In the clearing on the other side of the forest, there stood a human mage in a black robe, his old and withered face, like a mummy, without the slightest anger, only the cold light in those cold eyes, showing his coldness and strength.

At his feet was Puno, a young boy who was already unconscious.

A few days ago, the mischievous Puno made a major discovery in the small attic of his ancestral house, when he searched the house for candy that his mother might have hidden, and unexpectedly found a strangely shaped black box in the glove box left by his grandfather. In the middle of the box, a mage holds a dagger in his hand, closing his eyes and chanting, and below him is a crowd of people facing each other. This wonderful and realistic picture instantly attracted Puno's attention.

He was particularly curious and intrigued by the strangely shaped dagger in the mage's hand, as it looked like a real miniature dagger embedded in a box. Puno couldn't help but reach out and stroke the dagger, he could even feel the dagger's concave shape, and under his repeated strokes, the miniature dagger embedded in the box even began to loosen a little. This discovery made Puno's heart itch and couldn't help but increase the strength in his hand.

Suddenly, Puno screamed, his fingers slit, and a few drops of blood dripped onto the box, sending up a puff of green smoke. Immediately afterward, the boy was surprised to see his own blood seep into the box and become part of the picture.

He didn't know that this black "box" was something that his grandfather had been whispering about before he died.

His grandfather, Stull Sr., was once the most successful businessman in Simplain Village, but the old man suddenly disappeared when his fortune was rapidly accumulating and his business was booming. No one knew the real reason for his retreat, except that his father, Red, had stumbled into Stull's room when he was a child, and found his grandfather fumbling with his hand for a black box, turning it over and over, and muttering it vigorously. At this moment, old Stull found his grandson standing at the door, and in fright, he vomited a mouthful of blood, and never fell ill again. Until he died, he kept muttering to himself: "Box." ”

The family thought that he still wanted the box, so they immediately took it and handed it to him, but who knew that old Stull angrily used his hand to block the black box handed in front of him, and this last struggle cost him his life.

Since then, Red has hated this inexplicable black box immensely, and after becoming the head of the family, he immediately put it on the shelf and ignored it.

Who would have thought that Puno, the mischievous ghost in the family, would turn such a cursed thing upside down.

Moreover, since the little boy's blood dripped on it, this "box" has a strange voice whispering to the little boy, telling the little boy that he can teach him the magic that countless people have dreamed of.

At first, Puno was terrified of this, but after getting used to it, his curiosity led him to finally try it according to the sound instructions, and he found that he could indeed get a little magic effect after pronouncing some strange syllables. Puno gradually believed the voice, and the promise it revealed soon fascinated him. A strange and eerie world unfolded before his eyes, almost within reach. He, Puno, can have his own magical powers in the future, and instead of intimidating and threatening other friends with words like "I'm Darla's brother", he can even show his hand in front of his good friend Colt and surprise the pesky who always shows him that he can drive away bees.

However, young Puno did not know that this black box, lost in the torrent of time, was actually holding a human mage from decades ago, Tok Aland.

Teucer Alander, this is a name that cannot be easily mentioned in the continent of Tuya, not only because he defected during the Battle of Dragon Valley 25 years ago, and suddenly rebelled, almost annihilating the surface alliance army, but also because of his powerful and evil magical power, which is also the most feared in the short history of mankind.

Moreover, whether it is his magic ability or madness**, the mage who has been wearing a black robe all the time cannot be compared with Alander, who suddenly changed the color of his robe halfway.

Initially, Aland did not belong to the black-robed camp, and he has always presented himself as a neutral blue-robed person.

It is undeniable that the former Aland has indeed made great contributions to the entire empire, humanity, and even the entire surface alliance, coupled with his genius-like dazzling ability, he is not only favored by the king and admired by the people, but also a well-deserved champion among all magicians.

All sorts of auras enveloped him, and honor and praise were everywhere.

