CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 41: KILL!!

If Lisa could see the pure "Long-range Water Needle"—

she would see that Brian was pierced through the heart by a dazzling, dreamlike, beautiful yet extremely fierce and swift blue water needle, before collapsing to the ground.

She would also see that the other two met a similar fate.

One of them was pierced by a dazzling water needle that continued its momentum to strike one among the many magic apprentices.

The other water needle, after penetrating another person, traveled through layers of space and happened to hit the highest point of the Magic Guild’s emblem on the roof of Hubert’s Magic Laboratory in the town center: a being engulfed in roaring flames, resembling some non-human entity.

—if Lisa and the many magic apprentices present could see the "Long-range Water Needle!"

"Water Magic, turns out to be so dazzling."

Andrew, of course, could see the form of his own magic.

"However, this ’Invisible Enchantment’ indeed, as the mysterious female voice mentioned, automatically adds to all my magic skills. No matter how dazzling the spell, under this enchantment effect, it becomes plain and invisible."

Andrew now truly understood how powerful the "Invisible Enchantment" was.

This certainly had great benefits: "It seems in the future, I won’t have to worry about the issue of my identity as a Water Mage being exposed."

Andrew realized he could freely wield magic in the future without having to worry about concealing himself.

"But at the same time, it also raises a slight issue."

Andrew was a bit speechless at the moment, "These guys... are really ignoring my existence, aren’t they?! Though hiding was my goal, you can’t completely treat me as a harmless invisible presence!!"

Logically, after stepping forward and taking down the guy named Grace with thunderous means, the magic apprentices outside the camp should have immediately focused all their attention on me.

But instead, they didn’t. Led by Lisa, they ridiculed and scorned me.

And now, after enduring Brian’s "Seven Fireball Array" with "Flame Immunity" and unleashing three "Long-range Water Needles" in return, directly taking down Brian and Lisa’s other two backups or lovers—

the many magic apprentices present still didn’t think I did anything!

This left Andrew somewhat helpless: "The effect of this Invisible Enchantment is too good, isn’t it?!"

Lisa was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shouted sharply:

"The tent! That tent—"

Looking toward the tent where Barbara was.

She thought it was the target that Teacher Hubert specifically named to be hunted, the one who escaped from under Hubert’s nose, namely Barbara, who caused the current scene!

After all, it made sense, being someone who escaped from Teacher Hubert’s grasp.

In fact, this was one of the reasons Lisa and others gathered to surround the temporary camp but hadn’t immediately rushed in. Not only because Hubert’s order was only to gather and surround, not to attack immediately. In such a situation, none of the magic apprentices present wanted to be counter-attacked by a desperate person targeted for capture, acting as stepping stones for others!

"What about that tent?"

Andrew’s voice came out from amid the dark red tongues of flame still rolling at the camp entrance, "Where exactly are you looking? Here, here!" It was hard to tell if being habitually ignored was a blessing or a nuisance.

Lisa was stunned again, obviously not expecting to hear Andrew’s voice.

Then, she incredulously turned her eyes over to where he was.

Only to see Andrew, whom she thought Brian had burned to ashes, walked out from the roaring flames once more.

Almost unscathed!

"Can you give me a little basic attention..."

Andrew sighed helplessly, speaking while raising a hand to point at Lisa, "I said, come at me if there’s an issue, it doesn’t concern others, right? I said—those who cross the line of thunder will die! Didn’t I tell you this?! Damn it, where the hell are you looking? Here, look here, you wretched woman!"

Lisa suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, momentarily unable to think: "Flowing Fire Shield!"

A small wave of her hand, and three fire shields composed of flowing flame formed in front of her, standing between her and Andrew.

Although she couldn’t see the Long-range Water Needle, at this moment Lisa truly felt her life was under unprecedented threat.

However, the "Flowing Fire Shield" she released had just formed when, seemingly unable to withstand some irresistible invisible force, three quiet sounds popped consecutively, and the three shields were penetrated one after another. The intervals between the three sounds were so short that they gave the impression that the three shields were pierced simultaneously!

Lisa’s body shook violently.

Her charming eyes widened, and after a moment, she looked down with some difficulty, full of disbelief.

She saw a patch of red blood slowly staining and spreading across the fabric of the magic robe at her chest.

"Though it’s not quite appropriate to say this..."

Andrew’s voice came across once more, unable to resist retorting to Lisa’s previous "peasant theory," "If, according to your so-called ’peasant theory,’ your father and mother, your elders, all your ancestors, were they all noble magicians as you call them? Were none of them ’peasants’? Those who raised you, are they also not ’humans’ in your eyes!!?"

Lisa opened her mouth: "Nonsense! Those among them who weren’t mages don’t even deserve to be my ancestors, alright? From me on, there will be no more ’peasants’ bearing my blood. If my future children cannot become mages, I’ll personally eliminate them! I won’t give them the chance to shame me!"

But what actually came out were only gurgles of blood.

With a plop, Lisa fell down as well.

This time, no magic apprentices laughed mockingly or jeeringly!

All the magic apprentices displayed expressions of shock.

Then... damned if yet another person couldn’t help but direct their gaze toward the tent where Barbara was.

Andrew, furious, jumped up straight: "Here, look here, look at me here! How many times do I have to say this? Whether it’s Lisa, or Brian, or Grace just now, these beasts who treat people like dirt, I took them out! It was me!"

"You... you’re full of shit!" The magic apprentice who had looked towards Barbara’s tent shouted back at Andrew, "I didn’t sense any magical skill trajectory or aura coming from you at all!!"

"..."

Andrew didn’t speak further this time.

Forget it, better not say more.

I’ve... admitted it already, enough?

Though the magic apprentices in front of them invariably held preconceptions.

But Andrew could feel that the eyes of the camp residents in the tents behind him had unconsciously changed.

They were beginning to believe: it was he who took out the enemy.

This was also partly because the residents didn’t know about Barbara’s existence, but regardless, once belief began to form, it was formed!

The evidence was: the Fire Extinguishing Value on his left index finger, which he hadn’t used while taking out Brian and Lisa earlier, was soaring!

What Andrew did not know was—

Though the camp residents still habitually felt fear, didn’t dare come out, didn’t dare resist.

Lisa’s words just now had simultaneously provoked Andrew, but also deeply provoked the residents in the camp.

The men couldn’t help but clench their fists, and the women unconsciously bit their lips!

Then, they saw Andrew pierce and knock down those who treated them as non-humans with impunity.

At this moment, a thought took root in everyone’s hearts, planted by Andrew, and deeply embedded:

"Are these Flame Magic Apprentices simply... paper tigers?"
