Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 50

Chapter 50: The Hunt

Several days later.

Karl and his group had already gone deep into the city center.

The most common things here were not ferocious beasts or strange creatures, but half-dead creatures that had been eroded by Yin Energy and mutated.

They retained some of their instincts from before death, fearless of pain, tireless, with increased speed and strength to a certain extent.

And they craved fresh blood.

Once they set their sights on you, the outcome would often be a fight to the death.

The key was, if scratched by these things, the injured party would also mutate if they didn’t treat it in time.

Therefore, few people were willing to provoke them.

“Ugh…”

Several half-dead people came staggering from the street.

Their clothes were tattered, their flesh pale, their fingers calloused. They were miners from the underground in life.

Don’t think that they moved slowly now. Once they found a target, they would attack frantically.

No weaknesses, tireless…

Only knowing killing!

“Swoosh!”

“Thump! Thump!”

Several arrows came flying through the air, piercing the bodies of the half-dead people.

Three of them emitted white smoke, screaming miserably, but the other one didn’t react at all and even accelerated towards the group.

“Little Nan!”

Aya called out:

“You forgot to dip your arrows in holy water again!”

“I did.” Little Nan’s forehead was sweating:

“It must have dried up.”

Holy water contained divine power, but its essence was still ordinary water. If it was applied to the arrows too early, it would evaporate over time.

At that time,

it would no longer have the effect of restraining undead creatures.

For example, now.

“Stop arguing.”

Karl drew his broadsword:

“It’s charging at us.”

As he spoke, his figure flickered, rushing towards the charging half-dead person, the broadsword in his hand swirling with a gust of wind.

Stab!

Sweep!

Chop!

……

After several sword strikes, the headless corpse of the half-dead person fell at his feet.

Aya and the others also swarmed forward.

The half-dead people, weakened by the holy water, were like slow-moving corpses, their threat greatly reduced.

The battle was over in a moment.

Aya took out a dagger and chopped off the little finger of the half-dead person, using it to exchange for supplies from the City Guard.

Karl collected the Soul Powder on the ground.

“Hmm?”

His ears twitched slightly, and Karl looked up at the dark alley not far away. His face darkened, and he raised his hand to activate a Fire Rune.

“Whoosh…”

A fireball roared out, exploding in the darkness.

“Get lost!”

Karl’s voice was icy. Shadows flickered in the dark alley, accompanied by a cacophony of sounds as they quickly retreated.

“Uncle.”

Aya walked over:

“Someone trying to take advantage of us again?”

“Yes.”

Karl nodded:

“We are deep in the city center now. The danger is not only from the half-dead creatures but also from living people. Let’s call it a day.”

“Ah!”

Little Nan looked disappointed:

“Uncle, it’s still early. Why don’t we search around a bit more? Maybe we’ll find something else.”

The others nodded in agreement.

For them, with the holy water weakening the half-dead creatures and Karl’s presence, the battles were too easy.

Unfortunately, every time they were not yet satisfied, Karl would call it quits.

“Our energy is limited. After a certain amount of time, we will inevitably get tired. It will be difficult to react in time if we encounter danger then.”

Karl shook his head:

“We need to stay alert on the way back too. Let’s go back as soon as possible while we still have the energy. Don’t be too greedy.”

He only had one potion left for emergencies, and they needed to replenish their holy water. Besides, it was indeed getting late.

The group reluctantly agreed.

Karl and his group had encountered almost no danger during their deep venture into the city center.

Firstly, they had the holy water to assist them, greatly reducing the threat of the half-dead creatures. Secondly, they worked together and had strength in numbers, avoiding a lot of trouble.

Others were not so fortunate.

In a certain block.

A pair of twins, who looked almost identical, were stopped in their tracks by a group of people.

“Hand over your things, and you can leave.”

The leader had a shaved head, his face covered in strange patterns. He held a club studded with spikes and sneered:

“Otherwise…”

“It’s not worth losing your lives for the little things you have.”

The twins’ faces tensed up. They exchanged glances and then, in perfect unison, turned and fled without a word.

“Heh…”

✿✿✿

Seeing this, the bald man shook his head:

“Foolish!”

A moment later.

Two almost identical heads were severed and hung on a flagpole, their faces contorted in a grimace.

…………

“Cough!”

“Cough! Cough!”

A man, holding a strange long sword, stumbled forward, coughing up blood from time to time, but not daring to stop.

It was not until there was no more sound behind him that he leaned against the wall, gasping for breath, his body trembling like a leaf.

“Damn devil, how could there be a Holy Knight here?”

“I almost died!”

“Cough! Cough!”

“Huh?” At this moment, a surprised voice rang out, followed by several people appearing one after another from the intersection ahead.

One of them laughed:

“What luck, we just came out and ran into prey delivered right to our doorstep.”

“A dying man probably doesn’t have much on him.” Someone shook his head and walked over with a large machete:

“I’ll send him to meet the God of Death!”

“Thump!”

A spike pierced through the chest of the speaker, protruding from his back, the slender spike stained with blood.

The strange thing was.

The spike trembled slightly as if it were alive, and the blood that stained it was devoured bit by bit until it was as bright as new.

“Clang…”

The machete fell heavily to the ground. The man who wanted to send someone to meet the God of Death ended up going first.

“Heh…” The man leaning against the wall chuckled softly:

“Really, what kind of trash dares to act arrogant in front of me?”

“Swoosh!”

The man flicked the thin sword in his hand.

Instantly.

Countless afterimages flashed, and the corpses in front of him were evenly cut into pieces like tofu, falling to the ground.

“Hiss…”

The man raised his neck, his face full of pleasure:

“Fresh Life Force, it’s truly intoxicating.”

Only then did the group see the man’s face clearly. Under his messy blond hair, his features were ordinary, but there was a strange scar that stretched from his forehead to his chin.

It was like a sharp sword had split him in two.

“You…”

“He’s Blood Thorn from the Shadow League!”

“Run!”

Recognizing the man’s face, the group’s expressions changed drastically. They had no desire to fight and turned to flee.

“Hmph!”

The cold snort started several meters away and ended up right next to their ears, accompanied by flashing sword shadows.

The sword in the man’s hand was thin and long, like a slender thorn growing from the hilt.

He stepped forward, wielding the thin sword with a gentle wave, and the people in front of him fell to the ground one after another.

No one could withstand a single blow!

“No!”

A woman cried and knelt on the ground:

“Please, don’t kill me, I’ll do anything you want!”

“Oh!”

Blood Thorn stopped and pinched the woman’s chin.

The woman had delicate features and smooth skin, which was extremely rare in Black City, and she was even more so now, putting on an ingratiating expression.

Her eyes were seductive.

“Tsk, tsk…”

Blood Thorn clicked his tongue and then thrust his sword.

The thin sword pierced through the woman’s mouth, coming out the back of her head, and then with a gentle flick, he split her head in two.

“Quite a beautiful woman, what a pity.”

…………

On a rooftop in the distance, a man frowned and looked away.

“Brother.”

The woman beside him spoke:

“What’s wrong?”

“I saw a madman.” The man took the longbow from his back, strung it, and aimed at the distance.

“Twang!”

The bowstring vibrated, and an arrow flew through the air, pinning a wandering half-dead person to the ground in the distance.

The ultra-long range, the terrifying power, the precise archery, any archer who saw this scene would despair at the gap between them.

“Madman?”

The woman shook her head.

She didn’t have her brother’s Eagle Eye Rune and couldn’t see that far, but she had her own strengths.

“Brother, Rat Woman from the Brotherhood is coming.”
