his body now back to its peak, chuckled, "This is the power of class—so many people have risked everything for this opportunity, like moths to a flame."

"For this moment, I endured for more than a decade, betrayed my former teammates and brothers who shared life and death, and even risked my life to become a frail old man."

The president tilted his head back, lost in his self-pity over the years, and said, "Now that you've experienced despair, you should just disappear."

With a flick of his wrist, a massive, blood-red slash hurtled straight toward Ronan.

Ronan instantly cast a "magic shield" and jumped away.

This move is similar to Blood Duke's attack method, but the range and speed are completely different.

Fortunately, thanks to his spiritual perception, he was able to calculate the trajectory of the slash the moment the chairman made his move, which allowed him to barely dodge it.

The president didn't seem to care that Ronan had dodged the attack, and continued, "Do you know why I sent you to investigate? That way you'll create conflict with Director Dick, and I can use that to see your capabilities."

"It seems you're stronger than I thought, managing to kill Blood Duke and Dick while they were both weakened—"

Ronan wondered, "Was this deduced from the battle traces in the passage?"

Unfortunately, it's not very accurate.

"What a pity, from the moment you stepped into the academy, you were destined to be a dead man."

The guild leader shook his head, but his hands moved swiftly. He clenched his fist and swung it sharply, "Let me show you the power I've been pursuing—the 'Blood Pact'!"

Immediately, Ronan saw a blood-red cage suddenly appear beneath his feet, enveloping him.

Similarly, an identical cage appeared beneath the president's feet.

"The Blood Mage's initial attacks are indeed a bit weak, but this move doesn't count."

"Let me show you what ring-level magic is like—"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a loud bang next to his ear.

A moment earlier, Ronan attached the Soul Seed to the Elemental Ice Arrow and sent it to the Guild Master's side.

At this critical moment, he did not hesitate to detonate the original soul seed.

Of the basic functions that the Soul Seed possesses, besides being a camera, its most useful ability is its detonation effect.

Once detonated, the original seed cannot be regenerated and will cause a brief soul shock to the enemy.

For an instant.

The president's mind was filled with the sound of a vast bell, and he was immediately plunged into boundless chaos.
