The World of Demons (13): Comparison

The blue-robed magician nodded in response. At this time, the blue-robed magician was standing in the middle of the lookout. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at each other and simply stood beside him to observe the blue-robed magician’s fighting methods from a close distance.

This blue-robed wizard was of the earth element, and he was much faster than Cheng Huaiqian in chanting the most common earth spike technique. The spell of more than 800 words was abbreviated to only more than 200 words. In addition, he was extremely skilled in it, so chanting it was very easy. Soon, a row of earth spikes were seen stabbing a demon soldier below to death.

Cheng Huaiqian raised his eyebrows. There was a demon general not far away from this demon soldier. He was waiting to watch the battle between the magician and the demon general from close range.

The blue-robed magician obviously did not hear Cheng Huaiqian’s thoughts and was still leading the attack on demon soldiers.

The magician chanted low-level magic very quickly and quickly cleared out a lot of demon soldiers.

Cheng Huaiqian waited for a while, but the opponent didn’t attack the demon general, so he just stopped watching and started attacking himself.

In comparison, gold magic had stronger attack power, so Cheng Huaiqian used gold magic most of the time. Although his magic chanting speed was not as fast as that of a magician, his flexibility in controlling magic and sharpness of attack were not inferior at all.

In addition, Xia Ruize on the other side also joined the attack, and the number of demon soldiers on the battlefield in front of them decreased rapidly, especially in an area near the city wall, where there were no demon soldiers at all.

At this point, the magician looked at Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize with some dissatisfaction.

After all, they were still magic apprentices, so Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian’s magic attacks could not be too far away, and they could not attack the demon soldiers within an area of ​​more than 100 meters.

The magician was more powerful and could attack demon soldiers about 150 meters away, but the farther the target was, the more energy it consumed.

The magician was very upset. It was the first time that he teamed up with a magic apprentice and was robbed of monsters by the opponent to the point where he had no target to attack.

When all the nearby demon soldiers were attacked, attacking those far away was a bit disadvantageous, so the magician had no choice but to set his sights on a demon general in the area.

The tall demon general had a much more refined appearance and powerful attack power than the demon soldiers. Although the demon general stood under the city wall, with a swing of the long sword in his hand, the black magic attack would fly to the city wall.

The demon general also knew to target the lookouts on the city wall with his attacks. The human warriors hiding in the lookouts would try to dodge, and if they couldn’t dodge, they would throw out the spare wooden boards on the side.

The demon general’s attacks could not penetrate solid objects and were directly smashed apart by the wooden boards outside the city wall.

No matter what, demon generals were much more difficult to deal with than demon soldiers.

The magician who couldn’t find any demon soldiers to attack had to fight the demon general in the area. He first discussed with the magician next to him, and then the two of them began to chant magic one after the other. Two consecutive magic attacks fell on the demon general outside the city wall.

The demon general was enraged and immediately counterattacked, with a large amount of black magic attacks rushing towards the lookout.

Gardner reached out and pulled Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who were still standing closest to the lookout and watching, to the inner side of the city wall at the rear, and reminded them in a startled voice:

“Stay away! The demon’s counterattack after attacking is very dangerous.”

Xia Ruize saw that even the attacking magician himself had retreated from the lookout. An ordinary warrior pulled the switch next to him, and a stone door immediately covered the lookout, blocking the attack of the demon general.

The magician hiding inside the city wall continued to chant magic, and when the new magic was about to take shape, he made a gesture, and the magician next to him immediately cast his own attack magic.

While the demon general turned to attack the side room, the soldiers here quickly opened the stone door, and the magician’s attack immediately rushed towards the demon general below.

In this way, the two magicians teamed up to attack alternately. After four rounds, the demon general finally fell.

The magician wiped the sweat from his head, picked up his identity card posted on the city wall, looked at the battle record on the back, and nodded with satisfaction.

The dangerous demon general was killed, and the stone door at the lookout was completely opened. Several people began to attack the demon soldiers who had gathered during this period.

Half an hour later, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize walked to the inside of the city wall at the rear and sat down to draw the elements into their bodies. The magician couldn’t help but look back, and he couldn’t help but feel relieved. These two little guys finally behaved like normal magic apprentices.

As for magic apprentices, they should have poor attacking power and endurance, and should rest and accumulate magic power after every few attacks. They were not like the two of them just now, competing with him for demon soldiers happily. He even began to consider whether he should ask the dispatcher to change his room.

The magician who monopolized the entire lookout felt a long-lost sense of relief, and this feeling of relief lasted until Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian returned to the lookout and competed with him for the demon soldiers again.

Of course, Gao Hexuan also tried to capture the demon soldiers.

The four of them killed all the demon soldiers in the corresponding area. There were no demon generals or demon kings, only a field of Mochas.

The magician snorted and walked to the inside of the city wall to rest and restore his magic power. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were in good spirits and simply aimed their attack at the mochas below.

There was no end to the mochas, and ordinary soldiers would never mind if someone competed with them for the mochas. They were only worried that too much mochas would endanger the city walls.

So the four ordinary soldiers and Xia Ruize and his two companions cooperated well and cleared a large area of ​​the mochas in the corresponding area.

After resting for half an hour, the magician went to the observation post and looked outside. His eyes suddenly widened. Well, there were no demon soldiers or even Mochas in the corresponding area.

With a heavy snort, the magician turned around and left the room. No, he really had to ask the dispatcher to change him to another room. He couldn’t perform his duties at all while staying here.

