Chapter 134:He Is A Knight?
Chapter 134:He Is A Knight?
Ian struggled desperately in the onslaught and tearing of the two hyenas, gradually losing ground with no one left to save him.
In Menier's hand, he tightly held the last fireball spell scroll, his gaze fixed on the ugly heads of the hyenas and their gaping mouths.
He had heard just a few days ago that a doctor on Baka Street had successfully killed a fourth-tier werewolf by stuffing a fourth-level fireball spell scroll into its mouth.
Unfortunately, this hyena had two heads, and his protective barrier had already been exhausted. If the fireball spell scroll exploded at close range, he would be the first to die.
But he still intended to give it a try.
Ian was surely doomed, just like he was.
Most of the vendors on Baka Street were not strong, and only a few had installed magical barriers.
If these three hyenas were allowed to slaughter, by the time the captain arrived with his team, half the street would likely be devoured.
Before he died, he had to do something.
As a Fox Guardian, his mission was to protect the Harriman family's property and ensure the safety of the tenants on Baka Street.
He was just worried about who would take care of Carly in the future.
She was his childhood sweetheart and had been weak since childhood.
However, if he and Uncle Ian died together, she should be able to receive a considerable pension, and at least not live in too much hardship.
His eyes gradually turned red, he clenched his fist, adjusted his breathing, and ensured that when his arm was bitten by the hyena, he could release the spell scroll in time.
"Is he planning to risk his life?!" Charlotte noticed Menier holding the magic scroll behind the window, as well as his resolute gaze, and his heart skipped a beat.
A third-tier magician had no chance of getting up after falling in front of a fourth-tier magical beast.
What he was holding in his hand should still be a third-level fireball spell scroll, which would not cause substantial damage to the tough-skinned hyenas when used conventionally.
So, he intended to use his own life to give them a mark.
Charlotte had his doubts. Did this kid hear the rumors about him in the martial world?
But... he was a knight?!
Moreover, at that time, he had Vivian behind him, an intermediate healing mage who could provide him with timely treatment.
Menier's current behavior was suicidal.
At the moment of the fireball spell's explosion, he would be the first one consumed by the flames.
Whether he would hurt the hyena depended on how deep he could insert it.
The hyenas were rapidly approaching, and Charlotte instinctively grabbed the doorknob while looking at the magician lying on the ground in despair.
In the darkness, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at the Fox Guardian.
But Charlotte knew the strength of the neighbors on the street. Most of them couldn't even protect themselves.
How could they be expected to help him?
Now, the only one who could save him was probably himself.
As long as he could drag him into the medical hall, the fourth-level magical barrier should be able to withstand the attack of the three mad hyenas.
But he was just a rookie who had just reached the primary level of a knight. Even if he knew a bit of body technique, he didn't have the strength to confront a fourth-tier hyena head-on.
In the blink of an eye, the hyenas had already approached within a distance of less than ten meters.
Menier's expression was resolute. He held a spell scroll tightly in one hand and a magic staff in the other, silently reciting an incantation.
A fire serpent shot out and pounced toward the hyenas.
However, the seemingly imposing fire serpent was shattered by the bite of the hyenas, causing only a slight delay in their speed without inflicting substantial damage.
"Come on, you beast!" Menier struggled to get up, raising his fair and delicate fist provocatively towards the hyenas.
In the distance, he could already see Ian's neck being bitten off by one of the hyenas, then torn apart and devoured.
Despair and fear made his body tremble slightly, but his gaze remained exceptionally firm.
Bang!
At this moment, the door of the nearby clinic suddenly burst open, and a dark figure shot out, rushing straight toward the hyena.
In his hand, he wielded a black longsword, which took on a strange color under the red moonlight.
Menier subconsciously turned his head and looked at the figure that had almost turned into a blur, showing a look of astonishment.
The hyena that was pouncing toward Menier also sensed the threat and stopped its charge. Its two ugly heads turned and opened their blood-filled mouths, ready to bite at the figure wielding the sword.
"The Abyss Clinic is open!"
"Could it be Doctor Charlotte?"
"But I thought he couldn't use magic? Could it be... he's a knight?"
The neighbors on the street silently watched this scene unfold, equally taken aback.
Splat!
The hyena bit into the neck of the figure, but instead of a scene of blood splattering, the figure mysteriously dissipated, revealing that it was just an afterimage.
Meanwhile, Charlotte had already appeared beside Menier, grabbing him by the collar and lifting him as if he were holding a little chick. He turned around and sprinted towards the open door of the clinic.
The hyena, realizing it had been deceived, also sprinted towards Charlotte in a fit of rage, its speed increasing once again.
What was even more terrifying was that the head on its left side had crimson flames gathering in its mouth, as if it was about to breathe fire!
Apart from its immense strength and biting force, this hyena had magical attacking abilities!
Its earlier attack on Menier seemed more like pre-dinner entertainment, toying with its food.
Roar!
The hyena opened its mouth, and a stream of flames shot out, the scorching tongue of fire crossing ten meters in an instant, blocking Charlotte's path.
Anticipation!
This foolish dog could even anticipate movement!
Charlotte stomped heavily on the ground and his figure suddenly shot up, easily stepping over the wall of flames in front of him.
However, with an adult in his hand, he couldn't utilize the "Glimpse of Brilliance" fully or deceive the hyena with afterimages.
So he flipped himself into the air and looked at the wide-open door of the clinic, directly flinging Menier out.
The hyena lunged forward, its wide-open jaws ready to bite Menier, but it only managed to tear off one of his shoes in front of the clinic's entrance before crashing into a magical barrier.
The magical barrier flickered with light several times but remained as solid as a rock.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was a commotion inside the clinic, and who knew how many things had been knocked over?
Charlotte momentarily lamented his newly bought furniture, looking at the two-headed hyena blocking the entrance. His mood sank to the bottom.
Although this beast had gone insane under the red moon, it hadn't completely lost its wits.
What bothered him, even more, was that the two hyenas that had been feasting on Ian had also begun rushing toward his direction.
Now, things had gotten out of hand.
Charlotte flipped off the middle finger at the hyena in front of the clinic's door, then turned around and started sprinting.
If he didn't lure away the hyena in front of the door, he wouldn't be able to go back to the clinic. And once he was surrounded by the three hyenas, his agility and tricks would be of little use.
The two-level difference felt like an insurmountable chasm.
With a thought, three magical talismans appeared in his hand.
One was a Fourth-level Fireball Spell, one was a Fourth-level Frostbite Spell, and the last one was a trump carda Fifth-level Thunderstorm Spell.
The Fourth-level Fireball Spell, if cast properly, could inflict damage on a Fourth-level hyena.
Even the formidable Wolverine would meet his end if a Fourth-level Fireball Spell was shoved into his mouth.
The Fourth-level Frostbite Spell could slow down the speed of the hyena when necessary, but its effectiveness was limited.
As for the Fifth-level Thunderstorm Spell, he hated to use it on these three dumb dogs.
This was his ultimate lifeline, a precious treasure that money couldn't necessarily buy, especially since he was broke.
Therefore, his first choice was to use his escape to buy some time, hoping to hold on until the Harriman Fox Guards arrived.
The two Fox Guards had already fired their signal flare. Given the efficiency of the Fox Guards, there should already be someone on their way.
However, he quickly realized that he had overestimated himself.
Sprinting in a straight line without any obstacles, the three hyenas rapidly closed the distance behind him, now less than thirty meters away and steadily shrinking.
