Chapter 252: Confrontation in the Wilderness Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ferde Wilderness.
Romilsin’s summoned unicorn was even faster than Link’s Wind Fenrir. After a few minutes, he was more than 300 feet ahead of Link.
However, he was not stupid. He knew that if he wanted to save the princess, he needed Link’s power. So, after getting more than 300 feet ahead, he did not speed up and just maintained this distance.
The princess’s blood aura in the stains was fading. This meant the princess’s life was fading too.
Romilson must get to Milda as fast as possible. Not a second could be wasted!
The wilderness terrain had no pattern. Sometimes there would be boulders in the way, but that was okay. His Level-4 unicorn was very powerful and helped him quickly pass through these obstacles.
“Hey!”
Romilson controlled the unicorn to jump over a boulder and then land before continuing forward at breakneck speed. He then heard a call from behind him. It was Link, trying to say something to him.
He wanted to ignore the man. The humans were cold-blooded, selfish, and fake. If he didn’t need Link’s power to save the princess, he wouldn’t even slow down to wait.
So what if you’re the number one human Magician? So what if you can do spatial magic? F*ck you! Anger rose inside Romilson. He stopped controlling the unicorn’s speed and prepared to charge wildly.
But then, he suddenly heard a whoosh sound behind him. At the same time, there were violent Mana waves—it was a magic spell. Someone was attacking behind with a spell.
Looking back, he saw a metallic tip piercing towards him. The Mana on it showed that it was Link’s spell.
“Link? Attacking me! What is he doing?” Romilson grew even more furious. Getting an idea, he instantly cast the defensive spell Shield of Thorns.
Shield of Thorns
Level-2 Elite Spell
Effect: Rattan thorns created by solidified natural elements form a flexible shield. It can effectively block all piercing attacks.
(Note: exclusive High Elf spell.)
A green light flashed in the air, and countless thorns formed instantly. They wove together and created a ten-foot wide shield.
Poof! The Whistle collided with the shield and exploded. However, the countless thorns absorbed all of the destructive force. It was basically ineffective.
Romulsive instinctively began to fight back.
He pointed his wand at the ground. A beam of dark green light shot into the soil.
“Poison Ivy Puncture!”
Poison Ivy Puncture
Level-3 Elite Spell
Use: Creates a bundle of ivy vines that snakes across the ground. These vines are very resilient, highly penetrative, and poisonous. They can pop out of anywhere within 210 feet and attack the enemy.
(Note: exclusive a High Elf spell.)
A flood of vines slithered across the ground, stretching toward Link who was catching up.
Using the delay caused by the Whistle, Link had decreased the distance between them to around 180 feet. Seeing the vines coming for him, he scrutinized the soil for any changes and guided the Wind Fenrir left and right.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
With each explosion, the soil beside Link burst. Bundles of black, thorny vines shot up rapidly. If Link was hit, he would either die or the poison would make him wish he were dead.
Unblinkingly, Link multitasked while dodging the poison ivy. With a slight change of thought, he hurled a Level-1 Vector Protective Force Field at Romilson who was 120 feet away.
While maintaining his summoned unicorn, Romilson focused on controlling the poison ivy to attack Link. Seeing how Link was dodging pathetically, he thought that Link would be unable to cast spells and didn’t give himself any defensive spells.
He was wrong.
The Magicians who practiced with him in the Isle of Dawn couldn’t do it, but that didn’t mean Link couldn’t.
Multitasking with two tasks or even three, and counter-attacking while defending was something every Magician needed to know in a battle. If you couldn’t do it and didn’t want to die, then you should just hide in the back and play nurse.
Boom! Romilson was instantly hit by the force field.
The force field wasn’t very strong, but it was still painful for an average man. Romilson was stronger than most people, yet he still toppled down the unicorn in a jumbled mess.
He dropped his wand too. The unicorn and poison ivy all vanished.
Footsteps approached him. The Wind Fenrir had reached him. Link perched on the Fenrir and pointed the wand at Romilson. The Vector Protective Force Field was in preparation; the semi-transparent force field easily restricted Romilson on the ground.
Romilson stared at Link in disbelief. “You want to kill me? Are you really studying dark magic?”
Link sighed, feeling sad for the High Elf’s brain. He said coldly, “I’m stopping you from killing Princess Milda!”
Romilson was instantly furious. “Kill Princess Milda? Bullsh*t! I’m saving her!”
Link’s patience had a limit too. He pointed in the direction Romilson was heading to. “Is the princess in that direction?”
