#369 - Yan Ren! (asking for monthly ticket recommendation)

"Oh? So joining you guys is all benefits and no obligations?" Anduin was now increasingly curious about this Silver Spear, but what he valued most were the various precious materials and information it held.

"Of course not. How could you ask such a naive question?" Thunderbird shook his head dismissively upon hearing this. "However, compared to the benefits you'll receive, those obligations will be incredibly easy for you."

"Within the club, as long as you sign a confidentiality agreement and regularly complete assigned tasks, you can earn merits that can be exchanged for information or materials. Moreover, the more you work, the more you get. You earn your status and enhance your strength based on your abilities. I see that you've reached such heights at a young age, so you probably wouldn't want to be confined to this small, isolated island."

"We never reject ambitious powerhouses, and we excel at discovering and nurturing them. You're different from those useless wastes. Hanging out with them for too long will only make you gradually become ordinary. Only we can let you see a wider world!"

Thunderbird said this with great enthusiasm, even spreading his arms towards Anduin, striking a posture of welcoming him with open arms.

"Oh?" Anduin raised his eyebrows in surprise. It seemed this guy really thought highly of him. However, this bastard who dared to set fire to his home was someone he only wanted to send to see Merlin right now.

"You guys, who sneak around with your tails between your legs every day, like rats crossing the street in various countries, have the nerve to call yourselves powerhouses? It seems the title of powerhouse is really cheap for you."

Listening to Anduin's cold mockery, devoid of any respect, Thunderbird's expression gradually turned gloomy. At this point, he realized that Anduin had no sincerity at all and was just stringing him along, even just stalling for time.

"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! You're courting death!" Thunderbird, realizing that he had been played by a kid for so long, was instantly enraged, and the magic power within him surged.

"Fiendfyre! Scorching Arrow!"

Thunderbird waved his wand violently, and a giant arrow made of viscous Fiendfyre formed at the tip of his wand, then sped towards Anduin with a blazing tail of fire.

"Ravenbolt! Resonance Pulse!"

Anduin had been secretly accumulating magic power for a while, and now he released it. He pointed his wand forward, and the lightning magic power condensed at the tip of his wand immediately transformed into dozens upon hundreds of ravens.

This was similar to the [Ravenbolt] he had developed earlier using 'Avis', but it was a secondarily improved spell. These ravens that gradually flew out were different from the previous black ravens. They were covered in azure feathers and had silver light in their eyes.

At the same time, they were also howling, but the sounds they made were different. Each cry was a resonant sonic boom enhanced by the [Subsonic Wave Charm], just like those annoying diricawls.

As soon as these thunder ravens appeared, some of them went straight for the 'Fiendfyre Arrow', while the rest split into two teams, one rushing towards Thunderbird and the other scattering, heading towards the surrounding pine trees covered in snow.

The thunder ravens that pounced on the pine trees howled to their heart's content, shaking off the snow accumulated on these trees. The constantly falling and flying snowflakes tried to block the view of the two people present, but more than that, they added a bit of bleak atmosphere to the battle.

At the center of the battlefield.

The thunder ravens that faced the 'Fiendfyre Arrow' were no match at all after the collision. The arrow instantly pierced through the bodies of several ravens, but fortunately, there were many of these ravens, and they were also made of [Wild Lightning] with a quality no less than [Fiendfyre]. Therefore, under the continuous suicide attacks, they completely annihilated the arrow.

Seeing these thunder ravens rushing towards him, Thunderbird just smiled contemptuously. He gently flicked his wand and blasted out a wide-range [Scatterblast], and these magic bullets, like precision-guided missiles, shot at each thunder raven, each one fast and urgent, instantly piercing through several flying ravens, preventing these thunder ravens from even having the chance to use [Resonance Pulse] to affect Thunderbird.

However, among these thunder ravens, some of them exploded before the magic bullets could attack them, some of them blooming with dazzling light, and some of them emitting a black magic wave.

It turned out that when Anduin cast Ravenbolt, he secretly hid some [Flash Charms] and [Darkness Charms] in the thunder ravens' bodies. He knew that directly throwing these charms would not have a chance to hit the opponent at all.

He had no choice but to try such a method. It would be best if he could trick the opponent, but it didn't matter if it didn't work.

At this time, Thunderbird seemed to be really affected by the effects of these charms, and he just stood there blankly.

Seeing this, Anduin didn't know if the charms had worked, but he didn't hesitate at all and fired two [Sectumsempra] and [Cluster Bolt] spells.

However, just as these four spells were about to hit Thunderbird, he heard him shout.

"Fiendfyre! Hellblade!"

Then Thunderbird swung his wand in a wide horizontal arc, and his wand was like a blade drawn from its sheath, horizontally drawing out a giant blade of flame made entirely of Fiendfyre, and using the sweep of the unsheathing, he instantly disintegrated these spells.

"Kid… you have completely angered me!"

Thunderbird pointed the right hand holding the Hellblade diagonally at the ground, then raised his left hand to his face, and then he directly pulled off the mask on his face, revealing his face full of anger. He had already revealed his appearance to Anduin once before, so there was no psychological burden to take off the mask at this time.

The reason he did this was more to let the other party experience his true anger at this time.

"How many years has it been? No one has ever dared to use these garbage in a duel with me. This is not only an insult to me, but also an insult to the duel. Or do you think you can rely on this mere [Endless Darkness] to disintegrate a duelist's will?"

"Garbage is garbage. It seems I was wrong from the beginning. How could someone who relies on these external objects in a duel inherit the will of the 'Silver Spear'?"

"Kid, next I'll let you see the fury of a duelist! Die!"

Thunderbird roared, raising the huge fire sword made of Fiendfyre high, then gripping it with both hands and slashing down hard.

The giant blade made of viscous Fiendfyre slammed towards Anduin with unparalleled pressure. The fire blade split the air, the snow, and even the earth, instantly boiling them when the scorching blade came into contact with these three.

And on that lava-like blade, you could even see the ghostly faces hidden within, constantly howling.
