Chapter 163 - The Prince (1/2)

Reinier was quick to attack Evan, he didn't see him as an opponent. Evan was weak and slow by his standards. Though Reinier was puzzled by the one-eyed raven sitting on Evan's shoulder, he did not dwell on it. The raven was strong, but Reinier had no problem handling it.

Evan instantly cast the ”Ice Veil” and then the ”Magic Missile”. Honestly, he didn't see any way to win this fight. He needed to somehow buy time and find a way to escape to survive. It was the best option he could hope for.

Reinier took a step to the side and dodged the beam flying at him.

”No need to resist, the outcome is already decided.” Calmly Reinier said, and the lightning bolts began to accumulate in his hand.

They turned into a long spear that he threw at Evan. The speed of the throw was extraordinary, Evan had no time to dodge this attack.

Boom.

Suddenly a purple beam hit the spear and there was a deafening explosion. The raven fought together with Evan, for Reinier was going to kill it as well. It was an evolved monster, and therefore very valuable.

<Damn it, he's too strong, how do I get out of this trap>. While Evan was trying to think of a plan, and Reinier was already near him.

He attacked the young man sharply, aiming for his head. Evan reacted and blocked the blow, but suddenly he felt a terrible pain in his stomach. Reinier had struck several blows at once, sending the young man flying.

Reinier put his attention to Evan's unusual weapon: ”AHAHAHA, what a good weapon you have, I think I'll take it for myself, it'll probably be worth a lot.” Said Reinier with a satisfied smile on his face.

Evan got up and decided to attack again, and the raven attacked Reinier together with him. But, their attacks were again unsuccessful. With one smooth blow, Reinier tossed the raven aside.

Whoosh.

Evan swung the scythe, but Reinier took a few steps back and said: ”Nice movements, but you lack speed.”

Bam.

Reinier spun around and hit Evan with all his might.

His palm slammed into the young man`s chest and he was thrown back several meters and bumped into a tree.

Blood trickled from the corners of his lips. Not even a few minutes into their fight, and he was already nearly defeated.

<Damn, if I miss a few more of these blows, I'll be dead for sure. I wouldn`t like to use it now, but in this goddamn forest, no one will notice me.>

”Hey, how have you managed to make friends with a monster? It's the first time I've seen anything like that, you're a pretty interesting person. Learn me how to interact with monsters and I'll spare you. Just kidding!”

Reinier lunged toward Evan. He could have finished the young man off with a spell, but he saw no need to waste mana on it now. In his opinion, Evan had no chance of surviving.

Whoosh.

Suddenly Evan moved the scythe into the spatial ring and a red glow began to emanate from him.

”Huh, I wouldn't tell you, even if I knew. You annoy me too much.” Evan said coldly and the next moment a huge snake appeared around his hand.

Reinier was dumbfounded. He sensed incredible danger from this snake, and Evan's aura grew considerably in an instant.

”What a creepy feeling...” Reinier muttered and stepped aside.
