A few villagers screamed and hid in the houses next to them, locked the door from the inside and curled up under the table, praying to their gods, as if this would keep the calamity at bay.

However, in response to them was the roar of the collapse of the house.

Unable to withstand the heavy blows from the large monsters, the houses were destroyed one after another, the villagers who had taken refuge in the houses were buried by a mixture of masonry and wood, and the occasional survivor was devoured by the scorpion.

There is no escape in any way, and in the face of predators higher up the food chain, the weak villagers are nothing more than tasty food. Like a human tasting fruit, the scorpion chews the screaming villagers in their mouths, and the blood splatters from their mouths down their throats to their stomachs, which is an absolute delicacy.

Although the owner of the breeder will occasionally feed himself humans, but usually only one or two, for the huge lion scorpion is not enough to eat, but the current situation is different, if it is this number of humans, in addition to eating can also feel the fun of torture, the lion scorpion can't help but be full of gratitude to their master in their hearts.

Enjoying both stomach and mental pleasure, the scorpion let out a roar that brought endless fear to the villagers.

Using its sensitive nose to distinguish the scent in the blood-soaked air, the scorpion turned its gaze to the three humans who were desperately fleeing along the house.

Two female prey and one young male prey, from which only one arm of the female prey exudes the smell that the owner once gave herself.

The scorpion that spotted its target prey flapped its wings, and the resulting winds nearly toppled the surrounding rooftops. The lion scorpion that flew away landed heavily in front of the three Anlia siblings, shaking strongly like an earthquake, causing the three of them to lose their balance and fall to the ground.

The scorpion raised its front paws, and if it was hit by the huge limb, it would undoubtedly turn into a puddle of flesh, but the three of them, who were already too frightened to control their legs, could no longer dodge, and Anlia cried and hugged Nina and Kilo under her.

"Big cat, I won't let you be arrogant anymore, your opponent is me!"

Il, who circled his back with flying magic, unleashed two fireballs in quick succession towards the back of the scorpion's head.

The burning pain from behind him made the lion scorpion a little surprised. It spun around sharply and roared at Eyre.

The wind pressure with a fishy smell made Il's thin body shake in the air.

"Do you have anything else but calling? Big cat! ”

Although his vision shook violently, Il deftly grasped the moment when the scorpion turned around and released a lightning strike into its eyes.

Powerful lightning struck one of the scorpions' eyes, piercing them like a disembodied spear. The scorpion scurried to the side in pain, its huge body completely crushing the house.

"Anya, Nina, Kilo, run! This guy has me to deal with! ”

As the scorpion turned its attention to its own pain, Il shouted to the three people lying on the ground.

As if waiting for this signal, the trio, confused by fear, began to stumble and move after hearing Il's voice.

"Are they okay with that?"

Il muttered with some concern as he watched the figures of the three of them, and his body felt the huge heat coming from directly ahead.

Hurriedly withdrew his gaze, only to see a bright light tumbling in the open mouth of the lion scorpion.

Il, who had a premonition in his heart, hurriedly flew towards the higher sky, and at the same time as he raised his height, the light from the mouth of the lion scorpion turned into a flame and shot out. The position Il had just been in was suddenly engulfed in a huge tongue of fire.

"Ah, yes, it's hot, it's hot!"

Although he barely managed to escape the flames from the scorpion's mouth, Eir's shoes were still on fire.

"You bastard! These are the new shoes that Big Brother Carter bought for me! ”

Ilr took off his burning shoes and looked angrily at the scorpion below.

However, at this moment, the lion scorpion also flapped its wings and pursued. Enraged, the scorpion no longer paid attention to the villagers, even the orders of its master were forgotten, and all it could think about was how to tear the human who had caused it pain to pieces.

"Wait, wait! Good cat, good cat, we have something to say! ”

Facing the rapidly approaching scorpion, Il looked a little flustered, after all, all he wanted to do at first was to lure the scorpion away from the village, and as for what to do next, he hadn't thought about it at all.

"Help, help!"

Il cried out as he flew towards the forest. The scorpion followed him closely, spewing flames at him.

Brilliant tongues of fire bloomed again and again in the air, but no one wanted to stop and admire, and the two people who were chasing quickly, no, were a man and a beast, and plunged into the forest.

Due to the speed of the landing, Il's body lost control and tumbled forward, although the forest ground was not very hard due to the fallen leaves, but it still caused Il's pain to almost faint.

Under the violent impact, the inside of the body must have been fractured, but there was no time for Il to heal himself, because the scorpion also landed, he endured the pain and moved his body, due to the large size of the scorpion, the dense trees can make it difficult for it to find itself, which is why Il will lead the lion scorpion to the forest.

"If I knew, I would have practiced flying!"

Il hid behind a tree and smiled wryly with some chagrin.

There was a violent tremor on the ground that represented the landing of a large creature, and the scorpion looked around, spewing huge flames towards the place where Il was hiding after a roar.

"Why, why are you being discovered, you are cheating!"

Unaware that the scorpion was able to determine the location of its prey through its sense of heat and smell, Il protested dissatisfiedly.

He hurriedly chanted his magic, and the water gathered from all sides formed a ball-shaped shield around his body, and the trees behind him were completely burned in the continuous release of flames.

The prolonged flamespray seemed to make it impossible for the scorpion to breathe flames for the time being, but the trees around Il and behind him for two hundred meters had been burned.

