I am the Enchantress!

Chapter 119 The Glory of the Kobolds

The range of oil is vast, and almost all kobolds were not spared, dancing freely on the stage of oil and fire.

Two of them managed to escape, but Wilder took them out with [Crazy Crown].

"Aww!!!"

Amidst the soaring fireworks, only one towering figure stood firm, even letting out a powerful roar.

It is the strongest backbone of the entire kobold tribe, representing their final glory.

【violent】

The bulging muscles crackled as heavy feet sank into the earth, hardened scales blocking the flames.

In this state, the kobold leader not only greatly enhanced his strength and physique, but also temporarily lost his sense of pain and fear.

It's a difficult-level monster after all; oil and fire like that can't kill it.

"Hala-ha!"

(Humanity—Die!)

It growled, its two pupils filled with crimson, preparing to step over the grease and bite off the human's neck.

suddenly.

A dazzling red light shone again from the low hill not far away.

Come again?

The kobold leader snorted and decided not to advance any further. Instead, he straightened his back and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

After being enraged, its scales gain a small amount of fire resistance, making it largely immune to low-level fire spells.

The kobold leader didn't take a "Burning Hand" like the one he just used seriously.

Human beings —

Let me shatter your confidence!

What puzzled it was that the human's spellcasting speed was much slower this time.

Is my magic power insufficient, causing the preparation time for spells to become longer?

He's definitely a newbie.

Its arrogance grew even stronger, and it stood ramrod straight, like a motionless target on a training field, waiting for the mage opposite to use its body for practice.

The spots of light on the low slope grew larger and brighter.

About six seconds.

The crimson light had somehow coalesced into a fireball, which suddenly shot towards the kobold leader.

Things appear larger when closer and smaller when farther away.

As a dog-headed human with limited intelligence, understanding this principle might be somewhat difficult.

But there is no doubt that the fireball, which was getting closer and closer, was indeed getting bigger and bigger.

like----

It's different from the previous fire spell?

This is----

Fireball!

The kobold leader finally realized what was happening, but it was too late.

A blazing, enormous fireball, carrying blinding heat and flames, hurtled toward it at incredible speed.

We have no choice but to tough it out!

It held its arms tightly to its chest, its bulging muscles bulging and knotted, and crimson waves of air rose from the surface of its reddish-brown scales.

"Aww!!!"

With a howl, it unleashed all the power within its body.

Humanity, let me—

"Bang!!!"

The fireball exploded the moment it touched it, and the deafening roar instantly drowned out its barking and the lofty ambitions that had been abruptly cut short in its heart.

A third-level spell is six times more complex in its spell structure than a second-level spell.

Its power naturally increases exponentially.

The kobold leader had almost no time to put up any resistance as a violent explosion of fire melted its scales and reduced its entire body to ashes.

Including the left ear.

After casting his spell atop the low hill, Wilder sighed deeply.

Five gold coins vanished just like that.

This is the first time I've tried using the Fireball spell in actual combat, purely out of curiosity and a spirit of experimentation. I can't use it casually in the future.

Especially when dealing with smaller monsters, blasting them to smithereens is just a waste of money!

There was another thing that puzzled him.

that is----

Why isn't this kobold leader dodging at all?

To conserve the energy in his staff, Wilder specially prepared a fireball spell on the spot.

For a full six seconds, the beast remained completely still, allowing him to aim and release.

It looks like a utility pole.

No bewitching spells were cast on it, were they?

Why did it freeze in place?

it's wired.

Wilder shook his head, then gripped his staff with both hands and walked down the slope to the group of kobold corpses.

He checked the number again, and it was the same as last time. It seemed that every single one of them had been burned to death.

Before cleaning up the battlefield, he first brought up the system panel: [Name]: Wilder [Class]: Mage [Level]: Lv4 (1710/3000)

(1810/3000)

(1860/3000)

Twenty ordinary kobolds and one kobold leader provided a total of 150 experience points.

It's not a drop in the ocean, but it's better than nothing.

However, this was his first solo mission, hunting down kobolds, which was already a deadline he had set for himself; any higher difficulty could have been life-threatening.

Moreover, the other side also has a kobold leader, which is a difficult-level monster that only a four-person team of intermediate professionals can successfully hunt down.

"That's already pretty good."

Wilder muttered a sentence to himself and began cleaning up the battlefield.

Based on these results, while fire spells are effective, they are not suitable for quests, especially hunting kobolds.

The kobold leader was burned to ashes, and the remaining twenty ordinary kobolds were also burned to pieces.

There are only about ten complete left ears that can be found.

There wasn't a single complete scale that could be exchanged for money.

A total of thirty silver coins.

Wilder hadn't seen such a pitiful reward in a long time.

As originally planned, he intended to leave after cleaning up the battlefield and would no longer search the kobold's lair.

It's riddled with kobold traps and mechanisms, and one or two remnants could appear at any time, making it slightly dangerous.

His main purpose for this trip was to gain experience; making money was secondary.

But----

Thirty silver coins!

There are no secrets in the association; once he delivers the mission, the team will eventually find out about it.

Even if others don't say it, Gru will definitely laugh at him.

"You mean—you went to the border forest in the middle of the night, devised a meticulous tactic, and even cast several spells in succession."

He would definitely grin and scoff, "Just for thirty silver coins?"

Um----

The teasing is secondary.

Wilder's rationality prevented him from entering the crypt, but emotionally, he did not resist making his purse even fuller.

Although I got more than fifty gold coins from the last mission, I used up ten of them in the blink of an eye after buying a level three spell scroll.

For mages, gold coins are just as important as the mana within them.

Do we really want to go in?

In fact, after Xiao Ha's explanation last time, he already had a certain understanding of the kobolds' traps and mechanisms.

The danger is that if someone from outside gets in, his situation will become a dead end.

Just then.

He heard the rustling of leaves coming from the low slope he had just come down.

Who?

Wilder immediately became alert and raised his staff high with both hands.

"Da da da da".

The sound of footsteps seemed familiar.

He looked up.

Sure enough, a familiar dark gray figure appeared on the low slope.
