Chapter 37: Chapter 37

This was one of the weaknesses of the Hexagon Barrier. It could not stop someone without magic powers.

Obviously, the Level 5 ghoul knew the strategies of the ability users very well.

Due to the interference of the worker, Jim started to feel restricted when fighting as he was unable to effectively stop the pieces of the Level 5 beast from gathering.

Just as Jim was looking at the pieces of the Level 5 beast that were about to successfully merge, he could only helplessly shout, “Alice!”

On the other side, Alice heard her squad leader summoning her and immediately used her best trapping technique.

“Ice Prison!”

Alice shouted. A large amount of ice elements assembled in the air and quickly gathered towards the ordinary person in front of Jim.

In just a moment, the ordinary person was firmly contained by the ice prison.

Meanwhile, Jim seized the opportunity and punched the group of rotten flesh.

In an instant, dust flew and rotten flesh scattered in all directions. A huge pit that was only slightly smaller than the pit outside was instantly formed at the place where the rotten flesh had gathered.

“Hah!” Jim looked at his masterpiece and let out a long breath.

But was the Level 5 beast really destroyed just like that?

Jim could not help but ask himself.

After waiting for a while and realizing that there were indeed no more pieces of flesh gathering, Jim ordered for the Hexagon Barrier to be removed.

He knew that if the Hexagon Barrier was removed now, these people could still be saved.

Following Jim’s orders, the entire Hexagon Barrier dissipated. After a while, a voice suddenly sounded.

“Idiot! That was just bait!” The voice belonged to none other than the mage that Alwyn had hired from the real world, Bill.

“What?”

“Then why didn’t you say that just now?” Jim asked incredulously.

“It’s because I want them to know how stupid you are as a commander!” Bill’s arrogant voice sounded.

Jim was speechless.

“Just because of that?” Jim said again in disbelief.

“Yes! It’s also because I think the island world is a good place, and I plan to be a squad leader here.” Bill’s brain was like a retard’s brain, and Jim simply couldn’t understand him.

“Are you going to watch as our team members die just because of this?” Alice also became agitated and shouted loudly.

“Little bitch, don’t be anxious. I’ll let you be arrogant for two more days. When I become the squad leader, I’ll slowly deal with you!”

Alice was speechless.

She now felt that this Level 5 mage, who had been sent by their higher-ups, was probably not a fool!

“Alright, take a good look at how I deal with this Level 5 beast!” Bill’s arrogant voice sounded again.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bill casually struck a bolt of lightning towards the center of the pit.

It was an extremely simple bolt of lightning.

However, its power was many times greater than the combined skill just now.

There was no grand scene or loud noise. Everyone only saw a flash of white light. Then, as if a pile driver had pressed down on the pit, a cylindrical pit appeared.

Soon, the beast jumped out from the bottom of the pit.

Everyone stared at it. It was a humanoid beast with skin as elastic as rubber.

Its feet resembled the hooves of a horse. It also had the face of a dog and long sharp claws.

“Jejeje!!!”

“I didn’t expect someone to discover me.”

“It looks like you have the abilities of a Level 5 mage!”

It spoke in a voice that sounded like a baby crying.

Its body was full of fungi as it lived underground all year round.

“Initially, I wanted to confuse you guys. Hello everyone, I’m fine.”

“But, if you insist on being so serious, you’ll really make me angry!”

The ghoul’s baby-like cry sounded once again.

“I have no choice. I just came here, so I need something to establish my might!”

“Incidentally, you’ve been causing trouble lately. Thus, you know…”

Bill’s arrogant and retarded voice sounded.

“Is that so? Then I really have to take a good look!”

Under normal circumstances, it was difficult for humans to detect emotions from a ghoul’s tone.

However, this time, everyone could hear the anger in that baby-like cry.

This Level 5 ghoul beast was truly enraged.

Roar!

The Level 5 beast roared. Then, its body grew larger and larger.

In the end, it grew to more than ten meters wide.

In the eyes of the ghoul, Bill was now just a worm, a weak worm.

