章 11: Attack, Ambush!
編集者: Atlas Studios
"Lenny, Jet! One of you cast Fixed Body, the other cast Fireball!"
"Protect the students first and block the python's movements!"
As the teacher-in-charge of the Magic Academy's student selection this time, Roddy shouted and led the mage apprentices to retreat.
The other two magic teachers were also experienced.
Lenny and Jet both released their spells, and a fireball suddenly shot towards Big Green.
Although Big Green was huge in size, it was as fast as its opponent. With a twist of its body, it dodged the attack.
Boom! Flames exploded beside it.
After Big Green dodged the fireball, a golden light shot into its body like an arrow.
Fixed Body!
Big Green's movements immediately slowed down.
Roddy, who had brought the apprentices to the back, took the opportunity and chanted a spell. A lightning arrow instantly gathered in his hand and he threw it towards Big Green.
Sizzle!
An electric current surged as Big Green hissed. The numbness on its body made it furious, and it lashed its tail at Roddy.
Boom!
The thick tail lashed down, shattering the rocks on the ground.
Roddy, who was watching from the side, felt his heart beating wildly. The other two magic teachers were equally shocked.
Although they were Rank Three or Rank Four Mages, they would not be able to resist this whip attack directly.
When they looked at the python again, a serious expression appeared on their faces at the same time. After exchanging glances, they charged towards the python again.
...
At the same time, on the other side.
Jobs, who had just entered the forest, noticed a strange sound coming from afar.
That was where he had placed Big Green.
Did Big Green encounter a demon hunting team in the forest?
Realizing that something was wrong, Jobs immediately activated the Information Sharing. He saw that a few hundred meters ahead, Big Green was fighting against three mages with very powerful magical auras.
One rank four and two rank threes.
When he noticed this scene, a look of surprise instantly appeared on Jobs' face.
Weren't those people from the Sigt Magic Academy? Why were they here?
However, there was no time for him to think too much about the current situation.
Against three mages who were no weaker than it, it was only a matter of time before Big Green lost, even if it had strength that far exceeded those of the same level.
Jobs quickly rushed towards the battlefield.
As he advanced, he realized something.
Currently, he had the Monster Rearing System and could continuously raise all kinds of monsters.
Although he had never done anything harmful to humans, raising monsters was his biggest problem.
A piece of trash that could not cultivate magic was actually so close to a python that was a low-level demonic beast. It would definitely arouse a lot of suspicion.
At the very least, he would be sent to the Capital City's prison and get locked up for interrogation.
If it was serious, he might even be regarded as an Evil Mage who could communicate with monsters, and he would be beheaded on the cross while nailed to the city wall.
Evil Mages were mages who had fallen because they had mastered dark magic. They did all kinds of cruel things, even sacrificing lives to cultivate their magic.
Therefore, the people of the Shipley Continent hated Evil Mages the most. If they were found in towns or villages, they would be captured by the people and beheaded or burned alive.
No matter what, these two results were not what he wanted to see.
Thinking of that, Jobs secretly made a decision.
That was, before he grew to a certain level of strength, he absolutely could not expose his relationship with any demonic beast, nor could he expose his ability to rear monsters.
Soon, Jobs arrived at the battleground where the three mages and Big Green fought.
At this moment, there were already some wounds on Big Green's body. However, the three mages were not in a much better condition either.
Other than the rank four Roddy who was panting heavily, the other two mages were injured. One of them was grasping his broken arm, while the other had his mage robe torn apart, revealing a large bruise on his lower abdomen.
All three of them were mages. Although their attacks were powerful, they lacked the close combat ability of swordsmen. They did not even have time to recite the incantation of some high-level magic spells.
That was why it was so strenuous for them to fight against Big Green.
However, Roddy suddenly revealed a smile.
He could clearly feel that the python in front of him was gradually losing its stamina. As long as they could seize an opportunity, they would definitely be able to release a high-level spell like Sky Thunder or Exploding Fireball to severely injure it before successfully taking it down.
