Chapter 259: Chapter 208: Dog catching a Mouse_1
After cooking and exercising, Duanmu Huai arrives at Leila Lucalia Magic Academy.
I must say, any place with the na ‘Magic Academy’ tends to be beautiful. This place is no exception, with its tall magnificent buildings, courtyards and halls shrouded in a hint of mystery, and the arrangents of stacks of books and scrolls, each giving a sense of being in a grand hall of knowledge.
Ann would surely love this place.
Duanmu Huai could even imagine that if Ann ca here, she would stare at this library with sparkling eyes and drool on the spot.
Since it’s a magic academy, there are naturally many mages. However, the outfits of these mages left Duanmu Huai speechless – all of them were wearing large, cartoonish hats!
What on earth was this custom??
Duanmu Huai had even taken off the hats of these mages to inspect them. He thought these mages must be wearing such things due to mutations caused by magic studies, such as having a large head, four eyes, or a deford skull unlike those of humans’. However, the heads underneath the hats appeared to be completely normal without any mutations.
Well…Duanmu Huai could only guess that this might be a peculiar local custom.
For example, the female students at Manaria Magic Academy would wear short skirts like those depicted in cartoons.
Although that was quite pleasing to Duanmu Huai’s eyes.
But if he had to wear a hat like those at Leila Lucalia Magic Academy, he would refuse politely.
Soon enough, Duanmu Huai regains his focus.
Because he discovered…he seed to not be the first guest here.
“It seems that soone else has made it here before .”
Facing the bodies of the dead mages, Duanmu Huai frowned. After crossing the main entrance of the academy and entering the school building, he discovered that nearly all mages here had been killed and their bodies were left sprawled on the ground. Judging from the traces around, there had been a fierce battle here.
And it was a recent one.
“Thud!!”
“Clang, clang, clang!!”
Just then, Duanmu Huai quickly picked up on a noise from above. His face darkened slightly and he gripped his war hamr tighter, heading up the stairs.
Through the corridor and classrooms and up the stairs, Duanmu Huai quickly reached a place resembling a eting hall. Then he saw two figures jumping around there.
One of them was a large red wolf, with a lightsaber in its mouth and ferociously chasing its prey. And the one being chased by the red wolf was…….
“Waaaaah, why is it chasing , I’m not tasty aaaaaah!!!”
lfy squealed as she jumped around, fully demonstrating the agility of the Spirit Rat Tribe. It seems wherever there was a hole, she would squeeze into it. However, the red wolf doesn’t seem to want to let its prey escape and doggedly chases her around.
“This is nostalgic.”
Watching the scene before him, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help reminiscing. It was like a scene from the cat-and-mouse cartoons, where Tom chases Jerry. The cat and mouse ran around the house creating a ss – yep, that’s basically what’s happening right now.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t a black maid around to hamr Tom.
“Ah, Sir Knight!!”
At this mont, lfy, who was being hard-pressed by the red wolf, also noticed Duanmu Huai standing at the entrance and yelled in desperation.
“Please help !!”
“Roar————-!!”
Upon hearing lfy’s cries, the red wolf imdiately turned its attention to Duanmu Huai. Probably realizing that Duanmu Huai posed a bigger threat than lfy, the red wolf roared and lunged straight at him. At the sa ti, a magic circle appeared behind it, and several lightsabers erged, shooting towards Duanmu Huai!
Well, it’s a magic academy alright, even the dogs here know magic.
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was a bit surprised. But he disregarded the flying lightsabers and continued forward, hamring at the red wolf before him. He struck it directly in the waist. The wolf howled instantly, falling to the ground.
As the saying goes, wolves are tough except at the waist. It seems even magic-wielding wolves are no exception. With one swing of his hamr, Duanmu Huai broke the wolf’s spine, paralyzing it completely. As the red wolf tried to turn around and bite him, he seized its head and twisted, forcibly pulling it off. The red wolf slumped to the ground without a sound.
“Hmm……”
Looking at the red wolf’s head in his hand, Duanmu Huai squinted. For so reason, he found himself instinctively inclined to behead his enemies in battle…
There shouldn’t be the influence of any evil gods involved, right?
“Phew…thanks, Sir Knight…”
lfy, who was out of breath, arrived in front of Duanmu Huai and thanked him, then sat on the floor, spent. From her appearance, one could tell just how exhausted lfy was.
“What happened? Why are you here?”