It seems that there is no way to hide, Il thought and frowned, for a mage, the best way to fight is to use magic from the rear of the battlefield to attack from a distance with a warrior class as a striker.

Because magicians who focus on the practice of magic generally lack physical training, if they fight without a striker, they can easily be killed by their opponents in close quarters.

Obviously, it is in a bad state without a striker, and what is worse is that the opponent is still a large monster that is difficult to deal with, which is a battle with almost zero survival rate for Il, who has little combat experience.

"Hey, big cat, I really don't want to see you!"

Although I started to give up on myself a little in my heart, there is no other way but to fight now.

The lion scorpion took a strong step, and the dead leaves were blown into the air by the powerful force, and the ground cracked, and it rushed towards Il at great speed.

"Lord Kilgaru, I'm going to fight with all my might, because it's a last resort!"

Apologizing for violating the rule that only first-class magic could be used by his benefactor, Il was untied from himself.

"Stone steps!"

The timing of the magic release was just right, and the ground in front of Ilr was lifted, and the scorpion that came from the rapid impact pounced on Il. Not feeling lost by swooping down on its prey, the scorpion quickly flicked its tail. Just as the tail of the giant poison needle is too dangerous no matter how you look at it, if it is hit, it will definitely be over, and Il, who judged it in this way, quickly opened the hexagonal shield composed of magical power.

"Magic Shield!"

There was a sound like glass shattering, the magic shield shattered, and the scorpion tail flicked like a whip away.

"It's a tie! Roots entangled! ”

Although even normal breathing can feel the sharp pain from the chest and abdomen, but Il did not choose to treat himself, because at this moment, if he starts to chant healing magic, he will definitely not have time to attack, and what he is facing in front of him is not the kind of easy battle that can calmly make up for mistakes, and a short gap will throw himself into the arms of death, so he can only attack with all his strength, after all, Il is not a god-level magician like Kirgaru who can use magic without chanting.

The scorpion let out a terrifying roar and turned to attack Il, but its body was firmly entangled in the roots of the trees that had grown wildly from the scorched earth. The sharp claws that struck stopped a meter in front of Yir, and although the power of magic temporarily suppressed the movement of the lion scorpion, for such a powerful magical beast, this level of magic would soon be broken free.

The pain in his body made Il feel like vomiting, and his consciousness began to become a little blurry, and if he dragged it on, he would definitely die, so he could only pray that the magic he mastered could bring enough damage to the scorpion.

"Big cat, let's have a showdown!"

Il stared at the scorpion and began to chant magic, and the roots of the tree that wrapped around the scorpion were being torn off, and the claws that could tear flesh apart in an instant were getting closer and closer.

At this moment, the battle has become a race against time, whether to chant the magic first or be torn to flesh by the claws, everything is left to fate.

"Third-order earth magic, stone spear forest!"

With the crunch of the roots being completely torn apart, Il unleashed his magic.

Countless spear-sharp rocks suddenly protruded from beneath the scorpion, pushing its body into the sky. The huge body of the scorpion was swallowed up by a rocky forest covering an area of 500 meters and an average height of more than 50 meters. From above, it looks as if a huge mountain has suddenly risen in the middle of the forest.

"Whew, whew!"

Ilr let out a fierce gasp, wiping the sweat oozing from his forehead with the back of his hand. Due to the heavy bleeding in his body, his feet could no longer support his body, and he fell to the ground.

"It's terrible, we have to start treatment right away."

Being able to defeat such a terrifying opponent made him feel indescribably proud, and he felt the urge to shout to the whole world, but at the same time, he felt quite uneasy about his physical state.

The mixture of these two emotions made Il's mood a little complicated, and he silently shook his lips and sang about healing magic.

However, in front of him, the roar of the demonic beast was heard again in the death spear array created by his own magic.

One by one, the stone spears began to crumble along the line between the center of the rocky forest and Il's location, and the scorpions, covered in blood and madness, approached in a frenzy covered in blood from the activation of this magic. Its eyes, still intact, were bloodshot with intense rage, conveying an obsession that would break Il's bones.

While the power of this magic is quite good, it is clearly not enough to kill the scorpion.

Il stopped chanting the healing spell and put his hand forward, the pain, the numbing pain that made Il's eyes flow with tears, but it was not the time to pass out. If you lose here, everyone in the village will definitely be killed, so, you must not lose.

"I don't want to die here! Lightning strike! ”

Blending strong emotions of anger and unwillingness, Il's roared with the momentum of a lion and scorpion. At the same time, the triple lightning strikes hit the head and waist of the lion scorpion, and the left forelimb respectively, leaving three cavities that continued to flow pus and blood.

But that still didn't stop the approach of the scorpion, which had gone completely berserk.

"I'm sorry, Lord Kilgaru, I'm sorry, everyone, I really don't want to die!"

The scorpion was already in front of him, its sharp claws, fangs, and venomous tail all at the same time.

It was too late to start chanting magic for defense, and in fact, even if he had enough time to chant magic, Il couldn't do that, because he didn't have much magic without formal training, and his meager magic power had been exhausted in the battle just now.

But it's already okay, after all, the lion scorpion is a powerful magical beast with a difficulty of more than six stars, and even a bright yellow level adventurer may not be able to defeat it. And Il, who has not gone through formal magic learning and has little combat experience, can be called a miraculous result to be able to inflict such a lot of damage on the lion scorpion.

Feeling the death coming, Il finally couldn't hold back the sadness in his heart, and sobbed violently like a child.
