Erica, who has experienced the challenge several times, now seems to be able to handle it with ease.
After the first encounter was easily resolved, she quickly came to the second encounter.
The location where the monsters appeared was completely remembered in her mind. Before they could completely appear in her field of vision, Erica released her magic in advance and attacked the sky and the ground.
The poor duck-billed rat couldn't even resist, and was already burned into delicious cooked meat in the raging flames.
Arriving at the location of the third encounter, Erica had constructed the magic in advance.
After experiencing many failures, she has become extremely familiar with monster attacks.
The monsters from the previous levels were unable to stop her.
Erica didn't even need to waste her 'natural energy'. She could drain the blood of these monsters bit by bit just by relying on the magic in her hands.
The flying mosquito hidden in the green field sneaked out again, but this time, she just took a few steps to the right and rear, and perfectly dodged the flying mosquito's attack.
A ball of flame magic that had been prepared swatted at the flying mosquitoes.
One, two, three...
Very soon.
Under Erica's skillful attacks, the monsters were beaten to death one after another.
A teleportation array glowing with green light appeared behind Erica again, but she did not look back.
Instead, he walked straight towards the small path that grew lushly between the waves of grass.
She knew that this time was the real challenge.
After passing through the dark forest path, a plain space appeared in front of me again.
This time there were no foxtails moving in the wind, just dust and hot earth.
Erica walked to the center of the earth and suddenly heard a rustling sound.
On the ground, five soil bags began to stir.
Not covered by the grass waves, it is very conspicuous.
There were also five black objects swooping towards him in the sky.
This is the last test.
At the same time, he faced attacks from ten monsters.
Erica was very flustered when she first came in.
After all, she had never faced such a situation of dealing with ten monsters at once.
The difficulty of ten monsters and five monsters is definitely not as simple as multiplying by two.
But after many failures, Erica already knew the monster's attack methods very well.
Now, she stood here again for the tenth time, with only the confidence that she had to pass in her eyes.
Without any time to think, she immediately relied on muscle memory to exit the circle of monsters.
She kept lowering her body to avoid the attacks of ducks and rats and the corrosive liquid sprayed by bats.
An attack happened to be dodged, and then the monster in the gap launched another attack.
Multiple monsters continued to surround Erica, which made her feel that there was no safe place to escape, and her living space was constantly being suppressed.
But this time, Erica was very well prepared.
She hid her body behind several duck-billed rats. At this moment, the bats were adjusting their posture and filling their abdomens with black liquid. They had no time to attack Erica.
The moment the monster turned around, her hands burned with fierce flames.
[Second level magic: surrounding flames]
The flames in both hands were suddenly thrown out, and they were clasped on the two monsters in front of her, completely wrapping them up.
The violent combustion under the sealed space produced an explosion effect, and the two monsters were blown into pieces of flesh and blood, gradually dissipating in the air.
It seems that because of the death of their companions, the remaining monsters continued to rush towards Erica with strange screams.
Once the number of monsters decreases, the difficulty will also decrease.
Erica did not panic. She looked at the swooping bats and formed a green formation on the ground.
After simply integrating a magical rune into the magic circle, she stood there waiting for the monster's attack.
After spitting out mucus, the three bats tried to stab Erica with their mouthparts.
But the moment they approached, a layer of green vines burst out from the sandy ground, trapping the bat's mouthparts between the gaps in the vines.
Erica snapped her fingers, and several spikes protruded from the vine barrier, completely penetrating the monster's body.
She clapped her hands, and the vine barrier gradually withered and disappeared, along with the bat's corpse.
The remaining duck-billed rats and bats are no longer Erica's opponents.
She pinched two water balls in her hands and threw them towards the bats in the air.
The powerful impact caused the bats to sway suddenly, and their swaying bodies reduced the speed and power of their dives.
Erica wrapped the vines around her hands and suddenly grasped the neck of the bat at the front.
Like two spears, she grabbed the bat and used the bat's mouthparts to stab the duck-billed rat.
The two collided, and the duck-billed rat was penetrated by the bat's mouthparts and died.
The vines also completely swallowed the bat until it died.
Erica clapped her hands and looked at the last monster.
"The rest is up to you to settle on your own."
Unfortunately, the monster couldn't understand Erica's words, and it stubbornly spat out a few drops of black mucus.
However, under the strong strength, the bat's mucus is like a conductor. After a bolt of lightning passes through the mucus, it attacks the bat's body.
The monster twitched a few times in the air and disappeared under the sun.
The attack didn't even scratch Erica.
Erica blew into her fingertips.
Like the only surviving gunman in the West.
Looking at the emptiness around her, Erica did not feel empty. Instead, her heart was filled with honor and pride.
She succeeded!
Suddenly, the surrounding illusion began to change suddenly.
The wilderness seemed to shatter like a mirror.
In an instant, it seemed as if reality and illusion were separated.
"..."
Erica blinked and looked at the scroll-like scene in front of her.
The breeze is gentle and the stars are rotating in the sky.
The fields before me seem to stretch for thousands of miles,
There are green trees and flowers, green mountains and clear water, boundless.
In the sky, countless light points flickered, like stars falling down, illuminating the entire world.
The windmill swayed and the wind chimes sounded.
Such a beautiful scenery made Erica freeze in place.
She couldn't help but take a deep breath of fresh air, mixed with the fragrance of earth.
Feeling the air filling her tired lungs, she felt that the air was so beautiful for the first time.
"Congratulations, Erica."
"You are the first student to get perfect marks."
A voice sounded out of thin air, seemingly coming from behind the mysterious starry sky.
Victor's figure slowly appeared, the windbreaker behind him swaying.
The red and green lines look so mysterious under the night sky.
"Victor...Professor?"
Victor looked at Erica, and there seemed to be some satisfaction in his eyes.
"As the first student to pass, I can grant you a request that is not too much."
"Speak, whatever you want, the power of the mage will be given to you."
…
Erica hadn't spoken to Victor directly like this for a long time.
There is no living being in this space except for the two of them. Now, no matter what she says, she will not be disturbed.
All her impulses, all her curiosities.
Maybe the people in front of her would have answers for her.
Finally, she thought of a gift that would satisfy her completely.
"Professor, I want to..."
…
"I want to challenge you. I want to know the gap between you and me."
Yes.
Erica said to herself:
I want to know how hard I have to work to catch up with you.
Victor didn't answer, but the corners of his mouth raised a few arcs.
It was as if he had known that Erica would say this.
"Your choice today will become a medal of bravery for your life."
"So."
As soon as the words were spoken, the surroundings began to spin. A large forest suddenly rose from the plains, stretching its towering body toward the sky.
Wildflowers and weeds gradually climbed up Erica's thighs, and the night sky was swallowed up by a huge sun. The stars in the sky seemed to be completely integrated into the blue sky.
The sun shines through the thick gaps and falls on Erica's blond hair.
Endless vitality and just the right temperature nourish the earth, and everything grows crazily.
It seemed like there was endless oppression sweeping towards Erica.
On Victor's windbreaker, a pair of eyes opened.
Between the eyes, red and green light burst out.
It was as if there were two monstrous evil beasts hanging in the sky, hovering behind Victor.
At this moment, Victor showed all his strength.
It's like a disaster coming to the world.
"I accept your challenge."
