"Don't worry, Gaia. We will definitely succeed." Allen could see the fear in Gaia's heart. There was nothing to criticize her for, as the fear of the unknown was understandable. Moreover, Gaia had only just reached adulthood, not to mention that the little unicorns had revealed to him.
However, to Allen, one had to either not do it at all or do it to the best of his ability. Rescuing the unicorns was something that he had to do with all his might.
The deeper they went, the more they felt the extreme darkness of the forest. Suddenly, Allen stopped in his tracks, as if a spell had been cast on him. He saw a pair of eyes glowing with a green light in the darkness, watching them.
An instinctive fear of wild beasts welled up in his heart. Allen gripped his wand tightly, staring at the two glowing eyes without blinking.
"What is that?" Gaia had also noticed the pair of eyes. Her voice was sharp and piercing, as if she had lost control.
Allen secretly used Miaomiao's robe to cover the hand that was not holding the wand. He reached out and touched something soft. Then, the pair of eyes that were emitting a dark green light suddenly flashed to the side, and then a white thing ran past Allen.
Allen turned his head and saw a strange ape-like creature. Its head drooped strangely as it ran through the forest behind Allen. In its panic, it bumped into a large tree and stumbled a few steps to the side. In the blink of an eye, it hid in the shadows of another forest.
Gaisilith, who was in front, heard the commotion and immediately turned around to ask what had happened. Allen described his experience in detail. Gaisilith ordered the warriors to be on guard and gather together to prevent any accidents.
This decision was undoubtedly very wise. Soon, pairs of glowing green eyes flickered in the dense forest, like flickering will-o '-the-wisps.
"Flickering Fluorescent Light!" Allen's strengthened version of the Illumination Spell was very effective. Those glowing green eyes retreated, letting out ear-piercing screeches.
At that moment, everyone finally saw the appearance of these monsters. Their appearance was similar to that of apes. Their bodies were grey, and they had a pair of strange green eyes. Light yellow hair grew on their heads, and they draped down their backs.
However, they ran so fast that Allen couldn't even tell if they were running on all fours or if their forelimbs were just hanging too low.
The Monster Apes — let's call them Monster Apes for now — were a little restless, and then gathered together again. It seemed that they were angered by Allen's sudden move. Some burly monster apes bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they pounced towards the unicorns. Their speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch their shadows. Caught off guard, some of the Unicorns were unable to dodge in time, and deep wounds appeared on their bodies. Some of the luckier Unicorns leaped gracefully to avoid the attacks.
A battle between the monstrous ape and the unicorn began. Allen was protected in the middle by the unicorns. He wanted to rush out and fight a few times, but he was stopped by Gethilius. Gethilius had a very good reason. "Allen, your existence is very important. Only you have Healing Magic. The safety of the team depends on you! Furthermore, if the Unicorn Warriors can't defeat these monster apes, what can a student like you do? "
Even though his abilities had been underestimated by Gethilius, Allen still did his best to heal the injured unicorns. His magic was very precise, and he could cast it on the unicorns that needed healing every time. This made Gethilius very surprised.
The monster apes relied on their speed and sharp claws, while the unicorns were as agile as the monster apes. They also had sharp antennae and powerful hooves. Both parties fought fiercely, but Allen's Healing Magic was timely and effective. In the end, the scales of victory still tilted towards the unicorns. And when Gethilius discovered the ape king, he gave it his all, and this was the last straw that crushed the monster apes' defeat.
The monster apes had come quickly, but they retreated even faster. The forest of giant trees regained its peace. There were only broken branches and leaves, trampled and messy grass, injured unicorns that were still healing, and the Warriors that were still catching their breath to witness the intense battle that had just taken place.
After resting in the darkness for a while, Gethilius reorganized the team and set off once again. There was still no light in front of them. In this huge forest maze, they could only move forward. Even if they wanted to find their way back, there was no way to do so.
After an unknown period of time, a rustling sound could be heard in the forest. It sounded like the wind rustling leaves, or the sound of silkworms chewing on mulberry leaves. In this dark, strange and unpredictable space, not only was there no sense of beauty, it was even hair-raising.
Allen cast Fluorescent Flash once again, using the light to look in the direction of the sound. His hair instantly stood on end. It was really too terrifying. Small, black spiders were quickly crawling down from the tree trunks, surrounding them.
Not long later, a large, black, hairy spider that was several times their size slowly crawled to the center of the small spiders. Its large, bright eyes stared straight at Allen, causing him to tremble in fear. It was practically a spider in human form. Its four front limbs were raised, and it relied on its four hind limbs to stabilize its body. Every limb was covered in dense barbs. Under the illumination of Allen's Illumination Spell, they shone with a pitch-black luster.
"These sneaky, disgusting things!" Gaia seemed to be very uncomfortable with this scene and couldn't help but complain.
This soft complaint sounded like the horn of war, and the spiders swarmed forward. It was very difficult for the unicorns to completely shake off these small things. Once the spiders touched their bodies, they would quickly bite through their skin and burrow into their bodies, sucking their blood and flesh.
What was even worse was that three unicorns had accidentally touched the spiders. In their panic, they stumbled and fell. In an instant, the densely packed spiders covered their bodies layer after layer. They were actually dragged away by the spiders just like that!
"Clara, Northmore, Cassilis!" Gaia let out a heart-wrenching cry. "Allen, quickly think of a way. I beg you, save them!" As if she was grasping at straws, Gaia pleaded to Allen.
But what could Allen do? The Wondrous Sorcerer's Robe on his body could only protect him from harm. It couldn't protect everyone!
Allen forced himself to calm down. There had to be a way. Spiders might be afraid of fire, but setting fire in such a dense forest was tantamount to setting fire to themselves.
