Another World: The Failed Magician

The once enormous arena was reduced to ruins in the massive explosion.

The walls that could originally block magic of the Archmage level have also become part of the ruins.

The entire venue was filled with thick smoke.

He must be dead, being at the epicenter of the explosion!

Will and several other girls thought so.

But as an assassin in the team, she would not let her guard down until she saw the enemy's corpse.

The girl dressed in night clothes plunged into the thick smoke, quickly approaching the place where Lu Xuan had been.

Soon, the girl spotted a blurry figure in the thick smoke.

Is this for real?! How could they survive?!

Lu Xuan knelt on the ground, panting heavily. At the moment the Chaos Gate exploded, he gathered all the magic power he could muster in the entire area around himself, barely managing to block the explosion.

Lu Xuan tried to use his right hand to support himself and stand up, but found that he couldn't move his right hand at all.

Suddenly, Lu Xuan felt a murderous intent coming from behind him.

Lu Xuan immediately tried to cast a spell, but at that moment, there was no magic power around him; all of it had been used to defend against the explosion.

Lu Xuan could feel the threat of death drawing ever closer.

It seems this is the end, and it seems that in the end, it will not reach the level of the dean.

Just as the girl's dagger was about to pierce Lu Xuan's head, a sharp sword light pierced through the thick smoke at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

The girl could sense a terrifying aura locking onto her.

We're almost there, we can't back out now.

The moment the dagger touched Lu Xuan's skin, the sword light fell.

A hand holding a dagger appeared in mid-air.

Blood gushed from the girl's right arm.

There was no chance left, so I had to run.

Ignoring the gushing blood, the girl turned and tried to run away.

At that moment, the sound of a longsword piercing through flesh reached the girl's ears.

The girl lowered her head.

I saw the sharp blade.

A long sword had already pierced her body from behind.

The girl fell heavily to the ground.

After throwing away the longsword in her hand, Li Mengyu ignored it and ran quickly towards Lu Xuan.

Looking at Lu Xuan's battered body, Li Mengyu held him in her arms, her eyes filled with worry.

"how's it going?"

His tone was filled with worry and urgency.

"He won't die for now, but he's probably out of fighting ability."

After confirming Lu Xuan's condition, Li Mengyu, taking advantage of the thick smoke, picked Lu Xuan up and ran outside.

An arrow pierced through the thick smoke and shot towards the two fleeing men.

Li Mengyu turned around, extended two fingers, and drew them in the direction of the arrow. A sword aura struck the arrow precisely.

Although she managed to deflect the opponent's attack, Li Mengyu also had to stop in her tracks.

At that moment, a long red sword slashed towards Li Mengyu.

Li Mengyu swung her arms forcefully, throwing Lu Xuan, whom she was holding, towards a safe place.

With a thud, Lu Xuan fell to the ground.

It hurts.

Just as his body instinctively wanted to scream, Lu Xuan quickly covered his mouth with his right hand, biting his right hand hard to keep himself from making a sound.

He didn't want to distract Li Mengyu at this time.

Li Mengyu then sidestepped the attack.

Seeing that his first sword strike missed, Will immediately tried to strike again with his second sword strike to press his advantage.

After all, the opponent was a swordsman, but he had lost his precious sword, so his combat power must have been greatly weakened.

But Li Mengyu didn't give him that chance. Taking advantage of the moment when Will missed his attack, she struck Will's right arm with a palm.

With a "crack," the sound of bones breaking came from Will's right arm.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mengyu clenched her right fist, concentrated all the fighting spirit in her body onto her right hand, and punched Will in the head.

Will felt the threat of death from that punch.

Without a second thought, he released his right hand, concentrated the little remaining fighting spirit in his body into his right foot, and pushed off the ground with all his might.

Will instantly created distance between himself and Li Mengyu, causing Li Mengyu's attack to miss.

Li Mengyu did not continue to chase after him. She quickly picked up the longsword that Will had left on the ground.

As soon as Li Mengyu grasped the longsword, a sharp pain shot through her hand.

It was as if he was not holding a sword at all, but a piece of red-hot iron.

After confirming that the other party had not followed, Will revealed a mocking smile.

"Not everyone can wield the Holy Sword."

Despite the excruciating pain, Li Mengyu swung her longsword at Will.

But there was no reaction at all.

How could this be?

"I already told you, not everyone can use the Holy Sword. You don't actually think you can use it just by enduring excruciating pain, do you?"

Although Will's tone was full of sarcasm, he had already used this opportunity to back down.

Carly quickly raised her giant shield and stood in front of Will.

The girl, who had just been injured and lost her right arm, was lying next to Anna. The longsword that had pierced her body had been removed and placed beside her.

The girl who had been holding the longbow had now put it away and was casting healing magic on the dying girl. However, the girl's injuries were too severe, and the magic could only barely keep her alive.

Li Mengyu threw the holy sword in her hand towards the ruins.

She could tell that the enemy's fighting strength was probably not much left; their attack just now must have exhausted them.

Li Mengyu quickly turned around and ran towards Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan saw Li Mengyu running towards him from afar before he lowered his right hand.

Breathing heavily.

Will watched as Li Mengyu picked Lu Xuan up again.

His eyes were full of conflict.

He glanced back at the girl who was treating someone else, then looked at Carly, who was standing in front of him.

"How's the status?"

Carly shook her head very slightly.

As Will watched Lu Xuan and Li Mengyu run off into the distance, a cruel glint flashed in his eyes.

A strange token appeared in Will's hand without his knowledge.

He clenched his right hand tightly, and the token shattered, releasing a strange black aura.

The black mist slowly condensed in the air into the shape of a human head.

The face was very blurry, and the features were not clearly visible.

The head's mouth slowly opened.

"Contacting me at this time, it seems you've completed your mission?"

"We were about to succeed when King Wu, who appeared out of nowhere, disrupted our plans."

Seeing that the person didn't reply, Will hurriedly continued.

"Lokak, you'd better think this through! Lu Xuan is no longer capable of fighting. If you have any backup plans, use them quickly, or he'll be taken away soon. Don't say I didn't warn you!"

Before Will could finish speaking, the head vanished into thin air.
