In the arena of Neverwinter, amidst the thunderous cheers and cheers from the audience, the cage holding the evil red-robed witch was finally returned to the underground of the arena.

Almost at the same time, the weird magic rope that bound the red-robed witch collapsed in an instant.

Then……

She had already seen Edkin and others as well as the remaining dozen contestants. Seeing that they had already cooperated and gathered around her and took their positions, the red-robed witch suddenly shook her head without even thinking about it.

She took out a cane from somewhere and raised it, and then as she quickly recited a spell, streams of magical energy surged out of her hand and quickly enveloped her whole body.

Then, as a shock wave suddenly spread and exploded in all directions, and the air flow blew away some players who were too close, her eyes began to lock on the two members of the 'Rogue' team.

It's Simon, who is also a spellcaster, and the druid Doric.

She saw that the two people were standing together, covered by the barbarian and a ranger, and seemed to be preparing to launch some kind of magic attack on her?

"Sofina!"

"I didn't expect you to come here..."

"What happened up there?"

"Where's Fudge?"

"Did he abandon you?"

At this time, Edkin spoke.

Although he still didn't know what happened just now, he was cunning and squeezed the other party as soon as he opened his mouth and tried his best to alienate the relationship between the other party and Fudge, as if he wanted to get rid of the other party before the fight started.

Mouth to get some necessary information?

Of course, while he was crowding and fighting, Edkin also secretly directed his team members and other players to slowly approach the opponent from all directions in order to get into an optimal attack distance.

"You stupid mortals!"

"You want to use these dirty tricks to deal with a mage like me?"

"Don't be stupid!"

It's a pity that Sofina didn't even bother to answer Edkin's question.

"I will kill you and make those people look good!"

"I will escape!"

"The great master will not let them go!!"

Moreover, she seemed to have seen Edkin's little movements, the players around and behind her who were slowly approaching, and the ranger in front who drew his bow and aimed at her, so while laughing loudly, she also began to slowly brew

Use a certain spell.

"oh?"

"they?"

However, Edkin still learned some important information that he considered very valuable from Sofina's words.

"Who are they?"

"Who else but a little girl?"

Because at the beginning of the game, he had heard that guy Fudge introduce Annie, and now, in view of the failure of the terrible 'Scarlet Death' spell just now and the red-robed witch being captured and thrown into the arena, he

There is reason to believe that Anne must have been involved.

After all, he and his friends all know and have seen that Tibbers, Anne's little bear, even beat the giant dragon Hibberchard to his knees and surrendered, and this mere red-robed witch in front of him must be no problem either.

, there is no doubt about that.

Therefore, since the plot of the evil red-robed witch Sofina failed and was caught and thrown into the arena for the entertainment of the audience, Edkin has reason to believe that something must have happened in the VIP room.

What.

However, what exactly did Anne do in the meantime, what role did she play, and the current whereabouts of the abominable Fudge. Was he still caught in the VIP room, or had he escaped by boat?

, he remains unknown for the time being.

As for the above doubts, if possible, he really wanted to know them from the other party.

"Sofina!"

"What just bound you must be a very clever forbidden magic. There must be a very clever archmage above the VIP room, right?"

"who is he?"

At this time, Warlock Simon also asked curiously.

After all, to be able to restrain a red-robed witch and make her come here to participate in the gladiatorial battle, he felt that she must be at least an archmage-level existence. Otherwise, if she wants to easily subdue someone like Sofina,

It's really not easy for a witch.

At least Simon can't do it now, and he certainly won't be able to do it for a long time in the future!

"Stop your stupid trivia game!"

"mortal!"

"Your doom has come!"

Unfortunately, and I don’t know why, Sofina, who looked as haggard as a dead person at this time, and was actually a dead person, had an extremely irritable temper. She didn’t want to answer Edkin or Simon’s questions at all, and just waved her hands violently.

Cane, and then released a fireball into the sky.

"!!"

"!?"

"What does she want?"

"Is this trying to break the magic shield of the arena?"

"have no idea……"

Seeing the red robe witch suddenly attacking and casting spells, the players, including Edkin and Holgai, were startled and prepared to evade.

But when they discovered that the other party had just thrown a fireball into the sky, their original vigilance turned into confusion, and they couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.

"!!"

However, fortunately, there was someone at the scene who knew the goods, and that person turned out to be Simon!

No matter how you say it, no matter how much Simon's strength has improved after being synchronized with the Lawbreaker Helmet, in the final analysis, he is from a family background and has an ancestor named 'Elminster Omar'

, therefore, his knowledge and knowledge are of course more reliable than those of ordinary wild mages, such as the contestant mage who is looking up at the sky in confusion at this time.

"not good!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

Therefore, knowing that something was wrong, he shouted directly, and immediately set up an arc-shaped magic shield for him and Doric beside him, directly wrapping him and Doric.

However, he couldn't care about other people for the time being. After all, his abilities were limited.

boom!!

The next moment, as expected!

As soon as Simon finished speaking, the big fireball suddenly exploded in the air, and then, while the flames were shooting out, it turned into dozens of fireballs like meteors and continued towards the entire competition.

The field was covered and bombarded indiscriminately?

"!!"

"damn it!"

"careful!"

"Everyone, run!"

"Danger!"

"Wow!!!"

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, the audience only saw countless sparks exploding on the ground of the arena.

Then, amid the fire, thick smoke, and debris flying everywhere, at least half of the dozen or so contestants were caught off guard, and at least half of them were blown away, killed or injured, and almost half of them who were intact could be counted on one hand.

come over.

Just like that, the plan and hunting formation that Edkin had just managed to organize and prepare to round up the red-robed witch came to nothing in an instant.

It can also be seen from this that what Holgay and Simon usually say is indeed correct. Edkin is a failed planner. He has planned countless plans, including the previous 'Plan A' and 'B'.

Plans', it seems, all ended in failure?