"Lenny, Jet, let's get ready!"
"Alright, this python has broken one of my arms, so I won't hide my strength anymore. The next fireball will cripple this beast!"
"Lenny, you're already so old. If you can't do it, then don't force yourself. Leave this python to me."
"My Cross Light Awl will teach this beast how to be obedient!"
Lenny and Jet sneered at each other, but Roddy was too lazy to listen to their nonsense. After saying "it doesn't matter who casts the spell", he charged straight at the python.
Seeing that, Jobs' expression sank.
Although he could not expose his relationship with the demonic beast, that was still his pet, how could he watch it get bullied by the humans?
Since they wanted to capture his pet so badly, then don't blame him for being merciless.
"Little Yellow, go!" Jobs immediately gave Little Yellow a command.
A small yellow figure immediately shot towards the group like a sharp arrow.
At this moment, Roddy was charging forward and using all sorts of magic to attack Big Green, providing cover for Lenny and Jet.
Lenny and Jet both stood where they were, holding out one hand and chanting the high-level spells they were preparing to release.
The two of them had been competing with each other since the beginning. They wanted to be the best performer in front of Roddy and obtain his recommendation for a promotion.
A golden and fiery red radiance appeared in their palms respectively.
Both were trying their best to release their magic as quickly as possible so that they could severely injure the python first.
"Jet, I don't think you can do this. With your chanting speed, it's better to retire early at the academy!" Seeing that his fireball was about to finish condensing, Lenny smiled and began to mock Jet.
"Hmph, it's not certain who will successfully cast the spell first. Why are you so anxious?" Jet also snorted back at him.
At this moment…
"This is…" Lenny, who was about to shoot an explosive fireball, suddenly saw a flash of yellow light.
However, what he saw was a large wasp flying in front of him, before he could react, the wasp's stinger had already pierced his neck at lightning speed.
"Uh!" His pupils shrank, as if he was extremely shocked. He was about to shout out in shock, but a strong numbness assaulted him.
Lenny's eyes were filled with disbelief and shock as he plopped to the floor.
"Old fellow, how feeble is your body? You're already exhausted from just casting Explosive Fireball?"
Seeing Lenny fall to the ground, Jet subconsciously thought that Lenny's magic power and stamina were exhausted.
Just as he opened his mouth to mock the other party, Lenny who was falling to the ground glared at his teammate, wanting to tell him the truth.
But at the next moment, a flash of yellow light stabbed into Jet's neck as well.
With a grunt, Jet also fell to the ground in shock.
Roddy was getting more and more anxious as he fought against the python. There were several times when he was almost hit by the python.
He had put himself in danger at all costs so that his two teammates would have enough time to cast high-level spells and heavily injure the python in front of him.
But now, he finally could not take it anymore. He turned around and shouted at his teammates, "Hey, where's your magic spells?!"
But the moment he turned around, he saw his two teammates lying on the ground.
"??!" Roddy was stunned.
What was going on!
However, with his rich combat experience, he immediately realized that there were other enemies here. He immediately activated his Detection spell and sensed the surroundings.
At this moment, Roddy felt a little glad. Fortunately, his two teammates had blocked off the hidden enemy's attack for him, giving him the time to focus on finding them.
But soon, his expression changed.
The reason for that was because he was unable to find any hidden figures no matter how hard he tried.
How was that possible?
He was very sure that as a Rank Four Mage, even a mid-level demonic beast could not hide from the Detection spell he cast. However, he could not sense the hidden enemy at all.
The only explanation was… the other party was not hiding anything at all.
At this point, Roddy finally noticed a wasp flying in front of him. His pupils constricted, and in the next moment, Little Yellow's stinger pierced his body like a flash of lightning.
"Uh!" With a muffled groan, a numbing sensation assaulted his entire body. Before Roddy could react, a ferocious tail whip sent him flying far away.