According to what these low-leveled beasts knew, it was always the case that the bigger one was, the more impressive one would be.

However, Bill looked at the ghoul in front of him, which was more than ten meters tall, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face. He shouted loudly, “You’re just a ghoul of the lowest level. So what if you become a Level 5 beast?”

“I’m going to stand here and receive one of your attacks. I’m not bragging, but you can’t even break my defenses!”

The ghoul was speechless.

Jim was speechless.

Alice and the rest of the ability user team members were also speechless.

Upon hearing Bill’s pretentious words, question marks filled everyone’s minds.

“Jejeje!!!”

“I thought I met an expert, but I didn’t expect you to be a fool!”

The ghoul let out a strange cry and mocked Bill while attacking.

On the other hand, Bill kept by his words. He stood still and waited for the ghoul to arrive.

Soon, the ghoul’s attack arrived.

However, Bill was still standing calmly. He even shook his robe.

The next moment, the ghoul’s attack hit Bill.

When the attack hit Bill, he felt a sense of danger.

He could not block this attack.

He used all his strength to draw out part of his magic power and barely protected himself.

Meanwhile, in the eyes of the crowd, it was as if the ghoul had used a flyswatter to hit a fly. Bill was ruthlessly embedded into the ground by the ghoul.

Jim and the others hurried toward Bill.

After running to where Bill was…

They saw that Bill’s head was bleeding, and his mage robe was badly damaged. He was also covered in blood.

Bill barely managed to recover a little while before the ghoul launched its next attack.

He dug himself out from the ground and wiped his hair casually before saying, “This little attack can’t hurt me. Don’t worry everyone, I’ll be back soon!”

As they watched Bill hobble towards the ghoul, everyone couldn’t help but think to themselves, “Brother, you’re already like this, yet you’re still acting cool!”

After walking for a few minutes, Bill finally reached a spot not far from the ghoul.

He took a deep breath and raised his head to look at the Level 5 ghoul.

Then, Bill began to chant some obscure incantations. As he chanted, the massive magic power of thunder slowly gathered around him.

Meanwhile, the Level 5 ghoul beast saw Bill chanting under its feet and couldn’t help but say, “Idiot!”

Then, his huge foot came down on Bill.

When the people behind saw this scene, they were speechless and did not want to speak anymore.

After all, which mage would use spells that required chanting within the attack range of others!

“Look, Bill is fine. He’s hiding!”

A new member of the magic ability user team pointed at Bill, who had appeared behind the ghoul, and spoke.

“Phew! Not bad, not bad.” Jim heaved a sigh of relief.

Soon, Bill finished chanting his spell.

Then, he shouted.

“Forbidden Spell: Mighty Thunder!”

Then, the sky suddenly darkened. More than ten bolts of lightning struck down from the clouds, targeting the Level 5 ghoul beast.

“Boom, boom, boom!!!”

Continuous explosions rang in everyone’s ears.

Everyone looked at this high-end magic skill and couldn’t help but be fascinated.

However, everyone knew that with their qualifications, it was almost impossible for them to use this kind of magic.

Meanwhile, the ghoul standing on the ground was like a lightning rod that received all the thunderbolts.

Roar!

“Damned worm, you’re hurting me!”

The Level 5 ghoul beast angrily smashed the ground Bill had been on, each strike creating a pit several meters wide.

The ghoul went crazy.

It began to attack indiscriminately. Nothing could stop it as it would smash anything it saw.

“Bill, what are you doing? Get rid of him now!” Jim shouted anxiously as he watched the ghoul walk into the center of the island.

“I… can’t do anything about it. That was my strongest attack just now.” Bill stammered.

“Aren’t you a Level 5 mage? How do you know only one forbidden spell?” Jim asked angrily.

“I bribed the teacher to pass the Level 5 mage exam,” whispered Bill.

“F*ck!” Jim cursed.

“Squad leader, we need to speed up. That Level 5 beast is about to leave!” Alice looked at the furious Jim and had to remind him.

“F*ck!”

Jim cursed angrily again. Then, he chased the Level 5 beast with Alice.
