Master Tongtian

By the Hanshui River.

"Hehehe~~Hahaha~~~~~"

Cyrus let out a cold laugh, and with his laughter, explosions appeared one after another in the snow on the cold water river, bursting out into groups of gray-white flames with astonishing lethality.

‘Click~wow~’

The ice on the Hanshui River melted rapidly, and the ice surface was more than a hundred meters long and dozens of meters wide in one fell swoop, revealing the ink-black, icy-cold water below.

The rushing river blocked Chabolai's path.

At the same time, the living corpses on the river bank formed a semicircle, approaching Chabolai from behind.

Cyrus slowly retreated to the opposite bank, and his voice full of disdain followed the cold wind across the water and reached Chapollet's ears.

"You samurai are all the same, thinking that anger can change facts."

"As everyone knows, the only effect of anger is to move yourself, but what can really change the world is the power of reason and wisdom."

The ground was filled with ashes and ice, and the sky was full of snowflakes. Cyrus's voice seemed to be mixed with the power of heaven and earth, showing a suffocating pressure.

No matter how angry Xia Bolay was, he had to stop.

The opponent had taken advantage of the right time and place, and had set up an almost perfect trap. However, after a full wave of attack, he only had less than 30% of his strength left.

If you charge forcefully at this moment, not only will you not be able to kill the opponent, but you will also lose your life in vain.

The living corpse behind him is getting closer and closer to him. If he hesitates for a moment, he will be surrounded again.

Seeing Cyrus retreat further and further away, Xia Bolay's blood quickly faded, but he still felt deeply unwilling.

"Cyrus, just wait for me! I will definitely kill you! I will definitely kill you!"

As he spoke, he bent down to pick up rocks from the ground and threw them at Cyrus with all his strength.

He hadn't practiced throwing much, his accuracy was average, and the opponent was protected by living corpses. Naturally, he didn't expect the stone to hurt the opponent. He was just venting his anger.

‘Poof~’

Sure enough, a living corpse took a step forward, stood in front of Cyrus, and blocked the rocks with his body.

But the stones thrown by the high-level warriors were still very powerful, and the living corpse was staggered and almost fell down.

Cyrus chuckled deeply.

"You know, Chabollet, you look like a defeated rooster now. I forgot, your name is no longer Chabollet, what should you be called?"

"Trash, or a loser?"

He carefully arranged and set up a trap, and despite the full protection of the high-level warriors, he still succeeded in achieving his goal. He even forced the high-level warriors to only dare to jump on the shore, so that they had to use stones to vent their anger.

Such power was something he had never dared to imagine before.

He felt so happy that he couldn't help laughing. He laughed quietly at first, then laughed louder and louder, until he looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Hahaha~~ From today on, I, Cyrus Gogolier, will no longer be an unknown wandering mage!"

"No one dares to laugh at me anymore! No one dares to look down on me anymore!"

"From this moment on, I am the powerful Ash Mage, the messenger of death and fire, and the incarnation of destruction."

'boom! ’

Cyrus's body shook violently, and a heartbreaking pain emerged from his chest, drilling into his mind like a sharp knife.

Under the severe pain, his body was completely paralyzed, and his thoughts almost stagnated, as if frozen.

"what happened?"

Cyrus lowered his head with all his strength and saw that his chest was sunken, with a walnut-sized glass bead embedded deeply in the depression.

Due to the violent collision with the ribs, there were cracks everywhere inside the glass bead, and it was on the verge of shattering.

"glass bead?"

"Why are there glass beads?!"

Cyrus' thinking was almost stagnant due to the severe pain, and he really couldn't figure out why there were glass beads on his chest that had nothing to do with the current situation.

Suddenly, a slightly immature young voice floated into his ears on the wind: "Teacher, thank you for teaching me the last lesson."

"Is it Rosen?! Aren't you dead?"

How could he mishear such a miserable scream?

Cyrus turned his eyes and looked towards the riverside, and found Rosen standing naked on the snow. His clothes had been burned away by the ash fire, but his body was unharmed.

"How is it possible? How could he withstand the flames of the Ember Bird?"

Even after he absorbed it, the power of ashes, which was originally extraordinary mana, was greatly reduced, but it was still extremely lethal.

Even a high-level warrior would not dare to look down upon him. How could he, a small magic apprentice, block him?

"Teacher, if I don't scream, you will definitely hit me with a last hit to confirm, right?"

As he spoke, the air flow in the air suddenly became faster, and another glass bead flew at an extremely fast speed, hitting Cyrus in the eye with a bang.

With the huge impact, the glass beads directly exploded Cyrus's eyeball, and then violently hit the skull behind the eye.

The glass beads shattered directly upon impact, and the broken fragments spattered everywhere in the eye sockets, tearing at Cyrus's face.

Cyrus felt his head pounding and his vision went black. He could no longer control his body and fell to the sky on the snow.

Blood continued to flow from his chest and face, and continued to spread under his body. A dark red blood flower gradually bloomed.

Not far away, Lilith was being entangled by living corpses, trying desperately to dodge.

While they were in a hurry, the living corpses suddenly stood still, like wooden piles, and then fell to the ground with a thud~thud~.

She was slightly surprised. She turned around and saw Cyrus lying on the snow. When she turned around again, she saw the stunned Charbolet.

Finally, he turned his eyes and finally saw Rosen standing naked on the snow.

"Rosen is not dead?"

"Why is Cyrus dead again?"

Two big questions came to mind.

On the other side, Xia Bolai finally recovered.

He was deeply afraid that Cyrus was not dead, so he quickly walked around the thawing river and ran to Cyrus, holding the Demon-Breaking Knife on his neck.

