Chapter 807: Chapter 805: Battle Beyond Ten Thousand Meters
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Time had moved to October, the Frost Month.
The temperature began to drop noticeably, making it clear that autumn had arrived, and one could distinctly feel that winter was slowly approaching.
Richard had returned to Jialan City, more precisely, shortly after Ken joined the Truth Society.
To be honest, in Richard’s mind, he wanted to stay with Ken and delve into the core secrets of the Truth Society. But he was, after all, just a newcomer to the Society, and making a big fuss would easily attract suspicion. Helplessly, he had to return to Jialan City, planning for the long term, quietly and subtly investigating the core secrets of the Truth Society.
In the process, he agreed to Joseph’s suggestions concerning the magic rune services and provided the Truth Society with numerous relatively simple magic tools, earning a large amount of points—an amount that would make anyone envious.
And these were already the results of his restraint. Otherwise, with the light engraving technology, he could mass-produce magic tools. As long as the raw materials were abundant, he could continuously and indiscriminately sell the finished products to the Truth Society, confident that given enough time, he could cause the Society to go bankrupt.
But that would be too suspicious, so he had recently started intentionally reducing production quantities.
The reason being, the magic tools previously provided to the Truth Society were all from stock. Now that the stock was depleted, he could only make them as needed, naturally reducing the efficiency, providing an explanation of sorts.
During this time, he hadn’t devoted all his attention to the Truth Society, after all, the Society was a focal point for him, but not everything.
In his spare time, he continued to conduct various personal research, particularly on upgrading the fighter mode. The effects obtained were pretty good, something that the rekindled challenged spirit of Bobbobovic deeply experienced.
A month later in the Frost Month, in the afternoon, as dusk approached.
Outside Jialan City, the not yet set sun shone in all directions, illuminating the world brightly.
Bobbobovic’s body was suspended more than a kilometer above the ground in the sky, vigilantly watching his surroundings.
To be honest, the current height made him very uncomfortable. Besides the psychological fear, there was a sense of unfamiliarity, making him no longer proficient in spell casting.
However, Bobbobovic did not show his unease on the surface, his face displaying an annoyed expression, scanning the surroundings, shouting: “Hey, Richard! Where are you, hurry up and come out! Every time you exchange combat tactics with me, it’s always so sneaky, can’t you be more upfront! Hey, come out quickly, or else I won’t be polite!”
But no matter how Bobbobovic shouted, the surrounding sky was extremely quiet, without any response.
Bobbobovic’s gaze became serious, based on past experience, this was clearly a precursor to Richard’s attack, but where was Richard hiding?
Daytime visibility was much better than at night, and he had intentionally chosen a place with few clouds, scanning thousands of meters around, yet he couldn’t spot Richard’s shadow at all.
Could Richard be hiding beyond ten thousand meters?
This would be a bit too much, wouldn’t it?
Thinking of this, Bobbobovic suddenly looked up, staring into the distance, his pupils emitting a blue light as he cast a spell to enhance his vision.
In the next moment, he saw a black dot flash somewhere in the sky over ten thousand meters away.
The thought arose in Bobbobovic’s mind, but he wasn’t certain.
Because the black dot disappeared too quickly, he couldn’t determine if it was a person or a bird.
However, not long after, he knew the answer.
Accompanied by a barely audible whistling sound, two black streaks shot rapidly from the direction of the black dot he saw earlier, flying straight towards his body—they were strange magic rune arrow attacks sent by Richard from beyond ten times his casting limit range.
Seeing the magic rune arrows approaching, Bobbobovic dared not be careless, casting spells to control his body to dodge swiftly.
Bobbobovic’s body suddenly veered left in the high sky, then abruptly ascended. The closer magic rune arrow couldn’t change direction due to distance, narrowly missing Bobbobovic’s body.
However, the second one couldn’t be avoided; it was right in front of Bobbobovic.
Bobbobovic pursed his lips, reluctantly activating the magic tool ring on his hand, and a milky white energy light shield rapidly formed.
The second magic rune arrow struck the energy light shield forcefully, exploding violently, shattering the light shield with a “crash,” leaving its remaining power madly pouring towards Bobbobovic’s body.
Bobbobovic hurriedly cast a small energy shield to fend it off, but his body had still inevitably suffered an impact, his chest feeling sorely stuffy.
“Damn it, the power of this magic rune arrow seems to have increased quite a bit!”
Thought Bobbobovic to himself, with no time to ponder further as two more magic rune arrows flew from the previous direction. As for Richard’s figure, it remained out of sight, always beyond vision. Unless the entire sky was cloudless, it might be possible to discover him.
Bobbobovic, in light of this, felt utterly dejected.
Screw the dream, screw regaining face!
Screw dignity, screw the Wizard “White Dove”!
Was his brain caught in a door, thinking he could really teach this freak Richard a lesson?
Indeed, he recently got a new potion to boost his strength, and utilized the Truth Society’s connections to learn a spell that could attack over a thousand meters. With this dual approach, he could fight battles within two to three thousand meters.
But who would have known, this freak Richard had pushed the battle range to over ten thousand meters.
Is this still a battle?
Even voice transmission takes ages to reach, it’s just not a battle, okay!
As for what it was not, he didn’t know, but he was quite sure that battles didn’t play out , Richard was cheating!
Then what’s the point of fighting, he wanted to go home, no, return to Ash Academy.
Two magic rune arrows flew over, Bobbobovic cast multiple magic shields, barely fending them off, feeling as if he could cough up blood, decisively surrendered.
“Hey, Richard, I quit! Quit, do you hear me!” Bobbobovic shouted, then waved his short wand, a puff of dense white smoke exploded, serving as a white flag.
Richard’s figure appeared above Bobbobovic, asking, “You’re surrendering just like that? That doesn’t seem like you, a few days ago, weren’t you able to hold out for a dozen rounds?”
“Nonsense, a few days ago, I could barely see you, occasionally attempt a counterattack. Even if it did no substantial damage, there was at least some psychological comfort. But today, you flew directly ten thousand meters away, making any counterattack impossible, not even offering psychological comfort, what’s the point of persisting! I’m telling you, from today forward, I absolutely won’t discuss combat tactics with you, otherwise, I’m a pig!” Bobbobovic said angrily, stern-faced.
“Don’t be like that,” Richard said.
“Exactly like that!” Bobbobovic continued angrily, stern-faced, “Alright, I won’t say much more to you, I’m heading back. I’m going to research whether I could, in my own way, infiltrate the Truth Society, and understand its core information.”
“Alright then,” Richard said reluctantly, bidding goodbye, “Farewell?”
“Farewell!” Bobbobovic grudgingly descended to tens of meters high, then flew back to his Ash Academy.
