The Wizard World - Chapter 248

Chapter 248
Angele vanished into the forest after rushing down the cliff .
The trees were tall and large, its leaves almost blocking the sky . On the ground, there were many tiny green bushes and white mist was floating in the air .
Angele advanced slowly on the narrow path and made some noise between the bushes .
Angele could feel cold and wet grasses through his boots . An unpleasant smell permeated the air .
He held the black plate in hand and confirmed the location of the Red Beard, then he started heading toward that location quickly .
The red dot on the plate blinked as it moved and it also stopped several times .
Angele advanced for about ten minutes and heard incinerating sounds ahead of him .
The area that was about ten meters away from him was lit . The furious flames were still expanding . Branches were being burnt and trees were falling down .
The light from the flames brightened up the surroundings .
Angele checked the fire and glanced around . No one was here .
He crouched as blue light dots flashed in front of his eyes .
Angele slashed down the bush in front and saw multiple footprints lying around . Whoever left them here was clearly in a hurry .
‘They were here not so long ago . The patterns on their shoes indicated that they did not want to enter the Mist Forest . The fire is here to stop the people that are chasing after them . ’
He came to this conclusion quickly .
Angele stood up and glanced around . He suddenly walked to another bush . The grasses here had been stomped on by people .
‘They must be the one chasing after Red Beard . ’ Angele decided to proceed with caution . ‘I need to hurry up or he’ll be dead before I can reach him . ’
He turned around and started running to the right .
After about one minute, he reached the edge of the burning area and headed to the deep forest .
He was not hiding his footsteps at all . Several minutes later, he heard people yelling and things exploding ahead .
Angele held his sword tight and increased his speed .
"Who’s there?!"
Someone yelled ahead . It was a deep male voice .
The trees left Angele’s sight, revealing a large empty area in the front .
Several trees were brought down by the explosion and surrounded the place .
A middle-aged man wearing a tight blue suit was standing in the center of the place and he supported his body with a large black mace . No one else, however, was around .
The man was deeply wounded and his left arm was broken .
The man stared at Angele as he walked out of the forest .
"Who are you?"
Angele glared at him and using the chip to scan his mentality wave . It showed that the man was a Gas stage wizard .
"Are you going after Red Beard?" He stepped forward and asked .
"You too? Head into that direction then, they just left . " The man pointed at the right .
Angele nodded . Red Beard had only injured a Gas stage wizard . It seemed that his injury was getting worse every minute . It was great news for him .
He checked the black plate again . The red dot was very close and it already stopped moving .
He rushed to the red dot and heard someone screaming .
The scream stopped within a second . Angele saw a woman in a red robe that got pinned down by a tree . Her whole body was frozen in a large chunk of ice .
The woman had died right away .


He walked to the ice block and tapped on it .
*Dang*
The metal barrier around Angele’s hand did not leave any crack on the ice .
He suddenly heard people chatting between the bushes .
"That’s it, Lando . You’re a dead man . Give me that thing and I’ll free you from your suffering," a woman was shouting .
Angele narrowed his eyes .
He checked the plate again . The red dot was very close to the white dot .
He put the plate into a pouch and grabbed some gray dust .

"Wind…heed my call…" he chanted in a whisper .
Several thin green strings appeared in the air and started spinning around Angele .
The strings vanished into the air after several seconds and everything returned to normal .
Gentle wind was blowing over his face and Angele threw the gray dust into the air . The shiny dust looked like silver light dots that were blown away by the wind quickly .
The wind stopped after all the dust was gone .
Angele grabbed a silver scimitar from his back . The scimitar had a sharp wavy blade and it was coated with a green glow . He twisted the handle of the scimitar slightly and a blade of similar length popped out of the bottom of the handle .
‘Let me see what this cursed scimitar can do . ’ Angele spun the scimitar several times and tied it to his belt .
Angele held the long silver sword in hand and stepped forward .
Red Beard was sitting beside a large tree with blood leaking out of his mouth . Two corpses were lying in front of him, both cut into half from their waists . It was a terrible way of dying .


