Synthetic Wizard - Chapter 130 - 105: Carolina (Part 2)

Chapter 130: Chapter 105: Carolina (Part 2)

If you shift your gaze to the lower half, upon seeing that thick green snake tail swaying back and forth on the ground, all evil thoughts would dissipate.

“Is that also a human-faced lion?” Rose’s eyes flashed with a hint of doubt.

“That is a member of the human-faced lion nobility.” Sunan said lightly, “Most human-faced lions are half-human, half-lion; only the nobility are half-human, half-snake, and are mostly female. That individual is likely a member of the upper ruling class of this city-state.”

“The illusion earlier was probably cast by her.”

The human-faced lion nobility are not only skilled in close combat but also possess illusion skill-like magical abilities; each one is a dual-class prowess, legendary level formidable fighter.

Rose looked towards the human-faced lion nobility and indeed found that besides having a curved black snake-shaped dagger at her waist, she was also holding a staff encrusted with silver snake-shaped ornaments.

Rose glanced at Sunan in surprise and couldn’t help but ask, “How do you know so much?”

“I read about it in a book.” Sunan casually replied.

Rose was half-convinced, half in doubt.

At this time, the human-faced lion nobility suddenly spoke.

“Impressive, if I’m not mistaken, both of you are wizards.”

She smiled charmingly, her eyes flowing with enchantment, not at all like facing an enemy in a life-and-death struggle, but rather like seeing a lover after many years apart.

“Let me introduce myself, my name is Carolina.”

“It has been many years since wizards have visited our city-state, and today two have come at once, which is truly unusual.”

“But isn’t it unreasonable for you to intrude upon our territory for no reason and kill so many of my kin? Even if you are wizards, you should not act so recklessly, right?”

Rose sneered, “It’s nauseating to hear such words from your mouth. Didn’t you just invade the surface and massacre an entire village’s civilians not long ago? Where was your reason then?”

Carolina suddenly realized, “You are from the Thorn Flower Duchy.”

Sunan’s expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Rose.

It seems that Rose likely found the entrance to the underground world because of this matter.

Could she be from the Thorn Flower Duchy?

“So you came for revenge.”

Carolina laughed delicately, her voice crisp like silver bells.

“Then there’s nothing more to say, neither of you should think of leaving today…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Sunan and Rose had already acted simultaneously, over ten magic missiles shot towards Carolina, interrupting her next words.

Carolina’s face darkened, her snake tail agilely swaying, dodging most of the missiles.

The remaining missiles hit her, but it was as if leaves had fallen on a lake surface, causing slight ripples before disappearing.

Unharmed, Carolina jumped down from the rooftop, landing steadily on the ground.

She sneered, waving her staff and striking the ground heavily.

In an instant, several phantom images appeared around all the human-faced lions present, then instantly separated, solidifying and pouncing together.

Suddenly, the enemies increased several times.

This was clearly some sort of illusion technique, as Carolina couldn’t possibly summon so many kin instantly.

However, generally speaking, opponents don’t have the time to discern which are illusions and which are real.

Carolina had previously used this move to eliminate many powerful opponents.

But this time, she was destined for disappointment.

Because she was facing wizard apprentices with more flexible and diverse methods.

Sunan did not hesitate to activate the Frozen Necklace, and in an instant, a bone-chilling cold wave exploded outward from him!

Where the wave passed, the illusions vanished like bubbles being pierced, while the real human-faced lions froze into ice with cracking sounds!

In the blink of an eye, dozens of ice sculptures appeared on the street.

Witnessing this scene, not only Carolina but even Rose was taken aback.

“Micro-Light Level magical artifact!”

Rose took a light breath, her eyes filled with both envy and surprise.

These days, acquiring a Micro-Light Level magical artifact is extremely difficult; making one yourself is unthinkable.

She had accumulated possessions for so many years, with more than ten magical artifacts on her, yet none was Micro-Light Level, all were without exception Alchemy Level.

