Dragon-blooded Wizard - Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Counterattack

The young man immediately felt that something was wrong. He looked down and saw that a purple-black fireball had already condensed.

“How is that possible?” The young man was shocked. He could not understand how Noah could still release magic.

It was impossible for him to understand. The distance between them was so short that the young man had no chance to react. Noah just pushed the fireball forward gently, and the purple-black fireball directly penetrated the young man’s body. It could even destroy the armor of the Horned Scorpion Tiger, let alone the human body.

Disbelief was written all over the young man’s face as he knelt on the ground. Red blood flowed out of his mouth. There was a basketball-sized hole in his abdomen that ran through his entire body, and his internal organs and intestines were also overturned.

Noah slowly sat up.

“Don’t blame me for doing this to you. If you want to kill me, you must be prepared to be killed by me. However, you are right about one thing. This world is indeed cruel. I don’t even know your name, but you died in my hands.”

The young man did not understand what Noah was saying, but it did not matter anymore. He had lost because of his arrogance. If he had been able to kill Noah from the start, he would not have died.

However, there were no ‘ifs’ in this world. They only looked at the result, and the result was that he would die!

After a while, the young man unwillingly closed his eyes and bid farewell to this world.

“Is it worth it? For a stone, you’re willing to give up your life?” Noah muttered to himself.

After a long time, Noah dug a hole in the ground. “Although you want to kill me, you said that you would bury me if I died. But now that you’re dead, I will also bury you.” After saying that, Noah pushed the young man’s body into the pit.

He then picked up a stone of moderate size from the side and stuck it in front of the young man’s grave.

“When a person dies, there’s nothing left!”

Noah suddenly said. It was unknown if he was saying it for the young man or for himself.

Perhaps it was both.

Noah turned around and mounted the wind-chasing horse. He then looked at the wind chasing foal that the young man was riding.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to let the wind chasing foal destroy itself.

After that, Noah lowered his head and said to the wind-chasing horse under him, “Can you find your companions? Take me to them.” Noah did not know why he asked this question, but he felt that the wind-chasing horse could lead him to Lily and the others.

Sure enough, the next moment, without Noah’s order, the horse started to run Northwest.

“Are you sure about this?”

On the other side, Lily had also broken out of the Horned Scorpion Tigers’ encirclement under the protection of Kane and David. They were covered in blood and more or less injured. It was obvious that they had not had an easy time on the way.

After a while, another adventurer riding a wind-chasing horse joined them.

“Where are the others?”

“Mike and Vivian…” The adventurer who had just arrived wanted to say something but stopped. It was obvious that the two people he had mentioned did not survive.

Kane clenched his fists. “These damn magical beasts, one day I will kill them all!”

Lily also said, “Kane, send 100 gold coins to their family when you go back. Take good care of their family!”

“I thank you on their behalf,” Kane said gratefully.

“They died protecting me. This is what I should do, and the only thing I can do.”

After a while, a few more adventurers arrived.

There were seven of them, including Lily and the others.

“What about the mage?” Kane asked.

I saw Yuri protecting the mage. I wonder where they went?” Someone replied.

“Miss…” Kane turned to look at Lily for her opinion.

“Let’s wait a little longer. He’s an official mage. If we can rush out, he should be fine too.”

Hearing this, everyone began to wait patiently.

After a long time, everyone was about to lose their patience. Even Lily was wondering if Noah had met with an accident. Suddenly, the crisp sound of horse hooves came.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Noah’s wind-chasing horse that was carrying him.

Lily heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.

Noah also saw the crowd. “Good job, buddy.

You didn’t let me down.” Noah stroked the wind chasing foal beneath him.

The wind-chasing horse seemed to understand Noah’s words and neighed happily.

A moment later, Noah pulled back the reins and stopped.

“Sir, are you alright?” Kane stepped forward and asked.

Noah shook his head. The original wound on his body had miraculously healed without leaving a single mark. The only mark was probably his torn clothes.

“Where’s Yuri? I heard he’s with you,” Kane asked again.

Hearing the name Yuri, Noah’s heart tightened.

This should be the name of the young adventurer who wanted to kill him.

“How should I explain this? They don’t understand what you’re saying.” In order to avoid any misunderstandings, Noah began to gesture.

However, no one understood what Noah meant. Lily seemed to have understood.

“You’re saying that Yuri died under the poison of the Horned Scorpion Tigers?”

Noah nodded.

Upon hearing this news, the gloominess on everyone’s faces increased by another notch. The people in the team were all partners who had been through life and death all year round. Although they were not blood-related, they were all like brothers and sisters. Now that they had lost three of them at once, everyone’s heart felt extremely heavy.

Kane and the others did not doubt the news. It was inevitable to be injured by such a large number of magical beasts, but Lily was suspicious. Noah’s magic was stronger than hers. With Yuri, even if they could not kill the Horned Scorpion Tigers, they should be able to survive. Moreover, the speed of the wind-chasing horse was so fast that Horned Scorpion Tigers could not catch up. Although she had doubts, Lily did not pursue the matter. After all, Noah had saved their lives, so she was willing to believe Noah. Noah finally heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding due to communication problems, but everything went well and he was not suspected.

In the end, the group successfully survived the siege of the Horned Scorpion Tigers at the cost of losing three adventurers. They did not dare to delay any longer and rushed toward Cozovo city without stopping. Finally, after two days, the group finally saw the city that they had been longing for…
