Chapter 324: Escape
During this time, Lynn hadn’t been idle. Besides successfully constructing the Heart of Flame and refining the Silence Potion,
he also tempered his body.
Now, his physical strength was comparable to a Peak Knight, and his experience and skills were even a cut above a Grand Knight.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
His figure flashed as he plunged into the narrow alley, quickly escaping towards the outskirts of the town.
Lynn chose routes that were crowded and congested, so he could use others as cover to avoid the attacks of the surrounding demonic creatures.
“Screech!”
The wall ahead exploded, and a monster with a human face, a lion’s body, and a snake’s tail shrieked as it charged out.
A wizard apprentice cast a spell to resist, and sharp earth spikes shot up from the ground, but they were easily shattered by the monster.
With a large bite, the protective magic instantly shattered, and an Intermediate Wizard Apprentice was bitten in two.
A legendary creature!
Lynn’s expression darkened. Seeing the demonic creature look towards him, the ground beneath his feet exploded as he flew sideways.
“Whoosh!”
He used his movement technique, changing his footwork as he darted through the narrow street, with rumbles echoing behind him.
It’s chasing me?
Lynn glanced back, his brow furrowing slightly, then he charged towards a nearby fire.
Fire Control!
With a light wave of his staff, the flames in front of him parted on their own, opening a path for him.
“Whoosh!”
Lynn’s feet touched the ground rapidly as he dodged the demonic creature’s pounce, charging into the sea of fire and disappearing after a few rolls.
The demonic creature roared angrily, hesitated for a moment as it looked at the burning flames ahead, and ultimately flicked its tail and chose to leave.
…………
Escape!
Escape quickly!
More and more demonic creatures descended from the sky, and the entire town of Weir fell into panic.
Lynn’s location was bad, right in the center of town, where the demonic creatures attacked first.
Fortunately, he was fast enough and escaped in time, choosing to flee before a large number of demonic creatures entered the town.
The further out he went,
the fewer demonic creatures there were.
And their average strength was also decreasing.
“Hmm?”
During his escape, a figure not far away made Lynn raise an eyebrow, and a look of surprise appeared on his face:
“Isaiah?”
Besides his friend Isaiah from his academy days, there was also a middle-aged man with silver hair.
The man held a unique silver sword, and each flash of the blade was accompanied by sharp wind blades shooting out.
Ordinary demonic creatures were sliced in two by the wind blades, and even those with strong bodies could not withstand the silver sword’s cuts.
Clearly,
this was a powerful magic item.
However, there were too many demonic creatures surrounding the two, and more and more were gathering there, so their situation was already precarious.
“Hah!”
Isaiah uttered a low cry, and streams of water shot out from beneath her feet, like poisonous snakes pouncing towards their prey.
A ball of water also spun around her, intercepting incoming attacks.
It was clear that after leaving the academy, Isaiah’s combat experience had improved by leaps and bounds, and her spellcasting was also swift and precise.
However…
this could not reverse the situation.
“Uncle Pips,” Isaiah gritted her teeth and shouted loudly:
“Don’t worry about me, find a chance to leave on your own. If this continues, we’ll both die here.”
“…” Pips’ expression was cold, and he didn’t respond, only increasing the speed at which he swung his silver sword.
“Boom!”
The ground ahead exploded, and a monster with a hard outer shell, resembling a praying mantis, charged in.
The monster was as large as a house, swinging its pincers as it charged towards Isaiah.
“Bang!”
The incoming water arrows were easily shattered by it, and the water ball surrounding Isaiah was also forcibly dispersed.
With such power, if it were to hit a wizard apprentice, it would probably turn their body into mincemeat.
“Isaiah!”
Pips roared.
But Isaiah’s body seemed to shatter like a phantom, and a water crocodile appeared on her side.
“Roar!”
The water crocodile roared to the sky, pouncing on the monster and tearing into the mantis monster.
Isaiah’s figure reappeared not far away, holding a crocodile-shaped porcelain item in her hand, her hands trembling slightly.
