Mages, Adventurers, and Women

dong dong——

The heartbeat of the undead general, about to awaken, resonated like a drumbeat in the hearts of Li Wei and the other five, causing blood to spurt uncontrollably from their nostrils.

The steps overhead began to collapse with a rumble.

The brief peace within Baron Della's castle grounds vanished.

An even more violent tremor followed.

Following the path they came from, they could no longer leave the underground area.

Li Wei calmly searched and found a crack leading directly to the ground. He shouted, "Bones, throw us up there!"

Bones immediately did as instructed, first throwing Livy, who was holding Julia, up there, and then throwing the dwarf Duron up there.

Once up there, Li Wei summoned the Mage's Hand, which grabbed his wrist, forming a rope called "Mage's Hand," and reached down to the bottom, shouting, "Grab it!"

The skeleton threw the large animal skin bag it was carrying to the ground, then grasped the mage's hand in return.

Duron, Julia, and Livi worked together, grabbing the mage's other hand and using all their strength to pull the bone up.

far away.

Inspired by Levi's rescue of the bones, Klek used the same method, grabbing the edge of the cracked ground above his head with his mage's hand.

Like a nimble monkey, he climbed back to the ground along the ropes set up by the sorcerer.

however……

The outside is like hell!

Li Wei saw a group of "carriage warriors" jump into a carriage and prepare to escape.

Suddenly, a gigantic, skeletal hand emerged from the ground, obscuring the sky.

puff--

The carriage was pinned down by the giant skeletal hand.

The squad was completely unable to put up a fight.

Then, the owner of the skeletal hand crawled out from underground, revealing himself to be a large skeleton over twenty meters tall.

"what?!"

"The level 3-2 skeletal giant was actually summoned by the Necromancer General?!"

"Oh shit!"

"Klecker cursed."

He immediately changed direction and ran around to the spot where the yellow horse was tied.

Someone saw Klein and shouted:

"Kleck, you bastard! You've ruined us!"

Klecker kept his head down and remained silent.

Baron Della's castle has become a sea of ​​the dead.

More than twenty skeletal giants blotted out the sky.

Level 3 undead creatures, such as Shadow Undead, Skeleton Butcher, and Necromancer Tree, which are comparable in strength to the Skeleton Giant, emerged from the ground.

Countless undead creatures, both common and rare, such as skeletons, ghosts, and the Ghost Princess, have also risen from the ground.

The deep, cracked valley was filled with undead creatures, and there was no end in sight.

The unexpected incident turned into a one-sided massacre of undead creatures for the adventurer party who were adventuring in Baron Dela's castle!

Li Wei and his three companions were being chased by a skeletal butcher carrying a skull chain with a skull knife attached to the end.

Fortunately, there were other adventurers to share the burden with Levi and his companions, otherwise they would have been overwhelmed by undead creatures as soon as they escaped underground.

But their lives were just as difficult.

Li Wei and his companions were too busy running for their lives to even have time to resist. Like Klecker, they were unaware that this necromantic disaster had affected the entire Baron Della's castle.

Upon realizing that Klek's target was the carriage, Li Wei immediately cast two fireballs above the yellow horse's head, threateningly saying:

"Kleik! We'll die together!"

Klek was being chased by a shadow undead. He was taken aback when he saw this, cursed under his breath, and turned to run towards Li Wei and the other three.

"Priest's protection!"

The blazing white light shield reappeared above Li Wei and the other three, but it did not make them feel at ease.

The carriage was right there, but the undead creatures had no interest whatsoever in these lowest-level beasts, which weren't even wild animals.

“I used the ‘Ignore’ spell on the carriage.”

Klecker explained.

The Ignore spell is a level 1 general spell that reduces the presence of items and creatures, making it useful for escaping dangerous situations.

Li Wei's eyes lit up.

Once you get into the carriage, you'll be able to escape!

The five were running for their lives when a ghost princess dressed in a princess dress suddenly blocked their way.

Klek and his group originally wanted to avoid it, but this thing would self-destruct if it was seriously injured, which would be troublesome.

Surprisingly.

Before they could react, the ghost princess started laughing, revealing an extremely eerie and wicked smile.

Slightly open your mouth—

boom--

She confessed...

The priest's protective shield was blasted into spots of light.

Li Wei and his four companions were blown away.

boom--

Li Wei felt dizzy and his vision blurred; he couldn't tell how many bones were broken or how many cracks his internal organs had.

He scrambled to his feet without a moment's hesitation, found the animal skin bag still at his waist, hastily wiped away the blood obscuring his vision, and discovered the locations of Yulia, Bones, and Duron, who had been blown away.

