Talent Awakening: I, the Weakest Awakened, Start with Dragonfire Spell Chapter 125 125-Encounter

Chapter 125 Chapter 125-Encounter

Changing direction ant that all of Wales' previous efforts were in vain, and he had to recalibrate the route all over again.

Even though Wales possessed an exceptional Invisibility skill, it was impossible to keep the entire team constantly under the state of invisibility.

Additionally, the unknown map was barely cleared of monsters, resulting in their abundant presence.

Fortunately, Athena had wisely chosen to bring along archers and magi, all equipped with impressive AOE skills, making them well-prepared to handle the situation.

anwhile, Howard couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

He didn't have to lift a finger, yet he was able to share in the rewards and even get his hands on high-level monster loot. It was like living a dream!

The only downside was that the Mordun Wasteland was considered a high-level map, with even the weakest monsters being at least LV70.

Given the massive level disparity, the experience points Howard could gain were significantly reduced.

Ti slowly passed amidst battles with various lizards, sand snakes, man-eating plants, golems, and other monsters.

Wales lived up to the expectations, leading the team smoothly through the Mordun Wasteland without encountering a single enemy.

When the forest that was barely visible and the dazzlingly bright buildings constructed of white jade stones appeared in front of them, shining under the sunlight, Athena couldn't hide her excitent.

Reaching dea Ruins ant that they were not far from Crimson Dragon City!

Of course, traversing the dea Ruins, even by the shortest route, would take at least two days.

Not to ntion, Howard and his team needed to explore and pave their own way through unknown territories, which would at least double the ti required.

"dea Ruins," Wales began, aware that Howard had limited knowledge about the world.

He simultaneously scouted ahead while explaining the peculiarities of the dea Ruins. "It is said to be an ancient ruin from five thousand years ago. Before the world underwent its transformation, this place was nothing more than a cluster of ancient buildings. However, after the transformation, it has beco a place shrouded in mystery."

According to ancient legends, this Ruins was dedicated to a deity.

Unfortunately, due to a cataclysmic event in the past, much of history and literature were lost, resulting in a cultural discontinuity.

The people of today are utterly ignorant of what deity dea might be.

They can only speculate based on the changes observed in the monsters within the Ruins, inferring that she might be the deity controlling mutations.

There were stories of a hound that, after spending rely a day in dea Ruins, underwent a transformation and evolved into a Cerberus.

Soone once brought a pet snake across the dea Ruins, only for it to morph into dusa and petrify its owner into a statue...

Such incidents were countless, making the dea Ruins a forbidden place in the hearts of most.

Fortunately, these mutations only affect beasts and have no effect on humans.

The transford monsters, now possessing formidable strength, have turned this place into a training ground for the awakened.

However, at this mont, Howard and his group had no intention of training. They headed straight for dea Ruins.

There is a saying, "The mountain appears closer than it actually is."

Even the damaged buildings of dea Ruins, now ruins and remnants of walls, remained spectacular and towering, so as high as several dozen ters.

Thus, even though Howard and his group could see the Ruins, it still took a considerable amount of ti to approach them.

To make matters worse, just as they were nearing dea Ruins, they unexpectedly ran headlong into a group of well-equipped cavalry.

The leader, a burly figure wielding a fiery red lance, had arms covered in dense hair, exposed for all to see.

Invisibility has its duration, and Wales could not possibly keep them in an invisible state at all tis.

In an instant, the two groups collided.

At that mont, Athena, along with the nurous magi and archers, beca tense.

Could it be that they had run into those who were hunting them?

Athena and her group were nervous, and upon scanning them, the eyes of those on the opposite side widened in surprise as well.

Stunned for a mont, the spear-wielding lead cavalry swiftly pulled out a scroll, upon which was a vivid depiction of Athena herself.

"Quick, fire the flare!" The lead cavalry reacted with incredible speed.

With a piercing howl, he thrust his spear forward, sweeping it towards Howard and the others.

There was no way to avoid it; they were simply too close!

At this mont, Athena had no choice but to reveal her strength.

She stepped forward, positioning herself between Howard, Wales, and the enemy.

Her long blade appeared in her hand out of thin air, clashing with the spear's blade in a sweeping strike.

