Chapter 120: Episode 39 Family_3

"Hmm, I don’t know if you’re truly obedient or just overly clever, or maybe it’s thanks to someone’s guidance." As she said this, the false anger that had just erupted from Matron Batana vanished without a trace. She glanced at Zilvra standing behind her. The pale-skinned Dark Elf continued to gaze coldly at the mage standing at the foot of the steps, without a hint of change.

"Then, mage, you may leave." The matron waved her hand, as if gently brushing away a wisp of smoke lingering in front of her or shooing away a small bug.

"Zilvra, you stay..."

Lynch walked out of the audience room alone, slowly making his way through the massive castle of the Dark Elf Family. The houses of the Dark Elf Family never have stairs between floors; all the nobles use the Floating Technique, so they come and go by floating directly. This design also somewhat reduces the possibility of nobles being disturbed by commoners. Moreover, during battles, it prevents large numbers of goblins or ogres from attacking the higher-level buildings.

However, this caused considerable trouble for Lynch. Although he could also use the Floating Technique or more advanced flight spells, the intricate three-dimensional structure of the house was like a huge maze, making him, a newcomer used to rooms arranged on a flat plane, completely disoriented.

Nevertheless, he could still discern which way was up and which was down. Thus, he adhered to the idea that the closer to the ground, the closer to the exit, and floated downward all the way.

A series of terrible screams entered his ears, the kind of painful wails as if someone had undergone severe torture, having their muscles torn piece by piece. The sound abruptly stopped, as if suddenly cut off; however, suddenly, even sharper and more painful screams started up again.

"Truly cruel, using saltwater or chili water to wake them up even if they faint from pain." Although Lynch was not an executioner and had no experience in torturing prisoners, he had acquired some knowledge in this area through extensive reading. From the intermittent screams, he could infer the general situation.

"I must have gone the wrong way." When Lynch first entered, he was accompanied by Zilvra, but he didn’t recall passing through such a horrifying place. He turned to leave, only to hear the sound of a wooden door opening and quiet footsteps behind him.

The Eye of Insight noticed the attack from behind in an instant. A hand swiftly cut through the air, striking towards the back of his head. This person was definitely well-versed in assassination, as such a fierce attack didn’t even make the slightest sound.

If not for his omnidirectional vision, he wouldn’t have detected such an attack. In such a short moment, it was impossible to cast any advanced magic, not even enough time to utter a spell. Only spells that are always attached inside the mage’s body and activate under specific conditions could be cast.

Thus, Lynch’s form instantly became blurred, turning transparent and gradually disappeared. This was the Phantom Spirit Body Spell he had prepared. It allows the person affected by this spell to become ghost-like and evade attacks from the physical world.

However, before the spell fully took effect, the hand struck Lynch’s back—due to the effect of the Phantom Spirit Body, causing the attacker’s sight to be distorted, the strike ultimately missed the vital point.

Lynch suddenly broke out of his spiritual body state, staggered forward three steps, and spat out a mouthful of blood. The part of his back that had been hit no longer felt anything, but the area surrounding the strike burned with a fiery pain, a stinging sensation like a thousand tiny needles relentlessly poking at vulnerable internal organs.

"Still conscious? Good!" The assailant behind him shouted excitedly while charging forward quickly.

Lynch was still facing away from him, but he could still completely understand the other’s movements.

The mage gripped the Magic Wand tightly...

-------------------

Note: The monster here is an Eye Demon, resembling a large, round balloon, floating gently in the air. It has numerous stalks on its body, each ending in an eye. Each of these eyes can shoot rays of various properties, ranging from freezing to petrification. There’s a massive central eye on its balloon body that sees within a 120-foot (about 40 meters) cone, forming an absolute anti-magic area.

This monster has a specially registered name with TSR Company, so I’d rather not use this "Eye Demon" name to avoid trouble...

PS:

Additionally, a reader asked me about the weight issue of the refined gold arm. Here’s the explanation: The refined gold arm isn’t just a block of metal, hanging heavily from the shoulder. It can move according to the user’s will—otherwise, why hang a weight there, sinking and unable to float up if it falls into water? Because it carries a certain amount of energy (not fully developed yet), it can bear some weight for the mage, without making the mage rely entirely on their own muscles. Lynch just feels that the arm is somewhat heavy, but he will gradually get used to that weight because this heaviness isn’t the arm’s absolute net weight—but not everyone is as fortunate. In short, this is a magic world; if human mages can transform into Witch Demons like skeletons while increasing in charm, what else is impossible...

PS again:

Happy Labor Day to everyone, spend more time with your parents and loved ones. Even if you can’t go home, make a call to send greetings...

I’m not only without a holiday but also 8000 kilometers away from home, so miserable! Use your recommendation votes to comfort me...

The new week has begun, another round of click battles has started. If you think the book is good, please recommend it to your friends, click more, and follow the further development of this book. Here, I especially thank your tirelessly working index fingers and hard-working left mouse buttons (even adding my page-turning wheel—a voice suddenly pops into my head), and on behalf of the book, the author, and Lynch, I extend my greetings to them and their owners...
