Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid Chapter 299

Hebrew definitely didn't believe it.

So, was this kid just arrogant and rash?

It didn't seem like it either.

Hebrew felt like he was confident, like he found a surefire way to win the bet.

What was it?

Hebrew was a bit unsure, the more he thought about it, the more he felt like he agreed to the bet too quickly. However his preparations could be set to be perfect, so nothing should go wrong.

The circle engraved on the copper bloodwood was hidden very well, so there was no way it could be discovered from the outside. It's not like Lin Xiao can open a third eye and see through it, right? The copper bloodwood was also surrounded with a thick layer of refined magic stone, only the butt had a bit of wood sticking out, so there was no way he could knock it down no matter what magic he bombarded it with, there was no way Lin Xiao could win this bet!

It's true that Lin Xiao couldn't see through things, but he had a maid that had a magic radar cheat and already saw through Hebrew's tricks. Also, his fourth-level magic was not quite the same as other people's.

“Ice ball!”

Along with a chant, Lin Xiao raised one hand and spread his fingers out. The pale blue magic power gathered in his palm and quickly formed a magic circle.

“Puh… ice ball? You really were planning on using fourth-level magic, huh…” Hebrew almost laughed out loud when he saw that.

Not just Hebrew, the people that were watching also couldn't help but laugh. Originally, there were looking forward to what kind of amazing thing this kid was going to show, but it was only to this degree. They shook their heads in low spirits and lamented that he was just a kid that only knew how to run his mouth as they walked back inside to partake in the free fruits and desserts.

Fourth-level magic, ice ball. It's shape and effect was very similar to ice comet, it was basically a weaker version of it, from a comet to a small ice ball.

Their disappointment was understandable.

Even Yao Zi's ice comet couldn't knock down the doll, yet Lin Xiao was trying to use this tiny ball to knock it down, it was too much of a joke.

Hebrew had thought that Lin Xiao planned to use the opposing relationship between the elements… Earlier, since Lin Tian and Yao Zi cast two ice comets in succession, it abruptly dropped the temperature of the stone and the surroundings, if he suddenly used fire magic, even if it was just fourth-level, the extreme difference in temperature might cause the stone to break and knock it down.

But it's unfortunate that Lin Xiao didn't do that and instead just cast a weak ice ball to continue to meet it head on.

Hebrew couldn't think of any word to describe it other than foolish.

“Lin Xiao, w-wait!”

“Ah? What is it now?”

“Lin Xiao, are you sure? Ice ball is a weaker version of ice comet, and we both failed earlier, so you can't succeed.” Yao Zi spoke with worry.

If Lin Xiao lost, he would have to give away a year's worth of wages because of her, she would feel pretty guilty.

“Sis, don't worry about him, he's just an idiot that doesn't understand such a simple principle, what else is there to say?” Lin Xiao impatiently pulled on Yao Zi's arm to not let her rush over.

“Hehe, don't worry, I know what I'm doing.”

Lin Xiao smiled unperturbed, and aimed the ice ball at the stone doll.

“Tsk, showing off at his own expense, you're in for it when you fail later. Sis, let's go.”

Lin Tian tried dragging her away, but she stood there without moving.

“Wait… the ice ball in his hands doesn't feel normal.” Yao Zi seriously studied that crystal-like ice ball while muttering to herself.

“How does it not feel normal, it looks the same to me… Well, if I had to say something, it looks a lot more transparent.”

“Transparent? Yes, but not just that, also… hm, also…” Yao Zi nodded while trying to choose her wording, but she couldn't successfully convey what she was feeling and bit her lips in annoyance.

From the outside, his ice ball looked more crystal clear than a normal one, which meant there were no mistakes or imperfections in his magic circle, so his skills were definitely first-rate.

But it wasn't just that, because of her wizard's bloodline, she could see past its outer appearance and see the movement of the magic power…

Yao Zi's black eyes turned slightly white as she awakened her bloodline for a brief moment and she noticed something shocking. The ice ball in Lin Xiao's hand was wrapped by thin strands of magic that couldn't be seen with the naked eyes, like a yo-yo.

What was he going to do?

Before Yao Zi could think about it, Lin Xiao finally moved.

He turned his body slightly, bent his arm with the ice ball and then threw it out.

The light blue ice ball arced towards the blackish stone doll. Lin Xiao's throw was extremely accurate and in just a moment, it would directly hit the stone doll!

“Hmph, it's useless, you cant knock it over.”

Hebrew snorted and awaited for his victory.

“Wait, he's not planning to hit it directly!”

Yao ZI exclaimed to herself as she stared at the ice ball that was wrapped with magic strands.

In a blink of an eye, the ice ball already arrived near the doll, it should have been crushed as it collided, but something shocking happened!

In that instant, Yao Zi's wizard's pupils could see all the strands of magic suddenly tighten!

“What? It went around??”

That ice ball just suddenly changed direction in midair, like it was grabbed by an invisible hand. It turned to the right with a 90 degrees turn and went around the stone doll!

Hebrew's jaw dropped, he rubbed his eyes thinking what he saw was just a hallucination. But he realized that it was reality after giving himself a good slap.

Why did the ice ball suddenly change directions? It was like that tiny thing was magnetized as it spun around the stone doll at extremely quick speeds.

It was true that the caster can mentally add more control to any magic, so it could still change directions after it was cast, but… he has never heard of an ice ball making a sharp turn in midair and revolve around its target!

How was this magic, it was straight up circus tricks!

Coincidentally, Elena also had similar thoughts before. A year ago, when Lin Xiao was practicing with the magic bullets, Elena ridiculed it as mere 'tricks'.

But this time, it was a fourth-level magic instead of the first-level magic magic bullet. What Elena saw as tricks, looked to be amazing miracles to other people!

“Hey, hey, hey, stop eating, come look!”

“What, isn't it just an ice ball, it's not like it'll go to heaven or something…”

“Peh, it really did!”

“Ah? What did you say!?”

The people in the room still had half-eaten food in their mouths as they ran over to the door to watch the breathtaking magic 'tricks'.

The crystal clear ice ball was still spiraling around, Lin Xiao smiled and extended a finger.

Woosh!

The ice ball changed directions again and shot towards the sky in a vertical angle and started slowly dropping when it became out of sight.

“Damn!”

Hebrew guessed what Lin Xiao was planning to do and wanted to stop it, but there was no time!

The ice ball picked up speed as it fell towards the stone doll, and with Lin Xiao's precise control, it didn't hit the body, but it directly hit the butt of the doll from a tricky angle!

That's right, that was the doll's only weakness, a small portion that was not covered with refined magic stone that was stuffed with copper bloodwood!

Boom!

The crystal clear ice ball exploded into an ice mist along with a deafening sound, the doll couldn't withstand the impact and fell onto the ground.

The heavy refined magic stone hit the ground, cracking the surface but it still didn't stop and it rolled forward like a soccer ball.

As everyone followed the rolling doll with their eyes, a foot suddenly appeared.

The blackish doll coincidentally stopped right by Lin Xiao's feet!

“Hehe.”

Lin Xiao lifted his feet and gently stepped on it, instantly shattering the butt into two, causing all of the wood stuffed inside to tumble out.

At the same time, all the magic circles engraved onto the copper bloodwood was revealed to everyone as well.

“Hebrew… it seems like it's my win.”
