Chapter 256 Ten Versus Three [Part 2]
The Dragon flew quite fast, and before the Leader of the group could even react, its tail had already lashed out in his direction.
““Praesidium!””
The two Wizards from Stormchaser Academy pointed their wands in front of their Leader and swiftly erected a blue barrier to protect him from the Dragon’s Tail attack.
The sound of glass breaking could be heard, and the barrier broke apart.
However, the Leader of the group took advantage of the slight delay in order to retreat a safe distance with his flying broom.
“Aqua Pila Verberare!” Lilian chanted and summoned a barrage of Water Balls in order to break apart the group’s formation.
“Sagittae Lucis!” Cedric joined his sister and unleashed countless Arrows of Light towards their enemies, forcing them to evade his attacks.
Truth be told, after losing the duel in the Grand Arena, their impression of Cedric had decreased drastically.
They had heard that he was a Prodigy, but after his fight with Ethan, the other academies no longer treated him as a genius.
However, now that they were facing the unending stream of arrows from him, they realized one thing.
‘This guy is strong,’ the Leader of the group thought.
The other members of his group had the same thought.
Ethan made it look like fighting against Cedric was easy.
But now that they were on the receiving end of his attacks, they immediately realized that he wasn’t a foe to be taken lightly.
They then decided to take him out first, but that was a big mistake on their part.
Luna and Lilian weren’t any weaker than Cedric, especially the young lady who had awakened a part of her Legacy.
“Puvia Imbrem!” Lilian shouted as she pointed towards the sky.
A complete Legacy would have allowed her to summon moderate to heavy rain in order to assist her in battle.
However, since her Legacy was still incomplete, although she had become stronger, she still couldn’t use her full potential.
A light drizzle fell from the sky, which the group of Wizards and Witches ignored.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey didn’t detect any harmful effects from the pitiful droplets of rainwater that were falling over their bodies.
However, none of them expected what happened next.
“Acus Pluvia!”
The falling rain suddenly transformed into thin needles that pricked her opponents in places that weren’t covered by their robes.
The needles stabbed their hands, necks, and faces, which made the Wizards and Witches cry out in pain.
Cedric glanced at his sister in surprise because he never knew that Lilian had this trick up her sleeve.
He had also noticed that his sister’s magical attack was stronger than ever, which made him wonder how she was able to become strong in such a short period of time.
Although she wasn’t as powerful as him, she wasn’t far from it either.
Aside from his sister, Luna surprised him as well.
He thought that the angelic beauty wasn’t that strong of a Witch. But after seeing her control the Ethereal Dragon made up of pure Magical Energy, his impression of her rose higher by a notch.
While their enemies were busy trying to evade the Arrows of Light and the Needle-Like Rain, the Ethereal Dragon mercilessly used its claws, tail, and jaws to deal physical damage to them.
A Witch and a Wizard had already been sent flying by the Dragon’s attacks, and both of them received serious injuries from the blow.
Had they been hit without their magical robes and protective charms, the Dragon might have fatally wounded them or shattered their bones.
“Retreat!” the Leader of the group shouted as he flew toward the Witch who had fallen into a tree and carried her away.
His comrades hastily obeyed his order, and one of them grabbed the other injured Wizard and flew away in haste before the Dragon could target him.
They didn’t plan to go far and only made a strategic retreat in order to heal their comrades and change their strategy.
Luna, Lilian, and Cedric knew this as well, so they decided that it would be best if they left the clearing as soon as possible to find a safe place to hide.
Suddenly, Luna felt a faint connection coming from the South. One of her comrades had come within the range of the magical pins that Professor Barret had left them.
“Let’s head South,” Luna said with determination. “One of my schoolmates is there.”
Cedric frowned. “We should just hide. If we travel in that direction, we might come across the academies that are targeting the members of your academy.”
Lilian didn’t say anything because she was torn between Luna and Cedric. In the end, she remained silent and simply waited for Luna’s decision.
“You don’t have to come with me,” Luna said as she summoned her flying broom. “I can go there by myself.”
Without another word, she sped towards the South, leaving Cedric and Lilian behind.
“Brother, what are we going to do?” Lilian asked.
Cedric’s frown deepened. But in the end, he summoned his flying broom.