Thus, no one felt anything wrong with Aland's increasingly violent temper, his increasingly strange behavior, and his increasingly gloomy personality. In the hearts of everyone, such a genius has some quirks that no one can understand, but it is a normal thing.

Accustomed to this, Aland is not introspective, allowing himself to go further and further down the path of evil, and by the time people discover his shocking truth, Aland has completely sold his soul to darkness.

For a human mage like Aland, there is nothing more terrifying than the passage of time and the passing of life. No matter how terrifying his magical power was, he could even summon and control four dragons at the same time, his life was too limited, and it was only a drop in the ocean compared to the dragons' thousand-year-old life. Even if he passed the trial of the Magic Tower, he would live to be hundreds of years old at most, how different was he from an ordinary elf or dwarf?

This made Aland very angry, couldn't he, the most powerful mage ever seen by mankind, go beyond the limits of man and become an immortal legend?

Entangled in this riddle of life, Aland slowly fell into a state of madness, and he began to search for the secret of the dragon's longevity, and continued to carry out his unknown magical trials, some of which were even taboo.

These terrible trials slowly distorted Alander's mind, making him unconsciously, step by step, into the abyss from which he could never recover.

Later, he even quietly made a deal with Maros, the matriarch of the Emma family in Drow, to help the other party win the war, and he himself used the other party's powerful magic to turn into a lich and gain eternal life.

No one can imagine how evil the process of creating a lich is, and to become a lich, at least five conditions must be met: First, it must be voluntary. 2. Warlocks, mages or priests with outstanding magical powers. 3. You must make your own magic life box to store life energy. Fourth, there are powerful evil forces to help them. Fifth, you must die before you live.

Aland already met the first three conditions, and the latter two conditions could only be achieved with the help of the dark forces, so he naturally agreed to join forces with Drow to deal with his former compatriots and allies together.

At that time, Aland was close to madness, and he seemed to exist only for eternal life. He didn't even think about how lonely and empty he must be as an immortal lich if the surface really fell, and the pain of being left with endless emptiness was truly maddening.

In fact, Aland has gone mad.

Falling into madness, Aland brought an incomparably huge disaster to the Allied forces on the surface at that time, almost a devastating disaster.

Incredibly, Mialy, a fledgling elven mage, burst out with amazing magical power at a critical moment, and did what even her teacher, Philohir, the most prestigious ** teacher in the Crown City, could not do: successfully sealed the injured Aland in a magical black box.

Afterwards, I don't know if it was too much effort, or if it was just a stroke of genius, poor Miyali completely lost this memory, she couldn't remember the moment when her light burst out, and she couldn't remember how she did it anyway. It was a puzzle to solve, or no puzzle for her, or for the Allies on the surface.

At this moment, this puzzle was re-placed in front of Aland after the unsealing.

"It is said that people live to die. ”

Joke!!!! When this sentence popped into his mind, all the past events before he was sealed came to mind, and the scenes were as clear as looking at a magic scroll.

The most impressive thing is the battle of Dragon Valley that changed the fate of Aland.

25 years ago, Ryugoku.

Dragon Valley was originally a valley inhabited by a group of golden dragons, who built their own stone caves and were guarded by a group of good-natured cloud giants.

For well-known reasons, no one wants to go near this area inhabited by dragons, and despite the fact that dragons here are kind to people and have a strong sense of justice, people still maintain a sense of awe for dragons and stay away. As a result, this valley was once one of the most peaceful and peaceful places on the continent of Tuya.

Now, generations of peace and tranquility here have been shattered.

Seventy years ago, Drow launched a war of aggression against the tribes of the surface from underground, known as the "War of 70 Years", because the war lasted for 70 years.

In this protracted war, humanity is bearing the brunt of the battle.

After a brief defeat, humanity used the ancient covenant to unite elves and dwarves to form a huge surface alliance, and launched a protracted war with Drow, repelling the Drow army several times, but the other side lost only a few slaves, and the real main force was intact, so it repeatedly provoked trouble and tried to fight again.

