  Richard sensed silently and felt three strong auras waiting for him in front.

  Of course, what I mean by "not weak" here is relative to an ordinary second-level wizard apprentice. All three auras exceed the ordinary category and reach the superior level. One of the auras has reached the peak of a second-level wizard apprentice.

  It is almost the same as the aura Richard exuded after using Rodrigo's meditation method to conceal his breath.

  Richard was quite puzzled by the fact that three people of such strength came to intercept him. He recalled carefully that he had just returned to the school not long ago, and had been following Celes recently, mainly studying and researching pharmacy, and had not done anything to make enemies.

  "Hehe, as expected, he is the former chief of the freshmen of Ignis School. He is really powerful and can even detect our presence in advance." Three men in black robes walked out of the bushes leisurely, looking as if they were sure of defeating Richard.

  The person who was speaking was the black-robed man in the middle, and the one whose aura Richard sensed had reached the peak of a second-level apprentice.

  All three of them were wearing hoods, with the low-hanging brims covering most of their faces, so their features could not be seen clearly. However, Richard was sure through his own breath that he did not know them, and had never even seen them before.

  "If you kneel down and beg for mercy, you will suffer less." The short man in black robe on the far right added.

  This instantly made Richard look puzzled. How confident was the other party to dare to say such words in front of him?

  And judging from what the black-robed man in the middle said, the four words "New Chief" have already shown that the other party is undoubtedly besieging him, and there is absolutely no possibility of finding the wrong person.

  In that case, there is no need to waste any more words with them.

  As Richard took the first step, a dark element shield appeared on his body. He waved the Bone Summoning Staff and pointed it at the ground. In less than a second, three skeleton archers appeared in the huge inverted pentagram formation on the ground.

  Immediately, the opponent began to frantically dodge the arrows shot by the skeleton archers while quickly casting defensive witchcraft.

  "Instantaneous witchcraft? No, it's silent!" the man in the middle opposite said in surprise.

  An expert can tell whether someone is strong or weak with just one move. Richard's move instantly made the three people realize that they seemed to have seriously underestimated Richard's strength, because the skill of silently casting witchcraft requires an extremely high level of control over witchcraft.

  Generally speaking, only when one reaches at least the master level can one master silent firing. Many third-level wizard apprentices have not mastered this technique.

  In addition, Richard cast the two spells too quickly. The black-robed man in the middle, Lucius Redman, was no mediocre person and had sharp observation skills. He had noticed that Richard's zero-level spell of summoning skeletons took less than one second to cast, which was very terrifying.

  This means that the other party's control over the zero-level witchcraft of summoning skeletons has surpassed the master level and reached the grandmaster level.

  The other two men in black robes also knew from the fact that Richard summoned three skeleton archers that this mission would be extremely difficult.

  "How could Richard be so strong!" Lucius's face under the hood was quite angry!

  "Hurry up and summon your contracted creature, otherwise, we will definitely not be able to resist." The short black-robed man whispered.

  The black-robed man in the middle suddenly emitted a black light, which was the dark element shield. However, Richard noticed that the wooden short staff in the other party's hand flashed with black light. He must have thought that the short staff solidified the dark element shield, which instantly cast the defensive magic.

  The short man in black robe summoned a zombie and immediately hid behind it.

  Finally, the tall man in black robe had a green whirlwind flashing on his body, and his movement speed began to increase rapidly, and he barely avoided the arrow attack.

  At this time, the three of them had begun to feel regretful. Richard's strength was unfathomable. He didn't look like an ordinary second-level wizard apprentice at all. He seemed to be even more difficult to deal with than an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice.

  What was thought to be an easy task turned into a life-and-death battle!

  A sharp bone flute sounded.

  At this moment, Richard felt a ferocious aura that was at least one notch stronger than the three of them, rapidly approaching here from the swamp area nearby.

  Richard smiled slightly. Things finally became a little more interesting and no longer boring. To be honest, the three second-level wizard apprentices still did not arouse his interest.

  However, now there is finally an opponent who is worth watching.

  Suddenly, a huge snake head emerged from the swamp, with a long neck at least seven or eight meters long. Then a wide and flat body appeared, and a pair of long and wide fleshy fins were clearly visible.