“We’re going after her,” Cedric stated. “We can’t leave her alone.”
Lilian sighed in relief because she also wanted to stay by Luna’s side and earn her recognition.
Soon, the two teenagers caught up with Luna and flew on her left and right side.
Luna gave them a casual glance before shifting her gaze to where she could sense her schoolmate.
They flew as low as possible, flying just a few meters above the forest floor.
Doing so would prevent the group of Wizards and Witches, who attacked them earlier, from sensing which direction they headed.
A few minutes later, they saw someone flying in their direction, also riding a flying broom.
This time, it was Luna’s turn to breathe a sigh of relief, seeing that it was her brother flying towards her.
Rowan, who recognized her sister, felt as if one of his worries had disappeared.
He had been very worried about his sister, so seeing her safe made him feel relieved.
‘She’s with the students from Nightfall Academy,’ Rowan thought.
After what happened between their two academies, there had been a slight tension within their relationship.
Brynhildr Academy was a Neutral Academy, and this neutrality extended toward Nightfall Academy.
Both of them co-existed without pointing their wands at each other, until the incident where Cedric challenged Ethan to a duel.
Also, Rowan automatically didn’t like anyone who was trying to court his sister.
The moment he saw Cedric, the first thought in his mind was to take Luna away and look for their other acquaintance inside the Legacy Domain.
“I’m glad you’re safe,” Rowan said as soon as his sister arrived in front of him. “Are you hurt anywhere?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe noticed that her robe had a few rough patches here and there, and he was worried that his sister might have gotten injured in battle.
“I am fine, brother,” Luna replied. “But it’s not safe here. We’re running away from a group of ten.”
She briefly explained what had happened, and how Cedric and Lilian sided with her during the exchange.
When her brother heard about this, his gaze turned cold, and a faint killing intent oozed out from his body.
“If we don’t find a place to hide, it is very possible that they might be able to hunt us using a tracking spell,” Luna said with a worried look on her face.
This was only her first day inside the Legacy Domain, yet one of her Magical Bracelets had already been drained by half.
If possible, she wanted to save her magical batteries until the very last moment.
Rowan wanted to say “let them come!”, but since he didn’t want to risk Luna getting hurt, he just nodded his head in agreement.
“I know a good place to hide,” Rowan stated. “I found myself near a cave when I arrived here. Although it’s a bit far, it’s well hidden. We can rest there for the time being.”
Rowan eyed Cedric and Lilian and wondered if the two of them would come with them.
Although he didn’t like the handsome blonde teenager, he still kept appearances since he couldn't deny that they had protected his sister when she was targeted by the Wizards and Witches from their rival academies.
“Are you going to come with us?” Rowan asked in a calm manner. “Or are you going to look for your teammates?”
Cedric gave Luna a sidelong glance before nodding his head.
“We will come with you,” Cedric replied. “There is strength in numbers, and we still don’t know if that group will track us down. For the time being, let us cooperate until we find more of our teammates. It never hurts to have more people on our side.”
‘That's what you say, but do you think I can't tell that you just want to be with my sister?’ Rowan snorted internally but kept his thoughts to himself.
“Okay, come with us,” Rowan replied. “Just don’t drag us down.”
Rowan then flew in the direction of the cave where he first appeared after entering the Legacy Gate.
Luna, Lilian, and Cedric followed behind him.
Luna’s older brother had been briefed by Henry that the Deathseeker Forest was the most dangerous region of the Domain.
It was vast and extended for hundreds of miles, and it was also the location of the Boss Monster that Nightfall Academy was planning to capture.
Brynhildr Academy had no intention of engaging such a powerful monster, but currently, Rowan and Luna were stuck inside it.
Without knowing where this monster would appear, it would be best to stay with a group of people because it was safer that way.
Rowan had seen many magical creatures inside the forest ranging from Dire Bears, Dire Wolves, and other creatures that would pose a grave threat to ordinary Wizards and Witches. This was a pretty normal thing considering that the Legacy Domain was a closed-off world.
Yet he was told that none of these creatures would be able to stand up against the Boss Monster, who was somewhere within the Forest.
A Monster patiently waiting for the right conditions to make its appearance known to the delicious prey that had appeared inside its domain.
