Chapter 19
Chapter 19
Ophelia forced herself to calm down. She knew that if she could not control and distance herself at the same time, no one would be able to help her.
Corestal once again displayed her amazing ability to adapt in the face of a desperate situation. After hearing Adam's instructions, this girl abandoned all negative emotions and focused on observing Ophelia.
Adam was waiting. Facing a highly mobile opponent, the probability of a direct hit from a fireball was too low. He had to lock down all the possible routes it could take to have a chance of effectively killing it.
Being fast mostly meant that its body was not strong, at least at this stage. Otherwise, if the magical beasts were really so gifted, there would be no space for the human race to rise.
Ophelia became the source of death on the battlefield. Wherever she went, a large number of magical beasts and a small number of acolytes would die.
The magical beasts were not afraid of death, but the acolytes were all panicking.
"Don't come over!"
"Save me!"
"Go away, I don't want to die!"
The three leaders of the organization were also helpless in this situation. They asked themselves, if they were in Ophelia's position, they might not even be able to take one hit.
William shouted, "Everyone, stay close to me and shrink the defensive circle. Don't block the magical beasts' path of attack."
Quentin and Randy walked to William's side and whispered, "This can't go on. If a new high-level magical beast rushes to the deck," they called magical beasts that could use magic high-level magical beasts, "we're done for. We have to kill it first."
Randy looked at Ophelia, who was in a more and more dangerous situation, and his eyes flickered. "But, we don't have the confidence to kill the magical beast without hurting Ophelia …"
Quentin's tone was gloomy. "Then we can only wish her good luck. I believe she will understand …"
It was rare that William did not say anything during the decision-making phase. He decided that if Quentin and Randy attacked, he would stay out of it. "In this case, even if … it has nothing to do with me."
Ophelia was about to die, not only physically, but also psychologically. She realized that she couldn't restrain this magical beast at all. Instead, it was the magical beast that was toying with her and driving her in a certain direction.
In the direction of the Fireball Spell rune group.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
Quentin and Randy cursed. They were staying under the Fireball Rune Group. If this continued, everyone would be in danger in a dozen seconds.
The two of them looked at each other and saw the murderous intent in each other's eyes. They turned around and activated their magic items at the same time, aiming at Ophelia's back.
At the same time, Adam ordered Corestal, "Prepare the spell. Launch in three seconds. Target Ophelia's back."
Upon hearing the location of the target, Corestal panicked even more, but she held back from turning around to question him. She forced herself to believe that Adam would not deliberately frame Ophelia. There must be a reason why he chose that location.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. You can do it, Corestal. You can do it." Corestal repeated in her heart.
"Right now." Adam ordered calmly. Corestal's Fireball flew towards Ophelia without any deviation.
At the same time, the magic items in Randy and Quentin's hands were activated. Three spells were about to hit Ophelia in a second.
Ophelia felt the scorching heat behind her. She knew that the apprentices could not help but make a move. Her heart was dead. "My path as a Mage has not even begun. Is it going to end like this? I haven't learned the Fireball Spell … "
Just then, she heard Adam's voice. "Jump, full force."
Ophelia could swear that this was the most beautiful sound she had ever heard. She did as she was told without hesitation, ignoring the sharp claws in front of her that could tear her apart. She leaped high into the air without hesitation.
It was as if she was stepping on fire.
The Magical Beast was exposed to magic. This was the first time it let out a cry. This cry was a great contrast to its small body. It was unexpectedly loud, like the roar of a land beast.
Facing the three large Fireballs, the Magical Beast had no choice but to give up on its unsatisfied plaything and dodge to the side. It was just a little angry. It was not afraid or angry because it was sure that this kind of magic would not hit it.
Indeed, it did not hit.
For agile enemies, unless their movement space was completely sealed, or the speed of the attack was faster than their movement speed, all direct methods were useless.
"Oh no!" Randy and Quentin's faces turned pale. They had not learned the Fireball Spell yet. The magic items in their hands were their biggest reliance. Although they only used the two that William lent them, it seemed that it would be useless no matter how many more they had.
Corestal was terrified. If the magic did not hit, Ophelia would lose her ability to fight. The next one, or the one after that, would be her.
Adam did not panic. The rune group that had outlined the Fireball Spell was ready to go. The rest of the threads were trying their best to calculate where the Magical Beast could land, as well as the general direction of its next move after landing.
