What is an offensive priest?

Chapter 32 Fireball!

Looking at those red hats that have shed their sheep disguise and revealed their hideous true colors.

Avel gripped his staff tightly, his crimson eyes burning with icy fury.

"What a pack of cunning wolves!"

Richard didn't waste any more words.

Even as the first red hat appeared, a sacred crimson flame had already ignited on his right fist.

After being baptized by the Golden Dragon bloodline, the Iron Fist is even more powerful and comes with multiple attribute bonuses.

Even professional monks can no longer gain the upper hand against him.

"Gah—!"

The red hat that had been exposed as a disguise let out a resentful shriek, its scarlet eyes fixed on Richard.

It was punched by Richard, its fierce eyes filled with hatred.

Push off the ground and surge forward!

His short frame burst with astonishing speed, his iron boots leaving deep footprints in the mud, and the rusty scythe in his hand drew a sinister arc, aiming straight for Richard's ankle.

This is a tactic commonly used by the Red Hats: attacking the lower body of tall enemies, which, once successful, can disable their mobility.

But Richard reacted even faster.

He turned to the side, lifted his leg, and stomped down.

clang--

The iron boots clashed with the sickle, producing a piercing metallic clang!

The red hat was shaken back by the immense force, but instead of retreating, the ferocity in its eyes intensified.

It opened its mouthful of sharp teeth, let out a series of hoarse, eerie laughs, and then suddenly raised its right leg.

The iron boot, stained with mud and old blood, kicked hard at Richard's knee like a battering ram.

Iron will pursue!

This is Red Hat's sneak attack technique: at the moment a weapon attack is blocked, he launches a second strike with an unexpected leg technique.

Their short stature makes enemies underestimate their strength, but their specially made iron boots are enough to shatter a human's patella.

Although Richard reacted in time, the red hat was too fast and the angle was extremely tricky.

stab-

The metal toe cap of the iron boot grazed the knee guard of the chainmail, sending up a series of dazzling sparks, and leaving a deep dent on the surface of the iron plate.

The powerful impact caused Richard's knee to go numb slightly.

After landing, the red-hatted creature spun around triumphantly, its iron boots making arrogant dance steps on the muddy ground. Then, hands on its hips, it tilted its head back and let out a defiant roar.

But next second.

A large hand covered in fine iron gauntlets descended from above its head without warning!

Before the red hat could even react, the hand had already gripped its entire head tightly.

"Gah...?!"

Red Hat struggled in terror, wildly waving his scythe, trying to slash at Richard's arm.

But it's too late.

Richard's arm muscles bulged, veins popped, and he slammed down with all his might.

thump—

A dull thud, like a heavy hammer striking a sandbag!

The red-hatted man's head was slammed hard into the mud.

Mud and humus splattered everywhere, and its cervical vertebrae made a teeth-grinding sound, severely dislocated and deformed.

"puff--!"

Red Hat suddenly spat out a mouthful of dark red blood, mixed with broken teeth and fragments of internal organs.

Its body convulsed violently, and the sickle slipped from its hand and fell into the mud.

But Richard's attacks did not stop.

He lifted the red hat out of the mud puddle, and his right fist blazed with crimson flames once more.

The punches were like a whirlwind, each strike carrying the dual damage of fire and light, causing the red-hatted man's short body to slump down like a lump of mud.

Just as Richard was preparing the final blow to finish off the monster.

In the distance, a distinctive red hat slowly raised the bone staff in its hand.

Red-hatted Blood Sage.

The spellcasters within the tribe are ancient beings who wield bloody secret arts.

Bloodlust!

A dark red beam of energy shot out from the tip of the bone staff and precisely entered the body of the dying Red Hat!

Next second

"roar--!"

The red hat, which had been on its last legs, suddenly let out a piercing roar.

Its short body swelled violently, its muscles bulged wildly as if inflated, and dense dark red blood vessels appeared on its skin.

After being empowered by the Bloodlust attribute, Red Hat struggled violently, and the increase in power was so great that she actually managed to break free from Richard's suppression!

It rolled away from control, landing on all fours like a wild beast, crawling on the muddy ground, letting out a low, menacing growl from its throat.

Richard frowned and glanced at the Blood Sage in the distance.

"Take care of that spellcaster first!"

Before the words were finished—

"Melf's Acid Arrow!"

Avir's incantation has been completed ahead of schedule!

She gripped the staff with both hands, and the resonant crystal at the top of the staff emitted a dazzling, eerie purple light.

An energy arrow composed of concentrated strong acid roared out, trailing a hissing sound that corroded the air as it shot straight at the Blood Sage's chest.

Second Ring Spell: Mayof's Acid Arrow

This is a classic energy-based attack spell. The arrow itself has powerful penetrating force, and after hitting the target, it will continuously release strong acid, causing secondary corrosive damage to the enemy.

This is perfect for dealing with monsters that rely on focused spellcasting.

The arrow was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye it had already covered twenty feet, only three steps away from the Blood Sage.

But at this critical moment...

"Gah—"

Beside the Blood Sage, a red-hatted figure who had always been silently guarding him suddenly stepped forward.

He used his small body to block the trajectory of the arrow.

puff-

The acid arrow struck its left shoulder squarely.

The arrow pierced through its flesh and bones, exiting from its back and embedding itself in a dead tree behind it, corroding the trunk and creating a hole the size of a bowl.

The red hat had a fist-sized penetrating wound on its left shoulder. The flesh around the wound was rapidly rotting and bubbling under the strong acid, turning into yellowish-green pus.

Avel's magic not only failed to destroy the Blood Sages, but the blood instead ignited the bloodthirsty fairies.

The effects of Bloodlust spread wildly throughout the group!

Like green-skinned goblins engulfed in a bloodthirsty frenzy, they roared in unison, brandishing their rusty scythes as they charged toward the two.

Ten sickles gleamed with a cold, icy light in the dim light, their blades whistling as they sliced ​​through the air, while iron boots pounded the mud, splashing up filthy water.

Richard clenched his fist, and a pale golden holy light gathered wildly. He took a deep breath, and the dawn was about to break.

But just as the red-hatted man rushed into the ten-foot range...

"Fireball!"

Completely enraged by the fairies, Avel waved his staff, and the resonant crystal at the top of the staff burst forth with a dazzling orange-red light.

The enormous fireball, like a falling sun, shot towards the area where the red hats were most concentrated!

Fireball!

This is the third-circle Evocation spell, possessing extremely high burst damage; it is the absolute core damage-dealing spell for spellcasters.

Known as the graduation exam for mages, mastering the Fireball spell is considered the true essence of a damage-dealing mage!

Avel originally intended to save his spell slot for when dealing with the witch.

A fiery white mushroom cloud shot into the sky, completely evaporating the mist above the swamp!

The shockwave spread wildly from the point of explosion, and the intense fire damage instantly engulfed the red-hatted creatures that rushed forward, their howls and screams echoing through the flames.

The flames lasted for three breaths.

As the blazing white light gradually dimmed and the mushroom cloud of flames slowly dissipated.

At the epicenter of the explosion, a massive crater twenty feet in diameter and three feet deep appeared, along with charred remains scattered everywhere.

The mage is the boss!

That statement is absolutely correct.

When it comes to wide-area attack methods, Richard's Dawn of Light can also cover the entire field, but its burst damage is far inferior.

Fireball?

The priests of the Light Realm will also gain this spell at level 5, which makes Richard look forward to it.