The main area of fierce fighting between the two sides was concentrated in the fan-shaped area centered on the Dragon Valley, and later, this area became the famous "Land of Dust Ruins" and "Land of Blade Soldiers" in the Tuya Continent.

These two areas, even more than 100 years later, are still full of bones, demons, and many ugly monsters, attacking passers-by from time to time, and constantly creating new bones.

Twenty-five years ago, in the autumn of the past 25 years, both the surface and the underground were suffering from the long battle of the "70-year war".

At that time, the king of the human empire, Stanley XIII, adopted the advice of the great magician Tok Aland, who enjoyed the status of a national teacher, and ordered Orwell, the commander of the Blade Corps, the elite army of the empire, to lead the surface allies to Dragon Valley to fight to the death against the Drow army that had come out of the nest to suppress the realm.

The Golden Dragons of Dragon Valley have hated all injustices, and have always regarded punishing evil and promoting good as their own business, coupled with several encounters between the Drow Legion and the surface allies, which have completely destroyed the rules that the dragons' habitat is not disturbed, so the Golden Dragons soon joined the surface camp.

With the addition of dragons, combined with the bravery of the dwarves and the agility of the elves, the human-dominated surface allies have overwhelmingly prevailed and seem to have won the battle.

Unfortunately, Orwell never imagined that the real mortal threat was not the dark cloud-like Drow army on the frontal battlefield, but from within the Allied forces, by his own side - Tork Aland, who was on the verge of defection.

Halfway through the battle, Orwell was puzzled to find that the Drow's army had suddenly reversed course and retreated at full speed.

Although the surface allies have the advantage, but the other side also has a large army of slaves, and the main force is not damaged, how can it seem so vulnerable?

At the same time, Aland, who was not paying attention, suddenly cast a huge "exhaustion wave" in the rear, which is a necromantic spell, as a blue-robed mage in the neutral camp, Aland actually used forbidden black magic, and at that time he was surrounded by the core generals and excellent warriors of the Emperor ** Regiment!

The surface allies who have always regarded Aland as a saint could not have imagined that Aland would do such a thing at a critical moment, and he stayed in the local area in an instant, and no mage had time to use protective magic to fight against Aland.

In fact, there is no mage who can confront Aland at this time!

After Alander's "Exhaustion Wave" was cast, a huge wave of negative energy caused all living creatures in his area to begin to deplete rapidly.

Commander Orwell was also hit by a spell bright light released by Aland, and with great unwillingness, panic, and questions, he disappeared in the raging flames in an instant, which was another terrible spell of the necromantic system - "Ashes and Smoke".

As soon as Orwell died, the human legion was suddenly leaderless, and the formation was in chaos.

Among the dwarves, Blotto, a warrior who was unknown at the time, seemed to know better than the human army what was going on, and ran over to suppress the formation as soon as possible.

In the elven arrow team, the ** master Philosill led his young female disciple Miyali to also rush over, trying to turn the tide.

Aland sneered, casting a puff of magical smoke that disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already floating high in the air, and the blue robe that had been in the past had suddenly turned into a black robe like black charcoal. The deep eyes were full of a strange blood red, like a devil, and the whole body exuded a cold aura of death. The black figure that stood tall above became a shame and a nightmare for the entire Tuya Continent after this battle.

The Golden Dragon Leader Surast witnessed the whole thing, and was also puzzled by Aland's sudden rebellion, even though he had intelligence above most humans, he didn't understand why Aland, who was the ** master of the Human Empire, would defect, but now was not the time to explore this reason. For the betrayer, Surast's first reaction was to spray a mouthful of dragon breath at Aland.

Aland was able to dodge the golden dragon's attack with lightning speed.

