Episode 52.1 (1/2)
Lecan slowly stood up.
Argent Flame Wolf had its gaze fixed at Lecan with its eyes glistening in the forest darkness.
Chubby disappeared into the darkness, as if he was never there.
Argent Flame Wolf kept staring at Lecan without caring about Chubby.
Lecan put away <Sword of Rusk> in <Storage>, took <Shield of Wolkan> and equipped it on his left hand. Then he took <Sword of Toron> out. And a deep breath.
The skewered meat grilled over the campfire wafted a nice smell in the air.
Lecan suddenly turned around and made a mad dash.
The Argent Flame Wolf immediately shot out magic attack from its mouth. A huge blue fireball.
Already anticipating that, Lecan dodged. However, it wasn't a perfect evasion as <Necklace of Intuador> put up a barrier and stopped the magic attack.
Lecan kept running.
Argent Flame Wolf shot another fireball while running after Lecan.
The fireball blew away the trees behind Lecan, and got stopped by <Necklace of Intuador>'s barrier once again.
Running.
Running.
Running in the night forest.
Lecan kept on running.
However, his path wasn't straight ahead for the sake of fleeing.
He's zigzagging around all over the place to limit Argent Flame Wolf's targeting.
Suddenly, Lecan sensed an activation of magic unlike anything before.
(Here comes Warp!)
There's this peculiar sign of mana emitted whenever Argent Flame Wolf warps.
And sure enough, the wolf emerged in front of Lecan.
Lecan neither reversed his course or stopped moving, he picked up speed instead and turned slightly to the right. And kept running as he went right past Argent Flame Wolf.
The wolf opened its mouth to shot out magic. However that magic tore through an empty space where Lecan was a moment before, blowing away trees behind him.
Lecan himself was already behind the wolf.
Argent Flame Wolf swiftly turned around in a maneuver impossible for human and shot magic at Lecan's back.
The magic missed Lecan as he had already changed course to the left, it went past Lecan's right side, blocked by <Necklace of Intuador>.
Lecan sensed the sign of a swelling mana behind him as he zigzagged in the forest.
(Here it comes!)

There are two types of blue fireballs the Argent Flame Wolf shoot out.
Fireballs it shot through motions instead of open mouth can be shot while it's running.
While the fireballs where it stops moving to converge mana before casting hold a tremendous amount of mana and create a mana blast at impact point that severely damages its foes.
Every one of the later fireballs holds a power rivaling a <Gailvey> Lecan cast with all his might. Getting hit by one will consume <Necklace of Intuador> mana supply in a flash.
Lecan turned around, held <Sword of Toron> ahead and recited a spell loudly.
”<Zoruas Kurt Vendar>.”
A terrifyingly powerful magic attack got shot out of Argent Flame Wolf's mouth.
The magic mowed, blew and burned down trees, but not Lecan.
Lecan had disappeared just before that tremendous magic hit him, and emerged behind Argent Flame Wolf.
