Chapter 1719 1719: Tough chase!
From MC’s Perspective
Thornside City,
Swoosh!
A streak of light flew across the city wall, attempting to flee. The city guards were chasing behind the criminal.
[Ding! Warning]
[Level-10 Wizards and Magic Lord observing the host.]
The system voice rang in my mind. Hearing that, I put my heart at ease. But the sense of crisis was still there. I can’t enter the Gregor Mansion right now.
Otherwise, the existence of the Spatial Treasure will be exposed. Then, it would be suicidal. The Supreme Wizards and other wizards won’t sit still.
Especially the Magic Lord, he will definitely come after me. So far, I hadn’t used the name of the Mage Union.
I don’t want to use that card now, either. A firm glint appeared in my eyes. I continued to flee in mid-air before diving into the forest.
The forest environment was good cover. I could hide using the Gregor Mansion here, but I don’t want to do that. I could feel the powerful sense set on me.
I hadn’t used the system function to shield my presence yet. I’m going to wait for the right opportunity.
Swoosh!
The city guards who were chasing saw the criminal entering the forest. They didn’t stop and continued to go after him.
But the problem was that the speed of the criminal was faster than the city guards. They were slowly losing track.
Meanwhile,
This situation was noticed by the Supreme Wizards at the city gate and those staying within the family estates. Their mental power was covering the incident outside the city gate.
Seeing that the city guards were going to lose him, the Supreme Wizards understood it would displease the Magic Lord.
So far, they had an excellent track record. No criminals had escaped from their grasp. This time, someone was going to challenge them.
Everyone understood that the criminal was not an ordinary wizard. He should not be underestimated.
On the other hand, the Magic Lord at the office was watching everything. He frowned. He didn’t like the fact that a criminal was giving the city guards a tough time.
For him, the Level-9 wizard was a fly. He could ignore the incident right now, but his city didn’t have such a bad record before.
If the Level-9 Wizard were to escape from their grasp, then the City Lord’s office would become a laughingstock. Especially since everyone would comment against the Magic Lord.
A quick gleam flashed in his eyes. He then ordered the Supreme Wizards standing at the gate to take action. He had noticed their hesitation earlier.
They didn’t want to show up for a small criminal. But they didn’t have a choice right now.
At the city gate, the faces of the Supreme Wizards changed. They got the order from Magic Lord Johan.
Swoosh!
The next second, both of them appeared in mid-air. Like a shooting star, they chased after the group. This scene was witnessed by everyone, including the locals.
They wanted to know the results, so they began to wait. Even the Thornflower Hotel Manager and the staff were dumbfounded.
Things had gone out of their hands. Now, the Supreme Wizards had gone to capture the criminal.
The hotel manager felt something was not right. He knew the strength of the Magic Lord. No one could rival him. Only the powerhouse located in the distant land called the Mage Union could challenge their Magic Lord.
So, he relaxed his eyebrows. Unfortunately, he turned a blind eye to his intuition.
Meanwhile,
I continued moving across the sky above the forest.
Suddenly, the system began warning me again. My expression grew solemn. Now, the two Supreme Wizards had been dispatched.
I knew it was time to do something. I looked down and started flying a little above the ground. If anyone from the outside looked, they would see something moving in the forest in a zig-zag manner.
The Supreme Wizards surpassed the group of city guards within a minute. The city guards stopped in their tracks.
They saw the two Supreme Wizards flying past them. If they continued to go forward, it would be suicidal. They understood now that the criminal was not ordinary.
His strength was already half a foot into the Supreme level.
When the understanding dawned on the city guards, they were dumbfounded. Fortunately, the Supreme Wizards appeared in time.
Otherwise, they would have already continued to chase down the criminal. After discussing with each other, the city guards resumed following.
But they decided to maintain some distance.
Back in the city, everyone was waiting for the officials’ return. They wanted to know whether the criminal was captured or not.
The Supreme Wizard families were watching the event as well. But their mental power had reached its range limit. They couldn’t extend their power beyond it.
Only the Magic Lord could continue to monitor the situation outside.
Magic Lord Johan was calm. He, too, realized that it must be some genius. Geniuses among the wandering wizards were rare.
Because if the talent was revealed, he would have been recruited by big wizard forces. Johan was confused. Why would a wizard with such talent choose to be a wandering wizard?
While a few others were thinking the criminal had used a magic artifact to escape, he knew that was not the truth.
If the criminal had used a magic artifact, he would have known. He only saw the criminal using his half-step Supreme strength to escape.
A quick glint appeared in his eyes.
If the criminal chose to surrender, he decided to give him work and a good life here in this big city. For a wandering wizard, it was a good choice.
Meanwhile,
I’m going through the forest in a zig-zag manner.
The system continued to warn me. The two Supreme Wizards were closing in. Before they could see me, I needed to find a good hiding spot.
At the same time, the two Supreme Wizards were moving at top speed because they could feel the lingering gaze of the Magic Lord.
Both of them had a sense of crisis. They were afraid that the Magic Lord would take his anger out on them. So, they needed to catch the criminal right away.
