Faerun: The arcane mage is still too imprisoned.

Lance watched as Olaf, who was as tall as an iron tower, pressed Alfred to the ground and rubbed him against the ground, and felt a toothache.

"Tsk."

Not a buddy?

This is outrageous! Alfred received so many buffs, yet he still got beaten up by Olaf like a father beating his son.

Could Alfred be a fraud...?

If they keep fighting like this, it won't even take three minutes before Olaf lulls Alfred to sleep.

"Don't panic, Alfred, I'm here to help you!"

Lance began casting a spell in mid-air.

[Ascending Ring Casting - Human Immobilization Spell!]

A beam of light shot from Lance's fingertips, enveloping Olaf.

Lance squinted and stared, but Olaf's blood energy surged, like a protective shield, and he was completely unaffected.

Lance: ...

[Third Ring Spell - Slow!]

Another shot, but Olaf only paused slightly before continuing as usual.

"Hey, I just don't believe it..."

[First-Circle Spell - Weakening Ray!]

[First-Circle Spell - Discordant Whispers!]

[First-circle spell - Vulnerability Curse!]

[Second Ring Spell - Blindness!]

……

Despite taking so many debuffs, Olaf didn't seem weakened at all; on the contrary, he became even more courageous in battle.

Lance's face turned green; this immunity for Heroic-class heroes was just too outrageous!

[Fourth Ring Spell - Polymorph!]

Olaf swayed, his blood gushing out like boiling water, and then... that was it.

He cleaved Alfred into kneeling with a single blow.

"no!"

"Your resilience is way too high! Why call yourself a Berserker? You might as well change your name to King of Resilience!"

Lance felt that the warriors were far too powerful.

"God, why aren't you nerfing the warriors yet?!"

Lance muttered to himself, but his hands continued moving.

[Ascending Ring Casting - Whirlpool Warp!]

【Vortex Warp: You use magic to warp the space around another visible creature within 90 meters.】

The target must pass a physical immunity exemption (the target can choose to fail), otherwise the target will be teleported to an unoccupied space within 90 meters that you can see and choose.

The chosen space must be above ground or within a liquid, and must allow the target to be supported without having to squeeze into it.

【Whirlpool Warp】is a second-circle spell. When casting it in a higher-circle spell, the distance increases by thirty meters for each higher circle than the second circle, and it is also more difficult to save from.

If Lance reaches the fourth ring and succeeds, he can teleport Olaf 150 meters away.

Lance was startled.

"Hey, it actually worked!"

The space beneath Olaf's feet suddenly twisted, like an invisible vortex tearing at his body.

His expression finally changed, and his blood surged wildly as he tried to steady himself.

"Varied--"

He only managed to utter one word before he was swallowed by the spatial vortex and appeared at the end of the street 150 meters away the next second.

"Ouch!"

"At least we succeeded once!"

Lance took the opportunity to test the effects of his attack spells.

[Ascending Ring Casting - Fireball!]

He raised his hand and unleashed a fireball, the orange-red fireball streaking across the night sky with a trail of flame.

"boom--!!!"

The flames exploded, illuminating several streets.

But after the smoke cleared, Lance saw Olaf standing at the center of the explosion, his body surging with crimson blood. The flames that touched his body were like hitting an invisible barrier, unable to cause any effective damage.

"hiss--!!!"

Lance couldn't help but gasp.

"You're being too..."

"No, his vitality seems to have faded..."

Lance squinted.

"But it's only diluted this much; even if I were drained dry, I couldn't kill him!"

Olaf flicked his slightly charred sleeve and strode back.

The distance of 150 meters seemed to disappear under the feet of a hero-level warrior; he covered most of it in just a few steps.

Lance's mind raced; he couldn't hit it, he couldn't control it, and even transforming was useless...

It seems that the only way to defeat him is to first eliminate his subordinates and then gather everyone's strength.

[Arcane Instant Cast - Banish!]

Golden light shone on my face.

Olaf was then engulfed by golden light and disappeared from the spot.

Alfred, leaning on his sword, got up from the ground, panting heavily, covered in blood, and looked in the direction Olaf had disappeared with lingering fear.

He never said he wanted to fight Olaf again!

"Stop spacing out!" Lance shouted. "Get to work! While Olaf's away, let's take care of the professionals he brought with us as quickly as possible, then surround and kill Olaf!"

Alfred licked the blood from his lips and instantly moved closer to the battlefield.

Lance flew over as well.

"Have you made enough of a scene?!"

Graham was slashing at a level 11 man in black, his axe striking a longsword, sparks flying everywhere.

He has gained the upper hand, but he can't take it down anytime soon.

Lance swept past him and slammed an energy ball into the man's face.

[Upgraded Ring Casting - Lesser Spirit Bomb!]

The man was so focused on dealing with Graham's axe that he had no time to dodge.

His defense was far inferior to Olaf's. The blue energy ball exploded on his face, shattering his nose and leaving half of his face a bloody mess. He fell backward.

Graham's axe followed suit, cleaving from shoulder to chest.

Lance finished off the enemy with a [Magic Blast].

[Defeat 1 Level 11 Human Warrior, gain 600 experience points!]

"one!"

Alfred has already taken down one.

Although he was beaten half to death by Olaf, that was relative to the Heroic class.

When fighting against a level 13 warrior of the same rank, who is fully buffed, it's like they're invincible.

The longsword pierced through the ribs of a man in black, exiting from his back, and came out with a spray of blood mist.

Alfred wanted to cut off his hands and feet, but the Exemplary Warrior had strong vitality and shouldn't die anytime soon.

We can keep them to extract information from later through interrogation.

However, Lance walked by and casually fired a [Magic Blast] into the head.

[Slayed 1 Level 11 Human Wanderer, gained 600 experience points!]

"Eh!"

Alfred was startled. "Lance, you... never mind, whatever makes you happy."

"two!"

Lance knew, of course, that Alfred was keeping him around to gather intelligence.

but……

Graham and his team had already severely injured two Exemplar-class beings, rendering them incapable of action, so they could be interrogated for information.

As for the rest...

"You might as well obediently become my resources for progress! Hehehehehehehe!"

The third man in black, seeing the situation was not good, tried to run away, but was entangled by the two generals and could not get away.

Lance moved around to his side.

[Ascending Ring Casting - Human Immobilization Spell!]

The person's exemption failed, and the action was halted.

A general struck him in the lower back with a hammer, sending him flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing into half of the wall.

Lance followed up with the finishing blow.

[Defeat 1 Level 11 Human Warrior, gain 600 experience points!]

"Three!"
