Iya Continent: Card God

Beneath the hill, the rat gang of bandits formed a fierce and menacing array, wielding sharp weapons.

Lin Ta's expression was solemn and serious, his eyes darting back and forth, watching every move.

"Ha ha……"

Jim Maggie, the leader, grinned smugly, eager to see this fool beg for mercy and cry.

Linta watched the approaching enemy and continued upwards, climbing up the mountainside as if he had driven himself into a corner. He had nowhere to run.

“You’re asking for it… you idiot,” Jim Maggie scoffed.

Linta watched the situation unfold with great satisfaction.

Excellent, the enemy has been drawn to one place.

They all stayed completely away from Jim Maggie!

From the mountaintop, the bandits and thieves were now completely out of reach of Jim Maggie. This meant that, with Jim Maggie under attack, they were unable to provide rapid support.

"call……"

Linta relaxed his mind and body, taking deep breaths.

At this moment, his eyes were resolute and focused, and his mind was extremely concentrated.

Previously, whether it was luring these bandits to chase me or escaping here, although I used the "Swift Wind" ability, it was just a simple use, the kind of use that allowed the other party to see my fleeing figure completely.

In other words, the opponent didn't realize they were using magical skills; they were simply running fast. It was like Shia's pure agility after she was banned from magic.

Now, I must...

"Go! He has nowhere to run!" A thief raised his weapon and shouted as he charged forward.

Then, "Whoosh—!"

A fierce gust of wind swept down towards us, so fast that we couldn't even see its shadow.

Jim Maggie, who was looking up from the foot of the mountain, was watching with smug satisfaction as the Linta Demon was captured when suddenly, it vanished from his sight.

"Forehead?"

Before Jim Magee could fully process what was happening, a dark shadow flickered before his eyes like a dragon's tail.

"boom!"

The feeling of a heavy blow hit my body, and pain swept through my entire body.

"Ouch!" Jim Maggie screamed as his body fell backward uncontrollably.

After falling, my vision gradually cleared up, and I could see the situation more clearly.

Linta rushed down from above and delivered a flying kick, striking his own chest directly. Before he could react, he was sent flying backward.

"drink!"

After taking a quick breath and catching his breath, Linta continued to run.

This is all I can do.

As a transmigrator, I received no training in any skills during the first half of my life, and I don't possess the ruthless killing moves of Shia. I merely rely on my supernatural powers to create imagined attacks.

The key is to strike unexpectedly and catch the opponent off guard. To imagine defeating the opponent with the power of a swift wind is a sure path to certain death. I am not yet qualified for that.

Jim Maggie is a mid-level Bronze-rank magic user, so he might be able to defeat her once, but the second time, she will definitely be able to retaliate with magic. Moreover, with that group of bandits supporting her, her own mental energy is simply insufficient to deal with them all.

"Let's go, let's go," Linta muttered.

Before my mental energy is depleted and I fall into exhaustion, I must get rid of them.

"Whoosh!" "Swoosh!"

In the blink of an eye, Linta's figure disappeared from the sight of Jim Maggie and the others.

Jim Magee never expected that his opponent could use such a miraculous skill.

"What... happened? Wasn't his magic power sealed by the magic-suppressing ring? Could it be... a lie? He's just trying to fool us..."

Jim gritted his teeth and roared furiously, his face flushed, "Chase him! Chase him! Whoever catches him will be rewarded with 30 silver coins!"

Upon hearing such a high bounty, the thieves and bandits' chaotic thoughts instantly turned into a single-minded focus on capturing and pursuing Linta, and their fierce and menacing aura became even more intense and ruthless.

They swarmed in, eager to chase after them.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a dark shadow flew down from the sky and crashed in front of everyone's path.

The appearance of the dark figure sent chills down everyone's spines; their eyes widened, and they dared not step forward.

A bloody, ugly head.

That's right, it was the head of their band of thief rats' leader.

That ugly face, those gaping front teeth, those terrified eyes—it was undeniably shocking.

Jim Maggie's heart skipped a beat, and he was also greatly alarmed.

To everyone's surprise, the bandit leader was actually dead!

He, a high-level Bronze-rank cultivator, was killed by a few guys who couldn't use magic? That's ridiculous. While such things do happen, though…

"It's fake, the magic-suppressing ring is fake..."

Jim Maggie muttered to himself, self-importantly.

Linta's use of the card power "Swift Wind" had misled him, leading him to believe that the magic-suppressing rings everyone held were fake. He thought no one's magic power was actually imprisoned; it was just a case of feigning weakness to deceive others.

This high-ranking bronze-level rat bandit leader must have been killed by the enemy's surprise attack.

"That must be it!"

Jim was grateful for his timely realization; if he had continued to act recklessly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Jim Maggie took a deep breath, dusted himself off, regained his noble demeanor, and calmly left the place, heading back to Shankan City.

As for the bandits whose leader had died, let them do whatever they want.

The rat gang members, seeing their leader dead, were thrown into disarray and panic, completely at a loss. Their hired hand, Jim, ignored them and left alone, leaving them even more bewildered.

It is unknown how much time passed before they dispersed and disappeared into the mountains.

Only that ugly head remained, left to be eaten away and weathered by insects.

……

“Drink…drink…”

Linta stopped in a secluded grove of trees, breathing heavily.

The all-out escape had taken a heavy toll on his mental energy. However, he should have managed to shake off the bandits and thieves by now.

Next, we'll meet up with everyone.

“You really know how to escape…” a familiar, cold voice suddenly rang out.

"Forehead?!"

Linta's eyes widened as the graceful figure of the elven girl leaped down from the treetops above.

Beneath his cold face, sweat dripped down, and a hint of resentment lingered in his eyes, suggesting that the pursuit had been quite arduous. Had Linta not stopped to rest, they probably wouldn't have even encountered him.

"Shia, you..."

"I don't want to talk..." Shia said wearily, struggling to finish her sentence.

I had intended to help him, but this guy was too fast. All I could do was throw out the head of the rat gang leader as a deterrent. The rest was just catching up with him and explaining the situation. But right now, I didn't want to say anything.

Linta didn't bother to say anything more and continued to breathe to recover.

His gaze was fixed, lost in thought.

He pondered the matter of Dorn Maggie. The man was indeed not foolish; in fact, he was quite cunning. However, his son, Jim Maggie, was far less so. Jim's revenge against everyone indirectly exposed his father's scheming.

Next…