Fiery flas burst forth from the blade, transforming into a blazing phoenix with a sharp, piercing cry.

The fla phoenix engulfed the spear's blade in an instant.

"Humph, Roar of the Fla Dragon!"

However, those daring enough to pursue Athena were naturally no pushovers.

The leader's wrist shook violently, causing his spear to tremble intensely like a dragon, emitting bright flas and the sound of a dragon's roar.

Witnessing this scene, Howard couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

A spear against a sword, a dragon against a phoenix—this battle was becoming interesting!

Luckily, Athena's strength was ultimately superior.

The fla phoenix's wings fluttered, causing its form to spiral.

The previously stagnant battle suddenly shifted. The phoenix spiraled forward, its flas licking the lead cavalry's arms, eliciting a howl of pain.

His mount, unable to withstand the imnse explosive force, continuously retreated, almost collapsing onto the ground.

Fortunately, the lead cavalry was formidable.

After being forced back, he trembled his arm, dispelling the flas from his body.

Whizz—

The sound of air being torn apart echoed through the area as a dazzling firework suddenly burst forth in the sky.

However, this firework was not a beautiful spectacle; for Howard and his companions, it was a death knell.

If they couldn't eliminate this troop quickly or put so distance between them, the situation would beco dire once the other pursuers arrived.

Previously, Athena had paid the price of a hundred lives just to shake off their initial pursuers.

The pursuers they faced now were likely to be even more nurous. Escaping them seed an impossible task.

However, Athena understood that this was not a failure on Wales' part.

After all, his responsibilities were confined to the inside of the Ruins and the route through Mordun Wasteland.

The stretch of land between Mordun Wasteland and dea Ruins offered no hidden paths; it was impossible to lay bla on Wales.

"Lord Ravenous Wolf, if you intervene now, I can offer you a higher reward!"

"There's no ti left, please!" Athena's voice rang out.

At the sa ti, she swung her long blade, launching another attack while the lead cavalry was still reeling.

Wales furrowed his brows, hesitating for a mont.

Behind him, the group of archers swiftly drew their Mighty Bows, nocking arrows as they prepared to fire.

The magi, too, retreated, waving their wands while chanting spells.

Regrettably, for the magi to unleash their skills took far too much ti.

Even Howard, on many occasions, could only release his skills under the protection of his teammates.

As for instantaneous skills?

Those were only good for dealing with monsters.

When faced with real people, instantaneous skills, whether in terms of power or accuracy, proved disappointingly ineffective.

As the archers released their bowstrings, sending a torrential rain of arrows into the sky, the magi were still chanting, preparing their skills.

However, the cavalry troop had already raised their shields, launching a charge.

Their leader, holding his own against Athena, was a formidable adversary. How could they afford to waste ti?

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

The sky filled with arrows, but they landed ineffectively on the raised shields of the cavalry. Clad in exquisite armor, even the arrows that hit their bodies couldn't inflict substantial damage.

If an arrow was imbued with a skill, the armor would gleam, a special power would erge, annihilating the force of the skill carried by the arrow.

It could be said that a shield-bearer was the natural counter to an archer!

However, they had their weaknesses—they feared pure magical attacks.

If the magi could successfully release their skills, this cavalry troop would surely collapse.

Therefore, the cavalry paid no attention to the archers. Shielded, they charged with all their might, aiming to reach the magi before they could unleash their skills.

Once the magi were in close combat, it would indeed be a dead-end for them!

The archers were becoming desperate, their eyes red, frantically drawing and releasing arrows.

The arrows struck shields and armor, sparking but failing to halt the cavalry's advance.

"Right, aim for the horses! Shoot their warhorses directly!"

Howard urgently shouted out.

He was not as cold as Wales; having spent so much ti with Athena and the others, he truly couldn't bear to see them perish miserably.

Hearing his words, the archers snapped back to reality, slapping their foreheads in realization.

Understandably, fear made it hard to make the right choices.

Fortunately, Howard's tily reminder jolted them into action.

They quickly adjusted their aim, focusing intently on the cavalry's warhorses.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

In the next mont, arrows left the bowstrings, shooting like lightning, and fiercely struck the legs of the warhorses.
