The villain really doesn't want to steal the heroine.

In fact, this idea was correct. The Duke's Palace guards and the royal secret guards on the other side of Lake Bell did not fight. The royal secret guards thought that the Duke's son had been killed in the explosion, so they investigated from a distance and then retreated.

Meanwhile, in the luxurious dormitory, Wan Xing, who was sitting on the sofa, was waiting for Luo Ai'er to prepare dinner while using the magic prop on his wrist to send a message to another steward of the Duke's Mansion, asking him to go to Lake Bell and bring back the guards.

As for why Wanxing didn't bring a guard team when he returned, as a young master, he didn't need to explain to his subordinates. It was good enough that he sent someone to notify them.

After sending the message, Wan Xing began to think about revenge - the enemy had sent assassins to kill him, so why couldn't he fight back?

Although he killed all the assassins in the previous wave, those who died were only the subordinates of the mastermind behind the incident.

As long as the mastermind behind this assassination is not killed, the revenge for this assassination will never be over!

Wan Xing could guess the true identity of the mastermind without any investigation.

Because apart from the emperor of the Magic Empire, the only one who can command the Royal Guards is the eldest prince who is the first in line to the throne.

As the future king of the Magic Empire, he would gain the loyalty of some of the royal secret guards in advance. This was one of the reasons why other ambitious princes and princesses chose to flee the imperial capital.

If they stayed in the imperial capital, not only would the resources and connections be monopolized by the eldest prince, but even their lives would be in his hands - while the emperor was alive, their lives were safe, but once the emperor died, the royal guards would immediately force these ambitious princes and princesses to commit suicide to avoid affecting the new king's ascension to the throne.

This is getting off topic. Anyway, Wan Xing knew that the mastermind behind this was definitely the eldest prince.

As for the reason for assassinating him, it is easy to guess. It is probably because he has been very close to the First Princess recently.

Although due to Wanxing's early interception, the male protagonist Long Gu Kaiwu and Dafuliya will always be strangers, his approach to Dafuliya will not attract Long Gu Kaiwu's attention.

But it will inevitably lead to the dissatisfaction of the eldest prince - the eldest prince certainly does not want Devilia to get the support of Duke Russell, causing unexpected twists and turns in the succession to the throne, which should have been a foregone conclusion.

Wanxing had always ignored this problem before, because his imaginary enemies had always been heroes and demon kings, and he did not take the eldest prince, a villain who would also die at the hands of a hero, seriously at all.

It was not until now that he understood that although he was a villain, after intercepting the heroine Davilya, he was also enjoying some of the treatment of the protagonist, so naturally, he would also share some of the hatred that should have belonged to the protagonist.

This is what is called the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!

I believe that as he continues to seize opportunities to become the protagonist, he will definitely have more and more responsibilities in the future.

However, Wanxing is not afraid of responsibility. To be honest, the only people who can scare him in this world are the heroes and the demon king.

He wasn't targeting the eldest prince, he just wanted to say that enemies other than the brave warriors and the demon king... were all trash!

Since Wan Xing wanted to avenge the assassination and knew the true identity of the mastermind behind it, he was not even afraid of the other party.

So what happens next is he just goes straight to the house to seek revenge?

Definitely not, because Wan Xing’s confidence in not taking the eldest prince seriously does not come from the current power of the Duke’s Mansion.

Instead, it comes from plug-ins that can be upgraded quickly and have no bottleneck restrictions!

As long as the level is raised, the power of the eldest prince will be nothing but a chicken and a dog in the face of absolute strength and will be vulnerable!

At that time, he could even learn from the heroes in the game and slaughter the entire royal family of the Magic Empire.

Therefore, the most urgent thing for Wanxing to do now is to go to Russell Maze to kill monsters and level up.

A man of high ideals does not need to be impatient to seek revenge, nor does he need to wait for ten years like a gentleman. Only one year is enough to avenge the assassination!

As for whether he would be further assassinated by the royal guards sent by the eldest prince during the monster-killing and leveling period, Wanxing was not worried at all.

Because the strongest Royal Secret Guard is only at the super level.

A hero-level strong man is either the boss of a faction, or a great noble of a territory, or the leader of an S-level adventure group. Why would these people become death warriors in the Royal Secret Guard?

But if it was just a super-class stealth assassin, Wan Xing would not be afraid at all.

If there are many assassins, just let Xingyi use space movement to take refuge in the dragon's nest. Although leveling up by killing water monsters at the bottom of Lake Bell is not as fast as in the Russell Maze, it can be used for a while.

If there were few assassins coming, he would just kill them directly and gain experience points to level up.

The super-level stealth and four high-level stealth just killed increased Wanxing's magician level, warrior level and Xingyi's LV32 experience bars to 44%!

From this we can see that killing people to level up is not a bad idea, but the principle of "I won't offend others if they don't offend me" by Wanxing people makes him more inclined to kill monsters to level up.

