Mages, Adventurers, and Women

By sacrificing his life, Brushu delayed the monster army outside Copperforge for three days, creating an excellent opportunity for the continent of Grand to resist the monsters.

When a dwarf utters this phrase with fervor, it means he is prepared to die.

With a resolute expression, Yulia drew her bow and aimed it at Klek. Her face was bloodshot, adding a touch of tragic impending death to her beautiful features.

"Li Wei, I have no regrets."

She said.

"Don't be impulsive!"

Li Wei didn't have time to ask Yulia if she regretted anything; he tried his best to comfort his three teammates who were preparing to die.

The skeleton had already jumped off the carriage, three skeletal undead clinging to its body. It cleaved away the charging skeletal undead with a single sword strike, shouting a warning:

"Li Wei! Kill Klek first!!!"

The carriage door was torn apart by the attacking skeletal undead, and Li Wei looked around.

Let's analyze this calmly.

They still have a little time to catch their breath.

Baron Dela's castle has been overrun by too many undead creatures. The crisscrossing valleys are teeming with these resurrected undead, but they are mixed with a large number of low-level undead—mainly skeletal ghosts and ordinary spirits.

They completely surrounded Li Wei's carriage.

Perhaps because the Necromancer General had not truly revived, the Necromancers' actions were chaotic and disorganized, which ironically kept the powerful Necromancers outside, giving Li Wei and the others an unexpected chance to catch their breath.

The most powerful undead creature closest to Li Wei and his group was a "Level 3-2 Skeleton Giant," which was blocked at the border between the residential area and the farmland area.

Frustrated, it began to turn on its own kind, stomping down and crushing countless undead creatures.

Li Wei's estimate.

He has ten seconds to catch his breath.

The closer you get to this point, the calmer you need to be.

Upon closer inspection, Li Wei found a "person" that seemed odd.

Kleck was just being glib a moment ago, why did he suddenly give up the struggle?

He maintained the "Priest's Protection" to protect himself and his two yellow horses, preventing low-level undead creatures from getting close.

Their eyes were vacant as they stared at the nearest skeletal giant, their lips moving as they counted down the days to their own.

Klecker may not know that the Undead General is lying in the coffin.

But he must have known there was danger inside.

He kept quiet from the beginning, prepared to be the last man standing. Would he have no backup plan?

Moreover, Klecker is not a coward who will just wait to die.

Knowing full well that there are tigers in the mountains, yet still venturing into the tiger's den, is the spirit of "adventure" embodied by Klecker.

Nine seconds left.

Li Wei's mind raced, and he guessed at Klecker's inconsistent thoughts.

He planned to deceive Li Wei and the other three by feigning inaction, and then reveal his secret plan to save himself after they died.

This guy dares to slack off at this point because he must think that his "backup plan" can resolve the necromancy crisis.

After figuring out what Klein was thinking, Levi immediately made a decision.

If he dies before he can force Klek to use his backup plan to save Yulia's squad.

Then let's grant Bone's wish and perish together with Klake!

A fireball the size of a wheel suddenly appeared.

It exploded about ten meters in front of the carriage.

The dozen or so skeletal undead, clustered together with their chests pressed against each other, were blown to pieces.

Klecker's eyelids twitched. Li Wei's "Great Fireball" was powerful, but that was all.

He immediately returned to a state of resignation and surrender.

"not enough?"

Li Wei immediately changed his approach.

1.

2.

3.

Klek felt a surge of frenzied fire element behind him.

He couldn't help but turn around and look.

Upon discovering that Li Wei was enveloped in "fire element" and bathed in fierce flames, he counted with unwavering determination: "4, 5..."

then.

His entire body was engulfed in flames, which coalesced into a single point about the size of a thumb. The point was pitch black, and the intense heat distorted the air around Li Wei. He then hurled the flames at the location where the fireball spell had just exploded.

The undead creatures were endless; after blasting away a dozen or so skeletal undead, they instantly filled the empty space again.

The fireball, charged for "five seconds," falls.

With a loud "whoosh" sound.

A sharp sound pierced Klecker's ears, followed by a dazzling light that assaulted his eyes.

boom--!

A deafening roar of flames erupted.

The towering flames incinerated every skeleton, spirit, and ghost.

It left a circular gap with a diameter of more than ten meters.

The aftershocks shattered Klek's "Priest's Protection".

A wide road appeared in front of the carriage.

Klecker's face twitched; he never expected that the seemingly weak Levi possessed such a powerful spell.

This level of power is insufficient to harm powerful undead such as skeletal giants.

