Quaiesse Hazeia Quintia!
Minori's mind quickly flashed the name of the blonde young man with a warm smile who suddenly appeared.
Why are the people from [Black Scripture] here?
If Minori was only somewhat vigilant before, then at this moment, his heart was completely on guard.
[Black Scripture] is the most mysterious and strongest unit among the Six Color Scriptures of the Slane Theocracy. The only condition to join this unit is that one must reach the Heroic Domain.
Minori was able to recognize the other party immediately, entirely because the other party's younger sister was the well-known "Comical Sister", the former ninth seat of [Black Scripture], codenamed "Windstride" Clementine.
The two people's appearances are 80% similar, making it difficult to mistake them.
"That was close, are you alright?" Quaiesse walked out of the forest, looking at Minori and speaking in a gentle tone.
Golden short hair covering his forehead, coupled with a soft face, exuded a kind and friendly temperament in every gesture, making anyone who saw him for the first time feel a sense of goodwill.
"Thank you."
Minori spoke softly, pretending to be relieved, while his heart stirred.
Quaiesse did not carry a mask or anything to conceal his face, so he should be alone.
Because [Black Scripture] belongs to the secret unit among secret units, the identities of all members are completely hidden. When on a mission, they will carry masks or things to conceal their identities.
Because everyone in [Black Scripture], in addition to this hidden identity, also has other identities in the Slane Theocracy on the surface.
"Sorry, I was a little late, almost let you get hurt."
Quaiesse first spoke apologetically, then introduced himself: "I am a missionary of the "Earth God" belief in the Slane Theocracy. Because I couldn't determine the other party's criminal evidence, I have been hiding in the dark."
"You should have also seen just now that the other party colluded with demi-human races and is an extremely dangerous person."
In a few simple words.
Quaiesse clearly explained the reason for hiding in the dark and his own positive identity.
The Slane Theocracy's "Human Supremacy" concept is widely spread in various countries, so the other party's behavior and the reason for appearing here are completely justified.
Especially since the other party wore a tea-colored Holy Seal on his chest, further verifying this point. The "Holy Seal" is a magical item that can only be issued by local churches. It is both a symbol of identity and a proof.
Minori narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly, the other party's words were false.
The Quaiesse in front of him is one of the few people in the Slane Theocracy who believes in the "Dark God", one of the Six Great Gods, not some "Earth God".
But as far as the current situation is concerned, this is not important!
"I don't care about the matters between you," Minori showed the vigilance that a normal adventurer should have in this situation, pulling the bone chain of Kuro. Putting on an appearance of giving up the battlefield and taking the initiative to retreat.
The two people in front of him, one is a member of [Black Scripture], and the other has an even more mysterious identity, and their strengths have both reached the Heroic Domain.
They are definitely not something that can be dealt with and solved through ordinary means!
Minori's attitude towards the people of the Slane Theocracy is to stay away out of respect. Currently, he absolutely does not intend to have any contact with the people of the Slane Theocracy, especially the people of [Black Scripture].
Quaiesse saw Minori wanting to retreat, a flash of crimson in his pupils, just preparing to speak.
"Hehe... hehe."
On the opposite side, the gray-robed mage lowered his head, his shoulders constantly shaking, making a hoarse low laugh, then the laughter grew louder and louder: "Hahahahaha!!"
"It's just too funny, your pretentious appearance is like a self-directed and self-acted clown."
The panic and surprise that the gray-robed mage showed towards the sudden appearance of Quaiesse had disappeared.
At this moment.
The gray-robed mage cracked his mouth, revealing a hideous look on his face, his cold eyes staring fixedly at Quaiesse: "Do you know why I specifically explained my masterpiece to you?"
"Do you really think I would make such a stupid and ignorant mistake like the villains in the storybooks, really treat me like an idiot and a villain!"
This sentence was obviously said to Minori.
However.
The gray-robed mage's gaze has been fixed on Quaiesse from beginning to end: "Of course it's to tell him."
"This kind of excellent masterpiece is simply too suitable for your innate ability, Quinti's boy."
"You have been staring at me for a long time, right, if the Frogman's Egg hadn't been completely successfully made, you would never have appeared with your caution."
"What sorry? What late step? How could someone like you care about others, this is a game of hunters."
"You have your eyes on my masterpiece, and I have my eyes on your innate ability. Your blood will be the last step for me to complete the masterpiece."
