Of the three, Howen was the most seriously injured. After all, he was the strongest of the three. The assassins earlier had attacked Howen the most. At this moment, his face was pale, and his eyes had become dazed. If it had not been for Serena and Klein holding him up, he would not have been able to walk at all.
“Puu ~ ~ ~”
Howen spat out a mouthful of blood and almost fell. Fortunately, Klein and Serena quickly held him up. Serena said anxiously, “Senior, hang in there. Senior Fiona has been gone for a long time. She should be in Winterfrost by now. I think there will be reinforcements coming to our rescue. If they come, we will be saved.”!!
“Hahaha, you still hope for reinforcements? Dream on. You don’t have a chance anymore. Die here!” A voice sounded. When the three of them heard it, their expressions changed drastically. This was because this voice had come from the strongest among the five who had been hunting them down.
Upon hearing the voice, the three of them immediately became alert. Sure enough, a dark blue magical flame was going to attack them from behind. Klein was already prepared. Seeing this, he quickly cast a magic shield. The dark blue magical flame hit the magic shield and instantly lit up his magic shield. Klein threw the magic shield out directly, but the dark blue magical flame continued to burn even after it had fallen to the ground, as if it would not extinguish at all.
“Quick, run!” Klein said anxiously. The three of them knew that they were no match for him and were about to leave quickly, but it was already too late. Two people had already appeared in front of them with a ‘Swoosh!’. There were also people on their left and right blocking their path. The most powerful person had also walked over from behind. Now, the path in all four directions had been blocked. There was no way to escape!
However, even though they had completely surrounded the three of them, they did not dare to attack rashly because they were afraid that the three of them would launch a final counterattack. They had magic scrolls on them that could kill them. These magic scrolls were powerful consumable items that only a Great Archmage could create. Typically, such magic scrolls would have a powerful magical power sealed in them. As they were consumable items, the materials used were also precious. Hence, they were all made by Great Archmagi, and the magical power contained in them was comparable to a full-strength attack by a Great Archmage. Each of these magic scrolls was very precious. They were worth tens or even hundreds of Magic Stones per scroll. An ordinary person would not be able to use them at all. However, they were students of the Sky Blue Magic Academy, so it was normal for them to have the magic scrolls. Originally, there were not five of these assassins, but eight. The three missing ones had been killed by Howen and Klein’s magic scrolls. With three of them dead, they were even more cautious. As they were not sure if the other party had used all their magic scrolls, they did not dare to attack rashly, in case the other party counterattacked and hurled a magic scroll at them. Such a powerful magical power was not something which they could block as mere Great Magi.
At this moment, Howen and the other two were also very nervous. They had not expected that they, being distinguished top students of the Sky Blue Magic Academy, would end up in such a sorry state. At this moment, Howen no longer had any magic scrolls. Only Klein still had one in his hand, but he only had one. This was a life-saving item. Once it was used, he would not have any trump cards. Therefore, he dared not use it recklessly.
Seeing that all the exits had been surrounded, and that on her side, Senior Howen had already been seriously injured and could die at any moment, Serena’s expression suddenly froze, and a determined look could be seen. Then, she took out a pearl which was emitting electric arcs continuously and held it tightly in her hand. She poured her magical power continuously into this pearl, and instantly, a large amount of electric arcs were released, as if it would explode at any moment.
When the few assassins saw the pearl in Serena’s hand, their expressions changed drastically. They quickly took a few steps back, away from the pearl. As expected of people from the Sky Blue Magic Academy, they had too many life-saving items on them. They had originally thought that they no longer had anything powerful, but now, they had actually taken out a Thunder Pearl. If this thing exploded, then all of them would die.
Serena glared fiercely at them and said, “Aren’t you here to kill us? Come, at most, we perish together!”
Upon seeing this, Klein and Howen were both shocked. Klein said, “Junior, if you…” If Serena were to detonate the Thunder Pearl now, the two of them would probably die as well.
Serena said, “Seniors, they will definitely kill us now. Since this is the case, what’s there to hold back? Even if we die, we must drag them with us!”
The two of them were silent when they heard this. When the few assassins heard this, they were also terrified, and they dared not go forward. Although they killed without blinking, they were unwilling to die.
Seeing that no one wanted to go forward, they could not remain in a stalemate like this, the strongest level-6 Great Mage said, “Don’t be afraid, everyone. Let’s all attack together. We just have to kill her before she detonates the Thunder Pearl.”
Hearing this, these assassins wanted to attack together, but they saw Serena injecting more magical power into the Thunder Pearl, and instantly, the electric arcs released by the Thunder Pearl increased, as if it would explode at any moment. Serena also said crazily, “Come on, why aren’t you coming!”
The assassins looked at each other, not daring to be the first to go forward. They were also afraid of death.
“Watch out.” Just as they were in a deadlock, Klein suddenly sensed a murderous aura boring out from the ground. He suddenly pushed Howen and Serena out of the way. He also used the force of the push to take a step back. The ground where they were originally standing split open, and then a large stretch of sharp stalagmites emerged. If Klein had not been alert, the three of them would have been pierced by the stalagmites and become candied haws on a stick. As Klein retreated, he threw the last magic scroll in his hand in one direction.
Boom!
Once the magic scroll was thrown out, it instantly turned into a huge fireball. This fireball was no ordinary fireball. It was a high-temperature fireball released by a Great Archmage. It could instantly turn a person into carbon. After it had been thrown, a scream could be heard.. Soon after, a man in black clothes ran out from the place where he had been attacked and continued to extinguish the flames on his body.
