Due to the fireballs being too fast, they didn't even have time to react. Often, just as they raised their shields to defend against the fireball attack and were preparing to chant a spell for a counterattack, a second and third fireball would follow closely behind, shattering the shield. They could only keep raising their shields, with no time to retaliate.
At the same time, under Daniel's command, Bear Big roared and charged forward, launching a frenzied attack on the person to the right of the leader. The massive bear paws slammed against the shield, causing it to crack loudly and develop numerous fissures.
The opponent turned pale with fear, but before he could channel magic to reinforce the shield, a fireball flew in and struck the shield directly. With a loud pop, the shield shattered.
Before the opponent could even utter a sound, he was turned into pulp by Bear Big in a state of panic.
Taking advantage of this moment, Daniel quickly moved forward, slipping through the gap in their defenses and fleeing into the distance.
At the same time, he didn't forget to cast a spell to grab Bear Big and fly away rapidly.
Daniel's series of powerful attacks had already frightened several people; they waited for him to disappear without daring to pursue him even a step.
The leader's face was dark; he admitted that he had underestimated Daniel. He hadn't expected that such a lowly Second-Level Apprentice could unleash such an offensive.
The others also did not suggest pursuing him. In such a short time, three out of seven had been killed by Daniel.
Such strength had already terrified them. Even though they knew Daniel couldn't maintain such an offensive for long, they didn't dare to chase after him.
After a long while, the leader finally said, "Send a message reporting today's events up the chain. Increase the bounty; we must not let him return to the surface."
Hearing that there was no need to pursue, the others exchanged glances, all feeling a sense of relief.
It wasn't until they escaped from their line of sight that Daniel finally sighed in relief. "Professor's Barrage Fireball," while its explosive speed was indeed fast, it consumed a lot of energy. In just this short amount of time, most of his magical power had already been depleted. If he continued like this, it would be Daniel who ended up in trouble.
Using Eagle Eye Technique, summoning Explorer Spider, and employing Hunting Nose Technique among several other methods to observe behind him, seeing that they were not pursuing anymore, Daniel relaxed.
He pondered how they had discovered him; it was likely due to just a few methods.
Due to regional influences, everyone's lifestyle habits are different. Even if one tries to conceal them, if someone wants to investigate, they can uncover the issues.
However, they probably did not use this method; since they had no contact with the other party, how could they know their secrets?
Another possibility is through scent. The ground exposed to sunlight is very different from glowing moss. It is also possible that specialized divination magic has been developed. Daniel believes this is the most likely scenario.
Moreover, through chip tracking, Daniel discovered that there are indeed records of such things.
With that in mind, Daniel smiled lightly, wiped his face, revealing his true appearance. At the same time, he continuously cast spells to eliminate his own traces and scent to prevent being tracked by others, then swaggered down the street.
As for Bear Big, he was temporarily placed in a forest waiting for an opportunity. With his help to conceal himself, it would be difficult for others to find Bear Big's traces.
Using the Eagle Eye Technique, Daniel found a human city several dozen miles ahead. It was clear that the few who ambushed him had come from there.
Quietly entering the city, Daniel found a wealthy merchant and directly took two pieces of clothing from his home to wear. He also grabbed a bag of valuable gold coins before swaggering into a bar near the city gate.
"Sir, please come in. What do you need?"
Daniel glanced at Squire and arrogantly said, "Just get me something to eat. The rest is your tip."
With that, Daniel tossed four gold coins onto the table. Such a generous act not only made Squire's eyes light up as he bowed respectfully but also attracted the attention of others drinking there.
If it weren't for Daniel choosing the best bar with high-end clientele, which was far from ordinary mercenaries, someone would have approached him to extort money long ago.
"Sir, here are the items you requested. Do you need any other services?"
Soon, a girl dressed in Bunny Girl attire approached with items and enthusiastically placed them on the table. As she moved, she revealed a deep cleavage and threw him a flirtatious glance while speaking, her intentions very clear.
Daniel took a deep look at those two quivering spheres as she moved, indulging his eyes before saying, "No need; let me be alone for a while."
Bunny Girl left in disappointment. Daniel exuded an aura that discouraged others from approaching, coldly savoring the delicacies of Underworld.
He ignored the provocative gazes around him and quietly waited.
The bar's curtain was lifted, releasing a chill into the air as four clearly enraged individuals entered the bar.
Upon seeing the four, the patrons inside turned pale. Although the four did not utter a word, many guests quietly left. Not for any other reason, but because the four were wearing Wizard Gray Robe, identifying them as four Wizard Apprentices.
These individuals were among the seven who had attacked Daniel in the Passage. Of course, the remaining three had already been killed by Daniel.
The appearance of these four even startled the bar owner, an elderly man in his sixties with luxurious clothing and graying hair. He quickly approached and bowed, saying, "Gentlemen, what brings you here? Is there anything you need?"
He nearly bent down to the ground. To run a bar at the city gate, especially a high-end one, one must have a powerful backing. His son was a Second-Level Wizard Apprentice. At over forty years old, becoming a Second-Level Wizard Apprentice was quite an achievement.
However, Arnold was a Third-Level Apprentice and also the apprentice leader of Vita City, making his status incomparable to that of his son.
Noticing the scorched robes and grim expressions on their faces, he understood they were in a bad mood and likely faced some trouble; how could he not treat them with respect?
Yet Arnold ignored him, waved him away, and turned to lead his companions over to Daniel. "You seem unfamiliar; may I ask where you're from?"
Daniel smiled slightly and raised his glass in acknowledgment. The reason he came to this bar was precisely to wait for them.
Calculating that the probability of these four passing through this city gate was over 90%, combined with his unrestrained aura as a clear Second-Level Apprentice, it would be strange if they didn’t come looking for him.
"My name is Daniel, a Wizard Apprentice from the distant Saxkebin Empire. It's a pleasure to meet you all. May I ask your names?"
Arnold first took out a Silver Plate for detection and glanced at it. Seeing no reaction from it, his expression darkened as he said harshly, "You can call me Arnold. How did you end up here?"
"I am a wandering Wizard Apprentice, traveling around with no fixed abode."
If it were in the past, Arnold might have believed it and not sought trouble with Daniel. But today, he had just been tricked by Daniel, losing three out of six of his subordinates, leaving him feeling quite frustrated. Upon seeing Daniel, an outsider, he wanted to vent his anger on him.
"Is that true? Then I want to test you. How many places have you traveled to?"
"Well, quite a few. I've been to Bejaia Empire, Balchik Empire, Lagus Empire, and Fokston Empire. I wonder if you've heard of them."
"I've only heard of Balchik; it's said to be an empire far away, primarily inhabited by Dark Elves."
"Yes, just thinking about Dark Elves makes my mouth water. Their lifestyle is very open; they all wear very little... By the way, have you heard of the Columbian Empire? There's a huge Magic Stone Mine called Tonneshalang Mine there, but unfortunately, it has long been exhausted. I once went to see that massive pit; it almost reaches the next layer of the Underworld."
"Columbian Empire? Of course, I've heard of it; it's over twenty thousand kilometers from here."
"Really? Then we should have a good chat."
He immediately started discussing the Underworld with Daniel but was surprised to find that Daniel was very knowledgeable about it, knowing many things he had never heard of.
How could this be possible? After all, he was a Third-Level Wizard Apprentice and had access to much more knowledge than a Second-Level Apprentice. Daniel was also a traveling Wizard Apprentice without any particularly good heritage.
He was discussing relatively advanced knowledge; how could he possibly know? Unless the other party had indeed traveled extensively in the Underworld and had extraordinary experiences.
