“Looks like I’m going to have to fight them.”
Link stashed away his large bag, preparing for battle.
Looking at his temporary teammate, Elise Clark, Link asked seriously, “Elise, what do you think? Shall we attack together, or should we avoid them first?”
With their obvious intentions, Link’s choices were simple: there were only two.
Either maneuver swiftly and leave them eating his dust;
Or go head-on, damn it.
However, they were outnumbered, and evading could easily turn into a chase.
And as the opposition called for backup during the chase, it could easily turn into an ambush.
The situation would become increasingly unfavorable for Link.
So, Link decided to strike while the number of opponents was still small.
The key now was how this well-equipped rich girl by his side would choose.
Join the battle, avoid it, or backstab!
This would determine Link’s combat strategy.
“We’re teammates, of course I’ll help you.”
Elise Clark stated naturally, not caring in the least about her identity as a local Apprentice from the North District: “You say how to fight, I will absolutely follow your commands!”
“Good.”
Link nodded, choosing to believe her words for now.
He carefully surveyed the surrounding terrain and found that they were at a higher position. Whether they were to ambush after hiding or to launch a frontal assault, they had the advantage.
With that in mind, what was there to hesitate about?
Just let go and fight a grand battle.
“Extend the scouting range of your Bionic Eagle to see if there are any hidden reinforcements.”
Before taking action, Link decided to play it safe and made a cautious arrangement.
“Received.”
Elise Clark looked serious, performed a somewhat awkward salute, and began to operate her smart brain.
She switched between various scouting modes including but not limited to optical remote sensing, infrared thermal imaging, and ultrasonic waves, confirming that there were only three opponents in front of her.
Then, in a reporting tone, she said, “Report completed, the enemy has no reinforcements, requesting further instructions.”
At the same time, she was thinking, “This is fun, really fun.”
Elise Clark was in high spirits, immersed in the joy of role-playing, and couldn’t wait to shout, “Let’s start! Let’s start!”
Link felt more and more that his previous decision was correct.
Thankfully this was his teammate, even if it was temporary, and he didn’t know how long it would last.
But at least, he didn’t have to be endlessly entangled by this wealthy, domineering, and slightly mad rich girl.
Who knew if she would change her mind right after saying she wouldn’t disturb you.
Link didn’t suppress Elise Clark’s fighting passion, and directly stated his simple arrangement, “Elise, you attack from the left, swoop down from a high altitude, don’t rush to bomb with all your might, first attract attention. I will attack from the front, take care of them, then you can circle back from behind, and just escort me off the battlefield.”
“No problem, we’ll do it.”
After hearing the instructions, Elise Clark immediately cheered and leaped into the air with a tap of her boots.
Link also activated all effects of “Defender 3202”, boosting his defense strength and movement speed, and charged straight down from the small mound.
This was not like his usual style at all.
Rashly like a heavy tank, rushing forward recklessly.
Under the blessing of the “Double Casting” developed based on the Pseudo Destiny Witchcraft, two Water Shield Spells overlapped, forming two closely connected water shields at the forefront.
Under the blessing of the “Parallel Casting” developed based on the Pseudo Destiny Witchcraft, three more Water Shield Spells were simultaneously cast, three water shields spinning around Link, defending against any sneak attacks. “Brace for the enemy!”
The sudden change here at the small mound, whether it was Elise Clark’s ascent, or Link’s charge, was detected by the “Pure Blood Will” trio.
The leader stopped abruptly, raised his left hand to halt his companions, and shouted loudly.
His two companions reacted quickly.
The trio quickly went into a V formation, somewhat like a three-three system.
Of course, only the positions were similar, the roles were different.
The leader at the front was responsible for commanding or launching surprise attacks or frontal attacks, the pure blood on the left rear was responsible for firepower output or defense, and the pure blood on the right rear was responsible for reconnaissance or cover.
