Chapter 27: The Cycle of Karma

  Cynthia really flew over, but it wasn't by her own power, or being cast with the levitation spell, but was knocked flying!

  So the only one who can easily knock Cynthia out is Slade, the leader of the Defeated Blood Blade, who has already been poisoned by the poisonous gray beetle.

  Although he was unarmed, the air around Sreloth's body within a radius of about 50 cm was filled with swirling dust and smoke, but due to the pressure of his aura, it formed an invisible, tangible, densely packed thorny egg-shaped clean space.

  "What's with the thorny halo?" Kolenweh, the slave trader, had a drastic change in expression. He had already recognized what was surrounding Sreloth, so he quickly lost his voice again and shouted: "How is this possible! It's clearly just a Silver Rank, how can it possibly open up a Golden Rank-only Class Halo?!"

  The Ring of Law?

  Luo Wei, who had barely recovered from his dizziness and was now clear-headed, noticed this keyword and triggered the "memory" that remained in his body at the right time.

  In the world of Etern, where swords and magic coexist, "Spellcasters" naturally have an overwhelming advantage over "Swordsmen", but this overwhelming advantage is quickly balanced when Swordsmen enter the Golden Tier and comprehend the Class Law Circle.

  The Ring of Laws - as the name suggests, it integrates offense and defense into one entity, similar to the magic of spellcasters, but its essence is not any form of magical power. Instead, it is a precious "Blessing of the World's Laws" obtained by swordsmen through countless arduous training and life-or-death battles, after they have touched upon the world's laws and gained the most primitive understanding.

  Yes, the above is the result of the researchers' studies. Because most sword holders firmly believe that the blessing of the law ring they obtained does not come from the world's laws, but from a certain war god they devoutly believe in.

  All classes with a sword have a tendency to enhance their basic elemental resistance, which can either strengthen the swordsman's own power in battle, or increase the swordsman's recovery speed, or enhance the swordsman's specific elemental resistance, or other strange and wonderful additions.

  In a nutshell, the Ring of Class can greatly enhance magic resistance and combat power for sword holders.

  As the sword holder's power increases, they can even manipulate a part of their own class aura to separate and attach it to someone they choose, allowing that person to also gain buffs!

  As for the ring of thorns...

  The triggered memory of the magician Salo didn't give Rovi any more hints, probably because this kind of law ring magic was something Salo had never seen before when he was alive, or perhaps... he had seen it but didn't bother to remember?

  "Mr. Lovi, think of something quickly! The Ring of Thorns can deflect almost all attacks below Gold rank, now it's up to your magic!"

  No longer daring to continue pretending to be an injured slave trader, he pulled Luo Wei up from the ground with a grunt.

  “SARULAWEIYA”

  Looking at the approaching defeat of Blood Blade leader Slaylord, Rovy didn't say a word and chanted out the incantation to release the Ice Gun Blast, sharp ice guns appeared out of thin air and stabbed Slaylord from all sides.

  Only, the ice spear magic that could easily shatter the flame shield of the fire mage and then kill him, after piercing the sharp thorn ring on the surface of the defeated Blood Blade leader's body, shattered into fragments of ice shards flying everywhere!

  This means that the Thorn Ring is not only able to repel physical attacks below the Gold Tier, but also has sufficient resistance against magical attacks.

  The law of the ring is indeed famous for its name!

  “SARULAWEIYA”

  Luo Wei's eyebrows jumped twice, but he quickly opened his mouth again to recite the incantation, and countless sharp ice spears were born out of thin air and stabbed towards the defeated Blood Blade bandit chief.

  In the hopeful eyes of slave trader Colen, the countless ice spears that collided with the tip of the defeated Blood Blade gang's leader once again only managed to make the thorn ring quiver slightly, and then shattered into pieces like eggs on a rock.

  "You can't escape! You must die!" Slowed steps came the leader of the Blood Blade, Slerrod, with an extremely hateful gaze fixed on Rovi: "You destroyed hope! I will use your head and heart to sacrifice Gondor!"

  "Mr. Lovi, your ice magic isn't working at all! Hurry up and use some undead curses like Rot or something!"

  The slave trader shouted loudly.

  Rovin glanced at the slaver with a sidelong glance and then gave a brief answer that almost made the slaver cry: "No spell materials."

