Mages Are Too OP

Chapter 633 - A Small Competition



Chapter 633 A Small Competition

Roland kept the two spiders lurking under the rock.

Because they were made of magic, they were very elastic and would not disappear as long as their main components were not destroyed.

Once all the sounds around them had faded, Roland directed the two remaining magic spiders to carefully crawl out of the stone fragments before darting inside the shadows of a nearby mound.

Something that was almost transparent in itself, covered by shadows and hiding in a pit, would be impossible for anyone but the gods to find.

Shortly after, three dark-skinned orcs appeared and cleared the rocks near the magic gate.

After waiting a little longer for the three orcs to leave, the two spiders crawled out and began to head north.

As they crawled, they sent images of the nearby environment to Roland.

The portal in the Realm of Devils looked the same as the one in the main plane, and it was under a large ring-shaped depression.

The elevation the magic spiders were at was too low to see beyond the depression.

So, Roland made them crawl outward. They were pretty fast, and within two minutes, they had climbed to the top of the left and right sides of the depression, respectively. Then, a circle of densely-packed stone tents in the distance was transmitted to Roland’s mind.

So the teleportation magic array is surrounded.

Roland muttered in his mind.

The two magic spiders then looked for gaps between the stones to hide in this area.

The magic spiders were effective for over twenty hours, and Roland continued to receive the images they sent back while sitting near the portal

After a day and a night of surveillance, when the two magic spiders disappeared naturally, Roland got up and teleported back to Delpon under everyone’s gazes.

Then after about half an hour, a new post by Roland appeared on the forums.

Because the image transmitted back by the magic spider appeared directly in Roland’s mind and couldn’t be captured by the video recording system, Roland could only express it in words.

“Outside the magic portal to the Realm of Devils, there are about thirty thousand soldiers on standby, all above Elite plus a large number of Masters, as well as a small number of Legends. There are some strange, gray, translucent soul-like devils wandering above the magic portal that are hard to notice, and the magic spiders only discovered their presence in the last hour. They may be the reason for the scouts’ inexplicable deaths.

“There are many races in the Realm of Devils’ army. There are legendary succubi, fear demons, fiery imps, and even dark-skinned orcs, as well as dark-skinned multi-armed Naga. Also, among the Legendary demons, most of them are monsters with a human upper body, a dragon’s lower body, and wings on their backs. I didn’t find any descriptions of them in the books related to the devils, so I personally gave them a name, walking winged devils.

“Also, the demon army is gathering… over the twenty-four hours of surveillance, their numbers have risen by another three or four thousand or so.

“The Realm of Devils is very desolate and dry, the ground is cracked. If we are to make a campaign against the Realm of Devils then logistics must certainly keep up, and the assurance of water resources is a top priority. It’s recommended that all Mages learn the endless water-making spell that I invented.”

There weren’t many words in Roland’s post, but it was quite insightful.

All the players now knew that the fiend army was lying in ambush near the portal, so they were in even less of a hurry to get in. Since the Realm of Devils was desolate, they would have a lot of logistical problems, so it’d be a competition of who had more food.

While the fiend army was assembling, the players were also assembling.

In just twenty-four hours, two thousand more people had arrived in Sisilia.

The city guards were under even more pressure.

Many players had left comments under Roland’s post.

“Many thanks for the information, Almighty, I hope you continue to update.” “It’s better to rely on yourself. You guys should also learn from Roland and create some magic spiders to go in and scout for information.”

“Yeah, yeah, don’t keep relying on others. Hundreds of thousands of people relying on a single Mage to grant vision, isn’t that embarrassing.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to learn it, it’s that Roland didn’t publish the spell model of the magic spider.”

“It’s all excuses. He could create it, but none of you can create a magic spider-like spell?”

“People and their abilities are different, and all of us spellcasters acknowledge that there are three types of Mages: Roland, talented Mages, and sh*tty ordinary Mages. The number of sh*tty ordinary Mages makes up 95% of the number of all Mages.”