“I really have no idea…”
lfy started complaining to Duanmu Huai. Like the other girls, she was also teleported away. When she ca to, she found herself in this magic academy. At first, lfy wanted to ask for help, but everyone in the academy acted like lunatics. They attacked her on sight, so she had no choice but to fight back and kill them. The bodies that Duanmu Huai had seen were her doing.
lfy, though part of the Spirit Rat Tribe, is not particularly strong. However, her small stature makes her better at stealth… In other words, a rat is still a rat, Spirit Rat included.
Using her petite body, lfy managed to evade the mumbling magicians. She initially thought of searching for the Forest Princess or soone else at the Magic Academy, but upon arriving here, lfy was caught by the Red Wolf.
The opponent had a keen sense of sll, and he could use magic; lfy couldn’t escape at all. She was chased so hard that she cried out for help but to no avail. If it weren’t for Duanmu Huai’s tily arrival, she might have been exhausted to death.
It’s like a dog chasing mice, ddling in other people’s business.
Unfortunately, lfy didn’t know this proverb.
“Sir Knight, do you know where the princess is?”
“I’m not sure, I just hope she’s all right.”
In response to lfy’s inquiry, Duanmu Huai just shook his head. He too didn’t know where Mistelina was teleported to. But that princess seed to be quite active, which has given Duanmu Huai a bit of a headache. If she were to be driven by curiosity and do sothing troubleso… that would really be troubleso.
“Anyway, let’s continue to explore inside. Follow .”
“Sure.”
The two rested for a while before continuing forward. According to lfy, she already searched most of the places during this ti, but she didn’t find anyone. There was one place that lfy had not been to yet, the huge library at the top. The path to it was blocked, and enemies were all around, so lfy couldn’t evade them.
But now, with Duanmu Huai, these problems were naturally not problems.
After passing through courtyards and corridors, the two ascended on a large elevator at the end and arrived at the top floor. Duanmu Huai reached out and slowly pushed open the massive door.
Then, he led lfy inside.
The library was dark and appeared uninhabited. They walked forward together when suddenly…
“Splutter!”
Accompanied by a soft sound, Duanmu Huai stopped. He looked down and saw a decapitated body beneath his feet. It seems he accidentally stepped on this poor fellow when he was walking.
Wait…
“Sir… Sir Knight, sothing seems a bit off… ”
lfy, who was perched on Duanmu Huai’s shoulder, said uneasily. At the sa ti, candles were lit one by one in the dark library. They could see a group of young Mage Apprentices lying on the floor holding candlesticks, their faces cold and emotionless like the living dead, as they stared at the two.
Then, a flickering light appeared, and Duanmu Huai saw a tall woman holding Amber, slowly descending from the air.
“Ah, my dear children, are you awake? I’ve prepared many candlesticks and books.”
The woman murmured to herself, and then she looked at Duanmu Huai, a spark of brilliance in her eyes.
“Do you two want to beco my children? Co… I’ll make you behave… ”
“Sir Knight, this woman is creepy!!”
“I’ve noticed… Be careful!!”
Almost instantaneously, Duanmu Huai abruptly jumped back, and then watched as a massive chandelier ca crashing down, landing exactly where Duanmu Huai had just been standing.
It was clear; the woman ant harm.
“No choice, we have to finish her off!”
Duanmu Huai gritted his teeth, then jumped up, gripping his war hamr and swung it with all his might at the hovering woman. However, to his surprise, just as he was about to hit the woman, a golden barrier appeared, enveloping her completely. The thunderbolt from Duanmu Huai’s hamr had no effect on her; instead, it was knocked back by the barrier.
What’s going on?
Before Duanmu Huai could figure it out, another headache-inducing scene unfolded. The seemingly paralyzed Mage Apprentices on the ground began their assault on him and lfy. Chanting nursery rhy-like spells and waving their wands and candlesticks, they made the books fly towards Duanmu Huai while flas spurted out, rushing towards them.
What a nuisance!
“Die!!”
Duanmu Huai roared, swinging his Thunder Warhamr down on the ground. Flashing bolts of lightning exploded, turning all the apprentices in front of him into charred dust.
But then, sothing unexpected happened.
“Ahh… my children…”
As she saw the charred apprentice bodies on the ground, the woman in the air cried out in sorrow. However, as she sighed, streaks of golden light descended from the sky, covering the charred bodies. Under this radiance, the apprentices who should have been killed, once again ca back to life!
“Co, my children… It’s ti for you to be born again…”
“……”
Having witnessed this scene, both Duanmu Huai and lfy were left dumbfounded.
The BOSS is invincible and can even revive minions?
How is this even a fair fight??
