Chapter 210: Escape
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
A series of crisp sounds rang out, like a hurricane sweeping across. A large number of Wraiths in front of Heath collapsed in an instant, leaving an empty circle on the spot.
“Is this the Sharp Sword Realm?!”
Looking at the scene that he had created with his own hands, Heath was extremely shocked. One had to know that just now, he had only dealt damage purely through his swordsmans.h.i.+p. There was not the slightest bit of magic mixed in, and it had nothing to do with magic at all.
But from his performance, it was no less than an official spell.
If he added magic, like Robert, and merged magic with it… Just thinking about it was exciting!
“Sir Wizard! Are you okay?”
Knight Aaron’s shout came from behind. Seeing that Heath was safe, everyone at the back let out a sigh of relief.
“I’m fine!”
Heath returned to his senses. Now was not the time to be happy. He should leave this place first.
After saying that, he waved his sword and swept across a large group of Wraiths again.
“Follow me!”
After saying that, he continued to charge forward.
After breaking through to the Sharp Sword Realm, Heath clearly felt that his Knight’s combat strength had undergone a qualitative leap. Just an ordinary cross-shaped sword was able to produce an all-conquering effect. Wherever the blade pa.s.sed by, the Wraiths would collapse upon contact and die upon contact.
At this moment, Heath was like a sharp knife that had pierced into tofu, charging and rampaging in the tide of Wraiths with unstoppable momentum.
Apart from sword skills, Heath naturally would not forget to bombard them with magic. The reason why he had not released any spells before was because he wanted to take the opportunity to test his sword. Now that he had broken through the Sharp Sword Realm, there was no need for him to continue testing his sword.
The magic bombard and the sword momentum were as swift as the wind!
Relying on Heath’s bug-like combat strength to open up a path in front of them, the pressure on the carriages behind them also dropped drastically. The group of people fought their way out of the tide of Wraiths and went against the trend.
Just like that, they continued to kill, kill, chop, chop, and chop. Suddenly, a mountain ridge appeared on the horizon in the distance. Compared to the noisy Boneyard, the mountain ridge appeared to be quiet.
A burst of cheers erupted from the crowd.
“We’re here! We’re here!”
“The Valley of the Dead, the Valley of the Dead is right in front of us!”
Mixed with the joy of victory, the team once again boosted their morale and charged forward. Finally, they managed to escape the tide of Wraiths and rushed up the hillside.
Just like a drowning person who had finally rushed up the bank from the rapid river, everyone who had survived the disaster almost cried tears of joy.
“We… we survived, we survived!”
“We escaped!”
“Haha, I knew I wouldn’t die!”
Amidst the cheers, everyone fell to the ground one after another. The b.l.o.o.d.y battle just now had exhausted everyone’s strength. Most of them had relied purely on their willpower to survive.
Standing under an oak tree, Heath leaned against the trunk and panted heavily. He was also exhausted from the b.l.o.o.d.y battle just now. He was drenched in sweat and his breathing was like a bellows.
Wu wu wu wu!
At this moment, a strange sound was heard. It was like the sound of a horn.
“Oh! My G.o.d, Look!”
“So… so many Wraiths… did they all come out of the river… so… so strange…”
With this voice, the Boneyard below had another shocking change.
The pitch-black River of the Dead suddenly emitted a demonic green light, as if it had been dyed with glowing green dye.
Immediately after, water splashed everywhere, and large groups of Wraiths walked out of the river.
When he saw these Wraiths, Heath was slightly stunned.
This was because the Wraiths that had just left the river did not look like the Skeletons and rotting Zombies from before. Instead, they still maintained the image of their souls when they were alive.
What was surprising was that these Wraiths looked like ordinary people. There were men and women, old and young.
One had to know that this was the b.l.o.o.d.y Battlefield. The ones who stayed here and were eroded by the Wraith of Everett should have been the soldiers who had fought against Everett and sacrificed themselves. How could there be civilians?
“We… We just escaped from the hands of these things?”
“I really… I really can’t believe it…”
Looking at the densely packed army of Wraiths, everyone present could not help but shudder. It was only at this moment that they felt their legs go weak.
Wu! Wu! Wu! Wu!
At the same time, that long voice sounded once again, like a gathering bugle call.
Hearing this voice, the Wraiths that had been wandering aimlessly below seemed to have found a direction all of a sudden, and they all rushed towards a certain direction. They formed groups, and one after another, they rose and fell.
And that was the direction of the b.l.o.o.d.y Fortress.
Obviously, before long, a fortress offensive and defensive battle was about to begin again.
‘What are these?’
‘The ones who have been fighting us all this time, are they really the warriors who were killed by Everett back then?’