But the fact that he could injure a level 1 priest like Klek suggests that Levi might actually have the strength to take him down with him.

Klecker's eyelids twitched violently; he did indeed have a backup plan to resolve this crisis.

Bill's two books alone cost him 75 gold coins, so how could he not make preparations?

He did indeed harbor the idea of ​​saving himself after Li Wei and the other three died.

Seeing Levi's behavior, Klein felt that things were getting out of control, unaware that Levi had guessed his thoughts clearly through his inconsistent behavior.

Li Wei's demonstration of magic was intended to show Klek that he had the ability to take Klek with him in death.

The level 3-2 skeletal giant, which had just entered the residential area, was startled by the fireball and then quickened its pace to run towards Li Wei and his group of five.

Li Wei quickly pulled out the "Eye of the Necromancer General" and, before Klek could snatch it, tossed it to Bone, who had been replaced by Duron and returned to the carriage to get a strip of cloth to stuff into his abdominal wound to stop the bleeding. He shouted:

"Hide!"

Bone reacted quickly, ripped open his pants, shoved them inside, and grinned maliciously at Klek:

"want to?"

"Go look in my ass!"

The skeletal giant was within reach.

Two more steps and they would be on top of Li Wei and his group of five.

Skeleton giants, skeleton butchers, undead trees, and shadow undead followed closely behind, surrounding them from other directions.

They are all level 3 undead, powerful and difficult to fight.

Li Wei grabbed Clayker's wrist, determined to die with him, and said several times:

"1, 2, 3..."

The skeletal giant arrived, raising its foot to cover the sky above Li Wei and his companions.

If they fall, Li Wei and his four companions will surely die.

The five people inside the carriage were in a terrible state.

Duron had his left arm cut off by the skeletal undead, but Li Weigang used his mage's hand to help him take it back from the undead.

Faced with a desperate situation, Yulia's team tacitly followed Levi's lead.

One-Armed Duron, the badly injured Bones, and Yulia all simultaneously pointed their weapons at Klek.

"4!"

The fiery explosion was about to erupt uncontrollably on Levi and Klein.

Klecker completely broke down.

After Li Wei figured out his thoughts, he was left with only two options.

Either die with Li Wei and the other three, or live with them.

He tore off his "retreating" disguise, pulled out an ancient animal hide scroll from his storage ring, quickly unfurled it, and roared:

"Frozen!"

A large amount of ice elemental energy surged from the animal skin scroll.

Crackle crackle—

Centered on the carriage, everything around it was frozen.

The skeletal giant, who had raised his foot, was frozen in place, his body covered in a layer of frost.

Skeleton spirits, ghosts, mutated ghosts, and the Ghost Princess, among other undead creatures, are all sealed by frost.

Baron Della's castle grounds have been transformed into a deep blue, icy world, with shimmering light reflecting off the ice.

Hee-lü-lü—

The two yellow horses snorted, looked at their reflections on the ice, and grinned, showing their big yellow teeth.

Bones, Duron, and Yulia simultaneously put away their weapons, smiles appearing beneath their blood-stained faces.

The skeleton lay sprawled on the wooden planks of the carriage, its body covered in deep, bone-revealing wounds, and murmured nonchalantly, "I survived..."

Duron lay down close to the bones, hugging his severed arm, and whispered, "Won't Bronzeforest blame me for not dying?"

Julia continued to draw her bow and aim at Klecker, tilting her head to Levi and saying, "Levi, I was just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."

Li Wei dispelled the four-second-condensed fireball, his face pale and bloodless.

Klein wasn't much better off. After using "Frozen," he slumped into the driver's seat, weakly shaking the reins and whispering, "Giddy up..."

Levi picked up the animal hide scroll from the ground, grabbed Klek's wrist, and sat down next to him.

Freeze is a level 3 spell.

The scroll is signed: LaSalle.

The ground was slippery, and a large number of skeletal remains blocked the way.

Two yellow horses pulled Li Wei and his group of five, who were standing on top of a dense mass of undead creatures, as they ran outside.

Klecker said irritably:

How do you know I have a way to deal with the undead?

Levi glanced at Klecker and said weakly, "Ambitious people are more afraid of death than anyone else."

Klecker said indignantly:

"I originally wanted to use this scroll to gather you five lousy people who were competing with me for recommendation spots together and freeze you to death."

“Lasal is a level 3 archmage, but there are differences among level 3 archmages. The difference between an ordinary level 3 archmage and Lasal is like the difference between a ‘bone assassin’ and a necromancer general.”

Skeleton Assassins are level 2-12 common undead creatures.
