The white light was so intense that it could blind someone's eyes.
But the light disappeared as quickly as it came.
Because of the optical nerves' delay, for several seconds, the whole world was dark in the eyes of the five Summoner girls.
Then, a white flame rose, dimmed, and continued to rise, turning into a red mushroom cloud.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, one could see a circle of red air spreading out at a high speed, sweeping everything.
Very soon, it reached the foot of the mountain, and the trees were already burning before the air could approach.
Even at a distance, one could hear the rumbling of the air as it advanced.
There was also the whistling, sharp sound of the wind.
The air rushed halfway up the hill and stopped.
The bottom became a sea of fire, and everything was crackling and burning.
It was a good day. There was no wind at first, but the intense heat rose, pushing the mushroom cloud higher and higher, and then the slightly colder air dropped. Because the air in the area flowed too fast, it even formed a fierce mountain wind.
The wind made the trees around rustle.
The creatures summoned by the Elven Summoners were all intelligent, especially the unicorns, whose intelligence was not much different from that of ordinary human beings.
Also, they were all very protective of nature, and they all looked anxious and uneasy when they saw that the area around them was burning.
The unicorn even kept staring at Roland's fiery form, as if it wanted to put it out.
But fortunately, it could tell friend from foe and didn't really do that.
Roland waited for the bottom of the basin to burn for a while before he returned from his fire elemental form to his human form.
At this moment, he only had one-third of his mana left, but statistically speaking, his remaining mana was actually much more than that of Mages of the same level when they were at full strength.
At this moment, the army of summoned creatures had completely surrounded the entire basin.
And they even actively participated in the fire extinguishing, creating a fire barrier to prevent the mountain fire from burning up from below.
The Gray Bone Altar in the basin below had been burned to ashes, and the whole area was dark. Naturally, the skeletons that came and went were not spared.
About half an hour later, thanks to the efforts of a large number of summoned creatures, the mountain fire was put out.
Thanks to Roland's Zeal, as well as the effect of the magic regeneration equipment on Roland, his magic power was now almost full.
Solisa walked over with the unicorn and asked, "Do you need us to go down and search?"
Roland looked at the unicorn, who was looking at him with a pair of beautiful golden eyes.
He looked rather unhappy.
"Is that okay?" Roland turned around and looked back at Solisa. "These summoned creatures don't seem to like ruined forests or places with too much dark magic power."
Solisa smiled and said, "It's fine. They know what to do. Besides … the will of us Summoners is also very important."
This was the benefit of having a high Charisma.
Summoners with high Charisma would do whatever they wanted their summoned creatures to do, even if they wanted them to do things they didn't like. Normal charm, the summoned beast may consider, will hesitate. If it was ugly, the summoned creature would most likely rebel on the spot and kill its master.
F * ck him, he actually made me do such a disgusting thing.
That was why girls especially liked to be Summoners. They could increase their Charm like crazy, and they would be beautiful. The summoned beasts would all be loyal to them. How great was that?
"Then I'll have to trouble you to help me search for it." Roland suggested, "However, the enemy may be in the hole. If the hole is more than ten meters deep, it will probably not be affected by the explosion. Be careful that he suddenly appears and attacks you. "
"Got it. We'll hide in the sea of summoned beasts."
Solisa and the others often did mercenary missions and participated in battles.
They knew how to protect themselves.
But whether or not you reminded them could indirectly show a person's EQ.
Sometimes, saying one more word would give people a better impression and make them think that you were a nice person.
After slightly nodding at Roland, Solisa rode the unicorn and swarmed down with her sea of summoned beasts.
Although the other four Summoner girls were far away on the other side of the mountain, they saw that Solisa's troops moved. As good friends and teammates, they immediately understood what Solisa meant without receiving any instructions. They also drove their sea of summoned beasts to the basin.
Very soon, a net was formed, and there were countless summoned beasts flying here and there in the sky.
Under such an intense search, no one would be able to escape.
However, after searching the entire area, apart from a thick layer of bone ash and black soil, there was no sign of any living beings.
In the end, everybody and the summoned beasts gathered in front of the hole.
