Age of Adepts

Chapter 0949 - Angry Pursuit

How scary it is when a rabbit is desperate to bite back, Katie now finally knows!

All along, the battle between her and Grim had been the one in which Knife Katie had taken the absolute initiative.

As a mechanical sorcerer, all of Knife Kitty's combat skills almost never required spell casting, and all of her sorcery abilities were used to strengthen her fighting abilities and offensive methods. Therefore, when fighting in close quarters, she tends to be most able to restrain those elemental sorcerers who have powerful elemental sorcery, but need wide space.

Although Grim belonged to some sort of alternative class among elemental sorcerers, with close-combat abilities comparable to fire sorcery, it was still much more juvenile and crude compared to Katy.

If there was no elemental magic weapon to assist, or if Katie was willing to make some sacrifices, I'm afraid Grim would have already suffered under her three-dimensional compound multiple attacks.

Of course, this was just Knife Katy's self-perception!

But now, when she took advantage of the situation to sneak up on Grim and destroyed that ray of holy light as well, it obviously triggered Grim's fury.

As a result, Grim, who had always been calm and steady, also became impulsively furious and went so far as to bring his elemental magic weapon down in pursuit.

Under the guidance of a group of low-ranking wind spirits in the sky, let the knife Katie how to climb over the mountains and mountains, through the forest and streams, Grim although she will be shaken off, but it will not take long to quickly catch up.

After chasing and fleeing in the middle of the night, Knife Kitty suddenly realized that something bad was happening.

That damned wizard had numerous elemental puppets to take his place, and all he had to do was sit on top of the elemental magic puppets and command the elemental magic weapons to run rampant. She, on the other hand, could only laboriously run on the ground herself.

If placed in perfect condition, with Blade-Katie's physique, this kind of chase would last for three days and three nights, and she would be able to persevere. But now, she was covered in wounds just when she desperately needed to rest and heal, but she had to playfully flee under the fire witch's drive.

Healing wounds took stamina, and fleeing even more so, and she was partial to not having time to stop and replenish her stamina. Plus, she also took a hard hit from the toxin attacks of that plague spirit during the battle, though most of the toxin damage was directly immune to the super-high constitution. However, the residual toxins were still continuing to destroy her body.

Katie had also swallowed some powerful antidotes, but unfortunately, the plague poison spirit attached to her body was the most difficult compound curse to remove. Without first removing the curse, those toxins would never be cleaned up.

Thus, Katie couldn't even squeeze out half a quarter of an hour, so she had to flee with the curse and toxins all over the world!

Of course, as she fled, Katie had plotted to launch some kind of counterattack. Unfortunately, that male wizard seemed to have learned his lesson and had his elemental magic weapon protecting him almost inch by inch.

Under such circumstances, even Katie didn't dare to turn back to take up the fight, so she had to grit her teeth and muffle her escape!

The two sorcerers, in their pursuit and escape, had unknowingly traveled over 300 kilometers. And their reckless pursuit and escape naturally attracted the intervention of the Zambis Empire's regular army.

Harkans.

This was a peaceful and tranquil city located on a vast plain.

As the capital of the northern county of the Zambesian Empire, Harkans was also known as a major military town.

Every day, as many as two to three thousand merchants and pedestrians traveled to and from the city, and a constant stream of caravans filled up the roads leading to Harkans.

However, as the carriages were slowly moving forward in the river-like flow of traffic, smoke and dust suddenly billowed in the distance of the plain, and then came the heart-rending sound of howling. An invisible commotion spread from far and near, slowly affecting everyone in the long river of traffic.

The traveling caravans and pedestrians all had an ominous feeling in their hearts, looking towards the source of the commotion, while some shrewd guys had already left the convoy and started to slip away to the surrounding grasslands.

Just as the crowd was unsure and terrified, a terrible spiritual pressure that words cannot describe passed over the long convoy with a whistling harsh wind.

No one could see clearly what the flashing golden figure was, not even whether it was a person or an object. But the other party's wind was so sharp and piercing that everyone couldn't help but cover their ears, and their bodies trembled as they let out painful mouths and mouths.

After the fierce wind rolled over, everyone's ears and eyes dripped blood, and they looked terrified, not knowing what was happening.

In the meantime, some people who had recovered quickly from the screeching sound waves suddenly pointed their fingers in the distance and let out a heart-breaking scream.

The crowd looked back in trepidation, only then did they see a large and a small two huge creatures rampaging all the way over.

The larger one, which seemed to be a python made purely of solid rock, crushed countless lorries and wagons along the way, meandering forward without any delay. On the side of the rock python, a tall metallic giant with a dazzling red mane all over its body was also trudging forward with a heavy, rumbling pace.

