"Sophie can only release four times a day at most, and you've already released five times. Don't you have any adverse reactions? Don't you feel mentally exhausted?"

Each time a spell is cast, it consumes mental energy.

Mental energy can only be restored through meditation. Even sleep cannot restore mental energy.

A typical novice mage can only cast a basic fireball spell 2-3 times before feeling dizzy and lethargic, requiring 30 minutes of meditation to recover.

Lotte's mental attribute has not been increased and remains at the initial 14 points, which is not enough to support him to cast five fireballs.

There is only one reason: the [Breathing Meditation] taught to Lot by Lord Isolde allows him to recover his mental energy with each breath.

This caused Lot's mental recovery speed to far exceed the consumption speed of the [Basic Fireball] spell!

In other words, Lotte can cast the [Basic Fireball] spell almost without limit.

Of course, Lott couldn't tell Sgel about this skill. He explained, "I have strong mental power and can cast spells many times."

"Many times? Can it be released ten more times?"

"There shouldn't be any problem."

Sgel slowly stopped and looked back at the Mist Bear Spirit that was frantically chasing after him.

"If that's the case... then why are we still running?"

Let's go back and fight it!

"Lotte, are you willing to stay and fight it?!"

"I don't want to."

Lott refused outright.

The risk of defeating the Misty Bear Spirit is too high; he doesn't want to take the risk.

Sgel's voice trembled slightly: "It killed Delia, it killed Cole, it killed Tiles, it killed all five of our teammates. It treated us like food, like animals. I must kill it! If you're willing to stay, you can have a gold coin."

This is a very tempting offer.

Originally, the two gold coins were divided equally among 18 people, but now Lotte can get one gold coin all by himself.

Moreover, the Mist Bear Spirit has already been hit by five of Lotte's fireballs, and the magic has caused it considerable damage.

With the protection of professional adventurers like Stigler, killing it wouldn't be impossible.

Lotte also slowly stopped walking and first looked at Baldr and Hagen.

Both of them nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Lott then said, "Sigel, the three of us will stay in the rear. Do you agree?"

“Agreed. But you can get one gold coin if your magic never stops.”

"no problem."

Sgel slammed his giant axe into the ground, walked to Lot's side, and hugged Lot tightly.

The pent-up emotions of the past few days finally found an outlet, which made Sgel very excited.

He turned to look at the mist bear spirit chasing after him, and struck a pose.

"Mist Bear Spirit, I XXX! We have a mage now, so die!"

Plans have changed; let's hunt down the Misty Bear Spirit!

Chapter 18 The Despair of the Mist Bear Spirit

The fog grew thicker.

The Mist Bear Spirit stopped roaring; it even began to slow its pace, merging its body into the thick white mist.

The suffocating silence made everyone present feel uneasy, as if a bear spirit would jump out from behind them at any moment.

Seger immediately retreated to Lotte's side, and the five of them formed an outer encirclement, while Bald and Hagen were responsible for guarding the inner side.

"Don't panic. Just hold off its first attack. Then we'll keep it occupied and prevent it from hiding again."

Hagen drew his bowstring taut; as the only ranger in the group, he was responsible for scouting the location of the Mist Bear Spirit.

He frowned slightly, raised the bow, and aimed it at the spot in mid-air.

"No way……"

Before Hagen could finish speaking, the fog above everyone's heads was shattered by the bear spirit, which leaped high into the air and pounced down on Lotte in the center!

Hagen immediately released his grip, and the arrow in his hand, leaving a purple afterimage, struck the bear spirit's eye. However, the bear spirit, relying on its momentum, was still able to pounce on Lotte.

The giant axe and warhammer swung out from the bear spirit's two sides, and the two strong men, Bald and Seger, gritted their teeth and unleashed their full power.

Both of them were very strong, and they stopped the bear spirit in mid-air, preventing it from pouncing on Lotte.

"Get entangled with it!"

Sgel gripped the giant axe tightly with both hands, raised it high behind his back, and slammed it down hard on the Mist Bear Spirit's shoulder.

The sharp axe blade instantly sliced ​​through the bear spirit's rough, thick skin and got stuck in its firm muscles.

At that moment, Baldr also leaped high into the air, swinging his warhammer at the giant axe, smashing most of the axe into the bear spirit's body.