In fact, he literally turned himself into a bolt of lightning, and after striking himself with lightning, Aland disappeared in an instant, and quickly reappeared not far away, while unleashing a necromantic spell, "Energy Absorption", on Surast. Originally, the dragon itself has a strong immunity to magic, but due to Aland's long-term magic research on the dragons, he has also made improvements that ordinary people have not expected in this common necromantic spell "energy absorption", making this spell another large-scale magic in the necromantic system, and later generations also gave it a special name "Aland energy absorption", because this spell of Aland is specially cast against the powerful dragons. It can quickly absorb the life energy of the recipient, shortening their life.

The proud golden dragon leader Surast didn't expect that the black-robed mage in front of him turned out to be the nemesis of the dragon clan, and the dragon's powerful magic immunity was also defeated in front of this even more powerful magician.

The careless golden dragon Surast failed to dodge because he believed in magic immunity, but was hit by Aland's spell, was seriously injured, and fell from the sky......

The rest of the crowd were all stunned, and they were all shocked by the shocking facts before them, and they were stunned. Until a voice exclaimed, "Lich?", it was the low-level elven mage Miaari, "Are you just for eternal life......"

"Eternal life, an ant like you also want eternal life?" the badly wounded Surast tried to get back on his feet, his pride not allowing himself to be defeated at the hands of a human. What's more, this person went to such great lengths to betray his allies just for the sake of eternal life, which is too difficult to understand for the dragon clan who was born to live a long life.

Alander's eyelids rolled upwards, sneering, he didn't put the elven mage in his eyes at all, he was now completely sure, as long as he cast the improved "death circle", even the golden dragons who were born immune to magic couldn't parry, let alone the elves.

Aland refuses to be his old self, he has paid too much for eternal life, and he is about to become the strongest lich in the world. After eternal life, he will have enough time to explore the mysteries of magic, he will be strong, stronger, stronger!

For this purpose, we must eliminate the reptilian humans, dwarves, and elves in the ground as soon as possible, as well as the flying giant reptile golden dragons in the sky, as well as ...... Alander's face showed an expression of excitement that only a madman would have, and he held a strangely shaped knife in his left hand, and slashed his right wrist with great force, and blood immediately gushed out, falling from the air like rain. But Aland didn't care, he calmly put the knife back into the pouch at his waist, then took out his carefully crafted black book of magic and began to chant a large spell of destruction.

"Deathling, I summon you in the name of darkness......" Aland's slow, sonorous voice floated through the air, as cold as a death book pronouncing the verdict of all.

Elven mage Philosil was taken aback, this kind of dark magic is very powerful, but what needs the mage to chant with blood and life can only be a large destructive "death circle".

Alaand is crazy, really crazy. The enormous magical power unleashed by such a large "Death Circle" is enough to destroy everything around it.

Philosir had only heard from his own teacher that this kind of magic was a forbidden magic that disappeared from the Tuya continent after the battle of crowns between elves ten thousand years ago.

Among the vast collection of magic books in the Elven Library, only a few cursory books mention this kind of black magic: "Death Circle, Large Destruction Spell, Forbidden." ”

Stop Aland from continuing this curse of destruction!

Philosil immediately clasped his hands together and cast a "Yang Flame Ray" at Aland, six scorching and dazzling beams of intense light that immediately burst out from his hand and shot towards Aland who was floating in the air.

This spell can kill the recipient quickly, ten shots and ten hits, and the elven mage will never use it lightly until it is absolutely necessary, because peace-loving elves do not like to kill. Especially the Wood Elves, who are known for their kindness.

Aland was still carrying out his "Death Circle", ignoring Philohill's "Yang Yan Ray", and just as the beam was about to reach Aland's side, a "Force Field Shield" that had been invisible before appeared.

The "shield technique" is just a small spell that does not last long, but for a ** master like Aland, even if it is a small spell, he will use some small changes in ingenuity to make this magic different and show its power at a critical moment.

