Chapter 133 Game On The Wasteland



"Clatter, clatter, clatter!"

The rapid hoofbeats drew nearer and nearer to Tyler, accompanied by a bright light.

The source of the light was none other than Moto-chan, the warhorse, holding a luminous magic stone in its mouth!

"Come on——! Moto-chan——!"

Tyler pushed himself to run towards Moto-chan, but the Crimson Serpent King was hot on his heels!

Just as the Crimson Serpent King was about to launch another attack, Moto-chan arrived in the nick of time. Tyler leaped onto the horse, and Moto-chan galloped away at full speed, narrowly evading the serpent's enormous maw!

"Moto-chan! You're alive!"

Tyler emotionally embraced the warhorse's neck, and Moto-chan responded with a spirited neigh.

Tyler could hardly believe he had the chance to fight alongside Moto-chan again.

Now that Moto-chan had appeared, it meant that the horse had managed to shake off the Poison Blade Rat King, opening up the possibility for a new tactic.

"Moto-chan! To the left!"

Following the timing of the red light in his field of vision, Tyler guided Moto-chan to dodge the Crimson Serpent King's successive assaults.

In terms of mental strength and performance in battle, Moto-chan was incomparable—a true champion among horses!

Curious about the luminous magic stone, Tyler examined Moto-chan's status information and immediately understood everything.

The warhorse Moto-chan had indeed transformed into a magical creature.

Tyler could only be sure that Moto-chan's transformation had occurred tonight, but the exact timing was uncertain.

If someone else had discovered their beloved horse had turned into a magical creature, they might have been afraid, even killing it with tears in their eyes.

But not Tyler, he was overjoyed!

Without Moto-chan's transformation, it couldn't have lured enemies with the luminous magic stone or returned to rescue Tyler after shaking off the Poison Blade Rat King.ηOVElusb.COm

Moto-chan's abilities now far surpassed those of an ordinary horse; it was Tyler's ideal partner!

However, Tyler didn't let optimism blind him.

He noticed Moto-chan's endurance was already less than half, and now with his added weight on the horse's back, its strength would likely deplete even more quickly.

Tyler recognized Splurt's obsession with the Secret Saber: Blaze Steed from their previous encounter. Escaping him tonight was impossible, and a decisive confrontation was necessary to bring closure to the events.

As for how to end it, Tyler had a plan in mind, but its success hinged on the execution's effectiveness.

"Splurt!"

"Don't you desire this sword?"

"Why aren't you pursuing to seize it?!"

Tyler spun around, brandishing the magic sword at the Crimson Serpent King, showing off his prowess, seeking to provoke the creature and disrupt its rhythm, thereby hastening its energy depletion.

Indeed, Splurt was enraged, instantly stopping to repeat his previous tactic, launching a sticky venomous snake orb at Tyler and Moto-chan!

Seeing this, Tyler didn't hesitate to swing the magic sword, unleashing the skill "Blaze Steed" before the orb dispersed into the snake rain!

An intense, the blazing stallion engulfed the sky, swiftly incinerating the venomous snakes into charred remains, ensuring Tyler and Moto-chan didn't lose any momentum!

—(Truly a formidable magic sword, this power...)

Tyler glanced at the "Secret Saber: Blaze Steed" in his hand, understanding why Oleg was reluctant to destroy it and why Splurt was so fixated on it.

This magic sword possessed unparalleled value.

However, neither Oleg nor Splurt truly grasped the complete nature of this magic sword.

6.The lowest rank of magic core currently accepted by the Shadow Sword Blaze Steed: Tier 1;

━━━━━━━━━

The Shadow Sword Blaze Steed wasn't cursed; it simply had stringent usage requirements.

Even if it triggered the "Flame of Retribution" inadvertently, replenishing its magic energy would extinguish the fire.

Regrettably, Oleg and his team couldn't decipher the sword's usage, leading to their lingering fear after a single mishap.

Currently, Tyler had "718/1240" magic energy remaining.

He had to make full use of his remaining magic energy to lead the Crimson Serpent King, Splurt, to the final battleground!

Above the desolate expanse of the North Sunny Wastelands, and under the moonlight, the echoing clatter of warhorse hooves rang out, relentlessly pursued by the Crimson Serpent King.

Splurt, his eyes bloodshot, glared at the youth and horse ahead.

Countless times this evening, he had come tantalizingly close to the Secret Saber: Blaze Steed, only for it to slip away at the last moment!

Now, Splurt had wagered everything—even facing the Organization's retribution—just to obtain the Blaze Steed!

The speeds of both parties were similar across the wasteland, resulting in Splurt's inability to catch up, no matter how hard he tried.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm During the chase, Splurt could use the skill "Snake Rain" to restrain his quarry in his Crimson Serpent King form, but with Banning wielding the magic sword, Splurt had to weigh the pros and cons.

—(Three times... no, twice. If I use "Snake Rain" twice more and they don't stop, I'll lose them...)

Would the youth be backfired upon by the magic sword after using it twice? Splurt couldn't be sure.

Hence, Splurt was left with no choice but to rely on his physical strength.

He believed that the warhorse, bearing a rider and running at full speed, could not endure for long.

At this moment, Splurt began to "miss" his flock of rats.

If he could control the rats to launch a pincer attack, they could easily subdue the youth and horse.

Unfortunately, in his Crimson Serpent King form, he was unable to utilize any other skills of the "Magic Spirit Walker."

During the pursuit, Splurt suddenly spotted a glimmer of hope.

Following Banning's current trajectory, it wouldn't be long before they reached the river outside Sunny Town.

Once there, if they were to change direction, they would inevitably lose speed. Furthermore, if they attempted to ford the river, it would provide the perfect opportunity for Splurt to strike!

Even if Splurt failed to eliminate them at the river, the warhorse's speed would be useless within the dense Sunny Forest—a battleground where the serpent held the advantage!

—(Damn brat, fortune favors the bold...)

—(When the time comes, don't expect me to grant you a swift death!)