  No ritual materials?

  How is it possible that there's no material for casting spells?

  "This, this has got to be a joke! A lich wizard, even if forced to abandon all other spellcasting materials, would absolutely not fail to secretly retain at least one lifesaving curse-type necromancy, right?!"

  "These common robbers, I'll leave them all to you!"

  Looking at the stunned slave trader, Rovi spat out this phrase and made a move that shocked the slave trader even more. After finishing speaking, Rovi actually - turned around and ran!

  Yes, turn around and run away.

  What prompted Rovy to make this decision was that he found out that the leader of the Defeated Blood Blade, Slrod, who had been quietly approaching him after igniting the Spike Ring, was always maintaining a speed that was only slightly faster than that of an athlete.

  Is this due to the influence of the highly toxic gray beetle venom? Or is it the price of the sharp thorn ring opened by Yu Jie?

  Luo Wei wasn't clear, but he at least clearly knew that if he stayed in the same place, it would be a stupid move that deserved to be killed.

  The law halo is not always available and can only be used for a short period of time - from several minutes to several hours.

  Rovin prayed for the thorn ring of Sreloth, which could only be maintained for a few minutes. If it lasted any longer... With Rovin's dying body condition, the possibility of running over to someone's house was infinitely close to zero.

  So while Rovy turned around and escaped, two people jumped down from the second floor of the Burning Bull Tavern again. Of course, it's not right to say that they were people who jumped down, because what actually jumped down was Rovy's corpse, Talrand, as well as Goodlack, who tightly hugged Felicia with his only remaining right arm.

  The corpses wouldn't jump off the building by themselves, so they were obviously acting on Rovin's orders - Felicia had just saved Rovin, how could he possibly let this child continue to stay in the Burning Bull Inn where she might be burned at any moment?

  Tyrant's body was covered in wounds, his neck had been slashed by a sharp blade and was now only half intact, a dagger was deeply embedded in his chest, and his abdomen had been torn open, with intestines spilling out and dragging on the ground behind him.

  The injuries that would be fatal to a living person were not enough to kill Tyrant, and after jumping from the floor, it grabbed the head of the nearest bandit with a scream and swung it wildly as a weapon, striking in all directions. The quick-witted bandits dodged out of the way, while the slow-witted ones were knocked flying.

  Taking advantage of the chaos created by Tyrant, Gudlak, who was left with only his right arm to tightly hug Felicia, jumped to the rooftop on the other side in just a few bounds and then quickly ran along the rooftop to catch up with Rovie, who had escaped again at the crossroads.

  As Guderak held Felicia and successfully escaped, Ailand let out a low growl like a raging bull and charged straight at the leader of the Defiled Blood gang.

  “SARULAWEIYA”

  In the midst of the incantation, those few bandits who were previously sent by the leader of the Defeated Blood Gang to check if Rovi was dead or not, had just brandished their weapons and made ferocious expressions in an attempt to intercept Rovi. However, they were suddenly turned into various postures of corpses and wounded men by the out-of-nowhere ice spears. For a moment, wails of agony filled the air.

  He picked up a short knife from the ground with one hand, then quickly circled around the pile of ice spears that had killed the bandits and saw Goodlack, who was following his instructions issued through his soul to bring Felicia together, jumping down from the rooftop.

  "Not bad, Goodluck, you're really my lucky charm!"

  Rovin exclaimed as he ran, that even if Goodluck had only one arm left, he would not understand what his master was saying.

  Rovin took over the unconscious Felicia from Goodlack, as Rovin knew he would soon face the final hurdle of escaping Asrat - the Defeated Blood Blade thieves. Since they had silently infiltrated Asrat, it was clear that they must have bribed or occupied the only gate of Asrat.

  If the leader of the Blood Blade bandits, who had just triggered the Spike Ring, had even a little bit of awareness as a bandit leader, he would have left at least one small squad to guard the gate of Asrat.

  So Luo Wei was willing to slow down his escape speed in order to bring Fei Li Xia over.

  But the agile Goodlack quickly disappeared from Rovi's line of sight according to Rovi's instructions.

  At this time, the mad-like Tyrant had successfully caught up to the leader of the Defeated Blood Blade and opened his arms to tightly hug the opponent's outer ring of spikes.