Compared with the ground that was still emitting slight heat, this place was very cold, and a cold air was slowly coming out of the hole.
Solisa and the other five girls all looked at the hole unhappily. She turned her head and said to Roland, "Sorry, we don't want to go into such a place. Even if we go in, we won't be able to use much of our strength."
Roland nodded to show that he understood.
The Summoner was a class that won with numbers. They were only powerful when they surrounded or attacked together.
Places like caves and underground were very narrow and easy to defend and difficult to attack.
All the advantages of the Summoner class were erased by the terrain.
"But we can help you guard the hole and prevent other enemies from entering."
"Thank you."
Roland smiled and dropped three magic spiders. Then, he turned into a fire element and walked into the dark hole.
With the three magic spiders scouting ahead, Roland didn't deliberately slow down his pace.
Liches, or Dark Mages, were best at curses, but those spells usually only worked on the body of flesh and blood.
The few spells that worked on the mind were limited by the system's Soul Protection rule.
It could be said that Roland was almost a complete counter to the Dark Mages.
The three magic spiders moved very fast and soon entered the depths of the hole.
Roland, on the other hand, stopped near the entrance of the cave.
The magic patterns on the cave walls turned red, and it was getting brighter.
Now Roland finally knew the purpose of the barrier in the cave.
It absorbed non-dark magic elements.
The absorption was so subtle that Roland didn't even notice it.
But fortunately, Roland had the system.
Now, there were constant prompts in the system notification.
Messages like Magic Power -1, -1, -1 kept popping up.
No wonder the magic spiders disappeared earlier.
And now the magic spiders that had entered the depths of the cave lost contact with him again.
Roland pressed his hand on the patterns of the cave and cleverly poured magic power into the barrier.
His mental power mixed with this magic power and quickly found the core of the barrier along the patterns. Then, his mental power burst out and destroyed the entire barrier instantly.
It wasn't a simple thing.
Generally speaking, all barriers had a protection mechanism that would take effect if it was infiltrated by a powerful external force.
The barrier would be temporarily closed to effectively protect the core.
But Roland himself had a deep understanding of magic barriers, and his ability to control magic power was written in the talent column and certified by the system.
The talent of Magic Power Control allowed him to control magic power to an inhuman level.
It was estimated to be only below the Goddess of Magic.
So he could easily pour a trace of magic power that wouldn't trigger the defense mechanism of the magic barrier into the patterns of the barrier and even follow the patterns to find the core.
For an ordinary mage, this was definitely a fantasy.
Seeing the red patterns on the cave walls quickly darken, Roland smiled a little smugly, then threw down three magic spiders again.
Let's see what method you're going to use to destroy these three scouting 'eyes' that are very hard to discover.
After the three magic spiders burrowed into the darkness again, Roland continued to stride forward.
Because the fire man had his own light source, he didn't need to use any additional spells like Illumination this time.
After walking for about five minutes, he suddenly stopped.
Because the magic spiders sent back an image.
At the end of the pitch-black cave, there was an almost circular space that looked like a burial pit.
There were many different kinds of undead creatures crowded there, clustered around the lich in the middle.
In the minds of the average person, a lich was the kind of creature that had sores on the top of its head, pus on the soles of its feet, and a rotten smell all over its body.
But this Lich was different. He was quite handsome, had blond hair, blue eyes, and a strong body.
If it weren't for the fact that his face was slightly pale and he was surrounded by a group of undead creatures, people would definitely believe that he was the son of a certain large family.
He seemed to see the magic spiders too, smiled contemptuously, and then crooked his finger at the magic spiders.
He almost shouted, "You come here!"
In that case.
Roland quickened his pace and soon arrived at the end of the crypt.
The lich saw a blue fire man coming from a distance, snapped his fingers, and the undead creatures that surrounded him slowly parted.
A straight passage appeared between the two of them.
"Blue fire man, it's really you, Roland." His eyes were bursting with intense hatred. "The forbidden spell attack on the ground just now was your famous unique skill, the Self-Exploding Fireball Spell, right?"
