Wrong, my skills refresh every week

The remaining adventurers were completely paralyzed.

The "Bloody Troll" whose body was burned by thunder regained consciousness for a moment. It twisted its legs madly, climbed up, and charged frantically in the direction of Charles.

It knew that it had to deal with this guy! If it didn't deal with him, it would die!

The red afterimage flashed by, and the spasming body fell several times, shattering the earth, but still stumbled towards Charles.

dong dong dong...

The tree roots under his feet were plowed with barbs and pits by the mace, as if they were crushed by a sledgehammer all the way and extended towards Charles.

He secretly said, "Rimuru, save me!"

"Pfft~"

The azure blue slime inside the robe surged, secretly absorbing the scattered magic fragments, and its size expanded rapidly, unfolding a huge slime shield in front of Charles.

Before the Blood Troll could collide with Rimuru, a flash of lightning appeared from the depths of the distant jungle.

"Don't move Ciel!"

Alpha's leather boots, wrapped in violent thunder, accurately imprinted on the disgusting and ugly face of the "Bloody Troll", causing his face to be distorted and burned.

"Roar! Howl! Cry!"

Rumbling--

A bucket-sized bolt of lightning fell.

The impact of the thunder infused with super long power was in a stalemate with the troll's face. The raging lightning gathered with his feet, leaving a charcoal black footprint on the troll's face.

The "Bloody Troll" subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab Alpha's legs, but since he had lost one arm, he just twitched and failed.

Exhausted, Alpha frowned, stepped on the troll's face, and backflipped repeatedly.

At this moment, Rimuru also expanded from a shield shape to a devouring state like a wave.

The azure slime first wrapped around the mace and then spread towards the troll.

The Blood Troll rolled back in a panic, breaking free from the terrifying azure slime that was trying to devour it.

It looked at Charles with fear, as if it realized that the little devil in front of it was not to be trifled with, so it dragged its miserable body and set its sights on other people.

"Baga..." Charles yelled, "What are you doing? It's gone!"

Even though Charles had been holding back the adventurers for such a long time, the collapsed formation was still loose and looked like it would break at the slightest touch.

In desperation, he waved his hands and yelled, "Pochi!"

"Om-"

Gray, white, green, blue, purple, gold, orange, red...

Nine halos instantly enveloped all the adventurers.

A huge force surged out of their bodies. Nar roared, raised his giant shield and blocked the dying counterattack of the "Bloody Troll" with a "duang" sound.

The nine halos, in total, are equivalent to directly improving the attributes of all adventurers by one major level, and also have the effect of restoring physical strength and magicka.

Ciel rubbed his nose and said, "Let me show you what a top-level supporter is!"

But even with an ability value close to level 4, Gnar was still knocked down by a single blow from the low-health "Bloody Troll" and fell to one knee.

"Go ahead and hold it down!"

"Run, you banana stick hammer!"

“Who the hell is a coward! We are the followers of the God of Courage!”

Following Gnar, the elves of the Modi clan roared and launched a special attack. Covered with nine halos, they exerted their level 4 strength and held the troll in place in an instant.

however……

The Modi clan members who were waiting for a counterattack were shocked to find that the gray light circle under their feet suddenly flashed, and the "Bloody Troll" let out a wail, as if it was in great pain.

Relying on its speed that far surpassed everyone else's, it distanced itself from the others and charged towards the magic group on the other side.

Ciel yelled, "Vanguard! Where are the vanguards? Raise your shields! Anyone can block it!"

The collapsed adventurers could only raise their weapons to block. The refined metal sword failed to block the attack of the "Bloody Troll" and shattered in an instant. The mace then embedded into the chest, breaking the ribs, and smashed against a tree trunk in the distance, causing it to collapse to the ground.

At the moment he was knocked away, a gray halo also flashed on the adventurer's body, and an invisible magic power turned into thorn needles, entwined around the "Bloody Troll", dragging out horrible wounds.

"Ahhhhhhh..." The troll wailed as if every step it took was rubbing against the vines and thorns.

The reflected damage of [Halo of Thorns] is not much, even if it is only 10%, it is still 5% of a level 10 attack. For the "Bloody Troll" who is currently on the verge of death, it is like the last tear that cries down the Great Wall.

Feeling his vitality getting weaker and weaker, the "Bloody Troll" pumped his muscles in disbelief, and all the protruding bones in his body were slowly pushed out, with bone spurs scattering in all directions.

Puff puff……

The members of the Modi clan who had gathered around again were caught off guard, shot one after another, and fell to the ground wailing.

The bone spurs also hit Rimuru's body, which was infused with magic power and expanded into a round shield, submerging him in the azure magic quagmire.

“Gu-ka-ka…”

A round of volleys did not bring any advantage to the "Bloody Troll". Instead, it felt that there were more and more shackles on its body, and countless needles were crawling on it with every movement.

The excessive damage backfired, causing its life to end like a candle in the wind.

"Gu..."

The skin was covered in red and steam was coming out of it. The "Bloody Troll" fell to one knee on the ground with a thud, like a defeated warrior.

"Struggling? You... struggle again?" Charles jumped up and sneered.

"We won!" The adventurers couldn't believe it. They actually defeated a level 5 monster like this?

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the troll collapsed on the ground with tears in his eyes, and he banged his head on the ground and wailed like a human.

Nar, who was sitting on the ground, looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment and said in disbelief: "Monster, is he begging for mercy?"

"Idiot! Put an end to it quickly!" Charles realized something and said anxiously.

Nar reacted suddenly, but it was too late:

The "Bloody Troll" who had just been crying and begging for mercy suddenly jumped up and grabbed Nar with its sharp claws.

"Lord Ciel... help!"

