144 The World is a Cheese Part 1 (2/2)

Saleen could not take it either, puking onto Lex’s back.

However, the sensual feelings did not disappear and Saleen continued embracing Lex tightly, not neglecting to release a water shield when the fire ring of resistance was about to disappear.

Lex did not have as much control as Saleen. He had stopped after puking once, but Lex puked until there was nothing left inside of her, her stomach beginning to hurt.

She had no way of releasing magic accurately in her condition, and Saleen could only repeatedly release his water shields in order to protect their bodies.

With a booming sound, they emerged from the tunnel and landed heavily on their rears. To protect the two of them, Saleen’s water shield had expanded fully, forming a giant spherical shape. As they landed on the ground, it quickly rebounded into the air and landed on an even tougher material as it was deflected once again.

Saleen did not dare stop the water shield. Despite having a tough body, he would not be able to take such a beating. After all, he was only a mage and not a swordsman.

After being bounced around over thirty times, they finally stopped, and only then did Saleen dissipate the water shield. Lex shouted angrily, ”Are you not going to let go?”

Lex had never been this dishevelled before. Her chest was aching and her body was covered in her own vomit. Where would she ever have experienced something like this before?

Saleen released her slowly and said in his softest voice, ”Do not move around. Prepare the scrolls.”

Lex took a moment to regain her senses and took a look behind Saleen. The sky was blue and some white clouds were floating about lazily in the air. In the distance was a mountain range and a forest. Pressing her back against Saleen, she saw dozens of magic beasts staring wickedly at the two of them.

Seeing the enormous bodies and wide armor of the magic beasts, Lex realized what they had been bouncing off of. They had fallen into a pack of magic beasts and bounced off of them several times. Even if they were not typically carnivorous, they would be agitated by now.

Saleen looked behind Lex and saw even more magic beasts. There were at least a hundred. They had killer glares on them, their red eyes staring at the two of them.

Saleen said in a hoarse voice, ”Are you prepared?”

”Yes.” Lex had unconsciously begun to cooperate with Saleen.

”Now!” Saleen took out a magic scroll from his demonic ring and released it rapidly.

”Close your eyes!” Lex released her magic scroll more slowly than Saleen, and her Grade 6 magic scroll only opened after Saleen’s poisonous gas had been completely released.

Saleen closed his eyes, and with a tug from Lex, a white light shot up into the skies.

Grade 6 Light Magic: Light Explosion.

The Light Explosion spell not only caused illusions to fade but could counter Dark Magic. It could destroy an enemy’s eyes, and once the spell was shot directly at them, a person would become blind.

These magic beasts were not small and Lex did not plan on killing them individually. Under the attack of these magic beasts with no swordsmen at their side, a mage’s chances of survival were slim.

Lex took Saleen with her as she flew up unsteadily. She had not had much time to practice her flying skills. Otherwise, with the grade of her equipment, flying around with Saleen would not have been a problem.

The herd of magic beasts growled angrily. The Light Explosion spell had damaged the eyes of most of the beasts and the ones surrounding Lex and Saleen began to run around frantically. A few of them banged into each other, giving out earth-shattering roars.

Lex fell onto the ground and released a Windspeed spell onto Saleen. They were not hurrying now, but rather, were escaping for their lives. A Grade 3 Windspeed spell was too slow and as Lex shouted for them to run, the two of them began to escape in the direction with no magic beasts.

The ground behind them shook as the magic beasts that had not been injured started chasing them. The two of them did not dare look back as they ran with all their might. A large river appeared before them, and while Lex was still hesitating, Saleen had already jumped into it.

Lex followed him and released an Underwater Breathing spell. This river was at least several hundred meters wide and luckily, the current was not strong. After landing in the water, Saleen was nearly like a fish swimming in the river. With a twist of his body, he came to Lex’s side. He held onto her magic robe and made a gesture.

Lex dissipated the Windspeed spell and Saleen released another water shield, encasing the two of them in a bubble.

”Do not go up for now.” Saleen controlled the water shield. At that moment, the sound of an enormous object falling into the water came from above. The magic beasts that had chased them to the river bank were not about to give up and had released a Falling Rock spell.
