Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 23 Dragon Knight in the Sky
On a street somewhere in Bo City.

Seven middle-aged wizards in standard raincoats were casting elementary magic spells at a giant-eyed fishy rat that suddenly jumped out from the roadside.

Soon, the giant-eyed rat was successfully killed.

With the death of the demon, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Nan, this is already the fourth giant-eyed fishy rat we've encountered. I'm running low on magic power. If we encounter a few more monsters, we won't be able to survive until we reach Anjie..."

The only ice mage in the team said to a middle-aged man who looked like the team leader.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man surnamed Nan frowned. After a moment's silence, he let out a deep sigh. "I've considered what you said, but right now, we can only hope we don't encounter more demons later. No matter what, we can't just abandon the child and run away."

The middle-aged man looked back and saw six petite figures covered by large raincoats hiding on the street thirty meters away from them. There were two mages beside these children, keeping an eye on the surrounding situation.

This group of people are all residents of the same residential complex, and these children are also the children of these mages themselves.

Even though they were dozens of meters apart, the man could still see the fear in the children's eyes. Not just fear, but also an infinite desire for life.

It is said that when disaster strikes, everyone flees, but among this group of children, the youngest is only seven or eight years old, and the oldest is no more than fifteen years old. What's more, among them is his own daughter. He can't possibly abandon her and run away alone.

After a few mages recovered a little, everyone continued on their journey. At this time, they were racing against time. As long as they did not reach the safe world, there was a risk of sudden death.

The group had only walked about a hundred meters when the wind mage who was leading the way ran back with a grim look on his face.

"Dozens of giant-eyed fishy rats appeared not far ahead. We have to take a detour."

The leading man nodded carefully after hearing this and said to his companions: "Old Lu"

"Cuckoo!!"

Just as the man was about to speak, everyone present heard a cry unique to giant-eyed fishy rats coming from all around.

"Damn it, it must be those giant-eyed fishy rats that discovered me just now. It's all my fault." The wind mage cursed angrily and fell into deep self-blame.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Old Wu and Old Liu, you two take the children and leave quickly. Leave the rest to us." The leading man hurriedly instructed the two people standing next to the children.

The two knew that time was precious, so without saying anything, they took the children and ran to the back.

The leading man then looked at the remaining companions around him and said, "Everyone, it's up to us now. Try to delay this as long as possible to buy time for the children to escape."

He didn't say anything about killing all the demons. Facing dozens of giant-eyed fishy rats, there was no chance for the seven beginner mages to survive.

Everyone present was mentally prepared for their fate. They couldn't run away, and they couldn't outrun the giant-eyed rat. The only option was to fight to the death.

"Cuckoo!!!!"

The cries of the giant-eyed fishy rat were getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, two giant-eyed rats quickly jumped out from a pile of discarded items beside the street, opened their huge fangs and bit towards one of the people.

The light mage was unable to dodge and his neck was bitten off by the giant-eyed rat, and blood splattered on the face of another person next to him.

"Lao Guo!"

Seeing one of his companions die in front of him, the leading man's eyes widened and the anger in his heart burst out uncontrollably.

"Damn giant-eyed rats, all of you die! Fire burst! Explosion!!"

The leading man threw the red fireball in his hand at one of the giant-eyed rats.

The fireball exploded violently the moment it hit it, and the swirling flames enveloped the other giant-eyed rat.

Hearing the demon's painful howls, the anger in his heart subsided a little.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, dozens of giant-eyed fishy rats surrounded them from all directions.

Although they had prepared themselves mentally, when the moment finally came, the remaining people couldn't help but express despair. Before long, the entire mage team was annihilated.

Before he died, the leading man kept looking in the direction where his daughter had escaped.

the other side.

Old Wu and Old Liu, who were fleeing in a hurry with their six children, also encountered a fatal crisis.

Unfortunately, they were discovered by two one-eyed demon wolves.

One of them is earth-type and the other is fire-type, and both of them have only reached the second level of the beginner stage. They can't threaten the one-eyed demon wolf at all, let alone two of them.

"Jinxuan, you're the older sister. Hurry and hide with your brothers and sisters. Whether you can survive depends on your luck." Earth Mage Old Wu said with a determined look on his face, "Old Liu and I will do our best to hold these two beasts back."

"Uncle Wu." The little girl Nan Jinxuan bit her lips tightly. The tear marks on her face had not dried yet, but the tears kept flowing down again.

She had just lost her father, and now even her closest friend, Uncle Wu, was about to leave her.

She didn't know if she could survive. She only knew that even if she was lucky enough to survive this disaster, she would have no relatives in this world.

"Walk!!"

Old Liu on the side urged.

He noticed that the two one-eyed demon wolves were already getting ready to move, and they had no time to waste.

I don’t know if these children have strong endurance or they have become numb, but although they are all crying at the moment, no one breaks down and screams.

Led by Nan Jinxuan, several children quickly ran towards a grocery store on the left side of the street.

The reason why they didn't run somewhere else was because Nan Jinxuan knew that there was no magician protecting them anymore.

Only by finding a corner to hide can they have a greater chance of survival. As for the safe world, they no longer have the chance to reach it.

Enter the grocery store.

Nan Jinxuan originally wanted to help her brothers and sisters find a safer place first. Before she could start, the youngest boy in the team spoke up, "Sister Jinxuan, I want to take a look at the door first."

The little boy bit his lips tightly, his eyes full of hatred and unwillingness.

He is Old Wu's son, and he knows that his father may leave him forever.

But he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Maybe his father could defeat the hateful demon?
The little boy is only seven years old this year. In his heart, his father has always been a hero, an omnipotent hero.

So he had to see the outcome of this battle with his own eyes.

"Okay, I'll watch it with you." Looking at the little boy's eyes, Nan Jinxuan did not refuse.

If there is no time to hide later, then there is no need to hide. She has nothing anyway.

When she pulled the little boy to the door, she saw a one-eyed demon wolf gnawing on Old Liu's body, and another wolf opened its bloody mouth and bit Old Wu, who had no time to dodge.

"Uncle Wu!"

"Dad~~"

Just as the two men were shouting in panic, they saw two huge rock spikes shooting down from the sky and directly piercing through the heads of the two one-eyed demon wolves.

The brother and sister quickly looked up at the sky.

In the sky, they saw a giant brown dragon that they had never seen before flying past.

The brother and sister seemed to vaguely see a figure standing on top of the dragon's head.
