Episode 48.2 (1/2)
The Argent Flame Wolf opened its jaws and shot out a blue fireball.
The fireball zoomed toward Lecan at tremendous speed and exploded when it came into contact with <Necklace of Intuador>'s barrier.
Lecan crouched down, grabbed Overking Bear Overcoat and turned around before breaking into run.
The second fireball hit the barrier behind him, causing another explosion.
Lecan frantically ran in the dark night forest.
Fighting did not even cross his mind.
There's no way to win against that thing.
His necklace is still managing to block its attack since it's been nothing but magic-based ones, but even that barrier won't last much longer against barrage of such immensely powerful attacks.
What's more, Argent Flame Wolf's physical attacks are far more terrifying than its magical attacks. Lecan may be wearing dragon leather armor now, but Argent Flame Wolf's fangs and claws would instantly tear it to pieces.
”<Zoruas Kurt Vendar>!”
As he recited the spell while leaping forward, his body disappeared and re-emerged in a spot more than 100 steps away.
He tripped as his feet touched the ground, but managed to regain his balance somehow and continued running.
Once he had enough momentum, he recited the spell once again.
”<Zoruas Kurt Vendar>!”
This time he tripped for real, but he quickly get up to his feet from rolling position and kept running.
Another spell recited.
”<Zoruas Kurt Vendar>!”
Lecan vanished and emerged in a spot 100 steps away.
His feet tumbled again as he landed, but he quickly got up and ran.
Getting attacked during the night is a silver lining.
<Leg Bands of White Devil> are only usable three times a day, but the reset time is sunset. Perhaps ancient humans regarded nightfall as a new day. As Lecan hadn't tested out the leg bands today, he got three uses out of it.
He enlarged the scope of <Life Detection> to maximum and found no reaction of Argent Flame Wolf. Meaning they're more than 2500 steps apart. He should be able to get away if he just keeps running now.
That was when Argent Flame Wolf emerged in front of him.
”<Wind>!!”
Lecan funneled as much mana as he could into <Gust> to slide next to Argent Flame Wolf, attempting to run past it.
But the wolf shot out a blue fireball from its mouth and blew away Lecan's foothold as a retaliation.
”Uwaa.”
As a huge gaping hole suddenly formed on the ground he was about to step on, not even Lecan could prevent himself tumbling down hard.
Another blue fireball flew a second later, colliding and exploding against the necklace's barrier.
(Dammit.)
(Forgot this thing's a <Warp> user.)
(How'd it get this far straight up!)
Lecan cursed inwardly as he got up.
Looks like running is not an option.
His only choice is to fight.
The Argent Flame Wolf stopped its attack and squinted at Lecan.
No.
