Chapter 11: The Last Stand
The hands of time began to slowly turn from the early morning to dawn, the darkest time of the day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoA thick dark cloud slowly drifted in front of the moon, obscuring the ubiquitous silver moonlight, and the earth fell into darkness again. Darkness and cold always followed, and the humidity in the forest began to become heavier, and the sleeping animals hiding in the caves subconsciously curled up their bodies to maintain the temperature of their bodies as much as possible to resist the sudden cold.
A gust of night wind blew through the fire, blowing the flames that were still burning crookedly, as if they were about to be completely extinguished in the next moment. The fire, which had been burning for most of the night, was still emitting light and heat, but it was no longer able to resist the darkness and cold.
Leo didn't feel any cold at the moment, his body was constantly scorching by the holy flame emitted by Anthony, this holy flame was supposed to be warm and hopeful, but at this moment it was like a bloodthirsty golden fire snake greedily ****ing Leo's body inch by inch
γ Leo only felt that Anthony's left hand was like a red-burning soldering iron constantly moving on his body, and the unparalleled pain and furiousness occupied the entire mind of the magic apprentice, making him roar like a primitive beast, desperately struggling to get rid of this terrible torture comparable to cramps and broken bones, but Anthony's right hand was like an iron hand made of steel, and Leo's whole person was firmly lifted in the air, No matter how much Leo struggled, he couldn't make that rock-solid palm move, even a single penny.
Suddenly, the painful burning sensation from Leo's lower abdomen disappeared, but before Leo could breathe a sigh of relief, Anthony suddenly locked his throat with his hand, and the young magic apprentice's face turned red, his feet stomped desperately in the air, and his hands tried to break Anthony's hands - but all in vain. Anthony's words with a hint of cruelty and excitement penetrated Leo's ears: "Say! Where the hell is Shengdan! β
"Hmm." Leo's throat made a muffled sound, and Anthony was overjoyed when he saw this, and said, "You are finally willing to say it?" β
Leo nodded vigorously, but since Anthony's hand was still locking his throat like an iron lock, the action almost made Leo lose his breath. Anthony looked at Leo, who was rolling his eyes, frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then threw him to the ground like a chicken, and shouted in a deep voice, "You have ten seconds." β
Leo, who fell to the ground, gasped for breath, the sparse flames on the fire not far away beside him couldn't even shine a whole picture of Anthony's face in front of him in this darkness, the cold in the air kept stimulating the pores of his body, and there were bursts of heart-piercing pain and a strange fragrance in the lower abdomen that had been burned by the holy flames-the smell of his body being burned, Leo's whole consciousness began to become a little groggy, and he always felt that his body was a little uncontrollable, It seems to be able to go away with the wind like a fallen leaf at any time. "Aha!" The magic apprentice suddenly let out a somewhat strange laugh, and then struggled to speak: "Come here, I'll tell you the hiding place of the Holy Dan." β
"Oh?" Anthony's face was happy again, and he couldn't help but smile: "I know, sure enough, you hid the Holy Dan, dear Leo, then please tell me where it is, I don't think it will be too far from us, will it?" β
Leo smiled bitterly and said, "That's true, but you'd better keep your ears on it, lespβ" Leo deliberately glanced into the darkness behind him, although his eyes could not see the figure of Anthony's henchman Ada through the darkness, but he clearly expressed his meaning - you can just listen to yourself.
Anthony was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, took a few steps forward and squatted in front of Leo, and said to Leo, "Now you can talk about it." β
Leo smiled, but the action touched the wound and made him grin again, but he recovered in time before Anthony could show an impatient look, and reached out and whispered in Anthony's ear, "Die, idiot." β
"Boom!" With a muffled voice, Anthony's figure was suddenly knocked into the air, and then fell heavily on the ground a few meters away, Leo's right hand seemed to have been blown up by explosives, and the wound on his abdomen was suddenly torn open, and a stream of red blood flowed out, and a magical aura remained around him for a few seconds before slowly dissipating into the night wind. However, Leo didn't even have time to think about his injuries, but looked a little nervously and expectantly in the direction in which Anthony fell to the ground - was he dead?
"Hahahaha!" A burst of wild laughter suddenly came into Leo's ears, causing the magic apprentice's heart to sink instantly, and the whole person was like falling into an ice cave: "Dear Leo, I have to admit that you have indeed surprised me again and again today, but unfortunately, a fireball technique that is only equivalent to a third-level magician is not enough for a fifth-level magician like me to die." As soon as the words fell, Anthony's figure appeared again in the already crumbling firelight.
Leo struggled to keep his eyes open, trying to see everything in front of him. Anthony's well-cut clothes were now dirty, and a large hole had been punched in his chest by the fireball spell, revealing a layer of glittering silver armor inside. The armor, which resembled underwear, was clearly a treasure, and although the surface was blackened by the power of magic, it protected Anthony's chest without any damage. However, even if the fireball technique did not break through the armor's protection, the impact of the magic still passed into Anthony's body, causing a few faint traces of blood to appear at the corners of his mouth unconsciously, coupled with his eyes that kept flashing with cold light, making this handsome face look extremely hideous in the firelight.
"How did you get hurt like that?" Leo sighed in disappointment, as an apprentice magician, it was certainly impossible for Leo to perform even a real spell. This fireball scroll with full power of three levels was obtained by him in exchange for all the credits of his eight years in the Prona Academy of Magic and Magic, for which he also specially made a very secret layer in his clothes to hide this scroll, it is obvious that Anthony's henchman Ada was not careful about Leo's body search, and Anthony never thought that a mere magic apprentice could hurt himself who was already a fifth-level magician, otherwise with his life experience of not knowing how many times he had been assassinated, How could Leo be given such a good chance to sneak attack? Unfortunately, even though Leo had done everything as perfectly as possible, he still couldn't bridge the huge gap between the two sides - the gap between him and Anthony was really too big.
Anthony smirked, took a few steps forward, and then suddenly reached out and locked Leo's neck, lifting him up again: "Dear Leo, it seems that you will not be willing to cooperate with me, right?" Do you think that if you don't open your mouth, I won't dare to kill you because of the Holy Pill? Let me tell you, among the magic I have learned, there is precisely one function of the magic - search for memories! Just wait until I find what I'm looking for in your mind, and thenβ" Anthony grinned, his words full of cruelty and coldness, "You'll regret why it fell into my hands." Anthony's left hand once again glowed with holy power, and then slapped Leo's forehead with a palm.
A dazzling white light suddenly erupted around the fire, and at the same time there was a terrifying voice: "No! β
The voice didn't seem to be Leo's.