The gray-robed mage opened his arms, his eyes fiery: "It's interesting to think about, a loyal believer of the Six Great Gods, actually plans to borrow the power of demi-human races." Rampant and ear-piercing mocking laughter resounded through the forest.
Quaiesse stood quietly in place, still with a gentle smile on his face, but the surrounding air pressure seemed to drop in an instant.
Clearly smiling, but there was a feeling of making people feel cold.
"Where is that man?"
Quaiesse's tone was gentle, as if asking a friend.
The Slane Theocracy has magic specifically for testing innate abilities, but an individual's innate ability still belongs to a confidential category, and the Theocracy itself will not leak it.
Especially like him, who is a member of [Black Scripture], and the only one who can know his innate ability and leak it is that man!
"Who knows," the gray-robed mage spread his hands.
Hearing the conversation between the two people.
Minori suddenly sighed lightly: "It seems that I have been completely treated as a pawn for the two of you to test each other."
"By the way, can I pretend I didn't hear the words just now?"
The gray-robed mage's light brown eyes glanced at Minori, as if looking at a dead person, completely uninterested.
Because he knew that he didn't need to take action now, the other party would solve this black-haired youth with some talent.
Blame it on your bad luck.
Almost at the same time!
A message appeared on the attribute panel. '"Partner Contract Ⅰ" has been disconnected!'
This is the situation where the connection with the caster is only broken when the monster dies, but Kuro obviously did not die.
"Innate ability?" This thought flashed through Minori's mind.
Whirr!
The bone chain on Kuro's body shook, binding Minori and forcibly restraining him on its back.
The four-tailed black panther that had just helped Minori withstand the magic attack had turned its head and opened its mouth, aiming at Minori and Kuro.
In an instant!
A pure dark energy breath spewed out from the black panther's mouth, instantly attacking.
The upper body of Kuro was destroyed by the dark energy, and Minori's figure flew out, smashing into the forest in the distance.
[TL: NOOOOO]
Such a close-range dark energy attack, as a caster specializing in angel summoning who did not have time to defend, there was almost no possibility of survival.
"What a pity."
"Such a young age to master the fourth-tier angel summoning, if it were in other places, I would definitely invite you to join the Slane Theocracy."
Quaiesse glanced at it, then turned his head again, calmly looking at the gray-robed mage: "Have you thought about how you want to die?"
"This sentence should be what I say to you!" The gray-robed mage's gloomy voice came.
At this moment, the distant forest!
In a pit of broken trees, broken branches and rotten leaves.
Minori stood up from the pit unscathed, holding the half-remaining corpse of Kuro in his hand, his face extremely cold.
The priest's robe on his body had become tattered, and the white cloth was also stained red with the blood of Kuro.
40% dark attribute resistance plus magic defense was enough to easily withstand the dark energy impact of that four-tailed black panther, but Kuro obviously couldn't do it.
"Job change!"
Minori shook his wrist, and the half-remaining corpse of Kuro was put into the item box, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Now, he was going to kill those two guys completely, even if it exposed some of his strength!
Buzz——
'Job change successful!'

Minori quickly scanned the information of the new profession, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a thought flashed in his mind.
'1 skill point consumed'
'Mastered the third-tier magic system magic "Lightning Ball"
'1 skill point consumed'
'Mastered the fourth-tier magic system magic "Silver Knight Lance"'
Minori pressed his palm against the open space in front of him, and a half-person-high wooden barrel appeared in front of him, filled with the blood of ogres.
Bang!
Minori kicked the wooden barrel over. The bright red, thick blood immediately spilled all over the ground, causing a strong bloody smell to fill the air.
Lift your foot.
Minori walked into this pool of blood, not caring about the blood splashing on his body, and drew out a branch next to him, bent down and began to draw a magic circle in this pool of blood.
At this moment, on the other side.
Boom!
The dark energy impact collided with the lightning ball, making a roar.
The next moment, the Silver Knight Lance flew out of the thick fog.
The four-tailed black panther, which had just finished spewing energy attacks, had its breath weakened. It was too late to dodge and watched helplessly as the attack was about to fall on its body.
"Attack deflection!"
Quaiesse raised his left palm, and each finger was wearing a magic ring. The ring on his thumb flashed with a light first.
The Silver Knight Lance, which was originally shot at the four-tailed black panther, suddenly deflected in mid-air and attacked the ground next to it, blasting out a big hole.
"Magic item."
