Because it took too much time to get lost, it was almost dark when Oz arrived at Hewan Village.

The huge waterwheel by the river and the stone-paved roads extend to the small square in front of the church, and the bustling huts scattered around the church. The wooden fences surrounded the entire village. The guards standing on the guard post at the entrance of the village were guarding warriors, goblins, fishman robbers, etc. that could appear at any time. This is an ordinary small village that can be seen everywhere in the kingdom.

Since it was already late at this time, most of the villagers had already returned home from busy farming, so the village was quite lively. Smoke was curling in small wooden houses, village women were making dinner at home, and children were playing at home, which was a harmonious scene.

When Oz approached the village, the guards on the mail tower also discovered Oz.

The guard on the mail tower asked Oz: "Hello, Mr. Mage. Is there anything wrong with you when you go to Hewan Village?" Although the guard was only a child, the other party's identity as a magician made the guard dare not underestimate the other party because of his age.

Oz: "I'm here to complete the mission of destroying the goblins in your village."

Hearing Oz's words, the guard was stunned: "Are you the only one? Where are your teammates?"

Oz: "I'm the only one."

Oz's words surprised the guards. Although magicians have mysterious powers, the magicians themselves are also very famous for their fragility, and few magicians choose to travel alone.

The guard frowned slightly and warned Oz with a serious look on his face: "Don't underestimate the goblins. They always act in groups. Once they are attacked, you may not even have the chance to cast spells!"

Oz smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your advice. I will be careful." Well, if it weren't for completing the tasks on the Demon King system, I wouldn't have done such high-risk and low-reward tasks.

After saying goodbye to the guards, Oz went to the village chief’s house located in the center of the village, next to the church.

When the village chief heard that Oz was here to complete the task, he was very enthusiastic, but when he heard that Oz was only one, the smile on his face instantly collapsed.

"Mr. Mage, I don't mean to look down on you, but there are so many goblins. Is it really okay for you to be alone?"

"Don't worry, village chief. I haven't done the task of eliminating the goblins. If I'm not sure, I won't receive this task."

Seeing that Oz was so confident, the village chief hesitated for a moment, sighed, and slowly said to Oz: "There were at least 40 goblins that attacked the village last time. The most troublesome thing was that there was even a goblin mage among them. Although we relied on the defense of the village to repel them, they still attacked those who went out to farm from time to time. If this continues, we will not be able to sow the seeds!"

"Didn't you ask for help from the capital?"

"The capital requires us to report at least the number of enemies and the location of the camp before we can send troops to reinforce." The village chief didn't say one thing, that is, if the number of enemies is too small, the capital will let the village militia team solve the problem on its own without sending reinforcements. In the words of those officials, if the militia in the village cannot solve the problem of several goblins, what's the use of raising those militias?

In the village chief's opinion, those senior officials stood and spoke without a pain in their backs. The militia were all composed of farmers in the village. What if there were casualties and injuries in the battle? Instead of using the village finance to pay the militia's pension, the village chief was more willing to use it to pay the adventurers' compensation - anyway, the adventurers don't need to pay when they die.

Oz didn't know the little Jiujiu in the village chief's heart, nor was he interested in knowing it. After having supper at the village chief's house and asking the village chief about the general direction of the goblins, Oz said goodbye to the village chief and left the village at night.

The forest at night is very gloomy, and the leaves covered the moonlight in the sky, making it almost impossible to see your fingers in the entire forest. Except for those nocturnal creatures, most of the creatures retracted into their nests and waited for dawn. Goblins are no exception.

In such an environment where ordinary people can't see their fingers, their combat power is almost zero. Once they encounter a night-like monster, it will definitely end up with a life-threatening end! Therefore, most travelers will stop after the night fall, light a bonfire, and camp and rest.

But for Oz, such an environment where you can't see your fingers is simply paradise! Your vision is not limited at all, and you can even see further than during the day. Coupled with the indescribable sense of magic brought by infinite magic, Oz even has the illusion that he can go against the will of heaven!

While moving in the direction the village chief said, Oz paid attention to the creatures around him. When passing by a dry tree, Oz saw a nest of a big needle bee.

Big needle bees are a relatively common insect. Their appearance and living habits are somewhat similar to those of bees on Earth, but they are bigger than bees, and the toxins in the stings at their tails can easily kill adults!

Although big-needle bees are very dangerous, their larvae and honey in their honeycomb are very precious ingredients, and the toxins in their tail stings are also excellent alchemy materials.

If it was during the day, Oz would most likely choose to detour when encountering this group of terrorists using poison needles, but at night, these big needle bees that do not have night vision are just a group of blind people, and they can only run around like a group of headless flies when attacked. Therefore, Oz did not hesitate to stand far away from the hive and threw a water polo technique over.

