Chapter 132
Translator: Leo Editor: DarkGem/Frappe
In the morning .
It was a cloudy day . A sea of trees was leaning due to the strong wind . The noise they made drove the birds away . Several dark birds soared through the sky from time to time .
Between the trees, there was a black carriage slowly advancing along a gray path . Strangely enough, there was no coachman sitting in its driving seat .
Suddenly, the window of the carriage was opened by a pale hand, showing a brown-haired young man sitting inside . He was glancing at the bushes with his brows furrowed .
He looked at the left side of the path . There were many trees and bushes blocking his sight .
The trees’ sizes varied . He felt like he was inside a primeval forest .
"Halt!" The man suddenly stopped the horses .
The wheels stopped gradually as the horse slowed down while breathing heavily .
The young man opened the door and jumped off the carriage . He then quickly walked to the roadside . There was a black crossguard sword hanging over his waist, and on his back, there was a large metal longbow along with a full quiver . The man’s body was strong and his action was quick .
The man looked like an experienced hunter with a pair of clean-looking silver armor gloves on his hands .
He stomped on the ground several times and moved his feet around .
"You think I’m really going to fall for this? At least hide yourselves better . " The man sneered . He glared at the bushes in front of him and pulled an arrow out of his quiver .
***********************
Inside the forest .
One black robe and two gray robes were trying to ambush Angele from the bushes, it was Maryland and his apprentices . They hid behind a large tree and slowed down their breathing, listening to the noises coming from the path .
There was a short wooden crossbow in Maryland’s hand, already loaded with a special arrow . The arrow was coated in a white glow . It looked like it was made from white jade .
"Master, I think he’s already here . We just heard him making noises, right? I think he’s coming for us," the male Wizard apprentice whispered .
"Don’t worry, stay here . "
*CHI*
A ray of black light flew toward the female Wizard apprentice on the side .
*DANG*
A red barrier appeared around the female Wizard apprentice’s body . The black arrow was blocked, causing it to deviate its path and pierce the tree beside .
The three were surprised by the attack . They looked at the black iron arrow on the tree and realized that Angele had already detected their positions .
"Watch out!" Maryland suddenly shouted .
The female Wizard apprentice turned her head around after hearing Maryland’s warning .
*BAM*
It seemed that her barrier was on cooldown as another black iron arrow struck her forehead . Her skullcap was broken into pieces . Blood mixed with brain matter splashed everywhere .
The female Wizard apprentice’s eyes were wide open . She died before knowing what had happened, and her body fell to the ground .
"Ria!" the male Wizard apprentice shouted in fear .
"God damn!" He pressed his left wrist with his right hand and chanted something .
After two seconds, he vanished into the air . A faint distortion moved through the bushes while leaving footprints on the muddy ground .
Maryland raised his short crossbow, white light coming out of his eyes . His expression was solemn as he was trying to catch every movement on the other side of the bush .
Maryland heard footsteps of a person walking on the dry leaves on the ground . A strapping man slowly walked out of the shadows .
Angele put his hand on the handle of his crossguard sword and stepped on a large stone . He was glaring at Maryland .
"I knew it was you, Maryland . " The young man who had a pair of sharp eyes was speaking in a calm tone .
Maryland licked his lips .
"Angele, I didn’t expect you to detect us first . Liliana found herself a good disciple . But why did you reveal yourself, you should’ve stayed in the bushes . " He quickly aimed at Angele with his crossbow .
"Delan Siro, Frozen Death!"
The white arrow left the short crossbow and drew an arc in the air . It was flying at full speed, with only a white light dot indicating its direction .
Maryland threw the crossbow to the ground and took out a small bottle from his pouch . He then removed the stopper and poured some light-yellow powder onto his palm, sprinkling it into the air .
He was invoking incantations that Angele had never heard of before . A ball of white light slowly appeared in front of him . The light ball lit up the area, and a high-pitched scream was coming out of it .
As the scream became louder, Maryland pushed the light ball forward with his hands . The light ball traveled slowly in the air, approaching Angele .
