"Yefim! Yefim! Come and help me! Astrid called out to her boyfriend eagerly.

However, at this time, Yefim was still too busy to deal with Nikita's offensive, and he had no spare strength to help her get out of trouble. Most of his body had fallen into a dimensional rift, and Astrid cursed Roland in despair.

"Putting on a posture of a warhammer duel, only to sneak attack with a spell, you are so despicable!"

Roland waved goodbye to the Angel Lady's angry rebuke, and at the same time the dimensional rift quietly closed, forcibly sending Astrid back to her home in the astral plane.

Roland secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, banishing Astrid was not as easy as it seemed.

The success of the "banishment technique" depends on the willpower of the recipient, and there is no doubt about the firmness of the angel's will, and Roland's powerful spell casting ability brought by the super high charm attribute is only 70% sure that the banishment will be successful. Therefore, Roland immediately prepared a second "banishment spell" with the regular casting method after the instantaneous spell casting, intending to make up for it immediately if the first spell failed, and the probability of Astrid resisting two banishments in a row is very low. Fortunately, luck finally turned back to him, and he successfully banished Astrid with his first spell.

The moment Astrid was banished, Yefim not far away also sensed it, was stunned for a few seconds, and dropped his staff with a sigh to make the most rational choice. Without Astrid as an assistant, he could not go far in the trial, and it was better to admit defeat than to fight to the death.

Nikita watched Yefim's figure being swept away by the teleportation pillar of light, and landed to pick up the "battle of clouds and mist" he left behind, and the corners of her lips rose slightly. Now that she has won the staffs of Vera, Platon, and Yefim, and has accumulated 300 Trials Points, she is undoubtedly the best performer of all the Trialists, and maintaining her current advantage and winning the final victory is just around the corner.

Roland also landed, touching his chin to observe the land shark king who had just escaped the torture of a concussion.

"This guy is so ugly......" Nikita came to Roland's side and looked the Land Shark King up and down with disgust on her face, "Would you like to give him a nickname too?" ”

Roland nodded without hesitation, just in time to think of a name that suited the appearance of the Land Shark King.

Two minutes later, Nikita and Roland successfully reclaim the third monster boss on Rubik's Cube Island and continue their journey to the trial.

"King Kong, big, Pippi shrimp, let's go!"

Roland and Nikita fought continuously for a day and a night, cleaning all the three trial sites in the north of Rubik's Cube Island, defeating three groups of trialists of Vera, Platon and Yefim successively, and subduing the Peng Emperor, the Four-Armed Ape King and the Land Shark King, which can be described as fruitful results.

The battle at the "Tearing Hill" ended, and the sky was already bright. It was their third day on the island, and they had only slept in the carriage for a few hours in three days, and Roland felt a little tired, and the weaker Miss Mage was so sleepy that she yawned incessantly.

It would take a morning to fly back to Trials Town from the "Ripping Hills", and it would take more than half a day to fly from Trials Town to the two trial locations in the south of the island, Nightmare Valley or Weeping Forest, and considering that he was not in good health and had few spells left, Roland decided to take Nikita back to Trials Town for a good rest and recuperate before considering the next plan of action.

At the same time that Roland and Nikita made the decision to return to the town to recuperate, the Nightmare Valley, located between two steep cliffs in the south of the island, welcomed two uninvited guests. To be exact, a nimble fat mage and his golemmaid "Lolita".

Bad luck, Fox "Fat Fox" landed on the southernmost beach on the island and spent two days trekking through the coast and jungle to reach the nearest trial site.

Ten miles away in Nightmare Valley, Fawkes sensed an eerie and oppressive atmosphere, with no birds or beasts in sight in the forest, and a dead silence as far as his eyes could see.

The magic charm on Fawkes's chest, which had a constant "psychic barrier", was glowing, and the unusual signs made him realize that he had broken into the territory of the Nightmare Behemoth. This evil quasi-legendary magical beast has the supernatural ability to create nightmares, and creatures within ten miles of him are affected by its evil powers, and if they are not strong enough, they will fall into the terrifying hallucination of their own imagination, believing that they are being hunted by an unseen enemy, fleeing for their lives, or being forced to submit to the will of the nightmare beast in exchange for being its slave in exchange for the mercy of being free from the nightmares.

The "Psychic Barrier Necklace" protects Fawkes from nightmares, and his partner "Lolita", the mercury golem, is also immune to psychic attacks, but the centaur bandits entrenched in this generation have no such good fortune, and all the bandits are tormented by nightmares, and they have to bow down to the nightmare beast and act as a sentinel to guard the entrance to the valley.

Fawkes cloaked close to the valley entrance, carefully observing the group of centaur bandits patrolling back and forth with spears, narrowing his eyes and a sly smile on his chubby face.

"Fat Fox" retreated into the depths of the forest, pulled out the "Fat Fox Staff" made by himself and inlaid with "Crimson Tears" from the storage bag, and released 1 ring of the Arcane "Activation Rope" in a row. These snake-like ropes of magic wrap themselves between the stumps of the trees, forming imperceptible triplines.

Fawkes turned out of the woods, canceled his stealth and whistled at the entrance to the valley, which immediately alerted the centaur bandits, who turned their heads to look at each other.

Fawkes lifted his staff at the right time to release the "pyrotechnic technique", and the staff first ignited a flame, and the flames immediately exploded violently, emitting a strong and brilliant flash, instantly flashing the eyes of the group of centaurs on the opposite side. When they regained their sight, they only had time to see a stocky figure burrowing into the woods.

The male centaurs were known for their temper and aggressiveness, not to mention the group of bandits who were engaged in plundering, roaring after them, and the spears in their hands were used as throwing spears, and they threw them as they ran.

A javelin grazed Fox's ear and pierced the trunk of a tree opposite. "Fat Fox" wiped a cold sweat and hurriedly slapped a "protective arrow" enchantment on his chest.

This 2-ring spell can only block non-magical ranged attacks, but the javelin thrown by the centaur is only a sharpened piece of hardwood, not enough to penetrate the protective barrier.

The centaurs chased into the bushes one after another, and the two bandits who rushed to the front tripped and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up. The bandits, who followed behind, sensed the tripline and quickly stopped, while letting out a sharp whistle to warn their companions to beware of traps.