Cyrus did not faint, and still had a faint sense of consciousness.

Xia Bolay said coldly: "Do you have any last words, you despicable thief?"

"Hehehe~~"

The mage let out a low, pitiful laugh and whispered to himself.

"Rosen~~Rosen~~~~"

"My amazing apprentice~~~hehehehe~~~"

‘Poof~~’

Chabolai cut off his head with a knife.

But that wasn't enough, so he slashed his head more than a dozen times until it was reduced to a pulp.

Then, Chabolai raised his leg and kicked again, kicking both Cyrus and the living corpse into the river, and the river also faithfully took away the corpse.

Everything returned to calm, leaving only the whistling sound of the cold wind.

Xia Bolai stood on the ice blankly, but still felt that what happened before was not real, it was almost like a dream.

A voice floated down the wind: "Uncle, can you help me find some clothes? I'm freezing to death."

It's Rosen.

Xia Bolai finally came back to his senses. He quickly ran back to the riverside. Seeing that Rosen's body was green and white from the cold, he took off his robe and put it on him.

He couldn't help but ask: "What's going on?"

Rosen was shivering from the cold and forced a smile on his face: "Didn't I tell you that I can use my mage's hand to throw things and hit people?"

"The mage throws things and hits people, but this is too hard?"

Almost blew Cyrus's head off.

Rosen shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, the power is not enough. I expected it to penetrate his body directly, but in the end, I could only be seriously injured."

Xia Bolay was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He stared at Rosen for a long time, and then suddenly asked: "Why can't the fire of ashes burn you to death?"

Rosen looked ‘confused’.

"I don't know. I was on fire just now, and I kept rolling on the snow. Then the fire went out, but my clothes were still burned."

In fact, he was on the line between life and death just now. It was actually a great luck that he was able to successfully block the missiles with a flame barrier.

The first is because there is only one missile.

The second is that there is thick snow all around him, and the snow turns into water and soaks into his leather clothes, which greatly weakens the lethality of Ash Fire.

Chabolai naturally didn't believe it.

Lilith came over, and she couldn't understand it: "That's the fire of ashes. Ordinary people will burn to ashes if they get a little bit of it!"

Rosen looked scared: "Is it so scary?"

Of course he knew what was going on, but naturally he wouldn't say it. He was just pretending to be stupid anyway.

But unexpectedly, Xia Bolai took the initiative to find out the reason for him. He patted his head and said, "I probably understand why."

"Why?" Lilith and Rosen asked together.

Xia Bolay said: "Probably because Rosen has been practicing sun visualization recently, and it has been very effective. The fire of the sun is the purest and most original flame in the world, and it just restrains the power of ashes."

"Oh, so that's it." Rosen suddenly realized.

Lilith still found it incredible.

"After meditating for more than twenty days, I was able to resist the power of ashes. How effective is this?"

At this time, Xia Bolay had already identified Rosen as his wife's successor, and naturally he was unwilling to discuss Rosen's magical talent too much.

He chuckled: "Why worry so much? No matter what, it's always a good thing."

"Oh, by the way, I want to take Rosen back to Silver Moon Castle. As a price, all the money you Nightingales owe me will be written off."

Lilith was a little confused: "Mr. Chabolai, we will pay back the money we owe you slowly. How can you take Rosen away?"

Even a thousand gold crowns, with Rosen's painting skills, can be earned back in a few years.

Fortunately now, this prodigal warrior actually planned to take away the egg-laying hen directly, and he didn't look like he was taking any advantage.

Xia Bolai's face turned cold: "You don't have to pay it back slowly. You can either pay me back one thousand immediately, or if you can't pay it back, don't be so whiny."

"Well"

Xia Bolai's face turned even colder: "Girl, under normal circumstances, I don't kill beauties, but there are exceptions. You'd better not let me make an exception for you!"

Lilith was at a loss for words and could only nod.

"Okay then. However, everyone is tired after a deadly battle. Why not go back to the hotel to rest first?"

Xia Bolai chuckled: "Then no need. Time is too tight, I will take Rosen back."

Seeing that Lilith wanted to talk more, he grinned and laughed.

"Little girl, please don't have bad ideas. I know very well what tricks you nightingales can do. You just want to keep me here and secretly plot against me, right?"

Lilith hurriedly denied: "No, no, no, you are a distinguished guest, how could we plot against you?"

"Then I'm going to spend my time collecting money so I can silence me with a thousand crowns."

"Hmph~ Let me tell you the truth, even if you collect a thousand dollars, I will still take Rosen away! So, don't bother with it. Goodbye!"

He walked up to Rosen and carried him on his back: "Boy, let's go. I'll take you to Silver Moon Castle. Madam will definitely be very happy to see you."

Rosen naturally had no objection.

He turned his head and waved to Lilith: "Goodbye, Miss Lilith. Thank you very much for your hospitality during this time."

Lilith looked at the innocent smile on Rosen's face and felt that he seemed like a different person.

She felt strange and couldn't help but start thinking about what happened in the past half month.

As I was thinking about it, a terrible thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

‘It seems that Cyrus and I were both plotted by this guy! ’

'No, no, no, he is still so young, how can he be so powerful? ! ’

But the more she recalled the details, the more horrified she became, and she couldn't help but ask Rosen for confirmation.

"Hey~ boy, do you know everything about the deal between Cyrus and I?"

"No, no, this was all caused by you, right?!"

Rosen didn't answer, just smiled.

Xia Bolay heard this and laughed.

"I said, little girl, you are not so stupid after all. You can't control this little devil at all. If I want to keep him, whether you can survive this year or not is a question."
