Another World: The Failed Magician

In the depths of a mountain forest shrouded in night, a small team of about ten people was fleeing in panic.

The leader was a girl dressed in black martial arts attire with a high ponytail.

The girl held the long sword in her hand, slicing through the branches blocking her way, and occasionally looked back at her teammates behind her.

A blue-haired boy followed closely behind the girl, his hands already soaked in blood, yet he still gripped a silver-white longbow tightly, constantly alert to his surroundings.

The other teammates behind him were all injured as well.

At this moment, the girl reminded us in a clear voice: "Hang in there! Once we get through this, we can go back. Keep going!"

Just then, a fireball flew over from a distance, but a shield of light blocked it.

"boom!"

After a loud bang, the mage at the very back of the group clutched his chest wound tightly, and the staff in his hand shattered in the crash.

The mage shouted at his teammates who were about to come to his aid, "Go! Don't worry about me!"

After saying that, he tossed his spatial ring to his teammate, turned around with difficulty without looking back, slowly got up, and walked in the opposite direction from his teammate.

The girl also saw this scene. She bit her lip hard, until it bled.

With tears welling in her eyes, the girl shouted, "Let's go!"

Seeing this, the other teammates had no choice but to follow the girl.

The mage watched his teammates gradually disappear into the distance, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

At that moment, a group of people dressed in black appeared before him, and a cold glint flashed in the mage's eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, he charged towards the group of men in black, his depleted magical power suddenly churning chaotically.

The men in black recognized the mage; what was he about to do? The leader of the men in black shouted, "Back off! This kid's going to self-destruct!"

"boom!"

A loud bang echoed through the mountains and forests, and all the wild animals and birds in the vicinity fled in panic.

Upon hearing the noise, the girl in the lead quickly led the group forward without turning her head, but where no one could see, tears were already streaming down her face.

……

In the shadows, a green figure stood before a crystal, and the image projected from the crystal was the scene of the mage's self-destruction.

If Lu Xuan were here, he would definitely recognize that emerald green figure as the female elf who had attacked him earlier.

Just then, a handsome man dressed in the same turquoise clothes walked over. The man had the same pointed ears as the female elf.

The male elf looked at the image in the crystal and said with some reluctance, "Are we really doing the right thing?"

The female elf coldly replied, "If you have any objections, you may leave. I can complete the task on my own!"

The male elf looked at the female elf with a cold expression and said with a hint of regret, "Nivea, you weren't like this before."

The female elf glared at him and said, "Coward! If you don't like it, you can get out! I'll do anything for the benefit of the elven race."

The male elf, with a hint of anger, questioned, "The Elf King has only made a prophecy. Can't we take it slowly? Besides, nobody knows whether the prophecy is true or false!"

Hearing these harsh words, Nivea became even angrier and said, "Viko! What do you mean by that? Are you questioning the Elf King?"

Vico said coldly, "I just think it's not worth doing these things for those vague prophecies!"
