Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy-Chapter 584 - 582: Deadly Pursuit
Chapter 584: Chapter 582: Deadly Pursuit
Dark currents surged behind him, but Ivan was completely unaware.
However, he knew the principle that he who defends always loses.
Such a frenzied escape could not last long, thus his mind was constantly racing, trying to find a correct plan to make his getaway.
At the moment, he was on the third layer underground. Meg had told him quite a few pieces of information about this layer.
The passage to the second layer was also not far from here. Whether to continue running on the third layer or escape to the second layer underground, he had to make a decision quickly.
“The second layer is the stronghold of the Blood Elves and the Snake People, which is quite inconvenient.”
“The third layer is more chaotic and more dangerous, with many peculiar creatures, now I only have to risk my life and break through to find an opportunity to get rid of these three shameless old fellows.”
Ivan was never an indecisive person. Once he had an idea, he immediately put it into action and adjusted his direction towards a dangerous area that Meg had mentioned.
“Boom!”
Sudden gusts of wind came from behind, and a tremendous force of mixed energies rushed toward him.
The force was far greater than any before.
“Once a person is shameless, indeed they can do anything!”
Ivan immediately understood what was happening and cursed out loud.
These three people were too shameless. Besides teaming up against him, a lesser lord, two of them launched a fierce attack while the twin-headed Poison Dragon tried to block from the side.
It was clearly a well-planned move.
“Quick battle, quick decision!” shouted the twin-headed Poison Dragon.
“Don’t worry, he won’t be arrogant for long,” the Blood Elf King Harlington assured confidently.
“Exactly, exactly. When the time comes, whether to flay or dissect, it is entirely up to us,” laughed the Snake-man Ancient King Hawke.
The three Ancient Kings didn’t bother with any other talk, vowing to capture this human sorcerer in one fell swoop.
At this moment, Ivan felt an immense pressure.
He knew that once caught, he would be trapped by the three and have no chance of escaping. The urgent need was to take a desperate move.
Facing the ferocious blow of wind and fire, he didn’t dodge or yield, but forcefully endured the strike.
The next second, using the fierce force from the storm’s onslaught, he sped forward like a meteor, accelerating even faster.
‘Soul Power Acceleration Spell’
‘Domain Power’
‘Power of Space’
‘Golden War Drum’
Coupled with the explosive impact of the wildfire.
Ivan did everything he could. As his flesh tore and blood flowed, his speed momentarily soared, actually widening the gap between himself and the three Ancient Kings.
“Stop him!”
“Pursue!”
Harlington and the others did not expect him to make such an unusual move.
Regardless, the three were determined to capture their opponent, still relentlessly chasing behind.
“Harlington, I heard that your Blood Elf clan has a ‘Sun Chasing Bow’, why not take it out and show us,” the Snake-man Ancient King suggested with a hint.
“And doesn’t your Snake People clan also have a fantastic item called ‘Medusa’s Eyes’? How come you’re not using it?” Harlington countered.
As the underground overlords who had endured countless ages, neither the Blood Elves nor the Snake People could possibly be without their own resources.
However, the artifact that serves as the clan’s guardian is not to be used lightly, to be honest, using it to deal with a lord creature is indeed quite inappropriate.
“I have a dose of Medusa’s Power, but I cannot lock onto that slippery human.”
The Snake-man Ancient King helplessly stated, pulling out a stone statue of a Gorgon woman with her eyes tightly shut, which was indeed the legendary creature ‘Medusa’ they were referring to.
“Seeing the actions of the human sorcerer, he probably wants to head to the eerie Trembling Paradise, leaving us not much time.”
“Snake-people are known for their cunning, and seeing it today, the reputation is indeed well-deserved.”
Harlington snorted coldly, suddenly holding a Golden Blood Bow that emitted an ominous aura, with the faint wails of souls fallen under the bow being heard.
Rumor has it that the Sun Chasing Bow made by the Blood Elves could slay the Solar Deity Bird without being despised by the Underground World.
More importantly, the arrows fired by the Sun Chasing Bow would firmly lock on their target, relentless until they draw blood.
“Boom!”
Harlington quickly drew his bow, the string taut, and the arrow sped off.
Not far ahead, Ivan suddenly felt alarm bells ringing; he sensed a sharp, unstoppable force rapidly approaching him from behind.
In the blink of an eye, a solid shield appeared behind him.
This was an Ant King Sky Shield, reaching the level of a magic artifact, perfectly positioned to block the approaching golden-red arrow.
With a loud blast, the Ant King Sky Shield was destroyed.
The Sun Chasing Arrow did not fare better, shredded by the chaotic cutting force erupted from the Sky Shield at the last moment.
“What a human, tougher to handle than imagined.”
Harlington drew his bow and shot another arrow, Ivan casually threw out another Ant King Sky Shield, throwing them as if they cost nothing.
After a series of probes, Harlington and the Snake-man Ancient King were left speechless.

They had to admit that this sorcerer from the human race was quite unlike other lord creatures from the Underground, with an unexpectedly high combat capability.
The opponent was fully focused on escaping, and for the moment, they really couldn’t do anything about it.
It was utterly frustrating.
One person was frantically racing ahead, risking his life to escape.
Three Ancient Kings were relentlessly chasing after him.
During the chase, the four soon arrived at a peculiar Rift Valley Jungle; the valley was lined with silvery-white rocks, and the jungle grew excessively dense, a place normally referred to as ‘Trembling Paradise’.
As Ivan neared, he noticed an unusually large number of Solar Deity Birds perching above the valley, illuminating the jungle below quite brightly.
One could also see colorful dust particles floating in the valley, along with things like poison bubbles and sticky fluids under the sunlight, making it clear this was not a benevolent place.
Without much thought, he dove deep into the rift, his figure instantly disappearing beneath the dense foliage.
The three Ancient Kings clearly had reservations and stopped one after another beside the valley, frowning deeply while staring at the lush jungle in front of them.
“This great name, Trembling Paradise, I’ve heard more than once on the second level of the underground, what do you guys think we should do now?” The Snake-man Ancient King looked more towards the two-headed Poison Dragon.
The two-headed Poison Dragon was an indigenous creature of this layer.
“Trembling Paradise isn’t very large; we can spread out and guard the outside, waiting for that guy to come out,” one of the dragon heads immediately suggested, seeming reluctant to step foot into this strange place.
“From what I know about Trembling Paradise, nobody can stay inside for long; that fellow won’t last and will run out on his own,” the other head concurred.
Even the brasher Poison Dragon King showed a reluctance to approach, reflecting the deterrent force of Trembling Paradise.
Hearing this, the Snake-man Ancient King and Blood Elf King frowned even more; they were very unwilling to see that human sorcerer moving freely and were hesitant to step into the drastically different valley.
After much deliberation, the two finally decided not to take immediate action, but to wait until the sun had set.
According to the rules of Trembling Paradise, everything would become clear then, and it would not be too late to act; until then, they would follow the Poison Dragon King’s suggestion to patrol the surroundings and resolutely prevent the human sorcerer from seizing any opportunity.