“Wooh! Hoo~”
Elise Clark let out a strange cry, swooping down from high altitude, showing no courtesy on first meeting, directly threw a couple of Self-Destructing Fire Thunders as a greeting, “Hello there!”
“This madwoman!”
The moment the leader saw Elise Clark and Link Grande together, he had a bad hunch.
Every first-year Apprentice Wizard in the North District knew that the second Miss of the Clark family, of the fifth generation, was a mad woman, a lunatic, who did whatever she pleased.
One second she would be laughing and joking with you, the next second she could start a fight.
Even her biological sister, a second-ring wizard, Franda Clark, couldn’t control her.
Scolding was useless, beating was useless, confining her countless times was useless.
If it weren’t for Vice President Lucia’s strict order that she must kill Link Grande whenever she sees him during the grand competition,
If the leader wasn’t afraid that waiting for Link Grande to be alone would cause his two companions to expose him, he would never choose to attack at this time.
Just as he thought, the trouble here it came.
He couldn’t help cursing in his heart, but the fight had to be fought.
“Defend!”
The leader reacted quickly, shouting to remind his companions, while he “Instant Cast” two Gold Shield Spells to deflect the falling Self-Destructing Fire Thunders.
The two pure bloods quickly took action.
The pure blood on the left rear activated a First Ring defense magic tool.
A bowl-shaped yellow shield just in time covered the two Self-Destructing Fire Thunders before they exploded.
Boom!
The yellow shield violently fluctuated.
Huge dull sounds echoed within it.
The ground shook violently, stirring up a large amount of dust and dead leaves.
The small animals hidden in the ground died tragically, their bodies shattered, blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
Luckily, the flames produced by the explosion were contained by the yellow shield and didn’t spread, otherwise, there would definitely be a strong stench. “Madwoman, she really is a mad woman!”
Seeing that the shield activated by the First Ring defense magic tool was almost broken by the Self-Destructing Fire Thunders of rune object level,
The leader couldn’t help but curse again.
Just how much additional materials did she add to these Self-Destructing Fire Thunders!
The Pure Blood from the right rear finally locked onto Elise Clark’s flight trajectory using their Reconnaissance Magic Tools in the high sky.
He took a powerful crossbow from behind and pulled the trigger, which was synced with the Reconnaissance Magic Tools.
The crossbow arrow, with the triple witchcraft effects of spell breaking, bleeding, and enchantment prohibition, darted towards Elise Clark like lightning.
“Hmph!”
Elise Clark remained calm. She patted a small bag on her left hand, and almost a hundred interference bombs flew out.
The scanning and tracking capabilities of Reconnaissance Magic Tools were instantly disrupted.
The crossbow arrow wobbled from left to right, up and down, making it difficult to continue tracking Elise Clark.
In no time, Elise Clark would be able to escape from the crossbow arrow.
At this time, Link had charged to within less than ten meters of the trio.
He still started with the secondary Misty Rain Technique.
It was conventional but not simple.
The breakthrough-level secondary Misty Rain Technique had some implications of the phrase “the wonderful use lies in one’s mind.”
Three super dense fogs, each the size of a head, precisely appeared in front of the three Pure Bloods. They were almost indefensible, instantly blocking their sight.
Yet, their figures were still exposed, seen clearly in Link’s eyes.
Except for the vast whiteness, the trio of Pure Bloods couldn’t see anything else.
Rather than being panic-stricken, their first reactions were all to actively trigger the defense mechanisms of their suits.
At the same time, twelve shots of the Leaf Arrow Technique were divided into three groups under the “Continuous Casting” and impetuously shot at the trio.
The Leaf Arrows weren’t powerful, but they could test the strength of the opponents’ defense.
“Pooh!”
When Link saw the three Leaf Arrows shattering directly without even touching the opponents’ clothes.
He recognized instantly that the trio was also wearing the “Defender 3202” suits.
He couldn’t help cursing out loud!
Were all the local apprentices in the North District filthy rich?
