Chapter 21: Defeat and retreat
The long-term stalemate with Lyman also made Xiaobai's physical strength greatly damaged, the magic rampage is indeed powerful, but it will have great damage and backlash to himself, just like the berserker, the berserk state is a short-lived ability, after use, people will have a strong sense of dizziness, and the strength is greatly reduced, so the berserker will generally choose to fight quickly to achieve the goal, for them a long war of attrition is never a good thing.
After the magic storm, Xiaobai obviously lost his original calm, although his strength increased sharply, there was still a gap compared to Lyman, and at this time, various signals from his body warned him that the rampage was about to end, and if the rampage form was over, his life might also end.
"Shattered Thorn!" Xiao Bai unleashed his magic on Lyman in a little hurry, and the ice arrow at close range went straight towards Lyman's face, which made Lyman also a little panicked, but this seemingly deadly ice arrow did not work a miracle, just slashed through Lyman's cheek like a shard of glass, only a faint scratch on his face.
"Ding!" And this was another strong close sword confrontation, and this time, Xiao Bai's broken ice sword did not recover again, but began to shatter on its own.
"Alas, it seems that you have only ended it here!" Lyman also felt a slight change in several encounters with Xiaobai, and his expression was a little disappointed and a little happy.
"Hmm!" Fred, who was lying on the ground, struggled to support his body with his thin sword, and slowly stood up.
On the other side, Boku and Nock were smiling, they had been suppressed by Giroud and the other deans due to the difference in strength, and their only hope was Lehmann.
"Boy, if you go to practice for a few more years, maybe I really can't help you, people like you! If you can't use it for yourself, you can only dispose of it!" As he spoke, Lyman smiled cruelly and said, "Goodbye! boy!" After speaking, Lyman's fatal sword was already heading towards Xiaobai.
"Damn! How could I die in such a place!" Looking at the sword blade that was getting closer and closer, his body couldn't move, and even his lips could only barely squirm, Xiao Bai shouted angrily in his heart, "Law Spirit! Law Spirit!" But the spirit of the Codex, which was still excited before this, did not appear, and the "Elemental Codex" in Xiao Bai's arms Just quietly in his arms without any movement, what he didn't know was that due to the side effects of the magic rampage, his magic power had been seriously overdrawn, and the spirit of the Codex needed to rely on a small amount of Xiaobai's magic power to communicate with him, and now he could only fall into a deep sleep with the consumption of magic power.
"Damn!" Xiaobai scolded angrily.
"Whew!" Snow Snow Fields flew with snowflakes that covered the land, and at this time, it was as if there was a bright red flower blooming in this snowfield, but the bright red color looked so bleak.
The Grim Reaper didn't seem to favor him, so that the somewhat happy Xiaobai opened his eyes, and what he found was a hideous wound on the chest of his stepfather, Uncle Fred, and the wound was full of cold ice elements that strongly stimulated Fred's nerves.
"Father!" Xiaobai said in a choked voice.
Lyman couldn't help frowning when he saw Fred's sudden intervention, and he also remembered the past in his heart. Due to various different opinions, he had taken revenge on a legion commander with a smaller official position than him many times, but they were all resolved one by one by this seemingly honest opponent. Eventually, however, Lyman found an opportunity, and during a campaign against Stark's invasion, he lured several groups of enemy forces to the Legion's camp, and the Legion Commander escaped with his mortal wounds, but none of his men survived. Lyman was dismissed from his position on trumped-up charges, and at this point he finally killed the man he hated to the core.
Lyman slowly walked over to Fred and crouched down, "Fred, you just liked to go against me back then, don't you have to go against me when you die?" Lyman said with a sinking face and a seemingly calm face.
Fred slowly crawled to Lyman's feet, and grabbed Lyman's feet with both hands.
"Yes, yes!"
"Hehehe, you!" A simple sentence completely broke Lyman's calmness, only to see that his whole body was full of murderous energy, and a strong killing intent exploded strongly.
