Chapter 322

"Link, what happened?" Felina landed .

"I killed Todelron," Link said the good news first .

"Huh? Wasn't he killed long ago?" Felina still hadn't processed everything .

"I really killed him this time . I stopped Isendilan from resurrecting him, and now he has his eyes on me . " That was the bad news .

Felina gulped in shock and repeated, "You said the duke has his eyes on you now?"

"Yeah, let's go now . As fast as possible . " Link climbed onto Nana and realized that Nana's backside was much softer now . Before, she'd been soft metal but still felt uncomfortable after a while . Now, she was soft, comfy, and even a bit warm, practically like a real human .

Not bad, not bad . The Red Dragon Queen's life essence is really an amazing thing, Link couldn't help but think .

Felina was speechless . She didn't understand how Link could be so calm . Being targeted by a legendary dragon was basically death .

However, she'd fought together with Link many times now . They'd faced enemies with Divine Gear in the Northern Black Forest, faced Level-9 undead High Elves, and fought with Osiris . She knew that if Link acted this calmly, it meant he already thought of a solution .

As expected, Link said, "Don't worry . I can escape from him, and he won't be able to find us . "

As he spoke, Isendilan's voice continued to ring in his mind . Mortal, you can't escape . I'll burn your soul with fire .

Mortal, you don't know who exactly you've offended! Let me tell you, it is I, Isendilan, the king of the Red Dragons chosen by G.o.d!

Mortal, stop now . Stand there without moving and wait for my judgment!

Mortal…!

The voice kept going . As time pa.s.sed, it became clearer and clearer . This meant that Isendilan had left his castle and was coming after them, closing in on them . However, this was okay . Nana was very fast and could run 650 feet per second while carrying Link without using all her strength .

If Link didn't cast a defense spell for himself, he'd probably get killed from the wind .

With this speed, Felina could barely keep up, using up a lot of her physical strength . She transformed into a dragon and followed close behind in the air . The three ran crazily like this and Nana brought Link past 30 miles within five minutes . This speed was wild .

"Alright, let's stop now," Link said . The voice in his mind had become clearer again, but overall, it was okay . Isendilan wasn't as fast as Link had expected .

Nana came to a stop . Link took out the Breakpoint dagger . Feeling around with his eyes closed, he suddenly sliced the air .

Mortal, I see you—

With the small slice, Isendilan's voice disappeared completely from Link's mind . Then, the indescribable terror was reduced until it was extremely weak . This meant Isendilan was still looking but had lost him .

"Felina, come down . We're safe," Link called to the air .

Felina flapped her wings and landed in the gra.s.s . She gazed curiously at Link . "Safe? Why?"

She didn't feel any change .

"I cut the spirit sensory between us," Link explained quickly . "He doesn't know where we are now and the Golden Plains is so vast . If we're careful, there won't be any problem . "

Felina only received a shallow explanation . Cut the spirit sensory? How? She didn't know how reliable this was, but she trusted Link . Since he said it was okay, then they were definitely safe .

Link climbed down from Nana's back and said, "Isendilan still knows where we are now so we must leave quickly . "

"Master, should I continue carrying you?" Nana asked .

"Not for now . We'll use a new way . " As he spoke, Link activated the Dimensional Jump . White light blanketed all three of them, and they moved half a mile after a soft buzz . It wasn't far away enough though, so Link used the spell again, and they teleported again .

Link now had up to 17000 Mana Points . He used the spell five continuous times without worry and used up 9000 Mana Points . They moved three miles in three seconds .

This wasn't all .

Dimensional Jumping was a legendary spell, but they would still leave ripples in s.p.a.ce while moving . Others could use these traces to find them .

Link wouldn't have to worry about being discovered by regular opponents, but Link was willing to use all his power against someone legendary like Isendilan . He couldn't be too careful .

After stopping, he used his understanding of s.p.a.ce and began erasing the marks in the spatial structure bit by bit . It looked complicated, but it was just like a fox using its tail to sweep the snow, getting rid of all evidence and making it impossible to trace them .

Around two minutes later, Link said, "Felina, don't fly anymore . You're too obvious of a target . "

"I understand . " She didn't dare fly around when the situation was unclear . If she ran into Isendilan in the air, she would be dead meat .

Link then cast an invisibility spell on all three of them so Isendilan wouldn't be able to see from the sky .

After all this, the last bit of terror disappeared . This meant they'd completely escaped from Isendilan's eyes . Turning towards Nana, he said, "Continue carrying me . This time, charge at full speed . Yes, just like that . "

Nana moved at full speed . Her speed had increased to a stable 1000 feet per second . Felina almost couldn't keep up . Rather than telling Nana to slow down, Link cast an acceleration spell on Felina . She instantly sped up and was right behind Nana .

"Link, we've already lost him so why do we still have to go so fast?" Felina still felt that she was using up too much energy .

