Ferde Wilderness .

Romilsin's summoned unicorn was even faster than Link's Wind Fenrir . After a few minutes, he was more than 300 feet ahead of Link .

However, he was not stupid . He knew that if he wanted to save the princess, he needed Link's power . So, after getting more than 300 feet ahead, he did not speed up and just maintained this distance .

The princess's blood aura in the stains was fading . This meant the princess's life was fading too .

Romilson must get to Milda as fast as possible . Not a second could be wasted!

The wilderness terrain had no pattern . Sometimes there would be boulders in the way, but that was okay . His Level-4 unicorn was very powerful and helped him quickly pa.s.s through these obstacles .

"Hey!"

Romilson controlled the unicorn to jump over a boulder and then land before continuing forward at breakneck speed . He then heard a call from behind him . It was Link, trying to say something to him .

He wanted to ignore the man . The humans were cold-blooded, selfish, and fake . If he didn't need Link's power to save the princess, he wouldn't even slow down to wait .

So what if you're the number one human Magician? So what if you can do spatial magic? F*ck you! Anger rose inside Romilson . He stopped controlling the unicorn's speed and prepared to charge wildly .

But then, he suddenly heard a whoosh sound behind him . At the same time, there were violent Mana waves—it was a magic spell . Someone was attacking behind with a spell .

Looking back, he saw a metallic tip piercing towards him . The Mana on it showed that it was Link's spell .

"Link? Attacking me! What is he doing?" Romilson grew even more furious . Getting an idea, he instantly cast the defensive spell s.h.i.+eld of Thorns .

s.h.i.+eld of Thorns

Level-2 Elite Spell

Effect: Rattan thorns created by solidified natural elements form a flexible s.h.i.+eld . It can effectively block all piercing attacks .

(Note: exclusive High Elf spell . )

A green light flashed in the air, and countless thorns formed instantly . They wove together and created a ten-foot wide s.h.i.+eld .

Poof! The Whistle collided with the s.h.i.+eld and exploded . However, the countless thorns absorbed all of the destructive force . It was basically ineffective .

Romulsive instinctively began to fight back .

He pointed his wand at the ground . A beam of dark green light shot into the soil .

"Poison Ivy Puncture!"

Poison Ivy Puncture

Level-3 Elite Spell

Use: Creates a bundle of ivy vines that snakes across the ground . These vines are very resilient, highly penetrative, and poisonous . They can pop out of anywhere within 210 feet and attack the enemy .

(Note: exclusive a High Elf spell . )

A flood of vines slithered across the ground, stretching toward Link who was catching up .

Using the delay caused by the Whistle, Link had decreased the distance between them to around 180 feet . Seeing the vines coming for him, he scrutinized the soil for any changes and guided the Wind Fenrir left and right .

Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!

With each explosion, the soil beside Link burst . Bundles of black, th.o.r.n.y vines shot up rapidly . If Link was. .h.i.t, he would either die or the poison would make him wish he were dead .

Unblinkingly, Link mult.i.tasked while dodging the poison ivy . With a slight change of thought, he hurled a Level-1 Vector Protective Force Field at Romilson who was 120 feet away .

While maintaining his summoned unicorn, Romilson focused on controlling the poison ivy to attack Link . Seeing how Link was dodging pathetically, he thought that Link would be unable to cast spells and didn't give himself any defensive spells .

He was wrong .

The Magicians who practiced with him in the Isle of Dawn couldn't do it, but that didn't mean Link couldn't .

Mult.i.tasking with two tasks or even three, and counter-attacking while defending was something every Magician needed to know in a battle . If you couldn't do it and didn't want to die, then you should just hide in the back and play nurse .

Boom! Romilson was instantly hit by the force field .

The force field wasn't very strong, but it was still painful for an average man . Romilson was stronger than most people, yet he still toppled down the unicorn in a jumbled mess .

He dropped his wand too . The unicorn and poison ivy all vanished .

Footsteps approached him . The Wind Fenrir had reached him . Link perched on the Fenrir and pointed the wand at Romilson . The Vector Protective Force Field was in preparation; the semi-transparent force field easily restricted Romilson on the ground .

Romilson stared at Link in disbelief . "You want to kill me? Are you really studying dark magic?"

Link sighed, feeling sad for the High Elf's brain . He said coldly, "I'm stopping you from killing Princess Milda!"

Romilson was instantly furious . "Kill Princess Milda? Bullsh*t! I'm saving her!"

