"A golem-type enemy?"

Jia Paer drew his Stars Linked Sword, its blade shimmering with a star-like light.

"It really does sound like a magician's style; those guys love tinkering with this kind of stuff."

It's nothing but a soulless dead thing; how could such a thing possibly compare to my well-trained body?

He gripped the Stars Linked Sword tightly, which could have instantly killed the enemy in front of him, but after thinking about it, he felt that the Stars Linked Sword's Weapon Skill effects were a perfect match for a place like the Magic Classroom.

So he decided to use his Weapon Skill to kill the Puppet Soldier in front of him!

He thought to himself, "I can carry Image Stone with me from now on and take pictures of my cool fighting posture." Just then, the Puppet Soldier at the forefront, holding a spear, arrived in front of him and thrust the sharp spear forward.

For Jia Paer, the attack was too slow; he simply swung his spear and cut the puppet Puppet Soldier in two.

The azure star effect even affected the monster behind the spear Doll, splitting it in two, which looked quite pleasing to the eye.

The only regret was that he deliberately held back his strength so he could enjoy himself a little longer; otherwise, that one burst would have cleared the place out of the room.

"The golem is as sluggish as ever," he said, slightly dodging the slash. "Why do mages always like to study this? They'd be better off developing elemental creatures."

The Stars Linked Sword Weapon Skill was activated, and beautiful sword light flashed continuously among the Puppet Soldier.

A Puppet Soldier, broken in two but still able to move with difficulty, was about to launch a sneak attack. However, just as the straight sword was about to pierce Jia Paer, the figure exploded into a cloud of black smoke and instantly appeared in mid-air.

This move is so versatile and enjoyable to use. It allows you to instantly become invisible and dodge enemy attacks, making it an excellent move for thrill-seekers.

With a single sword strike, the Puppet Soldier was cleaved vertically in two, and Jia Paer then used the same technique again.

But this time a small problem arose.

As he leaped high into the air, before he could adjust his posture to be more suitable for "Power Chop Mountain," he suddenly saw that behind the many Puppet Soldier wielding melee weapons, the Doll holding Repeating Crossbow were malfunctioning and twisting and turning.

It broke down on its own before I even had a chance to attack it?

Jia Paer couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that the Zane Dungeon wasn't perfect either, as it also contained such trashy monsters.

Just then, the Puppet Soldier suddenly started spinning wildly at high speed. If a human were to do such a thing, they would probably be dead by now, but the Doll wouldn't.

"Da da da—"

Along with the high-speed rotation, Repeating Crossbow with constantly vibrating mechanisms appeared!

A barrage of arrows, accompanied by high-speed spinning, formed a 360-degree attack with no blind spots!

This appearance is just too bizarre!

The Repeating Crossbow Puppet Soldier, known as Elden Little Left Bow!

Jia Paer had to adjust his posture in mid-air to block the arrows; being shot in mid-air was extremely uncomfortable.

He thought that once he landed, he would grab a few Puppet Soldier to use as shields, but then he realized that their bodies were hollow and could not block arrows at all!

Damn it, the Zane Dungeon, was this part of your plan too?!

As Jia Paer landed, the Puppet Soldier closest to him also started spinning!

The bizarre movements and attack speed created a chaotic scene that even made Buddha involuntarily close his eyes.

Reduce the attack speed of the left bow and the ring attack slightly, then divide them evenly into dozens of parts; these are the Puppet Soldier.

As soon as Jia Paer landed, or even before he did, he was swept up by the Mystical Space Typhoon, and the sound of hammering echoed throughout the corridor.

That's right, Jia Paer was actually able to hold his own under these circumstances!

His sword was swung so fast that even the afterimages were no longer visible. If it weren't for his strong physical abilities, he would probably have become a punching bag by now.

In a moment of crisis, people will subconsciously choose the most familiar way of fighting. His familiar way was to parry. He subconsciously clashed with the Puppet Soldier for two seconds before he came to his senses.

At this moment, his face was contorted with rage, the reason for which was his heartache for Stars Linked Sword.

Damn it, which magician designed these Puppet Soldiers? In just a few short seconds, Jia Paer felt the sharpness of the Stars Linked Sword was rapidly decreasing, and it could break at any moment!

He absolutely did not want to see that scene, and he would protect his sword even if it meant getting injured himself, so—

"Whoosh!"

The weapon was tossed high into the air, and he ripped open his loose shirt to reveal his muscular physique, intending to dismantle these despicable creatures with his bare hands!

All kinds of martial arts skills are achieved by abandoning formalities.

However.

Just as he was about to fight with his bare hands, the Puppet Soldier all stopped abruptly.

The Mystical Space Typhoon lasted only a short time, so short that it stopped as soon as Jia Paer abandoned the formalities.

"."

His arms, raised high, hung in the air, seemingly unsure of what to do with them.

This feeling is like when Kuang Gu finally Magnetic Field Rotation One Million Horsepower with his Sea Tiger Explosive Fist, ready to crush the enemy in one fell swoop, only for the enemy to suddenly commit suicide.

It's like punching cotton; you have the strength but nowhere to use it.

A moment later, Jia Paer stepped onto the scattered fragments of Puppet Soldier and walked into the other Magic Classroom.

If there were a hidden door, it could be triggered by simply hitting it once.

He picked up the Puppet Soldier's straight sword and unleashed a 360-degree circular sword aura, sweeping across every corner of the classroom. Any traps or mechanisms present would immediately become visible!

As expected, the authorities have indeed come out!

Suddenly, raindrops of Glintstone Pebble rained down from the ceiling!