"It's indeed me." In the form of fire elements, Roland's voice was dull. "You can't get away. My people are all over the outside. Tell me, how many accomplices do you have, and why are you attacking me? "
The man laughed so happily and crazily that his body was shaking nonstop. "You're threatening a lich? Don't you know that you can't kill me until you find my phylactery?"
Roland nodded. "Of course I do, but I've memorized the waves of your mental power. It doesn't matter. I'll find a way to create a spell or a magic item that can be used to search for mental power and distribute it everywhere. My power alone is indeed insignificant, but the power of money is enormous, as long as you have enough gold coins."
He wasn't lying.
The Church of Magic was giving him more and more money every month, and the magic teleportation arrays were being established steadily. At this moment, a third of the major cities in Fareins had already been established.
Many small countries had begun to establish magic arrays too, which was beneficial for their transportation and national management.
Also, as the magic arrays were gradually established all over the world, Roland's monthly income would be quite unbelievable.
Of course, the Church of Magic would have more money. After all, they were the biggest earners.
Most of the time, more money was easier to get things done.
The lich's face turned green after hearing Roland's words.
He had imagined a lot of scenarios. For example, Roland would be furious when he found out that he was a lich. After learning that he couldn't be targeted, Roland would beg or negotiate with him in such a way.
However, he didn't expect that Roland would threaten him in such a way.
If it was really as Roland said, and there were people looking for him everywhere, then the space he could move in would be greatly reduced.
Also, he probably wouldn't be able to enter Hollevin anymore.
Thinking about that, he said gloomily, "Roland, you're truly ruthless."
"Not as ruthless as you. There's no grudge between us, and you're asking for trouble?" Roland raised his eyebrow. "Why do you guys in wolf masks want to kill me? Have I ever sabotaged your plans before? "
Chuckling, the lich put on his wolf mask. "There's no grudge, no hatred. We simply want to hunt you. "
So they were only after him?
"Roland, we can only target you in the future, but not your friends and lovers," the lich suggested. "You're not allowed to hunt us down with your forces, either."
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
Without any hesitation, Roland launched a regular Inferior Fireball at him.
It was a natural attack of the fire element.
The lich reacted quickly and threw out a black bone spear, which hit the regular Inferior Fireball. Both of them were annihilated.
"Why didn't you accept my suggestion?" the lich said gloomily. "It's obviously fair!"
"Fair?" Roland burst into laughter and threw out the Inferior Fireballs of the fire element crazily, before he said, "You really think I'm an idiot. What's there to talk about with you?"
At first glance, the lich's proposal seemed fair.
If Roland didn't hunt them down with other forces, they wouldn't attack Roland's family and friends.
One condition for another.
But the problem was that they came to Roland for trouble first. Why?
As long as you jumped into their trap and focused on the so-called "principle of fairness," you would ignore that.
Then, you would be taken advantage of for nothing.
The Inferior Fireballs of the fire element could also explode. They were actually quite powerful, but naturally, they couldn't compare to Roland's signature fireball.
But even so, the fireballs kept exploding in the cave.
It was like a platoon of soldiers throwing grenades at the same time.
The roars of the explosions echoed incessantly.
The densely packed undead creatures fell down like wheat stubble that had been cut.
The lich could only raise his dark magic power shield and coldly watch Roland's attack.
He couldn't do anything.
The lich was best at cursing and summoning undead creatures.
His advantages were all restrained by Roland.
Very soon, all the undead creatures in the cave were cleared.
The Lich was the only one left standing there with a weak Magic Shield.
"Your friends and lovers will die miserably, I swear by the blood of the lich."
"Humph!"
Roland didn't bother to listen to him. He simply condensed a small blue fireball, which was about twenty centimeters in diameter, and threw it out.
After the intense explosion, the lich disappeared without a trace. Even half of the cave collapsed.
In reality, a blue fireball of this size was as powerful as a 100-millimeter cannonball.
In the game, with the high attributes and the bonuses of various talents.
This cannonball was at least 250-millimeter.
Roland returned to his human form and put on a mysterious smile.
The lich didn't seem to say or reveal anything.
But through conversation and observation, Roland still grasped a lot of information.
The high intelligence and observational skills of mages were not just for show.