"Die, die, die!" Finally, the angry Lyman kicked Fred's hands away, and the ice fighting spirit suddenly swelled, and he stomped several hard blows on Fred's head, stomping his head deep into the snow. After that, he grabbed Fred's hair again and smiled coldly: "Fred, I hope you can hold on for a while, and then I will kill you slowly!"
"Father!" Bob shouted in grief as he watched his father being ruthlessly ravaged, and a line of tears flowed from his eyes, for him, Mr. and Mrs. Fred were not parents but better than husband and mother, and they gave him the same care as their own flesh and blood for their unrelated child, and the two of them subconsciously began to rush forward!
"Stupid!" Giroud struggled to push Boku and Nock back and ran towards them with all his might.
"Let's go!" Giroud grabbed Xiaobai and Bob in his hand, and at the same time, he instantly struck an ice movement magic - skating and fled the battlefield.
"Want to run?" Lyman glared angrily, and several more deans blocked his way, "Damn! Nock! Boku! You two pieces of waste, can't you even stop a few old men! These damn old fools! Dare to stand in my way? Have you lived to pigs all these years?" Lyman scolded angrily, and the enemies in front of him, although not strong, made him feel unusually upset.
"A bunch of ants, if you're so anxious to die, then let me all die!" Lyman roared angrily, and his murderous and ice-like fighting aura exploded across the Snow Field.
"Roar!" The entire Snowfield Warcraft seemed to be infected by the thick murderous aura transmitted by Lyman, and even the high-level Warcraft of the Frost Forest stood up and thumped their chests and roared.
At the same time, Dean Giroud on the other side was holding Xiaobai and Bob tightly and retreating to the east with all his strength, Giroud looked at Bob who was glaring at him at his waist, smiled bitterly and looked at Xiaobai with a weak breath on the other hand, who was called "the most arrogant and incompetent person in history" He was spurned by him, but when they first met four years later, he already felt that the boy was very different, and he had already begun to reflect on the fact that maybe the limits of talent could not determine a person's future strength, as the boy said back then, and now the idea that a person's lifetime achievement is determined by magical talent may really be wrong.
"Old man, you, ...... Let me ...... Come down!" Giroud was thinking about this, when suddenly the young man in his hand spat out a sentence in a loud voice.
"You arrogant boy, what can you do even if you are allowed to go back?" Giroud asked helplessly, as the boy listened.
"Run away, old man...... Not a ...... What is the man...... Zihan!" The young man in his hand replied intermittently in a faint voice.
Giroud sighed and said earnestly: "Sometimes, retreat does not mean defeat, advance does not mean victory, you are going forward now, you are about to hit the wall, after retreating, change the angle and then advance, you can continue to move forward!"
After Giroud finished speaking, he felt that the young man in his hand did not move, and Giroud then accelerated his rapid retreat to the east.
Further east in the Northern Territory is the Sea of Kogrik, and on the eastern coast of the Baixin Empire there are many small coastal towns whose inhabitants usually live by trading and fishing, and across this sea is the Kingdom of Godlia.
"Maybe on the other side, you can avoid the current crisis of the Baixin Empire and become strong there!" Dean Giroud put down Xiaobai and Bob in his hand, patted them on the shoulder, and said earnestly.
Bob looked at the reluctant Xiaobai and the gentle and kind Giroud, grabbed Giroud's arm suddenly, and said, "Old man Giroud, there is something I need to tell you!"
"Well?" Giroud looked at Bob strangely, and Bob whispered something in his ear as he drew closer to Giroud, and his brow furrowed more and more as he listened to Bob's words.
"Bob, are you crazy, boy? This is absolutely not going to work!" Giroud yelled angrily as he grabbed Bob's shoulder.
In the face of Giroud's roar, Bob replied very seriously: "Dean, although my Bob likes to brag, but this time!
Giroud looked at Bob, who looked very serious, looked up at the sky, and sighed in his heart: "It is worthy of Fred's flesh and blood, children are so tenacious!"