The bear spirit roared and hurriedly retreated, its massive body swaying.

Lott suddenly realized that even though the giant axe had cut deep, not a single drop of blood had flowed from the bear spirit's wound.

Upon closer inspection, one can see countless tiny blue threads stitching together the wound, eventually even pushing Sgel's giant axe out of the wound.

At the same time, the surrounding fog visibly thinned out considerably.

This is... the talent of this Mist Bear Spirit? It can rapidly heal sword and knife wounds by consuming mental energy?

"Damn it..." Sgel picked up the giant axe from the ground. "Let's charge in and not let it hide again!"

"it is good!!"

The five people surrounded the bear spirit, giving it no chance to dodge or escape.

The bear spirit stood upright, its height seemingly exceeding five meters. It used its weight to press down on Sgel, who raised his giant axe to block the bear spirit's claws, but the difference in physical strength was too great, and he almost instantly knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, the three people beside Sgel immediately rushed to his side, using their weapons to block the giant axe and joining Sgel in blocking the bear demon's attack. The other person kept harassing the bear demon with his spear, ensuring that the bear demon wouldn't devour Sgel and the others beneath it.

Sgel's body was trembling; he felt like he was about to be crushed. In this state, all the bones in his body were creaking, and he couldn't even utter a cry for help.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an explosion and intense heat came from above Sgel's head, making him feel much lighter.

Lotte's fireball was activated, blasting the Grim Reaper away from Seger.

The fireball struck the bear spirit precisely on the head, causing it to retreat repeatedly, frantically trying to rub the flames off its face with its claws.

Sigel and the others regained their formation, delaying the bear spirit's attack and blocking its retreat.

Three more fireballs.

The bear spirit has been burned beyond recognition and turned into a black bear. It only needs a few more fireballs to fall down.

The persistent burning pain drove the bear spirit to the brink of madness. It stared intently at Lot, roaring as it charged at Lot with flames still engulfing its body.

The bear spirit's enormous figure, enveloped in flames, coupled with its roar, sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

Sgel raised his giant axe to block him, but the bear spirit stretched out its claws and slammed them down on him. The intense heat of the flames made Sgel instinctively turn his head to dodge, but he lost his balance and was knocked to the ground.

A thought crossed everyone's mind:

Oops!

The remaining four hastily blocked the way, forming a single line.

The bear spirit had abandoned all defense; the pain had driven it into a frenzy, and blood was even seeping from its eyes. It smashed through the first person, then used its head to shove the second person into the air.

The last adventurer was sent flying by a giant bear's kick, leaving only Baldr, Hagen, and Lotte, who was still casting a spell, in its way.

The bear spirit stared intently at Lot, at the mage who had caused it so much pain. It bared its fangs, burning with its last breath, and leaped towards Lot, pouncing fiercely!

Sgel struggled to his feet and stared wide-eyed at what he saw.

Ruined.

Baldr cannot stop the bear spirit. With Lot dead, no one can harm the giant bear; everyone present will die!

Bald knew this too, but when faced with the charging bear spirit, he still chose to stand in front of Lot.

He roared and swung his warhammer to smash the bear spirit in mid-air, but was kicked down from behind!

In the critical moment, Loth kicked Bald to the ground. He continued chanting with his staff in his left hand, while drawing his sword from his waist with his right hand and activating [Oath Keeper], personally facing the ferocious beast in the sky!

A flash of white light, and Lotte concentrated all his strength in his right hand. [Oath Keeper Lv.2] greatly increased his defense and attack power, and he unleashed his strongest attack on the bear spirit.

To everyone's astonishment, the mage Lotte swung his sword to meet the attack, actually managing to stop the charging bear spirit in mid-air!

The bear spirit, in pain, swung its claws and slapped Lott away. Lott flew backward and crashed to the ground.

Baldr watched helplessly as Lot was sent flying. He picked up his warhammer, ready to rise and avenge Lot. But amidst the rising dust, a fierce fireball hurtled straight towards the bear spirit!

The golden talent [I'm still alive] activated, saving Lotte's life.

In the bear spirit's eyes, the fireball grew larger and larger until the flames covered its entire field of vision.
