The Magician's Journey

  "I am magician Tieson, release the women you've seized." Tieson's horse blocked the way in front of the group, and the group stopped. The middle-aged bald man didn't even talk to Tieson, raised his hand and waved it, saying: "Catch him."

  Immediately, a dozen or so soldiers with long guns surrounded Tissen, and one brave soldier stepped forward to grab him.

  Tyson's right hand suddenly lit up with a red glow, and a fireball flew out of his hand, engulfing his soldiers as if they had been doused in oil and set ablaze. The flames instantly consumed their bodies, and they let out blood-curdling screams as they fell to the ground, rolling around frantically in an attempt to extinguish the inferno. A moment later, their anguished cries gradually subsided, leaving behind only charred remains that twitched feebly on the ground.

  Seeing this, the soldiers surrounding Tissen all showed fearful expressions on their faces and retreated several steps, only not daring to run away because of the city lord's order. The encirclement circle obviously became larger, and even people in the back unconsciously retreated several steps.

  Tissen shook his head, gazing at the distant Lord of Santore City, coldly warning: "Your attitude is courting disaster. Don't try to provoke me, return Lila to me."

  The lord of Santuo City laughed and said, "I've heard that magicians are very powerful, but I've never seen one before. There are over a hundred people here, so what can you do alone? Today, I'm going to take down a magician, and in the future, it will be a glorious topic to talk about with others." After finishing speaking, he drew his knight sword from his waist and swung it forcefully in the air, shouting, "Everyone, come at him! Take down this magician!"

  At his command, the crowd swarmed around Tyson like ants. Next to the lord of Santuo City, three people who were responsible for escorting Lila drew their bows and aimed at Tyson, ready to shoot him dead.

  I released the bowstring, and the arrow that had been accumulating power for a long time drew a green afterimage in the air, piercing three archers standing together. The remaining force of the arrow nailed it to a horse with a trail of fresh blood, and the warhorse let out a loud whinny, stood up on its hind legs, shook off the knight behind it, and then charged forward. The rear of the formation was suddenly thrown into chaos.

  "Someone sneak attacked? You few go take a look at the woods over there, and find that person for me!" A leader-like figure commanded several people to search towards the woods.

  At that moment, a scene that made everyone fearful appeared. In Tissen's direction, a dazzling light burst forth, and a huge ring of fire spread out, engulfing all living things within a ten-meter radius in flames, instantly triggering a cacophony of wails and screams. It was an intermediate-level magic, "Ring of Flames". I also knew this spell; the magical power of a beginner could cast an intermediate-level spell, but when I cast it, the ring of fire could only spread out to a distance of three meters at most, which was already my limit. Tissen's "Ring of Flames" was obviously much stronger than mine, and its effect was extraordinary.

  The survivors saw this terrifying scene and immediately dispersed, following the city master to make a fortune. If they were asked to face such a terrifying magician and pay the price of their lives to attack him, it would be impossible. The soldiers who were ordered to search the forest also immediately dispersed when they saw this situation.

  As the wailing people gradually stopped crawling on the ground, the entire scene was left with only Santov Castle's lord holding a knight's sword and Tissen facing off. I saw that Santov Castle's lord looked somewhat flustered, he glanced around and found that the entire scene had already emptied out, his previously swaggering entourage had either fallen to the ground or scattered like birds and beasts.

  The lord of Santov Castle had lost all hope after seeing the situation, he grabbed Lila beside him and pressed his sword against her neck, viciously saying to Tissen: "Don't come any closer, I'll kill this woman first if you dare move!"

  Lia, who was pressed against her neck by the sword, was surprisingly fearless. She stared at Tyson, but her mouth threatened the lord of Santok City behind her: "You old lecher, if you want to live, let me go quickly. Otherwise, you will be burned to ashes like your followers underground!"

  The lord of Santov Castle ignored Lilia and glared fiercely at Tissen, his hand tightening around the hilt of his sword. The blade sliced through the skin on Lilia's neck, a thin trickle of blood flowing from her pale skin, as if silently threatening Tissen.

  Tiesen gazed coldly at the city master and said: "Don't move, what do you want to do? If you dare to touch a single hair on her head, I will chop you into pieces!"

  Although Tyson threatened the lord of Santov, the experienced lord still saw that Tyson was very concerned about Lilia. He sneered and said: "I'll take this woman away, and I'll naturally let her go when we get to Santov."

  "Let her go right now," Tyson said with a shake of his head, "I promised you could leave safely."

  The scene suddenly froze...

  Hiding in the tree, I didn't reveal myself. I drew my bowstring and took aim at the lord of Santore City. I still can't attack him now. If one arrow doesn't hit its mark, he's likely to kill Lila in desperation after being attacked.

  The lord of Santov Castle suddenly moved, dragging Lilia back as he said, "I'll take her away now. Don't follow us, or I'll kill her."

  Tyson slowly approached him, but still intentionally kept a distance, he was also afraid of hurting Lilia.

  The lord of Santon Castle stepped back from the horse, withdrew the sword that had been pressed against Lya's throat and prepared to press it against her waist, forcing Lya to mount the horse.

  At that instant, I released the bowstring and the arrow flashed onto his hand like lightning. The sudden attack caused a sharp pain, making Santov Castle's lord unable to grip his sword, and the knight's sword fell to the ground.

  Lia kicked the lord of Santov's stomach fiercely, kicking him back a few steps. Lia took advantage of this opportunity to quickly run towards Tissen.

  The lord of Santuo City saw that the hostage had escaped and immediately turned over his horse, whipped it with a whip, and drove the warhorse to rush towards the distance.

  But it was already too late, seeing Lila escape, Tyson's wind blade followed and chopped towards the lord of Santor City. Two cyan crescent-shaped wind blades flew silently towards him, sealing off all his retreats. Soon, the two wind blades crossed over from one person to another, cutting the lord of Santor City and his horse into four pieces. A piece of blood mist splashed towards the sky, then fell like raindrops.

  As I slid down the big tree and walked out of the forest, I saw Lila happily nestled in Tissen's arms. I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, everything had come to an end, yet it was only just beginning...
