In the woods

Eliard, Skinorse, and Irvan hid behind a 15-foot-tall boulder . Eliard cast a water mirror and carefully watched the camp on the other side .

This temporary camp was set in a cave . Through the water mirror, they could see that there were some bedrolls and wooden buckets inside . There were three people, all 20-something youths . One of them seemed injured and was resting in a corner . Another sat on a rock and smoked while keeping guard . The last focused on whittling an arrow . He looked like an archer .

"Judging from the bedrolls and buckets, there should be around 30 robbers," Skinorse said . "The others probably went out . We can take advantage of this and capture them for interrogation . "

Irvan had already pulled his arrows out . "Then let's hurry up . I'll kill one and leave the other two for questioning . "

Eliard nodded . "Okay… wait, something feels wrong . "

His wand was already out and glowing, but he suddenly motioned for them to stop . He canceled the water mirror and pressed against the stone without moving . This scared Skinorse and Irvan . The two went into defensive poses .

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

Eliard's eyes were fearful . "I don't know," he whispered . "But I feel depressed . My heart feels heavy, like something frightening will happen soon . "

"Maybe you're overthinking . " Irvan looked around but didn't see anything . The woods looked normal; there was nothing strange .

This showed that he was inexperienced . He hadn't cooperated with such powerful Magicians before and thought Eliard was just getting paranoid and scaring himself .

Skinorse didn't think this though . He knew that Magicians had great predictions . Morrigan was only at Level-5, but he often used his gut to lead Skinorse and Moya through the relics, helping them avoid much danger .

Eliard's power was practically equal to him . Such a powerful Magician wouldn't feel this depression for no reason . There must be something horrible coming .

"No need to explain," he said decisively . "Drop the mission and retreat!"

He turned to leave .

Unexpectedly, Eliard grabbed him . "Don't . "

"What?" Skinorse was confused now . "Since it's dangerous, we can come back some other time . I didn't say to completely give up . "

Eliard shook his head, smiling wryly . "It's not that simple . I don't think we can leave now . "

"Someone's watching us?" Skinorse was shocked . "Can you sense him?"

"He must be nearby, watching us, but I can't sense where he is exactly . He's more powerful than me . " Eliard had already taken out the runestone Link gave him . He decided that as soon as something went wrong, he would run and contact Link . Things were out of his control now .

Skinorse immediately curled up and swore . "F*ck, if he's more powerful than you, then he's Legendary, isn't he? What the f*ck . How come all the powerful guys are running around? How are people supposed to live?"

Eliard shook his head . "No, there actually aren't that many Legendary figures . There are more than one billion people in the world, but less than 20 people are over Level-10 . We probably run into them because of Link . "

Link had entered the Legendary level so his enemies would send someone at or above that level . Otherwise, it would be useless . However, they were only a few bigger ants between these two powerful figures .

Hearing this, Irvan grew anxious . "Hey, honestly, stop talking and think about what we should do now . "

Eliard and Skinorse exchanged glances; both of their eyes were helpless . They shook their heads .

"I have no solutions . We can use the runestone to ask for help, but I think that we'll be dead before Link can get here . " Eliard shrugged and smiled bitterly . The repressive feeling was getting worse . He had never felt something so strong before . The runestone could only notify Link but most likely couldn't save them .

"I guess we'll have to compete with patience . The enemy is watching us but hasn't done anything yet . He must have a plan . We'll just wait and see what he has planned . " Skinorse decided to lean against the boulder and pulled a pipe out of his spatial ring . He knocked it against the boulder, cleared the ashes, and started adding tobacco .

His att.i.tude was: I'm not your match so just do whatever you want .

Irvan hadn't given up though . He wasn't like Eliard and Skinorse . He'd heard about Legendary figures but had never experienced their strength . To him, they were just people but stronger . It wasn't like they could be immortal . If they fought to the death, they might still have a chance .

Thinking of that, he prepared his bow and looked side to side . His expression was serious and cautious; he was ready to put his all in .

Seeing him like this, Skinorse breathed in and exhaled a ring of smoke . "Irvan, do you have a pet?" he asked .

Irvan shook his head . "Who has time to do that?"

"Then do you have kids?" Skinorse continued .

"My wife was killed when she was pregnant . " Irvan shook his head with a bitter expression .

Skinorse patted his shoulder and sighed . "If you've raised them before, you'd know that to a Legendary figure, you're just like his pet or son . If he wants to hit you, you take it . Don't think about fighting back . Here, copy me and have a smoke . Enjoy your last moments alive . "

He pa.s.sed the pipe over .

