Chapter 312: 312

Chapter 312 A Man Should Be Enduring

The magic spiders could only deliver images but not sound, which was a problem that Roland had yet to resolve . The wall of the tent was so thick that it physically blocked the sounds from outside .

Therefore, Roland had no idea what the woman in black said .

He only saw that the woman killed three mercenaries more than easily .

His eyes glittered when he saw how she changed her air cannonball into multiple wind blades .

Roland had been meaning to learn the trick to change the effects of a spell model, but nobody ever taught him that… Or rather, nobody in Hollevin was capable of that .

He was of a mind to ask the black-dressed lady how to alter the qualities of a spell model .

But after seeing that Simba was squashed and his two fellows were cut into pieces, Roland gave up the idea .

There was no telling if this woman would go crazy and attack the magic apprentices .

Roland considered himself an even match with the woman, and Andonara could kill those weirdly-shaped creatures .

But the problem was that Roland wouldn’t be able to protect the magic apprentices and the six coachmen .

Roland could dodge the air cannonball, but the multiple wind blades with a radius of several meters could kill a couple of apprentices or coachmen easily .

If he were by himself, Roland would’ve jumped out and asked the woman about the variations of spell models . It would be fine even if she were to kill him a couple of times . If that didn’t work, he could ask his friends to help him control her and force the knowledge from her .

After all, the woman did not seem like a nice person, and he wouldn’t feel guilty interrogating her .

But regretfully… those around him needed his protection .

Then, seeing that the woman cast Stone to Mud on the rock tent, he subconsciously cast Mud to Stone to counter .

Watching the wall that turned solid again, the woman licked her crimson lips and pointed remotely, and the wall softened again .

Then, the magic power from inside the tent hardened the wall yet again .

“Interesting . ” The woman pointed at the rock tent even faster .

The wall softened .

But the person inside the tent reacted faster too and solidified the wall .

“Hahaha!”

The woman laughed crazily and pointed at the tent faster and faster .

After that, counterattacks were initiated from the tent in accordance with her speed .

Then things got interesting .

The woman pointed at the same spot on the wall, which was softened and hardened again and again .

It was quite a funny scene .

The woman stopped laughing at one point . Her eyes were already as bright as lanterns . Black mist was gathered and absorbed into her body .

The vampires were almost never short of mana at night .

Their naturally-endowed innate skill, Night’s Kin, could increase their basic stats and their mana regeneration during the night .

The woman pointed so fast that her fingers almost blurred by the end .

She was delighted at first that someone was bold enough to play a war of attrition with her, a master of magic among vampires .

But then she was rather surprised, wondering what was possibly inside the rock tent to have such a great capacity of magic power that it wasn’t used up after two hours .

But it would probably run out after another hour .

But an hour later, the rapid reaction from within the tent informed the woman that the guy still had sufficient mana .

At this point, the woman’s delight had been replaced by competitiveness .

She grinned, baring her cute teeth, which were then covered by her red lips .

At this point, she began to point with both hands!

Dual Casting was her ultimate technique .

It worked at first, as the wall was obviously softening much faster .

But in no more than two seconds, whoever was inside the shelter improved their speed too .

The two parties were caught in an impasse again .

Actually, the woman felt that she was on the losing side . After all, the enemy could only fix whatever she messed up, which meant that their speed of restoration was higher than her speed of destruction .

Four hours later, the woman stopped and wiped her sweat .

Now she felt that the opponent inside the tent couldn’t be a human being, but was an elf or something with a dragon bloodline .

Those were the only two creatures with such a copious storage of magic power except vampires in the night .

She took a few breaths, and the black mist nearby flowed into her body like clouds .

Even the rain was twisted by the rapid absorption .

Sensing that the power in her was increasing, the woman cast Stone to Mud again .

Another round of the battle started .

Another two hours passed .

The rain had stopped, and the east was turning bright .

It was almost dawn .

The woman was covered in sweat, as if she had just been doused in water . Her dress and her brown hair were stuck to her skin, making her less appealing than before .

Her face had gotten much paler too .

Even though she was a vampire, and she had Night’s Kin, using spells for such a long time was too much for her .

Her head was aching badly .

Besides, the sun was coming out . If she didn’t find a hideout, she would be burnt into a fireball by the sunlight within two minutes .

It was impossible to continue the competition anymore .

The humanoid creatures near her feet were getting uneasy too .

The woman declared to the rock tent regretfully, “Just wait for it! I’ll come back tonight!”

Then, she morphed into a flock of bats and disappeared into the woods, followed by the humanoid creatures .

She’s finally gone!

Inside the rock tent, Roland helplessly looked at his thumbs and his middle fingers .

It was his habit to snap his fingers when he cast a spell because it looked cool .

However, the vampire in the black dress had taught him a lesson today .

He couldn’t remember how many times he snapped his fingers tonight . Was it five thousand? Or maybe ten?

The skin on his thumbs and his middle fingers on both hands had been worn off, exposing the red flesh to the air .

It looked very miserable, but since he could only feel one-tenth of pain, it was not very uncomfortable .

Was this the repercussion of being cool?

It seemed that he shouldn’t snap his fingers anymore . If another lunatic approached him, he might lose his fingers .

Andonara treated Roland’s fingers in sympathy .

When the sun was up, Roland finally created a door in the rock tent .

Everybody came out and resumed the journey .

The magic apprentices didn’t really know what happened, but they could guess that their chairman ran into a formidable enemy, or he wouldn’t have snapped his fingers for a whole night .

As a result, they were hearing things . Even though they were in their carriages, the snap of fingers was still echoing in their heads continually .
