Netheril's Glory Chapter 46: A Team of three. 

Laurock Hotel was a small hotel located on the side of the southern city wall of Konola City. From the business perspective, it was undoubtedly unwise to be located in a remote area, but if one took its true identity as the secret passage for evaluation, it would be another matter. Besides, there was a sparse forest on the south of Konola City, which was called "Endless Swamp" by the locals. Through this swampy forest, one could reach all the way to the neighboring country of the Kingdom of Camos- The Dylan Kingdom, which had always been at odds with Camos. There was also such thing as political asylum on the plane of Pheren. So If the princess could obtain the Dylan Kingdom's asylum, then at least there was no need to worry about her life. 

It happened that Punk also wanted to leave the kingdom of Camos, which was now in civil strife, so the goal of going to the Dylan kingdom was the same as that of McNeesey. Of course, the most important thing was to escape the impending destruction of Konola first! 

The speed of the wolf was remarkable. Within half an hour, Punk arrived near the Laurock Hotel. The fire burned nearly a quarter of the hotel. The beautiful plaque, which was originally painted pink, also became half a piece of black lacquer wood under the fire. However, although it looked miserable and crumbling in appearance, according to Punk's observations, the fire should have been effectively controlled just in time, and the main structure of the house was barely preserved, so the bearing beams had not yet turned into charcoal. 

The wolf's footsteps stopped behind a broken stone wall, and because the wolves had a kind of meat pads on their dewclaws, they didn't make any sound despite their colossal size. 

Punk quietly released the spell Mystic Eye. A completely transparent eyeball floated out from behind the wall and started to watch the three young professionals not far away on the street. These three professionals were only apprentice level. They should have come here to conduct routine patrols. And It seemed that they didn't think that there would be any danger in such a place where even a living person could not be seen. So, not only do they did not pay attention to their surroundings, they were even in the mood to play around. 

Most low-level professionals on the Pheren plane were generally young, and many of them were simply children. So some of them lacked emotional and intellectual maturity to be always cautious even in such an unforgiving world. 

Punk watched the three idiots quietly who didn't even have a clue that an imminent disaster about befell them. 

"They have to be resolved swiftly and carefully. All the professionals under Lenka are equipped with signaling techniques. So don't let them send any signal."

McNeesey's voice was delivered to Punk's ears through a simple communication technique. 

Punk also put away the unrelated thoughts in his mind after the reminder of McNeesey.

Although it was not difficult to solve these apprentice-level "little guys," but when the prerequisite of "swiftly" was added. It became somewhat tricky. After all, Punk was a mage, not an Assassin. 

After thinking about it carefully, Punk decided to start with the higher-level young Priest. As when the caster was attacked in a team, most of the surrounding combatants would choose to gather near the caster for assistance, especially these hot-blooded and naive young peoples. And they most likely would not abandon a companion, even when the decision of escape was the best choice in the face of an irresistible danger. 

Punk decided to take advantage of this fact and let them gather together, then use an AOE spell to kill them all in one go. 

After Punk decided on a plan, he immediately took action. In the shadow of his hood, a large amount of azure blue magical light slowly revolved around his pupils, which were filled with coldness and indifference. 

"Vertigo"

It was an upgraded version of the secondary stun spell, a spell that Punk had meticulously practiced in the past. And this spell only required a few key spell gestures to guide and didn't used any casting materials. Punk completed the spell model almost instantly inside his mind palace and released it into reality. As this spell belonged to the curse-type, it instantly traveled a distance of fifty meters and descended into the young Priest's brain. 

The young Priest, who was still chatting and laughing with the girl archer next to him, suddenly stood up, and traces of blood slowly started to flow out of his eyes and nose. This young Priest did not put any defensive spell on himself, so he was hit by the Vertigo spell directly! 

One shouldn't think that auxiliary spell didn't have any lethality. Punk's stun spell, casted by a 7th-level mage, hit this little Priest at most 4th level without any buffer, so the Priest's mental power was instantly shattered. And judging from his appearance, his brain nerves had also been damaged; now, he would definitely become an idiot if not paralyzed. 

"Noah! What's wrong with you!" 

The soldier walking behind the young Priest rushed over to check the Priest's condition, who was slowly falling to the ground as he could no longer control his body. 

"Don't go!"

The archer girl next to him seemed to have thought of something and tried to remind the warrior who was rushing towards the Priest. 

"Too late!" 

The young warrior, who was trying to shake the Priest out of his dazed state, didn't notice that a white shadow was galloping toward him from the above. As a result, the warrior couldn't even put up a resistance as he was bitten by the Punk's summoned wolf. As the wolf roared and shook his head fiercely, most of the young warrior's lower abdomen and one thigh were torn off like paper, and a large amount of blood and minced meat were sprinkled on the hot ground. 

The archer girl who saw this scene started to shed drops of crystal tears from her eyes. The companion who was chatting and laughing with her just a few moments ago, now dying a miserable death in front of her own eyes. She simply couldn't accept such a cruel reality. 

But Punk didn't care about whether a dying person could accept the reality or not. And he quickly casted a spell "Arcane explosion" toward the young warrior who was now rolling and wailing on the ground. A pulsing lavender flame directly hit the warrior, and a ring of fire carrying a large amount of kinetic energy spread out from the center. 

The "Arcane explosion" was a ranged spell that possessed a high-temperature burning ability and also carried a large amount of chaotic kinetic energy. That's why Its potent destructive ability was very suitable to be used against physical defenses such as armor. 

Under the rotating diffusion of Arcane fire, the wailing warrior and the dazed young Priest were torn and burned into a focal block of the ground in just seconds. The whole brick road was also subjected to the same treatment and torn to pieces by the chaotic kinetic energy. 

But the archer girl escaped. The red necklace on her neck activated a magical shield. Three scarlet shields emerged in the air and started to revolve around the girl's body. This shield almost entirely stopped the Arcane fire and the kinetic force. 

Punk's eyes narrowed slightly; he recognized this divine art. It was the "Scarlet Shield," an art produced by the Church of the God of Warriors. 

The girl archer leaped backward like an angry cat and jumped to a rock protruding from the ground. She yelled at Punk angrily:

"Do you know what you did? Noah is a Priest of the warrior church."

 After finishing speaking, the girl pressed her red lips tightly and pulled down the flare hanging on her waist. Obviously, she was not stupid and wanted to send a signal for reinforcements! 

But she couldn't use it anymore. In the girl's astonished eyes, a crooked yellow light collided with the scarlet shield, and the seemingly indestructible shield turned into scarlet light dots in the air in less than two seconds. 

"Trainee-level incantation spell-Energy dissipation."

This spell was used by Punk, which scattered energy away from an object by creating a repulsive effect. It was most effective against this kind of "rootless tree" technique activated by magical items, as it didn't have any energy source to replenish itself. 

"There are trillions of believers in Church of Warriors all over the universe. Do you think he cares about the life and death of a little apprentice Priest?" 

A Vertigo spell hit the girl in the next second, and Punk's words filled with irony was the last thing she heard before losing consciousness.
