Spellcasting Gods

"Don't ask me! How would I know! Anyway, all we need to do is kill them all!" The only woman in the group rolled her eyes in annoyance, trying to ease the pressure with a slightly lighthearted tone.

After all, anyone who isn't a fool can tell that these four suddenly appearing monsters are definitely not ordinary carnivorous beasts from the forest, but some kind of life form created by humans.

Before any formal contact, no one knew what special abilities they possessed, or whether their strength or agility far exceeded the average level.

"Hey! Buddy! This time it's all up to you!" The middle-aged man winked at the young man beside him.

"understand!"

The latter understood immediately, took a deep breath, and began chanting a spell before the monster could launch an attack.

Just three to five seconds later, he suddenly released a chilling aura from his palm, which swept towards one of the targets a dozen meters away at an extremely fast speed.

moment!

The molten lava flowing across the monster's skin began to solidify rapidly!

Although it charged wildly the moment it was attacked, it hadn't even run halfway when it suddenly fell to the ground due to its uncoordinated limbs, crashing hard into a thick stone pillar and finally shattering into pieces of hot gray stone.

"They're afraid of the cold and water!" the young man who had just landed a hit shouted to his companions.

Unfortunately, there was no water source in the lobby on the first floor. The water that the team drank was brought in by the maid earlier, and now there was less than half a pottery jar left.

Without any hesitation!

The muscular man immediately picked up the heavy water jug ​​and hurled it at the other monster.

Clang!

With a crisp sound as the earthenware pot struck the wall, a full twenty liters of water poured out, drenching the monster.

The moment the cool water came into contact with the scalding lava, a large amount of white steam rose up, enveloping the entire bottom of the tower and forming a white mist.

"Oh no! No! No! You idiot! What have you done?"

As the white fog completely obscured his vision, the middle-aged man couldn't help but let out a painful and desperate cry.

If he could, he really wished he had stopped his teammate's idiotic behavior.

The biggest difference between intelligent beings and wild animals is that most intelligent beings rely on sight far more than hearing and smell. Once they lose the advantage of sight, the consequences are predictable.

But now, some idiot has actually blocked his own field of vision advantage.

tension!

Stimulate!

Be careful!

Once the white mist completely filled the enclosed space, the adventure team stood back to back, constantly trying to pinpoint the location of the other two monsters by throwing props such as stools, chairs, cups, and plates around them.

Unfortunately, what they threw didn't hit anything.

Just as the psychological pressure was mounting, a bright red figure suddenly leaped out of the white mist and pounced down on them.

"Aaaaaaah!!!! Die!"

The muscular man, his face contorted with rage, swung his axe and was the first to charge forward.

boom!

With a muffled thud, the axe embedded itself in the monster's abdomen, and a large amount of scalding blood hot enough to melt steel gushed out.

His exposed skin was instantly and severely burned; even his double-layered hard leather armor was ignited, emitting a burnt smell.

Terrible!

After just one round, the muscular man was forced to withdraw from the fight, collapsing to the ground and frantically tearing at his severe burns, letting out horrifying screams.

Although such burns are far from fatal, the pain they cause is incomparable to that of scratches or bites.

"Oreg!"

Upon seeing this, the women in the group immediately shouted the other person's name and raised their spears, stabbing them fiercely into the monster's gaping maw.

A fatal blow!

Aside from those special species with superhuman resilience that are almost impossible to kill, normal living organisms simply cannot withstand the enormous damage caused by this kind of penetration through the body.

So in less than five seconds, the astonishingly high temperature emitted by the monster quickly cooled down, turning into a hard solid like a statue.

While everyone's attention was drawn to the injured strongman, the last one silently approached the young man who was casting the spell, and pounced with lightning speed, ready to bite off its prey's neck.

But it didn't notice at all that the moment it leaped, the small figure that had been hiding in the shadows also jumped up.

More importantly, this short man suddenly spread his arms wide, as if scattering something invisible to the naked eye into the air.

next second!

puff!

A hideous, enormous head rolled off its neck, spurting out bright red, scalding blood that melted the ceiling adorned with gold and silver ornaments.

Without a doubt, what he wielded was nothing other than an extremely thin, tough, and heat-resistant thread.

With incredible weapons, he easily killed powerful monsters far beyond his own strength without paying any price.

As the last monster fell to the ground, the water vapor in the air slowly dissipated, restoring the game to its original state.

However, these survivors showed no signs of joy. They stood solemnly beside the heavily injured, muscular man, raising their weapons several times to try and end his suffering, but for some reason, they gave up in the end. After all, in their eyes, such horrific burns were practically a death sentence; few could survive, let alone recover to their pre-injury state.

Chapter 1035 Luck or Misfortune?

"Not bad, team!"

Standing on the upper level of the tower, Zhang Cheng watched the simple and quick battle unfold and gave his evaluation with a smile.

Without a doubt, he was not surprised at all by the outcome of the battle.

