Wizard: I devour the stars with swarms of insects.

Chapter 94 The Fighting Style of a Potions Wizard Apprentice

Meanwhile, on the other side, Kalai was swiftly dodging and weaving through the grass.

The ground beneath my feet was shimmering with a faint glow, as if some kind of medicinal powder had been used to enhance movement.

Suddenly, I heard a sharp cracking sound of a tree branch breaking from behind me, and it was very close.

Before he could think, Kalai flipped his wrist and pulled a gray reagent bottle from his waist pouch, then flung it toward the area behind him without even looking at it.

boom--!

The reagent bottle exploded on the tree trunk, and thick, grayish-white smoke instantly filled the air.

This is the [Mist Concealment Powder] that I refined myself. It was originally intended to conceal my whereabouts during black market transactions.

It can create a dense fog that lasts for more than ten seconds, enough to shake off the pursuers behind.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kale turned and lunged towards a low bush on the side, hiding inside to catch his breath.

"Damn it..."

'

Kale cursed under his breath, his face turning grim. These Skaven snakemen were really troublesome.

I originally thought that being in the woods, in an open area, would allow me to move around more freely and flexibly.

Unexpectedly, these damned Skaven snakemen moved about mysteriously and could walk without making a sound.

While I was fighting several Skaven snakemen, I was attacked by a Skaven snakeman who silently appeared from the woods behind me, and I was almost seriously injured.

"I wonder how things are going with the Wayne brothers. I didn't expect these guys to be so difficult to deal with. Luckily, I brought enough potions with me this time, but Wayne..."

Kale looked somewhat worried.

I don't know if the original plan to split up was the right one.

They could barely manage on their side, but on the other side, the Wayne brothers had only recently broken through to the first-class wizard apprentice level.

And since this is their first time patrolling the Black Forest, they lack experience, so there might be some danger.

It's all my fault. I shouldn't have agreed. If I had been with Wayne, I could have looked after him.

Now, Kale couldn't help but feel a little worried.

At this moment, several Skaven snakemen gradually emerged from the smoke formed by the [Mist Concealment Powder] in front of them. Their backs were arched, and their golden vertical pupils pierced through the smoke, staring straight at the bushes where he was hiding.

Its face was covered in snake scales, its mouth was slightly open, revealing two rows of fine fangs, and its black forked tongue trembled gently in the air.

His sinister, bloodthirsty eyes were fixed on Kalai, who was hiding in the bushes ahead.

"As expected, I couldn't hide any longer; I was discovered... These things have excellent tracking abilities!"

Kalai said with a gloomy expression.

Despite using some powder to mask her scent, she still couldn't escape the Skaven snake people's ability to detect residual pheromones in the air and track her.

So now, without hesitation, Kalai emerged from the bushes.

At the same time, his hand reached into his waist pouch and pulled out his most familiar potion bottle: [Exploding Acid Liquid], preparing to throw it forward while chanting a spell.

However, the Skaven Snakeman on the other side reacted even faster.

Almost the instant he stood up, several Skaven snakemen in front of him were launched off the tree trunk.

Using all four limbs, it sprinted along the ground like a real reptile, at an astonishing speed.

Three meters, covered in an instant.

"What?"

Kalai didn't even have time to throw out the potion bottle; he only had time to instinctively raise his hand to block.

next second.

boom--!

Kale was sent flying, his back slamming hard against the trunk of an oak tree, the intense pain making his vision go black.

The medicine bottle flew out of my hand, landed in the grass, and rolled away somewhere unknown.

The Skaven snake-man, having landed a successful blow, did not pause for a moment. He braced himself on the ground with his limbs, twisted his body in a bizarre manner, and pounced again.

This time, the attack method changed; the scale-covered arms opened from both sides, like a python's constriction, aiming directly at Kalai's torso.

Once I'm entangled, what follows are fangs and venom, and I'll definitely be tortured to death by these guys.

"hateful."

Carly's pupils suddenly contracted.

Then, in a moment of desperation, he pulled several mithril dolls from inside the wizard's robe on his chest, and suddenly slapped them on their chests, causing them to glow with a crystalline light.

Immediately afterwards, several mithril puppets seemed to come alive and suddenly charged towards the Skaven snakemen in front of them.

At the same time, the metal arm in his hand, as if it could punch, rushed in and came to the front of one of the Skaven snakemen.

He clenched his fist, swung it out suddenly, and with a whoosh, smashed it into the Skaven snake-man's face.

The sudden attack of the mithril puppets caught everyone off guard. These Skaven snakemen clearly hadn't expected Kalai to have this trick up his sleeve, and their charging motion faltered.

They were blocked by these magical puppets and were temporarily delayed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kalai stood up from the ground and took out the sealing film from the medicine bottle in his wizard's robe.

It was flung towards the direction where the mithril doll and the snake-man were locked in combat.

At the same time, he uttered several strange syllables and drew some kind of wizarding script in the air with his fingers.

"Viscous micelles—!"

Then, the bottle exploded in mid-air the next second.

Countless fine, almost transparent, viscous threads suddenly sprayed out, covering an area of ​​three meters in radius.

The threads fell onto tree trunks, grass, and the ground, instantly solidifying into layers of tough, elastic gelatinous netting.

Several Skaven snakemen were immediately entangled in these sticky threads, their feet were stuck to the glue, and their scales were covered with the sticky substance that they couldn't shake off.

It struggled and struggled, tearing off one layer of sticky threads, only to have another layer wrap around it.

Although these measures won't hold the Skaven snakemen for long, they'll buy them some time.

Next, Kalai went around to the side, tore open the second vial, unscrewed the stopper, and splashed the liquid into the air in front of him.

Thick green smoke billowed inside the bottle. Kalai chanted a short incantation, his mental energy probing into the bottle to activate the pre-solidified spell circuits.

Acid splashing!

The smoke suddenly twisted, contracted, and condensed!

Several emerald green sticky arrows shot out from the bottle's mouth, hissing as they cut through the air, attacking the snake trapped in the sticky threads ahead.

The snake-man's yellow eyes narrowed sharply as he twisted his body desperately, trying to break free from the binding threads, but he only managed to dodge the first arrow.

laugh--!

The second arrow struck its left shoulder.

Hiss hiss hiss—!

White smoke suddenly rose up, and the moment the acid came into contact with the snake-man's scales, it was like wax being doused with boiling water; the scales quickly softened, bubbled, and peeled off.

Several Skaven serpent-men let out mournful howls.

At that moment, what he didn't know was that in the bushes and grass of the dense forest behind him...

There was a Skaven snake-man who had taken advantage of the chaos to hide in the surrounding woods and lay in wait.

Now, the scales on the skin beneath my feet wriggled silently as I walked, quietly making my way into the bushes behind Kalai.

Immediately afterwards, after taking a deep breath.

He suddenly sprang out, simultaneously wielding a sharp dagger, and ruthlessly stabbed at Kalai's back.

Kalai sensed the bloody wind approaching from behind, his expression changed, and he tried to dodge, but the opponent's actions had been lying in wait for a long time, and now the sudden attack was aimed at killing him.

They didn't give themselves any chance to dodge.

As the sharp dagger drew ever closer to his chest, Kalai couldn't help but reveal a look of despair.

I'm...doomed. There's no escaping this now.

And it was just as he looked on in despair, watching helplessly as the dagger was about to stab him.

Suddenly, *splat*!

A long, scarlet tongue swept across.

The Skaven snake-man who was about to stab him in the chest was suddenly whipped away by the scarlet tongue, crashing into a nearby tree and rolling to the ground.