Wasn’t the “Defender 3202” suit supposed to be the primary choice of official wizards graduating from senior divisions who were preparing for the frontline? Why did each of the four people he met today have one suit?
How could Link have known that the “Pure Blood Will” had specially divided three elite trios for the sole purpose of assassinating him!
Each trio was well-equipped. They had not only the Reconnaissance Magic Tools and First Ring Defense Magic Tools, which were even more advanced than the Bionic Eagle, and the “Defender 3202” suits that had already been revealed, but also a communication tool with a built-in positioning function.
Their rapid assembly relied on this positioning communication.
Although he was cursing, Link’s attacks never stopped.
Through the “Continuous Casting”, there were still twelve shots, but this time it was the Thorn Entanglement.
The thorny vines sprouted from the ground, grew wildly, and wrapped around the arms and legs of the three Pure Bloods.
Almost at the same time, the violent wind summoned by the leader howled, blowing away the three super dense fogs that blocked their sight.
“Withering!”
“Fire! Thunder!”
When the leader saw the thorny vines growing all over the ground, he shouted out three words. He himself “Instant Cast” a Gold Arrow Technique, stabbing towards Link Grande.
He tried to break Link’s attacking rhythm.
The Pure Blood on the left consecutively “Instant Cast” two Withering Spells, but the effect was not obvious.
The right Pure Blood then relayed the Ignite Technique, finally clearing the thorny vines under their feet.
They also almost simultaneously pulled out two Self-Destructing Fire Thunders and threw them at Link.
Link and Elise Clark were not the only ones who preferred the budget-friendly and practical Self-Destructing Fire Thunders.
The double water shields met the two Self-Destructing Fire Thunders exploding in mid-air, with steam rising and scattering.
The attacks and defenses offset each other.
Though Link’s several attacks were all defused by the trio, and he was even counter-attacked twice, his goal had been achieved.
He suddenly sped up and burst out of the scorching steam, reaching the middle of the trio.
He quietly dropped a great weapon under his feet, hiding it among the sprawling thorns.
Link activated the Mind Closure Technique to the fullest, activated the Status Card of “Multi-Threading Thinking”, lasting for 5 seconds.
Then,
He transformed into a human-shaped magic machine gun.
Water ball, Water blade, Icicle, Water gun, Leaf Arrow, Wood thorn…
One after another, the Water System and Wood System Zero Ring attack spells were cast continuously in a very short time.
The Pure Blood trio was like knights from the cold weapon era encountering a Maxim machine gun.
Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly…
They were only able to defend.
They had no power to fight back.
It was suffocating.
In fact, Zero Ring spells can hardly break through the overall defense of the “Defender 3202” suit.
But Link had not only transmogrified himself into a Human-Shaped Magic Machine Gun but also into a Human-Shaped Supercomputer equipped with a top-tier Al.
Every attack from a witchcraft spell targeted the weak points of the “Defender 3202” suit, such as the neck, armpit, lower body, and eyes.
If they didn’t defend, even if they couldn’t penetrate the defense, it would still cause damage.
After all, Wizard Apprentices were not Official Wizards. Their life essence had not truly surpassed the mortal coil.
“Wooh – huh!”
Elise Clark finally got rid of the crossbow arrow with a tracking function and flew around in a circle, passing by.
Seeing Link’s dazzling barrage of chained witchcraft attacks, she couldn’t help but yell out and shouted aloud, “Awesome!”
The time had come.
Link put his legs together, tightened his hands to the sides of his body, activated the floating effect of his boots, and shot up.
Then at the moment when Elise Clark flew overhead, he grabbed her ankle.
“Get out of here, quick!”
Link shouted in a hurry, simultaneously activating the great weapon with his spiritual power.
Elise Clark immediately sped up.
The Pure Blood trio also heard Link’s yell.
“Scatter!”
Without caring about the ongoing Zero Ring spells’ attacks, the leader bent his arms to protect his head and shot forward.
The two Pure Bloods in the rearguard reacted similarly.
But it was already too late.
