Blitz fiddled with the knife in his hand. "Logically speaking, we should leave the remaining time for you, but it's a pity that we've received orders from the very beginning. The moment you chose to become our enemy, we had to do our best to kill you. Regarding this, I hope you can understand. After all, an outstanding person like you is like a thorn in our backs every minute and every second of your life. Therefore, in order to let us feel at ease as soon as possible, I hope you can die as soon as possible. "
Blitz walked towards the female mage as he spoke. His tone was very gentle, as though he was explaining to children the innocent questions of why the sky was blue, why the stars twinkled, and why the bees buzzed. These were obviously cruel things, but there wasn't a trace of evil in them when they came out of his mouth.
Perhaps only those who regarded evil as a matter of course could have this peace of mind when they killed someone.
The scene in front of him looked a little strange. The yellow sand in the sky automatically parted in front of Blitz. Although his line of sight was still limited to half a step in front of him, he could roughly determine Lilith's position based on the direction in which the little black snake swam back.
The latter was so weak that she no longer had the strength to move. Even when Blitz walked up to her, she still couldn't release another spell. Thus, Blitz used the knife in his hand to lift the cloak, revealing the female mage's face.
However, to his surprise, even at this moment, Lilith's face was still very calm. In the face of impending death, there wasn't much fear in the female mage's eyes. Instead, there was a hint of mockery. "After saying so much, isn't it because you're afraid that I'll tell others that you brought the Sin of Shadows into Gudilesi before I die?"
Blitz laughed. "Have you always been so honest? What an unlikable character."
As he spoke, he aimed the knife at Lilith's chest and pushed it forward gently. The blade cut through Lilith's clothes, and if it moved a little further, it would have pierced the female mage's heart. However, at this moment, Blitz suddenly felt a strong sense of danger.
— Don't doubt your instincts!
Without hesitation, Blitz let go of the dagger in his hand. His muscles tightened, and his calves bent slightly. He suddenly leaped up and stomped on the ground, and his body flew backward with the help of the powerful counterforce.
All of this happened in an instant. The next moment, a blue ball made of lightning flew past his cheek. The moment it brushed past him, the hair on his face stood up under the effect of the electric current. The alarm in Blitz's heart rose to the extreme. This inconspicuous blue ball actually brought him an unparalleled and terrifying pressure. In that short moment, he smelled the scent of death that he hadn't felt for a long time.
"A level-6 spell?" The flying speed of the small ball was astonishing, leaving only an afterimage on Blitz's retina. Then, as if he had thought of something, he hurriedly turned his head, but the place where Lilith had been standing was already gone.
"I really can't relax when dealing with a mage," Blitz lamented.
He didn't expect the female mage to have more than two magic devices with her tonight. Whether it was the terrifying lightning ball or the teleportation spell, any one of them was a rare magic device, especially the latter. Disappearing on the spot was practically against the rules. However, this kind of miniature teleportation array generally couldn't teleport too far away. Lilith should be no more than 500 meters away now. With her physical condition, she was destined to be unable to escape tonight.
Blitz said to the others, "Let's split up and look for her. The earlier we finish the mission, the less trouble there will be."
Lilith had never been in such a sorry state since she was young.
At this moment, she was leaning against the wall of the alley. Not far from her was a stinking chicken coop, and her magic staff was less than two steps away from her. However, she didn't even have the strength to pick it up. Blitz's guess was right. The teleportation magic device on Lilith's body had a maximum range of only a hundred meters. She could even hear Blitz's voice across the wall, but she couldn't do anything. She had already used up all her cards, so when those people found her again, there would be nowhere for her to run.
It's about time to end this, the female Magician thought.
Opposite her was a house, but Lilith didn't plan to ask for help from the family who lived there. Even if the ordinary people were willing to help her, they wouldn't be able to escape the search of those people later. Moreover, with the brutality of those people, they would definitely kill the family when the time came. Lilith wouldn't let innocent people die with her just to live a few more minutes. So, she chose to sit there and quietly wait for death.
Perhaps the venom that the Sin of Shadow injected into her body was starting to take effect. The female mage only felt more and more tired. Her consciousness began to blur, and she vaguely heard footsteps coming from the alley. So, she used the last of her strength to make a shushing gesture to the little girl who had been curiously looking at her from behind the window.
Then, Lilith saw a pair of boots.
The boots didn't look good. No, to be more precise, they were probably the sloppiest pair of boots in the entire world. It seemed that their owner never had the awareness to take care of them. There were scratches and colorful oil stains all over the shoes. It was unknown how many days they hadn't been washed. In some places, even the leather inside had been turned out. But fortunately, this pair of cowhide boots was made by a top shoemaker. Even though it had suffered such inhumane treatment, it still held on and did not fall apart.
When she saw the pair of boots, the female mage's tensed nerves suddenly relaxed. The team that was chasing after her was less than 50 meters away from her, but she no longer felt the threat of her life hanging by a thread in her heart.
"You really should go and change into a pair of shoes." It was rare for the female mage to express her opinion on someone's fashion sense. Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Knowing that she didn't have much time left, she quickly said, "There are eight of them. Preliminary estimates say that they are immune to magic attacks below level-five. They also have a young Sin of Shadow. I'm sorry, that's all I can find. I'll leave the rest to you."
"Hey, so you have to find a way to apply for my magical little animal research fund. Otherwise, where am I going to get the money to buy shoes?!" The man said angrily. But as he complained, he took out a small bottle from his pocket, pulled out the cork, and poured the golden liquid inside into Lilith's mouth.
