The head guard looked at the lush wilderness with a bitter expression.
"Damn it, why can he run so fast?" he muttered in disbelief.
"Sir," his subordinate came to him and bowed, however the head guard wasn't in the mood to listen to them; his expression turned gloomier.
"Should we retreat and call for the tracking Wizard?"
The head guard shook his head. "That would be too late. Go inform the village. As for me, I will pursue him."
"Umm... What should I tell them, Head Guard?" Calvin asked with a tentative expression.
The head guard gave the person a look. "Are you stupid? Aur has betrayed the village. That announcement will be made by the Village Leader."
"Yes sir," Calvin saluted.
Another guard suddenly asked, his eyes flickering, "What about you, Head Guard?" Enjoy more content from mvl
The guard's voice fell, and his figure blurred.
The guard slowly returned to the village, while Calvin wore a confused expression.
"What are you thinking about, Calvin?" one of the guards asked, patting him on the back.
"Why do you think the head guard was so adamant about chasing Aur?" Calvin asked, confusion evident on his face.
"You still don't get it? Among us, you are the most naive," the guard chuckled, and the others joined in laughter.
"What's so funny about it?" Calvin asked, his expression cold.
"Forget it. I'll tell you. If the head guard can capture him, he will surely be hailed as a hero for catching the traitor. The fame he will gain will naturally spread throughout the village. However, most importantly, he wanted to chase Aur for his secrets."
"What do you mean?" Calvin interrupted, his confusion deepening.
"Hahaha, Aur ran away. That means he must be the perpetrator or someone related to him. The murder of the alchemist was carried out with a terrifying heat comparable to that of a tier two, but Aur is only a mid-tier one."
"What does that mean?"
He wouldn't have the capital to use as many spells as he was currently using.
"Sigh, I should leave," he decided, turning around to go away.
Just then, he heard a cold, hoarse voice.
"Where do you think you are going?"
The Head Guard, who was about to leave, abruptly turned around, a smirk on his face.
"You fell for it," he said, swiping his hand to summon a sword.
"Tier one: Metal control."
The sword shot forward rapidly, converging in a direction.
Boom!
"He should be at least injured. Although I used a tier one spell with my green mana, it is several times more powerful..."
His eyes narrowed slightly as the dust settled, revealing a completely unharmed Aur. Casually extending his hand, Aur found that the sword couldn't penetrate his skin.
"Impossible. This is a sword comparable to a letha-"
The Head Guard paused as the surrounding temperature increased, causing the sword to melt into the ground.
Without giving him a chance to react, Aur took out his bow from his spatial ring and shot his blood and Qi arrow.
"Ho, the power of these arrows is interesting," the Head Guard said with a look of interest.
The arrow collided with an invisible metal barrier and halted in the process, falling to the ground.
"Tier two: Metal cage."
Aur was a little surprised by this, but his feet never stopped moving. In an instant, he was in front of the Head Guard as if he had teleported.
"Tier one: Blink." The mana in his mental space rapidly depleted as his punch descended, accompanied by the release of his aura. His blood and Qi-infused fist carried the strongest strength he could muster at the moment.
The Head Guard looked at the giant punch descending upon him, a chill creeping up his spine.