Seeing the astounding power of the Micro-Light Level magical artifact at this moment, she couldn’t help but feel very envious!

“I didn’t expect players even have such valuable items.”

Rose gained a new understanding of the wealth players possessed.

After breaking Carolina’s illusion with one strike, while the human-faced lions were in chaos, Sunan flicked his fingers, and a flash of a glowing gemstone shot out like a bullet.

Boom!

In mid-air, the gemstone burst into a dazzling azure light, transforming into a massive thunderbolt that suddenly crashed down on Carolina, burying her in an instant.

“Go!”

Sunan whispered in a deep voice, leaving two Elite Stone Golems behind to hold off the enemy, while he and Rose quickly fled.

After all, this was the enemy’s stronghold; they couldn’t afford to linger too long and had to leave quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared at the end of the street.

At the same time, a sharp and piercing scream suddenly echoed.

The gusts of wind blew away the smoke and dust, revealing the figure of Carolina.

Her entire body was covered in charred scars, and most of the scales on her snake tail had fallen off, completely devoid of her previously strange and seductive appearance, making her look especially wretched.

“Damn Wizard!”

“Damn humans!”

Carolina stared venomously in the direction Sunan and Rose had fled, realizing it was too late to pursue, and in her anger, she slammed her staff hard against the ground.

“Lord Carolina.”

A group of human-faced lions came rushing from afar, with a tall human-faced lion leading them.

He looked at the injured Carolina in shock.

In his memory, the powerful Lord Carolina had never been in such a sorry state.

Who were these invaders that managed to wound Lord Carolina like this?

Carolina glanced at him, her face dark and gloomy, “Angus, how’s it going at the city gate?”

Angus lowered his gaze, respectfully replying, “The enemy has been completely dealt with!”

After a pause, he hesitated and said, “However, Lord Carolina, those enemies were very strange; they didn’t seem to be real intelligent beings.”

Carolina coldly replied, “Those are golems, a kind of puppet made by Wizards.”

“Wizards!”

Angus was taken aback.

The attackers were Wizards—it was no wonder even Lord Carolina had ended up in this condition.

In the vast underground world, many legends about Wizards still circulate to this day.

They are feared even more than Dragon Demons, Dark Elves, and Frost Corpse Ghosts!

“Take the injured away for treatment, and have people keep an eye on the slaves in the Lower City District to prevent any foolish chaos. I need to report this to the City Lord.”

“Yes, Lord Caleron!”

Watching Carolina disappear, Angus turned back to the devastated street, his gaze lingering for a moment on the two golems that had been reduced to fragments, his brow furrowing.

“Someone, quickly clean up this mess!”

…

After breaking through the encirclement successfully, Sunan and Rose immediately used their Invisibility Skill, disappearing once more.

The pursuing soldiers had been stopped by the two Elite Stone Golems, and along their path, aside from encountering a few human-faced lions, they faced no other obstacles and smoothly escaped the city.

Not until they returned to the original cave did Sunan and Rose finally relax.

“We owe it all to you this time,” Rose said with a light smile towards Sunan.

The successful retrieval of the key from the human-faced lions’ city was entirely thanks to Sunan.

If he hadn’t used the golems to attack the city gate, distracting the main force of the human-faced lions, and then severely injuring that human-faced lion noble with a lightning strike, they wouldn’t have escaped so smoothly.

Sunan’s strength was even greater than she had imagined!

Especially that strike which severely injured the human-faced lion noble—it resembled an Energy Rune, yet its power was far greater, leaving Rose secretly astonished.

Sunan shook his head, saying nothing.

Primarily, it pained him.

The three Elite Stone Golems and a hundred Stone Golems he had left in the city had a total value exceeding ten thousand Gold Coins!

Equivalent to a month’s profit from the mining district!

To obtain the key to the Wizard’s heritage, he had paid a hefty price.

“I hope what’s in the Wizard’s heritage can make up for my loss,”

Sunan pondered silently.
