Becoming a god starts with enhancing fire arrows.

The simulated battlefield is located in a jungle, and is circular in shape, with an estimated area of ​​over a thousand square meters.

The two teams are located at opposite ends of the diameter.

Rhodes frowned as he looked at the surroundings.

The jungle has limited visibility and numerous obstacles, which greatly restricts the output of large-area spells.

But the hunters were in their element in the jungle.

"Everyone keep your distance and watch out for traps," Rhodes warned.

This is the experience he gained from fighting in the jungle.

The remaining four members of the squad clearly knew each other, and upon hearing Rhodes' words, they instinctively looked at Lucius.

Lucius nodded, signaling everyone to carry it out.

He did not want to fall out with Rhodes over command.

Of the four, only Lucius was a warrior; the other three were a barbarian, a wanderer, and a mage.

They formed a protective formation, shielding the three French professionals in the middle.

The six men maintained their formation and moved slowly along the edge of the battlefield.

Everyone was on high alert, wary of any potential enemies that might appear in the surrounding area.

The procession moved forward slowly.

The jungle was quiet; there wasn't even the sound of birds or insects.

Apart from the soft rustling of their footsteps on the fallen leaves, there was no other sound around them.

Ten minutes have passed.

The two sides did not engage in combat during this period, and the team members gradually became restless.

Lucius and his three companions, in particular, clearly lacked combat experience, and their movements became erratic.

Rhodes held his staff in his left hand and placed his right hand on the rapier at his waist.

Is this the opponent's tactic?

Intentionally avoid combat to conserve energy.

Just as I was lost in thought, a flash of red light appeared in the distance.

Several magical missiles flew straight toward Lucius, who was at the forefront.

Immediately following was a wooden arrow.

Lucius was startled. Without raising his shield, he instinctively hid behind a tree and shouted:

"Southwest!"

Everyone's gaze instinctively shifted to the southwest.

In that split second of distraction...

Suddenly, a sharp dagger shot out from the bushes next to one of the wanderers in the group!

The dagger appeared very suddenly.

No one, including Rhodes, reacted in time.

The wandering young man didn't even get a clear look at the attacker's face before he was transformed into a streak of light and teleported out of the simulated battlefield.

Staff reduction!

The casualties came too quickly; it's clear they've been put into an encirclement.

Seeing that he had succeeded in his attack, the attacker turned and ran, disappearing nimbly into the jungle.

Lucius felt a surge of anger: "It was a vagrant who attacked me! McKen, come with me and deal with him!"

Rhodes tried to stop them, but the two had already rushed out.

The barbarian named McKen even went into a berserk state, howling to the sky.

Rhodes knew perfectly well that the one who had launched the sneak attack was not some wanderer, but the veteran hunter.

It would be incredibly difficult for these two to resolve this.

Most importantly, all three physical professions have left.

Two mages and a priest were abandoned here.

"I'm speechless," Rhodes cursed under his breath, but could only helplessly continue giving orders.

Judging from the enemy's firepower, it seems to be several mages and warriors taking turns harassing the enemy from a distance.

They were spread out and covered each other.

Flaming arrows, ice spikes, and a barrage of arrows rained down.

"Direct Fireball!" Rhodes ordered, and continued to harass the enemy with fire arrows.

Paril immediately chanted a fireball spell and released it at the location where the arrow was launched.

"boom!"

The fireball exploded, slowing down the opponent's ranged attack.

"Dark magic, at your feet!"

Paril chanted, and a dense darkness spread out from her, quickly enveloping a small area nearby.

"Retreat!" Rhodes seized the opportunity when the enemy's ranged attacks were blocked and led the two away from the encirclement.

Under the fireball spell, the opponent lost at least one physical damage dealer.

The battlefield is now divided, and the situation here should be four against three.

The opposing team clearly wanted to capitalize on their numerical advantage and continue their pursuit.

Rhodes quickly organized the information.

The three ran frantically, trying their best to create distance and avoid area damage.

The other party emerged from behind cover.

There were four people in total, and they immediately chose to give chase.

The opposing warriors were at the forefront, gradually closing the distance with their own mages by leveraging their speed and strength.

The mage beside Rhodes was terrified.

Her face was filled with terror as she kept looking back at the pursuing soldiers, and finally she simply stopped where she was.

He closed his eyes and focused on chanting the spell.

"Stop chanting! What are you doing?!"

Rhodes shouted.

Unfortunately, the warrior had already reached him in a few steps, raised his longsword, and slashed down at the mage who was halfway through his chant.

Just as the blade was about to touch his head, the mage was also teleported away.

At the same time, a sharp flaming arrow was silently shot out, piercing the warrior's neck from an unexpected angle.

Another streak of light flashed by, and each side lost one member.

The opposing teams were also unfamiliar with each other, and their tactical coordination also had significant problems.

The warrior was so eager to show off his strength that he overlooked the fact that his three mages couldn't keep up with his speed, causing the magic cover behind him to fail.

Despite seeing their warriors eliminated, the three young mages on the opposing side did not stop and continued running towards them.

Why not choose to maintain a numerical advantage and wear them down from a distance?

Rhodes stopped and looked at the three approaching figures, a sense of doubt rising in his heart.

With the physical damage issue resolved, the three novice mages in front of us no longer pose a threat.

Suddenly his eyes narrowed as he noticed that all three of them wore an inconspicuous black bracelet on their wrists.

【Name: Demon-Dispelling Bracelet】

[Type: Disposable Item]

[Quality: Rare]

[Description: Increases the user's agility and strength, and disrupts the enemy's magical flow upon physical contact.]

[Only effective in simulated battlegrounds]

A very practical prop.

Rhodes's internal assessment.

Is this the prop they each spent fifty copper coins to buy?

Not to mention its effects on increasing agility and strength, the mere fact that it disrupts the flow of magic can catch opposing magic-based classes completely off guard.

It's a pity it was probably made specifically for adventurers to test, otherwise I would have really wanted to snatch it and use it as a life-saving item.

Three young mages surrounded and approached Rhodes and his companion.

The female mage on the side suddenly accelerated and grabbed Paril's wrist in two steps.

Paril was about to chant a spell when she discovered that the flow of magic within her body was out of control, and the spell did not take effect.

The female mage on the other side also took two steps closer and reached out to pat Rhodes on the shoulder.

But Rhodes reacted even faster, swiftly drawing his rapier with his right hand and slashing it, leaving a bloody gash on the opponent's palm.

The female mage took a step back, and then the leading male mage pulled a short dagger from his boot, revealing a victorious smile:

"If a mage is to wield a melee weapon, a dagger is the best choice."

"Daggers are easy to carry and much easier to use than rapiers."

As he spoke, another companion pressed a dagger against Paril's neck and slowly lowered it, eventually sending her away as a stream of light.

Seeing that Rhodes' gaze was fixed on him, he continued:

"You've seen our strength and speed; three against one, you have no chance of winning."

"Give up the futile resistance."

"We don't have time to waste with you; we need to deal with your remaining two members."

No.

We estimate that our remaining two members are probably gone.

Rhodes took a deep breath:

"I originally thought your purpose in talking nonsense here was to attract my attention and then let your teammates standing on the side launch a sneak attack."

"I didn't expect you to really be talking nonsense."

As he spoke, a soft white light suddenly shone from his rapier, like the halo emanating from the full moon covered by clouds.

The leading male mage suddenly felt a blur before his eyes.

The next second, I was teleported to the entrance of magic...
