Anousheh looked towards the goblins behind Lynn.

Compared to their own team, the number of goblins wasn’t much less.

If a conflict were to occur now, both sides would suffer heavy losses even if one side emerged victorious.

Observing the orderly management of so many goblins following Lynn, Anousheh couldn’t help but to admire.

“There’s only one path ahead. Why don’t we explore together? We can split up when we come to a fork,” Anousheh suggested.

“Sounds good,” Lynn nodded.

“You won’t suddenly release spells to ambush us, will you?” Anousheh suddenly turned back, half-jokingly. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NƟvelFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Lynn chuckled at the question, spreading his hands innocently. “Why would I? Do you mistrust me that much?”

Anousheh burst into laughter. “I was just kidding.”

He didn’t believe Lynn would attack them again, especially after the matter had been resolved by the two wizards Diasterdan and Harin.

“Terror.”

A black aura spread outward from Lynn’s palm.

“Shameless! You despicable, bottomless pig!”

Anousheh’s eyes widened. He hadn’t expected Lynn to be so audacious, even after the wizards had intervened personally. A silver starlight grid appeared around his neck, shielding him.

The ‘Terror’ spell created strong trembling ripples, its shrill buzzing echoing incessantly.

It was that necklace again. Lynn licked his lips, lamenting that it should have been his spoils. Last time, he was forced into the forest before he could loot the bodies and claim his prize. What a missed opportunity.

As the ‘Terror’ spell was released, apart from Anousheh and Andina, who each had a magic accessory to ward off the spell, all the other goblins and followers were plunged into fear.

And those goblins, after being subjected to the ‘Terror’ spell, scrambled madly, kicking their legs in the air.

For the goblins, the effect of the ‘Terror’ spell seemed particularly pronounced.

Many goblins scattered and fled, some even dropping their weapons.

Meanwhile, the three human extraordinary beings standing beside Anousheh—the two knights’ legs went weak, barely supporting themselves with their swords, while the woman dressed as a mage collapsed in shock, a smelly liquid seeping from between her legs.

The ‘Terror’ spell activated the deepest fears within the target, eliciting their most primal instincts of fear.

Everyone harbored their own fears or apprehensions, and the best way to counteract the ‘Terror’ spell was either to use other spells to neutralize it or to have a strong enough mental fortitude to resist its effects.

Andina’s silver earring on her earlobe emitted a bright light, forming a silver-gray shield in front of her to block the ‘Terror’ spell. However, the surface of the shield was also struck by the ‘Terror’ spell, causing a crack that almost split the shield apart from top to bottom.

“Kill.” Lynn waved his hand, and the goblins behind him surged forward like a green wave towards Anousheh’s team.

If you can withstand spell attacks, can you withstand physical attacks as well?

Lynn’s eyes flickered slightly as he realized that Redeyes, who had been hiding nearby, was commanding two goblin wanderers to charge towards Andina with it.

Redeyes pulled out a short crossbow from behind and continuously shot arrows at Andina.

Andina evidently hadn’t reacted to Lynn’s sudden attack and was taken aback by the arrows. She stumbled backward in shock.

Fortunately, the floating shield in front of her seemed to have automatic defense capabilities, blocking these three arrows for her.

But the shield also suffered significant damage, and the cracks on its surface gradually spread, seemingly on the verge of falling apart.

Redeyes drew a slender rapier from behind, stealthily merging into the shadows of the surrounding goblins. Smaller than the other goblins, it nestled in the shadows of the crowd like a fish in water.

“Are you really going against the orders of Lord Diasterdan? He said the matter was over, damn it!” Anousheh looked around at his own side, where the goblin followers, rendered defenseless by their fear, were being mercilessly slaughtered. He, filled with grief and indignation, couldn’t understand Lynn’s thinking.

“That matter is indeed over.” Lynn took out his magic staff, condensing a ‘Minor Fireball’ in front of Anousheh.

“But this time, it’s another matter entirely. I wouldn’t dare disobey the orders of the wizard,” Lynn said calmly.

Regardless, until he knew whether those wizards had the ability to observe them in the maze, he had to maintain appearances.

Anousheh’s face turned red with rage. He wanted to ask what this new matter was about, but seeing the fireball continually condensing at the tip of Lynn’s magic staff, he didn’t dare let his guard down, chanting spells hastily in his mouth.

Damn it, why is this guy casting spells so quickly!

Anousheh, nervous, nearly stumbled over a syllable, his face turning red with effort.

The fireball at the tip of Lynn’s magic staff shot out.

“Minor Fireball!” At the last moment, Anousheh finally completed his spellcasting.

Two fireballs exploded in front of him, their shockwaves knocking him down.

Lynn also noticed that his fireball not only crushed the opponent’s fireball in the head-on collision but also the residual force struck the opponent. Although the magic shield protected him from harm, the shockwave still sent him flying.

It appeared that it wasn’t merely a trick of the mind. In fact, with Lynn’s mental strength steadily increasing, he began to sense that the spells he cast now held more potency compared to those cast in the past when his mental strength was weaker.

But he had never had a suitable reference point.

Plus, this increase in power wasn’t obvious, so Lynn just buried his doubts in his heart.

But this time, there was a clear answer in comparison.

The same spell, yet his spell crushed the opponent’s. It seemed that as his mental strength grew, the power of the spells he cast would also increase.

From Lynn’s perspective, it was like his mental strength had turned him into a strong “attraction” body. Casting spells was like a process of attracting energy from the surrounding nature, and the “attraction” body would draw more energy from nature.

Lynn even suspected that when his mental strength reached a certain level, casting low-level spells would be as simple as eating and drinking.

Anousheh, getting up from the ground, hurriedly asked, “What on earth offended you?”

“He’s my dear friend and relative.” Lynn hugged Lauren beside him and said with sorrow, “But last time, he was stabbed in the back by that person’s sword and almost lost his life. I can temporarily forget my own grievances, but I will never forget the injury my friend suffered.”

Lauren, being hugged, couldn’t help but touch his own back. Was it really that serious?

But hearing that his Master was willing to avenge him, Lauren was still very moved. He felt that he hadn’t chosen the wrong person.

Anousheh wanted to say something but hesitated.

He looked at the lizard-man beside Lynn, feeling very puzzled. He was just a lizard-man, not particularly handsome-looking, and he was a male. His combat power was also mediocre. Was it worth it for such a lizard-man?

“If it’s just him, I think we can sit down and talk. I’m willing to hand him over,” Anousheh said, pointing to Dempsey behind him. “How about it? I’ll hand him over to you for disposal. Please stop those goblins.”

Andina looked at Anousheh in bewilderment.

Dempsey was not only her follower but also like her uncle. He had protected her since she was young, and she absolutely didn’t want to hand him over.
