"Oh? When did you learn from Consultant Donawan? How did I not know? Tom! Behind you! Damn, I should have warned you sooner. Lily, give Tom a stop to the bleeding too. Mark said.

"God, dear, you should care about your own injuries, that young man is only a skin wound. You've almost been pierced in the waist. Lily settled her husband and rushed to the monster.

"Come with me, boys, and we'll go and deal that big guy a fatal blow! After the war, meritorious deeds are rewarded! Lily beckoned a few young soldiers to join her in the crusade against the Tunnel Worms. A few young men were not afraid, but rather a little excited—it would be a great honor among their colleagues to defeat the big monster. Not only would this satisfy their vanity, but they might also be rewarded for their credits after the war. Perhaps, after retiring, he can marry a beautiful girl as a wife.

Thinking of a bright future, the young men were short of breath and red, without the slightest fear, thinking only of shooting an arrow at the monster and slashing it. None of them had the luxury of delivering the fatal blow—a feat that Mrs. Bones could accomplish.

After all, compared to witches, these young people, who are ordinary soldiers, definitely don't have the concept of "I'm stronger than witches", which is common sense in Elsha's world. Although the caster is also human, he can be poisoned, strangled, and choked to death. But, after all, that's uncommon - usually, the average killer can't even enter a wizard's house.

If some inconsiderate rat dares to break the caster's door, even a crappy wizard apprentice will give them a taste of the caster's dignity.

However, for killers and thieves with excellent skills, it is not difficult to take the name of the caster, but this level is considered a master even for those who live in the dark—maybe they are all big people with heads and faces on the surface.

Between these big men and aristocrats, the relationship is not so simple and can be explained clearly in a sentence or two - in this circle, who does not know anyone?

Then again, the reason why these young soldiers think this way is partly due to Lily's status as a witch. On the other hand, she was also the wife of their commander - Mark Bones was a good commander and his soldiers and servants trusted him.

"I need a little time to cast the spell, you try to get the monster's attention, I'll go around to the pillar behind the side, and try to kill it with one blow!" Lily commanded.

"Yes, ma'am!" "We will, ma'am!" Several voices rang out. But the voices could only follow Lily's heels. Dressed in leather armor, she walked briskly, quickly dodging several arrows and throwing knives, and using her wand's magic to take away several enemies in her way.

The pit worm didn't notice Lily's movements—it thought the humans below were small bugs: the kind that could be eaten.

I saw it writhing lawlessly, and from time to time the carapace of its head brushed the pillars of the ceiling of the castle's vestibule. Some of the soldiers were unable to dodge and were crushed into a mass of meat sauce by the pit worms. Its tail curls, and a pair of Tangnis soldiers who are fighting each other and a blue dragoon who have lost their blue speed dragon are swept up. The tail of the tunnel worm tightened, and with the unpleasant sound of steel deformation, the two of them let out an intermittent wail, and it was sent into its mouth, and there was no more sound.

A few young men grabbed their short spears and threw them at the pit worm, and some shot arrows at it. However, these attacks only left a white mark on the dorsal armor of the pit worm, and even its carapace could not be pierced. Some of the remaining soldiers held their shields in front of their chests, buried the top of their heads slightly behind the shields, and struck the shield with the blades of their long swords, making an unpleasant "clang" sound. Eventually, this attracted the attention of the pit worms.

"This thing is a bit like Selesnya's armored wurm, it seems to have a strong defense, and it has to be lethal with one hit. However, this thing has no eyes, so it can only be aimed at the weak spot of the carapace on the side of the head. Lily muttered.

Attracted by the sound, the tunnel worm swam like a snake. Along the way, it ran rampant, crashing and knocking over many soldiers.

Lily chanted a quick incantation, and a dozen cone-shaped rocks sprang up from the ceiling and floor. The tunnel bugs couldn't stop the car and crashed into a few. After breaking the three stone pillars, the impact was negated. The raised cone restricts the worm's movement, so it twists sideways, flicking its tail in an attempt to get out of the area.

By this time Lily had finished her next spell, and she beckoned with her wand to the large hole that the tunnel worm had made, and thick vines grew out of the hole, binding it firmly.

Seeing that the Tunnel Worm had been contained, Lily began to chant a powerful spell. Some of the red and white mana gradually converged towards Lily's wand. It started quickly, but gradually there was a sense of stagnation, as if the flow of mana was blocked by something.

Lily was sweating on her forehead, and she was a little overwhelmed. She had to complete the spell though, and hit it - which was a bit difficult for Lily.

Lily gritted her teeth and insisted that if she failed to cast the spell, not only would the pit worm get out of trouble, but she would also be burned by mana herself—and it would be a huge sacrifice for them to kill the monster.

Lily wants to accomplish the magic that officially Michael Donavan excels in "the hole of all things". This magic is very powerful, and it is made up of a collection of highly refined white mana. This magic was created by Michael, a genius wizard who came up with a new path to release mana: mana that was refined and pooled, then compressed together. Fold the mana path node in half so that the compressed mana bounces back and forth multiple times in a fraction of the time. During this ejection, the mana fire rate increases as the mana is compressed. When the ejection is complete, the compressed mana is fully released and has a very high firing velocity, which greatly increases its penetration.

However, Lily is just an ordinary witch, and she is very comfortable with the use of red mana, and through the acquired learning, she can also control green mana and white mana slightly, but it is obviously not as handy as red mana.

With this ordinary talent and unsuitable aspect, Lily had no hope of completing the spell - not even a point. However, Michael suggested that she settle for the next best thing, loosening the purity of her compressed mana and using a lot of red mana and a small amount of white mana to make a compressed mana blob. Second, change the ejection of the mana path node to spiral. However, instead of a firestorm where one point spreads around, the mana spirals from the surroundings to a point by waving a wand in a circle, which increases the penetration of the spell.

Even so, with a lot of practice, Lily still didn't succeed much. Michael encourages her to think about the martial art "Spiral Shot" used by the knights of the "Knights of the Dragon Slayer" led by Sandre. With the weight of their armor and their spinning spears, the knights of the Dragonslayer Knights were able to penetrate the dragon's scales with all their screw shots.

Lily thought back to Michael's explanation, trying to adjust the rhythm of compressing mana and waving her wand. Eventually, when she felt that her control over the spell had reached a limit, she launched it.

"Spiral Flame Gun: Everything Pierces" Lily shouted the magic that Michael had named, as if shouting the name would increase the power of the spell.

A swirling flame headed towards the head of the tunnel worm, converging and approaching as it rotated, and the color of the flame continued to change from red flame to white light for heating. The flame's trajectory became thinner, but brighter and brighter. Finally, after a while, the spell became as thin as a silk thread.

Everyone held their breath, their own people and their enemies. It was as if this majestic magic had captured the attention of everyone in the castle's vestibule.

The white thread struck the pit worm on the head, but nothing happened, just a blow to the monster.

"Damn! Failed? Mark let out a loud shout.

However, as his words fell, a ball of fire rushed out of the inside of the tunnel worm's skull, reaching the ceiling. The tunnel worm shook twice, fell to the ground, and didn't move.

Lily's hand holding the wand drooped down, her back against the wall and she gasped softly, "It worked." Mark. She spoke calmly but weakly.

As the tunnel worm fell, a jubilant sound erupted in the front room.
