Chapter X

A rope descended from the sky, wrapped around her waist like a snake, and the next moment, Willy's body soared into the air and quickly flew into the distance, beside her, the rest of the team was tied to the other three ropes, and above them, Rhaegar flew forward with four ropes like a large octopus with all its tentacles grasping its preyβ€”in Hanar, he had rescued four explorers by this method.

Attath roared in the sky, and the vipers that were closer to it fell prey to its fury, the sonic waves shattering their internal organs, but this had no effect on the enemies flying in the sky, and the only thing the flying beasts could do was to watch them farther and farther away in anger.

Flying is a kind of magic that consumes a lot of mana, even an archmage can only fly twenty kilometers alone, and as a sixth-order mage, with four people, two kilometers is already the limit of Rhaegar, after landing, the almost collapsed Rhaegar can only be carried by Nack again.

They were only out of danger temporarily, two kilometers was not a long distance, no one knew if the beast that was about to go crazy would catch up, and with the help of the acceleration technique that still had its effect, the team continued to move forward until it was almost dark.

"How does it feel?" Haim asked with concern, looking at Rhaegar who was still pale. He didn't completely discourage the mage, but he was deeply moved by the performance of the other party at the most critical moment: it turned out that Rhaegar could have escaped on his own, and if it hadn't been for his last magic efforts, Willy and Tomahawk, and even him and Nack, would have been killed by the enraged Athas, and the elves who knew something about magic knew what it meant for a mage to run out of magic, which could lead to the latter's permanent loss of magical abilities or even death.

"I need to meditate," Rhaegar said weakly, his Primal Agents had already replenished his consumption, but in order to carry out the plan to the end, he had to pretend that he might pass out at any moment, "Don't let anyone disturb me until I wake up." ”

The battle with Athas was not fierce or thrilling, but it had an important meaning for Rhaegar : it was like a person digging a well, maybe a few days of hard work would not yield anything, but suddenly, just for a moment, the underground spring water would gush out, and after a long communication with the Elemental Energy, while fighting the monster, he felt that the connection between himself and the Origin Energy had become even closer, and if they were just close companions, then at this moment, they had become relatives by blood。

Calculating the time, Rhaegar reluctantly withdrew from the exchange with the Primordial Particle, ending his meditation.

"Looks like you're recovering well," Heim first noticed Rhaeggar's awakening, handing the food he had already baked, "If it weren't for you, we would all have been killed by that monster." ”

"I brought you there, and it is my duty to get you out of danger. Rhaegar took a bite of food, his flesh still not freed from the need for food, "In fact, if you hadn't returned in time, I wouldn't have been able to survive until my mana was restored and I would have been eaten by Atas." ”

"In that case, I'll rip that big fellow's belly open and pull you out of there," said the dwarf viciously, "and then shove you into the monster's belly for breaking your promise!"

"As punishment," Nack suddenly said, who was busy preparing food, "you must eat the whole pheasant, you know, I have been busy for two hours to be able to fulfill my wish to punish a mage." ”

The sub-giant's words made everyone laugh, and even the normally calm Heim had a smile on his lips. Seeing this, Rhaegar knew that he had managed to gain the trust of most of them, and that they would be his most loyal allies on the rest of his journey through the swamp.

But at the same time, there was another emotion creeping up in his heart, and he vaguely felt a feeling that he could only have when he was with the original ability.

Due to the lack of time to identify the direction during the flight, and the panic of the explorers after landing, Rhaegar and the others had already deviated far from the original route, and the companions had to walk all day in the dense forest to return to the correct route.

"I have good news and bad news for you," Rhaegar said to the team after comparing the scene with the magic map in his hand, "The good news is that we have stumbled close to the edge of the forest, and we will reach the swamp in less than a day from here, the bad news is," he put away the magic map and looked around at his companions who were looking at him, "I found some things that are not on the map, and they may cause us problems." ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the trees across the river in the distance, "See there?" he said, "If you wade through this river and continue on, you can get out of this forest, but my magic tells me that there are some magical beasts inhabiting there right now." ”

No one can take these creatures from the lower realms and their descendants in the mortal world lightly, in fact, if it weren't for their small numbers and most of them scattered in the most remote places, these magical beasts would have become a catastrophe for the intelligent creatures of the mortal world - Atas is a good example, this magical beast that can control poisonous snakes at will is enough to destroy a city like Hannar if it were to attack the city.

"What kind of magical beast?" Haim knew very well what kind of power a sixth-order mage had, and it was obviously highly dangerous to be able to make such a powerful existence have scruples.

"It's a bunch of Timbergens," Rhaegar replied, "they're not very powerful, but when they're in the woods and they're numerous, they're hard to beat. At the time of this map, there were no monsters like the Wood Demon and Atas in the forest, and something must have happened here in the last fifty years. ”
