章節 15: Noah Makes His Move
編輯: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the dust settled, everyone looked expectantly in the direction of the Ice Python, hoping that the spell would be able to finish off the magical beast.
However, everyone was disappointed. After the smoke and dust had completely dispersed, the figure of the Ice Python was still standing there, but it looked a little more miserable. There were burn marks all over its body, and green liquid was even flowing out of a few places. It seemed to be its blood.
Other than that, the fire rain did not cause any damage to it.
Seeing this, Lily fell to the ground weakly. She had underestimated the vitality of a magical beast that was about to become a second-grade magical beast. Even if the Ice Python was in a weak state, it was still not something that a trainee mage like her could deal with.
If she was an official mage, there would still be hope. Even her most powerful fire rain had no effect. Lily's heart was filled with despair!
Everyone else's faces were ashen as well. It was as if they could already see the God of Death beckoning to them.
The Ice Python's eyes were no longer filled with contempt. Instead, it was filled with anger. The food in its eyes had actually hurt it!
Unforgivable! It had decided to let these humans die in the most tragic way.
The first one was Lily, the human mage who had injured it!
The next moment, the Ice Python no longer released any magic. Instead, it wriggled its body and crawled over.
"Protect the young lady!" Kane took the lead and stood out with his giant sword.
Hearing this, the rest of the people also took out their auras and stepped forward.
Lily struggled to her feet, picked up her staff, and tried to cast fire rain again.
However, as soon as she began to chant the spell, a wave of dizziness struck her. Lily's body swayed, and she fell down again.
"Damn, I'm out of magic power!"
Then, Lily turned to look at Noah and handed the staff to him.
"Hurry up and escape. Cozovo city is in that direction. While we delay the Ice Python, run as far as you can and bring my staff to my father. Please!" Lily asked.
Looking at the staff in front of him, Noah hesitated. The situation in front of him was obvious. Lily and the others were no match for the Python. He had seen how powerful the Ice Python was and wanted to help them, but he only knew how to cast a fireball. He should not be a match for the python.
Now that Lily had said so, after thinking for a while, Noah took the staff from Lily's hand and left without saying anything.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Lily's eyes at Noah's reaction, but then she was relieved. Noah was not her man, and it was normal for him to run away. She only hoped that Noah would bring her staff to her father.
At the thought of her father, tears welled up in Lily's eyes. She had come out this time to find the dragon's breath grass for her father, but she had not found it. Instead, she had lost the lives of so many people. Lily felt extremely guilty.
"I'm sorry, father!"
While Lily was still feeling sad, Noah suddenly came back.
"Why are you still here?" Seeing Noah return, Lily could not help but urge.
Noah was about to leave. He had already run a few hundred meters, but he hesitated halfway. He was afraid of death, but if he just left like this, even if he could survive, he would live in guilt for the rest of his life!
In the end, after struggling for a long time, Noah returned.
Seeing Noah standing there in a daze, Lily could not help but feel touched. Noah had only met them by chance, but he had chosen to come back at this critical moment and share life and death with them.
This courage was not something that anyone could possess!
In fact, Noah was already regretting it, especially when he saw the Ice Python fighting with the group not far away.
"Why the hell did I come back?"
"F*ck, I don't care anymore. At most, it's just death. Anyway, I've already died once!"
Thinking about it, Noah no longer panicked. At most, he would die, but before he died, he would burn a few holes in this python!
Therefore, Noah stepped forward and helped Lily up, then walked up alone.
"What are you doing?" Seeing Noah walk up, Lily quickly exclaimed.
Noah did not respond. She would not understand it anyway.
Noah held the wand in his hand, and a heat wave suddenly rose around him.
To Lily's surprise, a purple flame rose.
The magic staff in his hand seemed to have been completely activated, shining with a dazzling light.
In a short while, a purplish-black fireball the size of half a human's size had completely condensed in front of Noah.
The Ice Python that was fighting with Kane and the others suddenly noticed something and turned to look at Noah.
