Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 190 The Heretic Little Boy

"Heresy! Caught without mercy!"

The Cougar Knights, holding fine spears and with oil paint on their faces, approached the little boy step by step.

The two Niksalans with strange white skin behind the little boy did not attract their attention because they were an old man and a woman, and they were not wearing shaman's clothes and looked very fragile.

Shana frowned. The little boy was skinny and had no weapons. He looked extremely pitiful. Why did he attract so many Nicksalan knights to chase him?
The little boy fell to the ground in fear and looked back at Shana and Syfar. Although he was young, he could tell that these two men did not look like they could compete with the powerful Cougar Knight.

He cried, "Please, I'm not a heretic."

The Cougar Knights ignored his words and continued to approach him coldly, saying, "God has sent down an oracle, you are a heretic!"

A spear was shot out by a cougar knight and stuck firmly in front of the little boy. The blast caused by the sharp spear cutting through the air frightened him so much that he dared not move and could only watch them approach in despair.

Shanai gritted her teeth and looked back at Sefar. The old man nodded slightly. She immediately felt relieved and turned back to shout, "Stop! Who are you and why are you chasing a child?"

The Cougar Knights were stunned for a moment as they didn't expect that these two strangers would dare to hinder them in carrying out their mission.

One of them reacted quickly, looked at her coldly and said, "Don't meddle in other people's business, woman, or are you, like this boy, a heretic who rebels against God?!"

Shana sneered, "What kind of god would deliberately hunt down a child? It must be an evil god!"

"How dare you! You arrogant heretic blaspheme the great Tezca!" The Cougar Knight's face changed drastically and he shouted angrily.

"Catch them all!" He waved his hand, and the Cougar Knights behind him immediately accelerated and rushed over.

"Hmph, teach them a lesson, Xiao La." A black shadow suddenly appeared on Shana's shoulder and condensed into a raven, making a shrill cry and rushing towards the knights.

Sixth-ring transformation spell——[Secondary Dragon Form]!
The green transformation magic power hit the raven's body along its flight path. The tiny raven's body immediately broke apart in the air, quickly grew larger, and turned into a young red dragon!
"It's a dragon! A red dragon! Damn, it's a shaman!" The puma knights' faces immediately changed, and they took a defensive posture to resist the attack of the flying dragon.

Shana sneered, and then the gloves in her hands kept lighting up with various lights, and the attributes of the young red dragon that the raven turned into increased by four points again.

The strengthened young red dragon slammed into one of the puma knights with great force. The puma under him was so frightened that it could not move and was crushed into meat paste on the spot. Only the knight relied on his strong physical fitness and was only knocked away a dozen meters before spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The red dragon's scales sparkled brightly in the moonlight. It swung its tail violently, trying to attack another cougar knight, but the other party just dodged it. Its tail hit the tree next to it hard, making a deafening sound, and the thick tree broke.

The cougar riders came to their senses and rode on the agile cougars. The lions roared loudly to encourage themselves, and their four hooves stepped on the fallen leaves, making crisp sounds.

The air was filled with tension and danger. The red dragon opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a stream of blazing flames. Several knights quickly dispersed to avoid the breath attack.

They brandished spears with electric lights on the tips, magical weapons, ready to attack the red dragon again.

A mountain lion knight grasped his spear tightly, leaped up like a lion, and pounced on the red dragon from the side, with the tip of the spear pointing directly at the dragon's eyes.

The red dragon felt threatened, so it turned nimbly and swung its huge claws, trying to knock down the knight, but the lion was nimble and immediately jumped away, avoiding the attack.

The fight became more intense. The red dragon continued to spew out more violent red flames. The flames scorched the air and burned a mountain lion knight to death who had no time to dodge.

But the red dragon was not feeling well either. One of its eyes was pierced by a spear, and several holes were poked in the scales on its body by the magic spears in the hands of the mountain lion knights.

Seeing this, Shana also continued to cast spells to reinforce the red dragon. These mountain lion knights were quite powerful. Without help, I'm afraid that the young red dragon that Raven transformed into might not be able to kill them all. Five-ring transformation spell - [Malicious Transfiguration]!
Shana chanted a spell softly and released [Malicious Transfiguration] three times in succession. Three unlucky mountain lion knights were hit by the spell. The powerful magic penetration of the 12th-level wizard defeated their magic resistance and turned them into fragile frogs.

The young red dragon immediately took the opportunity to launch an attack, swinging its claws to smash the knights who had turned into frogs into meat paste.

The remaining knight who had lost his mount saw that the situation was not good and immediately turned around and tried to run, but was hit by the [Disintegration Spell] coming from behind and turned into ashes in the air.

After quickly dealing with all the mountain lion knights, Sefar stroked his white beard with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, not bad. Your combat skills have finally improved. I've said it before, even a research-oriented mage who never leaves his house must learn how to fight others. You did a good job this time."

Shana chuckled and looked at the little boy, who was so frightened by the huge red dragon approaching that he covered his head and dared not move.

"You can look up now, little boy. Those who were chasing you are all dead."

The little boy shuddered when he heard this, and slowly raised his head, looked at the two of them, then looked at the raven who had changed into its original form at some point, his eyes filled with tears, and he knelt down in front of them.

"Thank you, thank you! Thank you for saving me."

Xia Nai asked curiously, "Little friend, do you know why these people are chasing you?"

She was really curious about what kind of child could make the gods issue an oracle to hunt him down.

The little boy shuddered, raised his head timidly and said aggrievedly: "I don't know either. They said I was a heretic and that my name was exactly the same as the heretic in the legend."

Shana raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Amelia."

Shanai and Sefar looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew nothing about the mythology of the Niksarans and had no idea what the name meant.

"Okay." Shana felt a headache looking at the little boy. They still had a mission to accomplish, but if they ignored it, the child might not survive the next day in the forest.

"Can I follow you?" the little boy whispered.

Shana looked at Sefar, and the old man sighed and said, "Hey, get up first. You can follow us, but I have to make it clear in advance that we are going to the city of Duzulla. In order to prevent you from being discovered, I have to cast a transformation spell on you to change your appearance."

The little boy blinked his eyes, not quite understanding, and said, "As long as you let me follow you and survive, I can do anything!"

Shana spread her hands and said, "This is the only way. Let's go to sleep first. We have to leave early tomorrow."

The three of them rested quickly. Shana and Sefar returned to the dimensional cave of the magic rope technique, while the little boy leaned against the campfire, eating the dry food given by Shana.

He stared at the campfire with lifeless eyes, and with one hand he pulled out a small pendant that looked like an emerald sword from his underwear collar.

"What did you say? Okay, okay."

He sat by the campfire, talking to himself, and slowly fell asleep.