Irvan felt hopeless .

At this time, Eliard suddenly said, "Shh, don't say anything . Someone's coming . "

The two mercenaries instantly sobered . At times like this, any change was a chance . They might have an opportunity . After all, they didn't want to die . Any shred of hope should be taken .

Eliard stopped using magic . He just sprawled on the boulder; Skinorse and Irvan did the same .

After a while, they saw a Magician with a dark green robe and hood appear by the cave . Judging by the figure, it was a woman . She was quite tall—almost six feet . Though she was covered in the long robe, she still had a great body .

To Eliard, the most eye-catching part about her was her wand . It was silver with three green crystals . Two small pieces...o...b..ted around the big one . The aura was as deep as the sea . Just a glance shocked him, making his heart pound and almost leap out of his throat .

Skinorse involuntarily looked again and praised, "Tsk, such great figure, great hips, great a.s.s, great b.o.o.bs, nice height too . And that hair looks good . I've never seen that color before . If she comes with me, I'll even be okay if she isn't that pretty . "

Eliard was speechless . He grabbed the man over . "Do you want to die? I'm pretty sure she's the Legendary figure who was spying on us!"

Skinorse instantly shuddered . He retracted, feeling like he should slap himself . Irvan quietly scooted away from him, afraid he would be affected by the guy .

Scolding came from the cave .

"Are you all dead? Get up, all of you get up . You don't even know that people are watching . "

The voice was sweet, like a little girl's, but also with the beauty of a mature woman . Skinorse listened to it and exhaled deeply . "Ah, I'm probably done for, but it's worth it to die in the hands of such a beauty . "

Irvan couldn't take it anymore . "You b.a.s.t.a.r.d," he muttered . "Can't you be serious?" He didn't want to die yet .

In the cave, the three bandits were as submissive as rabbits . They hung their heads and didn't reply .

"Alright, get out . Go to Full Moon City and tell the king that plan A failed . Tell them to start plan B . "

"Yes, yes, Master, understood . " The three scurried away and disappeared deep into the woods .

The next moment, the female Magician pointed her wand towards where Eliard's group was hiding . The boulder they were leaning against popped and disappeared into a plume of smoke .

The three were revealed; they were completely helpless . This spell shocked all of them .

Red and green flashed on the woman, and she instantly shot forward 300 feet . Sixty feet away from the three, she looked at them and said in her laughing voice, "Oh, Ferde's Eliard . I really caught a big fish this time . "

Eliard gulped . He regretted his lack of power now . He couldn't say anything useful, so he just kept quiet .

The woman looked to Skinorse . "I heard what you said . Thank you for your compliments . As an adventurer, you've had some great accomplishments . "

Skinorse's lips curled up by habit into a smile that he thought was the most attractive . "I have a request before dying . "

"What is it?"

"Let me see your face . Then I won't have any regrets," Skinorse said .

The woman burst into laughter . Her laugh was like wind chimes and was definitely ear candy . After laughing, she shook his head . "I'm sorry, but I must refuse . "

Then she looked to Irvan . "A Level-7 archer . You're not bad either, but sadly, you three still aren't strong enough…"

As she spoke, her wand twitched . Eliard gravitated towards her and quickly reached her side . She grabbed him like grabbing a chicken . Eliard couldn't fight back or even speak .

The female Magician looked at the other two and laughed . "Don't worry . You two won't die because I don't like useless murder . I'll keep you two alive to send Link a message . Tell him that if he wants to save Eliard, go to Grizzly Hills alone . Remember, he has to be alone . He can't have any helpers at all . "

Hearing this, Skinorse let out a breath . "Don't worry, I'll tell him . "

"I believe . But even though I won't kill you, I will still punish your impoliteness . You like women, don't you? I'll change your interests now . "

With that, fragmented silver light shot out from her wand . It separated halfway through, one beam shooting at Skinorse, the other at Irvan .

The light didn't look too fast, but they couldn't defend themselves at all . They were hit simultaneously .

"Alright, you two go have fun . "

She grabbed Eliard's arm . "Let's go . Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily . "

After speaking, she stepped back and somehow teleported thousands of feet away . She paused, turned, and then disappeared into the woods .

Soon after they left, someone appeared in the woods . It was Link . Seeing Skinorse and Irvan, his brows furrowed .

Dazed and nude, they rolled around on the ground, moaning in each other's arms . It was not a delightful scene .
