"No more chase?" Yosen Orange asked.
He had used his earth magic spell to mess up the ground. This will cause an effect similar to an earthquake and cause the magic warriors to fall down. While this will not exactly hurt these magic warriors, but it would inevitably hinder their movements and the other two should be able to attack them and possibly kill them.
Unfortunately, these two people failed to do so.
And now that these people were already so far away, Yosen Orange was too lazy to follow suit. After all, his physical strength was not exactly the best.
Chasing would also be too tiring.
"No." Seda Purple shook his head. He didn’t think that he alone could defeat all of them with his own strength. Even if he had some strength, there were a few rank 4 and rank 3 magic warriors on the opponent’s side.
If it was not because they were focused on running away before, Seda Purple suspected that they might even counterattack.
At that time, it would be unknown who will have the final laugh.
One thing for sure, though, they would not be able to escape unscathed.
"And she has fainted."
When Seda Purple said that, Yosen Orange turned his head and saw that Helia Yellow had indeed fainted. She drank too much mana potion and now suffered from mana poisoning.
The mana potion could indeed help them to recover their mana quickly but there was a limit to how many they could drink in a short period of time. Too much mana potion would make it impossible for their body to completely digest it and would produce poisoning symptoms.
This was not exactly a good thing.
It seemed that even if they wanted to, they couldn’t go and chase the others.
"She only knows how to make trouble."
"Let’s hurry and bring her back. The elders should be able to treat her."
While the magic warriors from Xunsu City planned to retreat, James and the others were still running away. After all, they didn’t know the other party’s decision.
It was only after more than an hour running did they stop.
Both Lucy and Louis fell down.
The two of them were very tired after using their transformation magic for such a long period of time. They had drank mana potion on the way to maintain their transformation magic and in the end, they couldn’t last any longer.
Lucy might have used the transformation magic for a shorter period of time, but her rank was also lower than her brother.
This made her faint right after they stopped.
On the other hand, Louis was still able to sit and ready to meditate.
"I’ll leave it to you to guard."
"I know." Leah nodded and then she looked at the distance where Hall Ruby was panting and trying to catch up. Lucy and Louis were a bit too fast, so Hall Ruby was having difficulties catching up with them. Thankfully, his own physical strength was not that bad.
He still managed to catch up one way or another.
Vance was also lying down on the ground. He used wind elements to help speed up his speed, but it was still far from comparable to Louis and Lucy. So right now, he was unable to do anything else and needed to recover his mana badly.
"Hani is not here," Vance said to James.
"I know." James gritted his teeth.
When they were running away, he wanted to protect her, but he found out that he was overestimating himself. How could his sword completely block the attack from rank 4 magic spell?
It was already good enough for him to protect himself and there was no strength left for him to protect his teammates.
In the end, Lucy was left behind.
It would be a lie to say that James Ruler didn’t feel responsible for this.
After all, they were teammates who have worked together for a long time. It was simply impossible for him not to feel anything when he knew the other party’s situation.
What could they do now?
"I’m sorry," James said in a low voice.
Vance shook his head. "Let’s talk to her family members after we come back to Wansu City. It’s not your fault alone but we all decided to do this."
"I know," James murmured in a low voice but it was unknown whether he truly accepted it or he was just saying it for the sake of it.
The others said nothing.
From the very moment they became magic warriors, they should have been prepared to go on the battlefield and die in battle. Because there were a lot of dangers that they had to face if they wanted to become stronger faster.
Leah looked at her cousin and took a deep breath. "Thank you very much."
She knew that it was James who decided to help them.
With them suddenly appearing and disturbing the magic warriors from Xunsu City, it would have been impossible for them to escape in the end.
James looked at his cousin and nodded in return.
Louis looked at this scene and then turned his head to look at his sister. The weak sister who couldn’t even use her transformation magic properly was surprisingly the one who saved him this time.
How fate turns so quickly.
He took a deep breath and pushed the thoughts away.
Right now, it was more important for them to recover their mana quickly.
The magic spells from the two sides were fired. Even though there were only two people on the opposite side, Aya could tell that her friends were not their opponents at all.
If they wanted to survive...
Aya immediately sped up and landed in front of one of the magic warriors, her fist was coated in a wind element and she punched forward.
The opponent used an instant magic spell and blocked the attack.
