This was a tundra with a wide view, and there was no place to hide. The only explanation was that the enemy had used magic to hide their bodies, hiding on the road they had to pass through, and had been lying in ambush for a long time.
There was no time to think about who would target the three of them. Ivan's expression became serious, and he acted on his fighting instinct to cast a "shield spell" on himself and Ash to block the "magic missiles" that might attack again at any time.
As for Yelena, she has become self-sufficient and protected herself.
They didn't fly too high, so at their current height above the ground, it would be no problem for them to just jump down.
So Ivan and Yelena tacitly let go and let Ash fall to the ground. Then they also fell down one after another, protecting Ash in the middle.
Ivan cautiously cast a "detection magic" around him.
There was only one chance to catch them off guard, and this chance was ruined by Ash just now. Under the "detection magic", the hidden person had to be exposed to the three people's sight.
The other side also had three people, and their positions just surrounded them.
"Vampire!" Ivan's pupils subconsciously shrank when he saw the dark red eyes of one of them.
Opposite them are two human wizards and a vampire.
Ivan is not afraid of fighting wizards, but if there are vampires around, it will be a big trouble.
Vampires are born with agility, great strength, and bodies as hard as steel. They also have terrifying healing abilities. Many wizards have contracted vampire slaves, who are used as magic materials and as personal guards. Their melee abilities far exceed those of human swordsmen. The only drawback is that they cannot be taken out during the day. Otherwise, they can be called perfect guards.
This is bad. Ivan glanced at the three of them. How could two weak wizards and a weak future wizard fight against a ferocious vampire? Especially since the other side also had two wizards.
Yelena bit her lower lip and said, "Someone from the Secret Alliance?"
Ivan nodded slightly, very likely.
They were still confused as to why these people would target them in advance? Was there anything special about the three of them?
"Yelena, can you lend me the dagger you bought?" Ash suddenly asked.
"Huh?" But it's possible... Yelena was busy putting on a first-ring magic "Mage Armor" on herself. Without thinking too much, she quickly took out the dagger that she had bought together with the swordsman leather armor in the Big Stone Castle and threw it to Ash.
After throwing it out, she realized, what does Ash want the sword for? Want to fight like a swordsman? Fight vampires? Don't be ridiculous, Ash, do you know that you are a squishy wizard like us? Oh no, Ash, you are not a wizard yet.
As if he really appreciated their cautious attitude, the leading vampire took a leisurely step forward and his eyes fell on Ash who was holding the dagger. He seemed to be watching a joke that he didn't know his own limitations and couldn't muster any interest at all.
He has black hair like crow feathers, dark red eyes, pale skin, a morbidly handsome face, and a gloomy and cold tone in his words: "Before the sun rises, let's get rid of this wizard's seedling. Break it off, pinch it off, or uproot it. Which way do you think is better?"
He spread out his hands, as if seeking the opinions of everyone present.
But no one answered him, including his fellow wizards.
The wizards on both sides had already started fighting each other, one attacking and one defending, long before he opened his mouth to speak. For a moment, their strengths were quite equal. It seemed that the opponent also had a low-level and a mid-level configuration.
He lowered his head in disappointment and said something like giving up: "No suggestions? Forget it, let the seedlings continue to grow healthily."
Then he looked like he was about to turn around and leave.
"Quentin!" His companion, the younger one, called out to him with gritted teeth, "Find out who first proposed to kill them! If I hadn't come with you, I would have left this damn wilderness long ago!"
Another older middle-aged wizard also spoke gloomily: "Quentin, hurry up! Don't forget, accidents always happen when you are not careful."
Quentin paused and turned his head to look at them: "So, which way is better?"
The young one yelled, "Let's get rid of the weeds!"
The middle-aged man said in a flat tone: "Second."
He spoke as if Ash and the other two were already in his grasp.
Ivan's lips were almost pressed into a line. They couldn't attack actively, and could only defend passively. But if they continued like this, their mental strength would soon be exhausted. The opponent's vampire probably had a problem with his brain and didn't join the attack, but looking at the current progress, the opponent...
"Alright. Let's just cut the roots." Quentin finally smiled with satisfaction, turned around and stared at Ash and the other two. His dark red eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of faint blood color, which was terrifying.
Ivan's heart sank. Damn it! The vampire's brain stopped spinning and returned to normal.
Can't you just be stupid for a while?
He lowered his voice so that only Yelena and Ash could hear: "Hold on a little longer. I have a random teleportation scroll with me."
Yelena's eyes lit up, and then she said "hmm" softly.
The scroll involving group teleportation is already a fifth-tier item. It can only be made by a black-robed wizard who is proficient in both spatial rules and inscription knowledge. Therefore, it is extremely rare and precious. I didn't expect that Ivan actually has one!
Immediately, I felt a little worried. Random teleportation is also known as "face-scanning teleportation" or "lucky teleportation". As the name suggests, the distance and location of random teleportation are uncertain. It is purely a public punishment for one's luck value.
The higher the level of the teleportation scroll, the faster it will be activated. Obviously, the quality of the teleportation scroll Ivan held was not that high, so even though he decisively took out the scroll and activated it quietly as soon as he saw the other vampire, it would still take some time for the scroll to be fully activated.
Now it depends on whether they can survive this period.
Without the vampire Quentin, Ivan still had some confidence. But now...
He glanced and found that Ash had actually taken a step forward - he and Yelena had always maintained a tacit shift, and still protected Ash in the center while dodging. But at this moment, Ash took a step forward, and from the protected position, he pushed up to the corner of the triangle defense.
He caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, and before he could ask Ash to move back, he heard a sharp "click" sound.