If they can't even handle enemies of this caliber, then it only means that all the members of this adventure team are trash and have no value in training or testing them.

His attitude towards garbage has always been clear: to eliminate it directly using physical means.

Trash and useless people don't deserve to live!

They don't even deserve to live in his presence!

As for the four life forms created with the power of the main string, they can only be considered a warm-up at best; they are still far from understanding the advantages and disadvantages of the abilities.

fortunately!

If Zhang Cheng were to say what he is richest in right now, it would undoubtedly be time.

Because, in a sense, his life was already intertwined with the entire universe.

Unless the universe is destroyed, or those rulers with power of the same level as him intervene, he will never die, nor will he age or weaken. He has truly reached a state of "eternity" in terms of life.

Watching the increasingly somber atmosphere unfold within the adventure team, the usually aloof Zhang Cheng finally showed a bit of compassion. He ordered the alchemically created humanoid puppet to heal the wounded, then slipped into the small dark room to prepare for his next opponent.

Of course, it wasn't that he pitied the other person, but rather that he felt it was a pity that such a skill, which helped him test his abilities and provided some entertainment, was a "toy" that could relieve boredom and loneliness, would die like that.

The reason why adventure teams are so popular in many fantasy worlds is that they can unleash unimaginable power through cooperation.

However, if a fully equipped squad suddenly loses or leaves an important member, the entire squad's combat effectiveness will immediately drop several levels. Enemies that could have been easily dealt with before might now be wiped out in a single encounter.

Clearly, Zhang Cheng doesn't want the team to suffer serious losses, at least not before they fail.

Before the team members could even react to what was happening, a maid silently approached the muscular man and poured a bottle of powerful healing potion into his mouth.

moment!

The man, who was originally on the verge of death, suddenly sat up from his semi-conscious state. All the burns and scalds on his body healed, scabbed over, and fell off in less than half a minute.

"Ahhh!!! What happened? I... I remember I was injured!"

The muscular man shouted incoherently while patting himself down, trying to find his wounds.

"What did you give Oreg to drink?!" The only woman in the group grabbed the maid and questioned her sharply.

"Relax, please don't worry. He drank the healing potion prepared by the master and is fine now." The maid was clearly not annoyed by the other party's rough behavior, and a faint smile still lingered on her beautiful face.

"Healing potion?!" The young man with spellcasting abilities' eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this word. "Who is your master? Why does he want to heal our injured comrades?"

"No reason why! Our master's orders are our code of conduct. In addition, our master is very satisfied with your performance just now and has allowed you to receive a bounty after each game. You can keep it or use it to purchase various magical potions and weapons to better prepare for the next battle."

As she spoke, the maid opened a box containing eight thousand gold coins and placed it generously in front of the other person.

Above the gleaming gold coins is a list of items that can be redeemed.

Without saying a word, the young man immediately picked up the list and carefully read the text and instructions. After a short while, he looked up and asked, "Can we exchange all the items on this list?"

The maid nodded without hesitation: "That's right! As long as you have enough gold coins, you can buy whatever you want. And if you can pass the master's final test, you can take everything you win in the game back to your own world."

"My God! A fire-enchanted longsword for only 1,200 gold coins?! That's incredibly cheap! And this dragon scale armor for only 5,000 gold coins. Unbelievable! If those nobles knew, they would go crazy." The middle-aged man glanced at the list and gasped.

You should know that many of these items are treasures that money can't necessarily buy, and even a duke might go bankrupt to buy one as a family heirloom.

But now, these adventurers living in the lower strata of society actually have the opportunity to wear treasures on their bodies.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky.

"Damn it! We only have eight thousand gold coins, we have to be careful with our spending." The young man said through gritted teeth, barely suppressing his inner elation.

Because he saw more than eighty magic scrolls and books he had never seen before at the bottom of the list!

For a penniless and powerless low-level apprentice, this was an irresistible temptation.

Now, he is no longer in a hurry to escape, but wants to stay and cooperate with the tower's owner to complete the game, no matter how dangerous the game may be.

After all, the mysterious and profound magical knowledge displayed by the owner of this place had deeply impressed him, and he believed that as long as he could persevere to the end, he would definitely be able to surpass his mentor and become a powerful spellcaster.

“There are six of us! Divided equally, each person gets 1,300 gold coins. However, I suggest reducing it to 1,200 gold coins, and using the rest to buy healing potions. I'm sure you all saw how amazing those emerald green liquids were just now.” The short figure, who had somehow emerged from the shadows, spoke his suggestion in a slightly deep voice.

"Agreed! It's a very fair distribution method!"

"I have no objection either!"

"Same as above!"

"That's fine!"

……

After the allocation rules were determined, the group quickly began to select weapons or armor according to their own and the team's needs.

As for high-level magical accessories such as gloves, boots, rings, and amulets, they couldn't afford them with their meager allowance and had to give up.
