"hiss!"

A drooling ghoul pounced over with screams, and the other monsters followed and launched an attack.

Magic flowed between Zach's fingers.

Bang!

The ghoul flew backwards, knocked down a corrupt demon, and then lay on the ground and died.

The 0-ring level 3 [Crash Hand] is several times the power of [Push Hand], and hundreds of kilograms of power directly penetrate the ghoul's chest.

Zach put down his raised right hand, and the diamond-shaped hunting source pendant swayed on his chest, reflecting the metallic light.

But it is still dull.

In the past, Zach would hardly have used these low-ring spells, and only occasionally used them during research.

The recorded official spells in his soul space are basically all formal spells with more than one link.

However, now we cannot fight in the form of a trainee mage.

It has been almost a month since he came to this world, but his mage tower still has no response.

In order to adapt to the current situation, he made significant adjustments to his magic system and re-memorized many low-ring spells.

More monsters rushed up, and the black-haired mage advanced instead of retreating. He took two steps forward and directly put himself in the siege of several swamp monsters.

The stench rushed into his nose and made him dizzy, but this did not affect his consciousness, and the next spell followed one after another.

0-ring level 3 [Flame Nova]

With a strong wind, the air around him gathered towards Zach, and condensed into a circle of translucent liquid around him, which immediately burned into a circle of dazzling fire rings, like ignited tar.

Bang.

With a crisp snap of his fingers, the orange-red flame exploded around with Zach as the center!

The 700-degree flame accompanied by a huge impact force, blowing all seven or eight swamp monsters within a few meters around Zach, and several of them were even ignited directly.

Several water ghosts rolled around the ground. They had to rely on their wet epidermis to breathe on land, and their fragile skin was extremely fragile under the flames.

However, Zach did not give them a chance to extinguish the flames, and directly crushed their skulls with the [Hand of Crack].

After cooking these three water ghosts, Zach turned his head to face the remaining monsters. [Hand of Crack] knocked away two more zombies. He looked down and saw a corrupt zombie demon slowly crawling towards him.

This guy was burned half of his body by [Flame Rising Star] just now because he was closest to him, and his legs didn't fly.

‘It’s just right.’

[Master's Hand] lifted the dying corrupt food demon in the air, Zach stuffed a 3-second [Flame Hand] into its belly, and then turned around and threw it a few meters away.

The corrupted food demon rolled twice on the ground and stopped at the feet of the three slow corrupted food demons.

boom!

With a loud bang, flesh and blood flew everywhere!

The body of the corrupt demon is filled with corrupt gas, so corpse explosions often occur after death.

These gases are already flammable and are now ignited by the hands of flames. The power of the corpse explosion, which was not violent, has increased exponentially.

Not only did it blow up other corrupt food demons next to it, the flame tongue further ignited more corrupt gases and triggered a series of explosions.

One-third of the fences were overturned, and wood chips were mixed with flesh and blood and flying everywhere.

Several nearby zombies and water ghosts were blown to pieces, and other monsters were blown to pieces by the shock wave.

‘No intelligence, no tactics…’ Zach looked at the miserable monsters.

‘Although I’m not used to using zero-ring magic, it’s not difficult to destroy these monsters that are not even a mob.’

A sharp claw suddenly appeared next to Zach and stabbed straight into his neck.

In the flash, he barely avoided the attack, and his claws slid against the skin of his jaw.

Zach covered his chin and took two steps back to stabilize the center of gravity, feeling a little warm in his hand.

However, he looked around but did not find the attacker, only seeing a little light twisted in the faint mist and fleeting.

‘Mist Demon!’ Zach’s heart rings loudly.

The fog demon is an extremely difficult thing to deal with.

As long as there is thick fog, there may be small fog demons: mountain passes, rivers, lakes, and the most common ones are swamps.

They have strong arms and sharp claws that can easily tear apart human flesh and blood.

But this is still secondary. The fog demons have certain illusion abilities. They are good at deception, seduction and confusing people's hearts.

They manipulate fog to keep travelers alone, unable to see the road or hear sounds.

Their eyes can emit faint light like fireflies to attract lost access to their nests in swamps, caves or ravines.

Zach remembered the description in "The Monster Collection".

