Chapter 40 Unbelievable
The field fell into silence for a moment. Everyone stood still, looking in the direction where the roar came from with horrified expressions.
Ronan's expression became serious. He gently pressed the hilt of the one-handed sword under his robe, pushed away the crowd in front of him, and quickly walked to the front of the team.
Before he could get close, the bushes in front of him suddenly shook violently, and two figures rushed out one after the other, rolling and crawling.
The two wizards were obviously fleeing, their robes were torn and covered in dust.
Seeing a large group of people suddenly appearing in front of him, he was startled, and a huge surprise suddenly appeared on his face. However, the next second he was filled with panic, pointing behind him and shouting: "There is a monster! Run!..."
Before he could finish his words, an extremely strong fishy and rotten smell wafted over from the front.
There was the sound of large tracts of bushes being trampled, and accompanied by a strong wind, a terrifying creature the size of a bison quickly appeared in front of everyone.
It looks like a reptile, with brown-red skin covered with scales, and many black spikes as long as daggers on its back.
The long snake tongue sticks out up and down, and the whole thing looks like a giant lizard.
When the pair of golden animal eyes swept across Ronan, Ronan almost felt as if he was looking into the eyes of a human.
This proves that beneath the cold, brutal and bloodthirsty nature of the monster in front of us, it may also possess intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans.
"careful!"
Old Wells came up behind Ronan with his cane and said quickly and solemnly, "It's a two-headed demon lizard!"
"Then why is there only one head?"
"Once it grows two heads, it will become a first-level magical beast. Only a formal wizard can deal with it..."
Ronan let out a breath, nodded, and focused his attention on the demon lizard in front of him.
In fact, facing this legendary monster, Ronan was not as nervous as he had imagined.
The crisis warning signal brought by intuition was not very strong, proving that the two-headed demon lizard with only one head was only average in strength. What made Ronan feel physically and mentally uncomfortable was its ugly and creepy appearance and the foul smell that kept coming to his face.
"Buzz——"
Without any hesitation, Ronan uttered the syllables, and the mental power in his mind was like the sound of a plucked string. A resonance was achieved, and a large number of free energy particles gathered under his control
. A huge blue-black ball of light was generated out of thin air. As Ronan pointed, it roared towards the two-headed demon lizard in front of it.
"Boom!"
A loud noise was heard immediately, and the ground beneath everyone's feet shook violently.
It was fine for Old Wells and others who had seen Ronan in action, but the other wizards who had witnessed Ronan's strength for the first time were so frightened by the unexpected noise that they stepped back, and their eyes changed instantly when they looked at Ronan.
Although they are all low-level wizards and low-level apprentices, it is not uncommon to see wizards at the mid-level apprentice level taking action.
Is the power of a level zero intermediate spell so great?
The key is, how can the casting speed be so fast? !
Many people stared at the huge pit formed by the explosion where the light ball landed and swallowed their saliva, with shock and confusion on their faces.
"Grass!"
Ronan cursed secretly at this moment.
His spell failed!
The moment he threw it out, he sensed the disappearance of the two-headed demon lizard.
This thing was too fast. Ronan's mental power only caught a fleeting black shadow and then lost the lock on the opponent.
This is the first time that Ronan's [Energy Missile] missed!
"..The Eyes That See the Truth"
Ronan quickly recited the spell silently and performed the [Detection Technique] at a proficient level. A faint white light appeared in his lake blue eyes.
His muscles were slightly tense as he looked around for the trace of the two-headed demon lizard.
The power of [Energy Missile] seemed to have increased a bit. The last one almost drained away nearly a quarter of his mental strength.
Good news. And bad news.
Ronan could clearly feel that the [Energy Missile] was closer to a level above the Breakthrough Expert, but if the next three [Energy Missiles] could not resolve the battle in front of him,
he might have to run away.
"turn up!"
[Detection Technique] quickly captured the traces of alien energy particles remaining in the air, and the Warcraft creatures that were born with energy-compatible physiques had no place to hide under [Detection Technique].
"Buzz——"
Ronan fired another [Energy Missile] directly at a bush.
This time he played a little trick. He kept looking in other directions while casting the spell, and his fingers were deliberately pointing randomly when throwing the missile.
"boom!"
"Roar~——"
It turned out that his little trick really worked.
The second [Energy Missile] accurately hit the two-headed demon lizard that was lurking in the dark. Ronan only heard a shrill roar mixed in with the explosion, and then
the two-headed demon lizard ran away!
"He's really smart. He knew he couldn't afford to offend someone and ran away immediately."
Ronan walked to the landing point of the second [Energy Missile], looked at the small bloody tail remaining on the edge of the big pit, and the mottled bloodstains extending in one direction, and couldn't help but marvel at it.
His heart was pounding and he was still immersed in the battle state just now.
The battle ended quickly, far beyond Ronan's expectations.
Walking back holding the half-broken tail of the two-headed lizard, Ronan was greeted by a gaze full of awe.
Those wandering wizards who had been eager to escape, after witnessing Ronan's powerful strength, now gave up the idea of leaving the team.
Fear is one thing, and another is wanting to build a good relationship with a strong apprentice wizard like Ronan, and preferably get on his good side.
Especially since Ronan looked so young and smart, some of them had already come up to him and offered to carry something for him.
Ronan's expression eased a little. No one would not like to enjoy the respect and awe of others, especially someone of his age.
Just as Ronan was about to throw the severed tail of the two-headed demon lizard to an exceptionally diligent apprentice wizard, at this moment, an unprecedented strong sense of crisis suddenly pounced on him from behind like a ferocious beast and bit Ronan hard on the heart.
"!"
Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and Ronan only had time to flip backwards.
The results of daily hard training [Austerity Body Building] are now evident.
His muscles were tense, and he flipped over with his back suspended in the air in a posture that almost violated the laws of physics, relying solely on his feet to keep from falling to the ground.
And the next moment after he made this move, his face was covered inch by inch by a thick shadow.
A huge and decayed black blade quickly appeared in Ronan's wide eyes. Silently, it brushed past his nose and slashed forward.
The wizard apprentice, who was smiling and stretched out his hands to take the things handed over by Ronan, was swept by the black blade. Under
the shadow, his whole body was quietly separated from the waist and abdomen. In an instant, blood spurted out like a pillar, but his face was still wearing a flattering smile.
"Bang!"
Ronan slapped the ground hard, and then rolled and shot to the side like a struggling fish.
When he stood up again with a serious face, he saw a skeleton more than two meters tall standing quietly in the distance.
It was surrounded by wisps of black air, and was wearing tattered and rotten armor. It held a rusty sword and a shield in its two hands.
Green fire burned in the empty eye sockets without a trace of flesh and blood, staring at Ronan quietly.
At this moment, a light "tsk" sound came from behind the skeleton.
A figure in a black robe strolled out.
He was a plain-looking man with short hair and pale, bloodless skin covered in scarlet tattoos.
He looked at Ronan with a very surprised look, and smiled like a corpse that had just crawled out of a grave.
"It's incredible you survived."
