Confused and full of the sound of the wind, Duke woke up with a sharp pain under his right rib, and in a somewhat confused vision, he found that the scene had changed from the fire-lit Northshire Abbey to the pitch-black branches of Elwin's Forest.

"Boy, can you hear me?"

"Uh......" Listening to the other party's deliberately suppressed voice, Duke knew that it was impossible for him to know who the other party was. Anyway, Duke swears he doesn't know this guy at all.

With his mouth wide open, Duke found himself unable to speak at all he could do with a single blood blister. It was only then that Duke realized that he had been stabbed into a dagger under his right ribs, and the paralyzing poison made him feel less sensitive, but the severe pain was still beyond the scope of the paralyzing poison, causing Duke a burst of heart-wrenching pain.

"Boy, let your death be clear. If you don't embarrass Sir Brando so much during the day, maybe for the sake of your mage qualifications, the Brando family will also accept you into the family and be a family mage to guard the door. Hehe...... It's a pity that you have that talent. ”

"Uh......" Duke wanted to scold, but the piercing of the dagger caused a large amount of blood to flow into his lungs, and most of his lungs were so flooded with blood that he couldn't speak.

!!

Sure enough, the nobles don't have any good goods!

An emotion called regret stains Duke's heart entirely. As a law-abiding college animal, Duke's heart is still not complete, so he is recruited.

Extremely simply fell to the other party's revenge, and Brando only sent an unknown thief to bring him down.

"Boy, don't think anyone is going to give you a head. No matter how talented you are, you can't turn it into strength, you're still that fragile little guy. Rest assured, I will take good care of you. The other grabbed Duke's face, forcibly twisted Duke's neck, and pointed to a little hazy distance.

It was by the lake, with a lot of rough triangular houses. Then there was a large number of monsters by the lake with their upper bodies like fish, but with strange humanoid limbs.

Duke recognized it right away.

"Yes! Fishman!" the other party laughed fiercely: "A boy who is not familiar with life, he can't sleep at night because he is so excited that he accidentally wanders into the Elwin Forest, and he encounters a fish-man who is not afraid of meat, and he is eaten." Isn't this a perfect script? At least no one can prove that Sir Brando did it, even if anyone is suspicious. ”

Duke's body shuddered. The thought that his body was about to be torn apart by those sharp, foul-smelling teeth made Duke feel sick.

It was dark, and Duke was dead.

The other party still overestimated Duke's small body. Maybe in the other party's opinion, the civilian boy can stay up for about twenty minutes.

"What? I'd like to hear your screams as you were devoured alive by the fish-men, and then record them with magic crystals to give to Lord Brando. The other party looked full of chagrin, but in an instant, he was relieved: "Forget it, bring back the residue of the fish-man after devouring his corpse, and let the adults know that he suffered enough before he died, then it is barely okay." ”

With that, the Rogue Assassin stepped forward and tried to drag Duke by the legs, pick him up again, and throw him to the Fishman.

As he carried Duke, he suddenly noticed that the weight on his shoulders was gone.

"Oh, is it? I'll do the same to you, and you're okay with that?" Duke's cold voice sounded like a ghost behind the thief.

The voice of the system elf rang in Duke's ears non-stop, obviously the continuous voice should be very slow, and it took a lot of time, Duke suddenly found that the voice was compressed, just as an advanced computer can complete countless billions of calculations in a second, and the system's voice turned into words, patterns, and even mind-synchronized information that Duke could understand.

And in the outside world, not even a thousandth of a second has passed.

"The host has been detected to be in a major crisis. Estimated enemy reaction time is 0.3 seconds. Ignore ...... during casting. When it detects that there is no element to borrow from the outside world, it will automatically extract the mana inside the host instead...... In the entropy calculation, the spell model is reset ......"

"The special skill [Calm and Relax] is activated. ”

"[Calm and Relaxed]: Ultra Demon Specialty, which can automatically ignore the cast time of the next non-instantaneous spell and change it to instantaneous. ”

"The system is automatically calibrated...... Level 1 [Flame Blast] launch!"

Before he could react, the thief was horrified to find himself behind him with a blazing flame glare and a flame stone as large as a basin of water smashed into his head......

"Bang-" Unguarded, this thief brother almost ate Duke's [Flame Explosion Technique]! The whole person flew upside down and fell into flames, letting out a terrible scream.

It's over?

Not yet!

Duke didn't know how strong this guy was, and endured the discomfort caused by the system forcibly launching the [Flame Explosion Technique] just now, and almost swallowed the vomiting sensation in his chest and abdomen, and began to rub the second [Flame Explosion Technique].

Duke didn't know if he could succeed, and he didn't know if his mana was enough, so he instinctively decided that this guy would definitely not hang up yet, and he had to make up for it.

The system kept ringing: "Mana backlash is detected in the host's body, the chance of casting failure is increased by 38.78%, and the fire element input is automatically balanced...... Cast time increased to 8 seconds and spell power increased by ......"

8 seconds!

8 seconds to decide life and death!

If given a choice, Duke would never stupidly stand still and rub the fireball for seven seconds. The tragedy is that Duke, the so-called apprentice of magic, has only one spell. He had mastered the [Flame Explosion Technique] nonsensically, but he couldn't even know the [Fireball Technique] before the [Flame Explosion Technique].

Faced with a thief with high agility and speed, and whose strength was many times stronger than his own, Duke knew very well that his other hand-to-hand attacks would be nullified.

There is only one way to rub the [Flame Explosion Technique]!

The thief was still rolling on the ground, and although the flames wrapped around him could deal continuous damage in addition to the instant damage, Duke could clearly see that the fire was waning.

When the thief regained his mobility, it was another time for him to die.

Eight seconds! Eight seconds, which seemed to be eight hundred years, finally passed, and with the expectation of Duke to kill his opponent, a ball of flame as large as a brazier was pushed out of Duke's palm again.

A detail that destroyed all of Duke's hopes, because Duke was horrified to find that the thief who was rolling stopped rolling, and in the raised head, his eyes opened, and it was a pair of fierce eyes full of murderous intent - boy, I will break you to pieces!

That's what those eyes say!