Philohill's "Yang Flame Ray" weakly touched the "Force Field Shield" that enveloped Aland, as if it had touched a smooth convex lens, and quickly turned around and shot out, surging towards Philosir himself.

It turned out that Aland also blessed the "Spell Reversal" on top of this "shield technique".

Philosil reacted quickly and used a "disarming magic", but she was still hit by the huge impact of the mana rebound, and involuntarily took a few steps back.

Alander's "Death Circle" has slowly formed an enchantment under the stimulation of blood, and the situation is suddenly grim and imminent.

Philochiel no longer hesitated, and she took out her master's magic black box, which was rumored to have been made by her ancestor Elenia after defeating the drow dark mage Vicky Miguel in the Night War.

Illainea combined with the power of the top mages in the country of the Elven Empire at that time, and jointly blessed this black box with a magic force field, which was originally intended to use "binding**" to permanently seal the dark mage Vicky Miguel in the future.

The clinker has not reappeared since. Elaine took this magic black box as the treasure of the elf academy, and only the highest-level elf ** master and dean of the academy could hold this magic black box.

Elainia is well aware of the size of the magic field of this magic black box, and knows how much magic power is required to manipulate it, and the direct consequence of this is to quickly consume the caster's energy, causing him to die of aging. Therefore, when inheriting this black box, it is strictly ordered that future generations of holders cannot use this magic black box unless they have to.

In fact, since the disappearance of the dark mage Vicky Miguel, there has not been any evil force that requires the elven ** master to use this treasure of the town.

Now, as a last resort.

Philosil took out the magic black box and began to chant the spell of "bondage**", this spell itself is not outstanding, powerful mages and warlocks will use it, but with the magic black box passed down by the teacher, it has become an improved magic, which can trap strong opponents who are several times higher than themselves.

"Teacher, you ......" Miyali was stunned, of course she also knew the origin of this magic black box, and the teacher Philosil had not met any opponent since he became famous. Could it be that the black-robed human mage in front of him was so strong that he needed the teacher to use the magic black box passed down by the teacher?

In this confrontation, both sides pressed their lives, and the thrilling during it was far from being perceived by the ordinary soldiers who were lucky enough to escape Aland's initial black magic attack hundreds of meters away, but the surging murderous aura in the air made everyone feel right, and countless war horses and various mounts were even more restless, trying to get out of the battlefield and leave this place of death.

In the distance, the Drow army had withdrawn to safety, quietly watching the wonderful infighting.

Alander, who was in a state of madness, was also slightly startled when he caught a glimpse of Philorhill's magic black box, and temporarily stopped chanting the "death circle" in his mouth. Philosil wants to seal him up? whimsical!

As Aland thought about this, he didn't pay much attention to the "shield technique" he had cast earlier, and the magic shield that protected him was temporarily weakened.

"Send me up!" Before dawn, the dwarf Blotto had crept around Miyari, his heavy battle axe, made of precious pure cold iron in the Moradin Temple, was now emitting a sharp cold light, as eager as its owner.

Miyali understood, and immediately cast a spell that slammed into Broto's sturdy body, sending him like a cannonball at Aland.

The dwarf let out a shout, picked up his tomahawk, and slashed at Aland's head.

The sudden appearance of the dwarf and the surging murderous aura caught Aland off guard, and he didn't have time to strengthen the protective power of the "force field shield" in a hurry, and the weakened magic shield was torn apart by the sharp axe in the dwarf's hand, and the blade of the sharp axe sword qi approached Alander directly.

The mage reacted quickly, teleporting behind Blotto with a small magic before the axe slashed at him. But he was still injured by Blotto's sword aura, and a cut was made in the right corner of his forehead, and blood flowed straight down, blurring Aland's right eye.

Aland was furious, and in his frenzy, he forgot about his "circle of death" for a while, and he only wanted to kill Blotto right away.

At this time, Philosill's "Bondage**" was also ready, and pointed the magic black box at Aland, chanting: "Shrink!" She used the abbreviated word Bondage**, which can shrink the recipient to less than an inch in order to trap the opponent in a convenient container.