  Its upper and lower jaws are relatively protruding, and its mouth is full of angular fangs that are extremely sharp.

  The first time Richard saw the other party, he recognized what kind of creature it was, a swamp plesiosaur, with combat power equivalent to that of a third-level wizard apprentice.

  Feeling the call from its contracted partner, the swamp plesiosaur came quickly. Its original ambush site was more than a hundred meters behind.

  But as soon as the swamp plesiosaur arrived, it felt that the person it was dealing with this time was not simple. As a creature with far sharper perception than humans, it could feel the volcanic energy lurking in Richard, as well as a faint sense of natural threat.

  If the plesiosaur knew that the person opposite had killed hundreds or thousands of monsters like it, it would know that its perception was really sharp.

  Originally, it wanted to carefully sense the enemy before attacking, but the urging of the contract object beside it forced it to launch an attack immediately.

  Feeling the huge threat from Richard, it immediately used its innate witchcraft - Surge.

  The swamp plesiosaur opened its fleshy fins that were more than ten meters long and vibrated at high speed, "whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

  Suddenly, the silt and turbid black water on the surface of the swamp surged up like waves, rushing towards Richard and his three skeleton archers in layers.

  The mud and turbid water are like wave after wave of huge waves, making a roaring sound like a tsunami.

  As the seven or eight meter high mud rushed towards Richard like a debris flow, Richard remained calm. He waved his hand, and a dark element hand with a diameter of nearly three meters immediately appeared out of thin air. He swung his palm down, instantly splitting layer after layer of debris flow waves and rushing straight towards the swamp plesiosaur.

  There was a flash of bone light on Richard's body, as he was putting on a skeleton armor.

  Then Richard put a set of bone armor on each of the three skeleton archers and ordered them to continue fighting the three men in black robes.

  A lion still needs to use all its strength to fight a rabbit, which is a kind of caution.

  Richard drew out the knight's long sword with his right hand, followed closely behind the shadow hand, and rushed straight towards the plesiosaur, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him at an extremely fast speed.

  Richard, who is already a high-level knight, has now surpassed the speed of the third prince William, who was known for his speed half a year ago.

  The swamp plesiosaur was feeling discouraged when it saw that the surge was broken by the opponent's dark element hand, but when it saw that Richard dared to rush over, its face lit up with joy, because it had another innate ability - Hundred Splitting Strike, which required close combat.  

  The swamp plesiosaur stretched out its long neck and in an instant, used its sharp jaws to stab out dozens of times like lightning.

  Every time it hit the ground, mud would splash and form a hole several feet deep, which shows how strong the attack power is.

  On the other hand, Richard's figure was like a butterfly flying among flowers, dodging the lightning-fast blows from the plesiosaur's sharp jaws. The few times he couldn't dodge, he used his skeleton armor to resist them.

  The hardness of the skeleton armor was beyond the Swamp Plesiosaur's expectations. Its sharp jaws only managed to break the bone spurs on the surface, but it itself was dizzy from the recoil.

  Richard saw that this was a good opportunity.

  Richard jumped high, aimed at the long neck of the plesiosaur, and chopped it down with a heavy sword, with an additional skill of high-speed vibration.

  In an instant, like a hot knife cutting through butter, it cut through the hard scales, extremely tough muscles and bones on the neck, and the slender neck of the plesiosaur broke!

  The incision was as smooth as a mirror. The next second, several meters of blood gushed out from the incision like a bloody fountain, drenching Richard under the white armor like a bloody killer!

  As for the Level 2 peak wizard apprentice who signed a soul contract with the plesiosaur, Lucius Redman, screamed and fell to the ground as the plesiosaur died, almost dying at the same time as the plesiosaur.

  Richard saw it and understood why the swamp plesiosaur, which was one level stronger than it, was willing to obey the orders of someone weaker than it. It turned out that the two parties had signed a soul contract.

  Signing a soul contract means that if one of the parties to the contract dies, both parties will die.

  But there is one big advantage of signing this contract, that is, for a wizard apprentice, it allows him to sign a contract with a creature that is much stronger than himself. In other words, once the soul contract is successfully signed, it is equivalent to having an extra powerful combat pet, and his strength will increase instantly.

  Therefore, in the wizarding world where strength is paramount, many wizard apprentices will choose this shortcut.