Bone and Dulong, dazed, pressed their bodies against the animal skin bag, their faces covered in blood.

Yulia knelt on one knee, swaying as she tried to stand up.

Blood spurted continuously from the three people's eye sockets, nostrils, mouths, and ears.

Li Wei's sorcerer's hand descended upon their necks, quickly dragging them toward the carriage.

Clerk was the least injured; he had already run to the carriage and grabbed the reins of the two yellow horses.

Just as he was about to drive away, Li Wei's fireball spell hovered above the heads of the two yellow horses again, and he shouted again:

"Die together!"

Klecker cursed under his breath, "Damn it!" and quickly used his Mage's Hand to drag Yulia and the other two back into the carriage.

Finally, Li Wei and the other three all ran into the carriage.

Yulia and the other two gradually recovered.

The carriage burst out of the necromantic fog that enveloped the castle.

Just as Li Wei and his four companions were marveling at their escape from danger.

They were dumbfounded...

The castle grounds of Baron Della were teeming with undead creatures, making it impossible to find a place to stand.

Looking up, a pair of closed eyes that occupied the entire sky within Baron Della's castle slowly opened.

With empty eyes, Levi and Klein felt the other's gaze fall on them.

now.

Li Wei finally realized what he had taken from Klecker—the eyes of the Necromancer General!

Inside the suspended coffin, the undead general broke free of the four chains binding his upper body and sat up.

The empty eye sockets, from which Kleck had stolen his eyes, looked in the direction where Levi and his group of five had fled.

thump—

The castle of Baron Dela was once again put on pause, and they stopped slaughtering other adventurers.

The undead creatures all turned their gazes toward the carriage carrying Li Wei and his group of five, who had just rushed out of the castle district.

At this moment, Li Wei understood why Clay had promised not to fight him for the valuables in the coffin.

From the very beginning, his goal was to open the coffin lid.

"Klecker, why did you open the coffin lid without permission!"

"The bones, having regained some strength, questioned loudly."

Feeling uneasy and restless under the watchful eyes in the sky, Klein argued:

"Only those who do nothing will not make mistakes. We are all adventurers, and we will make mistakes sooner or later."

Li Wei corrected, "This isn't making a mistake, this is courting death."

Klecker retorted defiantly, "How the hell was I supposed to know the Necromancer General was lying inside! Levi, this isn't the time to shirk responsibility!"

[Rationality] tells Li Wei that at this moment, he should remain calm enough to deal with the huge crisis.

But after the eye in the sky disappeared, a vast ocean of undead creatures rushed towards them. The five of them were like a small boat in a stormy sea, about to be submerged by the surging waters.

Li Wei could no longer restrain himself and spoke his mind directly:

"Fuck your mother!"

Klecker: "I am an orphan."

Li Wei: "..."

Klek: "I have recognized Archmage Frey as my foster mother."

Li Wei: "..."

……

……

Chapter 31: Return to Rolling Stone

"..."

“Li Wei, what did you just say—that you wanted to do to ‘my foster mother, Lady Frey, the 3rd-level archmage who is the president of the Rolling Stone Mage Association, the only gold badge holder at the Rolling Stone Mage Gathering, and has a recommended spot to go to the White Tower region’?”

Klecker asked the question knowing the answer already.

Li Wei: "I wish her good health."

Inside the cramped carriage, the skeleton, his face covered in blood, poured two bottles of Radiant Potion onto his broadsword. He kicked open a wooden plank on one side of the carriage and slashed down at the first undead skeleton that rushed towards him.

puff--

The broadsword, imbued with the radiant potion, swiftly cleaved the skeletal undead in two. He ruthlessly wiped away the blood obscuring his vision and shouted:

"Li Wei! Why waste your breath on him? Let's kill this bastard first, then fight the undead. Killing one is worth it, killing two will break even!"

The dwarf Duron had a thick beard that reached his chest, which was covered in clumps of blood that hung down his chin, making him look like a clown in a circus performing a barrel-walking act on a seesaw.

He lavishly poured the remaining Reality Potion and Radiance Potion onto his machete in one go.

Gazing at the approaching army of undead, he raised his sword horizontally with both hands, closed his eyes, and devoutly prayed:

"The light of the Dwarves of Copperforge shines on every inch of the continent of Grand. Brave dwarves will defend the glory of Copperforge even in death. Today, I will die, but the spirit of the dwarves will be imprinted on every inch of Copperforge and never sleep!"

Copperforest is a holy site for dwarves.

During the era of monster invasion, the legendary dwarf "Brush" left behind this immortal declaration of his sacrifice before fighting to the death to protect Bronzeforest.