"Then can you change the direction of this, Swarm Spreading!" The gray-robed mage sneered, and his whole body's magic power surged.
Buzz——buzz——
Dense mosquitoes and flies appeared out of thin air like a cloud of black mist, densely packed and surging forward.
"Lizards like to eat bugs the most," Queynese said lightly.
The water-blue lizard, which was originally controlled by "Fear", suddenly broke free and opened its mouth, biting at these mosquitoes and flies.
However!
The moment these mosquitoes and flies came into contact with the water-blue lizard, they all exploded, spraying out a strong acidic liquid.
"Hiss——"
The water-blue lizard let out a painful scream and was forced to retreat.
Seeing this scene.
Quaiesse frowned slightly and suddenly noticed that the figure of the gray-robed mage in the distance had disappeared.
"Coo coo!" The deep red owl standing on his shoulder turned its head and looked at a position in front.
"Shadow Hunt!" Quaiesse's mouth curled up.
The deep red owl's wings shook, teleporting from Quaiesse's shoulder and disappeared all of a sudden.
Bang!
A muffled sound came from the empty area, and the deep-throated owl that had just disappeared appeared out of thin air.
And the figure of the gray-robed mage also retreated from the hidden state, taking two steps back, and the magic barrier on his body flickered and collapsed.
"Damn it!"
Seeing the deep red owl preparing to pounce again, a look of ugliness appeared on the gray-robed mage's gloomy face, and he raised his hand and fired a magic:
"Shockwave!"
A visible shock spread, knocking the deep red owl back.
"Magic Wolf Summon."
A faint voice followed closely.
A huge magic circle with a diameter of three meters appeared under Quaiesse's feet, and magic wolves rushed out of the magic circle one after another.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 of them gathered, turning into a magic wolf pack and besieging the gray-robed mage.
"Dispel!" The gray-robed mage's light brown pupils flashed coldly and shouted loudly. He was not just talking about being good at dealing with summoning magic.
The bodies of more than 20 magic wolves stiffened and all turned into magic light spots and dissipated.
After a brief confrontation, the two sides reopened the distance.
The deep red owl flew back, and the water-blue large lizard and the four-tailed black panther also returned to Quaiesse's side, surrounding him.
"Magic beast summoner, beast tamer, it's really compatible with your innate ability."
The gray-robed mage raised his hooked nose, his light brown pupils staring fixedly at Queynese, the depths of his eyes pondering countermeasures.
As a magic caster, he is naturally not good at close combat. Dealing with the opponent's means of fighting by manipulating magic beasts is indeed a bit tricky.
"If you only have these means, then please go to..."
Quaiesse had roughly figured out the gray-robed mage's means. The other party's series of magic power consumption just now was not low.
Whether it is a hard attack or a competition of consumption, he has an absolute advantage.
The words were only halfway through!
Quaiesse's face suddenly changed, and he turned his head sharply to look in the direction behind him.
The gray-robed mage followed closely, his eyes condensed.
A terrifying thunder-type magic energy condensed from the forest behind.
"Magic Ascension · Fifth-Tier Magic · Dragon Lightning!"
A cold voice came from the forest.
A dazzling blue-white light instantly bloomed in the dim forest environment. A dragon-shaped lightning bolt as thick as two arms flashed through the forest and slammed into Quaiesse .
Lightning attacks are extremely fast, not to mention a fifth-tier magic.
Quaiesse's expression changed, and the four-tailed black panther next to him jumped up violently and blocked in front of him.
Rumble!
The lightning attack landed on the four-tailed black panther's body, and it turned into a broken piece of black charcoal falling from the air without even making a scream.
The dazzling blue-white light dissipated!
A path penetrated and charred by lightning appeared in front of Quaiesse and the gray-robed mage.
on the opposite side!
Minori's figure was standing there quietly, watching them with extreme coldness.
'Discovered fifth-tier magic "Dragon Lightning", requires magic system caster level (29~35), current conditions are met.'
'Whether to consume 1 skill point to learn?'
"Learn."
Minori muttered in his heart, walking out of the forest step by step expressionlessly.
Through the magic ritual of "Magic Ascension", the third-tier magic"Lightning Ball" was upgraded to the fifth tier, making a more advanced "Dragon Lightning".
Of course, under normal circumstances, this process would consume 150 points of magic power.
But!
The professional skill of [Mad Mage] directly offset this magic power consumption.
