“Who… Are you?” Bicky gave a puzzled stare to the guy in front of her.
Leylin’s Shapeshifting spell was still in effect and even his voice was altered through potions. Therefore, Bicky did not recognise Leylin at all.
“A person who has come to save you!” Leylin’s voice was hoarse, and directly locked gazes with the black-haired acolyte.
“An interesting insect. It was you who was hiding in the corner earlier, huh?”
The black-haired acolyte clenched his fist, as blue lightning coiled around it, emitting sparks every now and then.
A few bolts of electricity were shot into the ground, and each exploded, creating many small holes. The shattered stones and mud flew up beside Leylin, and were blocked by his acolyte’s robes and soon fell back to the ground.
“An electric element acolyte and it also seems like his affinity towards it is rather high!”
Leylin gradually withdrew the cross blade hung on his waist, “This will be a tough battle that I never had before!”
To prevent Bicky from recognising him, he could not use some common methods used by Potion Masters. He could only use those that he learnt when he left the academy.
“However, this is also the best chance to test my abilities! Back then in Extreme Night City, Murphy and the rest were all people who had retired, and their battle abilities were rubbish! As for the acolytes in the market, I could not strike, if not I would have become their sworn enemy!”
And this acolyte in front of his was obviously strong in his academy.
Leylin licked his lips and suddenly felt a strong battle desire surging from his chest and spreading to his four limbs. He could even hear the blood which was rapidly coursing, and made his eyes a little bloodshot.
This was a man’s hot bloodedness and desire for battle!
“Haha… Look what I found? Merely a level 1 acolyte who dares to draw a sword against me?”
The black-haired acolyte sneered and his expression became colder and more resolute, “Kiddo! I will give you one last chance. Hurry and kneel to the revered Lord Torash and admit your wrongdoing, and beg for my magnanimity! On account of my good mood, I may even pardon your sins….”
* Shing! *
In an instant, a silver arc of light flashed. It crossed the distance of a dozen metres and struck at the black haired Torash.
The silver arc of light materialised into a cross blade which brought on a heavy killing intent. The aura emitted from it even pressed down on the grasses.
The black-haired Torash had a startled expression. Suddenly, several green runes formed by lightning appeared underneath his leather shoes and crept to his thighs.
As if under some stimulation, Torash jumped backed several metres and avoided the attack.
* Bang! * The cross blade landed and slashed a cross shape hole on the ground.
The grey shadow flashed, and Leylin appeared at the original position of the black-haired acolyte. He gripped the cross blade in his hands and put on a regretful expression.
With some lingering fear, Torash touched his face and felt a gash, which was several centimetres deep, on it.
Although Leylin’s attack earlier did not strike the opponent directly, the force it brought already caused a gash on his face.
“So fast! If not for the hastening lightning rune my professor gave me, I might have been a corpse already!”
Very soon the fear subsided from Torash’s face and it turned into a contorted expression of rage.
“You… You actually dare to harm the mighty Lord Torash, I’m going to kill you!”
However, his rage did not muddle his mind. Although Torash’s expression showed that he couldn’t wait to kill Leylin, he retrieved a scroll from his waist sack.
“I admit that your speed is extremely fast. You should, at least, have the physical ability of a Knight, right? But so what? Although a Knight’s body is stronger than a regular human and is not afraid of steel swords and large axes, it is just meaningless under a magician’s spell!”
* Sssii! * Torash pulled the scroll open, and an icy cold spell was activated, covering the whole of the battlefield.
Countless white mist condensed in the air, turning into ice and spread across the land.
The surrounding temperature decreased by dozens of degrees. Bicky pulled the friend on the ground to the back of Leylin. Her body shivered as she looked at Leylin’s back, obviously grateful and puzzled at the same time.
Although she had no memory of this person, Bicky had a strong feeling that she knew this strong person who had suddenly appeared in front of her.
“Who exactly, are you?” Bicky looked at Leylin’s figure, her expression complicated.