A small fire tornado, as tall as a person, appeared in the upper left corner!

A crackling ball of lightning appeared in the lower left corner!

Blue plants, containing potent poison, appeared in the lower right and upper right corners and began to entwine around Jia Paer.

There were indeed hidden mechanisms in the classroom, and his attack, which had no blind spots, had triggered all of them at once!

Compared to the Mystical Space Typhoon of Puppet Soldier, the current scene seems to better fit the description of a hellish landscape, a chaotic dance of demons.

When Jia Paer finally walked out of the classroom, his upper body was missing his clothes, and his hair was singed by the flames, giving his originally dashing old-fashioned gray hair a touch of fashionable black.

He will never say again that the Zane Dungeon is dead; the traps there are still as disgusting as ever.

It seems to have anticipated that adventurers would knock around looking for hidden doors after realizing something was wrong with the corridor, so it set up hidden traps in the corners that would be triggered when hit.

Incidentally, if two or more traps are triggered in the same classroom, all traps will be triggered simultaneously.

The traps are designed to defend against players like Jia Paer. Of course, if someone stands outside the classroom door and uses magic to bombard the inside from a distance, then these traps are useless.

However, there are still ways to impose sanctions.

"Click-clack."

The moment Jia Paer stepped out of the classroom, the same number of Puppet Soldier fell from the ceiling as before.

This time, he wouldn't wait for the opponent to Ultimate Skill; he would directly take action and dismantle it completely in no time.

It can't be that every time you leave a classroom, a Puppet Soldier will be parachuted in, right?

No, that's not true. While Jia Paer was tinkering in another classroom, a new batch of Doll arrived. The refresh conditions for these dolls are calculated based on time.

Good heavens, if we can't find a way to leave this place, we'll be constantly harassed by monsters until we run out of supplies.

The ceiling opens when the Puppet Soldier land. Jia Paer tried jumping up to find out what was going on, but all he found was white smoke.

The moment he touches that thing, he will be instantly teleported back to the vicinity of the elevator.

So the entire ceiling was filled with open teleportation chests?

Even if you use sword energy to cut through the ceiling, the smoke will not disappear, which can be said to have cut off people's idea of taking evil paths through the ceiling.

Under the constant harassment of traps and monsters, Jia Paer felt as if he had endured an endless August. Finally, when he knocked on a corner, a hidden door opened.

"Once I get out, I'll definitely make sure everyone knows where this broken door is." He walked into the hidden door with a grim face.

Well, the location of the hidden door changes randomly.

Behind the hidden door was the classroom that couldn't be opened at first, and he watched as a point of light appeared on the podium.

In that instant, he seemed to understand something.

The only way to find this point of light is through the method approved by the Zane Dungeon, which is to enter this room through the hidden door!

If you force your way in, you'll find nothing.

Transfer Certificate

To evade their natural enemies, mages constructed alternate dimensions that do not exist in reality. Transfer Certificate are essential for entering and exiting these alternate dimensions; by infusing them with magic, one can travel to the mages' world.

They trapped orthodox magic in the past, praying for the disappearance of their natural enemies.

[For single use only; mages do not want too many people leaving.]

Is the "natural enemy" referring to "that thing"? What exactly is it that makes all these magicians so afraid?

Jia Paer grasped the Transfer Certificate and poured his already limited magic into it; his figure flickered for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, the scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

The corridor was exactly the same, but this time, it had an end, where two people appeared wearing hoods that looked like they were carved from stone, dressed in robes and carrying staffs. They must be magicians.

What's even more exciting is that there are paths to take on both the left and right sides at the end, so it's not a loop after all!

Does this mean he has finally arrived in a normal area, and what he was just in was merely an ingenious magical trap?

"Ah! Please stop wielding that terrible force field! It's a detestable thing that even the gods would blaspheme!"

A hoarse voice sounded in his ear, and a spirit was lying behind Jia Paer.

He was immediately drawn to the spirit, but the spirit could not communicate and its presence around him only triggered the same repetitive phrase.

This statement contains a lot of information, but Jia Paer is not a scholar, so he is too lazy to analyze it and simply keeps it in mind.

At this moment, the spirit's voice attracted the attention of the mage at the end of the corridor. He instantly flashed into the classroom next door, not yet knowing whether these humanoid mages were enemies or not, so he decided to observe first.

[New student? Come here, let me assign you a tutor]

A lazy voice appeared directly in his mind—a telepathic spell?

He turned around to observe the classroom, which was decorated much the same as before, but now a pointed hat had appeared on the podium.

The wrinkles on the hat formed a human face, staring straight at him, and said:

Don't want a mentor anymore? Planning to become self-taught?

"Who are you.?"

[I am the "Sorting Hat," and I'm in charge of assigning you mentors. Okay, put me on now.]

"What is a mentor?" Jia Paer felt very curious; it had been a long time since anyone had called him a student.

A mentor is a mentor; you will learn and inherit his magic, and even play the role of him.

When this was mentioned, Jia Paer got excited. He was so skilled and daring that he didn't care whether it was a new type of trap or not, and directly put on the "Sorting Hat".

At this moment, the Sorting Hat slowly muttered one name after another.

Logan, Andiel, Sellen, Ranni, Radahn.

[Frieren, Ainz Ooal Gown, Sakura Kinomoto, Aoko Aozaki]

As he read out one name after another, Jia Paer's clenched palms became a little sweaty; he actually felt nervous at that moment.

It felt like I was back in my childhood, being chosen by the sword instructor.

Aha, I've found the perfect mentor for you!

He instinctively sat up straight.

Your mentor is Gandalf!
