Magic Coin

Eternal Night Demon Tower.

The cold, blood-stained metal walls, the dark and deep corridors, and the seven humans sneaking along the walls were still there.

—Those were the members of the [Magic Coin] guild, led by Charlotte.

They are exploring following the route shown in the Steamed Bun video.

Charlotte held the specially made map he had paid for to find the Steamed Bun, staring at the simple line drawing-like pattern on it, her face gloomy.

"Is this guy, Steamed Bun, ripping me off? He's charging me fifteen Gold Coin for this?"

[Magic Coin] opened a "Magic Office" in North Wind Fortress. Without the arrogance of a so-called spellcaster, he accepted all kinds of commissions, big and small, relying on his magical abilities. From using the Speak with Dead to track down murderers across thousands of miles and eliminate monsters that were causing trouble in the area, to setting off magical fireworks to celebrate weddings and using Divination Spell to find the lost cat of the neighbor lady, he made a fortune.

Its guild leader, Charlotte, already had a reputation for being a "Da Tou," though he himself was unaware of it. It was said that even when Magic Scroll were sold at three times the market price, this extravagant guild leader would buy them without hesitation, causing everyone to unanimously raise prices for Magic Coin during procurement.

When he encountered Da Tou, Steamed Bun naturally got a piece of the pie, selling Charlotte his personally drawn deluxe map for the "low price" of fifteen Gold Coin, and then happily ran off to pay off his debt—in reality, he only spent five minutes drawing it.

The vice president, "Ming Yue," looked at the rather abstract map and pondered for a moment before saying:

"This is the Death Corridor mentioned on the forum. It's said that if an intruder is detected here, a dragon-like monster will be released, and many people have perished here."

Charlotte frowned and said, "This dungeon is way too difficult. There are tons of dragon-like monsters and ridiculously high-level mage bosses. It's not like it's meant for us Internal Beta testers. Let's just try our best to get the rewards this time. Dying once or twice is no big deal."

The "Flying Witch" peeked out from the side, brimming with confidence, and said:

"Guild Master, believe in the power of unity! We will definitely defeat the evil sorcerer!"

"."

Hearing the Flying Witch's words, Charlotte was not at ease; instead, she became uneasy.

His guild member, "Flying Witch," has a rather legendary background and is quite famous on the forums, not for skill but for sheer luck. This dungeon was too difficult, so he only brought members who had reached level four, and Flying Witch was one of them.

As for how she got to level four?

During the Trill Battle, she triggered Wild Magic Surge, summoning three Fireball that instantly vaporized an army of hundreds, earning her the nickname "Lucky Dog Fighter."

During the Frost Giant Battle, she triggered another Wild Magic Surge, instantly unleashing Chain Lightning that turned five Frost Giant into charred remains. After this battle, she became the player with the most experience in the guild, and the experience gained from that single lightning strike was enough to level her up to level six.

Given her impressive track record, why doesn't Charlotte trust her? Simply because Wild Sorcerer are pure gamblers.

Most of the effects in the Wild Magic Surge are negative, and many can even wipe out the entire team. The most popular related video on the forum is "Wild Sorcerer's Charisma Moments," in which the Wild Sorcerer triggers the effect of Fireball at his feet, single-handedly turning a seemingly easy boss fight into a perilous situation, with his teammates screaming in despair.

There's a saying that a monk's family will be poor for three generations, and a wild life will ruin one's life.

Charlotte hadn't originally planned to bring the Flying Witch along, but she couldn't resist her persistent pleas, and the team lacked immediate combat power, so she reluctantly let her join the dungeon.

He pondered for a long time before patting her shoulder and saying earnestly:

"Just stay calm and try not to be reckless."

"Yes, Chairman."

The Flying Witch nodded obediently.

Ming Yue whispered a reminder from the side, "Guild Leader, I've activated [Owl's Wisdom], which allows me to detect the slightest movements. We need to speed things up; those monsters are coming soon."

Charlotte instructed, "Don't waste time here, let's activate invisibility, Feng Ling?"

The female player with the ID "Feng Ling" took out an invisibility potion that she had prepared beforehand and distributed it to everyone. She was a player specializing in magic potion making in the guild [Magic Coin], and could be called the god of logistics in the guild.

"Aww—"

With a loud bang, the iron cage at the end of the corridor slowly opened.

Countless hideous dragon-like monsters eagerly surged out of the darkness.

Gnoll, centaurs, Goblin, Lizardmen, and even monsters created from humans mingled together. Their murky, scarlet eyes were filled with madness, their bodies were covered with sparse scales, and they were covered in a sticky, foul-smelling liquid. The air was thick with the stench of blood.

As incomplete Dragon Vein Creature, they possess an exceptionally keen sense of smell.

The monsters, smelling the scent in the air, discovered the location of the group of mage players and charged straight at them.

"Oh no, they've spotted us!"

"We have no choice but to grit our teeth and charge forward!"

Charlotte gritted her teeth and swung her staff, the intense magical light flashing.

Aganazzar's Scorcher

A linear surge of flames spread from the direction his staff pointed, causing large numbers of monsters within its path to burst into flames. As descendants of the White Dragon, they had little resistance to fire.

Feng Yun and the others also cast spells one after another, with dazzling magical lights reflecting off each other.

A barrage of spells, including Scorching Ray, Ray of Sickness, Dragon Breath, Flaming Sphere, and Melf's Acid Arrow, swarmed the monsters. Fog Cloud obscured their vision, and Grease slowed their movements, making the mage player quite powerful in the battle.

But there were just too many monsters.

Even if the monsters in front are hit by flames or slip on Grease, those behind will step on their "comrades'" bodies and surge forward without hesitation, like an endless tide.

"Guild Master, we can't hold on much longer! There are just too many monsters!"

Feng Yun used his staff to knock out the dragon-transformed Dire Wolf that lunged at him, and shouted at Charlotte.

Charlotte frowned. They hadn't gotten anything this time, and had even bought a bunch of things for nothing, without even breaking even. Was this the end of the road?

"President, let me do it!"

With a powerful roar, the Flying Witch seemed to transform into a different person as she stood before Charlotte.

At that moment, she seemed like a hero who had saved the entire guild.

A surging and chaotic wave of magic surged before her, causing even the monsters to tremble in fear. In fact, she had no idea what spells she could use; her main strategy was to draw cards randomly and cast spells at will.