……

The next day, Wanxing, along with his little maid Loelle and his familiar Xingyi, rushed all the way from the 30th floor of the Russell Maze to the 35th floor!

Originally, he planned to focus his main energy on school, and after learning enough high-level magic and high-level fighting skills, he would go to Russell Maze to kill monsters and level up.

But a trip to the Dragon's Nest allowed Wanxing to accelerate his short-term planning.

Because the butler and the guard captain's cultivation couldn't keep up with the progress, they couldn't help him upgrade.

That's why he needs to be self-reliant and learn advanced magic and fighting skills to speed up the efficiency of monster killing.

But now Xingyi has learned [Multiple Dragon Breath]. This dragon language magic far exceeds high-level magic in terms of coverage and lethality, and its power will continue to increase as Xingyi's level increases!

Therefore, Wanxing can completely hand over the task of killing monsters to Xingyi. As for high-level magic and high-level fighting skills, it is not that he will not learn them, but he can learn them slowly while upgrading, so there is no need to rush.

Chapter 37: Ungraded Magic

The 35th level of the Russell Labyrinth is an underground cavern with many paths leading to it. The only light source is the blue crystals on the roadside that emit a faint blue light.

The passages in the underground caves are not only as numerous as a maze, but also have a very large total area. If you don’t prepare enough supplies, it is easy to get lost in them, or even starve to death due to running out of food.

Fortunately, Wanxing has a storage ring, which contains enough supplies for him and Luo Ai'er to survive for more than a month. Not only that, if they really get lost and can't find the exit, he can also let Xingyi use [Space Movement] to return directly to the dormitory, so there is no need to worry about supplies.

The monsters on this floor are LV35 demon spiders. They are distributed very densely and look very disgusting. If someone with trypophobia comes here to fight monsters, he will probably collapse on the spot.

However, Wanxing does not have a phobia of claustrophobia, and for him, the more monsters there are, the better!

Anyway, he didn't need to put in any effort. The one who really killed monsters was Xingyi, who was floating around him and killing crazily.

When Xingyi was flying, it was round in the front and gradually became flat in the back. It looked like the water drop in "The Three-Body Problem" that made 2000 noises in the universe.

"咿咿~"

Xingyi let out a cheerful cry while running around. The moment it got close to the demon spiders, it suddenly expanded. From its original size of a watermelon, it expanded into a giant azure curtain, unscrupulously swallowing groups of demon spiders into its stomach.

The Demon Spider is a typical monster with high attack and low defense. It stands only two meters tall and resembles the jungle spider from the movie "Starship Troopers." The Demon Spider possesses two innate spells: a control-oriented web spitting spell and a damage-oriented venom-spitting spell.

It is very difficult for ordinary high-level warriors to deal with it. The criss-crossing spider webs will make it difficult for them to move, and the venom can corrode their shields and armor. It is simply a nightmare existence.

But the warrior level was only high-level Wanxing, and he didn't care about these demon spiders, whose number was so large that it made people's scalps tingle and shudder.

He was seen walking forward leisurely and calmly, holding a book of advanced fire magic (human version) in his hand, flipping through and studying the advanced fire magic that interested him. Occasionally, when he was in the mood, he would cast a spell on the spot to test it out.

As for those magic spiders, they were simply ignored by Wanxing, because Xingyi completely restrained these magic spiders with high attack and low defense.

Through the familiar contract, he could see the demon spiders that were swallowed by Xingyi into the stomach space, waving their forelimbs to continuously attack the surrounding air walls, and spitting out the spider webs and venom in their mouths without paying, but they could not attack anything.

After just a few seconds, the vitality of these demon spiders was completely corroded, and their corpses quickly lost their pigment and turned into dust, leaving only a pile of demon stones in the stomach space.

Then Xingyi would fly back and spit out the magic stone like a treasure, and circle around Wanxing while calling "yiyi". From time to time, her slippery body would come up and rub against Wanxing, and she would even stick out her tongue and lick Wanxing's cheek like a kitten.

Although Wanxing knew that Xingyi's current tongue was not a real tongue, but was deformed using the plasticity of her body, and was no different from other parts of her body.

But Wanxing can still feel Xingyi's deep attachment and joy for him!

But what he didn't know was that Xingyi was not imitating the kitten's coquettishness to its owner, but was imitating his previous actions towards Davilia - because Xingyi saw that her owner was very happy at that time, so she also wanted to make her owner happy.

Sure enough, adults need to stay away from children when they are doing things, otherwise they may easily lead children astray.

At that time, Wan Xing not only did not pay attention to this, but asked Xing Yi to help clean up the scene. How could this not be a bad lesson?

The main reason was that he didn't expect Xingyi's IQ to grow so fast. Indeed, from a general rational point of view, the IQ of slimes is very low, but Xingyi has half the blood of the Dragon King. Because the dragon clan has blood inheritance, generally a dragon has the IQ of a ten-year-old child when it is born, which can be said to be innate knowledge.

