Chapter 349: Chapter 196: Undead Creatures Appear, City Lord Beixila’s Backup Plan

"Humans... Don’t even think about escaping!"

The Silver Goblin Caster held a staff that was silver from top to bottom—it was forged from Mithril!

As it raised its staff, a powerful Fire Element began to coalesce, forming a fiery line like a beam of light that shot toward Lin Mo and Shefilya.

The "beam" skimmed past Lin Mo, missing him by a hair.

"How can he see us?!"

Lin Mo was shocked. He and Shefilya had clearly activated their Assassin Profession’s Stealth Skills to hide their presence.

’Could it be the surrounding Goblins?’

They were currently in the midst of the Goblin Army, forced to either squeeze past them or simply step on their heads to move...

If the Silver Goblin Caster before them had some way to communicate with its kin over a large area, or even share their senses, it could instantly read that information and know their location.

’This is trouble...’

This was a situation Lin Mo hadn’t anticipated.

Another flame "beam" shot toward them. Shefilya quickly scooped Lin Mo up by the waist and dodged to the side.

Once could have been a coincidence. But twice, and then a third beam just like the others, proved Lin Mo’s guess was correct. If that was the case, their Stealth Skills were useless.

Lin Mo, held in Shefilya’s arms, turned his head to watch where the beams were coming from. The instant he saw a flash of crimson, he would shout a warning, and Shefilya would immediately dodge. Even so, they only narrowly avoided the attacks.

’This Magic... it’s so fast!’

Lin Mo’s pupils contracted. From the moment he saw the flash of red to the moment it zipped past them, less than a second had passed!

"Left!"

The next moment, another flame "beam" flew at them. This time, despite Lin Mo’s warning, Shefilya couldn’t dodge completely. She twisted her body to shield Lin Mo, and the searing "beam" grazed her left shoulder with a SIZZLE. Shefilya let out a muffled grunt, her body trembling, but she quickly regained her balance and continued to flee.

But the crimson "beams" kept coming, one after another, almost without pause.

The intense heat turned their skin red; even without a direct hit, they were already getting burned.

Lin Mo drank his last bottle of Basic Magic Potion. While using the newly restored Magic Power to cast Great Healing Skill on Shefilya, he continued to call out the direction of the incoming flame "beams."

"Left!"

"Right!"

’The distance between them was gradually increasing. If we can just run a little farther, that thing’s Magic shouldn’t be able to reach us anymore...’

However, just as Lin Mo was thinking this, several Bronze Level Goblins suddenly leaped out from the side, attacking Shefilya.

Their target wasn’t Lin Mo, but Shefilya.

Lin Mo frowned. He immediately raised his hand, and a torrent of Flame coalesced in his palm.

[Fireball Technique]!

’In my current state, I can’t afford to use any more High Level Magic.’

Besides, the Fireball Technique was more than enough. A blazing Fireball struck home, instantly killing a Bronze Goblin.

Immediately after, an Ice Cone flew from Lin Mo’s other hand.

[Ice Cone Skill]!

...

"Leave these things to me... Left!"

Shefilya nodded and dodged to the right.

Lin Mo’s Magic Power was almost completely gone.

He had used [Flash] repeatedly during the previous fight. The Magic Power consumption for that skill was not low—even higher than a typical Excellence Level Skill—and it had used up most of Lin Mo’s Magic Potions.

’But I still have a hidden reserve of energy...’

It was the Flame Ring on his hand. This piece of equipment could store a certain amount of Fire Elemental Magic Power, enough to cast eight Excellent Level Skills—the equivalent of thirty-two Ordinary Level spells. It was more than enough to handle the current situation.

Fireballs flew out one after another, instantly killing all the Goblins that dared to launch a sneak attack.

Finally, they put some distance between themselves and the Silver Goblin Caster, and the ceaseless barrage of beams finally stopped.

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Shefilya’s Physical Strength was also at its limit. She put Lin Mo down and collapsed to her knees, propping herself up with her hands as her breathing became ragged.

She had also been fighting for a long time, and without Lin Mo’s powerful Constitution, her Physical Strength had been depleted long ago. In fact, she had been moving on sheer willpower alone for a while.

Now that they were finally out of danger, the moment her taut nerves relaxed, she completely lost the ability to move.

Lin Mo, however, still had some Physical Strength left. He immediately got to his feet and dealt with the Goblins closing in around them. A single swing of his Sword could cut down a large swath of them.

However, just as he swung his Sword again, Lin Mo’s pupils suddenly contracted and he looked to his side.

He felt a fluctuation of the Elements.

Sure enough, an Ice Spear was flying toward Shefilya at incredible speed!

But Shefilya was completely exhausted, her consciousness starting to fade. She had no strength left to dodge.

Lin Mo rushed forward and tackled her to the ground. The Ice Spear struck him in the back.

Shefilya froze for a moment before realizing what had happened, a rare look of panic on her face.

A crisp, shattering sound echoed from behind Lin Mo.

Lin Mo didn’t have enough Magic Power left to cast [Frost Guardian], but he still had a way to defend against the Ice Spear.

That’s right—it was the Flame Ring again.
