The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

Unexpectedly, the first self-developed magic ended in failure.

This magic is quite interesting, and the principle behind it is simple and easy to understand.

It involves using the characteristics of light and fire attributes to create afterimages that can explode.

During the battle, these afterimages and the main body attack each other alternately, constantly disrupting the opponent and affecting their judgment.

Thinking it was an afterimage, he slashed down with his sword, only to find himself nearly blown to death.

Thinking it wasn't an afterimage, it turned out to be Ryan's real body, and he attacked while Ryan was off guard.

After repeating this process several times, the opponent will break down because they will be unable to distinguish between the real body and the afterimage.

As for the inspiration, it came from another world, from an unknown clown in Summoner's Rift.

The idea was pretty good, but unfortunately the actual performance was not good; he didn't even manage to blow off an arm.

Its power has been greatly reduced.

There must have been a slight flaw in the details. We'll work on it after we finish cooking Daniel's meal.

Fortunately, Daniel is still alive. Let's try the next magic.

Ryan regained his composure.

He patted the two Radiant Flame Fireballs beside him, and the Radiant Flame's will, sensing Ryan's thoughts, began to dance joyfully.

After Daniel was seriously injured and fell to the ground in a sorry state, he clearly had the idea of ​​running away.

However, Ryan wouldn't let him off so easily.

Raise your hand, gather your magic power, and in the blink of an eye, an enormous magic circle appears in the sky above your head.

Then, countless light prisms descended from the sky, trapping Daniel, who had not yet escaped, inside!

Two blazing fireballs bounced and hopped into the maze.

"Daniel."

Have you ever played a game called dodgeball?

"If you haven't played it before, this is a good opportunity to experience it properly."

Daniel looked at the prisms around him, constantly refracting light, and knew that he could no longer escape.

He deeply regretted not absorbing more attributes before challenging Ryan.

But there is no regret medicine in the world.

So Daniel gave up and started to do whatever he wanted.

"Ryan!"

"If you've got the guts, then kill me already!"

"What kind of skill is it to torture people!"

Ryan, outside the maze, did not respond, but quietly observed the effects of the magic while keeping watch for Veranika's direction.

In case someone chooses to launch a sneak attack at this time, he can rush over to provide support immediately.

Daniel gripped his knight's longsword tightly, wary of the dense array of light prisms around him. He tried to summon the flywheel gear, but his senses were impaired, making it impossible to pinpoint its location.

"Damn it!"

Whoosh!

A Radiant Fireball burst out from behind the prism in his blind spot, and another Radiant Fireball followed from the opposite corner.

Two fireballs hurtled toward Daniel at incredible speed!

Daniel knew he would surely die if hit by those two fireballs. With the help of his survival instinct, Daniel roared and unleashed his wind magic, narrowly avoiding them.

The two fireballs collided solidly!

However, the explosion that Daniel had anticipated did not occur.

The two fireballs, like two giant bouncy balls, collided and underwent a strange deformation, then, aided by the rebound force, they flew back with a whoosh!

what's the situation? !

Daniel was completely dumbfounded.

Why didn't the two fireballs explode when they collided? Instead, they bounced off each other!

At that moment, Daniel felt like an idiot, knowing nothing and only able to watch the bizarre scene unfolding before his eyes.

Before Daniel could have much time to be surprised, the Radiant Fireballs shot out from the two opposite corners again, heading straight for Daniel.

This time, the speed was much faster than before.

This time, Daniel once again escaped thanks to his survival instincts.

The Radiant Fireball accelerated again due to the rebound force and disappeared into the light prism.

Fireballs roared between the light prisms, and Daniel felt his heart leap into his throat.

That sound was clearly a countdown to his own death!

Damn!

Daniel tried to rush out, but the labyrinth of light had completely disrupted his senses, making it impossible for him to distinguish east from west or north from south. How could he possibly escape?

Whoosh!

The Radiant Fireball strikes again!

Daniel dodged it once again.

The blazing fireballs collided once again, accelerating again through the rebound force.

Daniel can dodge it again and again, but there will always be one time when he can't escape it.

That will be the time when I get killed.

The feeling of waiting to die is simply too agonizing.

"Do not!!!"

"Kill me now!!!"

“Hehehe…” Ryan’s voice came from all directions: “If you want to die, why don’t you just run headfirst into a fireball?”

“F......”

Before he could finish speaking, two blazing fireballs hurtled toward Daniel at near-sonic speed!

This time, he didn't have time to dodge and was hit squarely by the two fireballs.

Fortunately, he still had a residual wind-attribute shield, which allowed him to barely survive.

Unfortunately, this was just the beginning.

Without giving Daniel any chance to catch his breath, four blazing fireballs flew out of the light prism.

Daniel closed his eyes in despair.

------

Daniel's body was burned completely.

A gust of wind completely dispersed all traces of his presence, leaving only dozens of deep craters blasted out by flames on the ground.

Ryan assessed the power of the new magic.

The core idea of ​​using multiple types of magic to collaboratively construct new magic is sound.

However, Ryan was not satisfied with the actual results.

The most obvious problem is that too much of the magic's power was lost during the process, resulting in a final effect that was far from what was intended.

Daniel was injured and restricted by the Labyrinth of Light, yet it still took him a long time to defeat him.

If it were an enemy of equal or even greater strength, it probably wouldn't be so easy.

It seems I still need to improve.

------

"Um......"

"I never imagined Daniel would die so completely, not even leaving ashes behind."

"This deal was a loss..."

The blond youth sat at a distance, looking at the spot where Daniel and Ryan had just fought.

"I thought Daniel was the person I was looking for, but it turns out I made the wrong choice in the end."

The blond youth dusted off his clothes and got up to leave.

But just then, a crow landed on his shoulder.

It opened its mouth, and a strange sound came out of the crow's throat.

It sounded like metals rubbing against each other, extremely harsh.

"The Piper".

"It's time for the assembly."

Chapter 209 The Hermitage

Dense fog.

The surrounding area was filled with a thick, impenetrable gray fog.

At the very center of the gray fog was an enormous round table.

Thirteen seats were evenly placed around the round table.

The blond youth was the last to arrive.

Of course, this doesn't mean he was unpunctual; on the contrary, everyone else arrived early.

They're not exactly punctual guys; on the contrary, they're quite easygoing.
