In astonishment, the mage flew comically high into the air from the back of Jun Ying.
Even though the target was knocked into mid-air, the power of the Light Arrow was still insufficient to penetrate the sturdy Defensive Technique.
this is the murderer who killed the instructor!” Feeling the Attack Magic blocked behind him, Emmon was furious.
The force of the fading Light Arrow slowly dissipated, and the mage’s body curved down from its high point, plummeting towards the ground.
However, he didn’t panic.
Feeling the whistling wind beside his ears, Emmon gripped his Magic Wand and cast a spell to protect his body before the impact of landing.
The Jun Ying suddenly felt lighter, realizing its master had been knocked off.
The loyal Riding Beast had no desire to attack the humans below and hurriedly flapped its wings, flying towards Emmon, who crashed through a slew of branches before tumbling into the forest.
Seeing Jun Ying fly away, Kovis didn’t dare miss the precious chance to breathe and immediately turned to run towards the incoming black Warhorse, yelling to stop the animal.
Leon, lying on the horse’s back, had already fallen into helplessness.
Jumping onto the Warhorse from behind, Kovis touched the Demon Rune on his forehead and quickly reached out with both hands: his right hand grabbing the reins to urge the horse to escape and his left pulling off Leon’s Hand Armor, pressing on the pulse of his wrist to transfer strength.
A soothing warmth spread throughout his body, feeling his strength and spirit rapidly recovering, Leon managed to sit up again in the bouncing saddle.
“Did that guy fall to his death?” he asked Kovis behind him, urgently.
Leon didn’t know if his back hit had penetrated the enemy’s defenses, but logically, the height at which the mage was knocked down should have killed a normal person several times over.
Kovis touched his rear shoulder and looked back regretfully, “His Mana is still there; I’m sorry, but a high fall is almost impossible to harm a prepared mage.”
He wasn’t killed by that?
Leon furrowed his brows, took the reins from the struggling youth behind him, and as best he could, urged the Warhorse to gallop towards the dense forest ahead.
He felt his luck had finally run out.
There were at least a hundred kilometers to Nightmare Forest.
If the two of them couldn’t reach their destination before the enemy caught up, and now that Isa’s Arrow was no match for the opponent, what other strategies could he come up with to win?
“How many more times can you replenish my Magic Power?” Leon turned back and asked Kovis hurriedly.
“The Magic Power I have left can only save you once more, but if I give it all to you, I’ll also become weak,” said the golden-haired youth helplessly.
Although the situation had improved from what he had initially anticipated alone, in reality, it was only a brief extension of life under Emmon’s pursuit.
Leon fell into silent speechlessness.
Indeed at a complete loss.
The only thing that could be considered fortunate was that if he really couldn’t survive this time…
at least after this round, Azeryan might escape safely back to Orland after taking a detour.
With a bitter smile, casting aside the feeling of defeat in his heart, Leon rekindled his fighting spirit and looked towards the dense woodland ahead.
If the two wanted to make one last desperate attempt,
There was certainly no chance of victory in open areas.
In the forest where Emmon had fallen, Jun Ying pushed through the treetops and bushes, carrying its mage master to a clearing.
It shook off the branches and leaves restlessly, then once again was deftly controlled by the unharmed Emmon, pulling the reins to take flight.
From above, Emmon easily spotted the two fleeing together on a Warhorse in the distance.
Seeing them entering the thicket far away, Emmon couldn’t help but reveal a hint of mockery and was not worried about losing track of their target.
After all, wherever they hid, he could still feel Kovis’s imprinted marking on his back, not to mention that in the rugged forest, even riding a horse would be as slow as walking.
However, that spell of projective magic that the instructor’s assassin used did have some threat.
To be safe, Emmon poured Mana back into the Magic Wand’s Defensive Technique, activating the Technique in advance, before urging Jun Ying to chase after them.
First circling low over the forest, the mage closed his eyes, sensing Kovis’s location.
Predictably pitifully slow.
They hadn’t gotten very far in such a long time.
Planning an ambush on me?
Hah, seeking their own death.
Opening his eyes, he rode Jun Ying to that area, then once again raised his wand to cast a spell, conjuring Fire Snakes coiling around his body.
Emmon lifted his leg, leaped off Jun Ying’s back, his body passing through the thick tree crowns, landing in the forest.
Using Magic to land gently, the mage looked towards the position where he expected to intercept, but in the dim forest canopy below, Kovis’s figure was invisible to the naked eye.
But within a moment, the mage perceived the young man’s trick.
It seems during my absence, you have learned quite a bit from the instructor.”
After saying that, the fury in Emmon’s eyes intensified.
He regretted not having disregarded the instructor’s wishes to just kill the ungrateful wretch privately.
With a cruel smirk on his lips, Emmon waved his Magic Wand, flinging the Fire Snakes coiled around him as if lashing out with a whip, sweeping directly across the seemingly empty space in front of him.
Realizing his cover was blown, Kovis, still under Invisibility, dispersed the technique hiding the light, activating the white crystal embedded at his feet with the freed mental capacity.
Gale forces instantly propelled Kovis’s light frame violently backward.
The Fire Snakes lashed through the air, winding aimlessly over an adjacent tree, their burning bodies causing the trunk to crackle and ignite.