"If the night is still in the swamp, it is best to stay in place and wait for the sunrise, even if you have to stand in the waist water to feed leeches. The most important thing is that if you see light in the fog, absolutely, absolutely, never go to the light. Say important things three times." - Johnnis Strad, a famous guide, disappeared from the Wilson Swamp.

The most terrifying ability of the fog demon is to be invisible in the thick fog.

When there is no fog, the fog demon can even summon thick fog by itself.

Zach leaned against the wall, glanced around alertly, thinking about countermeasures while using the [Crash Hand] to repel the approaching monsters.

The fog demon is not a difficult opponent for the witch hunter.

The body of the demon hunter has been strengthened by the green grass trial and has a reaction speed much faster than that of ordinary people. When dealing with the fog demon, just lure him to appear, avoid his attack and then fight back.

But as a former arcane wizard, Zach is not much stronger and more agile than ordinary people. His melee skills may be better than ordinary people, but he is still a bit risky to deal with the situation in front of him.

The thick fog around was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of "chijiya" came one after another, and more fog monsters were eyeing each other nearby.

‘Seeking death.’ A large amount of magic began to surge in the body.

Being a little embarrassed by these little monsters, Zach was ready to use a one-ring spell to solve the current situation once and for all.

[Raising Storm], 1 ring level 3, compressed air and heated to create a flame explosion up to 3,000 degrees.

This spell is enough to directly evaporate steel into gas, and it is easy to burn the swamp within a radius of dozens of meters.

At this moment, the light and shadow twisted, and the sharp claws flashed out from the closest place.

'Oops!'

A spherical translucent shield appeared around Zach, blocking the sudden attack.

The mist demon's claws had already passed through the shield, but his pale and thin arms were unable to make any progress, as if they were "stuck" in the air by the shield.

Bang!

Along with a twisted scream, a short humanoid creature flew out of thin air.

[Hand of Collapse] hit the fog demon and knocked its entire body away, while the arm that was "stuck" on the shield was torn off from the shoulder.

Zach looked at the humanoid creature lying on the ground.

It has bare and white skin. Its body is hunched, less than one meter tall, but it has long and strong arms and claws. Its huge head is like a skeleton with dry skin, with pointed ears and a big mouth with sharp teeth.

The shield disappeared, and his broken hand fell to the ground with a snap.

Zach redirected his magic power and was about to continue releasing [Sheng Storm], a swelling pain suddenly came from his left hand. He looked down and realized that the forearm of his left hand had turned into purple.

‘It’s still too hard to release the formal magic…’

Just now, he was unable to see the fog demon attacking clearly in a hurry, so he had to release a spell - [Static Shield] - to wrap himself up.

This shield can drain the kinetic energy passing through the object without distinction, slowing it down until it is completely still.

It did resist the fog demon's sneak attack.

However, due to the rules, the shield that should have been a standard spherical shape turned into a twisted ellipsoid, and his left hand actually stayed outside the shield, and the shield cut off the blood flow in the left hand, which led to this result.

‘Fortunately, it’s just an arm. If the shield just passed through my head, I might have died of a sudden cerebral infarction...’

‘【Storm of Flame】is extremely powerful, but the caster must be careful to control the temperature around him. Once there is a slight mistake, the caster will be wiped out under the high temperature of 3,000 degrees.’

Thinking of this, Zach gave up the idea of ​​continuing to release [Scigarette Storm].

However, the tragic death of his companion did not make the other fog demons around him retreat, and the cunning screams were coming one after another, getting closer and closer.

‘Since you cannot release formal magic, then use a large amount of zero-ring magic to clear the field.’

The spell model was activated in Zach's mind, and ten seconds later, the origin response of the wizard world came in his mind.

In an instant, the surroundings became quiet, and a sultry heat enveloped the swamp that was dozens of meters. Even the dull corrupt demons stopped shaking and looked at the puddles reflected in red on the ground. The smarter ghouls looked up at the source of the heat-

The sky above their heads.

The air there is gathering into a translucent sphere, then heated by magic, igniting into an orange-red fireball, like a small sun.

[Fireball Technique], 0 ring level 3.

However, unlike ordinary fireball techniques, Zach did not choose to condense the fireball at hand, but placed the casting point in mid-air.

Of course, the casting point should not be too far away from the caster. For the spell model of 0 ring level 3, this range is 7 meters.
To be continued...
