Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 177 Magic Array Upgrade

At this moment, Ronan was quietly bypassing the main battlefield, carefully dodging various powerful attacks, and approaching the central area.

He guessed that it was probably because of this spring in the central area that the various academies on the fourth floor were now locked in a chaotic battle.

These people didn't cooperate when fighting enemies, but they formed an alliance to seize things.

He simply let the two skeletons quietly crawl to the most inconspicuous corner and lie down on the ground pretending to be dead.

They were afraid that others would notice them and associate them with another version of themselves that was hiding.

However, when he stealthily moved toward the center area, a very similar scene appeared before him.

A huge and familiar magic circle suddenly appeared, almost engulfing him.

He looked along the edge towards the center of the magic circle and discovered that it was the people from the Eternal Night Kingdom who were behind it all.

This time, their magic array was larger in scale and covered a wider area.

Once activated, it quickly enveloped the five-person team of the Twelve Constellations closest to them, which was the team of Flash Mouse.

"It's that same old broken basket magic array of yours again."

Flash Mouse said with a disdainful look, "You really think we can't break through your shell, huh?"

He found the magic array on the third floor rather strange.

After learning more, I realized that this magic array has strong physical resistance, but much weaker magical resistance.

Those three unlucky souls who were trapped inside were beheaded by the puppet's sword before they even had a chance to try.

In fact, as long as you are strong enough, it is quite easy to temporarily open a gap in the magic circle.

The primary purpose of this magic array is to trap people and deflect physical attacks from within.

However, to their surprise, although the magic circle looked the same as before, its internal logic had subtly shifted.

Ronan had a feeling that the magic array had been greatly optimized and upgraded from its original form.

He remembered that originally it required nine people to work together to release the magic array, but now only seven people are needed to release it remotely.

More importantly, the barrier of the magic circle seems to be thicker than before.

This not only meant that the magic circle's defensive capabilities had been significantly enhanced, but also allowed Ronan to witness an incredible scene.

A series of unknown patterns began to appear on the magic array barrier, which then generated waves of magical fluctuations.

The next second, all these magical fluctuations transformed into various attacks.

Bone spurs, flesh balls, spirit attacks—it has everything.

The attack came from the barrier and rained down on the five members of the Star Constellation group inside the magic circle.

Ronan's heart skipped a beat.

Although these attacks were chaotic, they looked strangely familiar upon closer inspection.

After a moment's thought, he immediately realized what was happening:

Isn't this the same attack method everyone used when they fought the Crystal Puppet?!

Although the attack intensity of the magic circle remained at a stable value, all the attack methods were clearly direct replicas of the attacks performed by everyone in the previous three levels.

No, it's not quite a replica; it's as if those attacks were directly imprinted onto the barrier of the magic array.

It turns out that the magic array set up by the Eternal Night Kingdom was not out of kindness to trap the puppet and give everyone a chance to attack, but rather to trap the target and attract attacks, thereby imprinting other people's magic.

No wonder the people from the Dark Abyss didn't really make a move before, just casually throwing out a few soul spells to deal with the situation.

It seems that the other team leader had given them some warning.

That's exactly what happened.

Xinglong had told his team members not to attack the crystal golems in the magic circle without authorization.

Those few attacks were just casually thrown out by him and Huanhu.

Although the other team members were unaware of the reasons, they naturally obeyed the leader's orders without hesitation, as was the case with the five members of the Horn Flash Rat team.

At this moment, seeing the various attacks coming towards them from the magic array, they instantly understood the underlying principle.

Flash Mouse looked grim, feeling as if he had been tricked by someone he looked down upon.

However, he soon ran out of time for extra emotions.

The magic array's attacks were overwhelming, far exceeding any imagination.

He had originally planned to use defensive magic to resist it and, at the same time, test the attack power of the magic circle.

But this thought quickly vanished amidst the overwhelming attacks.

Flash Mouse also realized that although the strength of each attack was limited, the sheer number of them was overwhelming, especially since they were all different types.

He not only had to defend against necromancy, but also against a few elemental spells and unknown, eerie attacks.

Therefore, he could not afford to defend himself and could only rely on his own advantages to move around within the magic array, dodging various attacks.

The other four were in the same situation, but compared to the speed-type Flash Mouse, their situation was much worse.

"Flash Mouse, go see if you can break through this barrier!"

Liu Ma's arm was cut by a bone spur, and his face turned somewhat black.

It is obvious that the bone spurs contain a potent toxin.

He is not a speed-type player, and he struggled greatly when faced with overwhelming, saturation attacks.

"Sister Rabbit, are you alright?"

Flash Mouse noticed that although Misty Rabbit did not have any visible wounds, her face had an eerie crimson hue.

As soon as he finished speaking, the rabbit turned around and smiled at him, then strangely gave up dodging and took the initiative to meet the various attacks.

Sen Yang, who happened to catch a glimpse of this scene, immediately took two attacks and rushed in front of her, trying to pull her away.

"Don't go near her, she's cursed!"

"Damn it!" Ryuma shouted, realizing what was happening. "It's the infamous curse of the Dark Tower!"

However, it was too late to offer any further reminders at that point.

The rabbit's face was flushed, and a strange smile was on its face.

As soon as Sen Yang arrived in front of her, he was greeted with a big hug.

She was glued to Sen Yang, binding him tightly and making him unable to move.

"What are you doing?"

Before Sen Yang could finish speaking, a corrosive ray pierced through his chest, passing through both him and Mi Tu.

"Sister Rabbit!"

With its eyes red, the mouse withstood the attacks along the way and charged towards the two of them recklessly.

"Don't go over there, the curse will spread!"

Ryuma stopped him just as Flash Mouse passed by.

MiTu and SenYang slowly collapsed to the ground.

Soon, it was affected by the area-of-effect attacks.

Their bodies were still intertwined, but under the onslaught of various attacks, they gradually became unrecognizable as human.

Seeing this, Flash Mouse instantly lost his mind.

He desperately tried to rush to the two corpses, but was held firmly by Ryuma.

The moon monkey quickly came up behind him and locked him tightly, preventing him from moving an inch.

The saturation attack of the magic circle did not allow them to stay in place for long.

Soon, their location was also subjected to numerous attacks.

Liu Ma suddenly lunged to the side, dodging a deadly attack aimed at them.

He quickly stood up, raised his hand and slapped the rat across the face. "Cheer up, hold on and avenge them."

Ronan hadn't expected that the magic array of the Eternal Night Kingdom had evolved to such an extent that the Star Constellation Five hadn't lasted long before casualties began to appear.

But right now, he has no time to sympathize with these people.

At this moment, he was only three meters away from the spring in the center area.
