Magic Recovering: Billion Folds Talent - Chapter 22

“Mr. Smith, you’re finally here!”

Beside him, Lanza together with a few beginner and intermediate mages had been frantically running away. They knew that even if they worked together, they would not be able to deal with the Cyclops, so they had been leading the monster in circles outside the city.

‘Although these people seem cowardly, they still do their jobs.’

Andrew frowned and said, “The Cyclops is only an intermediate magic beast. You should attack it, not just run.”

The sparse group of about 10 intermediate mages did not hesitate and immediately rushed forward. With Andrew, the strongest advanced mage, guarding the rear, they felt they were safe.

Seeing that there was support, Lanza immediately shouted.

“All beginner mages, retreat to Mr. Smith’s side. Everyone else, follow me and fight back!”

As he spoke, he immediately gathered a dozen fireballs in his palm and shot them at the back of these mages to block the Cyclops’ advance and buy time for everyone to cast their spells.

The intermediate mages who were quickly following behind also used all their skills. Other than the common wind blades and fireballs, there were also spells such as ice spears. There were even a few mages in Rafax City who were proficient in the darkness attribute unleashing the sting of shadow that had almost killed Tim.

In an instant, the mages worked together and released nearly a hundred magic attacks! They charged towards the Cyclops.

Andrew, on the other hand, was frowning.

‘No wonder those mages who are more senior than me still want to ask me for advice.’

‘As expected, ordinary mages and I have completely different ideas. They only need to master a few commonly used spells to think of ways to advance.’

‘Only people like Nolan who have no hope of advancing would want to learn more spells.’

‘No wonder the quality of their magic power is so poor.’

He pondered, not panicking at all. On the other side, the Cyclops was in trouble. At first, he was hit by Lanza’s continuous fireballs and staggered back a few steps. Then, he was washed away by an almost endless torrent of spells and continued to stumble for a long time before he regained his composure.

“Good, it really works! Maybe Mr. Smith doesn’t have to make a move!”

Lanza was overjoyed, but the next second, the scene made him dumbfounded. After the Cyclops was pushed back, he roared angrily. His gray-white skin was wrapped in a layer of dark light. Then, the spell effects of mages were greatly weakened by the dark light.

The Cyclops withstood the bombardment of the spell and walked forward. Soon, it arrived in front of Lanza, who was standing at the front.

“Oh my God, we can’t stop it! If we don’t retreat, we’re dead!”

A young female mage behind Lanza shouted anxiously. Her pretty face was twisted with nervousness.

“Retreat from its attack range first!”

Lanza could only shout helplessly, the Cyclops’ oppressiveness was so strong that he felt like he was about to choke.

The group of mages continued to fire as they retreated. However, they realized that the Cyclops did not attack.

“No! No!”

Lanza shouted, but the sound of the spell explosion drowned out his cries! A strange blue light flashed in the Cyclops’ huge eye. This was the magical beast’s native spell, petrifying eye!

“Don’t look at his eye!”

Andrew had been in the library for nearly two months, so he knew a bit of all sort of knowledge. He immediately reminded everyone, but unfortunately, he was a step too late! Only a few intermediate mages standing at the back reacted and immediately turned to run, avoiding the disaster. In front of them, Lanza, the vice president, and a few intermediate mages had already turned into stone statues!

After the Cyclops finished casting his spell, he was still in high spirits, as if he had not used up any energy. The monster raised its arm, stretched forward, and hammered it down hard!

It was very obvious that this smash would cause the mages who were temporarily unable to break free from the petrified state to die!

When Andrew saw this, he could only sigh slightly.

‘If I don’t make a move now, I’ll probably suffer heavy casualties.’

He dashed forward, but in fact, he had cast two fireballs under his feet and used the special characteristics of the trail of flames spell to isolate the heat. With the boost from the explosion, he flew to the front of the Cyclops!

“Mr. Smith! No!”

The fleeing intermediate mages shouted anxiously. They felt that Andrew was overconfident this time! Even if it was to save them, he should not have taken such a risk! The mages’ physical defense was not strong. If they were to be hit head-on by the Cyclops, they would definitely die!

“No…”

These mages could only watch helplessly. Andrew’s body was gradually getting closer and closer to the Cyclops’ heavy fist. He even closed his eyes a little unwillingly. In the next second, there was a loud bang and a powerful shockwave, it sent the escaping mages and the group of stone statues that had been petrified flying.

Flame explosion.

Andrew picked a spell that was not very powerful but was quite suitable for the current situation. While blocking the Cyclops’ hammer, he also managed to save the petrified mages. Of course, although the quality of his magical power was high, it was not to the extent that he could force back the Cyclops’ hammer with just a spell.

In the short span of a few seconds, Andrew forcefully cast the intermediate spell ‘flame explosion’ more than ten times! The effect was also significant. The anti-magic dark light on the Cyclops was instantly broken, and then it was heavily injured by the huge explosion!

The three-meter-tall monster, which weighed more than 100 tons, was blown into the sky. It flew for dozens of meters before it heavily fell to the ground! The Cyclops had a huge wound on his right arm from the explosion. Fresh blood dripped from it, and the other parts of his body were also charred black. He looked quite miserable.

“I’m still alive.”

Lanza said after surviving the disaster. He was slightly stronger, so he was the first person to break free from the petrification effect after being blown away. The next second, he looked forward with some confusion, because what happened made him feel that it was simply unbelievable!

After the Cyclops used a protective spell as a special skin, he used his full strength to strike again. It was blocked by Mr. Smith! Moreover, in this collision, it was Mr. Smith who defeated the Cyclops head-on!

At this moment, Andrew also looked back calmly.

“Are you guys okay?”

Under his gaze, most of the intermediate mages had already relied on their magic power to resist the petrification effect. They stood up again, and all of them revealed expressions of gratitude.

“It’s all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I’m afraid we would all be wiped out…”

“Mm, it’s good that you’re alright.”

Andrew nodded calmly, then looked at the Cyclops that was howling furiously. The latter stood up and fell into a frenzy. A blue light once again appeared in his eyes, different from the large-scale petrification light he had released previously. This time, it was purely aimed at Andrew alone!

“Mr. Smith, be careful!”

A mage who had been saved earlier hurriedly shouted. However, Andrew just stood there calmly and did not move at all..