  However, there is no such problem with the blood oath contract. The death of the creature in the blood oath contract will not have much impact on the wizard apprentice.

  However, the blood oath contract also has three major disadvantages. The first is that when the contract is signed at the beginning, the strength of the contracted creature must be lower than that of the wizard apprentice.

  In addition, regular feeding of essence and blood is required.

  The last point is that if the strength of the contracted creature gradually exceeds that of the wizard apprentice, the blood essence it requires will increase greatly, and one day the wizard apprentice will be unable to provide it, resulting in the contracted creature's defection.

  Richard signed a blood oath contract, but he was confident that his strength would improve faster than that of the Soul-Eating Spider.

  At this moment, the scene of Richard easily killing the swamp plesiosaur that was comparable to a third-level wizard apprentice made the other two men in black robes scared to death.

  The will to fight was lost in an instant.

  This is probably what it means to capture the leader first.

  "Richard, stop! I request to redeem my life based on the noble principle of redemption with gold! As long as you sign a contract with me, I am willing to pay a price of one thousand magic stones." The short man in black robe shouted hurriedly.

  "Me too, me too. I want to redeem my life, too! I know the location of an ancient wizard's ruins. As long as you sign a contract with me, I will tell you immediately." The tall man in black robe shouted as soon as he saw his teammates surrender.

  Richard smiled slightly, and just when the two thought that Richard was going to agree, the skeleton archer shot two arrows and hit the two men's throats directly, killing them on the spot.

  At this moment, the corpse bird in the short black robe slipped from his limp hands. It seemed that he had never expected that Richard would kill him without any hesitation, leaving him without even the time to release the corpse bird.

  An exquisite sheepskin scroll also slipped from between the fingers of the right hand of another tall man in black robe. It seemed to seal some powerful witchcraft, but it was obvious that the counterattack plan failed and it would take time to release the scroll.

  "Doesn't Richard care at all why he was ambushed and killed?"

  There was a strong look of unwillingness in the eyes of both of them, and they couldn't understand why. Under normal circumstances, wouldn't they have to ask a few questions before killing?

  What Richard did was totally against common sense!

  At this time, the Soul-Eating Spider quickly crawled out of Richard's arms. Now the Soul-Eating Spider was smaller in size, only the size of an ordinary person's palm, but its color had changed.

  From its original white color, it gradually turned into crystal color, and now more than half of its body has completed this change.

  It is said that when the Soul-Eating Demon Spider's body color turns completely into crystal color, it means that it has entered maturity.

  The Soul-Eating Spider was now devouring his soul, so there was no need for Richard to perform spiritual magic anymore.

  One after another, four extremely thin but extremely pure ownerless mental powers were fed back from the Soul-Eating Demon Spider and flowed into Richard's sea of ​​consciousness. But the most crucial thing was the trace of pure soul energy mixed in it.

  Suddenly, a tingling sensation came over and over again, instantly making Richard feel like he was floating in the air!

  Since returning to the school's residence, Richard hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time.

  From this perspective, Richard actually hopes that the more wizard apprentices come to hunt him down, the better. As long as the official wizards do not take action, he is not afraid of anyone at the moment.

  When the Soul-Eating Spider crawled into the bodies of three second-level wizard apprentices and searched their memory fragments, Richard realized that he seemed to have always underestimated forces such as the Mutual Aid Society.

  Although these three second-level wizard apprentices all came from the Ring of Noth, they quickly locked onto Richard through the alien version of the "fellow townsmen's association" - the Ignis School's mutual aid association.

  This time, they attacked me because they received a bounty worth 500 magic stones.

  As for the client of the mission, in the memory of the black-robed man who signed a soul contract with the swamp plesiosaur, he was shown to be a third-level wizard apprentice of the Ring of Noth, named Joachim Frisius.

  But Richard frowned, he was sure that he definitely didn't know this Joachim, and the only time he had crossed paths with the Ring of Noth was when he killed the red-haired girl Jenna and two other people.

  It seems that I was being targeted probably because of this incident.

  However, it had been half a year since this happened, and they were still staring at him? Could it be that this third-level wizard apprentice named Joachim Frisius was the boyfriend of the red-haired girl Jenna?

  If so, it would make sense.
