Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

A sharp whooshing sound rang out, and Luo Xiu, who was standing in the corner, brightened up. He had finally waited for this moment.

From the moment Gane made his move, he had been observing the mushroom monsters standing in the surrounding hall, but they hadn't made a move until now. He guessed that the situation was escalating and about to get out of control, and the mushroom monsters finally made their move.

Luo Xiu lightly touched the ground with his feet, his tall, thin, and withered figure transforming into a phantom, merging into the horde of mushroom monsters rushing towards Gane from all directions.

He had a premonition that Gane knew he would definitely come looking for him later, so he might as well take this opportunity to test Gane's strength.

"Shhhhh-"

Gane looked at the tentacles shooting towards him from all sides, chuckled, and calmly opened his right hand. Layers of dark magic arrays appeared and stacked in his hand.

The next second, the dark magic arrays scattered instantly, like sharp gears, cutting the tentacles into pieces of flesh in a flash.

The bits of flesh that fell to the ground immediately turned into red, thread-like substances that scattered in all directions.

The golden mushroom monsters that used this technique felt pain, their scarlet eyes filled with rage. Instead of retreating, they charged towards Gane even more fiercely.

The next wave of attacks came from the red-clad mushroom monsters charging ahead. Compared to the gold-clad mushroom monsters, these red chubby creatures were better at close combat, but this was obviously less of a threat to Gane.

It was only at this moment that Luo Xiu discovered that all the red-clothed mushroom monsters in the entire fourth area were only at the third tier at most.

"Don't the Red Mushroom Monsters have a fourth tier?" Luo Xiu wondered. Was it because of the species that they couldn't advance to the fourth tier, or were the fourth-tier Red Mushroom Monsters somewhere else?

"Whoosh—swish swish swish—"

The magic circles that had just severed the tentacles continued their momentum, spun in the air, and flew back to slash at the backs of the red-clad mushroom monsters.

The red-clad mushroom monsters made no attempt to dodge, exposing their backs as they charged straight at Gane.

This is to withstand those dark magic arrays and attack Ganai.

Gane sneered, and the magic circle in mid-air suddenly increased its speed, aiming to instantly cut those red-clothed mushroom monsters into pieces.

But soon his eyes narrowed, because he sensed that the magic arrays in mid-air seemed to be encountering some kind of resistance. Some fragments seemed to be hitting the magic arrays with great force, causing the magic arrays that were flying rapidly to stop and deviate.

Without the interference of the magic circle, the red-clothed mushroom monsters successfully reached Gane.

Gane remained calm. Although he didn't know why the magic array had malfunctioned, it was a minor issue for him.

He raised his free hand, and magic surged forth.

"Snap—"

A black collar rose from the necks of all the red-clad mushroom monsters in the vicinity, gradually tightening.

"One, two, three... nine."

Luo Xiu counted a total of nine collars. Judging from Gane's expression, this skill must have consumed a lot of energy; nine might be the limit.

But he had fought these mushroom monsters and knew that Gane had made the wrong choice.

This skill shouldn't be used.

Chapter 170 Sneak attack!

Gane looked at the red-clad mushroom monsters around him, their necks adorned with collars, and smiled coldly.

His hands gradually tightened, and the collars around the necks of the red mushroom monsters also tightened, digging into their flesh.

To his surprise, the red-clothed mushroom monster's movements were not affected in the slightest, and several fists flew towards his face in a blur.

"bass!"

A black circular barrier rose around him, and the huge energy fluctuations instantly sent all the red-clothed mushroom monsters flying.

Luo Xiu saw all of this and silently noted down the black barrier in Gane.

Then, his figure moved like a phantom, blending into the horde of mushroom monsters, flashing to the side of the red-clad mushroom monsters with black collars around their necks. Just as Gane reached out to tighten the collars, he suddenly made his move.

The shards of glass he held shot through the air like bullets from his past life, instantly piercing rows of tiny bloody holes in the necks of the red-clad mushroom monsters.

[Host has slain a Tier 3 Mushroom Monster (Modified), Points +10]

[Host has slain a Tier 3 Mushroom Monster (Modified), Points +10]

……

There were nine mushroom monsters in total. Luo Xiu took down six of them with his attack, earning 60 points. The remaining three were killed by Gane with their necks broken by Gane, perhaps because the attack missed their vital points.

After the mushroom monsters were all strangled, the bloody holes that Luo Xiu had created were covered up by the lacerations, leaving no trace.

Meanwhile, Luo Xiu had already returned to the chaotic ranks of the golden mushroom monsters, without Gane noticing at all.

Gane was furious. He hadn't expected that these unknown things would force him to use his defensive items.

This was undoubtedly a disgrace to him.

As his anger flared, the black cracks in the surrounding air spun faster, spreading with dark, flowing light, and launching indiscriminate attacks on the people and mushroom monsters around him.

"Shuashuashua——"

The fourth-tier golden-clad mushroom monsters suffered less damage from the black cracks, only their movements were slightly hindered. However, the red-clad mushroom monsters fared much worse, with streaks of dark light tearing open their obese bellies, revealing blood-red filaments inside.

