Be it Erinya or the future Supreme Magus Your Honor, both appeared to be very patient when facing each other. The man and the monster faced each other in the lake. Neither of them was in a hurry to make a move.
Erinya's strong animal instincts told it that the person in front of it was very dangerous. It was also because of this that it purposely waited until Rob's figure disappeared before attacking the masked man and Jessica. Who knew that this guy would suddenly turn around and ruin its plan.
On the other hand, Rob was not confident that his spell would hit Erinya, so he did not make a move. The Man Killer Fiend was extremely fast in the water. Even the most agile fish could not compare to it. Although the future Supreme Magus Your Honor could instant-cast most spells below Grade 3 and a considerable number of Grade 4 spells, low and mid-grade spells had no effect on Erinya.
Even he needed time to cast a Grade 5 spell. To others, this might only be a short moment, but to the Man Killer Fiend, it was more than enough time for it to react. If it missed its target, it would not be easy to kill it again given how cunning Erinya was.
Archmage did not dare to let his guard down. A Man Killer Fiend had snuck into the Siamese Academy. This was definitely not a joke.
It was like a mischievous child breaking into a house filled with sweets and snacks. In a place full of teenagers and girls, with the habits of this monster, it would not take long for the place to turn into a bloody party.
However, what Rob did not understand was that Erinya had disappeared for hundreds of years. Even if there were a few that managed to escape the great purge, they must have hidden themselves deep in the forest. Why would they suddenly see such a monster in the Gudilesi Academy? And in the man-made lake of the Academy of Magic?
There was no way Archmage would believe that there was no help from others. Judging from the current situation, the owner of the magic circle was undoubtedly the biggest suspect. After all, he was the one who attracted everyone to the lake to play the game. Before Xavier appeared, the situation was under his control. In the first round of the game, he had invited the help of a fairy that rarely appeared in the Dawn Continent, so it was not surprising that he could get his hands on an Erinya.
From the development of the game, after the winner of the second round qualified to board the boat, the third round would most likely be played in the lake. According to this logic, this Man Killer Fiend was very likely related to the next game.
However, the future Supreme Magus, Your Honor, quickly overturned this conjecture. Although the self-proclaimed Lake Banshee kept emphasizing the danger of the game in the second round, Rob could feel that the Banshee had no intention of harming the game participants, including the magic trap and the cursed doll. He felt that it was more of a prank. There was no reason for the Banshee to suddenly raise the danger of the game to a fatal level after entering the third round. This did not match with the Banshee's usual behavior.
But if it wasn't that Banshee, who placed this monster in the man-made lake of Siamese? What was his goal? Was he trying to cause a massacre in Siamese? But what would he gain from doing so? How much did the game designer know about this?
The appearance of the Man Killer Fiend made tonight's events even more confusing.
The future Supreme Magister's heart skipped a beat. Just a moment ago, he felt the magic mark he had planted on Nana's body suddenly disappear. There were two possibilities for this to happen. Either the magic mark was discovered, or Nana had already left the area. The possibility of the former was relatively low. The magic mark was hidden very well, and Nana should not have had the time to stop and check her body while she was escaping. Therefore, the second possibility was more likely — Nana had already sneaked out of the lake.
Luo Bu noted down the last location where the marker had disappeared, feeling a little regretful. He had wanted to follow behind the marionette to see if he could find its owner, even though he knew that the chances of that happening were slim, judging from how cautious the marionette had been.
Erinia had been silently observing a certain someone, so naturally, Rob's distraction did not escape its eyes.
The cunning monster immediately realized that its chance had come! Jessica's vision blurred for a moment before she lost sight of Erinia.
The female officer was shocked. She had been holding her staff tightly. Originally, she wanted to help the guy in the bubble distract the monster when they fought, but now she couldn't even see its movements.
Jessica finally realized that the monster didn't even use its full strength when it was fighting her. The female officer couldn't help but worry for the guy in the bubble. With such terrifying speed, let alone casting a spell, he couldn't even react. Was there really a Magician who could complete the incantation?
The answer was yes.
Rob's Grade 5 spell, Chains of Light, took less than half a second to complete the incantation. In order to ensure that the spell landed accurately on Erinia, the future Supreme Magus, Your Honor, even deliberately paused for half a second. Only when Erinia's sharp teeth were less than half an inch away from his neck and he could smell its stench did Rob finish the spell.
The next moment, a golden light fell from the sky and nailed Erinia's scaly body to the ground.
The distance between them was too close, and the attack was too sudden. Erinia had no chance to dodge.
Luo Bu did not pause at all. He immediately began chanting the next spell. Chains of Light was a control-type spell. Its damage was limited, but its incantation was simple. Among the tier-5 spells, it was relatively easy to cast. That was why the future Supreme Magus was able to complete the incantation in such a short time. Moreover, light magic was less affected by water, while water magic was more effective in lakes. Unfortunately, Erinia was a monster that lived in lakes all year round, so its resistance to water magic was very high.
The next spell that Luo Bu chose was called Golden Spear. It was a relatively rare light magic that pursued the greatest degree of lethality. However, even a Great Mage would need two to three seconds to complete the incantation of this spell.
Erinia seemed to know that it was in danger. It struggled with all its might. Its scales stood up, and it let out a mournful howl. Its hands kept tearing at the invisible shackles.
But it was all in vain.
Two seconds later, Rob finished the incantation of the second spell, and a spear made entirely of light elements appeared in front of Erinia.
