The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1379 402: The "Undead" Who Don't Play by the Rules (Part 2)

Thanks to precise positioning, those skeleton soldiers constantly harass from afar, tossing stones to restrain, and when the apprentices are exhausted and their magic power depleted, they suddenly charge back from the shadows, catching the panting apprentices off guard, forcing them to squeeze out the last bit of magic power from their depleted Sea of Consciousness.

The effectiveness of this tactic is evident.

These magic apprentices, even when conscious, have a pitiful accuracy rate, and now their consciousness is unclear, and casting spells serves only to send themselves on their final journey.

"I... can't go on anymore..."

Struggling to cast a final spell, a magic apprentice holding a magic wand swayed, his face pale, mouth and eyes askew.

He only managed to utter a final "dying wish" before collapsing straight onto the ground, unconscious.

Looking at their companion who fainted from spiritual power exhaustion, the faces of a few magic apprentices turned blue and white. Especially when they saw the sneering undead approaching, it was as if they had seen true ghosts, frightening them into fainting several times.

Just as these poor apprentices were being tormented endlessly by these "rogue" undead, a brilliant fire suddenly pierced through the dark corridor, hitting the players who were sneering and approaching the apprentices "sharpening their knives".

"Boom—!"

Accompanied by a loud bang, a skeleton player chasing students was accurately hit in the skull, instantly exploding into a pile of bone fragments.

That was just the first one—

Failed Eel: "Damn, I really can't play as skeleton soldiers!"

Failed Polluted Eel: "Elite monster attack! Run fast!"

National Service First Pig: "MMP! If you have the guts, let me bring my main character—"

Before the remaining three players could react, a few more fireballs quickly flew over, sending these three guys who couldn't dodge away.

If their true forms had come over, the results might have been different, but standing here was just an unranked skeleton soldier, and challenging Bronze Level magic apprentices purely with experience was just too difficult.

Especially when being ambushed.

"What an amazing Fireball Technique..."

"Actually hit the weak point in one strike!"

A few young female apprentices who had just advanced to mages and were being played around embarrassingly by undead cast surprised and admiring glances at him.

Kurs and his two teammates Kerry and Lu Man formed a triangular formation, coordinating perfectly to swiftly "eliminate" the remaining skeleton soldiers, their actions smooth and seamless.

As the main output, Kurs demonstrated a level far superior to that of ordinary mages, with each fireball technique being incredibly precise.

"Phew..."

After finishing the battle, Kurs let out a long breath and stylishly brushed his bangs, turning to offer the young female apprentices a gentle and gentlemanly smile.

"Are you alright?"

Attending Prince Colin's science class every day, even though he didn't understand what the prince was talking about, he did manage to learn that iconic smile.

"I'm, I'm okay..." a female wizard blushed, just about to ask his name when Kurs interrupted her self-talk.

"Is this your first time participating in the maze trial? Don't be discouraged, I was just as bad as you the first time, but you get better with more tries."

Clearing his throat, he looked at the mages with confused expressions and continued in a mentor-like manner.

"Don't aim to clear the maze. Just look for treasure chests and treat this trial as a brave attempt. Leave the upcoming challenges to us true strong ones, hahaha..."

After finishing, he left a graceful smile and walked away amidst the bewildered gazes of those young ladies.

However, he had barely taken two steps when he suddenly realized.

Oh no—

He forgot to leave his name!

Thinking about having wasted so much expression time and the other party not even knowing who he was, Kurs regretted it immensely.

However, if he went back now, he would feel awkward, so he could only brazenly keep the act going...

Unlike the "light as a feather" look on his face, his two teammates showed no trace of relaxation.

Kerry walked gravely to a pile of bone scraps and frowned.

"Don't you think these undead are somewhat different from the wild ones? They seem... too smart, actually dodging the magic we cast."

If they hadn't changed the trajectory of the spell temporarily, the fireball they cast might indeed have been dodged by the undead.

Having an unranked skeleton soldier dodge magic would be too embarrassing to mention outside!

Lu Man also nodded, seriously echoing: "Hmm, I agree. Their movements... it's like they're being played by real people."

This statement sounded somewhat eerie.

Feeling the creepy atmosphere around, Kurs' mouth twitched, and he forcefully coughed, interrupting their whispered conversation.

"Stop thinking so much! Master Merk definitely wouldn't just throw in some random undead in the maze. It's just a test left for us, what's there to be surprised about?"

Pausing for a moment, he urged them to continue.

"Hurry up, and when you see these undead later, don't waste time! Our target is the maze's core, don't waste time on these small minions!"

The championship is his goal!

He wants Ilana to truly realize how foolish it was to abandon him and embrace Prince Colin!

In pursuit of this grand goal, gaining points by killing demons or undead is worthless to him!