The most affected were the casino patrons in the surrounding area. Some were unable to dodge in time and were hit by the black cracks, their bodies being cut in half, leaving blood staining the ground.

A nobleman was trembling as he hid behind a collapsed gambling table in a corner, watching a crack fly toward him.

"Ding--"

A metallic clang rang out as Elijah gripped her staff and clashed it against the crack. The immense force forced her to take a half-step back, but she managed to shatter the crack.

Looking at the trembling nobleman behind her who kept thanking her, Elijah's eyes darkened, and she made up her mind.

"Buzz!"

Above their heads, a massive crimson magic circle suddenly unfolded, radiating an awe-inspiring power that turned the entire fourth area a blood-red hue.

"Rumble--"

A thunderous roar resounded from within the magic array, causing everyone to look up and sense that something terrifying was about to descend.

In the center of the mushroom monster encirclement, Gane had already retracted the black barrier and was manipulating the flying disc magic circle to kill the mushroom monsters that approached him. Noticing the magic circle in the sky, he suddenly raised his head, a solemn look flashing in his eyes.

He never expected that a fourth-tier city-level power could actually harm him.

While lamenting his underestimation of his opponent, he wasn't particularly nervous. Although Elijah's power exceeded his expectations, it was only enough to cause him harm.

Not enough to be afraid of.

He continued to manipulate the flying magic arrays with one hand. Without Luo Xiu's covert interference, these magic arrays cut through the third-tier mushroom monsters as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

In his other hand, dark energy condensed like lightning, and a sharp, spear-shaped energy body emerged, wreathed in dark magic and shimmering.

It looked as if he held a dark bolt of lightning in his hand.

Mage Tier 4 Skill: [Punishment - Dark Thunder]

This skill is a unique skill that he obtained by drawing inspiration from two fourth-tier skills, comprehending them, improving them, incorporating his own divinity, and finally acquiring it.

This skill, like the one Elijah was using at this moment, underwent a transformation after merging with divinity, becoming unique in the world.

Immediately afterwards, dark magic circles rose up on his arms, and his originally well-proportioned arms suddenly bulged, gaining tremendous strength.

"call out--"

He hurled the bolt of lightning formed from dark energy, which, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, tore through everything in front of him. Dark light surged forth as it shot towards Elijah, who was casting a spell.

Luo Xiu, who was among the mushroom monsters, witnessed all of this but did not intervene. He had no good feelings towards Elijah and had no reason to risk exposure by attacking her. Whether she lived or died depended on her methods.

In just a short while, while Gane was slaying the Tier 3 Mushroom Monster, he kept "preemptively attacking" and had already gained a lot of points.

A total of 19 Tier 3 Mushroom Monsters were killed, and a total of 27 Tier 2 Mushroom Monsters were killed.

Killing a Tier 2 monster usually grants 5 points, while the Tier 2 Mushroom Monster (Modified) grants 3 points. Rounding up was something Luo Xiu hadn't expected, so it was a pleasant surprise.

The dark lightning bolt was incredibly fast, tearing through the sky in a matter of moments and striking right in front of Elijah.

Eriga looked at the surging lightning bolt, fear flashing in her eyes.

The dark lightning bolt was too fast. At this moment, the summoned creature in the sky had only just revealed a huge tail fin. She felt the terrifying energy wrapped around the lightning bolt, which destroyed everything in its path, and had a premonition that she could not stop it.

Is it over?

Elijah's pupils trembled, and her hand holding the staff shook.

Gane saw this through the mushroom monsters and a smile crept onto his face.

This is what happens when you go against yourself.

Looking at the lowly people struggling in fear around him, he felt a strange pleasure.

What fifth rank, what Luo Xiu, he will become the de facto leader of this city.

This is just the beginning.

Among the mushroom monsters, Luo Xiu keenly noticed that Gane had been distracted for a moment.

Without any hesitation, he mingled among the golden mushroom monsters and attacked with all his might, punching Gane's shoulder.

Gane was in a daze when he saw several golden mushroom monsters rushing towards him and swinging their thin arms at him. He instinctively manipulated the flying magic circle to defend himself.

He realized that the dark collar was ineffective against these mushroom monsters, so he changed his strategy and chose to increase the amount of magic circle he could manipulate.

"call out--"

An unexpected thing happened: a thin, bony arm swiftly dodged the cutting of the dark magic array and arrived in front of him, about to land on his shoulder.

He immediately activated the Black Barrier, a fifth-tier defensive item. Even though he couldn't unleash its full power at the moment, it was more than enough to withstand the power of a mushroom monster.

However, this tool consumes a lot of resources, and if he didn't want these disgusting "beasts" to come into contact with him, he wouldn't even want to use it.

But his eyes suddenly widened as he looked incredulously at his shoulder.

There, a withered arm clenched into a fist, suddenly accelerated, and fell before the black barrier opened, now embedded in his shoulder bone.

"puff--"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, swayed, and almost fell over.