Looking at the tidal current below, Heath was very puzzled.
…
This storm pa.s.sed just like that without any danger. After pa.s.sing through the Boneyard, what followed was basically a smooth and stable road, and there wouldn’t be any more risks.
However, because they had fought hard the night before and escaped from danger, everyone was a little exhausted. So, under Heath’s suggestion, they decided to camp and rest for a day before continuing on their journey the next day.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Heath also took the opportunity to explore the surroundings.
Just like what he had learned in the fortress, the b.l.o.o.d.y Battlefield was indeed filled with all kinds of high-level materials. In just a day of exploration, Heath had collected many rare materials from the outside world.
Although these were all contaminated materials that could not be used, with the help of the system, he was still able to extract valuable attributes from them.
The next day, the convoy continued on its journey.
“Then, Sir Wizard, you can squeeze in with Her Highness the Princess.”
“Actually, it doesn’t matter. I can just ride the horse…”
“How can that be? You’re our hero. You’ve saved everyone here. Her Highness also hopes to ride with you!”
“Uh…”
Due to Heath’s carriage being damaged in the previous battle, he was arranged to ride in the same carriage as the Elven Princess for the first time.
Originally, he did not intend to go up. After all, the other party’s ident.i.ty was more sensitive. Although the humans and Elves currently stood on the same side, according to his understanding during this period of time, the upper echelons of both sides were actually only on the surface. They were not actually that harmonious.
It was just that he could not resist everyone’s enthusiasm.
After the battle yesterday, Heath had become the hero in the hearts of every member of this team. After all, the few Dark Wizards who had escaped from danger yesterday were almost all done by Heath himself.
If it was not for his efforts to turn the tide, everyone present would have been wiped out.
Now, even the Elf Princess had come to invite Heath to ride with them. If he continued to refuse, it would be too disrespectful.
Walking into the carriage, Heath looked around.
The decorations were similar to an ordinary carriage. There was a coffee table in the middle and two sofas on both sides of the coffee table. However, the decorations were more exquisite. White dye was used, a soft carpet was laid, and exquisite reliefs were made all around.
In addition, there was a small door beside him. There was a faint spatial fluctuation on it. It was probably set up with a spatial magic circle.
The Elf Princess was sitting on the sofa at the moment. She was elegant and beautiful, but also a little arrogant. She looked at Heath in front of her and said, “Wizard, I permit you to sit down.”
Heath sat on the opposite sofa and said, “Thank you.”
As he spoke, he quietly glanced at the Princess in front of him.
After the banquet that day, this was the second time Heath had come into contact with this Elven Princess, and it was the first time he was so close to her.
That day at the banquet, she only gave Heath a feeling of being stunning. Now that he looked closer, Heath had a more detailed evaluation. How should he put it… It should be…
Loli.
This Elf Princess wasn’t very tall. She was about 1.5 meters tall, or even shorter. She had a pet.i.te and slim figure. Other than that, she also had a babyface. There was even a bit of baby fat on both sides of her cheeks, it was the standard loli style.
However, what was unbelievable was that under this child-like face, her figure was extremely mature. She had curves, especially that pair of white rabbits on her chest. Even some adult women were ashamed of their inferiority.
This was probably the child-like face that people said they had?
Heath’s mind was running wild.
“Wizard Heath?” At this moment, the Elf Princess’ voice sounded. She stared at him with her big, flawless eyes, as if she was an innocent young girl who had not experienced much in the world.
Heath quickly averted his rude gaze.
According to what he knew from the books, most Elves had a negative opinion of humans. The most important point was that humans would be unconsciously attracted to their exquisite appearance. They would always have a lewd expression on their faces.
As a human example, he should at least pay attention to his appearance and temperament.
He quickly said apologetically, “Sorry to have embarra.s.sed you, Your Highness.”
“It’s okay,” the little Princess said softly.
After a pause, the corner of her mouth curled up into a long arc, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
Sometimes, a single action could really change a person.
When she revealed this expression, it was as if it was an illusion. The naïve little Princess from before seemed to have disappeared without a trace in an instant, causing her entire person to suddenly become mature and intelligent.
While Heath was marveling, the little Princess spoke. Her first sentence caught Heath off guard.
She asked bluntly, “You were looking at my chest just now. Does that mean that you want to have s*x with me?”
Heath was stunned. “?”
The Elf Princess tilted her face a little and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
Her face was not red, and she was not panting. With a hint of arrogance and disdain, she said, “What are you pretending for? Aren’t you human males in estrus 24 hours a day? When you see a beautiful female like me, isn’t your first reaction always to push me naked on the bed?”
