I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages

It is an unexpected joy to learn the "Ninth Curse of Mystra" here.

This means that the suicide ring on Roger's right index finger is finally no longer a decoration.

Excluding self-injury factors, Burning Storm is a very useful spell.

Roger had a hunch that the Suicide Ring might have a miraculous effect in the battle against Shelob.

He put the spell book in his backpack before he started packing the other trophies.

In Moss's laboratory, there are not many valuable things-human organs and limbs that are most valuable to him are meaningless to Roger.

Been busy for a while.

87 copper tokens, 13 magic scrolls, 1 scroll bag, 1 bottle of dragon acid glue, 1 bundle of magic rope...

That's all the stuff Roger scavenged from the lab.

"I don't even have a staff, so I'm so poor that I don't look like a mage."

Fortunately, there are spell books.

In addition to spell books, Roger also took 4 spell books.

He is not a mage, so naturally he cannot understand the contents of the book.

But things like spell books can be sold for money, and if you are lucky, you can even sell them for a high price.

Among these spell books, the one that caught Roger's attention the most was a mysterious book with a gilded vertical pupil engraved on the cover——

The Book of Hell.

The author is "Villanius".

From Moss' experiment log, Roger knew that this Villanius was his original mentor.

The breath spell shows that Moss' occupation is a blood mage apprentice.

Then this Villanius is very likely to be a real blood mage.

"This vertical pupil always feels a little familiar."

"The name Villanius is also..."

Roger frowned.

There were footsteps on the steps.

He hurriedly packed his things and went out.

...

Bone sentry.

Terry lived up to expectations and took the Eastern Tower with no injuries.

This boosted the morale of the adventurers.

And Roger, who single-handedly captured the western tower, was also sought after by everyone.

It's just that this guy disappeared after taking down the tower, which made everyone very puzzled.

It took a long time before anyone discovered the existence of the bloody pothole.

But at this time, Roger had already come out with a bulging backpack.

He reported to Dorothy what he saw and heard in the bloody pit.

Just skipped the process of killing Moss himself.

Terry's face turned pale in an instant when he heard that the Shelob was plundering people along the Knight's Avenue.

The rest of the adventurers also showed righteous indignation.

And when they saw the bloody corpses with their own eyes, several young adventurers vomited all over the floor.

The hideous scene in the blood-colored pit greatly dilutes the joy brought by taking down the bone sentry.

However, everyone's morale was also ignited to the extreme.

The hatred for this kind of conscienceless evil will prompt them to do everything in their power to kill the Shiluo demon.

That night, for safety reasons, everyone temporarily withdrew to the Dwarf Mountain to camp.

before bed.

Roger found Dorothy and expressed his thoughts:

"From the current intelligence, the human skin in the laboratory is very important to Shelob."

"He shouldn't give up this batch of human skins easily."

Dorothy understood instantly and said:

"You mean, use these human skins as bait?"

"Well, even if the corpse demon cannot be attracted, at least some skeleton soldiers can be consumed."

Roger said.

The trickiest thing about Shelob is that he has hundreds of skeleton soldiers under his command.

The individual combat effectiveness of skeleton soldiers is not strong, but when they are assembled into an army, the overall combat effectiveness will undergo a qualitative leap.

Adventurers are often good at fighting alone or in small groups.

And it is a very bad decision to let them confront an army head-on, even if it is a skeleton army with a discounted combat effectiveness.

Roger's proposal was approved by all.

...

In the next two days.

The main force lay in ambush on the road between the depths of the southern mine and the bone sentry, and they encountered several skeleton soldiers who came to the bone sentry to find out.

Under the leadership of Dorothy and Terry, the main force of the crusade team wiped out all the skeleton soldiers who came to help them almost without injury.

The only adventurer who had an accident accidentally twisted his waist because he was too excited when charging.

Eliminate 49 skeleton soldiers in two days.

Such a result is enough to make everyone excited.

Some young adventurers have already fantasized about the beautiful scene after killing Shelob.

Fortunately, Roger, who has been paddling for the past two days, still remained calm:

"There's no need to be too complacent. Shelob is not a fool."

"There shouldn't be a small group of skeleton soldiers coming, or they won't come, or the corpse demon will take action."

In Roger's mind, the latter is more likely.

Over the years, the southern mines have become the exclusive domain of the shelob.

As long as he still wants to control this land, there is no reason to continue to ignore the provocations of the northern visitors.

Under Roger's urging, the adventurers in both the main group and the support group were fully motivated and fully prepared.

It's time to fight the Shelob to the death.

It's just that time passes day by day.

The main force of the Shiluo demon was still missing.

Everyone was puzzled and suspicious, but they could only wait around the bone sentry.

Until five days later.

A scout from the vanguard team arrived late and brought an important piece of news——

"The shelob has escaped!"

...

In the afternoon two days later.

The western part of the southern mine, bordering the Dragon Slaying Mountain Range.

Roger lay on the top of the mountain, took the binoculars from Dorothy, and observed the orderly army for a while.

"They're really retreating."

"This direction should be towards the Bone Burial Ground..."

As the most experienced adventurer in the team, Terry was also a little confused:

"Why did they retreat? Did they escape because they predicted our attack in advance?"

For this reason, he himself did not believe it.

Roger was equally surprised.

Although he is sure of victory, why would Sheluo be afraid of a newly formed human crusade team?

It doesn't look like a trap either.

After all, if no one from the scout team discovered the abnormal movement of the Skeleton Army, Roger and the others would have been waiting near the bone sentry.

This migratory march must have happened.

Even the human skin, which is very important, is not needed.

What is the big deal?

Roger glanced at the dark clouds to the north.

A little uneasiness in my heart emerged again.

But soon, the dark clouds went further north.

After the dark cloud disappeared, his state of mind returned to normal.

...

"You can't just let him go."

Dorothy said with red eyes, her voice was hoarse:

"The next pass, we must intercept the Shelob and his lackeys!"

No one objected.

They gathered here just to destroy this monster that has been a disaster for many years.

Thanks to the slow marching speed of the skeleton soldiers, and the fact that they took a shortcut, they had a chance to catch up.

"We need to determine which one is the real shelob first."

Roger suddenly spoke.

"Huh? Isn't that obvious?"

Someone next to him pointed to the biggest monster in the marching team and said:

""Huge and bloated, with an obvious evil aura, it is a very easily identifiable evil monster", exactly as stated in the information. "

Roger shook his head silently.

"not him."

Terry said solemnly:

"I think the real Shelob is the inconspicuous lame skeleton soldier beside the behemoth."

"The Shiluo demon is an extremely cunning monster, how could he put himself in the light?"

"I just observed carefully. Although there are many inferior species among the skeleton soldiers, this one is the only one that is so obviously lame that it is difficult to walk."

"This is so abnormal!"

Only then did everyone notice the little skeleton following the bloated monster.

"really."

Roger agreed:

"That lame little skeleton is the real Shelob."

If it is said that Terry has judged the real body of the Sheluo demon based on years of rich experience.

Then Roger's method is much simpler and more crude.

"Looking at the air technique!".

...

"Shiluo demon LV10 life 96???"

...