A pure green light shot out from the magic black box, and this light slowly shot towards Aland in a graceful arc with the color of life.

It's strange to say that the ray that castrated so slowly just hit Aland, who was dodging quickly. Aland who was hit trembled all over, as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body soon began to slowly shrink and shrink......

Philohir's eyes couldn't help but show a look of relief, but then her eyes focused again, turning into great horror.

I saw that Aland muttered a few strange and awkward incantations in his mouth, and his body, which had just shrunk by half, immediately swelled up like a water-filled sponge, becoming bigger and bigger, and seemed to be taller than he had been.

Aland was still expanding, his body was not broken, revealing small openings, and the whole person suddenly became bloody and terrifying.

At this time, Philosil had already taken on an old countenance, and his originally smooth skin had been wrinkled and dried up in just a few seconds, and he had lost his original look. Not only that, but she also felt that the magical power in her body was also being drained, and the remaining power could not be used to "bind**" again. Alander, on the other hand, went crazy and re-condensed his strength, intending to carry out the half-used death circle he had just cast to the end. Looking at Aland's crazy and terrifying appearance, and the gloating Drow in the distance, Philosir thought sadly, could it be that they were defeated like this?

Filochiel's face showed a look of pain and helplessness, and his body began to crumble.

Seeing this, Miyali hurriedly ran over and held her teacher, and at this moment, a powerful force surged along Filohill's body towards Miyali, making the young Miyali shake as if she had been struck by lightning, her eyes suddenly became red, and her consciousness became blurred, only to feel that her whole body was full of power, this power was so huge, and so crazy, it was moving fiercely in her body, and she was quickly looking for an exit.

Seeing this, Aland immediately understood that the elven mage Philosil had forcibly injected all his lifelong magical power into Miyali's body at the last moment, and the other party's young body also had new power in an instant, and was about to become a new threat. Not allowing this threat to arise, Aland had already begun to make a gesture, intending to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent.

Miyali had already had a brief lucidity after a moment of madness, and it was this short, glimpsed sobriety that made her calcium carbide as bright as a flash of light, and immediately took the black box from the teacher's hand, repeated the teacher's spell quickly and accurately, and read it again: "Shrink!"

Another pure green light shot out of the magic black box, and after overlapping the power of Miyali and Philohir, this green light appeared even more crystal clear and powerful, radiant and flew towards Aland at an unparalleled speed.

Alain was once again struck by the green light emitted from the magic black box, and he soon found himself angry that his body was once again shrinking from shrinking, so small that he was trapped by the green light, and he couldn't get out.

An invisible force, like a powerful dragon claw, gripped Alander tightly, forcing him to involuntarily and constantly move towards the magic black box.

Aland tried his best to resist, but he was unable to compete with this sudden and powerful magical force.

Finally, Alain felt himself fall into the box, and then it was pitch black, and there was a "pop" sound, the box was closed, and he was trapped in the magic black box.

This trap is 25 years.

For 25 years, Alander, along with his magical black book, the madness of eternal life**, the shame of not being willing to fail, and the ever-expanding power of the dark arts, were imprisoned in a small magical black box.

For years, Aland has tried to break the magic field that trapped him and found a way to free himself, but he always ended in failure.

And now, young Puno inadvertently helps him find a way and a way to return to the real world and get out of that damn magic black box.

It's been 25 years, and he wants to avenge these 25 years as a prisoner, and he wants to avenge his lost chance at eternal life.

He must let Miali, a low-level elven mage, taste his power, let her see his true great power, and let everyone know clearly that he is the strongest mage on this continent. That failure was nothing but a terrible accident, a huge mistake.

This time, he won't make another mistake.

The black-robed mage, who had woken up from his memories of the past, looked down at the little boy at his feet, and understood that it was he who had inadvertently triggered the release conditions, so that he could find a way to connect with the real world and break out of the black box.