"Call daddy!"

"father!"

With a flick of Ciel's wrist and a snap of Pochi's bear claws, the gray ring symbolizing the [Halo of Thorns] flowing under Nar's feet suddenly shone.

The "Bloody Troll" paused for a moment, with a deep fear flashing in its eyes. It swung its sharp claws and dragged a corpse, fleeing towards the depths of the dense forest in the distance.

"It's scared! It's life is like a candle in the wind! We can't let it take away the bodies of its compatriots! Let's chase it!"

Nar's face lit up with joy, he took two steps forward, but was stopped again.

"Stop chasing me! Do you want to die?"

"Why?" Nar was completely confused at this moment. He had always followed the rules and had no experience in dealing with similar emergencies.

"If we don't defeat it now, many people will die next time we encounter it."

Charles cursed, "You're crazy. The more seriously it's injured, the faster it runs. You can't even see its shadow, how can you chase it?"

"But..." Nar wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Charles again.

"But what? Didn't you see that it was disguising itself before it left? As far as I know, that kind of monster would deliberately create a "trap" to gather monsters and lure us into its trap!"

"Besides, didn't you see it just took away the 'prey'? By the time we catch up with it, it will have eaten up the 'prey' completely. By then, it will have recovered and become a 'hunter'!"

Ciel sighed, looked at the wound on the Blood Troll's arm from a distance, and saw the blue sticky substance. He retracted his gaze and gave the command:

"Save the wounded first! The healers should start chanting! Revis! Gather the most seriously injured!"

Under Charles' command, the team quickly completed its repairs.

The casualties were quickly counted.

Aisha's expression was complicated: "The number of supporters led by "noname" who were killed was 23. The vanguard of the clan also sacrificed 3 people, 5 people had their limbs broken, and 30 people were seriously injured."

Most of the people who died were characters she was not familiar with. After coming to her senses, Aisha suddenly realized that even in such a dangerous situation, Charles still had the energy to eliminate dissidents?

No, that's too arbitrary. Or is it that they simply protect their own people very well and ignore outsiders?

"We are lucky. With this kind of casualties, we were able to escape from that monster. That's pretty good." Charles glanced at the current environment and chuckled.

"Thank Goddess of Destiny for your tolerance. That destroyed a level 11 team of 4 people. It's not an exaggeration to call it a great feat to save my life."

Nar recovered and listened to Charles' sarcastic tone. His face turned red and he lowered his head in silence.

He felt that Charles was mocking him. In this battle, he had not used his abilities as a commander at all. He actually relied on a level 1 supporter to save the team and avoid the end of the whole team being wiped out.

The leader of the Modi clan walked towards Charles. One of his arms was pierced by a bone spur and his hand was wrapped in bandages.

He stared at Charles in awe and said with emotion:

"Impressive! You saved us again! It's unbelievable that you're just a level 1 rookie!"

"Also, how did you know the characteristics of the monster? How did you react so quickly?"

Leader Modi apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm not questioning you, but I'm ashamed to say that... we are the seniors, but you taught us a lesson."

Ciel smiled warmly and said, "Isn't it a basic quality of an adventurer to quickly transform the unknown into the known? Mr. Captain, those who don't do this will not survive."

In one sentence, it was like an epiphany.

As level 3, they have long understood this truth, but until they encountered monsters that were far beyond their abilities to deal with, fear and powerlessness had already taken over their IQs.

"You remain calm in the face of such a desperate monster. You are truly a respectable person." Fierceweiss exclaimed with lingering fear.

"That was a level 5 monster, but it was defeated by a level 1. It's really... too crazy." Reeves was shocked. "I just seemed to see you use some kind of light to control the monster in an instant... What was that?"

Ciel shook his wrist and said, "This is a magic item that can bind and tame monsters. You should have seen that I am actually a tamer. My strength cannot be measured by simple level."

"Besides, I'm not as powerless as everyone thinks." Ciel touched Pochi, who was wrapped in gauze like a dumpling, and said lightly: "We were able to successfully repel the enemy, thanks to Pochi, it played an indispensable role."

A flash of joy flashed across Fierweisi's face. Although she shouldn't be happy about her compatriots being killed, she still congratulated them:

"Your hard work has finally paid off?"

"No, no...it's just Farley's power." Ciel said modestly.

Listening to the conversation between the few people, the adventurers who were lying on the ground to recover their strength suddenly understood the whole story. In the previous battle, that wonderful colorful circle turned out to have come from that silly-looking bear?

"Come to think of it, I just had the illusion that I could cast magic infinitely."

"My strength and magic power have also increased significantly, as if I had "upgraded"."

"The speed of escape has also increased..."

"You are so useless! You actually ran away!"

"If we had cooperated well at that time, that monster would never have been able to kill so many of us."

The adventurers quickly turned their attention from Pochi's support abilities to Ciel's:

"No wonder Mr. Ciel can become the vice-captain of "Noname". The surprise attack with the Fire Stone was also amazing. I would never have been able to do such a thing when I was level 1."

"If it were me, there's no way I could bring the Fire Stone into the dungeon."

"That's Mr. Charles's plan!"

"The key is the bear..."

The adventurers' eyes turned red, they seemed to have discovered the secret of why Ciel was so strong.

What kind of magical pet is that! Not only does it have 7 levels of additional performance enhancement, but it is also extremely resistant.

Didn’t you see that the level 2 vanguard was crippled by one blow from that monster, and that the bear was only wrapped in gauze after being hit?

The key is……

The magic bracelet in Charles' hand that can tame and hypnotize monsters is obviously not a cheap item.

Also, the big treasure that the gloomy loli took out was also very luxurious and more valuable than Mr. Charles.