Link obviously had thought deeply about this . "Isendilan had always been pursuing us, and he's familiar with our speed," he explained . "Even if he can't find us, he can still guess our approximate location . At that time, if he uses a wide-range search spell, we'll be revealed . Running like this can make him miscalculate . As long as he can't find us with a search spell, we'll be truly safe!"

All this made Felina's head hurt, but thankfully, she understood . Gritting her teeth, she followed right behind Nana .

"Master, where are we going?"

"White Cloud City…but don't go directly south . It'll reveal our target . Go east first, and don't worry about leaving behind traces . We want to leave some marks to fool Isendilan . When we cover enough distance, we'll turn back . "

If they cared about their trail, they wouldn't be able to run quickly . If Link left some marks, Isendilan would definitely be tricked . This didn't mean he was stupid . It was because he could only find these marks so he would be forced to follow them . This was an overt trick .

"Got it," Nana answered and immediately changed her direction .

After traveling 65 miles, they'd gone around 70 miles with the distance covered before . "Okay," Link said . "We can slow down now . "

Felina let out a breath of relief . Even with Link's spell, she was still exhausted from running at full speed for so long . She glanced at Nana and saw that she was still composed . Felina had to admit that the magic puppet's speed was just crazy .

On the other hand, Link activated the Dimensional Jump without hesitation to go south . He still had more than 8000 Mana Points now . After drinking the perfect Mana potion, he recovered 2000 points and jumped five times quickly .

After wiping the traces like before, he finally took a breather . "Okay, now we should be able to go south slowly . Just be careful, and it'll be okay . "

…

Not even five minutes after Link left, a huge figure appeared in the sky . He came like a streak of dark red lightning, instantly hovering above where Link had used the Dimensional Jump .

He was almost 200 feet tall, comparable in size to the Red Dragon Queen . Dark red smoke wrapped around him . His eyes were blood red like burning fire . Here, he dove down and vaporized when he was 300 feet in the air .

The ball of vapor landed on the ground gently . When the fog dissipated, a man in a dark red Magician's robe appeared .

He had dark red hair, and his eyes gleamed red . His pale face was very handsome and ageless . He could be 20 years old, but his aura was like a timeworn elder .

He was the first traitor of the dragons—Red Dragon Duke Isendilan .

Standing in the gra.s.s, Isendilan looked around . This guy went from here so there should be footprints, a smell, or something, right?

A few seconds later, he indeed found footprints . There were three sets . One set was thin and looked like a girl's, but she was abnormally heavy—more than 200 pounds . Another set was wide and obviously a dragon . The last set was plain with average body weight . From the smell left in the air, it was probably a human .

Earlier, Isendilan could only faintly sense their location and send some threats, but he didn't know too much about the specifics .

Theron came back and said there's three of them . One is a Level-8 human Magician, one is an unbelievably fast human girl, and there's also Felina . It's a strange group .

Isendilan looked around . He tried to find the footprints of them leaving, but this time, he failed .

There aren't any departure marks . They just disappeared without a trace . Huh, this is annoying . Isendilan furrowed his brows . Pondering, he reached out . A golden glow shone from his fingertip, and he pointed in the air . It was the Spatial Eye .

Spatial Eye

Legendary Detection Spell

Description: The spell-caster marks the subtle energy in the surrounding s.p.a.ce so the spatial structure will show more clearly . This spell effectively helps the spell-caster track targets who use spatial magic to escape .

(Note: there is no way to hide!)

The air surrounding Isendilan s.h.i.+mmered, and the air within a 300-foot radius seemed to turn into water . There were various streaks of light and shadows that sketched out an accurate spatial structure .

Isendilan inspected carefully for a full two minutes . His brows started furrowing . These three really did use a spatial tunnel to escape, but the Magician's understanding of s.p.a.ce is comparable to me . He even wiped all traces .

What kind of enemy was the most difficult in the mortal world?

The first one was spatial Magicians . To these guys, s.p.a.ce was a sea . Whenever needed, they could go into the water and either escape to somewhere far away or stay hidden for a surprise attack . They were unstoppable .

Isendilan's traces were all cut off . He had no way of following them . The human Magician's tricks were too frightening, and he could even decode the resurrection technique . Isendilan must find him!

Thankfully, he had a more basic approach!

He used a teleportation spell, but it's an ad hoc teleportation, and they can't travel far . The limit is five miles . From their earlier speed, they could only go around 40 miles at most during this time . I'll look for them within a 60-mile radius!

With this thought in mind, Isendilan sat onto the ground and closed his eyes . A few seconds later, black-red light streaked across him for a few seconds . Then the light trembled violently and spread out at an unimaginable speed .

After around five seconds, an image appeared in Isendilan's mind .

No one in the east but there are signs of high-speed movement in the gra.s.s . They went east!

Isendilan opened his eyes with some fatigue . Searching within 60 miles was very consuming, and he was tired out . He still didn't find them, but he cackled .

Tricky Magician, you held back your speed earlier . Nice tricks and calculations but unluckily, I'm your opponent!

He stood up, transformed into a dragon, flapped his wings, and hurried east .
