update icon Updated at 2025/4/21 14:10:12

"Wild Stream - Forty-nine Ice Arrows!"

An uncountable number of magic circles unfolded in the air, and then, many ice arrows shot out from the magic circles in a hurry, leaving a blue trajectory in the air. And all the blue trajectories were pointing in one direction where the black shadow that replicated my appearance on the ground is.

A middle-rank ice arrow magic that shoots 49 ice arrows at the same time to attack the enemy from all directions, it won’t leave the enemy even the slightest gap!

Countless ice arrows penetrated the black shadow at the same time, then stirring up many ice flowers and turned the where the black shadow was standing into a huge artistic ice sculpture!

But ......

the next second, I saw the black shadow came out from the other side of the bookshelf, its target is Aliyah who is collecting books not far behind me.

This ......

This guy can also copy my teleportation?

I can't think of any other skill that has such a fast movement other than teleportation, as I can see from the mini-map, that this guy came out from the where I attacked in a flash.

Unless this guy has the ability like real teleportation, but if it is actually like that, the gap between me and this guy is too large, if someone can teleport himself, either he is using a spatial magic or his speed is too fast that my naked eyes couldn’t see.

I can’t defeat neither of them!

But for the sake of the magic book, even if I have to die once, I need to stop this guy!

I drank a potion to regenerate my magic, then I just rushed towards the middle between it and Aliyah, and then raised my magic staff at the middle.

"Infinity - Millennium Glacier!"

This is already the strongest high rank ice magic that I can use at this time, and my mana is not enough for more advanced magic.

However, the power of this magic is already terrifying!

The huge ice wall divided the entire library into two parts, with the black shadow on one side and Aliyah and I on the other.

My maximum mana of 3600 has already been empty. Fortunately, the previous setting that I will be stunned when my mana is depleted had disappeared, otherwise I would have had a hard time.

But now I can’t use any magic at all, so I can only keep using mana potions to let the mana slowly regenerate itself. The fast mana potion is still cooling, so I can't use it yet.

"Why you have to use such strong magic? There are still books of wood magic over there that I haven't taken?"

"It doesn’t matter now, just hurry up and go upstairs, he can blink, and I do not know whether he copied my teleportation or he used some strange magic, I have a feeling the we are not match for it."

"Blink? The guard of this magic academy is really something."

"Stop it, just hurry up and leave."

A loud sound came from the other end of the ice wall, and when I turned my head, there was actually a mark left by an impact in the middle of the ice wall!

Is there any mistake? This is a high-rank magic?

How could there be a crack?

And I was too naive to think that this would be the end, followed by a series of crashing sounds from the other side of the ice wall, the crack is actually expanding rapidly!

"Go, it is fine even you just took one book! Just get upstairs quickly!"

Aliyah and I rushed to the door of the staff room at the other end of the third floor.

Aliyah directly drew her sword first against the door.

"Hey, hey, hey, is it okay to destroy a public property like this?"

"You have put up such a big ice wall in the middle of the library, and you still have the face to say that!"

But this door is quite sturdy, there is not trace on it at all even it has taken a slash.

"Let me see ...... this thing actually is enhanced by magic, I'll try to pick the lock."

"Please be faster!"

I turned my head and looked behind me.

In the continuous sound of impact, the crack has expanded to the edge of the ice wall, and the middle part of the ice wall is going to break.

This is the prelude of my end!

"Don’t rush me! How can you rush something like picking a lock!"

Aliyah took out the string of wire and inserted it.

However, after she inserted it into the keyhole, I heard a hissing sound, then Aliyah screamed and let go of the key string.

Then the key string fell to the ground, but there was no sound, because it had melted into iron water.

"Aliyah, is your hand okay?"

"Yes, it's fine, it just hurt me a little. Why is this thing so advanced? It actually comes with an anti-pick function?"

Aliyah took out a HP potion and drank it with a dissatisfied face.

"So, what now?"

"How should I know? Locks with defensive magic can't be picked unless there is a corresponding unlocking tool."

"Damn, we actually can't get the high rank magic book? How about we retreat first."

"The key is, how to get out?"

"Wait a few more seconds."

I switch my inventory to the potion that could quickly regenerate my mana, and then I look at the countdown of its cooldown time.

"Damn, this potion is very expensive, I can fully refill my mana with only one bottle, but it costs me 3000 gold coins for one bottle! I just have three bottles!"

"Don't complain! With your skills you can rob whoever you want."

I showed a helpless face to Aliyah.

"You are just a teenage girl but with such strong desire to commit crimes, I really don't know what you used to do."

"Stop, None of your business. Frankly speaking, even when we fight with monsters, we are actually robbing them of money, so is there any difference between robbing monster and robbing people?"

"Of course, there is, bullying the poor is not right, if you want to rob someone, you should directly rob the kingdom's treasury, you can get a lot of money at once!"

Robbing the king's level 15 treasury can reward hundreds of thousands of coins at a time, which means there are at least a dozen times of this number inside, If you rob one and you'll make a fortune!

"You have a target?"

"Of course."

King Chelfa, the revenge will never be late, I do not want to kill you, but robbing your money is absolutely no pressure thing.

"But for now, let's leave first, okay, countdown, 3, 2, 1, drink the potion, teleportation!"

Grabbing Aliyah's hand, I pressed the skill button, and after one second, I am back inside my apartment.

Then, I pulled out a controller and pressed the button on it.

"What is this?"

Aliyah asked curiously.

"Didn't I say earlier that I had a way to remove the traces of my magic in the library? This is it, I placed more than 20 remote control mines filled with powdered fire magic crystals near where I used magic, with one press, countless fire crystals will be released one after another, not only will it turn all the ice at the scene into traces of fire magic,and it won't cause damage to the book. You see how righteous I am."

"Oh, you're kidding me."

"Of course, I am kidding you."

"Well, here are all the magic books that I got before."

Aliyah touched my ring with her ring, then I saw that I have a lot more books in my inventory.

"Well, it's late, I'm going back to rest too."

"What's the rush, we still have things to do, haven't we?"

"Things ...... what you want to do!"

Looking at Aliyah's expression, I can tell that this guy is thinking wrong again.

Really, who does she think I am.

"Let me say thing clear, I'm not interested in your thin body, what we have to do is to go and forge our alibi ...... hmm? Where is she?"

Suddenly, Aliyah disappeared in a flash.

The next second a sword with blood on its tip went through my chest!

"......!"

"Heh heh heh~ Now you should know what shall you say?"

Aliyah laughed while walking out from behind me.

Is this guy actually still able to use the assassination skill?

"You're hitting me too hard, aren't you? It hurts so much"

"Anyway, teammates don’t deal damage to each other, right? By the way, since you can’t die , shall I stab you a few more times?"

"Don't be ridiculous, I am not interested in being tormented! And those fire crystal mines may not be able to eliminate all traces, we have to fake our alibi!"

"Hm~ Apologize first!"

"You ......"

I looked at Aliyah's eyes and knew this guy is for real.

"Okay, sorry."

"Don't you dare look at me and say it again."

"I'm really sorry~"

"Okay~"

The guy finally pulled her sword out.

And the wound on my chest healed in a flash, unbelievable.

"So, how are we going to fake our alibi?"

I smiled, then said.

"We pretend to be victims."
