Clinging to the Witcher world to become a god of martial arts

"Rudolph, are you crazy?!" Lauren said, unusually swearing.

Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to offend a formal wizard.

"But we've already broken in..." Rudolph advised Lauren, "The wizard won't delve into the reasons."

Yes, the wizard doesn't care whether you do it intentionally or unintentionally. Once you are discovered, you will all die.

Lauren wavered. Since she had already offended him, she might as well go all the way.

"If you could possess a wizarding artifact, you'd eventually become a full-fledged wizard." Rudolph's words echoed in Lauren's ears.

"Once you become a fully-fledged wizard, will you still need to worry about a wizard at your level?"

This is bad... Lorne frowned. If Lauren and Rudolph took the wizard's artifact, he would definitely be affected as well.

After all, the reason the team ended up here was thanks to him.

"Lauren, it's not too late to leave now!" Lorne grabbed Lauren's hand and started to walk out.

"No, Lorne." Lauren's opinion shifted in a few sentences: "Rudolph is right."

Lorne's heart sank to the bottom; choosing to join this team was a terrible decision!

His original intention was simply to earn some magic crystals to buy a few bottles of spirit-enhancing potions to accelerate his advancement as a wizard apprentice.

It's clear that things are getting a bit out of control.

Lauren was indeed tempted.

"This is just a simple protective magic circle." Lauren's gaze was fixed on the ring on the platform. "It can be broken without much effort."

He was already consumed by greed; Lauren was determined to have that ring!

Wizard artifacts can dramatically enhance a wizard's power, especially this ring which gathers the energy of an entire fire elemental zone.

Lauren had already imagined taking the wizard's artifact, becoming a full-fledged wizard, and entering the Black Tower to obtain official status.

He rummaged through his small bag, looking for runes that might be useful.

A strange noise suddenly came from the small space—"Crack! Crack!"

A booming sound emanated from Lorne's body: "Lauren, I'll only say this once, get out of there!"

Choosing to turn against the two at this point would not be a wise choice.

Without his Blood Boiling state, Lorne cannot guarantee that he can suppress a knight and a wizard apprentice.

However, if the two are allowed to take the wizard's artifact, then they will be facing a formal wizard in the future!

Although the group had broken in, they would be fine as long as they left quickly. However, if they took the wizard's artifacts, they would inevitably be hunted down by the person who set up the formation.

Who knows if there are any tracking mechanisms set up on the magical artifact!

The current situation can only be stopped by force; words are useless in the face of human greed.

"Lorne, intentionally injuring someone at the Black Sun Tower will be severely punished," Rudolph reminded him from the side.

[Fist Bone] - Bonus!

"I just wanted to stop you two from doing this," Lorne said helplessly. "I didn't mean to hurt you."

"Then let's have a friendly spar." Rudolf slowly drew his longsword. "Lauren, focus on breaking the magic circle."

"Please don't make things difficult for me, Rudolf." Lorne didn't want to fight him.

With a slight hesitation, Rudolf had already appeared in front of him in a flash, sword in hand, and thrust the hilt of his sword at himself.

After witnessing the power of that punch, Rudolf suppressed the urge to challenge Lorne several times.

A knight also has a fighting spirit, especially when he encounters a strong opponent.

Lorne dodged the blow by turning to the side, but Rudolf's left straight punch quickly followed.

Due to the cramped space, Lorne chose to block with his arm.

This is the second battle I've fought since arriving in this world, but my opponent is no longer a ragtag knight like Andrew.

Instead, he was a noble knight with rich combat experience. Rudolf's strength, speed, and combat awareness were almost on par with Lorne's.

This was still the result of him choosing to hold back, not revealing his killer moves or using his breathing techniques.

A single misjudgment put Lorne in a passive position.

"Use that ground-shattering move you used!" Rudolf cornered Lorne step by step against the wall.

On the platform, Lauren had already completed the formation of a spell: "Dissolve!"

"laugh--"

Severe corrosion occurred on the platform.

The transparent protective barrier reacted violently, like metal reacting with acid.

The raging flames, after a brief period of gathering, were extinguished as if covered by water, quietly dissipating, accompanied by billowing smoke.

Lorne was very clear about his purpose: not to compete with Rudolf, but to prevent the two from taking the wizard's artifact.

Muscles trembled, bones roared!

Cornered, Lorne unleashed the power of his double stack to blast Rudolf away.

Because the range of motion was very small, he didn't have a chance to build up his strength, so the power of his punch was a bit lacking.

Rudolf couldn't stop retreating, the slightly trembling blade of his sword making his eyes widen.

Terrifying power!

He had to admit that even with his diligent physical training, he couldn't unleash a punch as powerful and fierce as Lorne's when he went all out.

Lorne did not launch another attack, but instead charged straight at Lauren.

Oh no, he's not targeting me... Rudolf sprints to stop Lorne.

But Lorne was clearly faster; he pressed down hard on Lauren's shoulder: "I told you, get out of here!"

"Ah!" Lauren was startled, and her body trembled.

A brief moment of distraction caused him to lose his balance—and flames burst forth from the platform.

Lorne forcefully threw Lauren off the platform, then turned and blocked Rudolph's attack on his head with the blade of his sword.

A burning sensation came from my back; I guess I was burned by the flames escaping from the platform.

"Captain, raise your sword and strike the barrier with all your might!" Lauren shouted. "Just one more blow!"

Upon hearing this, Rudolf quickly released his grip, raised his longsword high above his head, and aimed it at the center of the platform.

Don't even think about it... Lorne kicked Rudolf off the platform.

In just a short while...

While Lorne's attention was focused on Rudolph, Lauren quietly climbed onto the platform...

As soon as he turned around, Lauren removed the barrier protecting the ring in an instant.

Was he tricked? Lorne realized belatedly.

"Sigh." He sighed and chose to put his hands down.

The barrier has been removed, so there's not much point in trying to stop the two anymore; we can't exactly kill Rudolf and Lauren here.

The turmoil subsided.

Lauren lay on the table, quietly examining the ring, her eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

"Very good." Rudolf praised, then stepped forward with satisfaction.

Then he took the ring out of the gap and put it on his ring finger.

"Captain...?" Lauren looked at Rudolph blankly, completely puzzled.

"I'll keep it for you," Rudolf said casually as he stepped off the platform.

Lorne watched all of this silently without saying a word.

"You—" Lauren was about to lash out when the platform beneath her feet suddenly began to shake violently.

The ring on Rudolf's ring finger glowed bright red.

"This is bad!" Lauren exclaimed, her face grim. "They have a countermeasure!"

A powerful pressure enveloped Lorne, rendering him unable to move.

This feeling... Lorne found it somewhat familiar.

He recalled it carefully.

It felt exactly the same as when the white-robed witch teleported me to the Black Sun Tower that day!