Link's patience had a limit too . He pointed in the direction Romilson was heading to . "Is the princess in that direction?"

"Yes! Let go of me!" Romilson roared .

Link said coldly, "There are most likely still a.s.sa.s.sins hidden in the wilderness, including at least one Level-6 Magician . If you go directly, the enemies will easily find where the princess is hiding . You're killing her!"

"You…" Romilson uttered before he finally processed it . He shuddered and the blood drained from his face .

Seeing that he understood, Link let go of the force field . He waited for the High Elf to stand up dazedly and growled, "What are you waiting for? Where's your unicorn? Hurry up!"

"But this will reveal Her Highness's hiding spot . " Romilson had broken down like a system's collapse; his IQ was plummeting too . It was useless to hope he could do something .

"Summon your unicorn!" Link changed his tactic and ordered .

Romilson mumbled something and wanted to argue, but what he had just done was honestly too stupid . He had no confidence now . After hesitating a bit, he summoned the dark brown unicorn again .

Link said again, "Go . You point the way, and we'll take a detour!"

"Which way?" Romilson asked another stupid question .

Rather than berating him, Link pointed in a random direction . "That way and speed up!"

"Uh…okay . " Romilson obediently steered the unicorn and then sped up . He honestly had no self-esteem now; he went at Link's speed .

Link asked, "How far are we from the princess?"

"Around five miles away . "

Link quietly estimated and then said, "Then, the princess will be absolutely safe within five minutes . After five minutes, she'll be in danger, so we have five minutes to act . "

Romilson didn't understand . "Uh…how did you calculate that? Are you sure it's five minutes? Won't they be confused by the direction we're going in?"

To make him cooperate, Link explained, "It's a simple deduction . I hypothesized that you were discovered the moment you ran out of the territory . The enemy also guessed the princess's hiding spot at once and sent the command immediately . It's around five miles from the territory to that spot . If the a.s.sa.s.sins go directly there at top speed, it'll take five minutes . "

This was a really simple math problem . The shortest distance between two points was a line . Divide the shortest distance by the enemy's highest speed, and you would get the period of absolute safety .

"They might use magic communication to send the message," Romilson tried to argue .

"Impossible!" Link said decisively and explained, "Firstly, I didn't sense any strange Mana waves around here . Secondly, that command is complicated and temporary . It's hard to use magic communication to send messages like this . "

Romilson was speechless and completely convinced . After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "What if they're fooled by what we're doing now? Will it help win us some time?"

"A little but not much . If I were them, I'd choose to split my men into two groups . One group would follow the original direction . The other would follow us . " Link had thought it through .

Hearing this, Romilson grew anxious . "Then why don't we just go in a straight line?"

"Calm down . " Link seemed to have already won . After a while, he suddenly said, "Okay, change your direction and go at top speed, then keep the distance between us to 160 feet . "

"But this is the wrong direction! It's wrong by a lot!" Romilson honestly couldn't understand .

"I know, but stop hesitating and just go!" Link had become strict again .

Romilson's self-esteem had recovered a bit, but he still couldn't fight against Link's command . Gritting his teeth, he started galloping towards the direction Link had pointed out .

After a while, he turned around and saw that Link's Wind Fenrir had started galloping too, maintaining the 160-foot distance between them .

This was slightly rea.s.suring .

. . .

At night in the wilderness .

"Chief, they changed direction . "

"Changed direction? How?" The a.s.sa.s.sin speaking held two dark red daggers .

"Link caught up to the High Elf, and they seemed to have a scuffle . Then, they changed direction . "

"Heh, don't hesitate . Continue searching in the original direction . And send two more men after them . Don't lose them . "

"Understood . "

Half a minute later, another a.s.sa.s.sin came to report . "Chief, they changed direction again . "

"They seemed to have argued and the High Elf ran forward again . He's super fast . "

"Oh?" The chief sank into thought . After a few seconds, he asked, "Is it the original direction?"

"It's at least 20 degrees off . "

"Tell the men to change direction . Follow the High Elf's current direction . Hurry, they must hurry!"

"Understood . "

Seeing the man leave, the chief sped up too . He was extremely fast—even faster than Link's Wind Fenrir . After sprinting for two minutes, the High Elf and Link appeared in his vision .

He cackled, "Link, so what if you saw through my plan? It's not my fault that High Elf is stupid, ha!"

Thinking a bit, he felt that it still wasn't safe . The two were too fast and might get to the High Elf Princess first . He must slow them down so his men would have more time to search .
