……

【Option [-]】

[Mage Hand + Energy Chain]

……

Numbers jump on the options.At first, the items were similar, but later, the amount gradually became different.

"……it is good."

Zheng Zhuo confirmed the final result of the option, turned forward suddenly, and rolled back from the shadow under the city wall to the ruins left after the collapse of the arsenal.

Unexpectedly, the enemy would suddenly appear by itself. The kobolds were taken aback for a moment, and then rushed towards them like a tide.

"[Hand of Mage], release!"

Zheng Zhuo stepped on [Mage's Hand] and jumped up.He stepped on the face of the kobold rushing forward and flew up. [Mage's Hand] Created footholds in the air several times, Zheng Zhuo jumped over the dog-headed crowd, and landed on the back of the rhinoceros whose movement range was reduced because the flames subsided slightly behind the dog-headed crowd.

roar!

The rhino was caught in the saddle by Zheng Zhuo!It seemed to sense something wrong with the person on the saddle, and stood upright on its hind legs, vowing to throw Zheng Zhuo off.

"Don't—move—"

[Mage Hand] disappeared, and [Energy Chain] reloaded.

"freed!"

A blue-purple arc-shaped light band "buzzed" out, passed through the mouth of the rhinoceros, bent back, and gathered back to the top of the staff.

With the blessing of the [existence extension] characteristic, Zheng Zhuo can make the energy chain into various shapes.At this moment, Zheng Zhuo is constructing the [Energy Chain] into a ring shape and buckling it into the rhino's mouth!

Roar!
The rhino immediately seemed to have bitten a piece of chewing iron. Under the pain, it went mad again.

You can't be left behind here!Zheng Zhuo tightly held the pommel on the rhino's back with one hand, and the pyroxene staff with the other.The more the rhino struggled, the more his 【Energy Chain】 got into the soft flesh of the rhino's mouth.

The rhino struggled desperately, and Zheng Zhuo also resisted desperately—if he was thrown down here, he would be trampled into a pulp!

Every second feels like a century.Perhaps the rhinoceros consumed too much energy in the flames, but it failed to defeat Zheng Zhuo's persistence after all.Finally, the frantic strength of the rhinoceros began to show fatigue.

Whoosh.

The energy chain was pulled out from the rhino's mouth.

"Come up!"

Zheng Zhuo looked ahead and shouted.

A black shadow jumped out from between the rubble, and climbed onto the rhino's back in twos and threes.It was Zhuang Yusheng who used [Stealth].

"Ha! I didn't expect that [sneaking] this time is easier than before!"

Zhuang Yusheng whistled.

Unlike Zhuang Yusheng who was still in the mood to joke, Zheng Zhuo was sweating profusely and gritted his teeth.

[Energy Chain] lights up again.This time, it's a whip.

"drive!"

[Energy chain] pumped on the rhino.The rhinoceros suffered from pain, and rushed forward with Zheng Zhuo and Zhuang Yusheng on its back.

……

Driven by [Energy Chain], the rhino dashed forward.Along the way, walls were demolished and stabs were pulled out. I don’t know how many kobolds who had no time to dodge were drawn in front of the rhino and were mercilessly knocked away.

Zheng Zhuo firmly grasped the pommel, his experience bar was rising rapidly.The risk paid off, and in the blink of an eye, the wall was within reach.

And high risk doesn't count as success the moment it pays off.

Finally, it depends on the situation of getting off the car.

"Get ready to let go—!"

Zheng Zhuo yelled to overwhelm Zhuang Yusheng's yelling behind him.He faced the wind and canceled the [Energy Chain].

Then, it was replaced by [Hand of Mage].

"freed!"

The Mage Hand appeared behind the rhino!It jerks the rhino's tail—

Roar ah ah ah ah ah!

The rhino braked instantly, and raised its hind legs——

It's now.

Zheng Zhuo let go of his hand.

The subsequent violent impact made Zheng Zhuo and Zhuang Yusheng fly towards the high wall in a parabola.

"[Hand of the Mage]...follow...!"

[Mage's Hand] slapped Zheng Zhuo's chest and abdomen several times, making him almost vomit, but at the same time, it also stopped his falling momentum.In the air, Zheng Zhuo changed from head-on-foot posture back to head-on-foot posture.

"it is good……!"

Zheng Zhuo stepped on the [Mage's Hand] for the last time and jumped forward.He grabbed the protruding front of the sentry tower on the high wall, put his elbows and pyroxene staff on it, and propped up his body——

This time, the top of the pyroxene rod was lit up with a black light.

"[Summon Bat], release!"

At the same time as the bats appeared, the arrows and crossbows of the kobold guards also arrived in front of them.

There were only a few "puff puffs", and the bats disrupted the trajectory of the arrow crossbow.But at the same time, there were still a few arrowheads that sank deeply into Zheng Zhuo's arms and shoulders.

"--hiss--!"

Zheng Zhuo used his last strength to push upwards and climbed into the sentry tower.

In front of him were six panicked kobold soldiers.

Zheng Zhuo rolled to the side and leaned his back against the wooden railing.

Now, he no longer worried that the recoil would make him fly out.

The orange light lit up again.

"[Fireball], release."

The firelight illuminates Zheng Zhuo's twisted faces.

……

bang, bang, bang.

Fireballs lit up on the sentry tower atop the tower.Wood chips splashed, and six kobold guards flew out of the sentry tower in a beautifully scattered manner.

Countless kobolds immediately climbed the ladder from below to the tower, but when they looked up, all they saw was the shadowy face of a mage.

Then, there is oil and fire.

Whoa!
The ladder was burning.The mage's face disappeared behind the guard tower again.

……

"Help me down...yes, right! Hold on there...!"

Squeezing out the last bit of strength and releasing the [Mage's Hand], he successfully helped Zhuang Yusheng out of the predicament of being stuck in the gap in the high wall.

When Zhuang Yusheng also climbed up the sentry tower, Zheng Zhuo had no strength at all.His shirt was stained red with blood, and he was covered with wounds left by the kobold guards when he jumped into the sentry tower, but he had no strength to heal them with 【Healing】.

"... Watch out for the kobolds."

Zheng Zhuo could only pant heavily.This is definitely the most tiring one in the [subconscious world] he has experienced.

He thought he was the mage holding the short staff.But now, he no longer understands his position.

"Okay. Leave it to me!"

Zhuang Yusheng immediately ran to the only ground facility in the sentry tower - the platform crossbow left by the kobolds.

He readily agreed.However, he does not know how to use crossbows.Those huge arrows shot without any aim, they could only interfere with it.

Fortunately, the kobolds were just barking below for a while, and hadn't made any real threatening attacks yet.

Interference is fine.

Zheng Zhuo went with him.He opened the 【Identification Panel】.

……