...Ah? It seems something is wrong. According to Oz's estimate, the attack of the water polo technique will knock down the hive from the tree, and then add a water curtain technique to drown all the big needle bees, and then you can recover a complete hive and several big needle bees' poisonous needles.

But in fact, when Oz threw out a water polo technique, the hive was like a candle grilled by flames. The whole thing was corroded with the big needle bee inside, and even the big needle bee couldn't run out!

"Hell! What's going on? Why did my water polo technique become like this?" Oz was shocked by the effect of his water polo technique.

However, Mona did not seem to hear Oz's doubts, but followed Oz like a spirit behind her.

Oz turned around and looked at Mona strangely: "Mona, why haven't you suddenly been so quiet? You've obviously been talking all the way."

Mona raised her head and said seriously: "Report to Lord Demon! Mona is thinking about how to lead you to the right path!"

Oz: "...If you mean the right way to kidnap princesses and have sex, then I suggest you go there and rest wherever you are."

"My devil, you should face your desires!"

"The biggest difference between humans and wild animals is that their actions follow instincts and desires, while humans follow reason."

"You are the devil! That is, you are not a beast or a human!"

"Well. That doesn't matter." Oz waved his hand and decided not to argue on the issue, "I just asked you why my water polo skills turned into this?"

Mona glanced at the corroded hive that Oz pointed to and explained: "You are the Demon King. The Demon King cannot release any magic related to blessings."

Oz retorted: "Water polo is not a blessing magic."

"'Water' itself represents a blessing to life. So any water magic you release will be forcibly turned into cursed magic."

"The curse effect of the Demon King can be explained like this..." Oz felt a little depressed, "If we follow this logic, then the light magic will not be used normally?"

"Yes."

Oz raised his staff: "Light!"

Since the 0th-level magic of Light Technique is constant on the staff, Oz even saved the spell and released it directly. But strangely, Light Technique did not change as Mona said.

Just when Oz wanted to ask, Mona took the initiative to explain: "My devil, only the magic you released will change. The magic props are not affected."

"That's it." Oz extinguished the light technique at the top of the staff, began to chant the spell slowly, trying to cast the light technique.

I saw the light element and the dark element gather in my hands at the same time, and then there was a fierce collision! Oz, who noticed that something was wrong, quickly threw out the black and white light ball in his hand!

The light ball just threw it out, and there was a loud "boom!" sound! The light ball exploded like a bomb! The strong shock wave directly overturned Oz to the ground!

"Bah!" Oz spit out the dirt in his mouth and raised his head. The turf in front was lifted up!

Oz took a breath: "The power of this explosion is no less than fireball technique!"

At this moment, Mona's voice came from behind Oz: "Master Demon! ~ Help!"

Oz turned around and saw Mona flying out by the aftermath of the explosion, her chubby body stuck to a tree.

"Okay, wait a moment." In the past, Oz was able to use the shock wave of water polo to knock things down from the tree. But if he used water polo now, the corrosive water polo might corrode Mona so much that it wouldn't even be left with bone racks.

When Oz thought that he could hardly use the water magic he was best at, he felt very depressed.

Each magic has its own characteristics and functions. Water-making can create drinking water, water curtain can effectively defend against small insects and poisonous gas attacks, rejuvenation can be used to cultivate plants, and healing can heal wounds... Although water-based magic is not suitable for attack, it is the most comprehensive function of elemental magic! But now, these very useful magics have all become all dark magic.

Should I embark on the path to becoming a dark wizard? Oz felt his head full of thought of the dark wizard's bad reputation second only to the undead wizard.

Oz tried other water-based magic and found that when magic elements were gathered, there were always a large number of dark elements mixed in, which resulted in the corrosion and weakening effects of dark elements mixed in the magic. However, when Oz tested the ice-based magic, everything was normal. There was no dark element involved in the magic, and no abnormal changes occurred.

It seems that although "water" is considered a blessing, "ice" is not considered a blessing. Fortunately, otherwise Oz would have to be a dark wizard.

With twelve-point remnants, Oz came to the beehive that had been corroded before.

"It's corroded like this, and I don't know if [Monster Transformation] is useful." Oz released a [Monster Transformation] to the hive, and saw a black fog quickly covering the hive of the big needle bee. When the black fog dissipated, the honeycomb fragments on the ground had disappeared. In front of Oz was a super big hornet that was almost the size of a football.

"All the corpses are integrated into one." Oz frowned slightly, "I originally expected to destroy a few hives and get enough to complete the 10,000 monsters needed to complete the mission."