——It was the sound made when the sword hit the vampire’s nails.
He didn't see it clearly at all! Ivan's eyes widened. He didn't see when Quentin came close to him, and how Ash blocked those hands that were powerful enough to tear open a human chest.
Yelena was also so shocked that she was almost hit by the "weakening ray" because of a distraction. Fortunately, the opponent was also surprised and the accuracy of the spell was greatly reduced.
And, he actually stopped that vampire? !
Oh my god! He really has the ability to fight vampires?!
Yelena heard the voice of slapping herself in her heart. A fragile wizard like them? Yes, Ash was not a wizard, but he didn't seem to be fragile either.
She suddenly realized that when Sigourney used Ash's body, she had not just said "this boy's body is well-trained, not like the weaklings of other wizards". Sigourney's "not bad" meant "very, very, very amazing" if converted into the common language of ordinary people.
She should have thought of it earlier! Sigourney, whose praise skills were always negative 10,000 points, could say "not bad" for the first time, which was the highest praise for him, which was enough to show how strong Ash's own qualities were.
She was wrong. She was wrong in not viewing Sigourney's praise from an ordinary person's perspective, which made her miss the opportunity to discover the truth in advance.
You deserve to be frightened now!
In just a short moment, so many thoughts popped up in Yelena's mind. Ash also calmly blocked Quentin's attacks from all directions while moving in a small range, and protected Ivan and Yelena behind him.
As a human being, he is not inferior to the vampire Quentin in terms of speed, agility and strength.
Ash was actually surprised. He knew that since the beginning of this summer, his physical ability had begun to grow by leaps and bounds under the influence of the leaf mark. But at that time, the only people who could compete with him in the village were the hunting team. And the hunting team was just ordinary people, and they were completely unable to force out his true ability.
Now facing a young and strong vampire, he had to squeeze out all his strength, and was surprised to find that he had undergone such a complete transformation.
The vampire's movements were so fast that they left a shadow. His eyes could see them and his body could keep up. He could also take on the vampire's heavy force without any effort. However, his fighting skills were still not as good as the opponent's. Fortunately, he could vaguely predict the opponent's next attack, otherwise he would never be able to deal with it so calmly.
"Are you human?" The vampire attacked violently, his voice overlapping like a storm. "Are you human? Are you human? Are you human?"
Ash ignored him.
"Your blood must be very delicious!" Quentin laughed strangely and attacked madly, "Should I suck all your blood in one breath, or keep you in the basement and let you drink a little every day? Which way do you think is better?"
Neither is good. Ash frowned, noticing that there were already cracks on the blade of the dagger.
"Ash!" At this time, Ivan's signal finally came, and he spoke very quickly, "One, two--"
Transmission started!
Ash swung his sword horizontally to block Quentin's whip-like legs, then took a step back and let Ivan and Yelena grab his shoulders on both sides - to prevent the three of them from teleporting apart.
"three!"
“Stop them!”
"There's actually a teleportation scroll!"
"Answer me! Which way is better?"
Four voices sounded at the same time, causing great confusion.
In this chaos, as Ivan and Yelena breathed a sigh of relief, as the two wizards opposite looked at each other in shock and anger, and as Quentin looked furious, Ash and the other two were enveloped in white light and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.
On the lichen-covered soil, only the broken dagger in Ash's hand, which had been shattered by the last blow, lay there quietly, telling of the danger and intensity of the previous battle.
It also seems like a blatant mockery.
"Damn it!" The young wizard kicked the ground hard, his chest heaving with anger. From ambush to battle, he was actually allowed to escape right under his nose by three people who were not as strong as them. It was such a shame!
"The leading young wizard has a sharp vision and a strong sense of the overall situation. He is not impulsive like a young person. He is calm and decisive. He took out the teleportation scroll and quietly activated it during the initial chaos. It was our negligence." The middle-aged wizard said in a light tone, but he was instructing the young wizard, "But no matter how calm and decisive he is, we have Quentin here, who can stop them before they are teleported. But why didn't we do this?"
"That boy?" the young wizard hesitated.
"That's right. We didn't expect that a newly discovered wizard could be as good as Quentin." The middle-aged wizard looked deep, "What is the origin of that boy?"
"Hey, Quentin, you were fighting him just now, what do you think of him... Quentin!" The young wizard was furious, "Can't you just listen to others? What are you looking at over there? You're still looking at them even though they've been teleported away? Do you think you have clairvoyance?"
Quentin raised a strange smile: "I can see it." He raised his hand and pointed forward, "Isn't it right there?"
Not far away.
Ivan and Yelena stood on the ground, just waking up from the dizziness of being teleported. When they looked up, they saw Quentin and his trio, whom they thought they would never see again.
Looking at each other from a distance is very awkward.
This... can it be teleported 200 meters? Can it!
Is your face so dark?
Whose luck is holding us back? !
Ivan and Yelena, who just breathed a sigh of relief: "..."
The words the middle-aged wizard had just said suddenly echoed in my mind: Accidents always happen when you are not careful.
That makes sense. Isn't this true?
Ash, however, was not standing on the ground.
As soon as he came out of the teleportation, he fell into someone's arms.
Cold and hard.
When I looked up, I saw the beautiful face that seemed to have been kissed by the Moon Goddess, right in front of me. Beneath the cold brows, there was a look of surprise and astonishment that she couldn't hide in time.
"Sigourney?" He lay across the man's arms and blinked blankly.
Huh?
Real person?
Real person!
Ash opened his eyes wide in surprise, and a sentence floated through his mind...Accidents always happen when you are not paying attention.
That makes a lot of sense!
The author has something to say: Sigourney (= =): Accidents always happen when you are not paying attention.