Angele drew his crossguard sword . He turned around and started running . His body turned into a blurry gray shadow among the bushes . The white arrow dodged the trees and was pursuing him from behind . It only took the arrow several seconds to catch up, and it exploded in the air as soon as Angele slowed down .
*BOOM*
The explosion produced a white mist that surrounded Angele in the middle .
Countless layers of ice started spreading in the area, but Angele walked out of ice mist within seconds .
A thin layer of silver metal covered his body . The ice mist was blocked before it could reach his skin .
*Crack*
The silver metal on Angele’s skin dropped to the ground . It then melted into a liquid ball and floated in the air .
The ice barrier in the air was broken into pieces by Angele’s twisted power and dropped to the grass on the ground . Angele touched the surface of the silver metal . It turned into a large silver shield that covered his body .
The white light ball finally reached Angele and smashed against the silver shield with great impact .
*BAM*
The white light broke into seemingly infinite tiny light dots, flying to Angele from all angles .
Angele held his sword with both hands and slashed forward without hesitation .
The blade melted and turned into a group of tiny metal particles . They started intercepting the white light dots in the air .
Once more, all the white light dots exploded after the collision with the metal particles . The explosion created many broken ice pieces mixed with metal ashes .
Angele quickly stepped back and dropped the remaining handle of his sword .
He waited for the hail in front of him to stop . Maryland could not believe what he had just witnessed .
Angele raised his hand again and created another silver crossguard sword .
He suddenly turned around and slashed forward . An invisible man revealed himself after being cut into half on the empty ground .
It was the male Wizard apprentice who tried to attack Angele from behind . His eyes were wide open and his body was sliced into two . The man was holding a small black ball in his right hand, which had moving silver patterns on the surface of the ball .
The stench of blood spread in the air as the man’s organs emerged on the ground .
"You’re the last one . " Angele turned around and blocked an incoming ice lance with his sword .
Angele waved his hand . The metal ashes on the ground slowly floated into the air .
He then pointed his finger at Maryland .
Countless tiny metal needles started flying toward Maryland .
Angele wasted no time and charged forward . He held his crossguard sword tight . When he was about four or five meters away from Maryland, he swung his sword and its shape shifted in the air . The sword became thinner but much longer than before .
*CLANG*
The tip of the sword stopped before it could hit Maryland . A white ice barrier appeared in front of him that successfully blocked Angele’s attack .
Maryland’s face turned pale from fright as leaned against the tree behind him . He did not try to stop Angele from attacking . He only kept doing weird hand gestures while invoking an incantation . A white glow appeared on the tip of his fingers .
The white ice barrier in front of him blocked all the metal projectiles . It sounded like rain dropping onto a window .
Maryland looked at Angele and increased the speed of his incantation . A diamond-shaped crystal slowly appeared in front of his body, it rotated while glowing and it seemed like the crystal contained some mysterious strong power .
Beside the white barrier in front of Maryland was a translucent ice barrier that only appeared when some of the metal needles attacked him from the behind . This barrier had only revealed itself after being hit .
"Die!" Maryland’s expression changed . He pushed the crystal toward Angele with both of his hands .
Maryland looked tired after completing the strongest spell he knew . Two Wizards from Northland Alliance had been slain by it during the war . The cost of the spell was half of his reserves . Most of his mentality and mana was consumed by it .
Maryland ran to the side after the crystal was completed . He grabbed several blue mana potions from his pouch and poured them into his mouth one after another . Those potions could help him recover mana and mentality, but it took time, and he would not be able to cast the next spell immediately . He turned his head around and looked at Angele .
The speed of the crystal was fast, that Angele had to withdraw .
*CLANG*
He struck the crystal with the sword, but it was so hard that his arms turned numb .
"Raymancrisa Ignis…" Angele chanted an incantation in a low voice . Four lines of red flame gathered in front of Angele’s chest and turned into a fist-sized fireball .
The fireball grew larger and its color became darker .
Angele pushed the fireball forward and it hit the incoming crystal .
*BOOM*
After the explosion, flames and pieces of ice blocks all flew toward Angele . He quickly conjured another silver metal shield and tried to block the approaching projectiles .
