Chapter 305 - Against the Clock! (2/2)

Damn it! I cannot stay here! Time is really tight now!

Olisa was a Level-7 Magician and was extremely intelligent. If Link even made a slight change to her bedroom, she would definitely notice the difference, and Link would be fully exposed!

This little mistake cost Link his time to search the stone castle of Duke Osiris in peace. If he was lucky, he still had half an hour in here. However, if he was not, he would only have 15 minutes left.

He was playing with his life!

After a few moments of thinking, Link felt that he could not afford such a huge risk.

But how could he lower the risks? This was a huge problem.

Link was truly in a pinch. Just when he was almost out of options, he heard faint voices around him. It was the sound of footsteps. They were extremely light.

It was a woman…Wait, the other party did not conceal her magic presence. It was Olisa!

Did she come back so soon? And she was alone? Link suddenly felt his heart thump quickly. He thought of a crazy idea which instantly took form in his mind. It propelled him to walk closer towards the door as he waited patiently with his wand in his hand.

Half a minute later, the door was pushed open. A woman in a black-dress appeared.

Half a second after she entered her room, she felt something was amiss. The wand in her hand then started to glow as magic fluctuations appeared around her. Clearly, she had already noticed the peculiarities in the room and instinctively began to defend.

However, it was too late!

Link was faster than her in both reaction time and spellcasting speed. Taking note of the fact that Olisa was of the dragon race who was known for their durability, he unleashed the full force of his most powerful spell, the Demon Slayer whip.

The Demon Slayer ship was a principle-type spell. Although it was Level-8 in strength, the magic fluctuations that it emanated were extremely faint. Link could also control the scale of the spell freely. It was the perfect spell to use in an ambush attack!

Crack! A blood crystal whip around nine feet in length appeared. The energy within the whip exploded instantly and struck Olisa on the back of her head.

Although the spell was small in scale, it was a Level-8 spell nonetheless. As long as one was strike with the full force of this spell, they would definitely die. At that moment, Olisa displayed her extraordinary talents.

A red glow enveloped her body as dragon scales started covering her vital points. She also capitalized on the dragon’s fast reaction time to move forward slightly, making sure that the whip missed her vitals.

Following which, a white light enveloped her body. It was a transportation spell!

Crack! Link managed to hit her back, though a large portion of the impact was absorbed by the dragon scales. The remaining force was still extremely destructive. Olisa’s battle armor immediately shattered as she vomited blood. That was the last thing Link saw before she was transported away.

Link then stared at the floor. There was a pool of boiling blood on the ground with a few pieces of damaged organs mixed within. This meant that Link’s spell had infiltrated to the core of Olisa’s body, dealing extreme damage.

Olisa must be heavily injured. It would be impossible for her to rush back even if she wanted to!

This unexpected ambush attack had won Link some time.

He swiftly exited Olisa’s bedroom and ran towards the study room he had set his sights on. He had already memorized the location, and it only took him ten seconds to reach his destination.

At the moment when he entered the study room, footsteps sound could be heard from the corridor. Guards of the stone castle had heard the commotion on the second floor and had come to investigate the situation.

This was fine. They did not know about the details of the fight and would definitely enter Olisa’s room first to gather information. He would use this buffer time to act.

He had to act fast!

There was a huge bookshelf in the study room and a study table beside it. There were many letters and scrolls sprawled across it. It was impossible to check all of them one by one.

Link then went for the ultimatum. He ran around the study room and put away everything that had words on them into his dimensional pendant. This included all letters, book, magic scrolls and so on.

That was not all.

Link circled the study table for a closer inspection and finally located the secret compartment. He muttered, “Tsk, the Duke has no creativity.”

There were a few more letters within the secret compartment.

Upon collecting those letters, a message appeared in Link’s field of vision.

Link accepted the mission without hesitation. He then jumped out of the window of the study room immediately. While he was in mid-air, he cast a Traceless spell and a Levitation spell on himself, erasing all his traces.

Just when he was about to land, he heard a roar of astonishment and horror from the second floor, “It’s a burglar!”

How could anyone stay calm after seeing that Duke Osiris’ study room had been ransacked?
