We must avoid being hit by its breath attack, thankfully its attack range isn’t far.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss continued to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there is no magic like Restoration Technique to remove the petrification effect, then the only way is to rely on Constitution attributes to endure it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among those present, the only person who might try it is him; he might withstand the petrification attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as the saying goes, a wise man doesn’t stand by a dangerous wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t plan to risk using his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Fireball Technique should be able to kill it,\" Gauss continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But since I’m still practicing, my proficiency isn’t high enough, so casting it takes time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That target, the Petrified Bull, might run away before my Fireball Technique is fully formed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss rubbed his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t underestimate the demons in the wild; they are keenly perceptive of magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he has only one chance to use the Fireball Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has to seize it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is there only one chance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because even though his special innate ability provides extra mana, he also needs to reserve some magic power for his Flying Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he can’t overly deplete magic power because of the Fireball Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, ensuring a safe retreat is most important; whether he can clear the target this time is secondary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At worst, they can regroup and try again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they hold the initiative, there will be many opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, we’ll try to provide control for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying and Aaliyah nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they needed to do was to keep the Petrified Bull within the explosion range of the Fireball Technique before Gauss completed his setup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ying, can you do it? If it’s too dangerous, forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss looked at Ying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The control ability she mastered was called Shadow Bind, a skill recently exchanged with points from the Adventurer’s Guild rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect is as the name suggests, and she can perform it better than normal professionals because of her innate ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, under attack, the damage inflicted on the shadow would also affect the host herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine,\" Ying nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then everyone be cautious and prioritize your personal safety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief discussion of the upcoming plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group rested on-site for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During their break, the Petrified Bull didn’t take any significant action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were far enough away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, the Petrified Bull’s intelligence is low, and its perception isn’t remarkably sharp, so it’s hard to detect them from this distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s begin then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gauss finished speaking, Aaliyah and Serdur started casting buffs on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attribute Enhancement!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy was released from Aaliyah’s wooden staff, merging into Gauss’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she used the enhancement effect direction and focused on boosting Gauss’s Intelligence Attribute to facilitate his spell casting later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Aaliyah completed her casting, Serdur followed closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blessing Technique!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upgraded Blessing Technique was cast onto Gauss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss, strengthened by the dual reinforcement, felt the magic in his body become significantly more active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serdur then quickly cast the Blessing Technique on Aaliyah and Ying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Gauss Position, everyone had it placed on themselves before they arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Act according to the plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss’s body rose into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaliyah instantly transformed into a black raven and flew into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying silently melded into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A raven streaked across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several scattered seeds rained down on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Petrified Bull, resting on the ground, sensed the commotion and looked up at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing that it was a non-threatening raven, it withdrew its gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this bird landed in front of it, it wouldn’t mind using a petrifying breath to make a little snack out of it, but since it can’t reach it in the sky, it’s not worth the effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It doesn’t have the strength to bother with such little meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thud thud thud!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, more seeds fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Petrified Bull lifted its head, starting to feel a bit irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, its intelligence is quite low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It doesn’t have the brain capacity to analyze the underlying reasons and threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s only annoyed by the insistent black bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moo!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It breathes more heavily, and the green mist from its nose corrodes the surrounding grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the bird flew a bit lower, it would surely hit it with a breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the raven was smart, flying high and not decreasing its altitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From afar, only a small black dot could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It decided to ignore it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Gauss had already landed on a hill behind the Petrified Bull from high above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overlooking the target from a commanding position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His form was now in a kind of transparent state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from the Petrified Bull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching his position, he began waiting for Ying and Aaliyah’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he could directly cast the Fireball Technique now, and possibly kill the Petrified Bull if it wasn’t vigilant, it’s better to pursue an opportunity for a one-hit kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gazed at the Petrified Bull, calming his breath and focusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patience was something he didn’t lack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, he noticed that as a huge cloud above blocked the sun, a slightly darker shadow associated with the cloud appeared beside the Petrified Bull.\u003C\u002Fp>",912,"2026-06-05T18:36:35.128Z",1,"novelbin.me","4c6b7cadacd4363771aaef0524e3966c9af7a539ac71032bf4ffc8496daf9a77","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-459","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-457",640,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-cover.jpg"]