When it saw the strange purplish-black fireball, it was instantly frightened, and its eyes were full of fear.
As a result, the Ice Python did not dare to get entangled with Kane and the others. It directly broke away from the fight and crawled toward Noah. Its body lit up with a silver-white light, and the ice in front of the ice Python slowly froze, gradually spreading toward Noah.
An even larger icicle condensed at the same time and shot toward Noah.
Noah's fireball was also ready.
"Go." Without any complicated incantations, he condensed a fireball with a thought, and with a word, the fireball shot out.
Halfway there, the heat waves caused by the fireballs melted the ice on the ground and collided with the icicles.
The icicles that had taken everyone's energy to block just now were like the worst plastic at this moment. The moment they touched the fireball, they melted into nothing!
Lily's eyes widened in shock!
What did she just see? Noah was actually a mage, and from the mana fluctuations, he was actually an official level-one mage!
Also, why did he not need to chant to release magic?
Countless doubts filled Lily's mind.
After Noah's fireball melted the icicle, it continued to hit the Ice Python.
The Ice Python was also stunned for a moment. It clearly did not expect its icicles to melt so easily!
Looking at the fireball that was already within reach, the Ice Python was on guard.
The horns on its head glowed with a silver light, and a frosty breath came out of its mouth. Although the power of the fireball surprised it, it believed that it was nothing compared to its breath. This was the magic that it had awakened as a second-grade magical beast!
Although it was not as powerful as a second-grade spell, it was definitely not something that a grade-one spell could compare to.
However, the Ice Python's eyes were soon filled with confusion.
This was because the fireball that was covered in black flames seemed to be unaffected by the frost breath. It completely ignored the frost breath and smashed into the monster's body.
A loud explosion was heard, and everyone was stunned by the fireball.
"Is this really the power of the fireball technique?"
The thick smoke dispersed, and a scene that made everyone's scalps tingle appeared. They saw a hole in the body of the Ice Python, which had been showing off just now. Noah's fireball had penetrated the body of the Ice Python!
Moreover, the hole was still emitting sizzling sounds. Looking closely, the flesh of the Ice Python was actually being corroded bit by bit!
Everyone was so shocked that they could not speak. Noah was also stunned. When did his fireball become so powerful?
However, even with such a serious injury, the Ice Python was still not dead. It spat out a cold breath at its wound as if to seal its injury with ice. However, just as the cold breath sealed the wound, it was instantly melted by a black flame.
The Giant Ice Python let out a heart-wrenching roar, as if it was asking what the hell this was!
The intense pain finally reminded the Ice Python that it could not stay here any longer. If it continued to stay here, it would really die if the human threw another fireball at it!
On this point, it had a tacit understanding with Noah, because Noah saw that the fireball was so effective, but it had not completely killed the python, so he unhurriedly released another fireball.
Before the Ice Python could react, the fireball hit it again.
"Roar!" A blood-curdling screech reverberated through the entire cold pond.
Noah could not help but be surprised when he released the fireballs again. The second fireball not only became more powerful, but they also became faster.
Noah could not help but look at the staff in his hand. It should be the staff credit.
The two consecutive fireballs completely silenced the Ice Python.
When the dust settled, the Ice Python was lying on the ground, dying. It no longer had any energy to move around!
Everyone was speechless. A second-grade magical beast killed by two fireballs.
Kane looked at Noah as if he had seen a ghost.
'This brat is actually such a powerful mage. I actually want to find trouble with him?' Kane could not help but feel scared.
With his strength, even a hundred of him would not be enough to kill Noah!
What followed was incomparable excitement. They had survived from a second-grade magical beast! Even though they were not of much use, it was still an extremely glorious thing!
"Kill it! Give it a fatal blow!" Kane immediately commanded.
Hearing this, everyone understood. With Noah holding the line at the back, they were full of confidence. Their swords, axes, and bows and arrows all greeted the Giant Ice Python.
Normally, the Ice Python would not even bother to move. However, at this moment, these weak attacks would easily kill it.
In less than ten minutes, the Ice Python lost all signs of life!
