Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 319 - 131 Dream-Eating Silkworm (Please Collect)_3
HMM!
Even though his body was ethereal, Carl couldn’t help but groan as he was forcibly pulled out of his intangible state.
If it had hit him directly...
He would have died!
Even a Legendary Knight would have died!
"Carl!"
Marian’s cry of alarm rang in his ears. A white light flickered before him, and her figure appeared.
"Are you alright?"
"I’m fine!"
"Thank goodness!"
Marian’s face was filled with excitement, her eyes full of concern. Seeing that Carl offered no response, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"I’m fine."
Carl spoke, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. Marian’s concern seems a bit excessive, and her gaze is strange. Could she have developed feelings for me?
PAH!
One of the biggest delusions men have is thinking a woman has fallen for them.
Besides, this is no time to consider whether someone has feelings or not, but how to escape.
"Watch out!"
"Flash Body Spell!"
Marian grabbed Carl, plunged her Magic Wand into the ground, and in an instant, they both turned into a streak of light, dashing more than ten meters away.
In Carl’s perception, their speed was almost Instant Teleportation, incomprehensibly fast.
"BOOM!"
The spot where they had just been standing exploded from a witchcraft attack, sending dirt flying and stirring up a cloud of dust.
"You go first!"
Marian’s arm shook as she threw Carl forward, simultaneously pointing her Magic Wand lightly at him,
"Blessing of the Wind Spirit!"
Carl felt an invisible force envelop him. Every cell in his body seemed to stir, making him feel so light he could have soared into the air with just a light tap of his foot.
But the sensation was fleeting.
"All Spells Return!"
With a low shout from the nearby jungle, the enchantments on him were broken instantly.
Not only was the Blessing of the Wind Spirit, a First Ring witchcraft, nullified, but the Lesser Wizard Force Field and his control over gravity were also rendered ineffective.
Even his spiritual power was somewhat suppressed.
Wizard!
Only an Official Wizard possessed such formidable power.
「Elsewhere.」
"ROAR!"
The Stone Statue Ghost spread its wings, clutching the two younger members of the Cape family, and soared into the sky, attempting to escape the battlefield.
"HMPH!"
"Thinking of escaping?"
A cold voice sounded in mid-air. A pitch-black scythe appeared out of nowhere, striking at the Stone Statue Ghost.
The scythe was enormous, about ten meters long, silently severing one of the Stone Statue Ghost’s wings.
"ROAR!"
The Stone Statue Ghost cried out in agony and fell heavily from the sky.
However, in its moment of pain, its hands violently threw the two people it was carrying far away, helping them escape the battlefield.
At the same moment, Carl was also fleeing the heart of the battlefield with Marian’s help, sprinting deep into the dense forest.
"Damn it!"
Has she really fallen for me?
Carl muttered to himself, but his feet dared not stop moving.
An Official Wizard’s lethality was too terrifying; even his Legendary Knight’s Constitution was not enough.
Run!
Towards the market? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Or in the opposite direction?
The direction of the market might hold an ambush.
The opposite direction could lead to attacks from assassins and also meant facing the unknown dangers deep within the Magic Forest.
Carl’s thoughts shifted as he ran towards a direction between the two.
He didn’t need to escape too far, just far enough from the battlefield to hide in a Divine Domain Fragment to ensure his safety.
Moreover, this is likely an assassination aimed at the Cape family. I’m not on the list, so theoretically, I shouldn’t be targeted too much.
「...」
"SWOOSH!"
"SWOOSH! SWOOSH!"
Millie’s face turned pale as her figure flickered, dashing forward.
As one of the promising young members of the Cape family, she possessed an item given by her family to save her life.
The Blink Bracelet!
An Advanced Magic Item that enhanced movement and dodging abilities.
With her inherent qualities and the witchcraft she cast, her speed could now compare to that of a Legendary Knight.
Even surpass it!
"Millie."
A familiar voice rang in her ear,
"Stop running."
"You can’t escape."
Millie’s body stiffened as if struck by a freezing spell. After a long pause, she slowly turned around.
"Strider!"
Looking at the tall, well-built, handsome man before her, Millie’s eyes were filled with a complex mix of disbelief, sadness, and deep pain.
She knew him.
And very well, too. After all, he was once her fiancé.
"It’s me."
Strider slowly drew his magic Longsword from his waist, staring at Millie,
"You didn’t expect I was still alive, did you?"
"..." Millie opened her mouth,
"Was it you who brought the assassin, just for revenge?"
"Shouldn’t I?" Strider scoffed,
"Back then, your Cape family caused the death of many in our family. If not for my luck, I would have died then too."
"I ought to seek revenge!"
Millie turned pale.
「...」
Still following?
Carl furrowed his brows and glanced back. Although there was no one behind him and all seemed calm, his senses told him someone was tracking him.
"BANG!"
His thigh muscles trembled, and his speed suddenly increased.
Battle Skill—Rapid Movement!
This Battle Skill, learned from Quincy’s memory, was typical of a Great Knight level.
It accelerated his straight-line running.
Combined with his Legendary Knight’s Constitution, his speed increased once more; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was lightning-swift.
「Soon.」
"What’s going on?"
Carl’s face darkened as he looked back,
"Still chasing?"
"SWOOSH!"
His body leaped high. Just as he was about to land, a sudden premonition arose, and he stepped on the air, rushing forward.
Battle Skill—Stepping on the Air!
"BOOM!"
The spot where he was about to land burst into flames.
After landing, Carl didn’t continue running. Instead, he suddenly turned and charged towards the dense woods behind him.
If I can’t escape, I might as well fight.
Since the pursuer hasn’t caught up to me after so long, they surely aren’t an Official Wizard. With that in mind, I don’t need to be afraid.