People like Xingyi who have the blood of the Dragon King are even smarter, but her slime appearance is too deceptive, making it easy for people to subconsciously think that she is stupid and naive.

This has led to Wanxing still not realizing the seriousness of the problem until now.

He simply patted Xingyi on the head to show encouragement, and put the magic stone she spit out into the storage ring, then praised her: "Well done!" and continued to leisurely flip through the magic book.

Encouraged and praised by her owner, Xingyi became more convinced of the correctness of her action - this action really pleased her owner, and her happy life of "flying onto the tree and becoming a phoenix" in the future is just around the corner!

So she continued to peropero her master a few times in a well-behaved and sensible manner, and then continued to kill monsters with full confidence.

Wanxing was unaware of Xingyi's misunderstanding. He was completely immersed in the magical world of high-level magic. He slowly stretched out his left hand, moved his mouth slightly, and silently recited a long magic spell. Then his mental power shook violently, and the fire element in the surrounding space also fluctuated.

This microscopic change manifested itself on a macroscopic level as countless glowing red particles appeared out of thin air. These red particles quickly gathered towards Wanxing's hand, becoming more and more numerous until they finally coalesced into a ball of red liquid.

Wan Xing extended his right hand and gently stroked the red liquid, feeling its warmth. After a moment's thought, he simply plunged his hand into the liquid. Aside from a sticky sensation, there was no pain or burning sensation. This was a dangerous move, so please do not imitate it until you reach the highest level of magic!

Because every fire element in this ball of red liquid is controlled by Wanxing's spirit, it will not hurt him.

Wanxing retracted his right hand and continued to cast the spell. Red particles appeared around him again and rushed into the red liquid in Wanxing's left hand like moths to a flame.

As more and more fire elements gathered, the red liquid gradually turned into a crystal clear pure white solid. Then, there was a "sizzle" sound, and the air around the pure white solid was ignited in a distorted high temperature, forming a fist-sized fireball.

Although this fireball is smaller than the fireball spell released by the basic fire magic, the bursts of scorching heat emanating from it are countless times more terrifying than the fireball spell!

Wanxing knew that what was ignited at this moment was only the fire element in the air, and the pure white solid in the core part had not yet truly unleashed its power!

The magic he cast was not, strictly speaking, high-level magic. It was not classified into a specific level, but it required at least all the magic power of a high-level magician to release.

As more magic power is injected, the power of this magic will be further enhanced.

Now that Wanxing has injected all of his magic power, he must find a target to release this magic.

Chapter 38: Improvement of Combat Power

Fortunately, he was in a maze at the moment, not in a school classroom where he was restricted, so he didn't have to worry about hurting others by mistake.

The thing that the maze has the most is monsters used to test magical effects.

Wanxing ordered Xingyi to stop killing monsters temporarily and retreat in front of him through the consciousness connection - the objects that Xingyi can devour are not limited to organic or inorganic matter, but also include skills and magic, so it can be used for defense.

Without Xingyi's suppression, the demon spiders that were constantly refreshing in the distance suddenly swarmed in.

[O fire element surrounding me, now, melt into the crimson wave and penetrate heaven and earth! Explosion!]

As Wanxing silently recited the last spell of this gradeless magic, a crimson magic circle appeared above the group of demon spiders.

“Swish—boom!”

A huge white fireball descended instantly, blasting a large section of the underground cave. The group of demon spiders naturally could not escape and were evaporated on the spot by the white fireball.

At the same time, Wanxing also received a system prompt:

【Experience value is full, level up! 】

[Magician Level: LV32-LV33] (Current Experience Value 1%)

[Warrior Level: LV32-LV33] (1% of current experience value)

[Level of your familiar Xingyi: LV32-LV33] (1% of current experience value)

The tremendous magic power and fighting spirit added during the upgrade greatly alleviated the symptoms of emptiness and lack of magic that Wanxing suffered after releasing this gradeless magic.

Yes, the name of this gradeless magic is [Explosion Magic]!

The reason why Wanxing is ready to learn this magic is mainly because it is so suitable for him!

First of all, in terms of power,

[Explosive Magic] Regardless of the magician's level, all the magic power of the caster will be drained at once.

Compared with the terrifying magic power consumption, the destructive power of [Explosion Magic] is naturally just as terrifying!

When the high-level magician's magic power is exhausted, only a red magic circle will appear.

If the magic power of the super magician is exhausted, an orange-red magic circle will be added.

By analogy, every time the caster advances a level, one more magic circle will be added, and the destructive power of [Explosive Magic] will increase by leaps and bounds.

After Wanxing learns other high-level magic, although it can be used for a period of time, when Wanxing needs to fight against super-level monsters in the future, it will seem a bit weak.

Relatively speaking, [Explosive Magic] can be used continuously. Even when Wanxing is upgraded to LV100, it is still the most destructive magic in the same level. It is equivalent to a top-level inheritance with "serious flaws"!

In short, you can learn it once and use it for a lifetime, which is very cost-effective!

Secondly, in terms of side effects,