"Now." The probability estimation could not be 655% accurate, but as long as there was a certain possibility, it was worth a try. Moreover, the success rate now was 15%.
Adam waved his hand violently at the side of the Magical Beast. Actually, a mage did not need the help of their body or spells to cast spells. However, it was Adam's first time trying to use a spell in this way. He needed some guidance from his body to correct the direction.
Five Fireballs. Five orange Fireballs that emitted a huge amount of heat flew towards the landing point at the same time.
The Magical Beast was still in the air. It was still fearless and even mocking because the five Fireballs could not hit it. It looked at Adam and decided to get rid of this ugly two-legged creature after landing.
None of the Fireballs hit it directly. However, this Magical Beast landed in the middle of the five Fireballs. The heat wave stimulated it to leap up immediately. Just as it leaped up, the five Fireballs exploded. The layers of shock waves made it lose its balance. What welcomed it was the scorching heat.
"It's a success." Adam said to himself. His calculation was not wrong. The Magical Beast followed his train of thought very cooperatively and finally became barbecued meat under the five Fireballs.
Poof.
Ophelia happened to fall between Corestal and Adam. She was pushed here by the shock waves. The joy of surviving made her smile dazzlingly.
"Thank you."
"Now that you're dead, I'll be in more trouble. It's my turn. " Adam finished speaking and walked to the front. Launching five Fireballs at the same time was far from his limit. The work of the threads was seamless. Now, a small part of his spiritual power had been recovered and a group of runes had been redrawn.
The apprentice group was silent. When Adam used magic for the first time, although they were envious, they did not take it to heart. They thought that they had been too indulgent for the past two months. With a little more effort, they would be able to catch up. However, now they did not even have the courage to look Adam in the eye. They were afraid that he would see the decadence in their eyes. Five Fireballs in an instant.
"Black, did you see wrongly? Could it be that this little guy doesn't have fire affinity? " Wizard Jerome asked Wizard Blake with a strange expression after witnessing the scene in the cabin.
Mage Black said, "I didn't see wrongly. His talent is definitely not biased towards the fire element. As for him being able to cast five Fireballs in an instant …" Mage Black stopped and smiled bitterly. "We all know that geniuses really do exist. We've seen one before, and now we've seen another one."
Wizard Robert nodded. "This is not something that can be explained by elemental affinity. Right now, as long as we have enough mana in our bodies, we can cast hundreds of low-level spells in an instant. This is because our souls can support the instantaneous drawing of low-level runes. But have you ever seen anyone, even someone with superior fire affinity, who can do this as an apprentice? "
"This talent is even more shocking than elemental affinity. The senior wizards in the academy will definitely take notice of him. "Wizard Robert concluded.
Mage Irene was still tasting her wine. The wine had already dyed her lips red. She smiled and said, "Black, you're really lucky. Do you want to protect him? If he dies at sea, your reward will be reduced."
Mage Black shook his head. "No need. With that kid's intelligence and strength, this level of apprenticeship trial won't be a problem for him. And there's one thing you're wrong about. Compared to him, I'm more optimistic about her. "Mage Black pointed at Corestal." Her affinity is the same as mine, and her talent is not bad. No reward can compare to the reward of personally raising an official wizard. "
Adam casually killed the approaching monsters on the deck. At first, he thought that the number of monsters attacking them was due to the difference in numbers. However, after careful observation, he realized that this was not the case. The low-level monsters only knew how to destroy, so they would naturally flock to places with more people. However, the high-level monsters did not seem to be the same.
Their goal was not simply to kill, but to obtain something.
The reason for this conclusion was because in the past few hours, the latest few high-level magical beasts had all ignored Adam and the others and charged towards the organization. Even that body-refining magical beast was the same. This caused the organization to suffer heavy casualties. In less than a day, close to a third of the organization had already died.
"If I have to find a reason, it would be …" Adam looked at the rune group of fireballs.
Adam wanted to verify. Although spiritual power and mana had the power to interfere with reality, they should have no physical mass. In other words, the rune group should be 'void'.
Adam rolled up a fish with his foot and kicked it towards the rune group like an arrow.
Puff! The fish crashed into the second rune and became a pile of meat paste.
"It's them. They have mass. This means that this mass is constantly attracting monsters."