“According to the livestream, Roland has slipped away and doesn’t seem to want to poke around for information anymore… Begging for Almighty Roland to continue to help us scout the situation over there, preferably in the real-time subbed feed.”

“So many demands, does he owe you?”

“It’s an official event quest, contribute what you can, pay what you can. We’re not kidnapping Roland, but right now, he’s the only one with a way to see what’s going on over there, and if he doesn’t help, who can do the same as he does?”

“To put it bluntly, you guys are still noobs, that’s why you pin your hopes on one person.” As usual, the idiotic netizens discussed to a certain point and then quarreled. Once Roland returned to the city of Delpon, he went to the forging room to start a fire.

To fight against the devils, he had to have specific equipment.

According to the knight and hero novels, as well as some experiences recorded by former Mages, all devils were extremely afraid of the light.

The next best things were lightning and fire.

Roland didn’t know light attribute enchantments, but fire attribute enchantment recipes, he still knew two or three of them.

In addition to the attack-type enchantment recipes, there were also some defensive enchantments.

For example, armor could have “resist evil attacks for X points of damage” attached to it, or darkness resistance and other enchantments that could be useful.

If it was possible, Roland wanted all of his equipment to be enchanted with fire elemental attacks.

But it wasn’t practical; for one thing, the Magic Tower didn’t have so much of the magic material needed for the fire elemental attack enchantment.

Even if he bought in large quantities now, he wouldn’t be able to get much, and the profiteers would take advantage of this to raise the price.

So… a balance of offense and defense was the way to save money.

Saving is earning! It just so happened that Cornucopia had sent over the black dragon’s dragon skin and dragon bones, so Roland took the opportunity to start forging a lot of magical equipment. All of this dragon-type equipment had the extremely rare enchantment Auto-Repair added to it.

After all, it was dragon-type equipment, a rarely seen top-tier equipment, worthy of Auto-Repair, an extremely magic material consuming enchantment.

It took him seven days to build the magic equipment.

Upon completion, he sent Douglas a magic cloak.

Then with this newly built equipment, he teleported to Sisilia.

In the center of the city, he found a small inn that was in a small alley, less frequented and rather secluded, based on the information left by his friends in the guild chat room.

This was F6’s secret gathering place, sought out and set up by the Rogue Husseret.

Distributing all the dragon-type equipment, Roland said, “Although I said on the forum that we don’t want to fight at the vanguard, that’s just a trick to deceive them, because I suspect that there may be someone who has actually secretly joined the side of the devils.”

“How is that possible!” Li Lin found Roland’s suspicion unbelievable.

“That’s normal,” Schuck said as he leaned against the wall with his arms across his chest. “I’ve checked the records in the Temple of Light, and every time those fiends invade, there are always traitors among the humans. And you know the character of us players; some of them just like to take a different route, not bound by concepts like good and evil.”

Li Lin still didn’t feel it was right. “But until now, no one has entered the magic gate.”

Roland shook his head and said, “I can teleport long distances and can do so across realms, other Mages might be able to as well.”

“You are the strongest Mage, no Mage in the whole server is more powerful than you.” Husseret laughed.

Roland waved his hand. “The character of our countrymen is clear to you. Many people like to amass wealth while keeping a low profile. There may be other people who also know Long-Distance Teleportation, but they just don’t talk about it, covering it up. Can you guarantee that no one does this? I don’t think I can, by myself, outperform more than fifty thousand Mages in the entire server or be smarter than all of them.”

They heard Roland say this and felt that it seemed quite reasonable.

Roland continued, “So to ensure that we are going to be the first to go in and that the information about when to go in will not be revealed, concealing information is a must. And I suspect that the first guild to reach the other side and get a firm footing may be rewarded.”

The other F6 members continued to nod, speculating that this was highly likely based on the number and type of rewards the system had issued over the past two years or so. “If the rewards can add attributes, our guild definitely has to get them.” Roland took out the magic materials. “So, I have an idea!”

Roland then began to explain the plan.