After examining the little boy closely, the corners of Aland's mouth twitched, and a thought welled up in his heart, and he decided to spare his life.

Aland reached out and took out a strangely shaped knife from his bosom, gently cut a small cut on his left wrist, then put the knife back in place, reached out his bloody left hand, put it to Puno's mouth, broke the little boy's mouth, fed his own blood to Puno, and recited a few incantations at the same time.

Puno's body was suddenly enveloped by a black qi, and after a while, the black qi shrank into a ball, burrowed into Puno's face, and turned into an inconspicuous small black mole, dotted under the corner of Puno's right eye.

Aland looked at the small black mole that had just appeared on Puno's face, and a faint grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After this strange move, Aland straightened up, thinking about what he should do next.

First, he needed to find someone, a low-level mage who had humiliated him for 25 years.

Since she said that "people live to wait for death", then, let her taste the taste of waiting for death!

Second, he was to continue his plan of eternal life, and then ......

Alander thought to himself, and the two canines, who had not paid attention to the previous attack on the Golem team, had crept up nearby, and were hiding in the woods at the edge of the clearing, spitting out their scarlet tongues at him and the little boy at his feet, and drooling eagerly as they licked their lips impatiently.

The two canine demons were waiting for the most favorable opportunity, and neither of them was willing to take the risk first, and the cold aura exuded by the human black-robed mage in front of him was extraordinary. Since they came to this world, they have never encountered such an opponent. The hidden magical power in him was terrifying and seductive to them. If they can successfully attack this human mage, they will not only be able to complete their transformation quickly, but they will also be able to become the most powerful masters in the Burning Realm. The question is, though, what are the odds?

Seeing that the mage was deep in thought, the dog demons no longer hesitated, but quietly approached him, intending to strike a single blow.

A grim smile tugged at the corners of Aland's mouth. At this moment, he was already aware of the danger that was about to pounce from behind and from the side.

"Reptiles!" Alaand thought dismissively.

His lips moved slightly, and he suddenly recited a spell, and a circle of negative energy waves immediately centered on him and burst out in a cone shape, and the surrounding trees, flowers and plants quickly withered after coming into contact with this circle of negative energy waves.

The "Wave of Exhaustion" was a success! His mana didn't go away, as usual.

Even the dog demon who was immune to magic was surprised by the magic power of the mage, and when he saw this, he knew that he was in big trouble, so he couldn't help but retreat again and again, and then turned around and ran wildly.

It was only then that they realized how stupid their attempt to eat the mage was, and their eyes showed the pleading look they had seen in the little giant's eyes when they had eaten the little stone giant.

Unfortunately, Aland shares the same laws as them, and lacks the kind of sympathy and compassion.

Aland raised his hand slightly, aimed at the dog demon running wildly with his tail between his legs, and released a necromantic destruction spell, "Ashes".

The dog demon shook and was engulfed in flames. In just two seconds, the huge body of the Inu Demon disappeared without a trace, and instantly evaporated from the air, leaving only some residual ashes, which were gently scattered in the air.

Aland sneered and used a spell to open a portal.

The black-robed mage who had regained his freedom disappeared from the forest clearing in an instant.

In the clearing, only the unconscious boy Puno remained.

In the distance, a small monster that had previously been afraid of the mage and did not dare to approach it also slowly and tentatively flew towards Puno at this time.

The little monster looked a bit like a combination of a bat and a giant mosquito, with skin-like bat wings, a short, hairy body, eight pincer-like legs, and a long, needle-sharp snout. The color of the body is reddish-rust or reddish-brown from the head to the tail, the lower abdomen is dark yellow, and the long snout is pink at the end and fades to gray at the base. At first glance, he is a bloodsucker.

The little monster is small, but it is about a foot long and has a wingspan of up to two feet.

It's the common monster in the Mosquito Forest, the Mosquito Bat!
