Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 293 I'll trick you into giving me a defense first

Kedis was hiding inside a towering tree in the Blackburg Forest.

He had not been a third-level apprentice for long.

But he was eager to prove himself.

Recently, they've had some bad luck with their land-based boats, losing two third-level apprentices and several second-level apprentices in just a few months.

It's alright that we lost a second-level apprentice. The captain has a method for mass-training second-level apprentices; even if it costs lives, the loss can be made up in a year or two.

But becoming a level three apprentice is not so easy. Especially for level two apprentices, who are advanced through sheer numbers and sacrifices, the success rate is even lower. Therefore, level three apprentices already hold a very high status in their land-based navigation.

Therefore, each Level 3 apprentice wields considerable power. However, only the most skilled Level 3 apprentices receive special training from the captain and have the opportunity to become captains of escort ships.

When Cadis became a Level 3 apprentice, all the frigate captains were already full, and since he wasn't particularly outstanding, he hadn't been able to secure this highly lucrative job.

Now that the two Level 3 apprentices blocking Kedis's way have both died unexpectedly, whether he can become one of the best Level 3 apprentices and receive the captain's special training depends on whether he can force this temporary master of the Black Castle into his trap today!

However, Cadis still doesn't quite understand why the captain would use such methods on a second-level apprentice.

He looked down at the seed in his palm, a sense of unease creeping into his heart. "Holding the seed of the Soul-Stealing Flower in my hand is... I hope I can catch that second-level apprentice soon. It's better to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible."

Their land-based boats have three famous specialties: the slender ghost shadow, the thousand-eyed female demon, and the last one is the soul-losing flower.

However, many people are unaware of the specific uses of these three specialties, and Kadis had only just learned about the first two. On the other hand, he still didn't know the specific use of the Soul-Stealing Flower seeds, which were already in his hands.

However, once he becomes a Level 3 Apprentice, capable of leading a frigate on his own like Herman once was, he will certainly be qualified to understand the secrets behind it.

At this moment, a commotion came from inside the Black Castle. Clearly, due to Cadis's recent order, the slender ghostly figure had made an even bigger disturbance, which had already alerted the Devil Vine.

Kadis frowned.

He wasn't afraid of alerting the Demon Vine. With the help of the unknown ally arranged by his mentor, as long as he withdrew before dawn, he wouldn't disturb the people of Mobei City at the foot of the mountain.

"Why haven't we found it yet?" As time ticked by, Kedis, who had been so confident of victory, grew anxious. "My mentor said that if we don't complete this mission, we'll definitely lose our chance to be promoted to captain of the frigate."

Cadis struggled for a moment.

"Should we go check it out? But I've already set traps in the woods, it wouldn't be wise to leave rashly..."

As the new moon set in the west, Cadis lingered in the same spot for a while longer.

"No, the slender ghost must have run into some trouble. If I stay here, this mission will probably fail. This second-level apprentice is more capable than I thought; he managed to hide from the slender ghost's search for so long!"

Kadis is prepared to go there in person; he is determined to force the other party out, no matter what.

He slowly raised his hand, and a crack automatically appeared in the tree trunk in front of him.

Kadis jumped outwards, and just as he was about to land on the ground, he suddenly felt something tighten around his waist.

Immediately afterwards, a chilling aura swept directly towards his head.

"We've been ambushed!" Having fought for several years, he immediately realized what was happening.

Without turning around to look for the enemy, Cadis simply raised his hand, and a silver round shield appeared above his head.

Tier 1 Magical Shield.

Although its protective range is not as large as that of the Spirit Armor Technique, its defensive power is relatively higher.

The enemy deliberately waited for him to come out before launching a sneak attack. This attack must be quite powerful. Kadis didn't know who was attacking him or how strong they were. He could only use one of his strongest defensive measures to defend against the attack.

"when!"

With a crisp sound, the attack came to an abrupt halt.

Kadis knew something was wrong; he had misjudged the situation. This attack wasn't strong at all. "Was this guy just trying to bait me into using a defensive move?"

At this moment, the thing wrapped around Kadis's waist suddenly tightened, lifting him up. Then, that same chilling feeling attacked his legs again. Although the attack did not target vital organs, it was more powerful than before, clearly intended to break his legs and prevent him from escaping!

Kadis never expected that his carelessness would lead him into an enemy ambush, leaving him constantly at the mercy of his opponents. To change this situation, he must launch a powerful counterattack, or he risked utter defeat.

Just then, Kedis, who was hanging in mid-air, suddenly exerted force on his waist, flipped over, and faced the sky.

At the same time, a fine layer of yellow oil instantly grew on his entire body, like cheese that had seeped through gauze.

Two black tentacles struck Cadis's legs hard the next second, but the sound was dull and did not cause him any harm.

The moment the tentacles touched the butter, they froze it, but the next second the butter shattered into pieces, revealing the skin underneath.

Although the pants had two holes, the skin on the legs was perfectly fine without a single scratch!

At the same time, Cadis, who had already been passively hit three times, revealed a ferocious smile.

He had just withstood an attack from the attacker and was about to turn over, partly to locate the enemy and partly to prepare for his own attack.

Kadis's hands were already covered with a layer of yellow grease. When he saw the black figure among the leaves, without saying a word, his lips moved rapidly, and with a push of his hands, the grease on his palms shot out like bullets.

Meanwhile, the person on the other side did not stop. Although several attacks failed to truly harm Kedis, the black tentacles still struck down at the yellow projectile once again.

However, although the bullet looked soft, it was actually extremely lethal. Upon contact with the black tentacles, it did not hesitate at all and pierced through them, then continued to fly towards the black shadow without mercy.

The dark figure had a faint halo around it, which looked like a spirit armor technique.

A glint of light flashed in Kadis's eyes. If the other party was so confident in the protection of the Spirit Armor Technique that they didn't bother to dodge, then things would get interesting.

This yellow grease is not ordinary witchcraft, but a witchcraft he specially made by combining his locator with a rare material.

If it weren't for this magic that combines offense and defense, he might not have been able to become a level three apprentice!

But Cadis was destined to be disappointed. The shadowy figure in the woods did not arrogantly ignore his attack; in fact, it carefully avoided all the yellow bullets, not letting a single piece of his clothing touch it.

As the opponent dodged, he emerged from the shadows of the tree, the moonlight shining on his face, revealing a youthful face devoid of joy or sorrow.

"It's you?" Cadis narrowed his eyes, never expecting that the person he was looking for was right in front of him.

"That's good, saves me the trouble of wasting my energy." Although it didn't quite go according to plan, Thor finally left Blackburg.

That's right, it was Thor who was crouching among the branches and leaves at the top of the tree and ambushing Cadis.

He saw the change in Kedis's eyes when she saw him, and knew that the other party was coming for him.

I'm on time today!