Ever since Roland appeared at the magic portal and posted the information in the forum, the large guilds started rushing to Sisilia.

The fastest of these was the Summoner girls of the Phoenix Guild.

When they moved, it was extremely loud, with the overwhelming number of summoned beasts moving in tandem.

Although they lost to Roland in the battle royale competition…

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it wasn’t because the Phoenix Guild’s girls weren’t strong, it was because Roland was too freakishly strong.

They were, in essence, the number two guild.

In the last first three months, they had passed the test of Earl Torry of the Holy Realm and managed to establish a real, recognized guild by the game. It was not as impressive as F6 for now, but it had a lot of promise.

At least 90% of the girls had joined the Phoenix guild and become Summoners.

Only a few of the female players who were faithful to a certain profession chose something else to play.

They didn’t care if their profession was strong or not, they just liked it.

It wasn’t something that could be bought with gold.

In addition to the Phoenix Guild, Moon Shadow, Cornucopia, the Church of Garland, and Silver Wings, which had rebuilt its guild, and other guilds with some ability had all gathered in Sisilia.

Around the teleportation magic gate, there were already nearly twenty thousand players waiting at this time.

The people from Cornucopia were also mixed among them.

Charles sat on a mound of dirt, surrounded by people from his guild, but even so, he kept his voice low.

“I believe that as long as a guild is the first to get a firm foothold in the Realm of Devils and establish a bridgehead, then the entire guild is bound to receive a great system reward.” Charles looked around at the guild members with resignation on his face that was impossible to ignore. “This is not only my reasoning but that of all the guild chairmen. We are all clear about one thing> no matter which guild it is, the first one to enter the teleportation magic gate will definitely be attacked the hardest.”

The guild members nodded. This was something they could guess and understand. The Realm of Devils had assembled thousands of soldiers near the portal and not for nothing.

“It turns out that we weren’t qualified to participate in such a competition.” Charles revealed a smile. “But with Roland’s help, we immediately gained thirteen Elites who are close to Master and four Master combat professionals. I have to say, Roland is quite the mascot for the surrounding people.” The members of the Cornucopia all laughed aloud.

Charles continued, “Right now, our guild, although not at tier zero, is at least tier one. If we can take the reward, we might be able to jump to tier zero. At that time, our strength will rise again. We might be able to reach tier zero, and although it definitely won’t be as good as those girls of the Phoenix Guild, it will ensure that we will not be bullied by random people anymore when we do business. So, for the sake of wealth, we have to participate in this competition.”

“What should I do then?” a member asked.

“Stay close to F6, they’ll more than likely be the first to enter the portal.” Charles pointed to the magic portal in the distance. “Then crowd out the others that come. First, have our combatants follow F6 into the magic portal, then the rest of us block the front of the portal and try to stop them from entering it for a short time. F6 will definitely be heavily targeted by the devils, then our combatants will break through quickly. If two or three of us escape and survive for a while, I think we should be able to get the reward.”

“Can the chairman guarantee that if we survive for a while, we’ll get the reward?”

“No, but we can try, and it won’t be considered too much of a loss anyway.” Businessmen have always been adventurous, and Charles inherited this trait perfectly.

Just as Charles finished speaking, two flashes of light suddenly appeared in front of the magic gate, followed by Roland and Schuck appearing at the same time.

As soon as Charles saw them, he immediately jumped up. “Quick, they’re here, act according to the plan… How come there are only two of them? No matter, charge over.”

As a result, they had just stood up, only to find that there were more people around them standing up almost at the same time.

Then they looked at each other and found that these people who stood up were the main force of the major guilds, who had previously hidden in the crowd… They immediately understood it all.

Sh*t! So you guys also had this idea.

At that moment, they charged forward frantically. Some used the Charge, others used the Leap Slash.

Those who were slower to follow immediately went to pull the lapels of those who rushed past them from other guilds.

Then a chorus of curses rang out from the crowd.

It was chaos.

As soon as Roland and Schuck appeared, they immediately headed for the teleportation magic array without any hesitation or lingering
