However, Bell Was Hard to Kill

Regarding the Han Dan's continued refusal to take the blame, Shopkeeper Wang said... he doesn't have time to deal with it right now.

"Run!"

Shopkeeper Wang roared and tried to run away, covering his head.

Then Bell grabbed him.

"It's too late."

The Wand slipped from his sleeve. Bell raised the Wand above his head and swung it to the right, diverting a bolt of lightning that was about to strike him to the side.

Boom!

Looking at the huge crater that had been cleaved in the ground, Shopkeeper Wang dared not move.

A businessman believes in making money through harmony, and he hadn't fought anyone in decades. Without Bell's protection, he wasn't even confident he could withstand a single bolt of Lightning.

"Tell me about ' Thunderclap '."

While guiding the incoming lightning, Bell asked Shopkeeper Wang a question.

Most of the attacks that affected the group were blocked by Bell's parents and Zhao Youde. Little Shanna, knowing she had caused trouble, also actively helped.

(Shanna: "Daddy, Mommy, don't block out all the Lightning! Let me play with it too!")

Ahem, Bell actually understands. Her younger sister noticed the atmosphere was a bit too tense, so she deliberately tried to help everyone relax.

Whether others believe it or not, Bear Bell believed it!

"Thunderclap is the most powerful lightning-based spell, on par with ' Skyfall Curse.' Thunderclap is a group attack, while Skyfall Curse is a single-target attack."

Shopkeeper Wang said anxiously.

"The most powerful lightning spell?"

Bell wrote this to himself.

Although Shopkeeper Wang's introduction contained no substantial information and offered no help in addressing the current situation, the phrase "top-tier" was enough to reveal a great deal.

Feeling the sealed-off space around him, Bell abandoned his plan to take his family away from the Curses's influence.

"Given the current situation, do you have any good suggestions?"

When faced with something he didn't understand, Bell generally wouldn't make a judgment on his own. So he consulted the most knowledgeable person there Shopkeeper Wang.

If the other party has a way to solve the current problem without having to put in any effort, then wouldn't that save them the trouble?

Although, judging from Shopkeeper Wang's previous behavior, Bell felt that the possibility was extremely slim, asking was free, so why not?

"No! We're doomed!"

Shopkeeper Wang decisively dispelled Bell's unrealistic idea.

"Damn it, if I find out who put the Thunderclap Talisman into the box of basic Talisman, I'll haunt them even as a ghost!"

Shopkeeper Wang wailed.

"Manager, you personally organized all the boxes for storing goods. You previously said you didn't trust those workers, and that they were not only clumsy but also often dishonest."

The Han Dan calmly dismantled the stage.

He was the most composed among them.

"Shut up! Or you won't get dinner tonight!"

Shopkeeper Wang was furious! He really wanted to kick that Han Dan to death.

However, the thought that he probably wouldn't get to eat tonight, and might never have to worry about food again, filled Shopkeeper Wang with sorrow. If he weren't still concerned about saving face, he would have wanted to sit down and cry his heart out.

"Shanna, can you control the thunderclouds in the sky?"

Bell looked at her younger sister.

"No, Gege!"

The little girl did her best to fend off the relentless lightning strikes, managing to spare a tiny bit of time to answer her Gege's question.

(Shanna: "Haha~! This is so much fun!")

"..."

"It's useless."

Shopkeeper Wang continued to speak negatively.

"One of the biggest drawbacks of Talisman is that if the Talisman is not made by the user themselves, then the user cannot control the Talisman. This is because the spiritual power within the Talisman belongs to someone else, not oneself."

"Don't be so pessimistic, bro. Think of it this way: at least because no one's controlling it, a lot of the lightning strikes in uninhabited places, so the pressure we're facing is much less, right?"

Bell comforted him.

"Bell! Stop talking nonsense! Come and help!"

Elena couldn't help but roar out in anger.

The situation on the front lines is extremely precarious. What's the point of that brat Bell talking to that weakling? Instead of coming to help, he's just spouting sarcastic remarks!

"Less pressure? Didn't you see his father's eyes were practically glowing red? Bell should hurry up and take his sister back; that would ease their pressure considerably."

While dealing with the intense Lightning, Elena also had to worry about whether her youngest daughter would get hurt. She felt completely exhausted, and two more wrinkles appeared on her face.

"Shanna! Come back here! Go to the back!"

Seeing that Shanna had once again run outside the defensive perimeter they had built in order to catch more Lightning, Elena really wanted to grab her little daughter and spank her hard.

"Um... Shanna, come here quickly."

Hearing her mother's voice sound somewhat exasperated, Bell quickly called her younger sister back.

In fact, Bell wasn't worried about Shanna's safety at all. Although Thunderclap was incredibly powerful, as mentioned before, most of its power was wasted without someone controlling it, so the threat wasn't as great as people imagined.

Although his younger sister couldn't possibly withstand the full force of his Thunderclap attack head-on, she was capable of holding out for a short while and escaping to his side.

Not to mention, Shanna was wearing magical artifacts even more luxurious than Bell's. Even if the little girl did nothing but stand there and let herself be struck by lightning, she could withstand it for quite a while.

Do you really think all the magical gadgets Bell has worked so hard to create over the years are just made of paper?

Upon hearing her Gege's call, even though Shanna hadn't had enough fun yet, as a good sister who listens to her Gege, she immediately returned to Gege side.

"Shanna, use your Transfiguration to help me in a bit."

Bell patted Shanna's head and gave her some instructions.

He could tell that his younger sister hadn't had enough fun yet, so as a loving older Gege, Bell naturally wanted to find something interesting for her to do.

After Shanna happily nodded in agreement, Bell first cast Protego Totalum.

He connected his shield with his parents' shields, relieving some of the pressure on them.

As for Brother Youde, who was exhausted to the point of collapse, Bell didn't pay any attention to him.

Not only is he unfamiliar with the other party's magical fluctuations, but he also has absolutely no chemistry with them. If he were to recklessly connect his Curses with the other party's, he might end up harming them.

So, the defense system he's going to build will cover everyone, so losing this one layer of defense won't be a big deal... probably?

Then, Bell pulled out the bottle containing "Thousand Changes".

Upon opening the bottle, the surging Thousand Changes, under Bell's control, formed a huge silver-white sphere that enveloped them all.

Finally, Bell stomped his foot on the ground.

Amidst the rumbling of the earth, tons of soil tumbled up and covered the surface of the sphere that ' Thousand Changes ' had Transfiguration into.

The soil hardened rapidly, withstanding wave after wave of Lightning. Whenever soil peeled away in one place, new soil would immediately fill the gap.
