C5 Luck Didn't Exist

Even those who had just entered the magic apprentice knew that what limited the magician's combat strength was not spiritual energy or magic power, but the preparation time for magic. The long incantation made the magician's battle as dangerous as walking on a tightrope. Most mages spent their entire lives researching the same topic, how to execute magic faster.

And the fastest was instant-casting.

Some mages only needed to make a hand gesture to instantly cast spells, some mages didn't need the help of hand gestures, and some mages could even instantly cast offensive spells while chanting other spells.

But instant casting was too difficult.

Compressing complex spells to a moment, the combination of elements would become thousands of times more complicated. This required a mage's mana control and mental strength to be very high.

Only when a mage's own strength was far higher than the magic level he released, would he be able to instantly cast spells without stopping.

Ice wall, the simplest level one magic. This might be the first defensive magic many magic apprentice masters had learned.

Even if it was such a simple magic, only those above the intermediate wizard could instantly cast it.

The ice wall could not stop the huge Minotaur for long. Five seconds later, the ice shattered, but the three people who were still in shock had already taken advantage of this time to hide in the dense forest.

"Isera, did you release the ice wall?"

Riko could hear the red-haired warrior girl asking the brown-haired teenager beside her in a low voice.

"No."

The young mage named Isera replied in the same low voice.

Before the red-haired girl finished speaking, the three people hiding in the bushes saw Riko walk out of the woods. The distance between her and the Minotaur was only a few meters. Just as she wanted to cry out in alarm, the Minotaur let out an angry roar. The totem in its hand was raised high in the air, and was about to smash down.

Riko was obviously startled. She subconsciously threw a knockback skill and pushed herself a few meters back with the counterforce.

Then, an ice piton broke through the air and flew out.

As a standard Second Rank offensive magic, the ice piton was a unique attack that was between magic and physics. The Minotaur, which was equivalent to a human intermediate wizard, had to dodge it.

Just as the Minotaur dodged, Riko released two spells.

The quick skill and the frozen skill.

However, the quick skill's target wasn't Riko, but the Minotaur. The frozen skill didn't hit the Minotaur's body, but the ground under its feet. A thick layer of ice quickly formed on the soft soil.

The Minotaur's heavy footsteps continued. Its slap was about to hit Riko.

The three people who saw Riko use the knockback skill to increase the distance between them and the Minotaur immediately became nervous. The red-haired girl tightly held the short knife in her right hand. Her eyes were staring at the possible weaknesses of the Minotaur. Isera held the wand in his hand and was softly chanting an incantation.

Then, something miraculous happened.

The Minotaur, which had been accelerated by the quick skill, was not used to its sudden increase in speed. It suddenly fell on the ice. Furthermore, with the Minotaur's huge weight, it seemed to have fallen quite heavily.

Isera, who was chanting, almost bit her tongue.

Her luck was too good!

The failed quick skill and the failed frozen skill actually had such a miraculous effect?

The Minotaur slowly got up from the ground. Its eyes were red, and it let out a low roar from its throat. Isera was very anxious on the side. If he wasn't chanting, he would have loudly warned Riko.

Because Isera knew that the Minotaur, whose eyes were red and letting out a low growl, was preparing to release the totem's power.

Any mage knew that throwing a magic block at an opponent when they were about to release magic would have a miraculous effect. Not only could it temporarily seal the opponent's magic, but it could also interrupt the opponent's casting and cause the opponent to suffer from the backlash.

In an instant, flames rose from the Minotaur's totem pillar.

Then, Isera saw the gray-haired girl raise her shield to block the flames, and then use the magic block to attack.

Isera was in despair.

That person had already finished casting his magic for half a day, and it was only then that she remembered to use the magic block.

However, at this moment, he suddenly realized something.

The magic power on the Minotaur seemed to have really been sealed.

Isera almost bit his tongue again. Apart from the totem power, the magic of the Minotaur was released almost instantly. No one knew that the late magic block unexpectedly had an effect.

The two failed magic had accidentally caused the Minotaur to slip, and now it was such a strange magic block. Isera did not know what to use to describe this amazing "luck."

Fortunately, his Ice Spear Spell was also completed at this time. After he finished chanting the last spell, the shining silver Frost Spear whistled out and pierced through the Minotaur's thigh. The ___ let out a miserable cry and fell to its knees.

Isera and the red-haired girl had just helped the middle-aged adventurer out of the bushes when they heard the furious roar of the Minotaur.

"Foolish human adventurer, you stole my wife. You will die a miserable death!"

Riko was a little surprised that the Minotaur could speak. She could not help but turn her head to look at the Minotaur that was twice as tall as her kneeling on the ground and the three adventurers who were supporting each other.

The middle-aged adventurer who was the most seriously injured coughed twice, pointed at the Minotaur and cursed back.

"Your wife is too ugly, no one will snatch her."

"Nonsense! I saw you and my wife being intimate with each other with my own eyes."

"We're talking business!"

"You snatched my wife and you're still not satisfied. You even want to molest my mother. I'll fight you to the death! "

Riko Hasegawa did not know whether to laugh or cry as she watched them argue and asked in a low voice.

"Who can explain what happened?"

In the end, it was the red-haired girl who first noticed Riko's appearance. She slightly leaned over to thank the gray-haired girl.

"Miss Mage, I thank you for your generous assistance."

No matter how powerful a Mage was, they would not release a forbidden spell on a Minotaur, so Riko chose this method to quickly deal with the Minotaur.

In the eyes of a weak mage, this seemed like a scene of good luck, but in reality, it was a scene that was completely calculated.

But in the eyes of the three of them, casting quick skill on the enemy, the frozen skill that missed the target, and the mysterious magic block were all serious mistakes. In addition, Riko was wearing a wrinkled old robe that did not fit her body, and she did not even have a wand with both hands. They subconsciously equated her to a "poor low-level mage."

"You do not need to thank me. This is a simple matter."

Thus the red-haired girl began to introduce the situation of the three people to Riko.

Her name was Helen Wilda, and the injured middle-aged adventurer was her father. His name was Bolton Wilda. As for the mage named Isera, the red-haired girl's introduction of him was vague. She only said that he was the partner of justice she met on the road, and he was very enthusiastic.