Another six-hour day ended, and Gardner no longer had any doubts when faced with Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian who expressed their intention to stay on the city wall.

This time, the three non-Hua Country trialers did not leave immediately, but stayed with gritted teeth. They didn’t believe that if the three Hua Country trialers could hold on, why couldn’t they?

As it turned out, after an hour, the three non-Hua Country trialers could no longer hold on. Given their physical conditions, they felt exhausted and drowsy, and had to leave the city wall.

Two hours later, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian took Gao Hexuan out of the city wall, but they did not go back to rest. Instead, they plunged into the library to absorb all kinds of information.

Xia Ruize had a hunch that there were secrets in this mission world waiting for them to discover.

In this way, Gardner led five new magicians who had just arrived at the main battlefield, and took them hand in hand to familiarize themselves with the life in Sack City and get used to the busy battlefield.

Yes, after spending five days on the battlefield, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian felt more and more that the battlefield was busy rather than dangerous. The fighting continued day and night, but they rarely saw or heard of human casualties.

There were so many monsters, why didn’t they rush over all at once? Instead, they attacked slowly and continuously, rushing to the bottom of the wall as if they were completing a mission and then being killed by humans.

After a while, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian no longer felt nervous about going to the battlefield. Instead, a strange feeling came over them.

They watched from the sidelines and always felt that humans and monsters were not the two sides in a war, but that the daily battles were just routine work and cooperation.

After having a strange feeling in his heart, Xia Ruize tried to subtly test his red-haired native roommate and Gardner, a veteran in Sack city.

However, the red-haired boy who was tired of adapting to the battlefield and Gardner who had been on the battlefield for four years may have been influenced by the concepts and education they received since childhood and did not have similar strange feelings.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian felt that they were most likely observing from the sidelines and thus noticed something unusual.

Since they noticed the anomaly, the three of them had devoted a lot of energy to the library, trying to find clues from various documents.

After the five-day teaching mission was over, Gardner no longer had to follow the newcomers and watch them go to the battlefield every day. However, he was not ready to completely cut off contact with them. After all, these people were all powerful fighters and they could definitely make an appointment to attack the demon soldiers together.

Without a teacher following them, the trainees finally no longer had to be tied together to climb the city wall every day. Instead, they could disperse and at most just say hello to each other when they met in the same small building.

With the support of a large amount of magic potions and the cycle of continuous attack and cultivation, the upper limit of magic power that the body could bear continued to increase. After another five days, Xia Ruize was finally able to fully chant the higher-level fire magic Sea of ​​Fire.

After practicing for two days until he could cast the Sea of ​​Fire spell stably, Xia Ruize decisively went to the Magician Association’s auditorium in the center of the inner city to have his level reassessed. He was successfully promoted to a formal magician and changed into a blue robe.

The reason for such urgency was mainly because official magicians were allowed to enter the second underground floor of the library, where they could see more literature and materials that were only open to magicians.

The three of them absorbed most of the literature and materials open to magic apprentices in the underground level, but did not find any reliable clues. However, they did not get discouraged and continued to dig deeper.

Recently, the eight people in the small building were divided into three groups. They moved around separately during the day and returned to rest at night at irregular times. They often could not meet each other. So it was three days later that the three non-Hua Country trialers saw Xia Ruize wearing a blue robe, and by this time Cheng Huaiqian had also changed into a blue robe.

Looking at the other party’s blue robes and then thinking about their own gray robes, the three non-Hua Country trialers had very complicated expressions, with fear in their eyes, but they did not dare to move too close.

They entered the mission world and even the battlefield at the same time, but others had already been promoted to magicians while they were still wearing gray robes. The contrast was so stark that it made people blush.

Of course, the three non-Hua Country trailers were far less frightened than Gardner, who happened to be assigned to the same defense room with Xia Ruize and the other two that day. When he saw Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian in blue robes, Gardner subconsciously saluted, and then his movements froze in mid-air, his eyes widened with surprise.

“You, you got promoted?”

Gardner asked stutteringly, rubbing his eyes unconsciously, simply unable to believe what he saw.

Xia Ruize smiled and nodded to greet him. The next second, Gardner rushed to Xia Ruize and asked in a flattering manner with a smile, “Sir, please teach me how you were promoted so quickly?”

Xia Ruize couldn’t answer that they relied on killing demon soldiers to get treasure chests to increase the speed of improvement, so he could only say: “Maybe it’s because we spend a long time on the battlefield and fight many times, so the speed is improved faster.”

Gardner’s face suddenly turned bitter, and his eyes on Xia Ruize’s face were also full of doubt. How many battles had they fought? No matter how many battles they had fought, it was impossible for them to had fought as many times as he had fought in the past four years, right?

Xia Ruize could only touch his nose helplessly, cough twice, and look away, not knowing how to answer.

Fortunately, Gardner did not pursue the matter any further. If someone did not want to share the secrets, he could not force them to do so, but he had to curry favor with them for sure.

Then Gardner saw that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who had just been promoted to magicians, always aimed their attacks at the demon generals. Even if they chanted magic for a long time, they would first attack the demon generals when there were demon generals.

The usual practice on the main battlefield was that novice magic apprentices mainly attack the moshas. After a long time, when they had accumulated more magic power, they dare to fight against the demon soldiers.

Similarly, the main target of attack for a novice magician was still the demon soldiers. Only when he had accumulated enough strength could he really fight against the demon general.
