Chapter 6: The Fallen Beetle
"Ron—"
Looking at the name, the other teenager seemed to suddenly sound something, and asked in a low voice, "Is it Ron, who passed the assessment a month ago and became the adult's apprentice?"
The tall and thin boy nodded.
The two glanced at each other, and suddenly found that each other's faces were a little gloomy.
The tall and thin young man glanced over and didn't notice anyone else passing by, and said in a low voice, "We just need to interrupt him to build the rune......"
"But it's the rules of the academy. The other hesitated.
Nightmare Horn Academy does not prohibit competition between apprentices, and even encourages it, they encourage the law of the jungle to ensure the vitality of fresh blood, so there will be bloody gladiatorial arenas and bloody killing secret realms.
But at the same time, the academy strictly forbids the use of inside the Nightmare Tower, a safe haven for apprentices to increase their sense of belonging.
"He is not yet a first-level apprentice, and he has not activated the vigilance technique here, so he will not be discovered, and no one will see it, as long as he fails to build and his spirit is damaged, the reward promised by Mentor Bane is enough for me to enter the third-order apprenticeship, and it is expected that I will advance to a full-fledged wizard in the future. ”
"But that Excellency is not easy to mess with, in case ....."
The intimidating power of a full-fledged wizard is always irresistible to an apprentice.
"Even if he knew, with Mentor Bane's protection, he wouldn't be able to do anything to us!"
"That's it!"
"It's done!"
The two seemed to find courage in each other's encouragement, and after glancing at each other, the tall and thin boy stretched out his right hand.
"Corrosive hands. ”
Whoa—
A cloud of green liquid erupted, quickly corroding the lock, and with a slight push, the door could open.
"Us, Haman, what are you doing, do you want to be thrown into the Black Prison!"
Roy's roar came from afar.
"It's them, King Locke's earth-shattering prophecy, who has known for a long time that they will come to do bad things. Locke in the hat flew after Roy, "Oh, my little Ron, King Locke saved you once, King Locke asked for extra food, extra food!"
"Discovered!"
The two were stunned, turned around and ran, as long as they were not caught on the spot, they still had a chance to quibble.
As he fled, Uss secretly flicked his left hand, and a tiny flying insect flew into the room through the corroded hole.
"Go and catch them, and hand them over to King Locke to deal with, they're worth at least a hundred baitworms, no, two hundred. ”
King Locke kept instigating Roy to go and grab the two, and Ron's generosity over the past month had completely conquered the great King Locke.
Any harm to Ron is a serious provocation to King Locke.
"Don't mess around. Roy stopped at the door.
"Gah-"
Locke fluttered, extremely dissatisfied with his disobedience.
"Both of them are second-level apprentices, and I can't beat them if I catch up. ”
Roy glanced at the two who disappeared around the corner hatefully, and wondered in his heart, how to report this matter to Mentor Elvis, but unfortunately he couldn't take the two, if he could take the two, I believe that the Excellency will definitely be able to come up with a compensation that satisfies Ron.
"Quack - they can't run away. King Locke laughed, "No one can escape from King Locke!"
Before he could finish speaking, a short spell came from around the corner.
"Shadow Bondage!"
Immediately afterwards, a young and graceful figure appeared at the end of the aisle, and two black lines stretched out from her feet, wrapping around Uss and Haman, and dragging them directly on the ground.
Locke flew directly above the arrival's head and shouted happily.
"Quack—my dear Margaret, you're back at last, and you're so much better than this dead fat man. ”
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Locke, and this is my gift to you. Margaret held a fluorescent pearl the size of a fist in her hand, and she tossed it into the air.
Locke flew up and spun, swallowed the pearl into his mouth, and said happily, "Shallow sea fluorescent pearls, quack—King Locke wants this gift." ”
"Sister Margaret, why are you here?" Roy looked at the visitor with the same delight.
As for the two who were bound by the shadows, they were ignored, and there was Margaret, the best of the third-order apprentices, who were lambs to the slaughter.
"Roy, you're fat again. Margaret chuckled and pinched his round face hard.
"As soon as my mission to hunt the Bloody Kraken was over, I heard that the teacher had taken in another student, so let's take a look at what our new elementary school boy looks like. ”
"Ron is building the first rune spell in the room, and you'll see him in a while. Ron gestured to the room.
Margaret saw the warning sign and the hole on the door, and her pretty face was suddenly covered with frost.
Constructing a rune technique in the brain domain, if it fails, although it is generally not life-threatening, it will leave a dark wound in the brain domain, which will seriously affect the future advancement, and for an apprentice, this is tantamount to a murder.
"They did it?"
"Woo-"
The two of them were furious by Margaret's cold gaze, but they were restrained and unable to speak, so they could only plead with their eyes.
Us's eyes were filled with fear, for what he had secretly ejected into the room before escaping was a fallen beetle entangled in the power of a curse.
The Fallen Beetle will actively seek out the objects with the most powerful energy fluctuations around it, and once it comes into contact, it will bite violently, so it is called the Fallen Beetle.
The pain of being bitten by it is enough to interrupt the process of building a rune for anyone, even if Ron's firm will can withstand the bite of the fallen beetle, it will definitely not be able to withstand the curse power above, which is the power of the fallen curse he secretly collected, this curse power is extremely vicious, once it invades a person's body, it will pollute his spiritual power, unless even if it is purified with a purification potion, he will become a waste person who can never mobilize his spiritual power.
If it was discovered by this terrifying woman, the consequences would be unimaginable.
......
Ron's consciousness sank completely into the realm of his brain, bearing the tearing sensation of the rune extracting spiritual power one after another, and faintly felt that the contemplation rune had been constructed.
"Real Eye, feedback on the progress of the build. ”
"The construction of the Contemplation Rune is 97% complete, and the remaining time is expected to be twenty-seven minutes. ”
......
"Warning, a Fallen Beetle carrying the power of the Curse of Corruption has been detected around the subject. ”
"Why is there such a thing in the room, who wants to harm me?"
Ron, who was struggling to persevere, heard the news, and his brain, which was close to numbness, struggled to think about countermeasures.
"The True Eye, introducing the details of the Fallen Beetle. ”
"The Fallen Beetle, a species introduced from the other world with the number 0121, is an arthropod-like creature, tiny in size, with four wings on its back, eight short legs on its abdomen, and an excellent carrier of barbs, the power of a zero-level curse, which grows by devouring food containing energy, with an energy perception range of one meter. ”
The corners of Ron's mouth twitched, when he built the rune technique, he was an immovable energy radiator, and once it was flown within a meter by this fallen beetle, this construction was doomed.
"Warning, the Fallen Beetle is close to the center, two meters away from the main body...... 1.8 meters...... 1.5 meters....... Two meters ...... Three meters and one ...... 1.2 meters...... One meter, Ding - Entering the Fallen Beetle sensing range, the main body was discovered by the Fallen Beetle, and it was recommended to abandon this rune construction. ”
"The fallen beetle is 0.9 meters from the main body...... 0.8 m ......"
Ron's heart was full of unwillingness, the Concentration Rune had already been constructed, once the failure of this build, not only would there be a long period of backlash and weakness, but the failure rate of future builds would also rise sharply.
