Wu Xiaode was blown away and stuck to the wall.

——You have such power even before you take action!

This strength is really terrifying!

Wu Xiaode quietly tried a few times.

He found that he couldn't even lift his hands under this invisible oppression.

Didn’t he replace this heroic spirit?

Why is he so weak?

Or did he die in this battle because he was too weak?

The archmage asked curiously: "Why are you standing still? Open your arcane shield, get down from the wall and fight with me -"

"Let's see which one is faster, your spell or mine!"

The Archmage raised his hand as he spoke.

——Obviously, as soon as Wu Xiaode makes any move, his attack will begin!

This is a normal sparring session!

The competition is who is faster!

Wu Xiaode was a little hesitant.

Suddenly a voice sounded in his ear: "Hello, I am the guy who was suppressed and beaten by His Excellency the Archmage, and I am also possessed by you. Is there any way you can face this situation?"

"Aren't you a mage? Why can't you even stand?" Wu Xiaode couldn't help but ask.

"Because I'm just a swindling parallel importer - I'm just a mid-level mage."

"Frankly speaking, I want to get close to the princess and get more attention and benefits."

"But I didn't expect that the Archmage would fight me directly, so I was killed with the next move."

Sure enough!

"Are you a heroic spirit?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"I am an undead - my obsession persists after my death. My soul was absorbed by this armor and has been attached to it ever since."

"Wait! This armor can allow undead and heroic spirits to inhabit it?" Wu Xiaode asked immediately.

"Otherwise, how do you think we transferred power to your Book of the Dead?" the other party asked.

Yes.

He left the Death Cave because the heroic spirits all took action.

It turns out they have been on this armor all along!

The mage undead sighed: "You were very brave in the Death Cave. None of us undead and heroic spirits can be as brave as you."

"Thank you for the compliment, what should we do now?" Wu Xiaode asked.

The mage heroic spirit sighed again and said: "All the heroic spirits on the armor have died in the devil's cave, and I am an unlucky guy. I died in the palace competition before I even entered."

"You try to solve my dilemma. In short, this is to familiarize you with the operation."

"If you activate this technique in the future, you will directly enter the mirror image of the Death Cave, because everyone died there."

"I see."

Wu Xiaode looked at the Archmage opposite, his mind changed, and he suddenly showed a cold smile.

Even if it was just a trial of the spell, he didn't intend to die so easily.

"What's wrong? Are you ready?"

The Archmage couldn't help but ask.

"What are you preparing for?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Fight! Aren't we competing? Come on!" the Archmage said sternly.

"No, that's not the case. No matter how much you beg me, I won't take action." Wu Xiaode said coldly.

After he finished speaking, he even gritted his teeth and tried his best to hide his hands behind his back.

The Archmage froze on the spot.

The starlight in his hand gradually extinguished, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Don't you want to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess? Why don't you give me a try? Are you looking down on me?"

"That's not true, it's just that I have a belief."

"What?"

"Even if the whole world is going to be destroyed, I will not take action against you." Wu Xiaode stared at the other party with a complicated expression on his face.

The Archmage looked at all the powerful men watching around him.

His hand rose and fell again.

This is no longer a palace competition.

The other party has made it clear that he will not take action, and he has to forcefully release the spell, which is murder!

Maybe once you take action, the other party will be forced to fight by you.

But what if he really doesn't play defense?

It was like killing an unarmed man who refused to resist.

This will damage your reputation.

But think about it differently...

Why didn't he take action?

His complicated expression...could it have something to do with me?

Apart from being merciful when I was young, I don’t seem to have much—

etc!

Could it be that--

he's mine--

"Forget it, let's have a nice chat later."

The Archmage muttered something and waved his hand casually.

The starlight surrounding him gradually extinguished, and all visions disappeared.

Wu Xiaode finally fell off the wall.

——I almost died just now, but luckily I saved my life.

What a blessing.

"Tell me, while everyone is here, tell me why you didn't take action? If you look down on me, then I will definitely make you pay the price." The Archmage said with a little guilt.

Wu Xiaode secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "There's nothing to say. I'll find you later and have a private chat."

The Archmage felt even more guilty.

"Humph, I will go to see Your Majesty first, and we will talk later."

He almost fled from here.

The mage's undead was stunned.

"What's going on...?" he asked Wu Xiaode.

"It's nothing. In fact, I don't know. It's just that I have vowed not to fight to the death. He may have never encountered such a situation, and there will be some associations in his mind. As for what associations, I don't know."

"—Anyway, with so many people watching, it's hard for him to unleash his killing move on someone who doesn't fight back, right?"

The mage's undead soul was silent for a few breaths, then sighed and said, "Why didn't I think of that?"

There was a loud "bang" sound, and three stars appeared above his head.

Lines of small words in ice crystals quickly appeared on the Book of the Dead:

"Congratulations!"

"You have been recognized and appreciated by the undead so-and-so."

"You resolved his fatal situation, which makes him admire him very much."

"Current recognition: Samsung."

"This book has resonated with this mage and will randomly extract valuable things from him."

"You have obtained the mage's 'arcane knowledge' and have begun to have a certain understanding of the magical world."

"Your understanding and thinking skills have improved."
