Chapter 3

The Lightning Ball was not only effective, but more importantly, it had the ability to paralyze. 

The lethality of basic spells was not particularly strong. At this time, the paralyzing effect of lightning spells increased the chances of being advantageous in a battle.

Su Chen did not hesitate and activated the Lightning Ball with his mind. The information of the mysterious spell appeared in his mind.

He realized that he did not need to chant the spell on his own like the other mages did to guide the spell.

He felt that as long as he chanted the name of the Lightning Ball, the spell would automatically appear in his mind and he would be ready to cast it. With just a thought, it would fly towards the direction his mind had set. However, it was not easy to test it now.

‘I should unlock another recovery spell.’

Su Chen thought to himself.

The militia and guards in the town were all injured, including the six elite guards protecting him. All of them were only treated with simple bandages. The priests in the town could only do simple bandages and blessing spells, which only slightly increased the recovery ability of the injured.

After a few battles, the death rate of the injured became higher and higher, and the combat strength that they had left was getting weaker and weaker.

He then chose to activate the first spell of the wood element spell tree, [ Healing spell ]

Some of the skills in the wood element could also be classified as life magic. For example, this low-level healing spell was to inject a ball of life force with healing attributes into a human body, helping to recover the injuries.

“Healing Spell!”

After Su Chen activated the skill, he immediately chanted in his heart and cast it on himself.

A flow of fresh energy flowed through his body.

In an instant, the wound on the back of his head had become slightly itchy. Su Chen knew that this was a sign that the wound had healed. This energy had also injected some vitality into his exhausted body. Even his spirit felt excited.

After casting a healing spell, Su Chen did not feel the emptiness of the loss of his spiritual power. After carefully sensing it, Su Chen realized that the spiritual power he had consumed came from the vast blue ocean in his sea of consciousness.

Is this all my spiritual power?

Su Chen was greatly shocked. Although he did not know the exact amount of spiritual power of the wizards of different levels, this vast sea of spiritual power gave him a feeling that he could use it indefinitely.

“Lord Mayor, we are here. This is the place.”

The leading guard stopped in front of a stone wall.

There were already more than ten militia standing guard here, and the residents of the nearby housing area had been evacuated. On both sides of the street, rows of giant shields and spears were erected.

Some of the militia members lit the self-made molotov cocktails and threw them out of the wall.

From within the wall, one could clearly hear the sounds of howling outside the stone wall and the continuous sounds of the stone wall being torn apart.

“Mayor, the outer perimeter of the stone wall is already very thin. They’re going to break in soon.”

A veteran of the elite guard team said to Su Chen with a heavy expression.

Su Chen nodded slightly. “Let’s take a rest and prepare for the next battle.”

The guards immediately sat on the ground with Su Chen, constantly massaging their stiff shoulders and arms.

“I have some healing magic here. I’ll let you guys see if they work.”

Su Chen looked at the exhausted guards and raised his hand to cast a healing spell on each of them.

The six guards who were escorting Su Chen had been on alert for several days. Apart from the wounds on their bodies, they were also physically and mentally exhausted.

Rays of light green light flowed into their bodies along with a cool aura of life. They quickly healed the small wounds, and the heavier wounds began to heal slowly.

The six of them felt their spirits shake. The fatigue and pain in their bodies gradually receded with the baptism of the green light, and the tired muscles also gained new strength.

“This… This is! A healing spell!?”

The eyes of the veteran who had been healed lit up, and he looked at his companions with an incredulous expression. The six of them saw each other’s shocked expressions in each other’s eyes.

In this small town, only the Karev family had basic water magic. He could already strut around in the small town and completely disregard the mayor.

The head of the family, Owen Karev, had also trained a group of knights. The family was wealthy and had good weapons, so they relied on their military strength and were stronger than the militia and the guards. They took advantage of the monster attacks to collect “security money” from the residents of the town.

In order to borrow their strength to protect the safety of the town, the previous mayor also turned a blind eye. It was truly a helpless situation. The abominable thing was that after Owen’s men received the money, they did not put in any effort. Every time they attacked, they would hide in the back. They sent the militia and the guards to their deaths.

After experiencing several attacks, the town no longer had the money to pay for the Karev family to send troops. Owen did not care about the lives of the townspeople. Without money, he could not expect them to protect him. The town’s guards and militia were extremely resentful of the Karev family.

Thinking of this, the guards knew the importance of having a magician.

“Mayor, have you become a magician?!” The guards were agitated and grabbed Su Chen’s arm. There was some hope in their eyes, but they were afraid that their judgment was wrong.

“Yes, my arm is starting to hurt.

“After I fainted yesterday, I found that I could easily sense the fluctuations of magic. There are also some elementary magic books in the town.”

Su Chen answered with a smile. He stood up and looked at the militia around him. “There are people who are seriously injured now. Come to my place and line up. I will help you recover.”

The militia around them had long noticed the process of their young new mayor casting the healing spell. They were pleasantly surprised

They were also a little worried about whether the mayor’s mental strength could support casting the healing spell so many times. Even if it was the lowest level healing spell, a beginner-level mage could only cast it a few times. The number of people that could be saved was limited, therefore, under normal circumstances, they would only save the strong.

“Mayor, our injuries are not serious. You should leave your spiritual power to the elite veterans of the guards.”

“Yes, sir. Their combat power is much stronger than ours. Even if we are not injured, our effect is limited.”

A few of the militia leaders said to Su Chen.

“You don’t have to worry. I have a special method.” Su Chen casually answered the militiaman’s question. “But I can only treat the people who are seriously injured first.” It would be suspicious to reveal he had unlimited magic power. He did not want to be sent by the Mage Association to be dissected for research, so he had to try his best to hide this ability.

As they talked, Su Chen silently chanted, ‘Healing spell!’ In his heart, and he healed one heavily injured militia after another.

“The wall is broken! Be alert!”

At this moment, the militia who had been paying attention to the stone wall let out a cry of alarm.

Everyone’s attention was instantly attracted. They all looked at the stone wall. The rats’ huge claws had already dug a big hole in the stone wall. They reached in and grabbed at it desperately, trying to widen the hole and get in.

The militiamen inside the wall were holding long spears and stabbing fiercely at the claws of the scarlet giant rat. However, they could not cause much damage. When facing demonized creatures, ordinary weapons could only attack their vital points.

“Brothers! Warriors, it’s time for us to fight!”
