Powerful Beasts of Magic
"Just as I expected!"
Link was so excited that he could hardly contain himself!
What the Big-Eyed Demon meant was that from now on, all he needed to do was gather gold coins to level up without a care in the world!
With such an incredible cheat, what was there to fear?
And wasn't it just about making money?
With his newfound strength and the assistance of so many undead creatures by his side, how could he possibly run out of funds?
Thinking of this, Link was nearly overwhelmed with excitement!
"Big-Eyed Demon, I'm off!"
With that, Link didn't wait for the Big-Eyed Demon's reaction and directly left his realm of the undead!
He could hardly wait to teach those two "masters" who dared to embezzle his family's wealth a lesson!
In a range of rolling mountains, a finely crafted carriage adorned with the emblem of the Launces family was slowly making its way along a winding mountain path.
Gerard and Norton sat at the front of the carriage, driving it forward while engaging in casual conversation.
Inside the carriage, Ron looked at Link, who was sprawled out and sound asleep, with a speechless expression. He thought to himself that the way his young master was sleeping was no different from a vegetative state!
Just then, Link suddenly opened his eyes!
"Young Master, you're awake?" Ron asked anxiously upon seeing this.
"Mm!"
Link nodded, instinctively looking around, only to realize that it was already dark outside. He had unknowingly slept through an entire day!
"Young Master, are you hungry? Should I ask the two masters to stop and set up camp to cook?" Ron quickly inquired.
"No need!"
Link smirked at Ron's suggestion, finally feeling fully awake. He was just about to summon his Bone Warriors to settle the score with Norton and Gerard!
At that moment!
"Stop!"
With a deep command, Norton suddenly pulled the reins, bringing the entire carriage to a steady halt!
"What's going on, old friend?" Gerard asked, puzzled.
"Something feels off!" Norton said, frowning as he scanned the surrounding dense forest with caution.
"What's off? What do you mean?" Gerard pressed, not understanding why Norton had taken such action.
"Gerard, don't you think it's too quiet here?" Norton raised his magic staff, adopting a defensive stance!
As a mage, his mental acuity was exceptionally strong, and his perception far surpassed that of Gerard, a warrior!
"Quiet?" Gerard frowned, still trying to grasp the situation!
However, Link, who was inside the carriage, felt a stir in his heart upon hearing this. He then realized that the dense forest around him was indeed eerily silent, not a single sound to be heard!
It was well known that a forest is a paradise for flora and fauna, teeming with insects and birds!
Moreover, it was the height of summer, the time when these creatures were most active. How could there be not even a whisper of sound?
"This is bad!"
Finally, Gerard also sensed something was wrong and quickly drew the massive sword strapped to his back!
At that moment, a loud "whoosh" echoed as a three-meter-long wind blade suddenly shot out from the depths of the forest, hurtling toward the carriage where Link sat!
"Watch out!"
Both Gerard and Norton's expressions changed dramatically!
Fortunately, they were already prepared. Gerard raised his massive sword without hesitation and swung it at the wind blade, the sword glowing with a faint crimson aura as it sliced through the air with a sharp whoosh!
"Ice Wall!"
Norton followed closely, waving his staff to cast an instant spell. A two-meter-high, one-meter-thick wall made entirely of solid ice appeared before them, sealing off the carriage completely!
In the next moment, there was a loud "bang" as Gerard collided with the wind blade, unable to withstand its immense force, and was sent flying over ten meters away!
The wind blade continued its path, shattering Norton's "Ice Wall" before finally dissipating into the air!
Crackling sounds echoed as shards of ice flew in all directions, startling the horses pulling the carriage, which let out a terrified whinny and broke free from the reins, galloping deep into the forest!
Only then did the culprit behind the wind blade leap out from the depths of the forest—a massive tiger, pitch black with purple patterns, standing over two meters tall!
"This... This is a Level 9 magical beast, the 'Magic Pattern Black Wind Tiger'!"
Seeing the tiger, Norton was taken aback, nearly dropping his staff in shock!
"How could such a powerful magical beast exist in these wild mountains? This is illogical!"
On the other side, Gerard, who had been knocked back by the wind blade, also caught sight of the beast and turned pale, trembling in fear!