An old man with a white beard was staring at Red Beard calmly . He was wearing a red robe with a cane in hand .
A muscular woman wearing a black armor piece was standing behind the old man . The woman had messy blond hair and there was a black lightning pattern on her forehead . Her weapon was a red greatsword .
The three looked at Angele at the same time as he left the bush . No one looked surprised . They had noticed Angele’s presence a while ago .
"Olive, I can give you the magic device, but it seems that this young man is interested too . " Red Beard laughed .
Angele blinked his eyes . The magic device’s power was higher than the high-rank enchanted item . It could help the owner cast certain spells instantly .
Red Beard brought up the magic device and wanted to see if the two would try to finish Angele off first .
Wizards would do anything to get their hands on the magic devices . Red Beard’s plan was obvious but it was still effective .
"Friend, it’s none of your business . I have just one advice for you . Leave! Now!" The woman with a greatsword yelled at Angele . She noticed that his expression changed after hearing about the magic device .
"It’s a serious personal matter . I need to talk to the Red Beard first . Do you really think that I’ll leave just because you said it?" Angele shook his head .
"Kill him then," The old man named Olive suddenly turned to Angele and said .
The woman nodded slightly and started walking toward Angele . She lowered her greatsword and prepared to fight .
"Actually, I don’t care about the magic device . I just want Red Beard dead . " Angele remained calm . "Red Beard is the strongest Crystal stage wizard I know . We should kill him first before he recovers . "
He was not afraid of a fight . Angele was certain that he could slay Red Beard by himself as long as the old man did not have enough mentality to cast a level 2 spell . The biggest problem to him was Olive .
He tracked down the Red Beard and he must be a strong Crystal stage wizard .
"And I’m just a Gas stage wizard . I can’t do anything to you, don’t you think?" Angele shrugged and took two steps back .
"Master, I think he’s right . We have already violated many rules recently . Let’s just kill Red Beard . " The woman turned her head around and talked to Olive .
"I don’t carry the magic device with me . I already hid it in somewhere safe . If I die, you’ll never be able to find it . " Red Beard smiled .
Olive shook his head . "You have played too many tricks . My patience is running out . "


"You know me for so many years . I have already proved myself back in Maple City…" Red Beard chuckled . He slightly shook his right index finger as he talked . The nail on the finger broke into pieces and vivid red blood dropped to the grasses .
Olive stopped for a second and continued, "Whatever . I’ll let you leave if you give me the magic device . I have said it several times . "
"Master Olive, obviously, Red Beard is not going to hand you the magic device . I advise you to kill him immediately . He’s just wasting our time . It’s possible that he can still fight back," Angele spoke quickly . "I also sensed some energy fluctuations around him while you two were talking . "
Red Beard’s expression changed .
Olive stared at Red Beard and raised his arm .
*BOOM*
A distorted wave appeared around Red Beard . It almost looked like the air around him was turned into jelly . Angele’s sight blurred and he could barely see what was going on .
*Crack*
The large tree fell to the ground but it failed to hit Red Beard . Only a large hole was left beside the tree stump .
"Again!" Olive held the cane tight . "Track him down!" He yelled and rushed forward .
The woman followed after Olive and held her greatsword tight .
Angele walked to the tree stump and checked the hole . He took out the black plate and saw the red dot moving again .
He turned around and started running toward Red Beard’s current location .
Angele saw Red Beard stopped by another large tree right away . Olive and the woman were standing right beside him .
"Well, it seems like my plan failed . " Red Beard sighed and wiped the blood off his mouth . "Turning myself into pure energy will never be a good idea . "
"Your mentality wave is interrupted by my spell . " Olive sneered . "You can’t trick me twice with the same crap . "
"Well, you’ll have a much easier time talking to him if you hit him harder . " Angele smiled .
Olive and the woman looked at him at the same time after hearing him speak .