Any wagons and pedestrians that stood in their way would be crushed by them like bumps of dirt. Wherever they passed, people were tossed over, goods were dumped everywhere, and everywhere there were people's miserable screaming voices and scattered figures running away.

Those with sharp eyes could clearly see a tall human figure in red robes sitting on top of the skull of a huge rock python, gazing into the distance with eyes as cold as fire and lightning, seemingly oblivious to everything happening beneath him.

The wizard....

It was a wizard from a different world....

There were naturally some understanding people in the crowd who quickly figured out the identities of the two parties pursuing them.

But with their strength, what could they do against a 3rd rank wizard from a different realm?

When some irrational fellow copied up a stone or broken board and smashed it into the huge rock python that was meandering around, it finally caught the attention of that tall sorcerer.

Thus, in the next second, a pale red flame boundary quickly enveloped the area.

Almost as soon as the flame boundary enveloped the surrounding area, this area became an ocean of flames.

The terrifying magical flames instantly ignited everything within the boundary, wagons, goods, sacks, boards, pedestrians, grass, and even the dark and oily earth all began to melt rapidly under the blaze of the violent flames.

It was like holding up a circular incinerator, as the giant rock python moved forward, all life and matter rapidly melted away under the terrifying flames and ashes.

The people blocking the road in front of the flame boundary immediately fled from the carriage in a mad rush, scrambling to stay away from the trade route.

In the distance, the city of Harkans was also rapidly ringing with urgent alarm bells.

As the most prosperous and important central city in the northern part of the Zambis Empire, Harkans City naturally had a large number of Holy Knights stationed there as well.

A group of Paladins had just arrived at the nearest city gate on their horses, and they ran head-on into the whistling Blade-Katie.

After trying to flee to various places, but still couldn't get rid of the berserker fire witch, she had no choice but to lead them to the northern town with the highest concentration of Paladins.

Perhaps the dense crowd and the many Paladins here would be the only way to get rid of the fire witch's mad chase.

The most powerful of the Paladins who came to support them was also a 2nd rank Silver Knight.

He had just reined in his horse at the city gate, but before he could see what was happening in the distance, he was targeted by the whistling Knife Kitty.

Knife Ji Katie had already had contact with these holy knights, so naturally she was well aware of the strength and weakness of their power.

If they were given ample time for holy light empowerment, each holy knight would quickly turn into a tin can covered in layers of aura. It was very hard to kill them if they wanted magic resistance or material resistance. However, once they were caught off guard, without the holy light added, it would be difficult for the holy armor on these holy knights to exert its true power.

Therefore, having spotted this group of Holy Knights from a distance, Knife Katie didn't hesitate to make a deadly move.

With a flicker, Katie's golden body passed through the ten-meter-long city gate iron gate and appeared in the center of the group of Holy Knights. The five metal blade wheels popped out of nowhere and quickly transformed into a blade formation, involving the surrounding Paladins intact.

As for Katy herself, she went straight for that 2nd rank Silver Knight, first with a mental pressure, then with a flicker she penetrated the opponent's body, strangling him along with the horses beneath her into a sky of shattered flesh and blood.

And with such a delay, Grim, who was chasing after Katy, had also approached the city gate, and with a berserk rage, he stretched out his hand and a huge cloud of fire appeared above the Paladins and quickly swooped down.

Naturally, such a long-range attack couldn't possibly hit that Blade-Katie, and the other party rushed out of the fire cloud with a single acceleration and rushed towards the city. The Paladin who was strangled by the metal blade wheel only managed to shout before being caught up in the sprawling fire cloud.

A moment later, the fire cloud dissipated, leaving only a charred, unrecognizable pile of carbon in its place, while Grim had already run over the battlefield in a rock python and went on to hunt Katie down.

The gates of Harkanth, though tall, still could not contain the massive, reinforced rock python.

The thick body of the rock python and its terrifying long tail collided and swept against the stone walls of the city gate, immediately causing dust to fly and rocks to crumble.

Seeing that the rock python was not suitable for fighting in the city, Grim could only quickly put it away, then joined up with the elemental magic weapon and rushed into the city together.

A dozen or so low-level wind spirits, on the other hand, were floating high above the sky, acting as Grim's eyes and ears, chasing after that Blade-Girl Katie for him while cautiously observing the changes within Harkans city.

If the reason why the natives of the 3rd rank had yet to be encountered in the previous battle was because of the opponent's sluggish intelligence system and rigid way of delivering orders, then the odds of himself breaking into the opponent's city now would undoubtedly be much higher.

Although Grim was quite confident in his own strength, he didn't dare to fall into the siege of the 3rd rank natives.

So, apprehensive and expectant at the same time, Grim followed closely behind Katy the Knife, and together they charged into this magnificent city of Harkans.