Magic Item—Water Crocodile Summoning!
This was her trump card. Although it was powerful, it consumed a lot of mental power.
Especially now, after casting spells and fighting for a long time, her mental energy was being depleted, and the scene before her eyes was becoming blurry.
◈◈◈
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind attacked.
Isaiah instinctively raised her staff, and a stream of water gathered at her side, blocking an incoming tentacle.
But there was more than one tentacle.
Tentacles as thick as a child’s arm shot out from the dust, attacking Isaiah like a storm.
“Snap!”
“Snap, snap…”
The water flow exploded, and Isaiah retreated repeatedly. Her nose and eye sockets were bleeding from the violent shaking.
It’s over!
As she watched a tentacle rapidly approach, she was unable to activate her magic due to her depleted mental energy, and a look of despair appeared in her eyes.
“Whoosh!”
Just then.
A line of fire swept by, and the incoming tentacle instantly snapped in two, with only the wind brushing past her face.
“Isaiah.”
Lynn hurried over:
“Are you alright?”
“Lynn.” Seeing Lynn, Isaiah’s heart instinctively rejoiced, but then a look of panic appeared on her face:
“Go quickly!”
“It’s too dangerous here!”
As a friend, she knew Lynn’s strength very well.
A Junior Wizard Apprentice, who had only mastered one cantrip and one zero-circle spell, his combat power was pitifully weak.
Faced with the current situation, Lynn’s arrival was useless, and he would only lose his life in vain.
“Let’s assess the situation first.”
Lynn shook his head and lightly waved his staff, and countless sparks immediately floated around like butterflies.
Once the sparks came into contact with an external object, they instantly ignited, setting the surrounding things ablaze.
The power wasn’t too great, but the range was wide and the control was precise. For a time, it forced the surrounding demonic creatures to retreat.
“Go!”
Lynn grabbed Isaiah’s hand. Seeing her staggering, he took a step forward and directly held her in his arms.
“Don’t move, let’s go!”
He called out to the middle-aged man not far away, and Lynn strode towards the outskirts of the town.
As he charged forward, his face hardened, and he held his staff upright in front of him, with wisps of flame floating around him.
Fire Control!
Ignite!
Flames Roar!
A fireball emerged from the tip of the staff, initially the size of a quail egg, but in an instant, it became comparable to a face plate.
Then, it rapidly grew to more than a meter in diameter, and with a slight tremor, it charged forward.
“Boom!”
The fireball rolled forward, like a roaring flame, directly blasting open a path to the outside world in front of the two of them.
The demonic creatures in its path were either crushed or burned to ashes.
This…
Isaiah’s eyes widened, and she looked at Lynn in surprise. She could only feel the wind whistling around her, and before long, they had actually broken through the encirclement of demonic creatures.
“How did you become so powerful?”
That move just now was comparable to a spell cast by a Senior Wizard Apprentice, something even she herself couldn’t do.
Lynn…
should only be a Junior Wizard Apprentice, right?
“I just learned a new spell,” Lynn shook his head. Seeing that they had escaped danger, his tense body relaxed a little:
“Don’t be fooled by how fierce that move was. I can only use it once. If we encounter danger again…”
“Who’s there?”
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly turned to look not far away, his staff pointing towards the direction.
“Apprentices from the academy?” Several figures emerged from the narrow alley, their eyes landing on the wizard robe that Isaiah was wearing:
“We are from the academy.”
“Greetings, seniors,” Isaiah hurriedly struggled to stand up from Lynn’s arms, a blush appearing on her face:
“I’m Isaiah, this is Lynn, and this is Uncle Pips.”
“Lynn?” One of them raised an eyebrow, his gaze landing on Lynn, his eyes flickering slightly:
“I’ve heard that name before.”
“That spell just now was good. You guys rest first. The academy has already sent wizards to provide support, and the chaos in Weir Town will be resolved soon.”
