Chapter 249:
“Skarn you!!”
The stubbornness of his companion left Belram Academy feeling frustrated, unsure of what to do.
The apprentice named Skarn turned around and pulled a silver arrow with fine threads from the Quiver behind him, skillfully loading it into the Crossbow.
In the vast grassland illuminated by faint starlight, three massive Spotted Lizards were sprinting at an astonishing speed that belied their size.
Their nearly ton-weight bodies caused the ground to tremble.
Skarn slightly lowered his head, took a deep breath, and began to chant a complicated spell.
Green starlight spread from his hand and quickly attached itself to the Silver Arrow.
Meanwhile, Belram Academy, observing his companion's actions, ultimately shook his head in resignation. With a complex expression, he took out a black Strange Rope from behind him.
“Alright! Since you've made this decision, I will trust you this once!!”
After finishing the incantation, Skarn did not speak but suddenly pulled the trigger.
‘Squeak—’
A sharp yet resonant sound erupted from the released arrow.
The silver arrow trailed a long green flame as it shot towards the last Venom Lizard at an unbelievable speed.
‘Rip!!’
A dazzling spark suddenly burst forth in the dimness as the arrow was deflected by its hard scales, leaving only a faint white mark.
However, although the arrow did not hit the Lizard, it successfully attracted its attention.
"Roar!!!"
The Venom Lizard, which had been unable to catch up from behind, suddenly turned its head upon noticing the two humans provoking it.
Its crimson eyes fixed on the two, and without a second thought, it charged straight toward them.
The blue spines that had been pierced by Freya earlier caused it to feel a constant burning pain, further igniting its ferocity.
Seeing that it had successfully drawn the Lizard's attention, Skarn immediately shouted toward Belram Academy beside him.
"Quick! Run!!"
"Damn it! I don't need you!"
As soon as Belram Academy saw the Venom Lizard charging toward them, his face twisted in rage as he threw away the black rope in his hand and ran alongside Skarn.
The rope he tossed seemed to have a life of its own; after falling to the ground, it twisted a few times before crawling directly toward the running Venom Lizard.
...
As they sprinted at high speed, the grass flew backward rapidly. Freya maintained a calm expression as she looked back at the two remaining Venom Lizards behind her.
These two massive creatures were only slightly slower than her when they ran at full speed.
Their armored scales were immune to most energy spells. Aside from using the blue spines earlier, Freya realized that only her strongest melee attacks could inflict some damage.
However, even with the blue spines, there were only two left now.
"It seems that those two apprentices have attracted the injured Lizard away. Now, I just need to shake off these two pursuers. That will be half the battle won!"
Having made a decision, Freya, who had been fleeing, suddenly sharpened her gaze and halted her movement. Then, she unexpectedly turned back and charged towards the two Venom Lizards.
The Cross Sword in her right hand slowly glowed with a crimson light. Circles of Azure Wind continuously swirled around the Sword Tip.
With a whoosh, the running Cross Sword ignited, leaving a long trail of fiery Long Scar as Freya sprinted forward.
Her deep blue eyes locked onto the two Lizards, the Azure Rune in her right eye began to rotate slowly, while her left eye grew increasingly profound.
It was as if a pitch-black mist was gradually coalescing.
In an instant, the two Venom Lizards, which had intended to devour the woman before them in one bite, felt an overwhelming sense of fear.
"Hiss."
A faint sound echoed as the mist in Freya's left eye suddenly solidified into a coiled black snake, its triangular eyes fixated intently on the two massive Lizards.
A strong fear spread over the Venom Lizards like a black gel.
The Venom Lizards, which were nearly at the level of Liquid Wizards, began to tremble with intense fear under this eerie aura, even their movements slowed down.
The fiery glow illuminated half of Freya's face, and at that moment, her gaze became sharp.
"Blazing Edge!"
The swirling wind suddenly turned chaotic as the Cross Sword extended half a meter, piercing through one of the Lizard's eyelids like a spear.
A splash of black-red liquid erupted forth.
Freya twisted her hand and directly pulled out the Cross Sword, thrusting it into the side of another Lizard.
"Swish!!!"
A black-red charred Long Scar was pulled out by her.
"Roar!!!!"
The intense pain from the injury snapped the two Venom Lizards, which had been slow to react due to fear, back to their senses.
A thick cloud of Green Poison Fog quickly enveloped both Lizards.
"Whoosh!"
Almost simultaneously, a disheveled figure flew out from the green mist.
Freya ripped off the White Robe that was still corroding, revealing the Red Chainmail underneath.
At the same time, she hurriedly took out a vial of green liquid from her waist pouch and drank it quickly.
After discarding the Test Tube in her hand, Freya glanced down at the Robe on the ground that had turned into a puddle of Black Liquid, feeling a slight sense of dread.
"To think that even my Enchanted Robe was corroded; it truly is a creature of Liquefaction Level."
Even after drinking the Antidote, Freya still felt her body numb.
The Cross Sword embedded in the Lizard's body was already reduced to half, and her right hand holding the sword was slightly darkened.
Fortunately, she had not been exposed to the poison fog for long; otherwise, it would have been much worse than just this little bit of poison.
The two Lizard creatures that were injured by Freya let out pitiful wails from time to time.
One of them, with its eye directly pierced and blinded, stared at Freya with a human-like gaze, seemingly filled with hatred.
Just as Freya was about to take her next action, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the blind Lizard.
"Abyssal Nausea."
Its tone in the common language was quite strange, but it surprised Freya slightly; she hadn't expected this Venom Lizard to possess intelligence.
"I remember you, human Surface Sorcerer."
As if unaware of Freya's shock, the Lizard gave her a deep look and then chose to slowly retreat.
Freya frowned slightly as she watched the two Lizard creatures choose to leave.
She glanced at the dark mark on her right hand, where it slowly began to coalesce into a simplified version of a Lizard's head. (To be continued...)
